| [1]BelshazzarH1113 the kingH4430 madeH5648[H8754] a greatH7229 feastH3900 to a thousandH506 of his lordsH7261, and drankH8355[H8750] wineH2562 beforeH6903 the thousandH506. |
[1]Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand. |
| [2]BelshazzarH1113, whiles he tastedH2942 the wineH2562, commandedH560[H8754] to bringH858[H8682] the goldenH1722 and silverH3702 vesselsH3984 which his fatherH2 NebuchadnezzarH5020 had takenH5312[H8684] out ofH4481 the templeH1965 which was in JerusalemH3390; that the kingH4430, and his princesH7261, his wivesH7695, and his concubinesH3904, might drinkH8355 thereinH8748. |
[2]Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein. |
| [3]ThenH116 they broughtH858[H8684] the goldenH1722 vesselsH3984 that were takenH5312[H8684] out ofH4481 the templeH1965 of the houseH1005 of GodH426 which was at JerusalemH3390; and the kingH4430, and his princesH7261, his wivesH7695, and his concubinesH3904, drankH8355 in themH8754. |
[3]Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them. |
| [4]They drankH8355[H8754] wineH2562, and praisedH7624[H8745] the godsH426 of goldH1722, and of silverH3702, of brassH5174, of ironH6523, of woodH636, and of stoneH69. |
[4]They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. |
| [5]In the same hourH8160 came forthH5312[H8754] fingersH677 of a man'sH606 handH3028, and wroteH3790[H8751] over againstH6903 the candlestickH5043 uponH5922 the plaisterH1528 of the wallH3797 of the king'sH4430 palaceH1965: and the kingH4430 sawH2370[H8751] the partH6447 of the handH3028 that wroteH3790.[H8751] |
[5]In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. |
| [6]ThenH116 the king'sH4430 countenanceH2122 was changedH8133[H8754], and his thoughtsH7476 troubledH927[H8792] him, so that the jointsH7001 of his loinsH2783 were loosedH8271[H8723], and his kneesH755 smoteH5368[H8750] oneH1668 against anotherH1668. |
[6]Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another. |
| [7]The kingH4430 criedH7123[H8748] aloudH2429 to bringH5954[H8682] in the astrologersH826, the ChaldeansH3779, and the soothsayersH1505[H8750]. And the kingH4430 spakeH6032[H8750], and saidH560[H8750] to the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895, WhosoeverH606[H3606] shall readH7123[H8751] thisH1836 writingH3792, and shewH2324[H8741] me the interpretationH6591 thereof, shall be clothedH3848[H8748] with scarletH711, and have a chainH2002 of goldH1722 aboutH5922 his neckH6676, and shall be the thirdH8523 rulerH7981[H8748] in the kingdomH4437. |
[7]The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom. |
| [8]ThenH116 cameH5954[H8750] in allH3606 the king'sH4430 wiseH2445 men: but they couldH3546[H8751] notH3809 readH7123[H8749] the writingH3792, nor make knownH3046[H8682] to the kingH4430 the interpretation thereofH6591. |
[8]Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof. |
| [9]ThenH116 was kingH4430 BelshazzarH1113 greatlyH7690 troubledH927[H8727], and his countenanceH2122 was changedH8133[H8750] in himH5922, and his lordsH7261 were astoniedH7672.[H8723] |
[9]Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied. |
| [10]Now the queenH4433, by reasonH6903 of the wordsH4406 of the kingH4430 and his lordsH7261, cameH5954[H8754] into the banquetH4961 houseH1005: and the queenH4433 spakeH6032[H8754] and saidH560[H8754], O kingH4430, liveH2418[H8747] for everH5957: let notH409 thy thoughtsH7476 troubleH927[H8792] thee, nor let thy countenanceH2122 be changedH8133:[H8721] |
[10]Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed: |
| [11]There isH383 a manH1400 in thy kingdomH4437, in whom is the spiritH7308 of the holyH6922 godsH426; and in the daysH3118 of thy fatherH2 lightH5094 and understandingH7924 and wisdomH2452, like the wisdomH2452 of the godsH426, was foundH7912[H8728] in him; whom the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020 thy fatherH2, the kingH4430, I say, thy fatherH2, madeH6966[H8684] masterH7229 of the magiciansH2749, astrologersH826, ChaldeansH3779, H1505and soothsayersH8750 |
[11]There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers; |
| [12]Forasmuch asH6903[H3606] an excellentH3493 spiritH7308, and knowledgeH4486, and understandingH7924, interpretingH6590[H8743] of dreamsH2493, and shewingH263 of hard sentencesH280, and dissolvingH8271[H8743] of doubtsH7001, were foundH7912[H8728] in the same DanielH1841, whom the kingH4430 namedH7761[H8754][H8036] BelteshazzarH1096: nowH3705 let DanielH1841 be calledH7123[H8729], and he will shewH2324[H8681] the interpretationH6591. |
[12]Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation. |
| [13]ThenH116 was DanielH1841 brought inH5954[H8717] beforeH6925 the kingH4430. And the kingH4430 spakeH6032[H8750] and saidH560[H8750] unto DanielH1841, Art thouH607 that DanielH1841, which art ofH4481 the childrenH1123 of the captivityH1547 of JudahH3061, whom the kingH4430 my fatherH2 broughtH858[H8684] out ofH4481 JewryH3061? |
[13]Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry? |
| [14]I have even heardH8086[H8754] of thee, that the spiritH7308 of the godsH426 is in theeH5922, and that lightH5094 and understandingH7924 and excellentH3493 wisdomH2452 is foundH7912 in theeH8728. |
[14]I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee. |
| [15]And nowH3705 the wiseH2445 men, the astrologersH826, have been broughtH5954[H8717] in beforeH6925 me, that they should readH7123[H8748] thisH1836 writingH3792, and make knownH3046[H8682] unto me the interpretationH6591 thereof: but they couldH3546[H8751] notH3809 shewH2324[H8682] the interpretationH6591 of the thingH4406: |
[15]And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing: |
| [16]And IH576 have heardH8086[H8754] of theeH5922, that thou canstH3202[H8748] makeH6590[H8749] interpretationsH6591, and dissolveH8271[H8749] doubtsH7001: nowH3705 ifH2006 thou canstH3202[H8748] readH7123[H8749] the writingH3792, and make knownH3046[H8682] to me the interpretationH6591 thereof, thou shalt be clothedH3848[H8748] with scarletH711, and have a chainH2002 of goldH1722 aboutH5922 thy neckH6676, and shalt be the thirdH8531 rulerH7981[H8748] in the kingdomH4437. |
[16]And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom. |
| [17]ThenH116 DanielH1841 answeredH6032[H8750] and saidH560[H8750] beforeH6925 the kingH4430, Let thy giftsH4978 beH1934[H8748] to thyself, and giveH3052[H8747] thy rewardsH5023 to anotherH321; yetH1297 I will readH7123[H8748] the writingH3792 unto the kingH4430, and make knownH3046[H8681] to him the interpretationH6591. |
[17]Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation. |
| [18]O thouH607 kingH4430, the most highH5943 GodH426 gaveH3052[H8754] NebuchadnezzarH5020 thy fatherH2 a kingdomH4437, and majestyH7238, and gloryH3367, and honourH1923: |
[18]O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour: |
| [19]And forH4481 the majestyH7238 that he gaveH3052[H8754] him, allH3606 peopleH5972, nationsH524, and languagesH3961, trembledH1934[H8754][H2112] and fearedH1763[H8751] beforeH4481 himH6925: whom he wouldH1934[H8754][H6634][H8750] he slewH1934[H8754][H6992][H8751]; and whom he wouldH1934[H8754][H6634][H8750] he kept aliveH1934[H8754][H2418][H8683]; and whom he wouldH1934[H8754][H6634][H8750] he set upH1934[H8754][H7313][H8683]; and whom he wouldH1934[H8754][H6634][H8750] he put downH1934[H8754][H8214].[H8683] |
[19]And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down. |
| [20]But when his heartH3825 was lifted upH7313[H8752], and his mindH7308 hardenedH8631[H8748] in prideH2103[H8682], he was deposedH5182[H8717] fromH4481 his kinglyH4437 throneH3764, and they tookH5709[H8684] his gloryH3367 from himH4481: |
[20]But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him: |
| [21]And he was drivenH2957[H8752] fromH4481 the sonsH1123 of menH606; and his heartH3825 was madeH7739[H8745] likeH5974 the beastsH2423, and his dwellingH4070 was with the wild assesH6167: they fedH2939[H8748] him with grassH6211 like oxenH8450, and his bodyH1655 was wetH6647[H8721] with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065; tillH5705 he knewH3046[H8754] that the most highH5943 GodH426 ruledH7990 in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and that he appointethH6966[H8681] overH5922 it whomsoeverH4479 he willH6634.[H8748] |
[21]And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will. |
| [22]And thouH607 his sonH1247, O BelshazzarH1113, hast notH3809 humbledH8214[H8684] thine heartH3825, thoughH6903 thou knewestH3046[H8754] allH3606 thisH1836; |
[22]And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this; |
| [23]But hast lifted upH7313[H8712] thyself againstH5922 the LordH4756 of heavenH8065; and they have broughtH858[H8684] the vesselsH3984 of his houseH1005 beforeH6925 thee, and thouH607, and thy lordsH7261, thy wivesH7695, and thy concubinesH3904, have drunkH8355[H8750] wineH2562 in them; and thou hast praisedH7624[H8745] the godsH426 of silverH3702, and goldH1722, of brassH5174, ironH6523, woodH636, and stoneH69, which seeH2370[H8751] notH3809, norH3809 hearH8086[H8750], norH3809 knowH3046[H8751]: and the GodH426 in whose handH3028 thy breathH5396 is, and whose are allH3606 thy waysH735, hast thou notH3809 glorifiedH1922:[H8745] |
[23]But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified: |
| [24]ThenH116 was the partH6447 of the handH3028 sentH7972[H8750] fromH4481 himH6925; and thisH1836 writingH3792 was writtenH7560.[H8752] |
[24]Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written. |
| [25]And thisH1836 is the writingH3792 that was writtenH7560[H8752], MENEH4484[H8752], MENEH4484[H8752], TEKELH8625[H8752], UPHARSINH6537.[H8751] |
[25]And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. |
| [26]ThisH1836 is the interpretationH6591 of the thingH4406: MENEH4484[H8752]; GodH426 hath numberedH4483[H8754] thy kingdomH4437, and finishedH8000 itH8684. |
[26]This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. |
| [27]TEKELH8625[H8752]; Thou art weighedH8625[H8760] in the balancesH3977, and art foundH7912[H8728] wantingH2627. |
[27]TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. |
| [28]PERESH6537[H8752]; Thy kingdomH4437 is dividedH6537[H8752], and givenH3052[H8753] to the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540. |
[28]PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. |
| [29]ThenH116 commandedH560[H8754] BelshazzarH1113, and they clothedH3848[H8684] DanielH1841 with scarletH711, and put a chainH2002 of goldH1722 aboutH5922 his neckH6676, and made a proclamationH3745[H8684] concerningH5922 him, that he should beH1934[H8748] the thirdH8531 rulerH7990 in the kingdomH4437. |
[29]Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom. |
| [30]In that nightH3916 was BelshazzarH1113 the kingH4430 of the ChaldeansH3779 slainH6992.[H8752] |
[30]In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. |
| [31]And DariusH1868 the MedianH4077 tookH6902[H8745] the kingdomH4437, being about threescoreH8361 and twoH8648 yearsH8140 oldH1247. |
[31]And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old. |
