墙上写字

5 伯沙撒王盛宴款待一千大臣，与他们一同饮酒。 2 王畅饮的时候，命人将先王尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷圣殿中掳来的金银器皿拿来，供他与大臣、王后和妃嫔用来饮酒。 3 于是，他们把从耶路撒冷上帝殿中掳来的金器拿来，王与大臣、王后和妃嫔便用这些器皿饮酒。 4 他们一边饮酒，一边颂赞金、银、铜、铁、木、石所造的神明。

5 突然，有人手的指头出现，在灯台对面王宫的粉墙上写字。王看见那只手在写字， 6 脸色骤变，惊恐万分，两腿发软，双膝颤抖。 7 他大声传令，召来巫师、占星家和占卜者，对这些巴比伦的智者说：“谁能读墙上的字，把意思告诉我，他必身穿紫袍，颈戴金链，在国中位居第三。” 8 王所有的智者进来后，竟无人能读懂或把意思告诉王。 9 伯沙撒王愈发恐惧，脸色苍白，他的大臣都不知所措。

10 太后听到王和大臣的喊声，便来到宴会厅，对王说：“愿王万岁！不要惊慌失色。 11 你国中有一个人，他有圣洁神明的灵。先王在世时，曾发现他有神明一样的灼见、悟性和智慧。先王尼布甲尼撒立他为术士、巫师、占星家和占卜者的首领。 12 他有非凡的心智、知识和悟性，能解梦、释谜、解惑。他叫但以理，先王给他取名叫伯提沙撒。现在可以把他召来，他必能解释这些字的意思。”

13 于是，但以理被带到王面前。王问他：“你就是先王从犹大掳来的但以理吗？ 14 我听说你有神明的灵，有灼见、悟性和非凡的智慧。 15 我召智者和巫师来读这些字，为我解释字的意思，但他们都不能解释。 16 我听说你能释梦、解惑。你若能读出墙上的字，把意思告诉我，你必身穿紫袍、颈戴金链，在我的国中位居第三。”

17 但以理回答说：“你的礼物自己留着，你的赏赐可以给别人，不过我会为你读这些字，解释意思。 18 王啊，至高的上帝曾将国位、权力、尊荣、威严赐给你的先王尼布甲尼撒， 19 因为他有上帝所赐的大权，各族、各邦、各语种的人都在他面前战抖，充满恐惧。他操生杀大权，可随意擢升、罢黜。 20 但他变得心高气傲、刚愎自用、狂妄自大，因而被革除王位、剥去尊荣。 21 他从人群中被赶走，他的心变成兽心，他与野驴同住，像牛一样吃草，被天上的露水浸湿，直到他知道至高的上帝主宰世上万国，祂要把国赐给谁就赐给谁。

22 “伯沙撒啊，你是他的后裔，你虽然知道这一切事，仍不谦卑， 23 竟在天上的主面前自大，命人拿来祂殿里的器皿，供你和大臣、王后、妃嫔用来饮酒，并颂赞不能看、不能听、一无所知、用金、银、铜、铁、木、石所造的神明，却不尊崇赐你生命气息、掌管你一举一动的上帝。

24 “因此，上帝使指头出现，写下这些字， 25 就是‘弥尼，弥尼，提客勒，乌法珥新’。 26 这些字的意思是这样，弥尼——指上帝已经数算你国度的年日，使之到此为止； 27 提客勒——指你已经被放在秤上称了，发现分量不够； 28 乌法珥新[a]——指你的国要分裂，归给玛代人和波斯人。”

29 于是，伯沙撒下令给但以理穿上紫袍，戴上金项链，又宣告他在国中位居第三。 30 当夜，迦勒底王伯沙撒被杀。 31 玛代人大流士六十二岁时夺取了王权。

A inscrição na parede

5 Muitos anos depois, o rei Belsazar deu um grande banquete para mil de seus nobres e bebeu vinho com eles. 2 Enquanto Belsazar tomava vinho, ordenou que trouxessem as taças de ouro e prata que seu antecessor,[a] Nabucodonosor, havia tirado do templo em Jerusalém. Queria beber nessas taças com seus nobres, suas esposas e suas concubinas. 3 Então trouxeram as taças de ouro do templo, a casa de Deus em Jerusalém, e o rei e seus nobres, suas esposas e concubinas beberam nelas. 4 Enquanto tomavam o vinho, louvavam seus ídolos feitos de ouro, prata, bronze, ferro, madeira e pedra.

5 De repente, viram dedos de mão humana escreverem no reboco da parede do palácio real, perto do candelabro. O próprio rei viu a mão enquanto ela escrevia, 6 e seu rosto ficou pálido de medo. Seus joelhos batiam um contra o outro, e suas pernas vacilavam.

7 Aos gritos, o rei mandou chamar os encantadores, os astrólogos[b] e os adivinhos. Disse aos sábios da Babilônia: “Quem conseguir ler esta inscrição e me disser o que ela significa será vestido com um manto vermelho, e em seu pescoço será colocada uma corrente de ouro. Ele se tornará o terceiro em importância em meu reino!”.

8 Quando todos os sábios do rei chegaram, nenhum deles foi capaz de ler a inscrição nem de dizer o que ela significava. 9 O rei ficou muito assustado, e seu rosto, ainda mais pálido. Seus nobres também ficaram abalados.

10 A rainha-mãe soube do que estava acontecendo ao rei e seus nobres e foi depressa à sala de banquetes. Disse ela a Belsazar: “Que o rei viva para sempre! Não fique tão pálido e assustado. 11 Há em seu reino um homem que tem nele o espírito dos santos deuses. Durante o reinado de Nabucodonosor, esse homem demonstrou percepção, entendimento e sabedoria como a dos deuses. Seu antecessor, o rei Nabucodonosor, o nomeou chefe de todos os magos, encantadores, astrólogos e adivinhos da Babilônia. 12 Esse homem, Daniel, a quem o rei deu o nome de Beltessazar, tem inteligência extraordinária e é cheio de conhecimento e entendimento. É capaz de interpretar sonhos, explicar enigmas e resolver problemas difíceis. Mande chamar Daniel, e ele lhe dirá o que significa a inscrição”.

Daniel interpreta a inscrição

13 Daniel foi levado à presença do rei, que lhe perguntou: “Você é Daniel, um dos exilados trazidos de Judá por meu antecessor, o rei Nabucodonosor? 14 Soube que o espírito dos deuses está em você, e que é cheio de percepção, entendimento e sabedoria. 15 Meus sábios e encantadores tentaram ler as palavras na parede e me dizer o que significam, mas não conseguiram. 16 Soube que você é capaz de interpretar e resolver problemas difíceis. Se conseguir ler as palavras e disser o que significam, será vestido com um manto vermelho, e em seu pescoço será colocada uma corrente de ouro. Você se tornará o terceiro em importância em meu reino”.

17 Daniel respondeu ao rei: “Guarde seus presentes ou entregue-os a outra pessoa; mas eu lhe direi o que significa a inscrição. 18 Ó rei, o Deus Altíssimo deu soberania, majestade, glória e honra a seu antecessor, Nabucodonosor. 19 Ele o engrandeceu de tal modo que povos de todas as raças, nações e línguas estremeciam de medo diante dele. Matava quem ele queria matar e poupava quem ele queria poupar; honrava quem ele queria honrar e humilhava quem ele queria humilhar. 20 Quando, porém, seu coração e sua mente se encheram de arrogância, ele foi tirado de seu trono e despojado de sua glória. 21 Foi expulso do convívio humano. Sua mente se tornou como a de um animal, e ele viveu entre os jumentos selvagens. Passou a comer capim, como os bois, e foi molhado pelo orvalho do céu, até entender que o Deus Altíssimo domina sobre todos os reinos do mundo e nomeia quem ele quer para governar sobre eles.

22 “Ó Belsazar, o senhor é sucessor[c] dele e sabia de tudo isso, mas mesmo assim não se humilhou. 23 Desafiou o Senhor dos céus e mandou trazer essas taças do templo. O rei, seus nobres, suas esposas e suas concubinas beberam vinho dessas taças enquanto louvavam deuses de prata, ouro, bronze, ferro, madeira e pedra, deuses que não veem, não ouvem, nem sabem coisa alguma. Mas o rei não honrou ao Deus que lhe dá fôlego de vida e controla seu destino. 24 Por isso Deus enviou a mão que escreveu a mensagem.

25 “Esta é a mensagem que foi escrita: Mene, Mene, Tequel e Parsim. 26 E este é o significado das palavras:

Mene:[d] Deus contou os dias de seu reinado e determinou seu fim.

27 Tequel:[e] Você foi pesado na balança e não atingiu o peso necessário.

28 Parsim:[f] Seu reino será dividido e entregue aos medos e aos persas”.

29 Então, por ordem de Belsazar, vestiram Daniel com um manto vermelho, colocaram em seu pescoço uma corrente de ouro e o declararam o terceiro em importância no reino.

30 Naquela mesma noite, Belsazar, rei da Babilônia,[g] foi morto.[h]

31 [i]E Dario, o medo, tinha 62 anos quando se apoderou do reino.

Belshazzar’s Feast

5 Belshazzar the king (A)made a great feast for a thousand of his lords, and drank wine in the presence of the thousand. 2 While he tasted the wine, Belshazzar gave the command to bring the gold and silver vessels (B)which his [a]father Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple which had been in Jerusalem, that the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines might drink from them. 3 Then they brought the gold (C)vessels that had been taken from the temple of the house of God which had been in Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines drank from them. 4 They drank wine, (D)and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze and iron, wood and stone.

5 (E)In the same hour the fingers of a man’s hand appeared and wrote opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace; and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. 6 Then the king’s countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his hips were loosened and his (F)knees knocked against each other. 7 (G)The king cried [b]aloud to bring in (H)the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spoke, saying to the wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing, and tells me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around his neck; (I)and he shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.” 8 Now all the king’s wise men came, (J)but they could not read the writing, or make known to the king its interpretation. 9 Then King Belshazzar was greatly (K)troubled, his countenance was changed, and his lords were [c]astonished.

10 The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came to the banquet hall. The queen spoke, saying, “O king, live forever! Do not let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your countenance change. 11 (L)There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the Spirit of the Holy God. And in the days of your [d]father, light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him; and King Nebuchadnezzar your [e]father—your father the king—made him chief of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers. 12 Inasmuch as an excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting dreams, solving riddles, and [f]explaining enigmas were found in this Daniel, (M)whom the king named Belteshazzar, now let Daniel be called, and he will give the interpretation.”

The Writing on the Wall Explained

13 Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king spoke, and said to Daniel, “Are you that Daniel [g]who is one of the captives from Judah, whom my [h]father the king brought from Judah? 14 I have heard of you, that (N)the [i]Spirit of God is in you, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you. 15 Now (O)the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing and make known to me its interpretation, but they could not give the interpretation of the thing. 16 And I have heard of you, that you can give interpretations and [j]explain enigmas. (P)Now if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”

17 Then Daniel answered, and said before the king, “Let your gifts be for yourself, and give your rewards to another; yet I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation. 18 O king, (Q)the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your [k]father a kingdom and majesty, glory and honor. 19 And because of the majesty that He gave him, (R)all peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. Whomever he wished, he (S)executed; whomever he wished, he kept alive; whomever he wished, he set up; and whomever he wished, he put down. 20 (T)But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him. 21 Then he was (U)driven from the sons of men, his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. They fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, (V)till he [l]knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and appoints over it whomever He chooses.

22 “But you his son, Belshazzar, (W)have not humbled your heart, although you knew all this. 23 (X)And you have [m]lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven. They have brought the (Y)vessels of [n]His house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, (Z)which do not see or hear or know; and the God who holds your breath in His hand (AA)and owns all your ways, you have not glorified. 24 Then the [o]fingers of the hand were sent from Him, and this writing was written.

25 “And this is the inscription that was written:

[p]MENE, MENE, [q]TEKEL, [r]UPHARSIN.

26 This is the interpretation of each word. MENE: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it; 27 TEKEL: (AB)You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting; 28 PERES: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the (AC)Medes and (AD)Persians.”[s] 29 Then Belshazzar gave the command, and they clothed Daniel with purple and put a chain of gold around his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him (AE)that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

Belshazzar’s Fall

30 (AF)That very night Belshazzar, king of the Chaldeans, was slain. 31 (AG)And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.

The Writing on the Wall

5 King Belshazzar(A) gave a great banquet(B) for a thousand of his nobles(C) and drank wine with them. 2 While Belshazzar was drinking(D) his wine, he gave orders to bring in the gold and silver goblets(E) that Nebuchadnezzar his father[a] had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, so that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines(F) might drink from them.(G) 3 So they brought in the gold goblets that had been taken from the temple of God in Jerusalem, and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines drank from them. 4 As they drank the wine, they praised the gods(H) of gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone.(I)

5 Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it wrote. 6 His face turned pale(J) and he was so frightened(K) that his legs became weak(L) and his knees were knocking.(M)

7 The king summoned the enchanters,(N) astrologers[b](O) and diviners.(P) Then he said to these wise(Q) men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing and tells me what it means will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around his neck,(R) and he will be made the third(S) highest ruler in the kingdom.”(T)

8 Then all the king’s wise men(U) came in, but they could not read the writing or tell the king what it meant.(V) 9 So King Belshazzar became even more terrified(W) and his face grew more pale. His nobles were baffled.

10 The queen,[c] hearing the voices of the king and his nobles, came into the banquet hall. “May the king live forever!”(X) she said. “Don’t be alarmed! Don’t look so pale! 11 There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods(Y) in him. In the time of your father he was found to have insight and intelligence and wisdom(Z) like that of the gods.(AA) Your father, King Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers and diviners.(AB) 12 He did this because Daniel, whom the king called Belteshazzar,(AC) was found to have a keen mind and knowledge and understanding, and also the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles(AD) and solve difficult problems.(AE) Call for Daniel, and he will tell you what the writing means.(AF)”

13 So Daniel was brought before the king, and the king said to him, “Are you Daniel, one of the exiles my father the king brought from Judah?(AG) 14 I have heard that the spirit of the gods(AH) is in you and that you have insight, intelligence and outstanding wisdom.(AI) 15 The wise men and enchanters were brought before me to read this writing and tell me what it means, but they could not explain it.(AJ) 16 Now I have heard that you are able to give interpretations and to solve difficult problems.(AK) If you can read this writing and tell me what it means, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around your neck,(AL) and you will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.”(AM)

17 Then Daniel answered the king, “You may keep your gifts for yourself and give your rewards to someone else.(AN) Nevertheless, I will read the writing for the king and tell him what it means.

18 “Your Majesty, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar(AO) sovereignty and greatness and glory and splendor.(AP) 19 Because of the high position he gave him, all the nations and peoples of every language dreaded and feared him. Those the king wanted to put to death, he put to death;(AQ) those he wanted to spare, he spared; those he wanted to promote, he promoted; and those he wanted to humble, he humbled.(AR) 20 But when his heart became arrogant and hardened with pride,(AS) he was deposed from his royal throne(AT) and stripped(AU) of his glory.(AV) 21 He was driven away from people and given the mind of an animal; he lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like the ox; and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he acknowledged that the Most High God is sovereign(AW) over all kingdoms on earth and sets over them anyone he wishes.(AX)

22 “But you, Belshazzar, his son,[d] have not humbled(AY) yourself, though you knew all this. 23 Instead, you have set yourself up against(AZ) the Lord of heaven. You had the goblets from his temple brought to you, and you and your nobles, your wives(BA) and your concubines drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand.(BB) But you did not honor the God who holds in his hand your life(BC) and all your ways.(BD) 24 Therefore he sent the hand that wrote the inscription.

25 “This is the inscription that was written:

mene, mene, tekel, parsin

26 “Here is what these words mean:

Mene[e]: God has numbered the days(BE) of your reign and brought it to an end.(BF)

27 Tekel[f]: You have been weighed on the scales(BG) and found wanting.(BH)

28 Peres[g]: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes(BI) and Persians.”(BJ)

29 Then at Belshazzar’s command, Daniel was clothed in purple, a gold chain was placed around his neck,(BK) and he was proclaimed the third highest ruler in the kingdom.(BL)

30 That very night Belshazzar,(BM) king(BN) of the Babylonians,[h] was slain,(BO) 31 and Darius(BP) the Mede(BQ) took over the kingdom, at the age of sixty-two.[i]
