Daniel 5 - Bíblia Online

O rei Belsazar deu um grande banquete a mil dos seus grandes, e bebeu vinho na presença desses mil. 
Belsazar, enquanto tomava o vinho, mandou que fossem trazidos os vasos de ouro e de prata, que seu pai Nabucodonozor havia tirado do templo que estava em Jerusalém; para que bebessem por eles o rei e seus grandes, suas mulheres e suas concubinas. 
Então trouxeram os vasos de ouro que haviam sido tirados do templo da casa de Deus, que estava em Jerusalém, e por eles beberam o rei e seus grandes, suas mulheres e suas concubinas. 
Bebiam vinho, e louvavam os deuses de ouro e de prata, de cobre, de ferro, de pau e de pedra. 
Na mesma hora saíram os dedos de mão de homem, e escreveram defronte do candeeiro na caiadura da parede do palácio real. O rei via a parte da mão que escrevia. 
Então o semblante do rei se mudou, e os seus pensamentos o perturbaram; as juntas dos seus lombos se relaxaram, e os seus joelhos batiam um no outro. 
O rei chamou em alta voz, que se introduzissem os encantadores, os caldeus e os feiticeiros. Falou o rei e disse aos sábios de Babilônia: Qualquer que ler esta escritura, e me mostrar a sua interpretação, será vestido de púrpura, trará uma cadeia de ouro ao pescoço, e terá o terceiro lugar de poder no reino. 
Então entraram todos os sábios do rei; porém não puderam ler a escritura, nem fazer saber ao rei a interpretação. 
Nisto ficou o rei Belsazar muito perturbado, e se lhe mudou o semblante, e os seus grandes estavam perplexos. 
Ora a rainha por causa das palavras do rei e dos seus grandes, entrou na casa de banquete; falou a rainha e disse: Ó rei, vive eternamente: não te perturbem os teus pensamentos, nem se mude o teu semblante. 
No teu reino há um homem que tem em si o espírito dos deuses santos, e nos dias de teu pai se acharam nele luz e entendimento e sabedoria, como a sabedoria dos deuses; o rei Nabucodonozor, teu pai, o rei, digo, teu pai, fê-lo chefe dos mágicos, dos encantadores, dos caldeus e dos feiticeiros; 
por quanto um espírito excelente, e conhecimento, e inteligência, interpretação de sonhos, declaração de enigmas, e solução de dúvidas, se acharam em Daniel, a quem o rei pôs o nome de Beltessazar. Seja chamado, pois, Daniel, e ele mostrará a interpretação. 
Então foi Daniel introduzido à presença do rei. Falou o rei e disse a Daniel: És tu aquele Daniel, um dos filhos do cativeiro de Judá, que o rei meu pai trouxe de Judá? 
Tenho ouvido a teu respeito que há em ti o espírito dos deuses, e que se acham em ti luz e inteligência e excelente sabedoria. 
Agora mesmo foram introduzidos à minha presença os sábios, os encantadores, para que lessem esta escritura, e me fizessem saber a interpretação dela; porém não me puderam mostrar a interpretação da coisa. 
Mas tenho ouvido a teu respeito que tu podes dar interpretações, e solver dúvidas. Se, pois, puderes ler a escritura e me fazer saber a interpretação dela, serás vestido de púrpura, trarás uma cadeia de ouro ao pescoço, e terás o terceiro lugar de poder no reino. 
Então respondeu Daniel e disse na presença do rei: Sejam para ti as tuas dádivas, e dá a outrem os teus prêmios; contudo eu lerei ao rei a escritura, e lhe farei saber a interpretação. 
O Altíssimo Deus, ó rei, deu a teu pai Nabucodonozor o reino e grandeza, e glória, e majestade; 
e por causa da grandeza que lhe deu, todos os povos, nações e línguas tremiam e temiam diante dele: a quem queria, matava; e a quem ele queria, conservava em vida; a quem queria, exaltava; e a quem queria, abatia. 
Quando, porém, o seu coração se elevou, e o seu espírito se endureceu, de sorte que se houve arrogantemente, foi ele deposto do seu trono real, e tiraram-lhe a sua glória; 
e foi expulso dentre os filhos dos homens, o seu coração foi feito como o dos animais, e a sua morada era com os jumentos monteses; foi sustentado de feno como boi, e o seu corpo foi molhado do orvalho do céu, até que conheceu que o altíssimo Deus domina no reino dos homens, e a quem quiser constitui sobre ele. 
Tu, Belsazar, que és seu filho, não humilhaste o teu coração, embora soubesses tudo isso; 
porém te elevaste contra o Senhor do céu. Trouxeram perante ti os vasos da casa dele, e por eles bebestes vinho, tu e teus grandes, tuas mulheres e tuas concubinas; e louvaste os deuses de prata e de ouro, de cobre, de ferro, de pau e de pedra, que não vêem, nem ouvem, nem sabem; e ao Deus, em cuja mão está o teu fôlego, e de quem são todos os teus caminhos, a ele não glorificaste. 
Então foi a parte da mão enviada de diante dele, e foi inscrita esta escritura. 
Esta é a escritura que foi inscrita: MENE, MENE, TEQUEL, PARSIM. 
Esta é a sua interpretação. MENE: Deus contou o teu reino, e o acabou. 
TEQUEL: pesado na balança, e achado em falta. 
PERES: está dividido o teu reino, e entregue aos medos e aos persas. 
Então Belsazar deu as suas ordens: vestiram de púrpura a Daniel, e puseram-lhe ao pescoço uma cadeia de ouro, e fez-se uma proclamação a respeito dele, que tivesse o terceiro lugar de poder no reino. 
Naquela noite foi morto Belsazar, rei caldeu. 
Dario o medo recebeu o reino, tendo mais ou menos sessenta e dois anos de idade. 

Belshazzar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his lords, drinking wine before the thousand. 
Belshazzar, while he was overcome with wine, gave orders for them to put before him the gold and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar, his father, had taken from the Temple in Jerusalem; so that the king and his lords, his wives and his other women, might take their drink from them. 
Then they took in the gold and silver vessels which had been in the Temple of the house of God at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his other women, took wine from them. 
They took their wine and gave praise to the gods of gold and silver, of brass and iron and wood and stone. 
In that very hour the fingers of a man's hand were seen, writing opposite the support for the light on the white wall of the king's house, and the king saw the part of the hand which was writing. 
Then the colour went from the king's face, and he was troubled by his thoughts; strength went from his body, and his knees were shaking. 
The king, crying out with a loud voice, said that the users of secret arts, the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs, were to be sent for. The king made answer and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever is able to make out this writing, and make clear to me the sense of it, will be clothed in purple and have a chain of gold round his neck, and will be a ruler of high authority in the kingdom. 
Then all the king's wise men came in: but they were not able to make out the writing or give the sense of it to the king. 
Then King Belshazzar was greatly troubled and the colour went from his face, and his lords were at a loss. 
The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came into the house of the feast: the queen made answer and said, O King, have life for ever; do not be troubled by your thoughts or let the colour go from your face: 
There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father, light and reason like the wisdom of the gods were seen in him: and King Nebuchadnezzar, your father, made him master of the wonder-workers, and the users of secret arts, and the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs; 
Because a most special spirit, and knowledge and reason and the power of reading dreams and unfolding dark sayings and answering hard questions, were seen to be in him, even in Daniel (named Belteshazzar by the king): now let Daniel be sent for, and he will make clear the sense of the writing. 
Then they took Daniel in before the king; the king made answer and said to Daniel, So you are that Daniel, of the prisoners of Judah, whom my father took out of Judah. 
And I have had news of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light and reason and special wisdom have been seen in you. 
And now the wise men, the users of secret arts, have been sent in before me for the purpose of reading this writing and making clear to me the sense of it: but they are not able to make clear the sense of the thing: 
And I have had news of you, that you have the power of making things clear, and of answering hard questions: now if you are able to make out the writing and give me the sense of it, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain round your neck and be a ruler of high authority in the kingdom. 
Then Daniel made answer and said to the king, Keep your offerings for yourself, and give your rewards to another; but I, after reading the writing to the king, will give him the sense of it. 
As for you, O King, the Most High God gave to Nebuchadnezzar, your father, the kingdom and great power and glory and honour: 
And because of the great power he gave him, all peoples and nations and languages were shaking in fear before him: some he put to death and others he kept living, at his pleasure, lifting up some and putting others down as it pleased him. 
But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit became hard with pride, he was put down from his place as king, and they took his glory from him: 
And he was sent out from among the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts', and he was living with the asses of the fields; he had grass for his food like the oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till he was certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives power over it to anyone at his pleasure. 
And you, his son, O Belshazzar, have not kept your heart free from pride, though you had knowledge of all this; 
But you have been lifting yourself up against the Lord of heaven, and they have put the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your women, have taken wine in them; and you have given praise to gods of silver and gold, of brass and iron and wood and stone, who are without the power of seeing or hearing, and without knowledge: and to the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways, you have not given glory; 
Then the part of the hand was sent out from before him, and this writing was recorded. 
And this is the writing which was recorded, Mene, tekel, peres. 
This is the sense of the words: Mene; your kingdom has been numbered by God and ended. 
Tekel; you have been put in the scales and seen to be under weight. 
Peres; your kingdom has been cut up and given to the Medes and Persians. 
Then, by the order of Belshazzar, they put a purple robe on Daniel, and a gold chain round his neck, and a public statement was made that he was to be a ruler of high authority in the kingdom. 
That very night Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldaeans, was put to death.
