Daniel 5:1 (NIV) New International Version

1 King Belshazzar gave a great banquet for a thousand of his nobles and drank wine with them.
2 While Belshazzar was drinking his wine, he gave orders to bring in the gold and silver goblets that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, so that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines might drink from them.
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 of gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone.
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 and he was so frightened that his knees knocked together and his legs gave way.
7 The king called out for the enchanters, astrologers and diviners to be brought and said to these wise 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, and he will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom."
8 Then all the king's wise men came in, but they could not read the writing or tell the king what it meant.
9 So King Belshazzar became even more terrified and his face grew more pale. His nobles were baffled.
10 The queen, hearing the voices of the king and his nobles, came into the banquet hall. "O king, live for ever!" 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 in him. In the time of your father he was found to have insight and intelligence and wisdom like that of the gods. King Nebuchadnezzar your father--your father the king, I say-- appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers and diviners.
12 This man Daniel, whom the king called Belteshazzar, was found to have a keen mind and knowledge and understanding, and also the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles and solve difficult problems. Call for Daniel, and he will tell you what the writing means."
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?
14 I have heard that the spirit of the gods is in you and that you have insight, intelligence and outstanding wisdom.
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.
16 Now I have heard that you are able to give interpretations and to solve difficult problems. 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, and you will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom."
17 Then Daniel answered the king, "You may keep your gifts for yourself and give your rewards to someone else. Nevertheless, I will read the writing for the king and tell him what it means.
18 "O king, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar sovereignty and greatness and glory and splendour.
19 Because of the high position he gave him, all the peoples and nations and men of every language dreaded and feared him. Those the king wanted to put to death, he put to death; those he wanted to spare, he spared; those he wanted to promote, he promoted; and those he wanted to humble, he humbled.
20 But when his heart became arrogant and hardened with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and stripped of his glory.
21 He was driven away from people and given the mind of an animal; he lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like cattle; and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he acknowledged that the Most High God is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and sets over them anyone he wishes.
22 "But you his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled yourself, though you knew all this.
23 Instead, you have set yourself up against the Lord of heaven. You had the goblets from his temple brought to you, and you and your nobles, your wives 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. But you did not honour the God who holds in his hand your life and all your ways.
24 Therefore he sent the hand that wrote the inscription.
25 "This is the inscription that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN
26 "This is what these words mean: Mene: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.
27 Tekel: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.
28 Peres: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians."
29 Then at Belshazzar's command, Daniel was clothed in purple, a gold chain was placed around his neck, and he was proclaimed the third highest ruler in the kingdom.
30 That very night Belshazzar, king of the Babylonians, was slain,
31 and Darius the Mede took over the kingdom, at the age of sixty-two.
1 Belshazzar H1113 the king H4430 made H5648 a great H7229 feast H3900 to a thousand H506 of his lords H7261 , and drank H8355 wine H2562 before H6903 the thousand H506 .
2 Belshazzar H1113 , while he tasted H2942 the wine H2562 , commanded H560 to bring H858 the golden H1722 and silver H3702 vessels H3984 which H1768 his father H2 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 had taken out H5312 of H4481 the temple H1965 which H1768 was in Jerusalem H3390 ; that the king H4430 , and his princes H7261 , his wives H7695 , and his concubines H3904 , might drink H8355 therein .
3 Then H116 they brought H858 the golden H1722 vessels H3984 that H1768 were taken out H5312 of H4481 the temple H1965 of H1768 the house H1005 of God H426 which H1768 was at Jerusalem H3390 ; and the king H4430 , and his princes H7261 , his wives H7695 , and his concubines H3904 , drank H8355 in them .
4 They drank H8355 wine H2562 , and praised H7624 the gods H426 of gold H1722 , and of silver H3702 , of brass H5174 , of iron H6523 , of wood H636 , and of stone H69 .
5 In the same hour H8160 came forth H5312 fingers H677 of H1768 a man H606 \'s hand H3028 , and wrote H3790 over against H6903 the candlestick H5043 upon H5922 the plaster H1528 of H1768 the wall H3797 of H1768 the king H4430 \'s palace H1965 : and the king H4430 saw H2370 the part H6447 of the hand H3028 that H1768 wrote H3790 .
6 Then H116 the king H4430 \'s countenance H2122 was changed H8133 , and his thoughts H7476 troubled H927 him , so that the joints H7001 of his loins H2783 were loosed H8271 , and his knees H755 smote H5368 one H1668 against another H1668 .
7 The king H4430 cried H7123 aloud H2429 to bring in H5924 the astrologers H826 , the Chaldeans H3779 , and the soothsayers H1505 . And the king H4430 spoke H6032 , and said H560 to the wise H2445 men of Babylon H895 , Whosoever H3606 shall read H7123 this H1836 writing H3792 , and show H2324 me the interpretation H6591 thereof , shall be clothed H3848 with scarlet H711 , and have a chain H2002 of H1768 gold H1722 about H5922 his neck H6676 , and shall be the third ruler H7981 in the kingdom H4437 .
8 Then H116 came in H5954 all H3606 the king H4430 \'s wise H2445 men : but they could H3546 not H3809 read H7123 the writing H3792 , nor make known H3046 to the king H4430 the interpretation H6591 thereof .
9 Then H116 was king H4430 Belshazzar H1113 greatly H7690 troubled H927 , and his countenance H2122 was changed H8133 in H5922 him , and his lords H7261 were astonished H7672 .
10 Now the queen H4433 , by reason of H6903 the words H4406 of the king H4430 and his lords H7261 , came H5954 into the banquet H4961 house H1005 : and the queen H4433 spoke H6032 and said H560 , O king H4430 , live H2418 forever H5957 : let not H409 thy thoughts H7476 trouble H927 thee , nor H409 let thy countenance H2122 be changed H8133 :
11 There is H383 a man H1400 in thy kingdom H4437 , in whom H1768 is the spirit H7308 of the holy H6922 gods H426 ; and in the days H3118 of thy father H2 light H5094 and understanding H7924 and wisdom H2452 , like the wisdom H2452 of the gods H426 , was found H7912 in him ; whom the king H4430 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 thy father H2 , the king H4430 , I say , thy father H2 , made H6966 master H7229 of the magicians H2749 , astrologers H826 , Chaldeans H3779 , and soothsayers H1505 ;
12 Forasmuch as an excellent H3493 spirit H7308 , and knowledge H4486 , and understanding H7924 , interpreting H6591 of dreams H2493 , and showing H263 of hard sentences H280 , and dissolving H8271 of doubts H7001 , were found H7912 in the same Daniel H1841 , whom H1768 the king H4430 named H7761 Belteshazzar H1096 : now H3705 let Daniel H1841 be called H7123 , and he will show H2324 the interpretation H6591 .
13 Then H116 was Daniel H1841 brought in H5954 before H6925 the king H4430 . And the king H4430 spoke H6032 and said H560 unto Daniel H1841 , Art thou H607 that H1932 Daniel H1841 , which H1768 art of H4481 the children H1123 of the captivity H1547 of H1768 Judah H3061 , whom H1768 the king H4430 my father H2 brought out H858 of H4481 Jewry H3061 ?
14 I have even heard H8086 of H5922 thee , that H1768 the spirit H7308 of the gods H426 is in thee , and that light H5094 and understanding H7924 and excellent H3493 wisdom H2452 is found H7912 in thee .
15 And now H3705 the wise H2445 men , the astrologers H826 , have been brought in H5954 before H6925 me , that H1768 they should read H7123 this H1836 writing H3792 , and make known H3046 unto me the interpretation H6591 thereof : but they could H3546 not H3809 show H2324 the interpretation H6591 of the thing H4406 :
16 And I H576 have heard H8086 of H5922 thee , that H1768 thou canst H3202 make H6590 interpretations H6591 , and dissolve H8271 doubts H7001 : now H3705 if H2006 thou canst H3202 read H7123 the writing H3792 , and make known H3046 to me the interpretation H6591 thereof , thou shalt be clothed H3848 with scarlet H711 , and have a chain H2002 of H1768 gold H1722 about H5922 thy neck H6676 , and shalt be the third ruler H7981 in the kingdom H4437 .
17 Then H116 Daniel H1841 answered H6032 and said H560 before H6925 the king H4430 , Let thy gifts H4978 be H1934 to thyself , and give H3052 thy rewards H5023 to another H321 ; yet H1297 I will read H7123 the writing H3792 unto the king H4430 , and make known H3046 to him the interpretation H6591 .
18 O thou H607 king H4430 , the most high H5943 God H426 gave H3052 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 thy father H2 a kingdom H4437 , and majesty H7238 , and glory H3367 , and honor H1923 :
19 And for H4481 the majesty H7238 that H1768 he gave H3052 him , all H3606 people H5972 , nations H524 , and languages H3961 , trembled H1934 and feared H1763 before H4481 him : whom H1768 he would he slew H1934 ; and whom H1768 he would he kept alive H1934 ; and whom H1768 he would he set up H1934 ; and whom H1768 he would he put down H1934 .
20 But when H1768 his heart H3825 was lifted up H7313 , and his mind H7308 hardened H8631 in pride H2103 , he was deposed H5182 from H4481 his kingly H4437 throne H3764 , and they took H5709 his glory H3367 from H4481 him :
21 And he was driven H2957 from H4481 the sons H1123 of men H606 ; and his heart H3825 was made H7739 like H5974 the beasts H2423 , and his dwelling H4070 was with H5974 the wild asses H6167 : they fed H2939 him with grass H6211 like oxen H8450 , and his body H1655 was wet H6647 with the dew H4481 of heaven H8065 ; till H5705 he knew H3046 that H1768 the most high H5943 God H426 ruled H7990 in the kingdom H4437 of men H606 , and that he appointeth H6966 over H5922 it whomsoever H4479 he will H6634 .
22 And thou H607 his son H1247 , O Belshazzar H1113 , hast not H3809 humbled H8214 thine heart H3825 , though H3606 thou knewest H3046 all H3606 this H1836 ;
23 But hast lifted up thyself H7313 against H5922 the Lord H4756 of heaven H8065 ; and they have brought H858 the vessels H3984 of H1768 his house H1005 before H6925 thee , and thou H607 , and thy lords H7261 , thy wives H7695 , and thy concubines H3904 , have drunk H8355 wine H2562 in them ; and thou hast praised H7624 the gods H426 of silver H3702 , and gold H1722 , of brass H5174 , iron H6523 , wood H636 , and stone H69 , which H1768 see H2370 not H3809 , nor H3809 hear H8086 , nor H3809 know H3046 : and the God H426 in whose H1768 hand H3028 thy breath H5396 is , and whose are all H3606 thy ways H735 , hast thou not H3809 glorified H1922 :
24 Then H116 was the part H6447 of H1768 the hand H3028 sent H7972 from him ; and this H1836 writing H3792 was written H7560 .
25 And this H1836 is the writing H3792 that H1768 was written H7560 , MENE H4484 , MENE H4484 , TEKEL H8625 , UPHARSIN H6537 .
26 This H1836 is the interpretation H6591 of the thing H4406 : MENE H4484 ; God H426 hath numbered H4483 thy kingdom H4437 , and finished H8000 it .
27 TEKEL H8625 ; Thou art weighed H8625 in the balances H3977 , and art found H7912 wanting H2627 .
28 PERES H6537 ; Thy kingdom H4437 is divided H6537 , and given H3052 to the Medes H4076 and Persians H6540 .
29 Then H116 commanded H560 Belshazzar H1113 , and they clothed H3848 Daniel H1841 with scarlet H711 , and put a chain H2002 of H1768 gold H1722 about H5922 his neck H6676 , and made a proclamation H3745 concerning H5922 him , that H1768 he should be H1934 the third H8531 ruler H7990 in the kingdom H4437 .
30 In that night H3916 was Belshazzar H1113 the king H4430 of the Chaldeans H3779 slain H6992 .
31 And Darius H1868 the Median H4077 took H6902 the kingdom H4437 , being about threescore H8361 and two H8648 years H8140 old H1247 .
