Daniel 5
1. Belshazzar <1113 Belsha>tstsar > the king <4430 melek > made
<5648 <abad
> a great <7227 rab > feast <3900 l@chem > to a thousand <0506
>alaph > of
his lords <7261 rabr@ban >, and drank <8355 sh@thah > wine <2562
chamar >
before <6903 q@bel > the thousand <0506 >alaph >.
2 Belshazzar <1113 Belsha>tstsar >, whiles he tasted <2942
t@<em > the wine
<2562 chamar >, commanded <0560 >amar > to bring <0858 >athah >
the golden
<1722 d@hab > and silver <3702 k@caph > vessels <3984 ma>n >
which <1768 diy
> his father <2> Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > had
taken <5312
n@phaq > out of the temple <1965 heykal > which <1768 diy >
[was] in
Jerusalem <3390 Y@ruwshalem (Chald) >; that the king <4430 melek
>, and his
princes <7261 rabr@ban >, his wives <7695 shegal >, and his
concubines <3904
l@chenah >, might drink <8355 sh@thah > therein.
3 Then <0116 >edayin > they brought <0858 >athah > the golden
<1722 d@hab >
vessels <3984 ma>n > that were taken <5312 n@phaq > out of the
temple <1965
heykal > of the house <1005 bayith > of God <0426 >elahh > which
<1768 diy >
[was] at Jerusalem <3390 Y@ruwshalem (Chald) >; and the king
<4430 melek >,
and his princes <7261 rabr@ban >, his wives <7695 shegal >, and
his
concubines <3904 l@chenah >, drank <8355 sh@thah > in them.
4 They drank <8355 sh@thah > wine <2562 chamar >, and praised
<7624 sh@bach
> the gods <0426 >elahh > of gold <1722 d@hab >, and of silver
<3702 k@caph
>, of brass <5174 n@chash >, of iron <6523 parzel >, of wood
<0636 >a< >, and
of stone <69>.
5 In the same hour <8160 sha<ah > came <5312 n@phaq > forth
<5312 n@phaq >
fingers <0677 >etsba< > of a man's <0606 >enash > hand <3028 yad
>, and wrote
<3790 k@thab > over <6903 q@bel > against <6903 q@bel > the
candlestick <5043
nebr@sha> > upon the plaister <1528 giyr > of the wall <3797
k@thal > of the
king's <4430 melek > palace <1965 heykal >: and the king <4430
melek > saw
<2370 chaza> > the part <6447 pac > of the hand <3028 yad > that
wrote <3790
k@thab >.
6 Then <0116 >edayin > the king's <4430 melek > countenance
<2122 ziyv > was
changed <8133 sh@na> >, and his thoughts <7476 ra<yown >
troubled <0927 b@hal
> him, so that the joints <7001 q@tar > of his loins <2788
charer > were
loosed <8271 sh@re> >, and his knees <0755 >arkubah > smote
<5368 n@qash >
one <1668 da> > against another <1668 da> >.
7 The king <4430 melek > cried <7123 q@ra> > aloud <2429 chayil
> to bring
<5924 <ella> > in the astrologers <0826 >ashshaph >, the
Chaldeans <3779
Kasday >, and the soothsayers <1505 g@zar >. [And] the king
<4430 melek >
spake <6032 <anah >, and said <0560 >amar > to the wise <2445
chakkiym >
[men] of Babylon <0895 Babel >, Whosoever <3605 kol > shall read
<7123 q@ra>
> this <1836 den > writing <3792 k@thab >, and shew <2324 chava>
> me the
interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof, shall be clothed <3848
l@bash > with
scarlet <0711 >arg@van >, and [have] a chain <2002 hamniyk > of
gold <1722
d@hab > about <5922 <al > his neck <6676 tsavva>r >, and shall
be the third
<8523 t@liythay > ruler <7981 sh@let > in the kingdom <4437
malkuw >.
8 Then <0116 >edayin > came <5954 <alal > in all <3606 kol >
the king's
<4430 melek > wise <2445 chakkiym > [men]: but they could <3546
k@hal > not
read <7123 q@ra> > the writing <3792 k@thab >, nor make known
<3046 y@da< >
to the king <4430 melek > the interpretation <6591 p@shar >
thereof.
9 Then <0116 >edayin > was king <4430 melek > Belshazzar <1113
Belsha>tstsar
> greatly <7690 saggiy> > troubled <0927 b@hal >, and his
countenance <2122
ziyv > was changed <8133 sh@na> > in him, and his lords <7261
rabr@ban > were
astonied <2672 chatsab >.
10. [Now] the queen <4433 malka> >, by reason <6903 q@bel > of
the words
<4406 millah > of the king <4430 melek > and his lords <7261
rabr@ban >, came
<5954 <alal > into the banquet <4961 mishteh > house <1005
bayith >: [and]
the queen <4433 malka> > spake <6032 <anah > and said <0560
>amar >, O king
<4430 melek >, live <2414 chataph > for ever <5957 <alam >: let
not thy
thoughts <7476 ra<yown > trouble <0927 b@hal > thee, nor <0408
>al > let thy
countenance <2122 ziyv > be changed <8133 sh@na> >:
11 There is a man <1400 g@bar > in thy kingdom <4437 malkuw >,
in whom <1768
diy > [is] the spirit <7308 ruwach > of the holy <6922 qaddiysh
> gods <0426
>elahh >; and in the days <3118 yowm > of thy father <2> light
<5094 n@hiyr >
and understanding <7924 sokl@thanuw > and wisdom <2452 chokmah >,
like the
wisdom <2452 chokmah > of the gods <0426 >elahh >, was found
<7912 sh@kach >
in him; whom the king <4430 melek > Nebuchadnezzar <5020
N@buwkadnetstsar >
thy father <2>, the king <4430 melek >, [I say], thy father <2>,
made master
<0729 >araz > of the magicians <2749 chartom >, astrologers
