5：3于是他们把耶路撒冷神殿库房中所掠的金器皿拿来，王和大臣，皇后，妃嫔就用这器皿饮酒。
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。
5：4他们饮酒，赞美金，银，铜，铁，木，石所造的神。
They drank wine； and praised the gods of gold； and of silver； of brass； of iron； of wood； and of stone。
5：5当时，忽有人的指头显出，在王宫与灯台相对的粉墙上写字。王看见写字的指头，
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。
5：6就变了脸色，心意惊惶，腰骨好像脱节，双膝彼此相碰，
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。
5：7大声吩咐将用法术的和迦勒底人并观兆的领进来，对巴比伦的哲士说，谁能读这文字，把讲解告诉我，他必身穿紫袍，项带金链，在我国中位列第三。
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。
5：8于是王的一切哲士都进来，却不能读那文字，也不能把讲解告诉王。
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。
5：9伯沙撒王就甚惊惶，脸色改变，他的大臣也都惊奇。
Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled； and his countenance was changed in him； and his lords were astonied。
5：10太后（或作皇后下同）因王和他大臣所说的话，就进入宴宫，说，愿王万岁。你心意不要惊惶，脸面不要变色。
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：
5：11在你国中有一人，他里头有圣神的灵，你父在世的日子，这人心中光明，又有聪明智慧，好像神的智慧。你父尼布甲尼撒王，就是王的父，立他为术士，用法术的，和迦勒底人，并观兆的领袖。
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；
5：12在他里头有美好的灵性，又有知识聪明，能圆梦，释谜语，解疑惑。这人名叫但以理，尼布甲尼撒王又称他为伯提沙撒，现在可以召他来，他必解明这意思。
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。
5：13但以理就被领到王前。王问但以理说，你是被掳之犹大人中的但以理吗。就是我父王从犹大掳来的吗。
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？
5：14我听说你里头有神的灵，心中光明，又有聪明和美好的智慧。
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。
5：15现在哲士和用法术的都领到我面前，为叫他们读这文字，把讲解告诉我，无奈他们都不能把讲解说出来。
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：
5：16我听说你善于讲解，能解疑惑。现在你若能读这文字，把讲解告诉我，就必身穿紫袍，项戴金链，在我国中位列第三。
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。
5：17但以理在王面前回答说，你的赠品可以归你自己，你的赏赐可以归给别人。我却要为王读这文字，把讲解告诉王。
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。
5：18王阿，至高的神曾将国位，大权，荣耀，威严赐与你父尼布甲尼撒。
O thou king； the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom； and majesty； and glory； and honour：
5：19因神所赐他的大权，各方，各国，各族的人都在他面前山兢恐惧。他可以随意生杀，随意升降。
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。
5：20但他心高气傲，灵也刚愎，甚至行事狂傲，就被革去王位，夺去荣耀。
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：
5：21他被赶出离开世人，他的心变如兽心，与野驴同居，吃草如牛，身被天露滴湿，等他知道至高的神在人的国中掌权，凭自己的意旨立人治国。
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。
5：22伯沙撒阿，你是他的儿子（或作孙子），你虽知道这一切，你心仍不自卑，
And thou his son； O Belshazzar； hast not humbled thine heart； though thou knewest all this；
5：23竟向天上的主自高，使人将他殿中的器皿拿到你面前，你和大臣，皇后，妃嫔用这器皿饮酒。你又赞美那不能看，不能听，无知无识，金，银，铜，铁，木，石所造的神，却没有将荣耀归于那手中有你气息，管理你一切行动的神。
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：
5：24因此从神那里显出指头来写这文字。
Then was the part of the hand sent from him； and this writing was written。
5：25所写的文字是，弥尼，弥尼，提客勒，乌法珥新。
And this is the writing that was written； MENE； MENE； TEKEL； UPHARSIN。
5：26讲解是这样，弥尼，就是神已经数算你国的年日到此完毕。
This is the interpretation of the thing： MENE； God hath numbered thy kingdom； and finished it。
5：27提客勒，就是你被称在天平里，显出你的亏欠。
TEKEL； Thou art weighed in the balances； and art found wanting。
5：28毗勒斯（与乌法珥新同义），就是你的国分裂，归与玛代人和波斯人。
PERES； Thy kingdom is divided； and given to the Medes and Persians。
5：29伯沙撒下令，人就把紫袍给但以理穿上，把金链给他戴在颈项上，又传令使他在国中位列第三。
Then manded 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。
5：30当夜，迦勒底王伯沙撒被杀。
In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain。
5：31玛代人大流士年六十二岁，取了迦勒底国。
And Darius the Median took the kingdom； being about threescore and two years old。
旧约 但以理书（Daniel） 第 6 章 （ 本篇共有 12 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
6：1大流士随心所愿，立一百二十个总督，治理通国。
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes； which should be over the whole kingdom；
6：2又在他们以上立总长三人（但以理在其中），使总督在他们三人面前回覆事务，免得王受亏损。
And over these three presidents； of whom Daniel was first： that the princes might give accounts unto them； and the king should have no damage。
6：3因这但以理有美好的灵性，所以显然超乎其馀的总长和总督，王又想立他治理通国。
Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes； because an excellent spirit was in him； and the king thought to set him over the whole realm。
6：4那时，总长和总督寻梢但以理误国的把柄，为要叁他。只是找不着他的错误过失，因他忠心办事，毫无错误过失。
Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom； but they could find none occasion nor fault； forasmuch as he was faithful； neither was there any error or fault found in him。
6：5那些人便说，我们要找叁这但以理的把柄，除非在他神的律法中就寻不着。
Then said these men； We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel； except we find it against him concerning the law of his God。
6：6于是，总长和总督纷纷聚集来见王，说，愿大流士王万岁。
Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king； and said thus unto him； King Darius； live for ever。
6：7国中的总长，钦差，总督，谋士，和巡抚彼此商议，要立一条坚定的禁令（或作求王下旨要立一条云云），三十日内，不拘何人，若在王以外，或向神或向人求什么，就必扔在狮子坑中。
All the presidents of the kingdom； the governors； and the princes； the counsellors； and the captains； have consulted together t
