1Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his nobles, and drank wine before the thousand.
1 Bonkoono Belsazzar na burnye bambata te nga faadancey se, ngey boro zambar fo. A na duvan* haŋ mo zambar fa din jine.
2Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, might drink in them.
2 Saaya kaŋ Belsazzar na duvaŋo taba, kal a lordi ka ne i ma kande wura nda nzarfu jinayey kaŋ a kaayo Nebukadnezzar kande ka fun Irikoy fuwo kaŋ go Urusalima ra, zama bonkoono da nga koy kayney da bonkoono wandey d'a wahayey, i ma haŋ jinayey din ra.
3Then 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 nobles, his wives and his concubines, drank in them.
3 Saaya din i kande wura jinayey kaŋ i ku Irikoy fuwo kaŋ go Urusalima ra. Bonkoono nda nga wandey mo d'a wahayey d'a koy kayney haŋ i ra.
4They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
4 I na duvan haŋ. I na wura da nzarfu da guuru-say da guuru-bi da tuuri da tondi toorey mo sifa.
5In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
5 Saaya din binde boro kambayze yaŋ fatta ka hantumyaŋ te fitilla tanjay bonkoono faada fuwo botoga gaa. Bonkoono go ga di mo kambe jara kaŋ go ga hantumo te.
6Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
6 Saaya din bonkoono moyduma yalo bare a ra, a fonguyaŋey mo n'a taabandi, a canta biriyey mo taŋ, a kangey mo soobay ka kar care gaa ngey boŋ se.
7The king cried aloud to bring in the magicians, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
7 Kala bonkoono na jinde sambu ka ne i ma kande handariya ceecikoy da Kaldancey da gunakoy. Bonkoono salaŋ ka ne Babila laakalkooney se: «Boro kaŋ na hantumo wo me-a-me caw, k'a feerijo bangandi ay se mo, i ga suniya faka a gaa, i ma wura sisiri sarku a jinde gaa, a ga te mayko hinzante koytara ra.»
8Then came in all the king's wise men, but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation.
8 Saaya din kala bonkoono laakalkooney kulu furo faada ra, amma i si hin ka hantumo caw, wala k'a feerijo bangandi bonkoono se.
9Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his nobles were confounded.
9 Saaya din bonkoono Belsazzar kankam gumo, a moyduma alhaalo mo bare koyne, hal a koy kayney mo boŋ haw.
10-- The queen, by reason of the words of the king and his nobles, came into the banquet-house. The queen spoke and said, O king, live for ever! let not thy thoughts trouble thee, neither let thy countenance be changed.
10 Amma bonkoono nda nga koy kayney sanney sabbay se, kala koy zeeno fo wande kaa bato fuwo ra. Waybora salaŋ ka ne: «Ya Bonkoono, ni aloomaro ma tonton! Ni fonguyaŋey ma si ni kankam wala ni moyduma alhaalo ma si bare.
11There 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; and the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, [even] the king thy father, made him master of the scribes, magicians, Chaldeans, [and] astrologers;
11 Boro fo go no ni mayray laabo ra, kaŋ koy hanney biya go a ra. Ni kaayo jirbey ra a na kaari nda fahamay da laakal gar a ra danga de-koyey laakalo wane dumi. Bonkoono, ni kaayo Nebukadnezzar no ay goono ga ne. Bonkoono ni kaayo a n'a daŋ moodabalkoyey da handariya ceecikoy da Kaldancey nda gunakoy jine boro,
12forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and solving of problems, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.
12 za kaŋ i na biya kaŋ bisa ikulu, da bayray da fahamay da hindiri feeriji waaniyaŋ da misa bangandiyaŋ da sikka ganandiyaŋ gar Daniyel wo ra, kaŋ bonkoono n'a maa daŋ Beltesazzar. Sohõ binde, kal i ma Daniyel ce, nga wo ga feerijo cabe.»
13Then was Daniel brought in before the king. The king spoke and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
13 Saaya din i kande Daniyel bonkoono jine. Bonkoono salaŋ Daniyel se ka ne: «Nin no ga ti Daniyel din kaŋ go Yahuda tamtaray izey do haray, ngey kaŋ yaŋ ay kaayo kande ka fun Yahuda?
14And I have heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and [that] light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee.
14 Ay jin ka maa ni baaru, way, koyey biya go ni do, i ga kaari da fahamay da bayray kaŋ bisa i kulu gar ni do.
15And now the wise men, the magicians, 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.
15 Sohõ binde i kande laakalkooney nda handariya ceecikoy ay jine zama i ma hantumo wo caw ay se, i m'ay bayrandi nd'a feerijo, amma i mana hin ka haya din feerijo bangandi ay se.
16But I have heard of thee, that thou canst give interpretations, and solve problems. Now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.
16 Amma ay maa ni baaru, way, nin no ga waani feeriji nooyaŋ nda sikka ganandiyaŋ. Sohõ binde da ni ga hin ka hantumo wo caw k'ay bayrandi d'a feerijo mo, i ga suniya faka ni gaa, i ga wura sisiri daŋ ni jinda gaa, ni ga ciya mayraykoy hinzante laabo ra.»
17Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet will I read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
17 Saaya din Daniyel tu bonkoono jine ka ne: «Gaay ni nooyaŋey, ma ni alhakko mo no boro fo se. Kulu nda yaadin, ay ga hantumo caw bonkoono se, ay m'a bayrandi nd'a feerijo mo.
18O thou king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty;
18 Ya nin Bonkoono, Irikoy kaŋ ga beeri nda ikulu, a na ni kaayo Nebukadnezzar no koytaray da beeray da darza da dabari.
19and for the greatness that he gave him, all peoples, 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 exalted, and whom he would he humbled.
19 Beera kaŋ a n'a no, a se no borey da dumey da deeney kulu gaahamey jijiri, i humburu a jine. Boro kaŋ a ga ba nga ma wi, kal a m'a wi. Boro kaŋ a ga ba nga ma naŋ da fundi, kal a m'a naŋ da fundi. Boro kaŋ a ga ba nga m'a beerandi, kal a m'a beerandi. Boro kaŋ a ga ba nga m'a kaynandi mo, kal a m'a kaynandi.
20But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit hardened unto presumption, he was deposed from the throne of his kingdom, and they took his glory from him;
20 Amma saaya kaŋ a te boŋbeeri, a hanga sandi mo hal a na nga boŋ jare, saaya din Irikoy n'a tumbi nda nga koytara karga, a n'a darza ta a gaa.
21and 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 bathed with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the Most High God ruleth over the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
21 A n'a gaaray k'a kaa Adam-izey do, a n'a bina himandi almaney wane cine. A nangora mo go ganji farkayey banda, i n'a ŋwaayandi nda subu danga haw cine, a gaahamo tay da beene harandaŋ hala waato kaŋ a bay kaŋ Irikoy kaŋ ga beeri nda ikulu ga may borey mayray ra, a ga boro kaŋ nga ga ba mo sinji a boŋ.
22And thou, Belshazzar, his son, hast not humbled thy heart, although thou knewest all this;
22 Ni mo, a haama, ya Belsazzar, ni mana ni boŋ kaynandi bo, baa kaŋ ni ga woodin kulu bay.
23but hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of the heavens; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou and thy nobles, 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:
23 Amma ni na ni boŋ beerandi ka gaaba nda Irikoy kaŋ go beene. I kande a windo jinayyaŋ ni jine mo, nin da ni koy kayney da ni wandey da ni wahayey. Araŋ na duvan haŋ i ra, hala ni na nzarfu, da wura da guuru-say da guuru-bi da bundu da tondi toorey sifa, kaŋ yaŋ si di, i si maa, i si bay mo. Amma Irikoy, nga kaŋ ni fulanzama da ni fondey kulu mo go a kamba ra, ni man'a beerandi.
24then from before him was sent the part of the hand, and this writing hath been written.
24 Woodin sabbay se no Irikoy na kambe faata donton a ma hantumo wo jeeri.
25And this is the writing that is written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
25 Hantumo kaŋ i hantum neeya: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UFARSIN.
26This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE, God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it;
26 Haya feerijo mo neeya: MENE -- Irikoy na ni mayray jirbey lasaabu, a n'a ban mo.
27TEKEL, Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting;
27 TEKEL -- i na ni neesi neesiji ra, i na ni gar ni gaze.
28PERES, Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
28 PERES -- i na ni mayra fay bindi k'a no Medancey da Persancey se.»
29Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and [put] a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
29 Kala Belsazzar lordi ka ne i ma suniya faka Daniyel gaa. I na wura sisiri sarku a jinda gaa mo, i na fe te a boŋ ka ne a ga ciya mayraykoy hinzante laabo koytara ra.
30In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
30 Cino din ra no i na bonkoono Belsazzar Kaldanca wi.
31And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, [being] about sixty-two years old.
31 Medanca Dariyus mo a n'a koytara ŋwa, a gonda danga jiiri waydu cindi hinka cine.
