Daniel, 5

1. King Belshazzar gave a great banquet for his noblemen, a thousand of them, and, in the presence of this thousand, he drank his wine.

1. King Belshaz'zar made a great feast for a thousand of his lords, and drank wine in front of the thousand.

2. Having tasted the wine, Belshazzar gave orders for the gold and silver vessels to be brought which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the sanctuary in Jerusalem, so that the king, his noblemen, his wives and the women who sang for him could drink out of them.

2. Belshaz'zar, when he tasted the wine, commanded that the vessels of gold and of silver which Nebuchadnez'zar his father had taken out of the temple in Jerusalem be brought, that the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines might drink from them.

3. The gold and silver vessels taken from the sanctuary of the Temple of God in Jerusalem were brought in, and the king, his noblemen, his wives and the women who sang for him drank out of them.

3. Then they brought in the golden and silver vessels which had been taken out of the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines drank from them.

4. They drank their wine and praised their idols of gold and silver, of bronze and iron, of wood and stone.

4. They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.

5. Suddenly, the fingers of a human hand appeared and began to write on the plaster of the palace wall, directly behind the lamp-stand; and the king could see the hand as it wrote.

5. Immediately the fingers of a man's hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace, opposite the lampstand; and the king saw the hand as it wrote.

6. The king turned pale with alarm: his hip-joints went slack and his knees began to knock.

6. Then the king's color changed, and his thoughts alarmed him; his limbs gave way, and his knees knocked together.

7. He shouted for his soothsayers, Chaldaeans, and exorcists. And the king said to the Babylonian sages, 'Anyone who can read this writing and tell me what it means shall be dressed in purple, and have a chain of gold put round his neck, and be one of the three men who govern the kingdom.'

7. The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chalde'ans, and the astrologers. The king said to the wise men of Babylon, "Whoever reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom."

8. The king's sages all crowded forward, but they could neither read the writing nor explain to the king what it meant.

8. Then all the king's wise men came in, but they could not read the writing or make known to the king the interpretation.

9. Greatly alarmed, King Belshazzar turned even paler, and his noblemen were equally disturbed.

9. Then King Belshaz'zar was greatly alarmed, and his color changed; and his lords were perplexed.

10. Then the queen, attracted by the noise made by the king and his noblemen, came into the banqueting hall. 'May Your Majesty live for ever!' said the queen. 'Do not be alarmed, do not look so pale.

10. The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banqueting hall; and the queen said, "O king, live for ever! Let not your thoughts alarm you or your color change.

11. In your kingdom there is a man in whom lives the spirit of the holy gods. In your father's days he was known for a perception, intelligence and wisdom comparable to that of the gods. King Nebuchadnezzar, your father, made him head of the magicians, soothsayers, Chaldaeans and exorcists.

11. There is in your kingdom a man in whom is the spirit of the holy gods. In the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him, and King Nebuchadnez'zar, your father, made him chief of the magicians, enchanters, Chalde'ans, and astrologers,

12. Since this man Daniel, whom the king had renamed Belteshazzar, is filled with such a marvellous spirit and such knowledge and intelligence in interpreting dreams, solving enigmas and unravelling difficult problems, send for him; he will be able to tell you what this means.'

12. because an excellent spirit, knowledge, and understanding to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshaz'zar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation."

13. Daniel was brought into the king's presence; the king said to Daniel, 'Are you the Daniel who was one of the Judaean exiles brought by my father the king from Judah?

13. Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king said to Daniel, "You are that Daniel, one of the exiles of Judah, whom the king my father brought from Judah.

14. I am told that the spirit of the gods lives in you, and that you are known for your perception, intelligence and marvellous wisdom.

14. I have heard of you that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you.

15. The sages and soothsayers have already been brought to me to read this writing and tell me what it means, but they have been unable to reveal its meaning.

15. Now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me to read this writing and make known to me its interpretation; but they could not show the interpretation of the matter.

16. I am told that you are able to give interpretations and to unravel difficult problems, so if you can read the writing and tell me what it means, you shall be dressed in purple, and have a chain of gold put round your neck, and be one of the three men who govern the kingdom.'

16. But I have heard that you can give interpretations and solve problems. Now if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.

17. Then Daniel spoke up in the presence of the king. 'Keep your gifts for yourself,' he said, 'and give your rewards to others! I can certainly read the writing to the king and tell him what it means.

17. Then Daniel answered before the king, "Let your gifts be for yourself, and give your rewards to another; nevertheless I will read the writing to the king and make known to him the interpretation.

18. Your Majesty, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father sovereignty, greatness, majesty and glory.

18. O king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnez'zar your father kingship and greatness and glory and majesty;

19. He made him so great that all peoples, nations and languages shook with dread before him: he killed whom he pleased, spared whom he pleased, promoted whom he pleased, degraded whom he pleased.

19. and because of 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; whom he would he raised up, and whom he would he put down.

20. But because his heart grew swollen with pride, and his spirit stiff with arrogance, he was deposed from his sovereign throne and stripped of his glory.

20. But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him;

21. He was driven from human society, his heart was more like an animal's than a man's; he lived with the wild donkeys; he fed on grass like oxen; his body was drenched by the dew of heaven, until he had learnt that the Most High rules over human sovereignty and appoints whom he pleases to rule it.

21. he was driven from among men, and his mind was made like that of a beast, and his dwelling was with the wild asses; he was fed grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, until he knew that the Most High God rules the kingdom of men, and sets over it whom he will.

22. But you, Belshazzar, who are his son, you have not humbled your heart, in spite of knowing all this.

22. And you his son, Belshaz'zar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,

23. You have defied the Lord of heaven, you have had the vessels from his Temple brought to you, and you, your noblemen, your wives and the women singing for you have drunk your wine out of them. You have praised gods of gold and silver, of bronze and iron, of wood and stone, which can neither see, hear nor understand; but you have given no glory to the God in whose hands are your breath itself and all your fortunes.

23. but you have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and the vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, but the God in whose hand is your breath, and whose are all your ways, you have not honored.

24. That is why he has sent the hand which has written these words.

24. "Then from his presence the hand was sent, and this writing was inscribed.

25. The writing reads: mene, mene, teqel and parsin.

25. And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, and PARSIN.

26. The meaning of the words is this: mene: God has measured your sovereignty and put an end to it;

26. This is the interpretation of the matter: MENE, God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end;

27. teqel: you have been weighed in the balance and found wanting;

27. TEKEL, you have been weighed in the balances and found wanting;

28. parsin: your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and the Persians.'

28. PERES, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians."

29. At Belshazzar's order Daniel was dressed in purple, a chain of gold was put round his neck and he was proclaimed as one of the three men who governed the kingdom.

29. Then Belshaz'zar commanded, and Daniel was clothed with purple, a chain of gold was put about his neck, and proclamation was made concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

30. That same night, the Chaldaean king Belshazzar was murdered,

30. That very night Belshaz'zar the Chalde'an king was slain.

31.

31. And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.

5:1-4 - Belsazárnak, Babilon királyának lakomája az Isten előtti büszkeséget és tiszteletlenséget tükrözi. A jeruzsálemi templom szent edényeinek használatával kihívja Isten szentségét, ami isteni beavatkozást vált ki (lásd még Ézsaiás 47:10-11 és Jeremiás 51:57).

5:5-9 - A rejtélyes kézírás megjelenése a falon a közelgő ítélet jele. Az, hogy a babiloni bölcsek képtelenek értelmezni az írást, rávilágít az emberi korlátokra Isten hatalmával szemben (lásd még Zsoltárok 33:10-11 és 1Korinthus 1:27).

5:10-12 - A királynő megemlíti Dánielt, kiemelve bölcsességét és tapasztalatát az álmok és jelek értelmezésében. Dániel Isten jelenlétét és bölcsességét képviseli egy romlott nemzedék közepén (lásd még Ezékiel 14:14 és Lukács 21:15).

5:13-29 - Az írás értelmezése feltárja Isten ítéletét Belsazár felett és uralkodásának végét. A babiloni birodalom véget ér a király büszkesége és bálványimádása miatt (lásd még Példabeszédek 16:18 és Jakab 4:6).

5:30-31 - Belsazárt megölik, a babiloni birodalom pedig a médek és perzsák kezére kerül. A büszke birodalom vége figyelmeztetés Isten szuverenitására és igazságosságára a gonoszok megdöntésében (lásd még Dániel 2:21 és Ésaiás 40:23-24).

Dániel 5. fejezete elmeséli Belsazár lakomáját és a falra írt írást. Hogyan ítéli meg Isten a szentség megszentségtelenítését? A szöveg leírja a király gonosz ünnepét, az írás rejtélyes megjelenését és Dániel értelmezését, amely Babilon bukását vetíti előre. Ez a drámai fejezet az arroganciáról és a trágárságról szóló isteni ítéletet hangsúlyozza. Az elbeszélés bemutatja Isten szentségével való szembeszegülés következményeit. Gondolkozz el velünk öt bibliai részleten, amelyek megvilágítják ennek az erőteljes fejezetnek az ünnepélyes témáit.

Példabeszédek 14:34: "Az igazságosság felmagasztal egy nemzetet, de a bűn minden nép szégyene." - Ez a közmondás Isten ítéletét tükrözi Belsazáron és királyságában gonoszságuk miatt.

Galata 6:7: "Ne tévesszen meg: Istent nem csúfolják. Mert amit az ember elvet, azt is aratja." - Ezt az elvet élénken szemlélteti Belsazár bukása, miután megszentségtelenítette a templom szent használati tárgyait.

Jelenések 19:16: "Köntösére és combjára ez a név van írva: KIRÁLYOK KIRÁLYA ÉS URAK URA." - Krisztusnak ez a leírása a Belsazár palotájának falán lévő feliratot idézi, amely a földi hatalmak feletti isteni ítéletet mutatja be.

1Sámuel 2:30: "Ezért az Úr, Izrael Istene kijelenti: 'Megígértem, hogy a te házad tagjai mindörökké szolgálni fognak engem.' De most az Úr kijelenti: „Távol legyen tőlem! Tisztelem azokat, akik tisztelnek engem, de akik megvetnek engem, azokat megvetéssel kezelik." - Ez a vers azt az elvet tükrözi, amelyet Belsazár bukása során mutattak be: Isten tiszteli azokat, akik tisztelik őt, de ítéli azokat, akik megvetik őt.

ApCsel 12:21-23: "A kitűzött napon Heródes királyi ruhájába öltözve ült a trónon, és beszédet mondott a néphez. És azt kiáltották: "Isten hangja ez, nem emberé!" Azonnal megütötte őt az Úr angyala, mert nem adott dicsőséget Istennek; és meghalt, megették a férgek." - Ez az Újszövetség részlete párhuzamot mutat Belsazár ítéletével, bemutatva, hogyan ítéli meg Isten azokat, akik felmagasztalják magukat, és nem adják meg neki a megérdemelt dicsőséget.

FAQ:

Mi történt Belsazár lakomáján?

Mit jelentett a falra írt üzenet Belsazárnak?

A „Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin” üzenet azt jelentette, hogy Isten megszámlálta Belsazár birodalmának napjait, mérlegelte és hiányosnak találta, és birodalma kettészakad. (Dániel 5:25-28)

Hogyan értelmezte Dániel a falon lévő írást?

Dániel úgy értelmezte, hogy Belsazár királysága pusztulásra van ítélve arroganciája és a szent edények megszentségtelenítése miatt, és hogy a birodalmat a médek és a perzsák fogják átvenni. (Dániel 5:29-31)

Mi volt Belsazár sorsa Dániel értelmezése után?

Belsazárt még aznap éjjel megölték, a babiloni birodalmat pedig a médek és a perzsák meghódították, ahogyan megjövendölték. (Dániel 5:30-31)

Mit tanulhatunk Belsazár bukásából?

Belsazár bukása azt tanítja, hogy a szentek büszkesége és megszentségtelenítése olyan magatartás, amely nem tetszik Istennek, és pusztuláshoz vezet. (Dániel 5:22-31)
