Dan 5, 1-31

1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand. 2 Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein. 3 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. 4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. 5 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. 6 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. 7 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. 8 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. 9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied. 10 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: 11 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; 12 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. 13 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? 14 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. 15 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: 16 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. 17 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. 18 O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour: 19 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. 20 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: 21 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. 22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this; 23 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: 24 Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written. 25 And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. 26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. 27 TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. 28 PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. 29 Then commanded 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. 30 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. 31 And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.

Dan 5, 1-31





Verš 11
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;
Dan 2:47 - The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.

Verš 21
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.
Dan 4:25 - That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

Dan 5,1 - O Nabuchodonozorových nástupcoch pozri úvod k nášmu prorokovi. – Vieme, že nástupcom Nabuchodonozorovým nebol Baltazár (Baltassar), ba história ani nespomína, žeby Nabuchodonozor bol mal syna menom Baltazár. Okrem toho starí dejepisci ako posledného kráľa Babylonu spomínajú Nabonída. Uvedená okolnosť pôsobila výkladu tejto state (porov. tiež 7,1 a 8,1) značné ťažkosti. Dnes je však už známa ďalšia skutočnosť. Z klinopisných pamiatok tých čias je už zistené, že posledný babylonský kráľ Naboníd mal syna, následníka trónu, ktorý sa volal Baltazár. V prvom roku svojho panovania (550 pr. Kr.), keď Naboníd odchádzal na vojenskú výpravu proti mestu Tema, dal svojmu následníkovi kráľovskú moc a poveril ho správou Babylonu. Skutočným výkonným kráľom v Babylone bol teda Baltazár, ktorý zahynul pri páde Babylonu. – Meno Baltazára nie je totožné s babylonským menom Daniela (pozri 1,7). V babylonskej pôvodine majú obe tieto mená iné znenie a iný význam.

Dan 5,2 - U Babyloncov mali ženy veľkú voľnosť. Zachovali sa nám staré asýrske vyobrazenia, na ktorých kráľ a kráľovná s pohármi v ruke ležia pri stole na vyvýšenom mieste. – O nádobách z jeruzalemského chrámu pozri 1,2; porov. 2 Kr 24,13; 2 Krn 36,7.10.

Dan 5,7 - O Chaldejcoch pozri pozn. k 2,2. – Naboníd bol prvý, Baltazár druhý, preto sa rozluštiteľovi písma sľubuje až tretia hodnosť. Ale namiesto: "ako tretí" je azda lepšie prekladať: "ako knieža".

Dan 5,16 - Pozri pozn. k veršu 7.

Dan 5,20 - Pozri 4,19–23.29–30.

Dan 5,25-28 - Na stene sa vlastne zjavili názvy troch babylonských mincí: 1. Mene, v našej výslovnosti Mína; 2. Tekel je aramejský názov v Biblii často spomínaného šekla. 3. Peres je polovica míny, parsín je množný počet. Mína, veľký peniaz (982 g), zvýrazňovala Nabuchodonozorovo kráľovstvo. Šekel, šesťdesiata čiastka míny, označovala biedne kráľovstvo Baltazára, po ktorom príde kráľovstvo zložené z dvoch častí, teda dve polmíny: kráľovstvo Médov a Peržanov. Daniel však podchytáva aj kmene slov, z ktorých tie názvy mincí pochádzajú, a podáva výklad, aký je v osnove. Mena znamená "zrátal", tekal znamená "odvážil" a peras znamená "rozdelil". Pritom sa v poslednom názve (Peres) ozýva už aj názov nového kráľovstva (Perzie).

Dan 5,30 - Doteraz nájdené nápisové pamiatky nehovoria o Baltazárovej smrti pri páde Babylonu. Ale Xenofón (Kyropaideia VII, 5) píše, že sa Kýrov vojvodca Gobryáš (nápisy ho volajú Guburu alebo Ungbaru) dostal do Babylonu tajne v noci, došiel až ku kráľovskému palácu, kde Babylonci práve hodovali. Vznikla zrážka, v ktorej zabili babylonského kráľa. Meno kráľa síce Xenofón nespomína, ale nemohol to byť iný, len Baltazár, lebo jeho otec Naboníd bol vtedy už vo vyhnanstve v Karmanii, kde ho poslal Kýros. Aj Herodot píše (I,191), že Médi a Peržania vnikli do Babylonu tajne v noci a prekvapili práve hodujúcich Babyloncov.
