| 5:1 | Bαλτασὰρ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐποίησεν δεῖπνον μέγα τοῖς μεγιστᾶσιν αὐτοῦ χιλίοις, καὶ κατέναντι τῶν χιλίων ὁ οἶνος. |
| 5:2 | καὶ πίνων (2)Βαλτασὰρ εἶπεν ἐν τῇ γεύσει τοῦ οἴνου αὐτοῦ ἐνεγκεῖν τὰ σκεύη τὰ χρυσᾶ καὶ τὰ ἀργυρᾶ ἃ ἐξήνεγκεν Ναβουχοδονοσὸρ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ τοῦ ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ πιέτωσαν ἐν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ μεγιστᾶνες αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ παλλακαὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ παράκοιτοι αὐτοῦ. |
| 5:3 | καὶ ἠνέχθησαν τὰ σκεύη τὰ χρυσᾶ καὶ τὰ ἀργυρᾶ ἄ ἐξήνεγκεν ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἔπινον ἐν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἵ μεγιστᾶνες αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ παλλακαὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ παράκοιτοι αὐτοῦ· |
| 5:4 | ἔπινον οἶνον, καὶ ᾔνεσαν τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς χρυσοῦς καὶ ἀργυροῦς καὶ χαλκοῦς καὶ σιδηροῦς καὶ ξυλίνους καὶ λιθίνους. |
| 5:5 | ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἐξῆλθον δάκτυλοι χειρὸς ἀνθρώπου καὶ ἔγραφον κατέναντι τῆς λαμπάδος ἐπὶ τὸ κονίαμα τοῦ τοίχου καὶ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐθεώρει τοὺς ἀστραγάλους τῆς χειρὸς τῆς γραφούσης. |
| 5:6 | τότε τοῦ βασιλέως ἡ μορφὴ ἠλλοιώθη, καὶ οἱ διαλογισμοὶ αὐτοῦ συνετάρασσον αὐτόν, καὶ οἱ σύνδεσμοι τῆς ὀσφύος αὐτοῦ διελύοντο, καὶ τὰ γόνατα αὐτοῦ συνεκροτοῦντο. |
| 5:7 | καὶ ἐβόησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν ἰσχύι τοῦ εἰσαγαγεῖν μάγους, Χαλδαίους, γαζαρηνούς, καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς σοφοῖς Βαβυλῶνος Ὃς ἂν ἀναγνῷ τὴν γραφὴν ταύτην καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν γναορίσῃ μοι, πορφύραν ἐνδύσεται, καὶ ὁ μανιάκης ὁ χρυσοῦς ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ, καὶ τρίτος ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ μου ἄρξει. |
| 5:8 | καὶ εἰσεπορεύοντο πάντες οἱ σοφοὶ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ οὐκ ἡδύναντο τὴν γραφὴν ἀναγνῶναι οὐδὲ τὴν σύγκρίσιν γνωρίσαι τῷ βασιλεῖ |
| 5:9 | καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Βαλτασὰρ ἐταράχθη, καὶ ἡ μορφὴ αὐτοῦ ἠλλοιώθη ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ οἱ μεγιστᾶνες αὐτοῦ συνεταράσσοντο. |
| 5:10 | καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἡ βασίλισσα εἰς τὸν οἰκον τοῦ πότου καὶ εἶπεν Βασιλεῦ, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ζῆθι· μὴ ταρασσέτωσάν σε οἱ διαλογισμοί σου, καὶ ἡ μορφὴ σου μὴ ἀλλοιούσθω. |
| 5:11 | ἔστιν ἀνὴρ ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ σου ἐν ᾧ πνεῦμα θεοῦ, καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τοῦ πατρός σου γρηγόρησις καὶ σύνεσις εὑρέθη ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ναβουχοδονοσὸρ ὁ πατήρ σου ἄρχοντα ἐπαοιδῶν, μάγων, Χαλδαίων, γαζαρηνῶν, κατέστησεν αὐτόν, |
| 5:12 | ὅτι πνεῦμα περισσὸν ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ φρόνησις καὶ σύνεσις· συνκρίνων ἐνύπνια καὶ ἀναγγέλλων κρατούμενα καὶ λύων συνδέσμους Δανιὴλ, καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπέθηκεν αὐτῷ ὄνομα Βαλτασάρ· νῦν οὗν κληθήτω, καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν αὐτοῦ ἀναγγελεῖ σοι. |
| 5:13 | Τότε Δανιὴλ εἰσήχθη ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Δανιὴλ Σὺ εἶ Δανιὴλ ὁ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας τῆς Ἰουδαίας ἧς ἤγαγεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ὁ πατὴρ μου; |
| 5:14 | ἤκουσα περὶ σοῦ ὅτι πνεῦμα θεοῦ ἐν σοί, καὶ γρηγόρησις καὶ σοφία περισσὴ εὑρέθη ἐν σοί |
| 5:15 | καὶ νῦν εἰσῆλθον ἐνώπιόν μου οἱ σοφοί, μάγοι, γαζαρηνοί, ἵνα τὴν γραφὴν ταύτην ἀναγνῶσιν καὶ τὴν συγκρισιν αὐτῆς γνωρίσωσίν μοι, καὶ οὐκ ἡδύνῃ. θησαν ἀναγγεῖλαί μοι. |
| 5:16 | καὶ ἐγὼ ἤκουσα περὶ σοῦ ὅτι δύνασαι κρίματα συνκρῖναι· νῦν οὗν ἐὰν δυνηθῇς τὴν γραφὴν ἀναγνῶναι καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν αὐτῆς γναωρίσῃς μοι, πορφύραν ἐνδύσῃ, καὶ ὁ μανιάκης ὁ χρυσοῦς ἔσται ἐπὶ τῷ τραχήλῳ σου, καὶ τρίτος ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ μου ἄρξεις. |
| 5:17 | καὶ εἶπεν Δανιὴλ ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως Τὰ δόματά σού σοι ἔστω, καὶ τὴν δωρεὰν τῆς οἰκίας σου ἑτέρῳ δός· ἐγὼ δὲ τὴν γραφὴν ἀναγνώσομαι καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν αὐτῆς γναωρίσω σοι. |
| 5:18 | βασιλεῦ, ὁ θεὸς ὁ ὕψιστος τὴν βασιλείαν καὶ τὴν μεγαλωσύνην καὶ τὴν τιμὴν καὶ τὴν δόξαν ἔδωκεν Ναββουχοδονοσὸρ τῷ πατρί σου, |
| 5:19 | καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς μεγαλωσύνης ἧς ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ πάντες οἱ λαοί, φυλαί, γλῶσσαι, ἦσαν τρέμοντες καὶ φοβούμενοι ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ· οὓς ἠβούλετο αὐτὸς ἀνήρει, καὶ οὓς ἠβούλετο αὐτὸς ἔτυπτεν, καὶ οὓς ἠβούλετο αὐτὸς ὑψοῖ, καὶ οὓς ἠβούλετο αὐτὸς ἔταπείνου. |
| 5:20 | καὶ ὅτε ὑψώθη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ πνείμα αὐτοῦ ἐκραταιώθη τοῦ ὑπερηφανεύσασθαι, κατηνέχθη ἀπὸ τοῦ θρόνου τῆς βασιλείας καὶ ἡ τιμὴ ἀφῃρέθη ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ, |
| 5:21 | καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐξεδιώχθη, καὶ ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν θηρίων ἐδόθη, καὶ μετὰ ὀνάγρων ἡ κατοικία αὐτοῦ, καὶ χόρτον ὡς βοῦν ἐψώμιζον αὐτόν, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς δρόσου τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ ἐβάφη, ἕως οὗ γνῷ ὅτι κυριεύει ὁ θεὸς ὁ ὕψιστος τῆς βασιλείας τῶν ἀνθρώπαων, καὶ ᾧ ἂν δόξῃ δώσει αὐτήν. |
| 5:22 | καὶ σὺ οὖν ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ Βαλτασὰρ οὐκ ἐταπείνωσας τὴν καρδίαν σου κατενώπιον τοῦ θκοῦ · οὐ πάντα ταῦτα ἔγνως· |
| 5:23 | καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν κύριον θεὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ὑψώθης, καὶ τὰ σκεύη τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ ἤνεγκας ἐνώπιόν σου, καὶ σὺ καὶ οἱ μεγιστᾶνές σου καὶ αἱ παλλακαί σου καὶ αἵ παράκοιτοί σου οἶνον ἐπίνετε ἐν αὐτοῖς· καὶ τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς χρυσοῦς καὶ ἀργυροῦς καὶ χαλκοῦς καὶ σιδηροῦς καὶ ξυλίνους καὶ λιθίνους, οἱ οὐ βλέπουσιν καὶ οἱ οὐκ ἀκούουσιν καὶ οὐ γινώσκουσιν, ᾔνεσας, καὶ τὸν θεὸν οὖ ἡ πνοή σου ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ ὁδοί σου, αὐτὸν οὐκ ἐδόξασας. |
| 5:24 | διὰ τοῦτο ἐκ προσώπου αὐτοῦ ἀπεστάλη ἀστράγαλος χερὸς καὶ τὴν γραφὴν ταύτην ἐνέταξεν. |
| 5:25 | καὶ αὕτη ἡ γραφὴ ἡ ἐντεταγμένη Μανή, θεκέλ, φαρές. |
| 5:26 | τοῦτο τὸ σύγκριμα τοῦ ῥήματος· μανή, ἐμέτρησεν ὁ θεὸς τὴν βασιλείαν σου καὶ ἐπλήρωσεν αὐτήν· |
| 5:27 | θεκέλ, ἐστάθη ἐν ζυγῷ καὶ εὑρέθη ὑστεροῦσα· |
| 5:28 | φαρές. διήρηται ἡ βασιλεία σου καὶ ἐδόθη Μήδοις καὶ Πέρσαις. |
| 5:29 | καὶ εἶ. πεν Βαλτασάρ, καὶ ἐνέδυσαν τὸν Δανιὴλ πορφύραν, καὶ τὸν μανιάκην τὸν χρυσοῦν περιέθηκαν περὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκήρυξεν περὶ αὐτοῦ εἶναι αὐτὸν ἄρχοντα τρίτον ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ. |
| 5:30 | ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ νυκτὶ ἀναιρέθη Βαλτασὰρ ὁ βασιλεὺς ὁ Χαλδαίων, |
| 5:31 | καὶ Δαρεῖος ὁ Μῆδος παρέλαβεν τὴν βασιλείαν, ὢν ἐτῶν ἑξήκοντα δύο. |

What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
