Daniel 5:15 in Context — Daniel 5
13 Alors Daniel fut introduit devant le roi. Le roi prit la parole et dit à Daniel: Es-tu ce Daniel, l’un des captifs de Juda, que le roi, mon père, a amenés de Juda?
14 J’ai appris sur ton compte que tu as en toi l’esprit des dieux, et qu’on trouve chez toi des lumières, de l’intelligence, et une sagesse extraordinaire.
15 On vient d’amener devant moi les sages et les astrologues, afin qu’ils lussent cette écriture et m’en donnassent l’explication; mais ils n’ont pas pu donner l’explication des mots.
16 J’ai appris que tu peux donner des explications et résoudre des questions difficiles; maintenant, si tu peux lire cette écriture et m’en donner l’explication, tu seras revêtu de pourpre, tu porteras un collier d’or à ton cou, et tu auras la troisième place dans le gouvernement du royaume.
17 Daniel répondit en présence du roi: Garde tes dons, et accorde à un autre tes présents; je lirai néanmoins l’écriture au roi, et je lui en donnerai l’explication.
