Wen all dose smart guys from Babylon come, he tell um: “Whoeva read dis writing an tell me wat dis mean, I goin put purple kine king kine clotheses dat cost plenny on top him, an one gold chain aroun his neck. He goin come da numba three leada fo da Babylon peopo.”
8 Den all da king smart guys come inside look, but dey no can read da writing o tell da king wat stay mean. 9 Az why King Belshazzar come even mo sked, an his eyes come mo big. Da alii guys no can figga um too.
10 Da king muddah hear da noise from da king an da alii guys. She go inside da place wea dey get da party. She tell, “King Belshazzar, I like you stay alive foeva! No worry! No need yoa eye come big! 11 Get one guy inside dis land dat get da spirit from da good an spesho gods inside him. Wen yoa faddah stay king, peopo find out dat dis guy can see stuff fo real kine, an undastan plenny, an know wat fo do erytime, jalike da gods. King Nebukadnezzar, yoa faddah, make dat guy da main leada fo da kahuna guys dat know how fo tell wat dreams mean. He lead da odda kahuna guys too, da ones dat know how fo stop da bad kine stuff dat happen wen somebody put kahuna on top you. An he lead da kahuna guys dat know how fo tell stuff from da stars, an da kahuna guys dat look at da animal guts wen dey kill um fo make sacrifice, fo dem find out wass goin happen bumbye. 12 Dis guy Daniel, dat yoa faddah give da name Belteshazzar. Da peopo find out dat he get real strong powa fo figga out stuff. He undastan any kine stuff. He can figga out wat dreams mean an ansa hard kine question, an figga out hard kine stuff.

18 “King Belshazzar, lissen up! Da God Dass Mo Importan Den All Da Odda Gods, he wen make yoa faddah Nebukadnezzar come king. He make him come mo importan, an make peopo get respeck fo him, an make him awesome. 19 Cuz God make him mo importan, all da diffren peopos from ery country an ery language come real sked a him. Wen da king like somebody fo mahke, he kill um. Wen he like keep somebody alive, he keep um alive. Wen he like make somebody come mo importan, he make um mo importan. Wen he like make somebody come not importan, he make dem come not importan.
20 “But den, King Nebukadnezzar start fo get big head, an inside, he come hard head an tink he can make how he like. Az why God throw him out fo be da king, an da peopo no show respeck fo him no moa. 21 Da peopo no let him stay wit dem no moa. He get da head fo tink jalike one animal. He live wit da wild donkeys, an eat grass jalike da cows. His body come wet wit da dew from da sky. Afta dat, he find out dat da God Dass Mo Importan Den All Da Odda Gods get da powa fo stay in charge a all da peopo dat come king inside da world, an he make whoeva he like come king.
22 “King Belshazzar, you come from Nebukadnezzar, so I know you know all dis. But you, you neva even tink dat get somebody mo importan den you. 23 You go ack jalike you mo importan den da God dat stay king inside da sky. You wen tell yoa guys fo go bring da fancy kine cups an bowls from da Temple fo dat God. Den you, yoa alii guys, yoa real wifes, an yoa odda wifes drink wine from um. An you talk good bout da silva, gold, bronze, iron, wood, an stone gods—no matta dey no can see, hear, o undastan notting. But you neva tell notting bout how awesome da God dat get da powa fo make you stay alive o fo kill you! He da One stay in charge a eryting you do! 24 Az why he sen da hand wit da fingas dat write on top da wall.
