【释义】:
称起来不够重;(喻)理亏
And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE, God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balance, and art found wanting.
Dan. 5:25-27
所写的文字是:弥尼,弥尼,提客勒,乌法珥新。
讲解是这样:弥尼,就是神已经数算你国的年月到此完毕;
提客勒,就是你被秤在天平里,显出你的亏欠。
