Daniel 3
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits; he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
Ķēniņš Nebukadnecars lika taisīt tēlu no zelta; tam bija augstums sešdesmit olektis, un platums sešas olektis; to viņš uzcēla Bābeles valstī, Duras klajumā.
2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Un ķēniņš Nebukadnecars sūtīja un sapulcināja lielkungus, valdītājus, zemes soģus, tiesas kungus, uzraugus, runas kungus, tiesnešus un visus valsts valdniekus, ka tie nāktu, to tēlu iesvētīt, ko ķēniņš Nebukadnecars bija uzcēlis.
3 Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
Tad sanāca tie lielkungi, valdītāji, zemes soģi, tiesas kungi, uzraugi, runas kungi, tiesneši un visi valsts valdnieki uz šī tēla iesvētīšanu, ko ķēniņš Nebukadnecars bija uzcēlis, un tie stāvēja tā tēla priekšā, ko Nebukadnecars bija uzcēlis.
4 And the herald cried aloud: 'To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages,
Un tas izsaucējs izsauca ar stipru balsi: jums top piekodināts, jūs tautas, ļaudis un valodas,
5 that at what time ye hear the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up;
Kad jūs dzirdēsiet bazūnes skaņu un trumetes, kokles, vijoles, somastabules, jaukas dziesmas un visādus mūzikas rīkus, tad jums būs nomesties un to zelta tēlu pielūgt, ko ķēniņš Nebukadnecars uzcēlis.
6 and whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.'
Un kas nenometīsies un nepielūgs, tas tai pašā stundā taps iemests degošā ceplī.
7 Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Kad nu visi ļaudis dzirdēja bazūnes skaņu un trumetes, kokles, vijoles, somastabules un visādus mūzikas rīkus, tad visi ļaudis, tautas un valodas nometās un pielūdza to zelta tēlu, ko ķēniņš Nebukadnecars bija uzcēlis.
8 Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and brought accusation against the Jews.
Tai pašā laikā kādi Kaldeju vīri piegāja un apsūdzēja Jūdus.
9 They spoke and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king: 'O king, live for ever!
Tie iesāka un sacīja uz ķēniņu Nebukadnecaru: lai ķēniņš dzīvo mūžīgi!
10 Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image;
Tu, ķēniņ, esi pavēlējis, ka visiem cilvēkiem, kad tie dzird bazūnes skaņu un trumetes, kokles, vijoles, somastabules, jaukas dziesmas un visādus mūzikas rīkus, būs nomesties un to zelta tēlu pielūgt,
11 and whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
Un ka to, kas pie zemes nenometīsies un nepielūgs, būs iemest degošā ceplī.
12 There are certain Jews whom thou hast appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.'
Te ir Jūdu vīri, ko tu esi iecēlis par Bābeles valsts valdniekiem, Sadrahs, Mesahs un AbedNegus, šie vīri neliek vērā, ko tu, ķēniņ, esi pavēlējis, un negodā tavus dievus un nepielūdz to zelta tēlu, ko tu esi uzcēlis.
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then were these men brought before the king.
Tad Nebukadnecars ar dusmām un bardzību pavēlēja atvest Sadrahu, Mesahu un AbedNegu. Un tie vīri tapa atvesti ķēniņa priekšā.
14 Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said unto them: 'Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that ye serve not my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
Tad Nebukadnecars iesāka un uz tiem sacīja: vai jūs, Sadrah, Mesah un AbedNegu, tīši manus dievus necienījāt un to zelta tēlu nepielūdzāt, ko es esmu uzcēlis?
15 Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made, well; but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is the god that shall deliver you out of my hands?'
Nu tad, taisāties, kad jūs dzirdēsiet bazūnes skaņu un trumetes, kokles, vijoles, somastabules, jaukas dziesmas un visādus mūzikas rīkus, tad nometaties un pielūdziet to tēlu, ko es esmu taisījis, bet ja jūs to nepielūgsiet, tad jūs tai pašā stundā tapsiet iemesti degošā ceplī; jo kurš ir tas Dievs, kas jūs no manām rokām varētu izpestīt?
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king: 'O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee in this matter.
Tad Sadrahs, Mesahs un AbedNegus atbildēja un sacīja uz ķēniņu Nebukadnecaru: mums nevajag uz šo lietu atbildēt.
17 If our God whom we serve is able to deliver us, He will deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and out of thy hand, O king.
Redzi, mūsu Dievs, ko mēs godājam, gan ir varens mūs izglābt no degoša cepļa un mūs arī izpestīt no tavas rokas, ak ķēniņ.
18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.'
Un jebšu Viņš to arī nedarītu, taču tev būs zināt, ka mēs tavus dievus negribam godāt nedz pielūgt to zelta tēlu, ko tu esi taisījis.
19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar filled with fury, and the form of his visage was changed, against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; he spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
Tad Nebukadnecars apskaitās, un viņa vaiga izskats pārvērtās pret Sadrahu, Mesahu un AbedNegu, un viņš atbildēja un pavēlēja, cepli septiņkārt karstāku kurināt nekā to mēdza kurināt.
20 And he commanded certain mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
Un viņš pavēlēja tiem stiprākiem vīriem, kas bija viņa karaspēkā, siet Sadrahu, Mesahu un AbedNegu un iemest degošā ceplī.
21 Then these men were bound in their cloaks, their tunics, and their robes, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
Tā šie vīri tapa saistīti ar saviem mēteļiem, kurpēm, cepurēm un citām drēbēm un iemesti degošā ceplī.
22 Therefore because the king's commandment was peremptory, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.
Kad nu ķēniņa vārds drīz bija jāizdara un ceplis bija briesmīgi karsts, tad tās liesmas nomaitāja tos vīrus, kas Sadrahu, Mesahu un AbedNegu iemeta.
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
Bet tie trīs vīri, Sadrahs, Mesahs un AbedNegus, iekrita saistīti tai degošā ceplī.
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was alarmed, and rose up in haste; he spoke and said unto his ministers: 'Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?' They answered and said unto the king: 'True, O king.'
Tad ķēniņš Nebukadnecars iztrūcinājās un pacēlās ātri un sacīja uz saviem runas kungiem: vai mēs neesam trīs vīrus saistītus metuši ugunī? Tie atbildēja un sacīja uz ķēniņu: tā tas ir, kungs ķēniņ.
25 He answered and said: 'Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.'
Viņš atbildēja un sacīja: raugi, es redzu četrus vīrus vaļā staigājam ugunī, un tiem nekas nekaiš un tā ceturtā izskats ir kā kādam dievu dēlam.
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace; he spoke and said: 'Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of God Most High, come forth, and come hither.' Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, came forth out of the midst of the fire.
Tad Nebukadnecars piegāja pie tā degošā cepļa durvīm, iesāka un sacīja: Sadrah, Mesah un AbedNegu, jūs tā visuaugstākā Dieva kalpi, izejiet ārā un nāciet šurp. Tad Sadrahs, Mesahs un AbedNegus izgāja no uguns ārā.
27 And the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, and the king's ministers, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power upon their bodies, nor was the hair of their head singed, neither were their cloaks changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them.
Un tie lielkungi, valdītāji, zemes soģi un ķēniņa runas kungi sapulcinājās, šos vīrus apraudzīt, ka uguns viņu miesas nebija pārvarējis, un ka viņu galvas mati nebija apsviluši, un viņu mēteļi nebija aizskarti, ka arī nekāda deguma smaka pie tiem netapa saosta.
28 Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said: 'Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent His angel, and delivered His servants that trusted in Him, and have changed the king's word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
Tad Nebukadnecars iesāka un sacīja: slavēts lai ir Sadraha, Mesaha un AbedNegus Dievs, kas Savu eņģeli sūtījis un Savus kalpus atpestījis, kas uz Viņu paļāvušies un pārkāpuši ķēniņa vārdu un savas miesas nodevuši, lai citu dievu ne godātu nedz pielūgtu kā vien savu Dievu.
29 Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill; because there is no other god that is able to deliver after this sort.'
Tādēļ es pavēlu, ka visus ļaudis, tautas un mēles, kas Sadraha, Mesaha un AbedNegus Dievu zaimo, būs sasist gabalos un viņu namus darīt par mēslu čupu. Jo cita tāda Dieva nav, kas tā varētu atpestīt;
30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, in the province of Babylon.
Un ķēniņš Sadraham, Mesaham un AbedNegum deva lielu varu Bābeles valstī.
