Daniel 2
1 [One night] during the second year that Nebuchadnezzar ruled, he had a dream. The dream worried him very much; and [as a result] he could not sleep.
Un Nebukadnecara valdīšanas otrā gadā Nebukadnecars redzēja sapņus. No tām viņa gars iztrūcinājās, ka viņš no miega uzmodās.
2 [The next morning] he summoned his men who worked magic, fortune-tellers, those who worked sorcery, and those who studied the stars. [Because he had forgotten what he had dreamed, ] he insisted that they tell him what he had dreamed. As they stood there in front of the king,
Un ķēniņš pavēlēja, atsaukt tos gudros un vārdotājus un pareģus un Kaldejus, lai tie ķēniņam izstāstītu viņa sapņus. Un tie nāca un stāvēja ķēniņa priekšā.
3 he said, “I had a dream [last night] that worries me. [Tell me what I dreamed, because] I want to know what the dream [means].”
Un ķēniņš uz tiem sacīja: es esmu redzējis sapni, un mans gars ir iztrūcināts, un es gribu to sapni zināt.
4 The men who studied the stars replied to the king, speaking in the Aramaic [language]. They said, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we hope that you will live a long time! Tell us what you dreamed, and [then] we will tell you what it means!”
Tad tie Kaldeji uz viņu sacīja kaldejiski: lai ķēniņš dzīvo mūžīgi! Saki saviem kalpiem to sapni, tad mēs to izstāstīsim.
5 But the king replied, “I have firmly decided that you must tell me the dream, and [also tell me] what it means. If you do not do that, I will [order my soldiers to] cut you into pieces, and to cause your houses to become only piles of stones!
Ķēniņš atbildēja un sacīja uz tiem Kaldejiem: mans vārds ir teikts: ja jūs man nedarīsiet zināmu to sapni un kā viņš izstāstāms, tad jūs tiksiet sasisti gabalos, un jūsu namus darīs par mēslu čupu.
6 But if you tell me what I dreamed and what it means, I will reward you. I will give you wonderful gifts and greatly honor you. So tell me what I dreamed and what it means!”
Bet ja jūs man darīsiet zināmu to sapni un kā tas izstāstāms, tad jūs dabūsiet dāvanas un mantas un lielu godu no manis; tādēļ darāt man zināmu to sapni un kā tas izstāstāms.
7 But again they said, “Tell us what you dreamed, and [then] we will tell you what it means.”
Tie atbildēja otru reiz' un sacīja: lai ķēniņš saka saviem kalpiem to sapni, tad mēs to izstāstīsim.
8 The king replied, “I know that you are just trying to get more time, because you know that I will do to you what I said that I would do.
Ķēniņš atbildēja un sacīja: tiešām, es nomanu, ka jūs tikai laiku gribat vilcināt; jo jūs redzat, ka mans vārds ir teikts.
9 If you do not tell me what I dreamed, you will be punished. [I think that] you have all agreed to tell me lies and [other] wicked things, because you hope that I will change ([my mind/what I am thinking]). But tell me the dream, and [then] I will know that you can [also] tell me what it means.”
Bet ja jūs man to sapni nesakāt, tad jums nāks tā nospriestā sodība, tāpēc ka jūs esat apņēmušies manā priekšā runāt melus un nieku vārdus, tiekams laiks paiet. Tāpēc sakāt man to sapni, tad es atzīšu, ka jūs arī varēsiet man to izstāstīt.
10 The men who studied the stars replied, “There is no one on the earth who can do what you ask! There is no king, [even] a great and mighty king, who has [ever] asked his men who work magic or his fortune-tellers or men who study the stars to do something like that!
Tie Kaldeji ķēniņam atbildēja un sacīja: neviena cilvēka nav virs zemes, kas ķēniņam to lietu varētu sacīt, un nav bijis neviens liels un varens ķēniņš, kas tādu lietu būtu prasījis no kāda zīlnieka vai vārdotāja vai Kaldeja.
11 What you are asking [us to do] is impossible. Only the gods can tell you what you dreamed, and they do not live among us!”
Jo šī lieta, ko ķēniņš prasa, ir par daudz grūta, un cita neviena nav, kas ķēniņam to var darīt zināmu, kā tie dievi vien, kas pie cilvēkiem nedzīvo.
12 The king was very angry when he heard that, so he commanded [his soldiers] that they execute all such wise men in Babylon.
Par to ķēniņš palika dusmīgs un apskaitās ļoti un pavēlēja, visus gudros Bābelē nokaut.
13 And because of what the king commanded, they sent some men to find me and my [three] friends, to execute us [also].
Un pavēle izgāja, tos gudros kaut, un arī Daniēls un viņa biedri tapa meklēti, ka tos nokautu.
14 Arioch, the commander of the king’s guards, came to kill us. But I spoke to him very wisely and tactfully/skillfully.
Tad Daniēls gudri un prātīgi atbildēja Ariokam, ķēniņa pils karavīru virsniekam, kas bija izgājis, tos gudros Bābelē nokaut.
15 I asked Arioch, “Why has the king made such a harsh/terrible decree?” So Arioch told me all that had happened [because of the king’s dream].
Viņš atbildēja un sacīja Ariokam, ķēniņa varenajam: Kāpēc tāda briesmīga pavēle no ķēniņa? Tad Arioks Daniēlim to lietu teica.
16 I [immediately] went to talk to the king and requested that the king give me some time, so that I could find out [what the dream was and] what the dream meant.
Un Daniēls gāja iekšā un lūdza ķēniņu, viņam laiku dot, ka ķēniņam to izstāstīšanu varētu sacīt.
17 Then I went home, and I told my friends, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, what had happened.
Tad Daniēls nogāja savā namā un to sacīja Ananijam, Mišaēlim un Azarijam, saviem biedriem,
18 I urged them to ask God, who lives/rules in heaven, to have mercy on us by telling us the secret [meaning of what the king dreamed], in order that we and the other wise men in Babylon would not be executed.
Lai tie no tā debesu Dieva žēlastību lūgtu par šo noslēpumu, ka Daniēls un viņa biedri ar tiem vēl atlikušiem gudriem Bābelē netiktu nokauti.
19 And that night [God] gave to me a vision in which he revealed the secret. Then I praised God,
Tad Daniēlim nakts parādīšanā tas noslēpums tapa parādīts.
20 saying, “We should praise God [MTY] forever, because [only] he truly is wise and powerful.
Par to Daniēls teica to debesu Dievu, un Daniēls atbildēja un sacīja: slavēts lai ir Dieva vārds mūžīgi mūžam, jo Viņam pieder gudrība un spēks!
21 He determines what events will happen through the years. He removes [some] kings and gives their authority to [new] kings. He is the one who causes people to become wise and enables those who study to understand [many] things.
Jo Viņš pārceļ laikus un stundas, Viņš noceļ ķēniņus un ieceļ ķēniņus, Viņš gudriem dod gudrību un saprašanu prātīgiem.
22 He reveals things that are very mysterious; he is surrounded by light, but he knows things that are hidden [as though they were] in the darkness.
Viņš parāda dziļas un apslēptas lietas, Viņš zin, kas ir tumsībā, jo pie Viņa mīt gaisma.
23 God, whom my ancestors [worshiped], I thank you and I praise you, because you have caused me to be wise and made me strong. You have told me what my friends and I asked you to tell us; and you have revealed to us what the king demanded to know.”
Es Tevi teicu un slavēju, manu tēvu Dievs, ka Tu man gudrību un spēku esi devis, un man nu esi darījis zināmu, ko mēs no Tevis esam lūguši, jo Tu mums ķēniņa lietu esi darījis zināmu.
24 Then I went to Arioch, the man whom the king had appointed to execute the wise men in Babylon. I said to him, “Do not kill those wise men. Take me to the king, and I will tell him what his dream means.”
Tad Daniēls nogāja pie Arioka, kam ķēniņš bija pavēlējis, tos gudros Bābelē nokaut, - viņš nogāja un tā uz viņu sacīja: nenokauj tos gudros Bābelē; ved mani pie ķēniņa iekšā, jo es ķēniņam to izstāstīšanu darīšu zināmu.
25 So Arioch quickly took me to the king. He said to the king, “I have found [this man], one of the men whom we brought from Judah who [says he can] can tell you what your dream means!”
Tad Arioks steigšus ieveda Daniēli iekšā pie ķēniņa un runāja tā uz viņu: es esmu atradis vienu vīru no tiem atvestiem Jūdiem, kas ķēniņam grib sacīt to izstāstīšanu.
26 The king said to me, whose [new] name was Belteshazzar, “[Is this true]? Can you tell me what I dreamed and what it means?”
Ķēniņš atbildēja un sacīja uz Daniēli, ko sauca par Beltsacaru: vai tu spēji man to sapni stāstīt, ko es esmu redzējis, un arī izstāstīt?
27 I replied, “There are no wise men or fortune-tellers or men who work magic or men who work sorcery who can tell such things to you.
Daniēls atbildēja ķēniņa priekšā un sacīja: to noslēpumu, ko ķēniņš prasa, to tie gudrie, vārdotāji, zīlnieki un pareģi ķēniņam nevar sacīt.
28 But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets. And he has shown in [your dream] what will happen in the future. Now I will tell you what you dreamed, the vision you saw [as you were lying] on your bed.
Bet ir viens Dievs debesīs, kas parāda noslēpumus; Tas ķēniņam Nebukadnecaram dara zināmu, kas notiks nākamos laikos.
29 O King, while you were sleeping, you dreamed about events that will happen in the future. The one who reveals mysteries has shown you what is going to happen.
Tavs sapnis un kas tavam prātam uz gultas rādījās, ir šis: tu, ķēniņ, uz gultas gulēdams, domāji, kas pēcgalā notiks, un Tas, kas noslēpumus parāda, tev ir darījis zināmu, kas notiks.
30 And it is not because I am wiser than anyone else on earth that I know the meaning of this mysterious dream. It is because God wanted you to understand what you were thinking.
Man tad tas noslēpums ir parādīts ne caur manu gudrību tā kā tā man būtu lielāka nekā citiem, kas dzīvo, bet tāpēc, ka ķēniņam tā izstāstīšana taptu zināma, un tu savas sirds domas dabūtu zināt.
31 O King, [in your vision] you saw in front of you a huge and terrifying statue [of a man. It was] shining very brightly, and it was frightening and awesome.
Tu, ķēniņ, skatījies, un redzi, bija liels tēls; šis tēls bija varens un viņa spožums bija brīnišķīgs; tas stāvēja tavā priekšā un viņa izskats bija briesmīgs.
32 The head of the statue was [made] of pure gold. Its chest and arms [were made of] silver. Its belly and thighs [were made of] bronze.
Šī tēla galva bija no laba zelta, viņa krūtis un rokas no sudraba, viņa vēders un gurni bija no vara,
33 Its legs [were made of] iron, and its feet were a mixture of clay and iron.
Viņa lieli no dzelzs, viņa kājas bija puse no dzelzs un puse no māla.
34 As you watched, something cut a rock [from a mountain, but it was] not a human [who cut it]. The rock [tumbled down and] smashed the feet of the statue, feet [that were made of] iron and clay. It smashed them to bits.
Šo tu redzēji, tiekams viens akmens taisījās vaļā bez rokām, tas sita to tēlu pie viņa dzelzs un māla kājām, un tās satrieca.
35 Then the rest of the statue collapsed into a big heap of iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold. The pieces of the statue were as small as bits of chaff on the ground where it is threshed, and the wind blew away all the tiny pieces. There was nothing left. But the rock that smashed the statue became a large mountain that covered the whole earth.
Tad uz reizi tapa satriekti dzelzs, māls, varš, sudrabs un zelts, un tapa tāpat kā pelavas uz vasaras kloniem, un vējš tos aiznesa, tā ka vieta tiem netapa atrasta. Bet tas akmens, kas to bija sasitis, palika par lielu kalnu un piepildīja visu zemi.
36 That was what you dreamed. Now I will tell you what it means.
Šis ir tas sapnis. Nu mēs ķēniņam gribam sacīt viņa izstāstīšanu.
37 You are a king [who rules] over [many other] kings. The God who rules in heaven has caused you to rule over them and has given you great power [DOU] and has honored you.
Tu, ķēniņ, esi ķēniņš pār ķēniņiem, jo Tas debesu Dievs tev ir devis valdību, varu, spēku un godu.
38 He has caused you to be the ruler over all people, and [even] the animals and birds are controlled by you. [So] the head [of the statue] represents you.
Un visur, kur cilvēki dzīvo, Viņš lopus laukā un putnus apakš debess ir devis tavā rokā un tevi iecēlis par valdītāju pār to visu: tu esi tā zelta galva.
39 But after your [kingdom/rule] ends, there will be another [great] kingdom, [but it] will not be as great as yours. [The silver parts of the statue represent that kingdom]. Then there will be a third [great] kingdom [whose king] will rule over the whole earth. The bronze parts [of the statue represent] that kingdom.
Un pēc tevis celsies cita valsts, mazāka nekā tava. Pēc tās tā trešā valsts no vara; tā valdīs pār visu zemi.
40 After that kingdom ends, there will be a fourth [great] kingdom. The iron [parts of the statue represent that kingdom]. [The army of] that kingdom will smash the previous kingdoms, just like iron smashes everything that it strikes.
Un tā ceturtā valsts būs cieta kā dzelzs. Jo itin kā dzelzs visu satriec un sadauza, tāpat kā dzelzs, kas sadauza, arī šī visas tās sadauzīs un satrieks.
41 The feet and toes of the statue that you saw, that were a mixture of iron and clay, indicate that the kingdom they represent will [later] be divided.
Un ka tu esi redzējis tās kājas un viņu pirkstus pusi no podnieka māla un pusi no dzelzs, tā būs dalīta valsts; taču tur no dzelzs stipruma būs iekšā, tā kā tu esi redzējis dzelzi sajauktu ar podnieka māliem,
42 Some parts of that kingdom will be as strong as iron, but some parts will not remain together, just as iron and clay do not stick together.
Un tos kāju pirkstus pusi no dzelzs un pusi no māla - tā valsts būs uz pusi cieta un uz pusi gļēva.
43 The mixture of iron and clay [in the statue] shows also that the rulers of those kingdoms that separate from each other will try to form alliances with each other as a result of members of the royal families of those kingdoms marrying each other. But that will not succeed, just as iron and clay do not stick together.
Un kā tu esi redzējis dzelzi sajauktu ar podnieka māliem, - tie gan caur cilvēku sadzīvi sajauksies, bet viens pie otra nepielips, itin kā dzelzs nesajaucās ar māliem.
44 But while those kings are ruling, God who rules in heaven will establish a kingdom that will never end. No one will ever defeat its king. He will completely destroy all those kingdoms, but his kingdom will remain forever.
Un šo ķēniņu laikā tas debesu Dievs uzcels valstību, kas mūžīgi netaps izpostīta, un šī valstība netaps atdota nevienai citai tautai; tā satrieks un iznīcinās visas valstis, bet pati viņa pastāvēs mūžīgi.
45 That is the meaning of the rock that something cut from the mountain, the rock that will crush to tiny bits the statue that is made of iron, bronze, silver, and gold. O king, the great God has shown you what will truly happen in the future. And you can trust [what I told you about] the meaning of the dream.”
Tāpēc tu esi redzējis, ka no kalna akmens bez rokām attaisījās vaļā, kas satrieca to dzelzi, varu, mālu, sudrabu un zeltu. Tas lielais Dievs ķēniņam ir darījis zināmu, kas pēc šim notiks. Šis ir tiešām tas sapnis un viņa izstāstīšana ir patiesīga.
46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar prostrated himself in front of me [in great respect]. He commanded [his people] that they burn incense and burn an offering of grain to honor me.
Tad ķēniņš Nebukadnecars nometās uz savu vaigu un pielūdza Daniēli un pavēlēja, lai tam nes ēdamus un kvēpināmus upurus.
47 The king said to me, “[Your God has enabled] you to tell me the meaning of this dream/mystery, so now I truly know that your God is greater than all the other gods and all other kings. He reveals [to people] things that they cannot know.”
Un ķēniņš atbildēja Daniēlim un sacīja: tas ir tiešām tiesa, ka jūsu Dievs ir Dievs pār visiem dieviem un Kungs pār ķēniņiem, un parāda noslēpumus, tāpēc ka tu šo noslēpumu varējis izstāstīt.
48 Then the king gave many gifts to me, and he [also] appointed me to rule over the entire province of Babylon, and [also] to be the boss of all his wise men.
Tad ķēniņš Daniēli paaugstināja un tam deva daudz lielas dāvanas un to iecēla par valdītāju pār visu Bābeles valsti un par virsnieku pār visiem Bābeles gudriem.
49 I asked the king to appoint Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to [also] have important positions in Babylon province, and the king did what I asked him to do. But [I did my work while] I stayed at the king’s palace.
Un Daniēls lūdza ķēniņu, un tas iecēla Sadrahu, Mesahu un AbedNegu par valdniekiem pār Bābeles valsti. Bet Daniēls palika ķēniņa pilī.
