Daniēla 10
1 Kirus, Persiešu ķēniņa, trešā gadā Daniēlim, kas nosaukts Beltsacars, šī parādīšana tapa parādīta, un tas vārds ir patiesīgs un zīmē lielas bēdas, un viņš to lika vērā un saprata to parādīšanu.
During the third year that Cyrus was the king of Persia, I Daniel, [who had been given the] name Belteshazzar, received [another] message [from God]. The message was true, but it was very difficult for me to understand it. But [later] I understood the message because of the vision that I had seen.
2 Tanīs dienās es, Daniēls, biju noskumis cauras trīs nedēļas.
At that time I had been sad for three weeks [about what had happened to Jerusalem].
3 Gardas barības es neēdu, un ne gaļa ne vīns nenāca manā mutē, es arī nesvaidījos, tiekams trīs veselas nedēļas bija pagājušas.
I did not eat any tasty food or any meat or drink any wine. I did not even put any perfumed oil on my [face or hair] for those three weeks.
4 Un pirmā mēneša divdesmit ceturtā dienā es biju Hideķeles lielupes malā.
[When those three weeks ended, ] on April 23, [my companions and] I were standing on the bank of the great Tigris River.
5 Un es pacēlu savas acis un skatījos, un redzi, tur bija vīrs nātnu(linu) drēbēs ģērbts, un viņa gurni bija apjozti ar šķīstu zeltu no Upas.
I looked up and saw someone there who was wearing fine white/linen clothes and a belt [made of] pure gold.
6 Un viņa miesas bija kā krizolita akmens un viņa vaigs kā zibens un viņa acis kā degošas lāpas un viņa rokas un kājas kā degošs varš un viņa valodas balss kā trokšņa skaņa.
His body [shone] like a precious beryl stone. His face was as [bright as] a flash of lightning. His eyes [were/shone] like flaming torches. His arms and legs [shone] like polished bronze. And his voice was [very loud], like the roar of a huge crowd.
7 Un es, Daniēls, redzēju to parādīšanu viens pats, bet tie vīri, kas bija pie manis, to neredzēja, bet liela bailība tiem uzgāja, ka tie bēga un paslēpās.
I, Daniel, was the only one who saw this vision. The men who were with me did not see anything, but [they sensed that someone was there, and they] became terrified. They ran away and hid themselves.
8 Es tad atliku viens pats un redzēju šo lielo parādīšanu, un pie manis spēka nepalika, un mans vaigs nejauki nobāla, un man spēka vairs neatlika.
So I was left there by myself, looking at this very unusual vision. I had no strength left. My face became very pale, with the result that no one would have recognized me.
9 Un es dzirdēju viņa valodas balsi, un kad es viņa valodas balsi dzirdēju, tad es nokritu pamiris uz savu vaigu pie zemes.
I saw a man there, and when I heard him speak, I fell to the ground. I (fainted/became unconscious), [and I lay there] with my face on the ground.
10 Un redzi, roka mani aizskāra un palīdzēja, ka es pacēlos uz saviem ceļiem un uz savām rokām.
Suddenly someone’s hand took hold of me and lifted me, with the result that I was on my hands and knees, [but I was still] trembling.
11 Un viņš uz mani sacīja: Daniēl, tu mīļais vīrs, ņem vērā tos vārdus, ko es uz tevi runāšu, un celies stāvu, jo tagad es pie tevis esmu sūtīts. Un kad viņš to vārdu ar mani runāja, tad es cēlos trīcēdams.
The man said to me, “Daniel, [God] loves you very much. Stand up and listen to what I am going to say to you, because [God] sent me to you.” When he said that, I stood up, [but I was still] trembling.
12 Un viņš uz mani sacīja: nebīsties, Daniēl! Jo no tās pirmās dienas, kad tu savā sirdī esi dzinies to saprast un esi mērdējies sava Dieva priekšā, tad tavi vārdi ir paklausīti, un es tavu vārdu dēļ esmu atnācis.
Then he said to me, “Daniel, do not be afraid. God has heard what you have prayed ever since the first day that you determined to humble yourself in order to understand [the vision]. I have come to you because of what you prayed.
13 Bet Persiešu valsts valdnieks man stāvēja pretī divdesmit un vienu dienu, un redzi, Miķelis, viens no tiem pirmajiem valdniekiem, man nāca palīgā, tad es tur uzvarēju pie tiem Persiešu ķēniņiem.
The [evil spirit who] rules the kingdom of Persia resisted/hindered me for 21 days, but Michael, who is one of God’s chief angels, came to help me. I left him there in Persia [to resist] that evil spirit who rules there.
14 Nu es esmu nācis, tev ziņu dot, kas taviem ļaudīm notiks nākamā laikā, jo arī vēl šī parādīšana notiks pēc ilga laika.
I have come here to enable you to understand what will happen to the Israeli people in the future. [Do not forget that] the vision [that you saw] is about [things that will happen in] the distant future, [not about things that will happen very soon].”
15 Un kad viņš šos vārdus ar mani runāja, tad es ar savu vaigu skatījos pie zemes un paliku klusu.
While he was saying that, I stared at the ground and was unable to say anything [because I was very afraid].
16 Un redzi, viens, kas cilvēka bērniem bija līdzīgs, aizskāra manas lūpas. Tad es atdarīju savu muti un sacīju uz to, kas pie manis stāvēja: mans Kungs, par šo parādīšanu mani locekļi dreb, ka man spēka nepaliek.
Suddenly [the angel], who resembled a human, touched my lips. Then [I was able to speak, and] I said to him, “Sir, because [I have seen] this vision, I have become very weak, with the result that I cannot stop trembling.
17 Un kā šā sava kunga kalps var runāt ar šo savu kungu, jo no šī laika spēka pie manis nepaliek, un man arī dvašas neatliek.
I am not able [RHQ] to talk to you, my master. I have no strength left, and it is very difficult for me to breathe.”
18 Tad atkal viens mani aizskāra, kam bija cilvēka izskats, un mani spēcināja.
But he took hold of me again, and enabled me to become stronger again.
19 Un viņš sacīja: nebīsties, tu mīļais vīrs! Miers lai ir ar tevi! Un ņemies drošu, drošu prātu! Un viņam ar mani runājot, es atspirgu un sacīju: runā, mans Kungs, jo tu mani esi atspirdzinājis.
He said to me, “You human, God loves you very much. [So] do not be afraid. I desire/want things to go well for you and that you will be encouraged.” When he had said that, I felt even stronger, and I said, “Sir, tell me [what you want to tell me]. You have enabled me to feel stronger.”
20 Tad viņš sacīja: vai tu zini, kāpēc es pie tevis esmu nācis? Es nu griezīšos atpakaļ, ar Persiešu valdnieku karot, un kad es būšu izgājis, tad nāks Grieķu valdnieks.
Then he said, “(Do you know why I came to you?/I will tell you why I came to you.) [RHQ] It is to reveal to you what is written in the book which reveals/contains God’s truth. But now I must return to fight against [the evil spirit] who rules the kingdom of Persia. After I have defeated him, [the evil angel] who guards Greece will appear [and I must defeat him]. Michael, who guards you [Israeli people], will help me, but there is no one else to help me.”
21 Bet es tev stāstīšu, kas patiesības rakstos uzrakstīts; un neviena nav, kas mani pret viņiem spēcina, kā vien jūsu valdnieks Miķelis.
