< Daniēla 2 >
1 Un Nebukadnecara valdīšanas otrā gadā Nebukadnecars redzēja sapņus. No tām viņa gars iztrūcinājās, ka viņš no miega uzmodās.
In the second year of the rule of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was troubled and his sleep went from him.
2 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.
Then the king gave orders that the wonder-workers, and the users of secret arts, and those who made use of evil powers, and the Chaldaeans, were to be sent for to make clear to the king his dreams. So they came and took their places before the king.
3 Un ķēniņš uz tiem sacīja: es esmu redzējis sapni, un mans gars ir iztrūcināts, un es gribu to sapni zināt.
And the king said to them, I have had a dream, and my spirit is troubled by the desire to have the dream made clear to me.
4 Tad tie Kaldeji uz viņu sacīja kaldejiski: lai ķēniņš dzīvo mūžīgi! Saki saviem kalpiem to sapni, tad mēs to izstāstīsim.
Then the Chaldaeans said to the king in the Aramaean language, O King, have life for ever: give your servants an account of your dream, and we will make clear to you the sense of it.
5 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.
The king made answer and said to the Chaldaeans, This is my decision: if you do not make clear to me the dream and the sense of it, you will be cut in bits and your houses made waste.
6 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.
But if you make clear the dream and the sense of it, you will have from me offerings and rewards and great honour: so make clear to me the dream and the sense of it.
7 Tie atbildēja otru reiz' un sacīja: lai ķēniņš saka saviem kalpiem to sapni, tad mēs to izstāstīsim.
A second time they said in answer, Let the king give his servants an account of his dream, and we will make clear the sense.
8 Ķēniņš atbildēja un sacīja: tiešām, es nomanu, ka jūs tikai laiku gribat vilcināt; jo jūs redzat, ka mans vārds ir teikts.
The king made answer and said, I am certain that you are attempting to get more time, because you see that my decision is fixed;
9 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.
That if you do not make my dream clear to me there is only one fate for you: for you have made ready false and evil words to say before me till the times are changed: so give me an account of the dream, and I will be certain that you are able to make the sense of it clear.
10 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.
Then the Chaldaeans said to the king in answer, There is not a man on earth able to make clear the king's business; for no king, however great his power, has ever made such a request to any wonder-worker or user of secret arts or Chaldaean.
11 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.
The king's request is a very hard one, and there is no other who is able to make it clear to the king, but the gods, whose living-place is not with flesh.
12 Par to ķēniņš palika dusmīgs un apskaitās ļoti un pavēlēja, visus gudros Bābelē nokaut.
Because of this the king was angry and full of wrath, and gave orders for the destruction of all the wise men of Babylon.
13 Un pavēle izgāja, tos gudros kaut, un arī Daniēls un viņa biedri tapa meklēti, ka tos nokautu.
So the order went out that the wise men were to be put to death; and they were looking for Daniel and his friends to put them to death.
14 Tad Daniēls gudri un prātīgi atbildēja Ariokam, ķēniņa pils karavīru virsniekam, kas bija izgājis, tos gudros Bābelē nokaut.
Then Daniel gave an answer with wisdom and good sense to Arioch, the captain of the king's armed men, who had gone out to put to death the wise men of Babylon;
15 Viņš atbildēja un sacīja Ariokam, ķēniņa varenajam: Kāpēc tāda briesmīga pavēle no ķēniņa? Tad Arioks Daniēlim to lietu teica.
He made answer and said to Arioch, O captain of the king, why is the king's order so cruel? Then Arioch gave Daniel an account of the business.
16 Un Daniēls gāja iekšā un lūdza ķēniņu, viņam laiku dot, ka ķēniņam to izstāstīšanu varētu sacīt.
And Daniel went in and made a request to the king to give him time and he would make clear the sense of his dream to the king.
17 Tad Daniēls nogāja savā namā un to sacīja Ananijam, Mišaēlim un Azarijam, saviem biedriem,
And Daniel went to his house and gave his friends Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah the news:
18 Lai tie no tā debesu Dieva žēlastību lūgtu par šo noslēpumu, ka Daniēls un viņa biedri ar tiem vēl atlikušiem gudriem Bābelē netiktu nokauti.
So that they might make a request for the mercy of the God of heaven in the question of this secret; so that Daniel and his friends might not come to destruction with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
19 Tad Daniēlim nakts parādīšanā tas noslēpums tapa parādīts.
Then the secret was made clear to Daniel in a vision of the night. And Daniel gave blessing to the God of heaven.
20 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!
And Daniel said in answer, May the name of God be praised for ever and ever: for wisdom and strength are his:
21 Jo Viņš pārceļ laikus un stundas, Viņš noceļ ķēniņus un ieceļ ķēniņus, Viņš gudriem dod gudrību un saprašanu prātīgiem.
By him times and years are changed: by him kings are taken away and kings are lifted up: he gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those whose minds are awake:
22 Viņš parāda dziļas un apslēptas lietas, Viņš zin, kas ir tumsībā, jo pie Viņa mīt gaisma.
He is the unveiler of deep and secret things: he has knowledge of what is in the dark, and the light has its living-place with him.
23 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.
I give you praise and worship, O God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and strength, and have now made clear to me what we were requesting from you: for you have given us knowledge of the king's business.
24 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.
For this reason Daniel went to Arioch, to whom the king had given orders for the destruction of the wise men of Babylon, and said to him, Do not put to death the wise men of Babylon: take me in before the king and I will make clear to him the sense of the dream.
25 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.
Then Arioch quickly took Daniel in before the king, and said to him, Here is a man from among the prisoners of Judah, who will make clear to the king the sense of the dream.
26 Ķēniņš atbildēja un sacīja uz Daniēli, ko sauca par Beltsacaru: vai tu spēji man to sapni stāstīt, ko es esmu redzējis, un arī izstāstīt?
The king made answer and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Are you able to make clear to me the dream which I saw and its sense?
27 Daniēls atbildēja ķēniņa priekšā un sacīja: to noslēpumu, ko ķēniņš prasa, to tie gudrie, vārdotāji, zīlnieki un pareģi ķēniņam nevar sacīt.
Then Daniel said in answer to the king, No wise men, or users of secret arts, or wonder-workers, or readers of signs, are able to make clear to the king the secret he is searching for;
28 Bet ir viens Dievs debesīs, kas parāda noslēpumus; Tas ķēniņam Nebukadnecaram dara zināmu, kas notiks nākamos laikos.
But there is a God in heaven, the unveiler of secrets, and he has given to King Nebuchadnezzar knowledge of what will take place in the last days. Your dreams and the visions of your head on your bed are these:
29 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.
As for you, O King, the thoughts which came to you on your bed were of what will come about after this: and the unveiler of secrets has made clear to you what is to come.
30 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.
As for me, this secret is not made clear to me because of any wisdom which I have more than any living man, but in order that the sense of the dream may be made clear to the king, and that you may have knowledge of the thoughts of your heart.
31 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.
You, O King, were looking, and a great image was there. This image, which was very great, and whose glory was very bright, was placed before you: its form sent fear into the heart.
32 Šī tēla galva bija no laba zelta, viņa krūtis un rokas no sudraba, viņa vēders un gurni bija no vara,
As for this image, its head was made of the best gold, its breast and its arms were of silver, its middle and its sides were of brass,
33 Viņa lieli no dzelzs, viņa kājas bija puse no dzelzs un puse no māla.
Its legs of iron, its feet were in part of iron and in part of potter's earth.
34 Šo tu redzēji, tiekams viens akmens taisījās vaļā bez rokām, tas sita to tēlu pie viņa dzelzs un māla kājām, un tās satrieca.
While you were looking at it, a stone was cut out, but not by hands, and it gave the image a blow on its feet, which were of iron and earth, and they were broken in bits.
35 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.
Then the iron and the earth, the brass and the silver and the gold, were smashed together, and became like the dust on the floors where grain is crushed in summer; and the wind took them away so that no sign of them was to be seen: and the stone which gave the image a blow became a great mountain, covering all the earth.
36 Šis ir tas sapnis. Nu mēs ķēniņam gribam sacīt viņa izstāstīšanu.
This is the dream; and we will make clear to the king the sense of it.
37 Tu, ķēniņ, esi ķēniņš pār ķēniņiem, jo Tas debesu Dievs tev ir devis valdību, varu, spēku un godu.
You, O King, king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory,
38 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.
Wherever the children of men are living; into whose hands he has given the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven, and has made you ruler over them all, you are the head of gold.
39 Un pēc tevis celsies cita valsts, mazāka nekā tava. Pēc tās tā trešā valsts no vara; tā valdīs pār visu zemi.
And after you another kingdom, lower than you, will come to power; and a third kingdom, of brass, ruling over all the earth.
40 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.
And the fourth kingdom will be strong as iron: because, as all things are broken and overcome by iron, so it will have the power of crushing and smashing down all the earth.
41 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,
And as you saw the feet and toes, part of potter's work and part of iron, there will be a division in the kingdom; but there will be some of the strength of iron in it, because you saw the iron mixed with the potter's earth.
42 Un tos kāju pirkstus pusi no dzelzs un pusi no māla - tā valsts būs uz pusi cieta un uz pusi gļēva.
And as the toes of the feet were in part of iron and in part of earth, so part of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will readily be broken.
43 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.
And as you saw the iron mixed with earth, they will give their daughters to one another as wives: but they will not be united one with another, even as iron is not mixed with earth.
44 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.
And in the days of those kings, the God of heaven will put up a kingdom which will never come to destruction, and its power will never be given into the hands of another people, and all these kingdoms will be broken and overcome by it, but it will keep its place for ever.
45 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.
Because you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that by it the iron and the brass and the earth and the silver and the gold were broken to bits, a great God has given the king knowledge of what is to take place in the future: the dream is fixed, and its sense is certain.
46 Tad ķēniņš Nebukadnecars nometās uz savu vaigu un pielūdza Daniēli un pavēlēja, lai tam nes ēdamus un kvēpināmus upurus.
Then King Nebuchadnezzar, falling down on his face, gave worship to Daniel, and gave orders for an offering and spices to be given to him;
47 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.
And the king made answer to Daniel and said, Truly, your God is a God of gods and a Lord of kings, and an unveiler of secrets, for you have been able to make this secret clear.
48 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.
Then the king made Daniel great, and gave him offerings in great number, and made him ruler over all the land of Babylon, and chief over all the wise men of Babylon.
49 Un Daniēls lūdza ķēniņu, un tas iecēla Sadrahu, Mesahu un AbedNegu par valdniekiem pār Bābeles valsti. Bet Daniēls palika ķēniņa pilī.
And at Daniel's request, the king gave Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego authority over the business of the land of Babylon: but Daniel was kept near the king's person.
