< Daniēla 2 >
1 Un Nebukadnecara valdīšanas otrā gadā Nebukadnecars redzēja sapņus. No tām viņa gars iztrūcinājās, ka viņš no miega uzmodās.
And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar has dreamed dreams, and his spirit moves itself, and his sleep has been against 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.
and the king says to call for enchanters, and for conjurers, and for sorcerers, and for Chaldeans, to declare to the king his dreams. And they come in and stand 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 says to them, “I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is moved to know the dream.”
4 Tad tie Kaldeji uz viņu sacīja kaldejiski: lai ķēniņš dzīvo mūžīgi! Saki saviem kalpiem to sapni, tad mēs to izstāstīsim.
And the Chaldeans speak to the king [in] Aramaic, “O king, live for all ages, tell the dream to your servants, and we show the interpretation.”
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 has answered and said to the Chaldeans, “The thing is gone from me; if you do not cause me to know the dream and its interpretation, you are made pieces, and your houses are made dunghills;
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.
and if the dream and its interpretation you show, gifts, and fee, and great glory you receive from before me, therefore the dream and its interpretation you show me.”
7 Tie atbildēja otru reiz' un sacīja: lai ķēniņš saka saviem kalpiem to sapni, tad mēs to izstāstīsim.
They have answered a second time, and are saying, “Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we show the interpretation.”
8 Ķēniņš atbildēja un sacīja: tiešām, es nomanu, ka jūs tikai laiku gribat vilcināt; jo jūs redzat, ka mans vārds ir teikts.
The king has answered and said, “Of a truth I know that you are gaining time, because that you have seen that the thing is gone from me,
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.
[so] that, if you do not cause me to know the dream—one is your sentence, seeing a lying and corrupt word you have prepared to speak before me, until the time is changed, therefore tell the dream to me, then I know that you show me its interpretation.”
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.
The Chaldeans have answered before the king, and are saying, “There is not a man on the earth who is able to show the king’s matter; therefore, no king, chief, and ruler, has asked such a thing as this of any scribe, and enchanter, and Chaldean;
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.
and the thing that the king is asking [is] precious, and there are no others that show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.”
12 Par to ķēniņš palika dusmīgs un apskaitās ļoti un pavēlēja, visus gudros Bābelē nokaut.
Therefore the king has been furious and very angry, and has said to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
13 Un pavēle izgāja, tos gudros kaut, un arī Daniēls un viņa biedri tapa meklēti, ka tos nokautu.
And the sentence has gone forth, and the wise men are being slain, and they have sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.
14 Tad Daniēls gudri un prātīgi atbildēja Ariokam, ķēniņa pils karavīru virsniekam, kas bija izgājis, tos gudros Bābelē nokaut.
Then Daniel has replied [with] counsel and discretion to Arioch chief of the executioners of the king, who has gone forth to slay 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 has answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, “Why [is] the sentence so urgent from before the king?” Then Arioch has made the thing known to Daniel,
16 Un Daniēls gāja iekšā un lūdza ķēniņu, viņam laiku dot, ka ķēniņam to izstāstīšanu varētu sacīt.
and Daniel has gone up, and sought of the king that he would give him time to show the interpretation to the king.
17 Tad Daniēls nogāja savā namā un to sacīja Ananijam, Mišaēlim un Azarijam, saviem biedriem,
Then Daniel has gone to his house, and to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, he has made the thing known,
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.
and to seek mercies from before the God of the heavens concerning this secret, that they do not destroy Daniel and his companions with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
19 Tad Daniēlim nakts parādīšanā tas noslēpums tapa parādīts.
Then to Daniel, in a vision of the night, the secret has been revealed. Then Daniel has blessed the God of the heavens.
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!
Daniel has answered and said, “Let the Name of God be blessed from age even to age, for wisdom and might—for they are His.
21 Jo Viņš pārceļ laikus un stundas, Viņš noceļ ķēniņus un ieceļ ķēniņus, Viņš gudriem dod gudrību un saprašanu prātīgiem.
And He is changing times and seasons, He is causing kings to pass away, and He is raising up kings; He is giving wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those possessing understanding.
22 Viņš parāda dziļas un apslēptas lietas, Viņš zin, kas ir tumsībā, jo pie Viņa mīt gaisma.
He is revealing deep and hidden things; He has known what [is] in darkness, and light has dwelt 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.
You, O God of my fathers, I am thanking and praising, for wisdom and might You have given to me; and now, You have caused me to know that which we have sought from You, for the king’s matter You have caused us to know.”
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.
Therefore Daniel has gone up to Arioch, whom the king has appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he has gone, and thus has said to him, “You do not destroy the wise men of Babylon, bring me up before the king, and I show the interpretation to the king.”
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 in haste has brought up Daniel before the king, and thus has said to him, “I have found a man of the sons of the expulsion of Judah, who makes known the interpretation to the king.”
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 has answered and said to Daniel, whose name [is] Belteshazzar, “Are you able to cause me to know the dream that I have seen, and its interpretation?”
27 Daniēls atbildēja ķēniņa priekšā un sacīja: to noslēpumu, ko ķēniņš prasa, to tie gudrie, vārdotāji, zīlnieki un pareģi ķēniņam nevar sacīt.
Daniel has answered before the king and said, “The secret that the king is asking, the wise men, the enchanters, the scribes, the soothsayers, are not able to show to the king;
28 Bet ir viens Dievs debesīs, kas parāda noslēpumus; Tas ķēniņam Nebukadnecaram dara zināmu, kas notiks nākamos laikos.
but there is a God in the heavens, a revealer of secrets, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar that which [is] to be in the latter end of the days. Your dream 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.
You, O king, your thoughts on your bed have come up [concerning] that which [is] to be after this, and the Revealer of secrets has caused you to know that which [is] to be.
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—not for [any] wisdom that is in me above any living has this secret been revealed to me; but for the intent that the interpretation to the king they make known, and the thoughts of your heart you know.
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 behold, a certain great image. This image [is] mighty, and its brightness excellent; it is standing before you, and its appearance [is] terrible.
32 Šī tēla galva bija no laba zelta, viņa krūtis un rokas no sudraba, viņa vēders un gurni bija no vara,
This image! Its head [is] of fine gold, its breasts and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze;
33 Viņa lieli no dzelzs, viņa kājas bija puse no dzelzs un puse no māla.
its legs of iron, its feet, part of them of iron, and part of them of clay.
34 Šo tu redzēji, tiekams viens akmens taisījās vaļā bez rokām, tas sita to tēlu pie viņa dzelzs un māla kājām, un tās satrieca.
You were looking until a stone has been cut out without hands, and it has struck the image on its feet, that [are] of iron and of clay, and it has broken them small;
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 broken small together have been the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, and they have been as chaff from the summer threshing-floor, and the wind has carried them away, and no place has been found for them: and the stone that struck the image has become a great mountain, and has filled all the land.
36 Šis ir tas sapnis. Nu mēs ķēniņam gribam sacīt viņa izstāstīšanu.
This [is] the dream, and its interpretation we tell before the king.
37 Tu, ķēniņ, esi ķēniņš pār ķēniņiem, jo Tas debesu Dievs tev ir devis valdību, varu, spēku un godu.
You, O king, are a king of kings, for the God of the heavens a kingdom, strength, and might, and glory, has given to you;
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.
and wherever sons of men are dwelling, the beast of the field, and the bird of the heavens, He has given into your hand, and has caused you to rule over them all; you [are] this 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 arises lower than those, and another third kingdom of bronze, that rules 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 is strong as iron, because that iron is breaking small, and making feeble, all [things], even as iron that is breaking all these, it beats small and breaks.
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,
As for that which you have seen: the feet and toes, part of them potter’s clay, and part of them iron, the kingdom is divided: and some of the standing of the iron [is] to be in it, because that you have seen the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 Un tos kāju pirkstus pusi no dzelzs un pusi no māla - tā valsts būs uz pusi cieta un uz pusi gļēva.
As for the toes of the feet, part of them iron, and part of them clay: some part of the kingdom is strong, and some part of it is brittle.
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.
Because you have seen iron mixed with miry clay, they are mixing themselves with the seed of men: and they are not adhering with one another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
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 these kings the God of the heavens raises up a kingdom that is not destroyed for all time, and its kingdom is not left to another people: it beats small and ends all these kingdoms, and it stands for all time.
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 that you have seen that out of the mountain a stone has been cut without hands, and it has beaten the iron small, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God has made known to the king that which [is] to be after this; and the dream [is] true, and its interpretation steadfast.”
46 Tad ķēniņš Nebukadnecars nometās uz savu vaigu un pielūdza Daniēli un pavēlēja, lai tam nes ēdamus un kvēpināmus upurus.
Then King Nebuchadnezzar has fallen on his face, and to Daniel he has done homage, and present, and sweet things, he has said to pour out 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.
The king has answered Daniel and said, “Of a truth [it is] that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since you have been able to reveal this secret.”
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 has made Daniel great, and many great gifts he has given to him, and has caused him to rule over all the province of Babylon, and chief of the prefects 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 Daniel has sought from the king, and he has appointed over the work of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, and Daniel [is] in the gate of the king.
