< Daniēla 4 >
1 Ķēniņš Nebukadnecars visiem ļaudīm, tautām un mēlēm, kas dzīvo pa visu zemi: miers lai jums ir papilnam!
Nebuchadnezzar, the king, to all peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in the whole world, may peace be increased with you.
2 Man ir paticis izsludināt tās zīmes un tos brīnumus, ko tas visuaugstākais Dievs pie manis darījis.
The supreme God has accomplished signs and wonders with me. Therefore, it has pleased me to proclaim
3 Jo Viņa zīmes ir lielas un Viņa brīnumi ir vareni, Viņa valstība ir mūžīga valstība un Viņa valdīšana paliek līdz radu radiem.
his signs, which are great, and his wonders, which are mighty. For his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his power continues from generation to generation.
4 Es, Nebukadnecars, dzīvoju droši savā namā un laimīgi savā pilī.
I, Nebuchadnezzar, was content in my house and prospering in my palace.
5 Tad es redzēju sapni, kas mani izbiedēja, un tās domas, ko es savā gultā domāju, un manas galvas parādīšanas mani iztrūcināja.
I saw a dream that terrified me, and my thoughts on my bed and the visions in my head disturbed me.
6 Un es pavēlēju visus Bābeles gudros atvest manā priekšā, lai tie man teiktu šī sapņa izstāstīšanu.
And so a decree was established by me, that all of the wise men of Babylon should be brought in before me, and that they should reveal to me the answer to the dream.
7 Tad tie gudrie, vārdotāji, Kaldeji un pareģi atnāca, un es tiem teicu to sapni, bet tie man to neizstāstīja,
Then the seers, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers entered, and I explained about the dream in their presence, but they did not reveal its answer to me.
8 Tiekams pēdīgi manā priekšā nāca Daniēls, ko sauc par Beltsacaru pēc mana dieva vārda un iekš kā ir to svēto dievu gars, un es tam teicu to sapni:
And then their colleague came in before me, Daniel, (whose name is Belteshazzar according to the name of my god, ) who has the spirit of the holy gods within his very self, and I told the dream directly to him.
9 Beltsacar, gudro virsniek, par ko es zinu, ka svēto dievu gars ir iekš tevis, un nekāds noslēpums tev nav grūts, tad saki nu mana sapņa parādīšanu, ko es esmu redzējis, un viņa izstāstīšanu.
Belteshazzar, leader of the seers, since I know that you have in you the spirit of the holy gods, and that no mystery is unreachable to you, explain to me the visions of my dreams, which I saw, and the solution to them.
10 Bet tas ir, kas manam prātam rādījās uz manas gultas. Es skatījos, un redzi, viens koks bija zemes vidū, un tas bija ļoti augsts.
This was the vision of my head on my bed. I looked, and behold, a tree in the middle of the earth, and its height was exceedingly great.
11 Tas koks bija liels un resns, un viņa augstums sniedzās līdz debesīm, un tas bija redzams līdz pasaules galam.
The tree was great and strong, and its height reached up to heaven. It could be seen all the way to the ends of the entire earth.
12 Viņa zari bija skaisti, un viņa augļi bagāti, un barība tam bija priekš visiem; zemes zvēri apakš viņa atrada pavēni, un putni apakš debess dzīvoja uz viņa zariem, un visa miesa no tā barojās.
Its leaves were very beautiful, and its fruit was very abundant, and in it was food for the whole world. Under it, animals and beasts were dwelling, and in its branches, the birds of the sky were sheltered, and from it, all flesh was fed.
13 Un es redzēju savas galvas parādīšanā uz savas gultas, un raugi, svēts sargs nonāca no debesīm.
I saw in the vision of my head upon my blanket, and behold, a watcher and a holy one descended from heaven.
14 Tas sauca ar spēku un sacīja tā: nocērtiet to koku un apcērtiet viņa zarus un noplūciet viņa lapas un izkaisiet viņa augļus, lai zvēri apakš viņa aizbēg un putni no viņa zariem aizskrien.
He cried out loudly, and he said this: “Cut down the tree and prune its branches; shake off its leaves and scatter its fruits; let flee the beasts, which are under it, and the birds from its branches.
15 Bet to celmu ar saknēm atstājiet zemē, bet vara un dzelzs pinekļos, lauka zālē, lai viņš no debess rasas top slacināts, un viņa daļa lai ir kā lopiem zāle laukā.
Nevertheless, leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and let it be bound with a band of iron and brass among the plants, which are close by, and let it be touched by the dew of heaven, and let its place be with the wild animals among the plants of the earth.
16 Viņa sirds lai top pārvērsta, ka vairs nav cilvēka sirds, un lopa sirds lai viņam top dota, kamēr septiņi laiki paiet pār viņu.
Let his heart be changed from being human, and let the heart of a wild animal be given to him, and let seven periods of time pass over him.
17 Tas ir to sargu padoms, kas top sludināts, to svēto spriedums ir tā lieta; lai, kas dzīvo, atzīst, ka tam Visuvaldītājam vara ir pār cilvēku valstību, un viņš to dod, kam gribēdams, un pār to ieceļ to zemāko starp cilvēkiem.
This is the decree from the judgment of the watchers, and the decision and proclamation of the holy ones, until the living shall know that the Supreme One is ruler in the kingdom of men, and that he will give it to whomever he wills, and he will appoint the lowest man over it.”
18 Šo sapni es, ķēniņš Nebukadnecars, esmu redzējis. Tu tad, Beltsacar, izstāsti to, tādēļ ka visi manas valsts gudrie man to nevar izstāstīt, bet tu to gan māki, tāpēc ka svēto dievu gars ir iekš tevis.
I, king Nebuchadnezzar, saw this dream. And so you, Belteshazzar, must quickly explain to me the interpretation because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to declare the meaning of it to me. But you are able because the spirit of the holy gods is in you.
19 Tad Daniēls, kam Beltsacars vārdā, iztrūcinājās vienu stundu, un viņa domas viņu izbiedēja. Tad ķēniņš iesāka un sacīja: Beltsacar, lai tas sapnis un viņa izstāstīšana tevi neizbiedē. Beltsacars atbildēja un sacīja: mans kungs, šis sapnis lai notiek taviem ienaidniekiem un viņa izstāstīšana taviem pretiniekiem!
Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, began silently to think within himself for about one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. But the king responded, saying, “Belteshazzar, do not let the dream and its interpretation disturb you.” Belteshazzar answered and said, “My lord, the dream is for those who hate you, and its interpretation may be for your enemies.
20 Tas koks, ko tu esi redzējis tik lielu un resnu, un kura augstums sniedzās līdz debesīm, un kas bija redzams pa visu pasauli,
The tree that you saw was lofty and strong; its height reached toward heaven, and it could be seen throughout the whole world.
21 Un kura zari skaisti, un kam bija daudz augļu, un kur barība bija priekš visiem, apakš tā lauka zvēri dzīvoja, un kura zaros putni apakš debess ligzdas taisīja, -
And its branches were very beautiful, and its fruit very abundant, and in it was food for all. Under it, dwelt the beasts of the field, and in its branches, the birds of the air stayed.
22 Tas tu esi, ķēniņ, kas palicis liels un stiprs, jo tava augstība ir tā augusi, ka tā sniedzās līdz debesīm, un tava valstība iet līdz pasaules galam.
It is you, O king, who has been greatly esteemed, and you have grown strong. And you have increased your power, and it reaches towards heaven, and your rule is to the ends of the whole earth.
23 Ka nu ķēniņš vienu sargu, vienu svētu, redzējis no debesīm nākam un sakām: nocērtiet to koku un samaitājiet viņu, bet atstājiet to celmu ar saknēm zemē, bet vara un dzelzs pinekļos laukā zālē, ka viņš no debess rasas top slacināts, un viņa daļa lai ir ar lopiem uz lauka, tiekams septiņi laiki pār viņu paiet; -
Yet the king also saw a watcher and a holy one descend from heaven and say: ‘Cut down the tree and scatter it; however, leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and let it be bound with iron and brass, among the surrounding plants, and let it be sprinkled with the dew of heaven, and let his feeding be with the wild beasts, until seven periods of time pass over him.’
24 Šī ir tā izstāstīšana, kungs ķēniņ, un šis ir tā Visuaugstākā padoms, kas nāks pār manu kungu, ķēniņu:
This is the interpretation of the judgment of the Most High, which has reached my lord, the king.
25 Tu tapsi izstumts no cilvēkiem un dzīvosi pie lopiem laukā, un tev dos ēst zāli kā vēršiem, un debess rasa tevi slacinās, un septiņi laiki paies pār tevi, tiekams tu atzīsti, ka tam Visuaugstākam vara ir pār cilvēku valstīm, tās dot, kam Viņš grib.
They will expel you from among men, and your dwelling will be with the beasts and the wild animals, and you will eat hay like an ox, and you will be drenched with the dew of heaven. Likewise, seven periods of time will pass over you, until you know that the Supreme One rules over the kingdom of men, and he gives it to whomever he wills.
26 Bet kā ir sacīts, lai to celmu ar tā koka saknēm atstāj zemē: tava valsts tev pastāvēs, kad būsi atzinis, ka tas debesu Dievs valda.
But, since he commanded that the stump of its roots, that is, of the tree, should be left behind, your kingdom will be left for you, after you have realized that power is from divinity.
27 Tādēļ, kungs ķēniņ, lai tev mans padoms patīk, un atsvabinājies no saviem grēkiem caur taisnību un no saviem noziegumiem caur žēlastību pret nabagiem, redzi, vai varbūt tava labklāšanās nepastavēs vēl ilgāki. -
Because of this, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you. And redeem your sins with alms, and your iniquities with mercy towards the poor. Perhaps he will forgive your offenses.”
28 Tas viss uzgāja ķēniņam Nebukadnecaram.
All these things came upon king Nebuchadnezzar.
29 Jo pēc divpadsmit mēnešiem, kad Viņš staigāja ķēniņa pilī Bābelē,
After the end of twelve months, he was taking a walk in the palace of Babylon.
30 Tad viņš, tas ķēniņš, runāja un sacīja: vai šī nav tā lielā Bābele, ko es esmu uztaisījis ķēniņam par mājokli caur savas varas stiprumu un par savas augstības godību?
And the king spoke out loud, saying, “Isn’t this the great Babylon, which I have built, as the home of the kingdom, by the strength of my power and in the glory of my excellence?”
31 Šis vārds vēl bija ķēniņa mutē, tad balss no debesīm krita: tev, ķēniņ Nebukadnecar, top sacīts: tava valdība no tevis ir atņemta,
And while the words were still in the king’s mouth, a voice rushed down from heaven, “To you, O king Nebuchadnezzar, it is said: ‘Your kingdom will be taken away from you,
32 Un tu no cilvēkiem tapsi izstumts un tava dzīve būs pie lopiem laukā, tev dos zāli ēst kā vēršiem, un tā paies septiņi laiki, tiekams tu atzīsti, ka tam Visuaugstākam vara ir pār cilvēku valstīm, un viņš tās dod kam gribēdams.
and they will expel you from among men, and your dwelling will be with the beasts and the wild animals. You will eat hay like an ox, and seven times will pass over you, until you know that the Supreme One rules in the kingdom of men, and he gives it to whomever he wills.’”
33 Tai pašā stundā šis vārds notika par Nebukadnecaru, un viņš no cilvēkiem tapa izstumts un ēda zāli kā vērši, un viņa miesas no debess rasas tapa slacinātas, tiekams viņa mati auga kā ērgļu spalvas un viņa nagi kā putnu nagi.
The same hour, the sentence was fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar, and he was driven away from among men, and he ate hay like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until his hair increased like the feathers of eagles, and his nails like those of birds.
34 Un pēc šā laika es, Nebukadnecars, pacēlu savas acis pret debesīm, jo mana saprašana man nāca atpakaļ, un es teicu to Visuaugstāko un slavēju un pagodināju to, kas dzīvo mūžīgi, tāpēc ka Viņa valdība ir mūžīga valdība, un Viņa valstība paliek līdz radu radiem.
Therefore, at the end of these days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my mind was restored to me. And I blessed the Most High, and I praised and glorified him who lives forever. For his power is an everlasting power, and his kingdom is from generation to generation.
35 Un visi zemes iedzīvotāji ir tā kā nekas, un Viņš dara pēc sava prāta ar debesu spēku un ar zemes iedzīvotājiem, un neviena nav, kas Viņa roku varētu aizturēt, vai uz Viņu sacīt: ko Tu dari?
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing before him. For he acts according to his own will, with the inhabitants of the earth just as with the holy inhabitants of heaven. And there is no one who can resist his hand, or say to him, “Why have you done this?”
36 Tanī laikā mans prāts man nāca atpakaļ ir mana valsts godība, mana augstība un mans spožums man nāca atpakaļ un mani runas kungi un varenie mani meklēja un es atkal tapu iecelts savā valstībā, un dabūju vēl lielāku godību.
At the same time, my mind returned to me, and I arrived at the honor and glory of my kingdom. And my appearance was given back to me. And my nobles and my magistrates needed me. And I was restored to my kingdom, and even greater majesty was added to me.
37 Nu es, Nebukadnecars, slavēju un paaugstināju un pagodināju to debesu Ķēniņu, jo visi Viņa darbi ir patiesība un Viņa ceļi taisnība, Viņš ir varens, tos pazemot, kas lepnībā staigā.
Therefore I, Nebuchadnezzar, now praise, and magnify, and glorify the King of heaven, because all his works and the judgments of his way are true, and those who go forth in arrogance, he is able to bring low.
