Daniēla 5
1 Ķēniņš Belsacars taisīja lielas dzīres saviem tūkstoš virsniekiem un dzēra vīnu ar tiem tūkstošiem.
Baltasar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his nobles: and every one drank according to his age.
2 Kad nu Belsacars vīnu bija baudījis, tad viņš pavēlēja, atnest tos zelta un sudraba traukus, ko viņa tēvs Nebukadnecars bija paņēmis no Jeruzālemes Dieva nama, ka ķēniņš un viņa varenie un viņa sievas un viņa liekās sievas no tiem dzertu.
And being now drunk he commanded that they should bring the vessels of gold and silver which Nabuchodonosor his father had brought away out of the temple, that was in Jerusalem, that the king and his nobles, and his wives and his concubines, might drink in them.
3 Tā tie zelta trauki tapa atnesti, kas no Jeruzālemes Dieva nama bija ņemti, un ķēniņš un viņa varenie un viņa sievas un viņa liekās sievas no tiem dzēra.
Then were the golden and silver vessels brought, which he had brought away out of the temple that was in Jerusalem: and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, drank in them.
4 Tie dzēra vīnu un slavēja tos zelta un sudraba, vara, dzelzs, koka un akmens dievus.
They drank wine, and praised their gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, and of wood, and of stone.
5 Tai pašā acumirklī tur iznāca cilvēka rokas pirksti, tie rakstīja pretim lukturim uz ķēniņa pils balto sienu, un ķēniņš redzēja tās rokas pirkstus, kas rakstīja.
In the same hour there appeared fingers, as it were of the hand of a man, writing over against the candlestick upon the surface of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king beheld the joints of the hand that wrote.
6 Tad ķēniņa ģīmis palika bāls un viņa domas to iztrūcināja, un viņa gurni nogura; un viņa lieli drebēja.
Then was the king’s countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him: and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees struck one against the other.
7 Un ķēniņš brēca stipri, lai atved tos vārdotājus, Kaldejus un pareģus; un ķēniņš iesāka un sacīja uz Bābeles gudriem: kas šos rakstus lasīs un tos man izstāstīs, tas taps apģērbts ar purpuru, ar zelta ķēdi ap kaklu, un viņš būs par trešo valdītāju šinī valstī.
And the king cried out aloud to bring in the wise men, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spoke, and said to the wise men of Babylon: Whosoever shall read this writing, and shall make known to me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and shall have a golden chain on his neck, and shall be the third man in my kingdom.
8 Tad visi ķēniņa gudrie nāca iekšā, bet tie tos rakstus nevarēja lasīt, nedz ķēniņam tos izstāstīt.
Then came in all the king’s wise men, but they could neither read the writing, nor declare the interpretation to the king.
9 Tad ķēniņš Belsacars ļoti iztrūcinājās, un viņa ģīmis palika bāls, un viņa varenie izbijās.
Wherewith king Baltasar was much troubled, and his countenance was changed: and his nobles also were troubled.
10 Kad ķēniņiene dzirdēja ķēniņa un viņa vareno vārdus, tad tā iegāja tai istabā, kur tās dzīres bija, un ķēniņiene runāja un sacīja: lai ķēniņš dzīvo mūžīgi, un lai tavas domas tevi neizbiedē, un lai tavs ģīmis nav bāls.
Then the queen, on occasion of what had happened to the king, and his nobles, came into the banquet house: and she spoke and said: O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, neither let thy countenance be changed.
11 Te ir viens vīrs tavā valstī, iekš tā ir to svēto dievu gars, jo tava tēva laikā pie viņa atrasts gaišums un saprašana un gudrība, itin kāda ir dievu gudrība, un tavs tēvs Nebukadnecars to iecēla par virsnieku tiem gudriem, vārdotājiem, Kaldejiem un pareģiem, tavs tēvs, ak ķēniņ!
There is a man in thy kingdom that hath the spirit of the holy gods in him: and in the days of thy father knowledge and wisdom were found in him: for king Nabuchodonosor thy father appointed him prince of the wise men, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers, thy father, I say, O king:
12 Tādēļ ka augsts gars pie tā tapa atrasts un saprašana, izstāstīt sapņus un uzminēt mīklas un izsacīt noslēpumus, proti pie Daniēla, ko ķēniņš lika nosaukt Belsacaru. Aicini nu Daniēli, tas tev to izstāstīs.
Because a greater spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, and interpretation of dreams, and shewing of secrets, and resolving of difficult things, were found in him, that is, in Daniel: whom the king named Baltassar. Now therefore let Daniel be called for, and he will tell the interpretation.
13 Tad Daniēls tapa atvests ķēniņa priekšā. Un ķēniņš iesāka un sacīja uz Daniēli: vai tu esi Daniēls, viens no tiem atvestiem Jūdiem, ko ķēniņš, mans tēvs, no Jūda ir atvedis?
Then Daniel was brought in before the king. And the king spoke, and said to him: Art thou Daniel of the children of the captivity of Juda, whom my father the king brought out of Judea?
14 Es par tevi esmu dzirdējis, ka dievu gars ir iekš tevis, un ka gaisma un saprašana un liela gudrība pie tevis atrodas.
I have heard of thee, that thou hast the spirit of the gods, and excellent knowledge, and understanding, and wisdom are found in thee.
15 Nu manā priekšā ir atvesti tie gudrie un vārdotāji, šos rakstus lasīt un man darīt zināmu viņu izstāstīšanu, bet tie man tos vārdus nav varējuši izstāstīt.
And now the wise men the magicians have come in before me, to read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof: and they could not declare to me the meaning of this writing.
16 Bet par tevi es esmu dzirdējis, ka tu mākot izstāstīt un noslēpumus izsacīt. Nu tad, ja tu šos rakstus māki lasīt un man izstāstīt, tad tu tapsi apģērbts ar purpuru un ar zelta ķēdi ap savu kaklu un būsi tas trešais valdītājs šinī valstī.
But I have heard of thee, that thou canst interpret obscure things, and resolve difficult things: now if thou art able to read the writing, and to shew me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and shalt have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third prince in my kingdom.
17 Tad Daniēls atbildēja un sacīja ķēniņa priekšā: paturi sev savas dāvanas un dod savas mantas citam; bet es tomēr tos rakstus ķēniņam lasīšu un viņam tos izstāstīšu.
To which Daniel made answer, and said before the king: Thy rewards be to thyself, and the gifts of thy house give to another: but the writing I will read to thee, O king, and shew thee the interpretation thereof.
18 Kungs ķēniņ! Dievs, tas visuaugstais tavam tēvam Nebukadnecaram ir devis valstību un varu, godu un augstību.
O king, the most high God gave to Nabuchodonosor thy father a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honour.
19 Un tās augstības dēļ ko viņš tam bija devis, drebēja un trīcēja visi ļaudis, visas tautas un mēles viņa priekšā. Ko gribēja, to viņš nokāva, un ko gribēja, to viņš paturēja dzīvu, un ko gribēja, to viņš paaugstināja, un ko gribēja, to viņš pazemoja.
And for the greatness that he gave to him, all people, tribes, and languages trembled, and were afraid of him: whom he would, he slew: and whom he would, he destroyed: and whom he would, he set up: and whom he would, he brought down.
20 Bet kad viņa sirds metās lepna, un viņa gars apcietinājās līdz pārgalvībai, tad viņš no savas valstības krēsla tapa nostumts un viņa gods tapa atņemts.
But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit hardened unto pride, he was put down from the throne of his kingdom, and his glory was taken away.
21 Un viņš no cilvēku bērniem tapa izstumts, un viņa sirds palika kā lopa sirds, un viņam bija jādzīvo pie meža ēzeļiem, un zāle jāēd kā vēršiem, un viņa miesa no debess rasas tapa slacināta, tiekams viņš atzina, ka tas visu augstākais Dievs ir valdītājs pār cilvēku valstīm un ieceļ pār tām, kuru gribēdams.
And he was driven out from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses, and he did eat grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven: till he knew that the most High ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he will set over it whomsoever it shall please him.
22 Un tu, Belsacar, viņa dēls, neesi pazemojis savu sirdi, jebšu tu visu gan labi esi zinājis,
Thou also his son, O Baltasar, hast not humbled thy heart, whereas thou knewest all these things:
23 Bet esi cēlies pret to debesu Kungu, un Viņa nama trauki ir atnesti tavā priekšā, un tu un tavi varenie un tavas sievas un tavas liekās sievas no tiem esat vīnu dzēruši un slavējuši tos sudraba un zelta, vara, dzelzs, koka un akmens dievus, kas nedz redz nedz dzird nedz saprot; bet to Dievu, kam rokā tava dvaša un pie kā stāv visi tavi ceļi, Tam tu neesi godu devis.
But hast lifted thyself up against the Lord of heaven: and the vessels of his house have been brought before thee: and thou, and thy nobles, and thy wives, and thy concubines have drunk wine in them: and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and of gold, and of brass, of iron, and of wood, and of stone, that neither see, nor hear, nor feel: but the God who hath thy breath in his hand, and all thy ways, thou hast not glorified.
24 Tad tās rokas pirksti no viņa ir sūtīti un šie raksti rakstīti.
Wherefore he hath sent the part of the hand which hath written this that is set down.
25 Un šis ir tas raksts, kas rakstīts: Mene, Mene, Teķel Parsin.
And this is the writing that is written: MANE, THECEL, PHARES.
26 Un šī ir to vārdu izstāstīšana: Mene: - Dievs tavu valstību skaitījis un dara tai galu.
And this is the interpretation of the word. MANE: God hath numbered thy kingdom, and hath finished it.
27 Teķel: - tu svaru kausā esi svērts un esi atrasts visai viegls.
THECEL: thou art weighed in the balance, and art found wanting.
28 Peres: - tava valstība ir dalīta un Mēdiešiem un Persiešiem dota.
PHARES: thy kingdom is divided, and is given to the Medes and Persians.
29 Tad Belsacars pavēlēja, un tie apģērba Daniēli ar purpuru un ar zelta ķēdi ap kaklu, un izsauca par viņu, ka viņš tas trešais valdnieks valstī.
Then by the king’s command Daniel was clothed with purple, and a chain of gold was put about his neck: and it was proclaimed of him that he had power as the third man in the kingdom.
30 Bet tai pašā naktī Kaldeju ķēniņš Belsacars tapa nokauts.
The same night Baltasar the Chaldean king was slain.
31 Un Dārijs, tas Medietis, uzņēma valdību, sešdesmit un divus gadus vecs būdams.
And Darius the Mede succeeded to the kingdom, being threescore and two years old.
