Daniēla 5
1 Ķēniņš Belsacars taisīja lielas dzīres saviem tūkstoš virsniekiem un dzēra vīnu ar tiem tūkstošiem.
Belshazzar the king has made a great feast to one thousand of his great men, and before the one thousand he is drinking wine;
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.
Belshazzar has said—while tasting the wine—to bring in the vessels of gold and of silver that his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, that the king may drink with them, and his great men, his wives, and his concubines.
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 they have brought in the vessels of gold that had been taken out of the temple of the house of God that [is] in Jerusalem, and the king and his great men, his wives and his concubines, have drunk with them;
4 Tie dzēra vīnu un slavēja tos zelta un sudraba, vara, dzelzs, koka un akmens dievus.
they have drunk wine, and have praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, 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 that hour fingers of a man’s hand have come forth, and they are writing in front of the lampstand, on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king is seeing the extremity of the hand that is writing;
6 Tad ķēniņa ģīmis palika bāls un viņa domas to iztrūcināja, un viņa gurni nogura; un viņa lieli drebēja.
then the king’s countenance has changed, and his thoughts trouble him, and the joints of his loins are loosed, and his knees are striking against one another.
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.
The king calls mightily, to bring up the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king has answered and said to the wise men of Babylon, that, “Any man who reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, he puts on purple, and a bracelet of gold [is] on his neck, and he rules third in the kingdom.”
8 Tad visi ķēniņa gudrie nāca iekšā, bet tie tos rakstus nevarēja lasīt, nedz ķēniņam tos izstāstīt.
Then all the wise men of the king are coming up, and they are not able to read the writing, and to make known the interpretation to the king;
9 Tad ķēniņš Belsacars ļoti iztrūcinājās, un viņa ģīmis palika bāls, un viņa varenie izbijās.
then King Belshazzar is greatly troubled, and his countenance is changing in him, and his great men are perplexed.
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.
The queen, on account of the words of the king and his great men, has come up to the banquet-house. The queen has answered and said, “O king, live for all ages; do not let your thoughts trouble you, nor your 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 your kingdom in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods: and in the days of your father, light, and understanding, and wisdom—as the wisdom of the gods—was found in him; and your father King Nebuchadnezzar, chief of the scribes, enchanters, Chaldeans, soothsayers, established him—your father, 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 that an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of enigmas, and loosing of knots was found in him, in Daniel, whose name the king made Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and the interpretation he shows.”
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 has been caused to come up before the king; the king has answered and said to Daniel, “You are that Daniel who [is] of the sons of the expulsion of Judah, whom my father the king brought in out of Judah?
14 Es par tevi esmu dzirdējis, ka dievu gars ir iekš tevis, un ka gaisma un saprašana un liela gudrība pie tevis atrodas.
And I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods [is] in you, and light, and understanding, and excellent wisdom have been found in you.
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, caused to come up before me have been the wise men, the enchanters, that they may read this writing, and its interpretation to cause me to know: and they are not able to show the interpretation of the thing:
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.
and I have heard of you, that you are able to give interpretations, and to loose knots: now, behold—you are able to read the writing, and its interpretation to cause me to know—purple you put on, and a bracelet of gold [is] on your neck, and you rule third in the 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.
Then Daniel has answered and said before the king, “Your gifts be to yourself, and give your fee to another; nevertheless, the writing I read to the king, and the interpretation I cause him to know;
18 Kungs ķēniņ! Dievs, tas visuaugstais tavam tēvam Nebukadnecaram ir devis valstību un varu, godu un augstību.
you, O king, God Most High, a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honor, gave to your father Nebuchadnezzar:
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 because of the greatness that He gave to him, all peoples, nations, and languages were trembling and fearing before him: whom he willed he was slaying, and whom he willed he was keeping alive, and whom he willed he was raising up, and whom he willed he was making low;
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.
and when his heart was high, and his spirit was strong to act proudly, he has been caused to come down from the throne of his kingdom, and his glory they have caused to pass away from him,
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 is driven from the sons of men, and his heart has been like with the beasts, and with the wild donkeys [is] his dwelling; they cause him to eat the herb like oxen, and by the dew of the heavens is his body wet, until he has known that God Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and whom He wills He raises up over it.
22 Un tu, Belsacar, viņa dēls, neesi pazemojis savu sirdi, jebšu tu visu gan labi esi zinājis,
And you, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though all this you have known;
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.
and against the Lord of the heavens you have lifted up yourself; and the vessels of His house they have brought in before you, and you, and your great men, your wives, and your concubines, are drinking wine with them, and gods of silver, and of gold, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone, that are not seeing, nor hearing, nor knowing, you have praised: and the God in whose hand [is] your breath, and all your ways, Him you have not honored.
24 Tad tās rokas pirksti no viņa ir sūtīti un šie raksti rakstīti.
Then from before Him is the extremity of the hand sent, and the writing is noted down;
25 Un šis ir tas raksts, kas rakstīts: Mene, Mene, Teķel Parsin.
and this [is] the writing that is noted down: Numbered, Numbered, Weighed, and Divided.
26 Un šī ir to vārdu izstāstīšana: Mene: - Dievs tavu valstību skaitījis un dara tai galu.
This [is] the interpretation of the thing: Numbered—God has numbered your kingdom, and has finished it.
27 Teķel: - tu svaru kausā esi svērts un esi atrasts visai viegls.
Weighed—You are weighed in the balances, and have been found lacking.
28 Peres: - tava valstība ir dalīta un Mēdiešiem un Persiešiem dota.
Divided—Your kingdom is divided, and it has been 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 Belshazzar has spoken, and they have clothed Daniel with purple, and a bracelet of gold [is] on his neck, and they have proclaimed concerning him that he is the third ruler in the kingdom.
30 Bet tai pašā naktī Kaldeju ķēniņš Belsacars tapa nokauts.
In that night Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans is slain,
31 Un Dārijs, tas Medietis, uzņēma valdību, sešdesmit un divus gadus vecs būdams.
and Darius the Mede has received the kingdom when a son of sixty-two years.
