Daniēla 5
1 Ķēniņš Belsacars taisīja lielas dzīres saviem tūkstoš virsniekiem un dzēra vīnu ar tiem tūkstošiem.
Belshazzar the king hath made a great feast to a thousand of his great men, and before the 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 hath said — while tasting the wine — to bring in the vessels of gold and of silver that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, that drink with them may the king, 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 drunk with them have the king and his great men, his wives and his concubines;
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 brass, 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 come forth have fingers of a man's hand, and they are writing over-against the candlestick, 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 hath changed, and his thoughts do trouble him, and the joints of his loins are loosed, and his knees are smiting one against 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.
Call doth the king mightily, to bring up the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. Answered hath the king, and said to the wise men of Babylon, that, 'Any man who doth read this writing, and its interpretation doth shew me, purple he putteth on, and a bracelet of gold [is] on his neck, and third in the kingdom he doth rule.'
8 Tad visi ķēniņa gudrie nāca iekšā, bet tie tos rakstus nevarēja lasīt, nedz ķēniņam tos izstāstīt.
Then coming up are all the wise men of the king, and they are not able to read the writing, and the interpretation to make known to the king;
9 Tad ķēniņš Belsacars ļoti iztrūcinājās, un viņa ģīmis palika bāls, un viņa varenie izbijās.
then the 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, to the banquet-house hath come up. Answered hath the queen, and said, 'O king, to the ages live; let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor 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 in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods: and, in the days of thy father, light, and understanding, and wisdom — as the wisdom of the gods — was found in him; and king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, chief of the scribes, enchanters, Chaldeans, soothsayers, established him — thy 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 doth show.'
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 hath been caused to come up before the king; answered hath the king, and said to Daniel, 'Thou art that Daniel who [art] of the sons of the Removed of Judah, whom the king my father 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 thee, that the spirit of the gods [is] in thee, and light, and understanding, and excellent wisdom have been 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, caused to come up before me have been the wise men, the enchanters, that this writing they may read, and its interpretation to cause me to know: and they are not able to shew 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 — I have heard of thee, that thou art able to give interpretations, and to loose knots: now, lo — thou art able to read the writing, and its interpretation to cause me to know — purple thou dost put on, and a bracelet of gold [is] on thy neck, and third in the kingdom thou dost rule.'
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 hath Daniel answered and said before the king, 'Thy gifts be to thyself, and thy fee to another give; nevertheless, the writing I do 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.
thou, O king, God Most High, a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honour, gave to Nebuchadnezzar thy father:
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 hath 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 from the sons of men he is driven, and his heart with the beasts hath been like, and with the wild asses [is] his dwelling; the herb like oxen they cause him to eat, and by the dew of the heavens is his body wet, till that he hath known that God Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and whom He willeth He raiseth up over it.
22 Un tu, Belsacar, viņa dēls, neesi pazemojis savu sirdi, jebšu tu visu gan labi esi zinājis,
'And thou, his son, Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though all this thou hast 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 thou hast lifted up thyself; and the vessels of His house they have brought in before thee, and thou, and thy great men, thy wives, and thy concubines, are drinking wine with them, and gods of silver, and of gold, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone, that are not seeing, nor hearing, nor knowing, thou hast praised: and the God in whose hand [is] thy breath, and all thy ways, Him thou hast not honoured.
24 Tad tās rokas pirksti no viņa ir sūtīti un šie raksti rakstīti.
'Then from before Him sent is the extremity of the hand, 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 hath numbered thy kingdom, and hath finished it.
27 Teķel: - tu svaru kausā esi svērts un esi atrasts visai viegls.
Weighed — Thou art weighed in the balances, and hast been found lacking.
28 Peres: - tava valstība ir dalīta un Mēdiešiem un Persiešiem dota.
Divided — Divided is thy kingdom, and it hath 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 hath Belshazzar said, 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 hath received the kingdom, when a son of sixty and two years.
