Daniēla 6
1 Un Dārijam patika, iecelt pār valsti simts un divdesmit valdniekus, kas lai būtu pār visu valsti.
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;
2 Un pār tiem atkal trīs virsniekus, kuru starpā Daniēls bija tas pirmais; tiem tie valdnieki deva atbildēšanu, lai ķēniņam nebūtu rūpes.
and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account unto them, and that the king should have no damage.
3 Bet Daniēls bija pārāks par visiem virsniekiem un valdniekiem, tāpēc ka gudrs gars bija iekš viņa, un ķēniņš nodomāja viņu iecelt pār visu valsti.
Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
4 Tad tie virsnieki un valdnieki meklēja iemeslus pret Daniēli tās valdības dēļ. Bet tie nekādu iemeslu nedz vainu nevarēja atrast, jo viņš bija uzticīgs, ka nekādu noziegumu nedz vainu pie viņa neatrada.
Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault, forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
5 Tad tie vīri sacīja: mēs neatradīsim pret Daniēli nekādus iemeslus, ja mēs pret viņu nekā neatrodam viņa Dieva kalpošanā.
Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
6 Tad tie virsnieki un valdnieki nāca lielā pulkā pie ķēniņa un tā uz viņu sacīja: lai ķēniņš Dārijs dzīvo mūžīgi!
Then these presidents and satraps assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.
7 Visi valsts virsnieki, priekšnieki, valdnieki, runas kungi un zemes soģi ir sarunājušies, ka ķēniņam būtu jāceļ likums un jāizlaiž stipra pavēle, ka ikviens, kas pa trīsdesmit dienām ko laba lūgs no kaut kāda dieva vai cilvēka, bez vien no tevis, kungs ķēniņ, taptu iemests lauvu bedrē.
All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, the counsellors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong interdict, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
8 Nu tad, kungs ķēniņ, apstiprini šo pavēli, un raksti to grāmatā, ka tā netop pārgrozīta, pēc Mēdiešu un Persiešu neatsaucamiem likumiem.
Now, O king, establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
9 Tad ķēniņš Dārijs rakstīja tādu grāmatu un pavēli.
Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the interdict.
10 Kad nu Daniēls dzirdēja, tādu grāmatu esam rakstītu, tad viņš gāja savā namā, bet viņam bija savā augšistabā atvērti logi pret Jeruzālemi, un viņš par dienu trīs reiz metās ceļos, lūdza, teica un pateicās savam Dievam, tā kā viņš arvienu mēdza darīt.
And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his chamber toward Jerusalem); and he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
11 Tad tie vīri nāca lielā pulkā un atrada Daniēli lūdzam un savu Dievu piesaucam.
Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.
12 Un tie piegāja un runāja ķēniņa priekšā par ķēniņa pavēli: vai tu, ak ķēniņ, neesi likumu rakstījis, ka ikviens, kas pa trīsdesmit dienām no kaut kāda dieva vai cilvēka ko laba lūgs, bez vien no tevis, ķēniņ, taptu iemests lauvu bedrē? Ķēniņš atbildēja un sacīja: tas ir tiesa pēc Mēdiešu un Persiešu neatsaucamiem likumiem.
Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king’s interdict: Hast thou not signed an interdict, that every man that shall make petition unto any god or man within thirty days, save unto thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
13 Tad tie atbildēja un sacīja ķēniņa priekšā: Daniēls, viens no tiem atvestiem Jūdiem, ķēniņ, nav licis vērā ne tevi, ne tavu pavēli, ko tu esi rakstījis, jo viņš lūdz trīsreiz par dienu savu lūgšanu.
Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the interdict that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.
14 Šo valodu dzirdējis, ķēniņš ļoti noskuma un nodarbojās no visas sirds, ka viņš Daniēli izpestītu; - tiekams saule nogāja, viņš to meklēja izglābt.
Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored till the going down of the sun to rescue him.
15 Bet tie vīri nāca lielā pulkā ķēniņa priekšā un sacīja uz ķēniņu: tu zini, kungs ķēniņ, ka Mēdiešu un Persiešu likumi ir tādi, ka nevienu pavēli, ne likumu, ko ķēniņš ir iecēlis, nevar pārgrozīt.
Then these men assembled together unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no interdict nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.
16 Tad ķēniņš pavēlēja, Daniēli atvest un iemest lauvu bedrē, un ķēniņš iesāka un sacīja uz Daniēli: tavs Dievs, ko tu bez mitēšanās godā, Tas lai tevi izpestī.
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. [Now] the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.
17 Un akmens tapa atnests un likts uz bedres caurumu; to ķēniņš aizzieģelēja ar savu gredzenu un ar savu lielkungu gredzenu, ka tas spriedums par Daniēli netaptu pārgrozīts,
And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.
18 Tad ķēniņš nogāja uz savu pili un palika cauru nakti neēdis un nelika sev celt priekšā barību un nevarēja arī gulēt.
Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting; neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep fled from him.
19 No rīta agri, ar mazu gaismiņu, ķēniņš cēlās un gāja steigšus pie lauvu bedres.
Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.
20 Un pie bedres nācis, viņš Daniēli sauca ar noskumušu balsi: ķēniņš sauca un sacīja uz Daniēli: Daniēl, tu dzīvā Dieva kalps, vai tavs Dievs, ko tu bez mitēšanās godā, tevi varējis izpestīt no lauvām?
And when he came near unto the den to Daniel, he cried with a lamentable voice; the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?
21 Tad Daniēls sacīja uz ķēniņu: lai ķēniņš dzīvo mūžīgi!
Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.
22 Mans Dievs savu eņģeli sūtījis, tas lauvām aizturējis rīkli, ka tie mani nav ievainojuši, tāpēc ka viņa priekšā esmu atrasts nenoziedzīgs un arī pret tevi, kungs ķēniņ, es nekā ļauna neesmu darījis.
My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
23 Tad ķēniņš palika priecīgs un pavēlēja Daniēli no bedres izvilkt; un kad Daniēls no bedres tapa izvilkts, tad nekādas vainas pie viņa neatrada, tāpēc ka viņš savam Dievam bija uzticējies.
Then was the king exceeding glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he had trusted in his God.
24 Un ķēniņš pavēlēja, tos vīrus atvest, kas Daniēli bija apsūdzējuši, un tos meta lauvu bedrē līdz ar viņu bērniem un sievām, un tie vēl nenonāca dibenā, tad jau tie lauvas tos sagrāba un satrieca visus viņu kaulus.
And the king commanded, and they brought those men that had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the den.
25 Tad ķēniņš Dārijs rakstīja visiem ļaudīm, visām tautām un mēlēm, kas visapkārt virs zemes: miers lai jums vairojās!
Then king Darius wrote unto all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you.
26 No manis nāk pavēle, ka visās manas valsts tiesās būs bīties un drebēt priekš Daniēla Dieva, jo Viņš ir tas dzīvais Dievs un pastāvīgs mūžīgi, un Viņa valstība nav nīcīga un Viņa valdībai nav gala.
I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, And his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed; and his dominion shall be even unto the end.
27 Viņš atpestī un izglābj un dara brīnumus un zīmes debesīs un virs zemes; tas Daniēli izpestījis no lauvu varas.
He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
28 Un šis Daniēls palika varens Dārija valstī un arī Kirus, Persiešu ķēniņa, valstī.
So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
