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 in all the 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 these, three presidents — of whom Daniel was one — to whom these satraps should render account, and that the king should suffer no loss.
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.
Now this Daniel surpassed the presidents and the satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to appoint 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 a pretext against Daniel with respect to the kingdom; but they could not find any pretext or fault; inasmuch 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 pretext against this Daniel, unless we find [it] against him touching 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 came in a body 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 prefects, and the satraps, the counsellors, and the governors have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except 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 decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked.
9 Tad ķēniņš Dārijs rakstīja tādu grāmatu un pavēli.
Therefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
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; and, his windows being open in his upper chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled on 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.
But those men came in a body, and found Daniel praying and making 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 spoke before the king concerning the king's decree: Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask [anything] of any god or man within thirty days, except of 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 may not be revoked.
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 they answered and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree 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 distressed thereby, and set his heart on Daniel to save him; and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver 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 came in a body unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree 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. The king spoke and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will save 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 nobles, that the purpose might not 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 concubines 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 with the light at break of day, 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, he cried with a mournful voice unto Daniel: the king spoke and said unto Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, hath thy God whom thou servest continually been able to save thee from the lions?
21 Tad Daniēls sacīja uz ķēniņu: lai ķēniņš dzīvo mūžīgi!
Then Daniel spoke 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, that they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before him innocence 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.
Thereupon 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 believed 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 who had accused Daniel, and cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and broke all their bones in pieces ere 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 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 every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for he is the living God, and steadfast 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 saveth and delivereth, and he worketh signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth: who hath saved Daniel from the power of the lions.
28 Un šis Daniēls palika varens Dārija valstī un arī Kirus, Persiešu ķēniņa, valstī.
And this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
