Daniēla 6
1 Un Dārijam patika, iecelt pār valsti simts un divdesmit valdniekus, kas lai būtu pār visu valsti.
It hath been good before Darius, and he hath established over the kingdom satraps — a hundred and twenty — that they may 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 higher than they three presidents, of whom Daniel [is] first, that these satraps may give to them an account, and the king have 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.
Then this Daniel hath been overseer over the presidents and satraps, because that an excellent spirit [is] in him, and the king hath thought to establish him over the whole kingdom.
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 satraps have been seeking to find a cause of complaint against Daniel concerning the kingdom, and any cause of complaint and corruption they are not able to find, because that he [is] faithful, and any error and corruption have not been found in him.
5 Tad tie vīri sacīja: mēs neatradīsim pret Daniēli nekādus iemeslus, ja mēs pret viņu nekā neatrodam viņa Dieva kalpošanā.
Then these men are saying, 'We do not find against this Daniel any cause of complaint, except we have found [it] against him in 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 have assembled near the king, and thus they are saying to him: 'O king Darius, to the ages live!
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.
Taken counsel have all the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects, and the satraps, the counsellors, and the governors, to establish a royal statute, and to strengthen an interdict, that any who seeketh a petition from any god and man until thirty days, save of thee, O king, is cast into a 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, thou dost establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it is not to be changed, as a law of Media and Persia, that doth not pass away.'
9 Tad ķēniņš Dārijs rakstīja tādu grāmatu un pavēli.
Therefore king Darius hath signed the writing and 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 Daniel, when he hath known that the writing is signed, hath gone up to his house, and the window being opened for him, in his upper chamber, over-against Jerusalem, three times in a day he is kneeling on his knees, and praying, and confessing before his God, because that he was doing [it] before this.
11 Tad tie vīri nāca lielā pulkā un atrada Daniēli lūdzam un savu Dievu piesaucam.
Then these men have assembled, and found Daniel praying and entreating grace 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 have come near, yea, they are saying before the king concerning the king's interdict: 'Hast thou not signed an interdict, that any man who seeketh from any god and man until thirty days, save of thee, O king, is cast into a den of lions?' Answered hath the king, and said, 'The thing [is] certain as a law of Media and Persia, that doth not pass away.'
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 have answered, yea, they are saying before the king, that, 'Daniel, who [is] of the sons of the Removed of Judah, hath not placed on thee, O king, [any] regard, nor on the interdict that thou hast signed, and three times in a day he is seeking his petition.'
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 hath heard the matter, is greatly displeased at himself, and on Daniel he hath set the heart to deliver him, and till the going up of the sun he was arranging 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 have assembled near the king, and are saying to the king, 'know, O king, that the law of Media and Persia [is]: That any interdict and statute that the king doth establish is not to 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 hath said, and they have brought Daniel, and have cast [him] into a den of lions. The king hath answered and said to Daniel, 'Thy God, whom thou art serving continually, Himself doth 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 hath been brought and placed at the mouth of the den, and the king hath sealed it with his signet, and with the signet of his great men, that the purpose be not 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 hath the king gone to his palace, and he hath passed the night fasting, and dahavan have not been brought up before him, and his sleep hath fled [from] off him.
19 No rīta agri, ar mazu gaismiņu, ķēniņš cēlās un gāja steigšus pie lauvu bedres.
Then doth the king rise in the early morning, at the light, and in haste to the den of lions he hath gone;
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 at his coming near to the den, to Daniel, with a grieved voice, he crieth. The king hath answered and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, thy God, whom thou art serving continually, is He able to deliver thee from the lions?'
21 Tad Daniēls sacīja uz ķēniņu: lai ķēniņš dzīvo mūžīgi!
Then Daniel hath spoken with the king: 'O king, to the ages live:
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 messenger, and hath shut the lions' mouths, and they have not injured me: because that before Him purity hath been found in me; and also before thee, O king, injury I have not done.'
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 very glad for him, and he hath commanded Daniel to be taken up out of the den, and Daniel hath been taken up out of the den, and no injury hath been found in him, because he hath 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 hath said, and they have brought those men who had accused Daniel, and to the den of lions they have cast them, they, their sons, and their wives; and they have not come to the lower part of the den till that the lions have power over them, and all their bones they have broken small.
25 Tad ķēniņš Dārijs rakstīja visiem ļaudīm, visām tautām un mēlēm, kas visapkārt virs zemes: miers lai jums vairojās!
Then Darius the king hath written to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who are dwelling in all the land: 'Your peace be great!
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.
From before me is made a decree, that in every dominion of my kingdom they are trembling and fearing before the God of Daniel, for He [is] the living God, and abiding to the ages, and His kingdom that which [is] not destroyed, and His dominion [is] unto the end.
27 Viņš atpestī un izglābj un dara brīnumus un zīmes debesīs un virs zemes; tas Daniēli izpestījis no lauvu varas.
A deliverer, and rescuer, and doer of signs and wonders in the heavens and in earth [is] He who hath delivered Daniel from the paw of the lions.'
28 Un šis Daniēls palika varens Dārija valstī un arī Kirus, Persiešu ķēniņa, valstī.
And this Daniel hath prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
