< Daniēla 7 >
1 Belsacara, Bābeles ķēniņa, pirmā gadā Daniēls redzēja sapni un savas galvas parādīšanas uz savas gultas. Tad viņš to sapni uzrakstīja, stāstīdams tās svarīgās lietas.
In the first year of the reign of Belshazzar over Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he lay on his bed. He wrote down the dream, and this is the summary of his account.
2 Daniēls iesāka un sacīja: es redzēju savā parādīšanā naktī, un raugi, tie četri debess vēji lauzās uz lielo jūru.
Daniel declared: “In my vision in the night I looked, and suddenly the four winds of heaven were churning up the great sea.
3 Un četri lieli zvēri izkāpa no jūras, ikkatrs savu izskatu.
Then four great beasts came up out of the sea, each one different from the others:
4 Pirmais bija kā lauva, un tam bija kā ērgļu spārni. Es skatījos, tiekams viņam spārni tapa izrauti un tas no zemes tapa uzcelts un stāvēja uz kājām kā cilvēks, un tam tapa dota cilvēka sirds.
The first beast was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man, and given the mind of a man.
5 Un redzi, tur bija cits zvērs itin kā lācis, tas stāvēja vienā malā, un tam bija trīs lieli zobi mutē starp saviem citiem zobiem, un uz to tapa tā sacīts: celies un ēd daudz gaļas.
Suddenly another beast appeared, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. So it was told, ‘Get up and gorge yourself on flesh!’
6 Pēc tam es redzēju, un raugi, tur bija vēl cits zvērs itin kā pardelis(leopards), tam bija četri putnu spārni uz muguras, un šim zvēram bija četras galvas, un tam tapa dota vara.
Next, as I watched, another beast appeared. It was like a leopard, and on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.
7 Un pēc tam es redzēju nakts parādīšanās, un raugi, ceturtais zvērs, briesmīgs un negants un ļoti stiprs, un tam bija lieli dzelzs zobi, tas ēda un satrieca un to, kas atlika, tas samina ar kājām, un tas bija citāds nekā tie citi zvēri priekš viņa, un tam bija desmit ragi.
After this, as I watched in my vision in the night, suddenly a fourth beast appeared, and it was terrifying—dreadful and extremely strong—with large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed; then it trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the beasts before it, and it had ten horns.
8 Un es tos ragus liku vērā, un redzi, vēl viens mazs rags cēlās starp tiem, un viņa priekšā trīs no tiem pirmajiem ragiem tapa izlauzti, un redzi, tanī ragā bija acis kā cilvēka acis un mute, kas lielas lietas runāja.
While I was contemplating the horns, suddenly another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like those of a man and a mouth that spoke words of arrogance.
9 Es skatījos, tiekams krēsli tapa nolikti, un laiku Vecais apsēdās, kam drēbes bija baltas kā sniegs un galvas mati kā šķīsta vilna, Viņa krēsls bija kā uguns liesmas, un Viņa skrituļi bija degošs uguns.
As I continued to watch, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took His seat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze.
10 Un no Viņa priekšas iztecēja uguns upe. Tūkstošu tūkstoši Viņam kalpoja, un desmit reiz' tūkstošu tūkstoši stāvēja Viņa priekšā; tiesa tapa turēta, un grāmatas tapa atvērtas.
A river of fire was flowing, coming out from His presence. Thousands upon thousands attended Him, and myriads upon myriads stood before Him. The court was convened, and the books were opened.
11 Es skatījos tās lielās valodas dēļ, ko tas rags runāja, es skatījos, kamēr tas zvērs tapa nonāvēts un viņa miesa nokauta un nodota, ka ugunī taptu sadedzināta.
Then I kept watching because of the arrogant words the horn was speaking. As I continued to watch, the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire.
12 Arī tiem citiem zvēriem vara tapa atņemta, jo tiem bija laiks un stunda nolikta, cik ilgi tiem bija dzīvot.
As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was removed, but they were granted an extension of life for a season and a time.
13 Es redzēju nakts parādīšanās, un raugi, viens nāca debess padebešos kā Cilvēka Dēls, un nāca pie tā laiku Vecā, un tapa vests Viņa priekšā.
In my vision in the night I continued to watch, and I saw One like the Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into His presence.
14 Un Viņam tapa dota valdība un godība un valstība: visiem ļaudīm, visām tautām un valodām būs Viņam kalpot; Viņa valdība ir mūžīga valdība, kas neiznīkst un Viņa valstībai nav gala.
And He was given dominion, glory, and kingship, that the people of every nation and language should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
15 Man, Daniēlim, sirds miesās nogura, un manas galvas parādīšanas mani iztrūcināja.
I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit, and the visions in my mind alarmed me.
16 Es piegāju pie viena no tiem, kas tur stāvēja, un vaicāju no tā skaidru patiesību par visu to. Un viņš man to izteica un man izstāstīja šīs lietas:
I approached one of those who were standing there, and I asked him the true meaning of all this. So he told me the interpretation of these things:
17 Tie četri lielie zvēri ir četri ķēniņi, kas celsies virs zemes.
‘These four great beasts are four kings who will arise from the earth.
18 Bet tā Visuaugstākā svētie iedabūs to valstību, un to turēs mūžīgi un mūžu mūžam.
But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom and possess it forever—yes, forever and ever.’
19 Pēc tam es gribēju zināt skaidru patiesību par to ceturto zvēru, kas bija citāds nekā visi tie citi, ļoti briesmīgs, kam bija dzelzs zobi un vara nagi, kas rija un satrieca un to, kas atlika, samina ar savām kājām, -
Then I wanted to know the true meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others—extremely terrifying—devouring and crushing with iron teeth and bronze claws, then trampling underfoot whatever was left.
20 Un par viņa desmit ragiem uz viņa galvas, un par to vienu, kas cēlās, priekš kā trīs bija izkrituši, proti par to ragu, kam acis bija un mute, kas lielas lietas runāja, un kas bija lielāks, nekā tie citi.
I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell—the horn whose appearance was more imposing than the others, with eyes and with a mouth that spoke words of arrogance.
21 Es redzēju šo ragu karojam pret tiem svētiem un arī tos pārvaram,
As I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and prevailing against them,
22 Tiekams tas laiku Vecais nāca un tā Visuaugstākā svētiem nesa tiesu, un tas nospriestais laiks nāca, kur tiem svētiem bija iedabūt to valstību.
until the Ancient of Days arrived and pronounced judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for them to possess the kingdom.
23 Viņš sacīja tā: tas ceturtais zvērs būs tā ceturtā valsts virs zemes; tā būs citāda nekā visas citas valstis, un tā aprīs visu pasauli un to samīs un satrieks.
This is what he said: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on the earth, different from all the other kingdoms, and it will devour the whole earth, trample it down, and crush it.
24 Un tie desmit ragi nozīmē, ka no tās valsts celsies desmit ķēniņi, un cits pēc tiem celsies, un tas būs jo varens nekā tie pirmaji un pazemos trīs ķēniņus.
And the ten horns are ten kings who will rise from this kingdom. After them another king, different from the earlier ones, will rise and subdue three kings.
25 Un tas runās vārdus pret to Visuaugstāko un postīs tā Visuaugstākā svētos un apņemsies pārgrozīt svētku laikus un bauslību, un tie viņam taps rokā doti vienu laiku un divus laikus un puslaiku.
He will speak out against the Most High and oppress the saints of the Most High, intending to change the appointed times and laws; and the saints will be given into his hand for a time, and times, and half a time.
26 Pēc tam tiesa taps turēta, un viņam vara atņemta, ka tas pagalam top izdeldēts un iznīcināts.
But the court will convene, and his dominion will be taken away and completely destroyed forever.
27 Bet tā valstība un valdība un augstība pār visām valstīm apakš visām debesīm taps dota tā Visuaugstākā svētiem ļaudīm; tā valstība būs mūžīga valstība, un visi varenie Viņam kalpos un Viņam paklausīs.
Then the sovereignty, dominion, and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven will be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will serve and obey Him.’
28 Tas bija to vārdu gals. Bet es, Daniēls, savās domās tapu iztrūcināts, un mans ģīmis nobāla, un es tos vārdus paturēju savā sirdī
Thus ends the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face turned pale. But I kept the matter to myself.”
