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.
[Previously, ] during the first year that Belshazzar was the king of Babylonia, I had a dream and a vision one night as I lay on my bed. [The next morning] I wrote down what I had dreamed. This is what I wrote:
2 Daniēls iesāka un sacīja: es redzēju savā parādīšanā naktī, un raugi, tie četri debess vēji lauzās uz lielo jūru.
I, Daniel, had a vision last night. In the vision I saw that strong winds were blowing from all four directions, stirring up [the water in] the ocean.
3 Un četri lieli zvēri izkāpa no jūras, ikkatrs savu izskatu.
Then [I saw] four beasts coming out of the ocean. All four of them were different.
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 one resembled a lion, but it had wings like an eagle has. But as I watched, something tore off its wings {its wings were pulled off}. The beast was left there, standing on its two hind/rear legs, like a human being stands. And it was given a mind like humans have.
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.
The second beast resembled a bear. It was crouching, and it held between its teeth three ribs [from another animal that it had killed and eaten]. Someone said to it {It was told}, “Stand up and eat as much meat [as you want]!”
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.
Then I saw in front of me the third of those beasts. It resembled a leopard, but it had four wings protruding from its back. The wings were like a bird’s wings. It had four heads. It was given the power/authority to rule [people].
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.
In the vision I saw a fourth beast. It was stronger than the other beasts, and it was more terrifying. It crushed other creatures with its huge iron teeth and ate their flesh. The parts of animals that it did not grind with its teeth, it trampled [on the ground]. It was different from the other three beasts: It had ten horns [on its head].
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 looking at those horns, I saw a little horn appear [on the head of that beast]. It tore out three of the other horns. This little horn had eyes like humans have, and it had a mouth [with which it spoke] very boastfully.
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.
[Then] while I watched, thrones were put in the places [where they belonged], and [God], the one who had been living forever, sat on one of the thrones. His clothes were as white as snow, and his hair was as white as pure/clean wool. His throne had wheels that were blazing with fire, and his throne was [also] blazing.
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 fire was rushing out of in front of him like a stream. Many thousands [of people] (OR, [angels]) [were there] serving him, and millions [of other people] (OR, [angels]) were standing in front of him. They started (the court session/judging people), and they opened the books [in which they had written the record of all the good and bad things that people had done].
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.
While I was watching, I could hear the little horn speaking very boastfully. As I [continued to] watch, the [fourth] beast was killed. Its corpse was thrown into a fire and completely burned.
12 Arī tiem citiem zvēriem vara tapa atņemta, jo tiem bija laiks un stunda nolikta, cik ilgi tiem bija dzīvot.
The power/authority of the other [three] beasts was taken away from them, but they were allowed to continue to live for a while.
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.
While I [continued to] see the vision that night, I saw someone who resembled a human being. He was coming [closer to me], surrounded by clouds. Then he was taken to [God], the one who had been living forever.
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.
He was honored and given great authority to rule over all the nations in the world, in order that people from every people-group and every nation, people from all language groups, would worship/serve him. He will rule forever; he will never stop ruling. The kingdom that he rules will never be destroyed.
15 Man, Daniēlim, sirds miesās nogura, un manas galvas parādīšanas mani iztrūcināja.
As for me, Daniel, I was very terrified by what I had seen in that vision, and I did not know what to think about it.
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 went to one of those who were standing in front of the throne of God, and I asked him to tell me what it meant. So he told me the meaning of it.
17 Tie četri lielie zvēri ir četri ķēniņi, kas celsies virs zemes.
[He said], “The four huge beasts represent four kingdoms/empires that will exist on the earth.
18 Bet tā Visuaugstākā svētie iedabūs to valstību, un to turēs mūžīgi un mūžu mūžam.
But the Supreme God will give power/authority to his people [to rule], and they shall rule forever.”
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 what the fourth beast signified—[the beast] that was different from the other three, the beast that crushed [those that it attacked] with its bronze claws, and [then] ate [their flesh] with its iron teeth, and trampled on the parts of their bodies [that it did not eat].
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 about the horn that appeared later, which got rid of three of the other horns. [I wanted to know what it meant that] it had eyes and a mouth with which it spoke very boastfully. [The beast that was represented by] that horn was more terrifying than the other beasts.
21 Es redzēju šo ragu karojam pret tiem svētiem un arī tos pārvaram,
While I was having the vision, I saw that this horn attacked God’s people and was defeating 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.
But then the Supreme God, the one who had been living forever, came and judged in favor of the people who belonged to him. And [I knew that] it was time for God’s people to receive authority [to rule].
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.
[Then] the man who was standing there said [to me], “The fourth beast represents an empire that will exist on the earth; that [empire] will be different from all [other] empires. [The army of] that empire will crush/kill [people all over] the world and trample [on their bodies].
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.
As for its ten horns, they represent ten kings who will rule that empire, [one after the other]. Then another [king] will appear. He will be different from the previous kings. He will defeat the three kings [that were represented by the three horns that were pulled out].
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 revile the Supreme God, and he will oppress God’s people. He will try to change the [sacred] festivals and their [religious] laws/regulations. He will control them for three and a half years.
26 Pēc tam tiesa taps turēta, un viņam vara atņemta, ka tas pagalam top izdeldēts un iznīcināts.
But there will be a session/meeting of the court/judges in heaven, and that king’s authority/power will be taken away, and he will be completely destroyed.
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 all the power and the greatness of all the kingdoms on the earth will be given to the people who belong to the Supreme God. The kingdom that he rules (OR, they rule) will endure forever. And the rulers of all the nations on the earth will serve and obey him (OR, them).”
28 Tas bija to vārdu gals. Bet es, Daniēls, savās domās tapu iztrūcināts, un mans ģīmis nobāla, un es tos vārdus paturēju savā sirdī
That is [what I saw in] my vision/dream. I, Daniel, was terrified, with the result that my face became pale. But I did not tell anyone about the vision [that I had seen].
