Daniēla 9
1 Pirmā gadā, kad Dārijs, Ahasverus dēls, no Mēdiešu dzimuma, bija celts par ķēniņu Kaldeju valstī, -
[Now I am going to tell you about what happened] when Darius, who was from the Mede people-group and who was the son of Xerxes, ruled as the King of Babylonia.
2 Viņa valdīšanas pirmā gadā, es, Daniēls, grāmatā ņēmu vērā to gadu skaitu, par ko Tā Kunga vārds caur pravieti Jeremiju bija noticis, ka Jeruzālemei pilnus septiņdesmit gadus jāstāv postā.
During the first year that he was the king, I, Daniel, was studying/reading the [holy] books/Scriptures the message that Yahweh had given to the prophet Jeremiah. In that message Jeremiah had written that Jerusalem would [be destroyed and] remain ruined for seventy years.
3 Un es griezu savu vaigu pie Dieva, Tā Kunga, Viņu meklēt ar lūgšanām un pielūgšanām, ar gavēšanu maisā un pelnos.
[After I read that], I pleaded to Yahweh my God [to help us], praying and (fasting/abstaining from eating food). [While doing that, I was wearing] rough cloth and [sitting in] ashes [to show that I was very sad about what was going to happen to us].
4 Un es pielūdzu To Kungu, savu Dievu, sūdzēju un sacīju: ak Kungs, stiprais Dievs, Tu lielais un bijājamais, kas derību un žēlastību turi tiem, kas Tevi mīl un tura Tavu bauslību,
I confessed [the sins that we had committed], and [this is what I] prayed: Lord, you are great and awesome! You have faithfully done what you said that you would do for us. You faithfully love those who love you and who do what you have commanded [that they should do].
5 Mēs esam grēkojuši un netaisnību darījuši un bijuši bezdievīgi un esam pretī turējušies un atkāpušies no Taviem baušļiem un no Tavām tiesām.
But we [Israelis] have sinned. We have done things that are wrong. We have done wicked things, and we have rebelled [against you]. We have turned away from [obeying] your commands [DOU].
6 Mēs arī neesam klausījuši Taviem kalpiem, tiem praviešiem, kas Tavā vārdā runājuši uz mūsu ķēniņiem, valdniekiem un mūsu tēviem un visiem zemes ļaudīm.
Your prophets spoke for you [MTY], [giving your messages to] kings, to our other rulers, to our [other] ancestors, and to all the Israeli people, but we have refused to (pay attention to/heed) those prophets.
7 Tu, Kungs, esi taisns, bet mums jākaunas, kā tas šodien redzams, gan Jūda vīriem, gan Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājiem un visiem Israēla bērniem, kas tuvu un kas tālu pa visām zemēm, kur Tu tos esi izdzinis viņu pārkāpšanas dēļ, ar ko tie pret Tevi grēkojuši.
Lord, you always do what is righteous/just/fair, but we have caused ourselves to be ashamed [IDM]. This is [still] true about all of the Israelis who live in Jerusalem and who live in other places in Judea. It is [also] true about all us Israelis whom you scattered, who [were taken to] other countries, some near [Israel] and some far away, because we were very unfaithful/disloyal to you.
8 Ak Kungs, mums jākaunas, ir mūsu ķēniņiem, valdniekiem un mūsu tēviem, ka mēs pret Tevi esam grēkojuši!
Lord, we and our kings and our other rulers and our [other] ancestors have done very shameful things and have sinned against you.
9 Bet pie Tā Kunga, mūsu Dieva, ir žēlastība un piedošana, jebšu mēs Viņam esam pretī turējušies,
Although we have rebelled against you, you act mercifully [toward us] and you [are willing/ready] to forgive us.
10 Un neesam klausījuši Tā Kunga, sava Dieva balsi, staigāt Viņa bauslībā, ko Viņš mums bija devis caur Savu kalpu, to praviešu, roku.
Yahweh our God, when you gave your laws to your prophets who served you, and they told us to conduct our lives according to those laws, we did not (listen to/heed) you.
11 Bet viss Israēls Tavu bausli ir pārkāpis un ir atkāpies, neklausīdams Tavu balsi. Tādēļ tas lāsts mums ir uzgājis, un kas ir zvērēts, kā rakstīts Dieva kalpa Mozus bauslībā, tāpēc ka mēs pret Viņu esam grēkojuši.
All [of us] Israeli people have disobeyed your laws, and we have turned away from [obeying] what you said. We have sinned against you. As a result, [you] have caused us to experience the terrible things that your servant Moses said/wrote [would happen to us] if we sinned against you.
12 Un Viņš savus vārdus ir stipri turējis, ko Viņš runājis pret mums un pret mūsu tiesas kungiem, kas mūs tiesāja, lielu ļaunumu pār mums vezdams, kāds nav noticis apakš visas debess, un kā nu noticis Jeruzālemei.
You warned us and our rulers that you would punish Jerusalem severely by causing a great disaster there, a disaster that would be worse than any disaster that any other city had ever experienced, and you have done what you said that you would do.
13 Kā stāv rakstīts Mozus bauslībā, tā viss tas ļaunums pār mums nācis. Un mēs Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, vaigu nepielūdzām, ka no grēkiem būtu atgriezušies un vērā likuši Tavu patiesību.
[You] punished us just like Moses wrote [that you would do]. But, Yahweh our God, we still have not tried, by turning away from our sinning and by heeding your truth, to persuade you to act mercifully toward us.
14 Tādēļ Tas Kungs ir modrīgs bijis ar ļaunumu un mums to uzvedis, jo Tas Kungs, mūsu Dievs, ir taisns visos Savos darbos, ko Viņš dara, bet mēs Viņa balsi neesam klausījuši.
So, because we did not obey you, you prepared to punish us, and [then] you did punish us, because you always do what is righteous/just/fair.
15 Un nu, Kungs, mūsu Dievs, kas esi izvedis Savus ļaudis no Ēģiptes ar stipru roku un Sev vārdu esi darījis, kā tas vēl šodien ir, mēs esam grēkojuši, mēs esam bijuši bezdievīgi.
O Lord our God, you brought your people out of Egypt by your great power [MTY], and by doing that you have caused people from that time until the present time to know that you are great [IDM] [even though] we have sinned and done wicked things.
16 Ak Kungs, pēc visas Tavas taisnības lai jel Tava dusmība un bardzība nogriežas no Tavas Jeruzālemes pilsētas, no Tava svētā kalna. Jo mūsu grēku dēļ un mūsu tēvu noziegumu dēļ Jeruzāleme un tavi ļaudis tapuši kaunā priekš visiem, kas ap mums dzīvo.
Lord, Jerusalem is your city, and [your temple was built there] on your sacred hill. Now all the people who live in nearby [countries/nations] despise Jerusalem and [us] your people because of our sins and because of the evil things that our ancestors did. But [now], because you do what is righteous/just, [we ask you to] not be angry with Jerusalem any longer.
17 Un nu, mūsu Dievs, klausi Sava kalpa lūgšanu un viņa piesaukšanu, un apgaismo Savu vaigu pār Savu svēto vietu, kas ir postīta, Tevis paša dēļ, ak Kungs;
O Lord our God, listen to what I am praying and pleading [for you to do]. (For your own sake/In order that people will know that you are very great), act kindly [IDM] concerning your temple, which was destroyed [by the armies of Babylonia].
18 Atgriez Savu ausi, ak Dievs, un klausi, atver Savas acis un uzlūko, kā mēs esam postīti, un to pilsētu, kas pēc Tava vārda nosaukta. Jo mēs nometamies ar savām lūgšanām Tavā priekšā, ne uz savu taisnību, bet uz Tavu lielo žēlastību.
My God, listen [to my prayer]. Look [at us] and see our troubles, and see that this city that belongs to you [MTY] has been ruined/destroyed. We are praying to you because you are merciful, not because we have done what is right/good.
19 Ak Kungs, klausi! Ak Kungs, piedod! Ak Kungs, ņem vērā un dari to un nekavējies Tevis paša dēļ, mans Dievs, jo Tava pilsēta un Tavi ļaudis pēc Tava vārda nosaukti.
Lord, listen [to us]! Lord, forgive us! Lord, this city and these people belong to you, so [we plead with you to] heed what we are saying and act [to help us] right now, (for your own sake/in order that people will know that you are very great)!
20 Kamēr es vēl runāju un lūdzos un savus grēkus un savu Israēla ļaužu grēkus sūdzēju un ar savu pielūgšanu nometos Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, priekšā sava Dieva svētā kalna dēļ,
I continued praying and confessing the sins that my people and I had committed, and pleading with Yahweh my God that he would restore [the temple on] the sacred hill [in Jerusalem].
21 Kamēr es tā lūgdamies vēl runāju, steigšus pie manis atskrēja tas vīrs Gabriēls, ko es pirmāk biju redzējis parādīšanā, un aizskāra mani ap vakara upura laiku.
While I was praying, Gabriel, the angel/one whom I had seen in the vision previously, came flying rapidly to me, at the time in the evening when [the priests] offered sacrifices.
22 Un viņš mani mācīja un runāja ar mani un sacīja: Daniēl, tagad es esmu izgājis, tev mācīt saprašanu.
He said to me, “Daniel, I have come to you to enable you to understand [DOU] clearly [the message that God gave to Jeremiah].
23 Kad tu sāki lūgt, tad šis vārds izgāja, un es esmu nācis, to pasludināt; jo tu esi ļoti mīļš. Tādēļ saproti to vārdu un ņem vērā to parādīšanu.
When you began to plead [with God], he gave me a message [to pass on to you]. He loves you very much, so [he has sent me] to tell you what he said to me. So [now] (pay attention/listen carefully) in order that you may understand the meaning of what he revealed [to Jeremiah].
24 Septiņdesmit nedēļas ir nospriestas par tavu tautu un par tavu svēto pilsētu, aizslēgt atkāpšanos, aizzieģelēt grēkus, salīdzināt noziegumu, atvest mūžīgu taisnību, aizzieģelēt parādīšanas un praviešu vārdus un svaidīt visu svētāku.
[God] has determined/declared that there will be 490 years until he frees/saves your people from [the guilt of] their sins and to atone for the evil things that they have done. Then [God] will rule everyone justly, and he will do that forever. And [what you saw in] the vision and what [Jeremiah] prophesied will (come true/be fulfilled), and the sacred temple will be dedicated [to God again].
25 Tādēļ zini un proti: kamēr tas vārds izgājis, Jeruzālemi atkal uzcelt un uztaisīt līdz vienam Svaidītam (Kristum), Valdniekam, ir septiņas nedēļas, un sešdesmit un divas nedēļas, tad atkal uzcels un uztaisīs ar ielām un grāvjiem, jebšu spaidu laikā.
You need to know and understand this: There will be 49 years from the time that [the king] commands that Jerusalem should be rebuilt until the leader/king that God has chosen will come. Then 434 years later, Jerusalem will be rebuilt, and it will have streets and will have a (moat/deep ditch filled with water) around it [to protect the city]. But that will be a time when [God’s people] will have [a lot of] troubles/difficulties/suffering.
26 Un pēc tām sešdesmit un divām nedēļām Svaidītais (Kristus) tiks izdeldēts, bet ne Sevis dēļ. Un to pilsētu un svēto vietu izpostīs kāda valdnieka ļaudis, kas nāks un kam gals būs plūdos, un līdz pat galam būs karš un noliktā postīšana.
After those 434 years, the leader/king whom God has appointed will be killed [when it seems that] he will have accomplished nothing (unjustly/without having done anything wrong). After that, the temple will be destroyed by [the army of] a powerful ruler. The city and the temple will be destroyed like a flood [MET] [destroys everything]. That will be the beginning of the war and destruction that [God] has decreed [will happen].
27 Un viņš ar daudziem derību apstiprinās vienu nedēļu, un nedēļas vidū kaujamais un ēdamais upuris mitēsies, un viņš nāks ar negantības spārniem kā postītājs, kamēr noliktā sodība izgāžas un nobeidz postītāju.
That ruler will make a strong agreement with many people. He will promise to do for seven years what he has said in that agreement. But when that time is half finished, he will prevent [priests from] giving any more offerings and sacrifices [to God]. A disgusting idol will be put on the highest part of the temple, and it will stay there until [God] gets rid of the one who put it there, which is what he said that he would do.”
