Daniēla 1
1 Jojaķima, Jūda ķēniņa, trešā valdīšanas gadā Nebukadnecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, nāca uz Jeruzālemi un apmetās pret to.
In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has come to Jerusalem, and lays siege against it;
2 Un Tas Kungs nodeva Jojaķimu, Jūda ķēniņu, viņa rokā un vienu daļu Dieva nama trauku, un viņš tos noveda uz Sineāra zemi sava dieva namā, un tos traukus viņš nolika sava dieva mantu namā.
and the Lord gives into his hand Jehoiakim king of Judah, and some of the vessels of the house of God, and he brings them in [to] the land of Shinar, [to] the house of his god, and the vessels he has brought in [to] the treasure-house of his god.
3 Un ķēniņš sacīja uz Aspenasu, savu kambarjunkuru uzraugu, lai no Israēla bērniem, no ķēniņu un lielkungu dzimuma izlasa
And the king says, to Ashpenaz master of his eunuchs, to bring in out of the sons of Israel (even of the royal seed, and of the chiefs),
4 Jaunekļus, kas bez vainas, skaistus vaigā un samanīgus visādā gudrībā un labi mācītus un kam gudrs prāts, un kas būtu derīgi ķēniņa pilī stāvēt, ka tie taptu mācīti Kaldeju rakstā un valodā.
boys in whom there is no blemish, and of good appearance, and skillful in all wisdom, and possessing knowledge, and teaching thought, and who have ability to stand in the palace of the king, and to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans.
5 Un ķēniņš tiem sprieda, ko tiem ikdienas būs dot no ķēniņa ēdiena un no tā vīna, ko pats dzēra, un ka tie trīs gadus tā taptu audzināti, un ka pēc stāvētu ķēniņa priekšā.
And the king appoints for them a rate, day by day, of the king’s portion of food, and of the wine of his drinking, so as to nourish them three years, that at the end thereof they may stand before the king.
6 Starp tiem nu bija no Jūda bērniem Daniēls, Ananija, Mišaēls un Azarija.
And there are among them out of the sons of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
7 Un kambarjunkuru uzraugs tiem deva citus vārdus un nosauca Daniēli par Beltsacaru un Ananiju par Sadrahu un Mišaēli par Mesahu un Azariju par AbedNegu.
and the chief of the eunuchs sets names on them, and he sets on Daniel, Belteshazzar; and on Hananiah, Shadrach; and on Mishael, Meshach; and on Azariah, Abed-Nego.
8 Bet Daniēls apņēmās savā sirdī, nesagānīties ar ķēniņa ēdienu nedz ar to vīnu, ko viņš dzēra, tādēļ tas lūdza kambarjunkuru uzraugam, lai viņam atļautu nesagānīties.
And Daniel purposes in his heart that he will not defile himself with the king’s portion of food, and with the wine of his drinking, and he seeks of the chief of the eunuchs that he may not defile himself.
9 Un Dievs Daniēlim deva žēlastību un apžēlošanu kambarjunkuru uzrauga priekšā.
And God gives Daniel for kindness and for mercies before the chief of the eunuchs;
10 Un kambarjunkuru uzraugs sacīja uz Daniēli: es bīstos savu kungu, ķēniņu, kas jūsu ēdienu un dzērienu tā nospriedis, ka viņš neierauga, ka jūsu vaigi vājāki nekā to citu jaunekļu, kas jūsu vecumā. Tad jūs pār manu galvu vestu gatavu nāvi no ķēniņa.
and the chief of the eunuchs says to Daniel, “I am fearing my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink, for why does he see your faces sadder than [those of] the boys which [are] of your circle? Then you have made my head indebted to the king,”
11 Bet Daniēls sacīja uz to barības sargu, ko kambarjunkuru uzraugs bija iecēlis pār Daniēli, Ananiju, Mišaēli un Azariju:
And Daniel says to the Meltzar, whom the chief of the eunuchs has appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
12 Raugi jel saviem kalpiem dot kādas desmit dienas zemes augļus ēst un ūdeni dzert.
“Please try your servants [for] ten days; and they give to us from the vegetables and we eat, and water, and we drink;
13 Un tad lai apskata, kāds mūsu ģīmis būs tavā priekšā, un kāds to jaunekļu ģīmis, kas ķēniņa ēdienu ēd, un dari tad ar saviem kalpiem, kā tu pats redzēsi.
and our appearance is seen before you, and the appearance of the boys who are eating the king’s portion of food, and as you see—deal with your servants.”
14 Un viņš tiem paklausīja šinī lietā un raudzīja desmit dienas ar tiem tā darīt.
And he listens to them, to this word, and tries them ten days:
15 Un pēc desmit dienām tas atrada viņu izskatu skaistāku un viņu miesas pilnīgākas, nekā visu citu jaunekļu, kas ēda no ķēniņa ēdiena.
and at the end of ten days their appearance has appeared better and fatter in flesh then any of the boys who are eating the king’s portion of food.
16 Tad tas barības sargs atņēma to viņiem nospriesto ēdienu un vīnu un tiem deva ēst zemes augļus.
And the Meltzar is taking away their portion of food, and the wine of their drink, and is giving to them vegetables.
17 Un šiem četriem jaunekļiem Dievs deva zināšanu un saprašanu visādā rakstā un gudrībā, bet Daniēlim viņš deva saprast visādas parādīšanas un sapņus.
As for these four boys, God has given to them knowledge and understanding in every [kind of] literature, and wisdom; and Daniel has given instruction about every [kind of] vision and dreams.
18 Un kad tas laiks bija pagājis, ko ķēniņš bija pavēlējis, viņus priekšā vest, tad kambarjunkuru uzraugs tos veda pie Nebukadnecara.
And at the end of the days that the king had said to bring them in, the chief of the eunuchs brings them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
19 Un ķēniņš ar tiem runāja, bet starp visiem neatradās neviena tāda, kā Daniēls, Ananija, Mišaēls un Azarija, un tie kalpoja ķēniņa priekšā.
And the king speaks with them, and there has not been found among them all like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, and they stand before the king;
20 Un visādā gudrībā un zināšanā, ko ķēniņš tiem jautāja, viņš tos atrada desmitkārt pārākus nekā visus zīlniekus un vārdotājus pa visu savu valsti.
and [in] any matter of wisdom [and] understanding that the king has sought of them, he finds them ten hands above all the enchanters, the conjurers, who [are] in all his kingdom.
21 Un Daniēls tur palika līdz ķēniņa Kirus pirmam gadam.
And Daniel is to the first year of Cyrus the king.
