< Daniel 4 >

1 Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all the peoples, nations, and languages living in all the earth: May your peace be increased.
Ķēniņš Nebukadnecars visiem ļaudīm, tautām un mēlēm, kas dzīvo pa visu zemi: miers lai jums ir papilnam!
2 It has seemed good to me to make clear the signs and wonders which the Most High God has done with me.
Man ir paticis izsludināt tās zīmes un tos brīnumus, ko tas visuaugstākais Dievs pie manis darījis.
3 How great are his signs! and how full of power are his wonders! his kingdom is an eternal kingdom and his rule goes on from generation to generation.
Jo Viņa zīmes ir lielas un Viņa brīnumi ir vareni, Viņa valstība ir mūžīga valstība un Viņa valdīšana paliek līdz radu radiem.
4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my place, and all things were going well for me in my great house:
Es, Nebukadnecars, dzīvoju droši savā namā un laimīgi savā pilī.
5 I saw a dream which was a cause of great fear to me; I was troubled by the images of my mind on my bed, and by the visions of my head.
Tad es redzēju sapni, kas mani izbiedēja, un tās domas, ko es savā gultā domāju, un manas galvas parādīšanas mani iztrūcināja.
6 And I gave orders for all the wise men of Babylon to come in before me so that they might make clear to me the sense of my dream.
Un es pavēlēju visus Bābeles gudros atvest manā priekšā, lai tie man teiktu šī sapņa izstāstīšanu.
7 Then the wonder-workers, the users of secret arts, the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs came in to me: and I put the dream before them but they did not make clear the sense of it to me.
Tad tie gudrie, vārdotāji, Kaldeji un pareģi atnāca, un es tiem teicu to sapni, bet tie man to neizstāstīja,
8 But at last Daniel came in before me, he whose name was Belteshazzar, after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and I put the dream before him, saying,
Tiekams pēdīgi manā priekšā nāca Daniēls, ko sauc par Beltsacaru pēc mana dieva vārda un iekš kā ir to svēto dievu gars, un es tam teicu to sapni:
9 O Belteshazzar, master of the wonder-workers, because I am certain that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and you are troubled by no secret; this is the dream which I saw: make clear to me its sense.
Beltsacar, gudro virsniek, par ko es zinu, ka svēto dievu gars ir iekš tevis, un nekāds noslēpums tev nav grūts, tad saki nu mana sapņa parādīšanu, ko es esmu redzējis, un viņa izstāstīšanu.
10 On my bed I saw a vision: there was a tree in the middle of the earth, and it was very high.
Bet tas ir, kas manam prātam rādījās uz manas gultas. Es skatījos, un redzi, viens koks bija zemes vidū, un tas bija ļoti augsts.
11 And the tree became tall and strong, stretching up to heaven, and to be seen from the ends of the earth:
Tas koks bija liels un resns, un viņa augstums sniedzās līdz debesīm, un tas bija redzams līdz pasaules galam.
12 Its leaves were fair and it had much fruit, and in it was food enough for all: the beasts of the field had shade under it, and the birds of heaven were resting in its branches, and it gave food to all living things.
Viņa zari bija skaisti, un viņa augļi bagāti, un barība tam bija priekš visiem; zemes zvēri apakš viņa atrada pavēni, un putni apakš debess dzīvoja uz viņa zariem, un visa miesa no tā barojās.
13 In the visions of my head on my bed I saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven,
Un es redzēju savas galvas parādīšanā uz savas gultas, un raugi, svēts sargs nonāca no debesīm.
14 Crying out with a loud voice; and this is what he said: Let the tree be cut down and its branches broken off; let its leaves be taken off and its fruit sent in every direction: let the beasts get away from under it and the birds from its branches:
Tas sauca ar spēku un sacīja tā: nocērtiet to koku un apcērtiet viņa zarus un noplūciet viņa lapas un izkaisiet viņa augļus, lai zvēri apakš viņa aizbēg un putni no viņa zariem aizskrien.
15 But keep its broken end and its roots still in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass; let him have the young grass of the field for food, and let him be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his part be with the beasts.
Bet to celmu ar saknēm atstājiet zemē, bet vara un dzelzs pinekļos, lauka zālē, lai viņš no debess rasas top slacināts, un viņa daļa lai ir kā lopiem zāle laukā.
16 Let his heart be changed from that of a man, and the heart of a beast be given to him; and let seven times go by him.
Viņa sirds lai top pārvērsta, ka vairs nav cilvēka sirds, un lopa sirds lai viņam top dota, kamēr septiņi laiki paiet pār viņu.
17 This order is fixed by the watchers, and the decision is by the word of the holy ones: so that the living may be certain that the Most High is ruler over the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure, lifting up over it the lowest of men.
Tas ir to sargu padoms, kas top sludināts, to svēto spriedums ir tā lieta; lai, kas dzīvo, atzīst, ka tam Visuvaldītājam vara ir pār cilvēku valstību, un viņš to dod, kam gribēdams, un pār to ieceļ to zemāko starp cilvēkiem.
18 This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw; and do you, O Belteshazzar, make clear the sense of it, for all the wise men of my kingdom are unable to make the sense of it clear to me; but you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.
Šo sapni es, ķēniņš Nebukadnecars, esmu redzējis. Tu tad, Beltsacar, izstāsti to, tādēļ ka visi manas valsts gudrie man to nevar izstāstīt, bet tu to gan māki, tāpēc ka svēto dievu gars ir iekš tevis.
19 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was at a loss for a time, his thoughts troubling him. The king made answer and said, Belteshazzar, do not be troubled by the dream or by the sense of it. Belteshazzar, answering, said, My lord, may the dream be about your haters, and its sense about those who are against you.
Tad Daniēls, kam Beltsacars vārdā, iztrūcinājās vienu stundu, un viņa domas viņu izbiedēja. Tad ķēniņš iesāka un sacīja: Beltsacar, lai tas sapnis un viņa izstāstīšana tevi neizbiedē. Beltsacars atbildēja un sacīja: mans kungs, šis sapnis lai notiek taviem ienaidniekiem un viņa izstāstīšana taviem pretiniekiem!
20 The tree which you saw, which became tall and strong, stretching up to heaven and seen from the ends of the earth;
Tas koks, ko tu esi redzējis tik lielu un resnu, un kura augstums sniedzās līdz debesīm, un kas bija redzams pa visu pasauli,
21 Which had fair leaves and much fruit, and had in it food for all; under which the beasts of the field were living, and in the branches of which the birds of heaven had their resting-places:
Un kura zari skaisti, un kam bija daudz augļu, un kur barība bija priekš visiem, apakš tā lauka zvēri dzīvoja, un kura zaros putni apakš debess ligzdas taisīja, -
22 It is you, O King, who have become great and strong: for your power is increased and stretching up to heaven, and your rule to the end of the earth.
Tas tu esi, ķēniņ, kas palicis liels un stiprs, jo tava augstība ir tā augusi, ka tā sniedzās līdz debesīm, un tava valstība iet līdz pasaules galam.
23 And as for the vision which the king saw of a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven, saying, Let the tree be cut down and given to destruction;
Ka nu ķēniņš vienu sargu, vienu svētu, redzējis no debesīm nākam un sakām: nocērtiet to koku un samaitājiet viņu, bet atstājiet to celmu ar saknēm zemē, bet vara un dzelzs pinekļos laukā zālē, ka viņš no debess rasas top slacināts, un viņa daļa lai ir ar lopiem uz lauka, tiekams septiņi laiki pār viņu paiet; -
24 This is the sense of it, O King, and it is the decision of the Most High which has come on my lord the king:
Šī ir tā izstāstīšana, kungs ķēniņ, un šis ir tā Visuaugstākā padoms, kas nāks pār manu kungu, ķēniņu:
25 That they will send you out from among men, to be with the beasts of the field; they will give you grass for your food like the oxen, and you will be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times will go by you, till you are certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure.
Tu tapsi izstumts no cilvēkiem un dzīvosi pie lopiem laukā, un tev dos ēst zāli kā vēršiem, un debess rasa tevi slacinās, un septiņi laiki paies pār tevi, tiekams tu atzīsti, ka tam Visuaugstākam vara ir pār cilvēku valstīm, tās dot, kam Viņš grib.
26 And as they gave orders to let the broken end and the roots of the tree be, so your kingdom will be safe for you after it is clear to you that the heavens are ruling.
Bet kā ir sacīts, lai to celmu ar tā koka saknēm atstāj zemē: tava valsts tev pastāvēs, kad būsi atzinis, ka tas debesu Dievs valda.
27 For this cause, O King, let my suggestion be pleasing to you, and let your sins be covered by righteousness and your evil-doing by mercy to the poor, so that the time of your well-being may be longer.
Tādēļ, kungs ķēniņ, lai tev mans padoms patīk, un atsvabinājies no saviem grēkiem caur taisnību un no saviem noziegumiem caur žēlastību pret nabagiem, redzi, vai varbūt tava labklāšanās nepastavēs vēl ilgāki. -
28 All this came to King Nebuchadnezzar.
Tas viss uzgāja ķēniņam Nebukadnecaram.
29 At the end of twelve months he was walking on the roof of his great house in Babylon.
Jo pēc divpadsmit mēnešiem, kad Viņš staigāja ķēniņa pilī Bābelē,
30 The king made answer and said, Is this not great Babylon, which I have made for the living-place of kings, by the strength of my power and for the glory of my honour?
Tad viņš, tas ķēniņš, runāja un sacīja: vai šī nav tā lielā Bābele, ko es esmu uztaisījis ķēniņam par mājokli caur savas varas stiprumu un par savas augstības godību?
31 While the word was still in the king's mouth, a voice came down from heaven, saying, O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is said: The kingdom has gone from you:
Šis vārds vēl bija ķēniņa mutē, tad balss no debesīm krita: tev, ķēniņ Nebukadnecar, top sacīts: tava valdība no tevis ir atņemta,
32 And they will send you out from among men, to be with the beasts of the field; they will give you grass for your food like the oxen, and seven times will go by you, till you are certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure.
Un tu no cilvēkiem tapsi izstumts un tava dzīve būs pie lopiem laukā, tev dos zāli ēst kā vēršiem, un tā paies septiņi laiki, tiekams tu atzīsti, ka tam Visuaugstākam vara ir pār cilvēku valstīm, un viņš tās dod kam gribēdams.
33 That very hour the order about Nebuchadnezzar was put into effect: and he was sent out from among men, and had grass for his food like the oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hair became long as eagles' feathers and his nails like those of birds.
Tai pašā stundā šis vārds notika par Nebukadnecaru, un viņš no cilvēkiem tapa izstumts un ēda zāli kā vērši, un viņa miesas no debess rasas tapa slacinātas, tiekams viņa mati auga kā ērgļu spalvas un viņa nagi kā putnu nagi.
34 And at the end of the days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifting up my eyes to heaven, got back my reason, and, blessing the Most High, I gave praise and honour to him who is living for ever, whose rule is an eternal rule and whose kingdom goes on from generation to generation.
Un pēc šā laika es, Nebukadnecars, pacēlu savas acis pret debesīm, jo mana saprašana man nāca atpakaļ, un es teicu to Visuaugstāko un slavēju un pagodināju to, kas dzīvo mūžīgi, tāpēc ka Viņa valdība ir mūžīga valdība, un Viņa valstība paliek līdz radu radiem.
35 And all the people of the earth are as nothing: he does his pleasure in the army of heaven and among the people of the earth: and no one is able to keep back his hand, or say to him, What are you doing?
Un visi zemes iedzīvotāji ir tā kā nekas, un Viņš dara pēc sava prāta ar debesu spēku un ar zemes iedzīvotājiem, un neviena nav, kas Viņa roku varētu aizturēt, vai uz Viņu sacīt: ko Tu dari?
36 At the same time my reason came back to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my honour and my great name came back to me; and my wise men and my lords were turned to me again; and I was made safe in my kingdom and had more power than before.
Tanī laikā mans prāts man nāca atpakaļ ir mana valsts godība, mana augstība un mans spožums man nāca atpakaļ un mani runas kungi un varenie mani meklēja un es atkal tapu iecelts savā valstībā, un dabūju vēl lielāku godību.
37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, give worship and praise and honour to the King of heaven; for all his works are true and his ways are right: and those who go in pride he is able to make low.
Nu es, Nebukadnecars, slavēju un paaugstināju un pagodināju to debesu Ķēniņu, jo visi Viņa darbi ir patiesība un Viņa ceļi taisnība, Viņš ir varens, tos pazemot, kas lepnībā staigā.
