< Daniel 5 >

1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his lords, drinking wine before the thousand.
Ķēniņš Belsacars taisīja lielas dzīres saviem tūkstoš virsniekiem un dzēra vīnu ar tiem tūkstošiem.
2 Belshazzar, while he was overcome with wine, gave orders for them to put before him the gold and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar, his father, had taken from the Temple in Jerusalem; so that the king and his lords, his wives and his other women, might take their drink from them.
Kad nu Belsacars vīnu bija baudījis, tad viņš pavēlēja, atnest tos zelta un sudraba traukus, ko viņa tēvs Nebukadnecars bija paņēmis no Jeruzālemes Dieva nama, ka ķēniņš un viņa varenie un viņa sievas un viņa liekās sievas no tiem dzertu.
3 Then they took in the gold and silver vessels which had been in the Temple of the house of God at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his other women, took wine from them.
Tā tie zelta trauki tapa atnesti, kas no Jeruzālemes Dieva nama bija ņemti, un ķēniņš un viņa varenie un viņa sievas un viņa liekās sievas no tiem dzēra.
4 They took their wine and gave praise to the gods of gold and silver, of brass and iron and wood and stone.
Tie dzēra vīnu un slavēja tos zelta un sudraba, vara, dzelzs, koka un akmens dievus.
5 In that very hour the fingers of a man's hand were seen, writing opposite the support for the light on the white wall of the king's house, and the king saw the part of the hand which was writing.
Tai pašā acumirklī tur iznāca cilvēka rokas pirksti, tie rakstīja pretim lukturim uz ķēniņa pils balto sienu, un ķēniņš redzēja tās rokas pirkstus, kas rakstīja.
6 Then the colour went from the king's face, and he was troubled by his thoughts; strength went from his body, and his knees were shaking.
Tad ķēniņa ģīmis palika bāls un viņa domas to iztrūcināja, un viņa gurni nogura; un viņa lieli drebēja.
7 The king, crying out with a loud voice, said that the users of secret arts, the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs, were to be sent for. The king made answer and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever is able to make out this writing, and make clear to me the sense of it, will be clothed in purple and have a chain of gold round his neck, and will be a ruler of high authority in the kingdom.
Un ķēniņš brēca stipri, lai atved tos vārdotājus, Kaldejus un pareģus; un ķēniņš iesāka un sacīja uz Bābeles gudriem: kas šos rakstus lasīs un tos man izstāstīs, tas taps apģērbts ar purpuru, ar zelta ķēdi ap kaklu, un viņš būs par trešo valdītāju šinī valstī.
8 Then all the king's wise men came in: but they were not able to make out the writing or give the sense of it to the king.
Tad visi ķēniņa gudrie nāca iekšā, bet tie tos rakstus nevarēja lasīt, nedz ķēniņam tos izstāstīt.
9 Then King Belshazzar was greatly troubled and the colour went from his face, and his lords were at a loss.
Tad ķēniņš Belsacars ļoti iztrūcinājās, un viņa ģīmis palika bāls, un viņa varenie izbijās.
10 The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came into the house of the feast: the queen made answer and said, O King, have life for ever; do not be troubled by your thoughts or let the colour go from your face:
Kad ķēniņiene dzirdēja ķēniņa un viņa vareno vārdus, tad tā iegāja tai istabā, kur tās dzīres bija, un ķēniņiene runāja un sacīja: lai ķēniņš dzīvo mūžīgi, un lai tavas domas tevi neizbiedē, un lai tavs ģīmis nav bāls.
11 There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father, light and reason like the wisdom of the gods were seen in him: and King Nebuchadnezzar, your father, made him master of the wonder-workers, and the users of secret arts, and the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs;
Te ir viens vīrs tavā valstī, iekš tā ir to svēto dievu gars, jo tava tēva laikā pie viņa atrasts gaišums un saprašana un gudrība, itin kāda ir dievu gudrība, un tavs tēvs Nebukadnecars to iecēla par virsnieku tiem gudriem, vārdotājiem, Kaldejiem un pareģiem, tavs tēvs, ak ķēniņ!
12 Because a most special spirit, and knowledge and reason and the power of reading dreams and unfolding dark sayings and answering hard questions, were seen to be in him, even in Daniel (named Belteshazzar by the king): now let Daniel be sent for, and he will make clear the sense of the writing.
Tādēļ ka augsts gars pie tā tapa atrasts un saprašana, izstāstīt sapņus un uzminēt mīklas un izsacīt noslēpumus, proti pie Daniēla, ko ķēniņš lika nosaukt Belsacaru. Aicini nu Daniēli, tas tev to izstāstīs.
13 Then they took Daniel in before the king; the king made answer and said to Daniel, So you are that Daniel, of the prisoners of Judah, whom my father took out of Judah.
Tad Daniēls tapa atvests ķēniņa priekšā. Un ķēniņš iesāka un sacīja uz Daniēli: vai tu esi Daniēls, viens no tiem atvestiem Jūdiem, ko ķēniņš, mans tēvs, no Jūda ir atvedis?
14 And I have had news of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light and reason and special wisdom have been seen in you.
Es par tevi esmu dzirdējis, ka dievu gars ir iekš tevis, un ka gaisma un saprašana un liela gudrība pie tevis atrodas.
15 And now the wise men, the users of secret arts, have been sent in before me for the purpose of reading this writing and making clear to me the sense of it: but they are not able to make clear the sense of the thing:
Nu manā priekšā ir atvesti tie gudrie un vārdotāji, šos rakstus lasīt un man darīt zināmu viņu izstāstīšanu, bet tie man tos vārdus nav varējuši izstāstīt.
16 And I have had news of you, that you have the power of making things clear, and of answering hard questions: now if you are able to make out the writing and give me the sense of it, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain round your neck and be a ruler of high authority in the kingdom.
Bet par tevi es esmu dzirdējis, ka tu mākot izstāstīt un noslēpumus izsacīt. Nu tad, ja tu šos rakstus māki lasīt un man izstāstīt, tad tu tapsi apģērbts ar purpuru un ar zelta ķēdi ap savu kaklu un būsi tas trešais valdītājs šinī valstī.
17 Then Daniel made answer and said to the king, Keep your offerings for yourself, and give your rewards to another; but I, after reading the writing to the king, will give him the sense of it.
Tad Daniēls atbildēja un sacīja ķēniņa priekšā: paturi sev savas dāvanas un dod savas mantas citam; bet es tomēr tos rakstus ķēniņam lasīšu un viņam tos izstāstīšu.
18 As for you, O King, the Most High God gave to Nebuchadnezzar, your father, the kingdom and great power and glory and honour:
Kungs ķēniņ! Dievs, tas visuaugstais tavam tēvam Nebukadnecaram ir devis valstību un varu, godu un augstību.
19 And because of the great power he gave him, all peoples and nations and languages were shaking in fear before him: some he put to death and others he kept living, at his pleasure, lifting up some and putting others down as it pleased him.
Un tās augstības dēļ ko viņš tam bija devis, drebēja un trīcēja visi ļaudis, visas tautas un mēles viņa priekšā. Ko gribēja, to viņš nokāva, un ko gribēja, to viņš paturēja dzīvu, un ko gribēja, to viņš paaugstināja, un ko gribēja, to viņš pazemoja.
20 But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit became hard with pride, he was put down from his place as king, and they took his glory from him:
Bet kad viņa sirds metās lepna, un viņa gars apcietinājās līdz pārgalvībai, tad viņš no savas valstības krēsla tapa nostumts un viņa gods tapa atņemts.
21 And he was sent out from among the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts', and he was living with the asses of the fields; he had grass for his food like the oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till he was certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives power over it to anyone at his pleasure.
Un viņš no cilvēku bērniem tapa izstumts, un viņa sirds palika kā lopa sirds, un viņam bija jādzīvo pie meža ēzeļiem, un zāle jāēd kā vēršiem, un viņa miesa no debess rasas tapa slacināta, tiekams viņš atzina, ka tas visu augstākais Dievs ir valdītājs pār cilvēku valstīm un ieceļ pār tām, kuru gribēdams.
22 And you, his son, O Belshazzar, have not kept your heart free from pride, though you had knowledge of all this;
Un tu, Belsacar, viņa dēls, neesi pazemojis savu sirdi, jebšu tu visu gan labi esi zinājis,
23 But you have been lifting yourself up against the Lord of heaven, and they have put the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your women, have taken wine in them; and you have given praise to gods of silver and gold, of brass and iron and wood and stone, who are without the power of seeing or hearing, and without knowledge: and to the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways, you have not given glory;
Bet esi cēlies pret to debesu Kungu, un Viņa nama trauki ir atnesti tavā priekšā, un tu un tavi varenie un tavas sievas un tavas liekās sievas no tiem esat vīnu dzēruši un slavējuši tos sudraba un zelta, vara, dzelzs, koka un akmens dievus, kas nedz redz nedz dzird nedz saprot; bet to Dievu, kam rokā tava dvaša un pie kā stāv visi tavi ceļi, Tam tu neesi godu devis.
24 Then the part of the hand was sent out from before him, and this writing was recorded.
Tad tās rokas pirksti no viņa ir sūtīti un šie raksti rakstīti.
25 And this is the writing which was recorded, Mene, tekel, peres.
Un šis ir tas raksts, kas rakstīts: Mene, Mene, Teķel Parsin.
26 This is the sense of the words: Mene; your kingdom has been numbered by God and ended.
Un šī ir to vārdu izstāstīšana: Mene: - Dievs tavu valstību skaitījis un dara tai galu.
27 Tekel; you have been put in the scales and seen to be under weight.
Teķel: - tu svaru kausā esi svērts un esi atrasts visai viegls.
28 Peres; your kingdom has been cut up and given to the Medes and Persians.
Peres: - tava valstība ir dalīta un Mēdiešiem un Persiešiem dota.
29 Then, by the order of Belshazzar, they put a purple robe on Daniel, and a gold chain round his neck, and a public statement was made that he was to be a ruler of high authority in the kingdom.
Tad Belsacars pavēlēja, un tie apģērba Daniēli ar purpuru un ar zelta ķēdi ap kaklu, un izsauca par viņu, ka viņš tas trešais valdnieks valstī.
30 That very night Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldaeans, was put to death.
Bet tai pašā naktī Kaldeju ķēniņš Belsacars tapa nokauts.
31 And Darius the Mede took the kingdom, being then about sixty-two years old.
Un Dārijs, tas Medietis, uzņēma valdību, sešdesmit un divus gadus vecs būdams.
