Daniel 4
1 [Several years after] Nebuchadnezzar [started to rule, he sent this message] to [the people of] every nation and people-group and all language groups in his empire. [He wrote, ] “I wish/hope that everything is going very well with you!
Ķēniņš Nebukadnecars visiem ļaudīm, tautām un mēlēm, kas dzīvo pa visu zemi: miers lai jums ir papilnam!
2 I want you to know about [all] the wonderful miracles [DOU] that the Supreme God has performed for me.
Man ir paticis izsludināt tās zīmes un tos brīnumus, ko tas visuaugstākais Dievs pie manis darījis.
3 He performs great miracles, and does wonderful things. His kingdom will last forever; his rule [over people] will never end.
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 living in my palace. I was living luxuriantly, and everything was going very well for me.
Es, Nebukadnecars, dzīvoju droši savā namā un laimīgi savā pilī.
5 But one night I had a dream that caused me to be very afraid. I saw visions that terrified me as I lay on my bed.
Tad es redzēju sapni, kas mani izbiedēja, un tās domas, ko es savā gultā domāju, un manas galvas parādīšanas mani iztrūcināja.
6 So I summoned all the wise men in Babylon, in order that they would come and tell me what it meant.
Un es pavēlēju visus Bābeles gudros atvest manā priekšā, lai tie man teiktu šī sapņa izstāstīšanu.
7 All the men who worked magic, the fortune-tellers, the men who worked sorcery, and men who studied the stars came to me. I told them what I had dreamed, but they could not tell me what it meant.
Tad tie gudrie, vārdotāji, Kaldeji un pareģi atnāca, un es tiem teicu to sapni, bet tie man to neizstāstīja,
8 Finally, Daniel came to me, and I [decided to] tell him what I had dreamed. One of my officials had given him a new name, Belteshazzar, to honor my own god. I knew that the spirit of the holy gods was in him.
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 So, [using the name that had been given to him], I said, ‘Belteshazzar, you are the most important of all my fortune-tellers. I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and that you can reveal all mysteries. There is none that is too difficult for you. So, tell me what my dream means.
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 This is what I dreamed while I was lying on my bed: I saw a large tree [growing] in the middle of the land.
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 The tree was very strong and had grown very tall; [it seemed that] its top reached up to the sky, with the result that everyone in the world [HYP] could see it.
Tas koks bija liels un resns, un viņa augstums sniedzās līdz debesīm, un tas bija redzams līdz pasaules galam.
12 It had beautiful leaves, and it had produced a lot of fruit for people to eat. Wild animals rested in the shade of that tree, and birds built nests in its branches. All the living creatures everywhere in the world got food from that tree.
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 While I was still lying on my bed, I saw another vision. In the vision I saw a holy angel coming down from heaven.
Un es redzēju savas galvas parādīšanā uz savas gultas, un raugi, svēts sargs nonāca no debesīm.
14 The angel shouted, “Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches! Strip/Shake off all of its leaves, and scatter its fruit. Chase away the animals that are lying in the shade of the tree, and the birds that are in 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 leave the stump of the tree and its roots in the ground. Fasten a band of iron and bronze around the stump, and allow it to stay there with grass around it.”
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 [That tree seems to have represented a man, because the angel also said], “Cause that man to live [out in the fields] among the animals and plants. Cause the dew from the sky to make his body damp [each morning]. Do not allow him to [continue to] have a mind like humans; instead, cause him to have a mind like animals have, for seven years.
Viņa sirds lai top pārvērsta, ka vairs nav cilvēka sirds, un lopa sirds lai viņam top dota, kamēr septiņi laiki paiet pār viņu.
17 The holy angels have decided what must happen. They want to inform everyone that the Supreme God rules over all the kingdoms in this world. He is the one who chooses who will rule these kingdoms. He [sometimes] allows very unimportant people to become rulers.”
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 Belteshazzar, that is what I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw in my dream. Now tell me what the dream means. No one else can tell me. [I asked] all the very wise men in my kingdom [to tell me] what it means, [but they were unable to do that]. But you can [tell me], because 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 I, whose [new] name was Belteshazzar, did not say anything for some time, [because] I was very worried/disturbed [about the meaning of the dream. Finally], the king said to me, “Belteshazzar, do not be afraid about the dream and about what it means.” I replied, “Sir, I wish that the events that were predicted in your dream would happen to your enemies, [and not to 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 [In your dream/vision] you saw a very strong and very tall tree. It [seemed to] reach to the sky, [with the result that] everyone in the world could see it.
Tas koks, ko tu esi redzējis tik lielu un resnu, un kura augstums sniedzās līdz debesīm, un kas bija redzams pa visu pasauli,
21 It had beautiful leaves and it had produced a lot of fruit for people to eat. Wild animals rested in the shade of that tree, and birds built nests in its branches.
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 (Your majesty/O King), that tree [represents] you! You have become very powerful. [It is as though] your greatness reaches up to the sky, and you rule people all over the world.
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 [Then] you saw a holy angel coming down from heaven. That angel said, ‘Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches! Strip/Shake off all of its leaves, and scatter its fruit. But leave the stump of the tree and its roots in the ground. Fasten a band of iron and bronze around the stump and [allow it to stay there] with grass around it. [Each morning] cause the dew from the sky to make this man, [who was represented by the tree], damp. Cause him to live in the fields with the animals for seven years.’
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 (Your Majesty/O King), that is what your dream means. That is what the Supreme God has declared will happen to you.
Šī ir tā izstāstīšana, kungs ķēniņ, un šis ir tā Visuaugstākā padoms, kas nāks pār manu kungu, ķēniņu:
25 [Your advisors] will force you to live away from other people. You will live in the fields with the wild animals. You will eat grass like cows do, and dew from the sky will cause your [body] to be damp/wet [every morning]. You will live that way for seven years, until you learn that it is the Supreme God who rules over the kingdoms of the world, and he appoints the ones whom he chooses [to rule them].
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 But the stump of the tree and its roots were left [in the ground]. That means that you will rule your kingdom again when you learn that it is God [MTY] who is [really] the ruler.
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 (Your Majesty/O King), please do what I am telling you to do. Stop sinning, and do what is right. Turn away from your evil behavior. Act mercifully to poor people. If you do that, perhaps you will continue to be sucessful.”
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 But [the king refused to stop sinning. So what was predicted in the dream is] what happened to him.
Tas viss uzgāja ķēniņam Nebukadnecaram.
29 Twelve months later, [one day] he was walking [on the flat roof] of his palace in Babylon.
Jo pēc divpadsmit mēnešiem, kad Viņš staigāja ķēniņa pilī Bābelē,
30 As he [looked out over/across the city], he said [to those around him], “I have built this great [city of] Babylon to be the place where I rule! I have built it to display my own power, in order [to show people] my glory, to show them that I am very great!”
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 he was still saying this, God [MTY] spoke from heaven and said, “King Nebuchadnezzar, this is what I am saying to you: You are no longer the ruler of this kingdom!
Šis vārds vēl bija ķēniņa mutē, tad balss no debesīm krita: tev, ķēniņ Nebukadnecar, top sacīts: tava valdība no tevis ir atņemta,
32 [Your advisors] will force you to live away from [other] people. You will live in the fields with wild animals, and you will eat grass like cows do. You will live that way for seven years, until you learn that [it is] I, the Supreme God, who rules over the kingdoms of this world, and I appoint the ones whom I have chosen to rule them.”
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 Immediately what [God] predicted happened. Nebuchadnezzar [became insane, so his advisors] forced him to live away from other people. He ate grass like cows [do], and dew from the sky caused his body to be damp/wet [every morning. He lived like that] until his hair was as long as eagles’ feathers, and his fingernails became like birds’ claws.
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 “After those [seven] years ended, I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up toward heaven, [and I acknowledged that what God said was true]. Then I could think correctly again. I praised and worshiped the Supreme God, and I honored him, the one who lives forever. He rules forever; his kingdom will never end.
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 All the people in the world are very insignificant; we are not like him. He has the power to do whatever he wants to do, among the angels in heaven and among us people who live on the earth. [So] no one can stop him [SYN], and no one can [challenge him], saying to him, ‘Why [are you doing these things]?’
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 When I was able to think correctly again, I was honored again, and I [was able to] rule my glorious/great kingdom again. My advisors came to me again [to talk about what should be done], and I became greater and more powerful than I was 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, praise and honor [DOU] [God], the king who rules in heaven. All of his actions are just and right. And he is able to cause to become humble those who are proud, [like I was].”
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.
