Daniēla 3
1 Ķēniņš Nebukadnecars lika taisīt tēlu no zelta; tam bija augstums sešdesmit olektis, un platums sešas olektis; to viņš uzcēla Bābeles valstī, Duras klajumā.
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was eighty-eight feet seven inches, and its breadth eight feet ten inches: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
2 Un ķēniņš Nebukadnecars sūtīja un sapulcināja lielkungus, valdītājus, zemes soģus, tiesas kungus, uzraugus, runas kungus, tiesnešus un visus valsts valdniekus, ka tie nāktu, to tēlu iesvētīt, ko ķēniņš Nebukadnecars bija uzcēlis.
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the magistrates, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
3 Tad sanāca tie lielkungi, valdītāji, zemes soģi, tiesas kungi, uzraugi, runas kungi, tiesneši un visi valsts valdnieki uz šī tēla iesvētīšanu, ko ķēniņš Nebukadnecars bija uzcēlis, un tie stāvēja tā tēla priekšā, ko Nebukadnecars bija uzcēlis.
Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the magistrates, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
4 Un tas izsaucējs izsauca ar stipru balsi: jums top piekodināts, jūs tautas, ļaudis un valodas,
Then the herald cried aloud, "To you it is commanded, peoples, nations, and languages,
5 Kad jūs dzirdēsiet bazūnes skaņu un trumetes, kokles, vijoles, somastabules, jaukas dziesmas un visādus mūzikas rīkus, tad jums būs nomesties un to zelta tēlu pielūgt, ko ķēniņš Nebukadnecars uzcēlis.
that whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up;
6 Un kas nenometīsies un nepielūgs, tas tai pašā stundā taps iemests degošā ceplī.
and whoever doesn't fall down and worship shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace."
7 Kad nu visi ļaudis dzirdēja bazūnes skaņu un trumetes, kokles, vijoles, somastabules un visādus mūzikas rīkus, tad visi ļaudis, tautas un valodas nometās un pielūdza to zelta tēlu, ko ķēniņš Nebukadnecars bija uzcēlis.
Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
8 Tai pašā laikā kādi Kaldeju vīri piegāja un apsūdzēja Jūdus.
Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and brought accusation against the Jews.
9 Tie iesāka un sacīja uz ķēniņu Nebukadnecaru: lai ķēniņš dzīvo mūžīgi!
They answered Nebuchadnezzar the king, "O king, live for ever.
10 Tu, ķēniņ, esi pavēlējis, ka visiem cilvēkiem, kad tie dzird bazūnes skaņu un trumetes, kokles, vijoles, somastabules, jaukas dziesmas un visādus mūzikas rīkus, būs nomesties un to zelta tēlu pielūgt,
You, O king, have made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image;
11 Un ka to, kas pie zemes nenometīsies un nepielūgs, būs iemest degošā ceplī.
and whoever doesn't fall down and worship shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
12 Te ir Jūdu vīri, ko tu esi iecēlis par Bābeles valsts valdniekiem, Sadrahs, Mesahs un AbedNegus, šie vīri neliek vērā, ko tu, ķēniņ, esi pavēlējis, un negodā tavus dievus un nepielūdz to zelta tēlu, ko tu esi uzcēlis.
There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, have not regarded you: they do not serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up."
13 Tad Nebukadnecars ar dusmām un bardzību pavēlēja atvest Sadrahu, Mesahu un AbedNegu. Un tie vīri tapa atvesti ķēniņa priekšā.
Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king.
14 Tad Nebukadnecars iesāka un uz tiem sacīja: vai jūs, Sadrah, Mesah un AbedNegu, tīši manus dievus necienījāt un to zelta tēlu nepielūdzāt, ko es esmu uzcēlis?
Nebuchadnezzar answered them, "Is it on purpose, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you do not serve my god, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
15 Nu tad, taisāties, kad jūs dzirdēsiet bazūnes skaņu un trumetes, kokles, vijoles, somastabules, jaukas dziesmas un visādus mūzikas rīkus, tad nometaties un pielūdziet to tēlu, ko es esmu taisījis, bet ja jūs to nepielūgsiet, tad jūs tai pašā stundā tapsiet iemesti degošā ceplī; jo kurš ir tas Dievs, kas jūs no manām rokām varētu izpestīt?
Now if you are ready whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music to fall down and worship the image which I have made, well: but if you do not worship, you shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that god that shall deliver you out of my hands?"
16 Tad Sadrahs, Mesahs un AbedNegus atbildēja un sacīja uz ķēniņu Nebukadnecaru: mums nevajag uz šo lietu atbildēt.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, "Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
17 Redzi, mūsu Dievs, ko mēs godājam, gan ir varens mūs izglābt no degoša cepļa un mūs arī izpestīt no tavas rokas, ak ķēniņ.
If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.
18 Un jebšu Viņš to arī nedarītu, taču tev būs zināt, ka mēs tavus dievus negribam godāt nedz pielūgt to zelta tēlu, ko tu esi taisījis.
But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up."
19 Tad Nebukadnecars apskaitās, un viņa vaiga izskats pārvērtās pret Sadrahu, Mesahu un AbedNegu, un viņš atbildēja un pavēlēja, cepli septiņkārt karstāku kurināt nekā to mēdza kurināt.
Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the expression of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Therefore he spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.
20 Un viņš pavēlēja tiem stiprākiem vīriem, kas bija viņa karaspēkā, siet Sadrahu, Mesahu un AbedNegu un iemest degošā ceplī.
He commanded certain mighty men who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
21 Tā šie vīri tapa saistīti ar saviem mēteļiem, kurpēm, cepurēm un citām drēbēm un iemesti degošā ceplī.
Then these men were bound in their cloaks, trousers, their turbans, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
22 Kad nu ķēniņa vārds drīz bija jāizdara un ceplis bija briesmīgi karsts, tad tās liesmas nomaitāja tos vīrus, kas Sadrahu, Mesahu un AbedNegu iemeta.
Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
23 Bet tie trīs vīri, Sadrahs, Mesahs un AbedNegus, iekrita saistīti tai degošā ceplī.
These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
24 Tad ķēniņš Nebukadnecars iztrūcinājās un pacēlās ātri un sacīja uz saviem runas kungiem: vai mēs neesam trīs vīrus saistītus metuši ugunī? Tie atbildēja un sacīja uz ķēniņu: tā tas ir, kungs ķēniņ.
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up quickly. He spoke and said to his ministers, "Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?" They answered the king, "True, O king."
25 Viņš atbildēja un sacīja: raugi, es redzu četrus vīrus vaļā staigājam ugunī, un tiem nekas nekaiš un tā ceturtā izskats ir kā kādam dievu dēlam.
He answered, "Look, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are unharmed; and the aspect of the fourth is like a son of the gods."
26 Tad Nebukadnecars piegāja pie tā degošā cepļa durvīm, iesāka un sacīja: Sadrah, Mesah un AbedNegu, jūs tā visuaugstākā Dieva kalpi, izejiet ārā un nāciet šurp. Tad Sadrahs, Mesahs un AbedNegus izgāja no uguns ārā.
Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace. He spoke and said, "Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, you servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come here." Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came forth out of the midst of the fire.
27 Un tie lielkungi, valdītāji, zemes soģi un ķēniņa runas kungi sapulcinājās, šos vīrus apraudzīt, ka uguns viņu miesas nebija pārvarējis, un ka viņu galvas mati nebija apsviluši, un viņu mēteļi nebija aizskarti, ka arī nekāda deguma smaka pie tiem netapa saosta.
The satraps, the prefects, and the governors, and the king's ministers, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies, nor was the hair of their head singed, neither were their trousers changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them.
28 Tad Nebukadnecars iesāka un sacīja: slavēts lai ir Sadraha, Mesaha un AbedNegus Dievs, kas Savu eņģeli sūtījis un Savus kalpus atpestījis, kas uz Viņu paļāvušies un pārkāpuši ķēniņa vārdu un savas miesas nodevuši, lai citu dievu ne godātu nedz pielūgtu kā vien savu Dievu.
Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel, and delivered his servants who trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
29 Tādēļ es pavēlu, ka visus ļaudis, tautas un mēles, kas Sadraha, Mesaha un AbedNegus Dievu zaimo, būs sasist gabalos un viņu namus darīt par mēslu čupu. Jo cita tāda Dieva nav, kas tā varētu atpestīt;
Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language, which speak anything evil against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be reduced to rubble; because there is no other god who is able to deliver in this way."
30 Un ķēniņš Sadraham, Mesaham un AbedNegum deva lielu varu Bābeles valstī.
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
