Daniēla 6
1 Un Dārijam patika, iecelt pār valsti simts un divdesmit valdniekus, kas lai būtu pār visu valsti.
It pleased Daryavesh to set over the kingdom one hundred twenty satraps, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;
2 Un pār tiem atkal trīs virsniekus, kuru starpā Daniēls bija tas pirmais; tiem tie valdnieki deva atbildēšanu, lai ķēniņam nebūtu rūpes.
and over them three administrators, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account to them, and that the king might not suffer loss.
3 Bet Daniēls bija pārāks par visiem virsniekiem un valdniekiem, tāpēc ka gudrs gars bija iekš viņa, un ķēniņš nodomāja viņu iecelt pār visu valsti.
Then this Daniel was distinguished above the administrators and the satraps, because an extraordinary spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
4 Tad tie virsnieki un valdnieki meklēja iemeslus pret Daniēli tās valdības dēļ. Bet tie nekādu iemeslu nedz vainu nevarēja atrast, jo viņš bija uzticīgs, ka nekādu noziegumu nedz vainu pie viņa neatrada.
Then the administrators and the satraps sought to find a charge against Daniel regarding the kingdom; but they could find no charge or fault, because he was faithful. Neither was there any error or fault found in him.
5 Tad tie vīri sacīja: mēs neatradīsim pret Daniēli nekādus iemeslus, ja mēs pret viņu nekā neatrodam viņa Dieva kalpošanā.
Then these men said, "We will not find any charge against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God."
6 Tad tie virsnieki un valdnieki nāca lielā pulkā pie ķēniņa un tā uz viņu sacīja: lai ķēniņš Dārijs dzīvo mūžīgi!
Then these administrators and satraps assembled together to the king, and said this to him, "King Daryavesh, live forever.
7 Visi valsts virsnieki, priekšnieki, valdnieki, runas kungi un zemes soģi ir sarunājušies, ka ķēniņam būtu jāceļ likums un jāizlaiž stipra pavēle, ka ikviens, kas pa trīsdesmit dienām ko laba lūgs no kaut kāda dieva vai cilvēka, bez vien no tevis, kungs ķēniņ, taptu iemests lauvu bedrē.
All the administrators of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, the counselors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong decree, that whoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
8 Nu tad, kungs ķēniņ, apstiprini šo pavēli, un raksti to grāmatā, ka tā netop pārgrozīta, pēc Mēdiešu un Persiešu neatsaucamiem likumiem.
Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be changed."
9 Tad ķēniņš Dārijs rakstīja tādu grāmatu un pavēli.
Therefore king Daryavesh signed the writing and the decree.
10 Kad nu Daniēls dzirdēja, tādu grāmatu esam rakstītu, tad viņš gāja savā namā, bet viņam bija savā augšistabā atvērti logi pret Jeruzālemi, un viņš par dienu trīs reiz metās ceļos, lūdza, teica un pateicās savam Dievam, tā kā viņš arvienu mēdza darīt.
When Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his chamber toward Jerusalem) and he kneeled on his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before.
11 Tad tie vīri nāca lielā pulkā un atrada Daniēli lūdzam un savu Dievu piesaucam.
Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and petition before his God.
12 Un tie piegāja un runāja ķēniņa priekšā par ķēniņa pavēli: vai tu, ak ķēniņ, neesi likumu rakstījis, ka ikviens, kas pa trīsdesmit dienām no kaut kāda dieva vai cilvēka ko laba lūgs, bez vien no tevis, ķēniņ, taptu iemests lauvu bedrē? Ķēniņš atbildēja un sacīja: tas ir tiesa pēc Mēdiešu un Persiešu neatsaucamiem likumiem.
Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's decree. "Haven't you signed a decree, that every man who shall make petition to any god or man within thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?" The king answered, "The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be changed."
13 Tad tie atbildēja un sacīja ķēniņa priekšā: Daniēls, viens no tiem atvestiem Jūdiem, ķēniņ, nav licis vērā ne tevi, ne tavu pavēli, ko tu esi rakstījis, jo viņš lūdz trīsreiz par dienu savu lūgšanu.
Then they answered and said before the king, "That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, doesn't regard you, O king, nor the decree that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day."
14 Šo valodu dzirdējis, ķēniņš ļoti noskuma un nodarbojās no visas sirds, ka viņš Daniēli izpestītu; - tiekams saule nogāja, viņš to meklēja izglābt.
Then the king, when he heard these words, was very displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him. And he labored until the going down of the sun to rescue him.
15 Bet tie vīri nāca lielā pulkā ķēniņa priekšā un sacīja uz ķēniņu: tu zini, kungs ķēniņ, ka Mēdiešu un Persiešu likumi ir tādi, ka nevienu pavēli, ne likumu, ko ķēniņš ir iecēlis, nevar pārgrozīt.
Then these men assembled together to the king, and said to the king, "Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no decree nor statute which the king establishes may be changed."
16 Tad ķēniņš pavēlēja, Daniēli atvest un iemest lauvu bedrē, un ķēniņš iesāka un sacīja uz Daniēli: tavs Dievs, ko tu bez mitēšanās godā, Tas lai tevi izpestī.
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spoke and said to Daniel, "Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you."
17 Un akmens tapa atnests un likts uz bedres caurumu; to ķēniņš aizzieģelēja ar savu gredzenu un ar savu lielkungu gredzenu, ka tas spriedums par Daniēli netaptu pārgrozīts,
A stone was brought, and placed on the opening of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.
18 Tad ķēniņš nogāja uz savu pili un palika cauru nakti neēdis un nelika sev celt priekšā barību un nevarēja arī gulēt.
Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting; neither were instruments of music brought before him. And his sleep fled from him.
19 No rīta agri, ar mazu gaismiņu, ķēniņš cēlās un gāja steigšus pie lauvu bedres.
Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions.
20 Un pie bedres nācis, viņš Daniēli sauca ar noskumušu balsi: ķēniņš sauca un sacīja uz Daniēli: Daniēl, tu dzīvā Dieva kalps, vai tavs Dievs, ko tu bez mitēšanās godā, tevi varējis izpestīt no lauvām?
When he came near to the den to Daniel, he cried with a lamentable voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, "Daniel, servant of the living God. Is your God, whom you serve continually, able to deliver you from the lions?"
21 Tad Daniēls sacīja uz ķēniņu: lai ķēniņš dzīvo mūžīgi!
Then said Daniel to the king, "O king, live forever.
22 Mans Dievs savu eņģeli sūtījis, tas lauvām aizturējis rīkli, ka tie mani nav ievainojuši, tāpēc ka viņa priekšā esmu atrasts nenoziedzīgs un arī pret tevi, kungs ķēniņ, es nekā ļauna neesmu darījis.
My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me; because before him innocence was found in me; and also before you, O king, have I done no wrong."
23 Tad ķēniņš palika priecīgs un pavēlēja Daniēli no bedres izvilkt; un kad Daniēls no bedres tapa izvilkts, tad nekādas vainas pie viņa neatrada, tāpēc ka viņš savam Dievam bija uzticējies.
Then was the king exceedingly glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
24 Un ķēniņš pavēlēja, tos vīrus atvest, kas Daniēli bija apsūdzējuši, un tos meta lauvu bedrē līdz ar viņu bērniem un sievām, un tie vēl nenonāca dibenā, tad jau tie lauvas tos sagrāba un satrieca visus viņu kaulus.
The king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions overpowered them, and broke all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the den.
25 Tad ķēniņš Dārijs rakstīja visiem ļaudīm, visām tautām un mēlēm, kas visapkārt virs zemes: miers lai jums vairojās!
Then king Daryavesh wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth: "Peace be multiplied to you.
26 No manis nāk pavēle, ka visās manas valsts tiesās būs bīties un drebēt priekš Daniēla Dieva, jo Viņš ir tas dzīvais Dievs un pastāvīgs mūžīgi, un Viņa valstība nav nīcīga un Viņa valdībai nav gala.
I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for he is the living God, and steadfast forever. His kingdom shall not be destroyed; and his dominion shall be to the end.
27 Viņš atpestī un izglābj un dara brīnumus un zīmes debesīs un virs zemes; tas Daniēli izpestījis no lauvu varas.
He delivers and rescues, and he works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions."
28 Un šis Daniēls palika varens Dārija valstī un arī Kirus, Persiešu ķēniņa, valstī.
So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Daryavesh, and in the reign of Koresh the Persian.
