Daniēla 10
1 Kirus, Persiešu ķēniņa, trešā gadā Daniēlim, kas nosaukts Beltsacars, šī parādīšana tapa parādīta, un tas vārds ir patiesīgs un zīmē lielas bēdas, un viņš to lika vērā un saprata to parādīšanu.
In the third year of the reign of King Cyrus of Persia, a message was revealed to Daniel (also called Belteshazzar). The message was certain and concerned a great conflict. He understood the message and gained understanding of the vision.
2 Tanīs dienās es, Daniēls, biju noskumis cauras trīs nedēļas.
When this happened, I, Daniel, had been in mourning for three full weeks.
3 Gardas barības es neēdu, un ne gaļa ne vīns nenāca manā mutē, es arī nesvaidījos, tiekams trīs veselas nedēļas bija pagājušas.
I ate no fine food. No meat or wine passed my lips. I used no perfumed oils until those three weeks were over.
4 Un pirmā mēneša divdesmit ceturtā dienā es biju Hideķeles lielupes malā.
On the twenty-fourth day of the first month I was standing on the bank of the great River Tigris.
5 Un es pacēlu savas acis un skatījos, un redzi, tur bija vīrs nātnu(linu) drēbēs ģērbts, un viņa gurni bija apjozti ar šķīstu zeltu no Upas.
I looked around and saw a man dressed in linen, and around his waist was a belt of pure gold.
6 Un viņa miesas bija kā krizolita akmens un viņa vaigs kā zibens un viņa acis kā degošas lāpas un viņa rokas un kājas kā degošs varš un viņa valodas balss kā trokšņa skaņa.
His body shone like a jewel; his face was as bright as lightning; his eyes were like blazing torches; his arms and legs gleamed like polished bronze; and his voice sounded like the roar of a crowd.
7 Un es, Daniēls, redzēju to parādīšanu viens pats, bet tie vīri, kas bija pie manis, to neredzēja, bet liela bailība tiem uzgāja, ka tie bēga un paslēpās.
I, Daniel, was the only one to see this vision—the others with me did not see the vision, but they suddenly felt very frightened and ran away to hide themselves.
8 Es tad atliku viens pats un redzēju šo lielo parādīšanu, un pie manis spēka nepalika, un mans vaigs nejauki nobāla, un man spēka vairs neatlika.
I was left alone to see this wonderful vision. My strength drained away, and my face turned pale as death. I didn't have an ounce of strength left.
9 Un es dzirdēju viņa valodas balsi, un kad es viņa valodas balsi dzirdēju, tad es nokritu pamiris uz savu vaigu pie zemes.
I heard him speaking, and when I heard his voice I lost consciousness and I lay face down on the ground.
10 Un redzi, roka mani aizskāra un palīdzēja, ka es pacēlos uz saviem ceļiem un uz savām rokām.
Then a hand touched me and lifted me onto my hands and knees.
11 Un viņš uz mani sacīja: Daniēl, tu mīļais vīrs, ņem vērā tos vārdus, ko es uz tevi runāšu, un celies stāvu, jo tagad es pie tevis esmu sūtīts. Un kad viņš to vārdu ar mani runāja, tad es cēlos trīcēdams.
He said to me, “Daniel, God loves you very much. Pay attention to what I'm telling you. Stand up, because I have been sent to you.” When he told me this I stood up, trembling.
12 Un viņš uz mani sacīja: nebīsties, Daniēl! Jo no tās pirmās dienas, kad tu savā sirdī esi dzinies to saprast un esi mērdējies sava Dieva priekšā, tad tavi vārdi ir paklausīti, un es tavu vārdu dēļ esmu atnācis.
“Don't be afraid, Daniel,” he said. “From the first day you concentrated on trying to understand this, and to humble yourself before God, your prayer was heard, and I have come to answer you.
13 Bet Persiešu valsts valdnieks man stāvēja pretī divdesmit un vienu dienu, un redzi, Miķelis, viens no tiem pirmajiem valdniekiem, man nāca palīgā, tad es tur uzvarēju pie tiem Persiešu ķēniņiem.
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was being detained there by the kings of Persia.
14 Nu es esmu nācis, tev ziņu dot, kas taviem ļaudīm notiks nākamā laikā, jo arī vēl šī parādīšana notiks pēc ilga laika.
Now I've come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the last days, for the vision is about a time in the future.”
15 Un kad viņš šos vārdus ar mani runāja, tad es ar savu vaigu skatījos pie zemes un paliku klusu.
As he told me this I remained there with my face to the ground and couldn't say a word.
16 Un redzi, viens, kas cilvēka bērniem bija līdzīgs, aizskāra manas lūpas. Tad es atdarīju savu muti un sacīju uz to, kas pie manis stāvēja: mans Kungs, par šo parādīšanu mani locekļi dreb, ka man spēka nepaliek.
Then the one who looked like a human being touched my lips and I was able to speak. I told the one standing in front of me, “My lord, since I saw the vision I've been in agony and I feel really weak.
17 Un kā šā sava kunga kalps var runāt ar šo savu kungu, jo no šī laika spēka pie manis nepaliek, un man arī dvašas neatliek.
How can I, your servant, speak to you, my lord? I have no strength, and I can hardly breathe.”
18 Tad atkal viens mani aizskāra, kam bija cilvēka izskats, un mani spēcināja.
Once again the one who looked like a human being touched me and restored my strength.
19 Un viņš sacīja: nebīsties, tu mīļais vīrs! Miers lai ir ar tevi! Un ņemies drošu, drošu prātu! Un viņam ar mani runājot, es atspirgu un sacīju: runā, mans Kungs, jo tu mani esi atspirdzinājis.
“Don't be afraid; God loves you very much. May you have peace! Be strong! Have courage!” As he spoke to me, I became stronger and I said, “My lord, speak to me, for you have strengthened me.”
20 Tad viņš sacīja: vai tu zini, kāpēc es pie tevis esmu nācis? Es nu griezīšos atpakaļ, ar Persiešu valdnieku karot, un kad es būšu izgājis, tad nāks Grieķu valdnieks.
“Do you know why I've come to you?” he asked. “Shortly I will have to go back and fight the prince of Persia, and after that the prince of Greece will come.
21 Bet es tev stāstīšu, kas patiesības rakstos uzrakstīts; un neviena nav, kas mani pret viņiem spēcina, kā vien jūsu valdnieks Miķelis.
But before that I will tell you what is written down in the Book of Truth. No one helps me fight against these princes except Michael your prince.
