Daniēla 2
1 Un Nebukadnecara valdīšanas otrā gadā Nebukadnecars redzēja sapņus. No tām viņa gars iztrūcinājās, ka viņš no miega uzmodās.
In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, he had dreams. His mind was troubled, and he could not sleep.
2 Un ķēniņš pavēlēja, atsaukt tos gudros un vārdotājus un pareģus un Kaldejus, lai tie ķēniņam izstāstītu viņa sapņus. Un tie nāca un stāvēja ķēniņa priekšā.
Then the king summoned the magicians and those who claimed to speak with the dead. He also called the sorcerers and wise men. He wanted them to tell him about his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.
3 Un ķēniņš uz tiem sacīja: es esmu redzējis sapni, un mans gars ir iztrūcināts, un es gribu to sapni zināt.
The king said to them, “I have had a dream, and my mind is anxious to know what the dream means.”
4 Tad tie Kaldeji uz viņu sacīja kaldejiski: lai ķēniņš dzīvo mūžīgi! Saki saviem kalpiem to sapni, tad mēs to izstāstīsim.
Then the wise men spoke to the king in Aramaic, “King, live forever! Tell the dream to us, your servants, and we will reveal the meaning.”
5 Ķēniņš atbildēja un sacīja uz tiem Kaldejiem: mans vārds ir teikts: ja jūs man nedarīsiet zināmu to sapni un kā viņš izstāstāms, tad jūs tiksiet sasisti gabalos, un jūsu namus darīs par mēslu čupu.
The king replied to the wise men, “This matter has been settled. If you do not reveal the dream to me and interpret it, your bodies will be torn apart and your houses made into rubbish heaps.
6 Bet ja jūs man darīsiet zināmu to sapni un kā tas izstāstāms, tad jūs dabūsiet dāvanas un mantas un lielu godu no manis; tādēļ darāt man zināmu to sapni un kā tas izstāstāms.
But if you will tell me the dream and its meaning, you will receive gifts from me, a reward, and great honor. So tell to me the dream and its meaning.”
7 Tie atbildēja otru reiz' un sacīja: lai ķēniņš saka saviem kalpiem to sapni, tad mēs to izstāstīsim.
They replied again and said, “Let the king tell us, his servants, the dream and we will tell you its meaning.”
8 Ķēniņš atbildēja un sacīja: tiešām, es nomanu, ka jūs tikai laiku gribat vilcināt; jo jūs redzat, ka mans vārds ir teikts.
The king answered, “I know for certain that you want more time because you see how firm my decision is about this.
9 Bet ja jūs man to sapni nesakāt, tad jums nāks tā nospriestā sodība, tāpēc ka jūs esat apņēmušies manā priekšā runāt melus un nieku vārdus, tiekams laiks paiet. Tāpēc sakāt man to sapni, tad es atzīšu, ka jūs arī varēsiet man to izstāstīt.
But if you do not tell me the dream, there is only one sentence for you. You have decided to prepare false and deceptive words that you agreed together to say to me until I change my mind. So then, tell me the dream, and then I will know you can interpret it for me.”
10 Tie Kaldeji ķēniņam atbildēja un sacīja: neviena cilvēka nav virs zemes, kas ķēniņam to lietu varētu sacīt, un nav bijis neviens liels un varens ķēniņš, kas tādu lietu būtu prasījis no kāda zīlnieka vai vārdotāja vai Kaldeja.
The wise men replied to the king, “There is not a man on earth able to meet the king's demand. There is no great and powerful king who has demanded such a thing from any magician, or from anyone who claims to speak with the dead, or from a wise man.
11 Jo šī lieta, ko ķēniņš prasa, ir par daudz grūta, un cita neviena nav, kas ķēniņam to var darīt zināmu, kā tie dievi vien, kas pie cilvēkiem nedzīvo.
What the king demands is difficult, and there is no one who can tell it to the king except the gods, and they do not live among humans.”
12 Par to ķēniņš palika dusmīgs un apskaitās ļoti un pavēlēja, visus gudros Bābelē nokaut.
This made the king angry and very furious, and he gave an order to destroy all those in Babylon who were known for their wisdom.
13 Un pavēle izgāja, tos gudros kaut, un arī Daniēls un viņa biedri tapa meklēti, ka tos nokautu.
So the decree went out that all those who were known for their wisdom were to be put to death. Because of this decree, they searched for Daniel and his friends so they could be put to death.
14 Tad Daniēls gudri un prātīgi atbildēja Ariokam, ķēniņa pils karavīru virsniekam, kas bija izgājis, tos gudros Bābelē nokaut.
Then Daniel replied with prudence and discretion to Arioch the commander of the king's bodyguard, who had come to kill all those in Babylon who were known for their wisdom.
15 Viņš atbildēja un sacīja Ariokam, ķēniņa varenajam: Kāpēc tāda briesmīga pavēle no ķēniņa? Tad Arioks Daniēlim to lietu teica.
Daniel asked the king's commander, “Why is the king's decree so urgent?” So Arioch told Daniel what had happened.
16 Un Daniēls gāja iekšā un lūdza ķēniņu, viņam laiku dot, ka ķēniņam to izstāstīšanu varētu sacīt.
Then Daniel went in and requested an appointment with the king so that he could present the interpretation to the king.
17 Tad Daniēls nogāja savā namā un to sacīja Ananijam, Mišaēlim un Azarijam, saviem biedriem,
Then Daniel went to his house and explained to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, what had happened.
18 Lai tie no tā debesu Dieva žēlastību lūgtu par šo noslēpumu, ka Daniēls un viņa biedri ar tiem vēl atlikušiem gudriem Bābelē netiktu nokauti.
He urged them to seek mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery so that he and they might not be killed with the rest of the men of Babylon who were known for their wisdom.
19 Tad Daniēlim nakts parādīšanā tas noslēpums tapa parādīts.
That night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven
20 Par to Daniēls teica to debesu Dievu, un Daniēls atbildēja un sacīja: slavēts lai ir Dieva vārds mūžīgi mūžam, jo Viņam pieder gudrība un spēks!
and said, “Praise the name of God forever and ever; for wisdom and power belong to him.
21 Jo Viņš pārceļ laikus un stundas, Viņš noceļ ķēniņus un ieceļ ķēniņus, Viņš gudriem dod gudrību un saprašanu prātīgiem.
He changes the times and seasons; he removes kings and places kings on their thrones. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.
22 Viņš parāda dziļas un apslēptas lietas, Viņš zin, kas ir tumsībā, jo pie Viņa mīt gaisma.
He reveals the deep and hidden things because he knows what is in the darkness, and the light lives with him.
23 Es Tevi teicu un slavēju, manu tēvu Dievs, ka Tu man gudrību un spēku esi devis, un man nu esi darījis zināmu, ko mēs no Tevis esam lūguši, jo Tu mums ķēniņa lietu esi darījis zināmu.
God of my ancestors, I thank you and praise you for the wisdom and power you gave to me. Now you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the matter that concerns the king.”
24 Tad Daniēls nogāja pie Arioka, kam ķēniņš bija pavēlējis, tos gudros Bābelē nokaut, - viņš nogāja un tā uz viņu sacīja: nenokauj tos gudros Bābelē; ved mani pie ķēniņa iekšā, jo es ķēniņam to izstāstīšanu darīšu zināmu.
Then Daniel went in to see Arioch (the one the king appointed to kill everyone who was wise in Babylon). He went and said to him, “Do not kill the wise men in Babylon. Take me to the king and I will show the king the interpretation of his dream.”
25 Tad Arioks steigšus ieveda Daniēli iekšā pie ķēniņa un runāja tā uz viņu: es esmu atradis vienu vīru no tiem atvestiem Jūdiem, kas ķēniņam grib sacīt to izstāstīšanu.
Then Arioch quickly brought in Daniel before the king and said, “I have found among the exiles of Judah a man who will reveal the meaning of the king's dream.”
26 Ķēniņš atbildēja un sacīja uz Daniēli, ko sauca par Beltsacaru: vai tu spēji man to sapni stāstīt, ko es esmu redzējis, un arī izstāstīt?
The king said to Daniel (who was called Belteshazzar), “Are you able to tell me the dream that I saw and its meaning?”
27 Daniēls atbildēja ķēniņa priekšā un sacīja: to noslēpumu, ko ķēniņš prasa, to tie gudrie, vārdotāji, zīlnieki un pareģi ķēniņam nevar sacīt.
Daniel answered the king and said, “The mystery that the king has asked about cannot be revealed by those who have wisdom, nor by those who claim to speak with the dead, nor by magicians, and not by astrologers.
28 Bet ir viens Dievs debesīs, kas parāda noslēpumus; Tas ķēniņam Nebukadnecaram dara zināmu, kas notiks nākamos laikos.
Nevertheless, there is a God who lives in the heavens, who reveals mysteries, and he has made known to you, King Nebuchadnezzar, what will happen in the days to come. These were your dream and the visions of your mind as you lay on your bed.
29 Tavs sapnis un kas tavam prātam uz gultas rādījās, ir šis: tu, ķēniņ, uz gultas gulēdams, domāji, kas pēcgalā notiks, un Tas, kas noslēpumus parāda, tev ir darījis zināmu, kas notiks.
As for you, king, your thoughts on your bed were about things to come, and the one who reveals mysteries has made known to you what is about to happen.
30 Man tad tas noslēpums ir parādīts ne caur manu gudrību tā kā tā man būtu lielāka nekā citiem, kas dzīvo, bet tāpēc, ka ķēniņam tā izstāstīšana taptu zināma, un tu savas sirds domas dabūtu zināt.
As for me, this mystery was not revealed to me because of any wisdom that I have more than any other living person. This mystery was revealed to me so that you, king, may understand the meaning, and so that you may know the thoughts deep within you.
31 Tu, ķēniņ, skatījies, un redzi, bija liels tēls; šis tēls bija varens un viņa spožums bija brīnišķīgs; tas stāvēja tavā priekšā un viņa izskats bija briesmīgs.
King, you looked up and you saw a large statue. This statue, which was very powerful and bright, stood before you. Its brightness was terrifying.
32 Šī tēla galva bija no laba zelta, viņa krūtis un rokas no sudraba, viņa vēders un gurni bija no vara,
The head of the statue was made of fine gold. Its breast and arms were of silver. Its middle and its thighs were made of bronze,
33 Viņa lieli no dzelzs, viņa kājas bija puse no dzelzs un puse no māla.
and its legs were made of iron. Its feet were made partly of iron and partly of clay.
34 Šo tu redzēji, tiekams viens akmens taisījās vaļā bez rokām, tas sita to tēlu pie viņa dzelzs un māla kājām, un tās satrieca.
You looked up, and a stone was cut out, although not by human hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay, and it shattered them.
35 Tad uz reizi tapa satriekti dzelzs, māls, varš, sudrabs un zelts, un tapa tāpat kā pelavas uz vasaras kloniem, un vējš tos aiznesa, tā ka vieta tiem netapa atrasta. Bet tas akmens, kas to bija sasitis, palika par lielu kalnu un piepildīja visu zemi.
Then the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold at the same time were broken into pieces and became like the chaff of the threshing floors in the summer. The wind carried them away and there was no trace of them left. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
36 Šis ir tas sapnis. Nu mēs ķēniņam gribam sacīt viņa izstāstīšanu.
This was your dream. Now we will tell the king the meaning.
37 Tu, ķēniņ, esi ķēniņš pār ķēniņiem, jo Tas debesu Dievs tev ir devis valdību, varu, spēku un godu.
You, king, are king of the kings to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, the strength, and the honor.
38 Un visur, kur cilvēki dzīvo, Viņš lopus laukā un putnus apakš debess ir devis tavā rokā un tevi iecēlis par valdītāju pār to visu: tu esi tā zelta galva.
He has given into your hand the place where the human beings live. He has given over the animals of the fields and the birds of the heavens into your hand, and he has made you rule over them all. You are the statue's head of gold.
39 Un pēc tevis celsies cita valsts, mazāka nekā tava. Pēc tās tā trešā valsts no vara; tā valdīs pār visu zemi.
After you, another kingdom will arise that is inferior to you, and yet a third kingdom of bronze will rule over all the earth.
40 Un tā ceturtā valsts būs cieta kā dzelzs. Jo itin kā dzelzs visu satriec un sadauza, tāpat kā dzelzs, kas sadauza, arī šī visas tās sadauzīs un satrieks.
There will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, because iron breaks other things into pieces and shatters everything. It will shatter all these things and crush them.
41 Un ka tu esi redzējis tās kājas un viņu pirkstus pusi no podnieka māla un pusi no dzelzs, tā būs dalīta valsts; taču tur no dzelzs stipruma būs iekšā, tā kā tu esi redzējis dzelzi sajauktu ar podnieka māliem,
Just as you saw, the feet and toes were partly made of baked clay and partly made of iron, so it will be a divided kingdom; some of the strength of iron will be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with the soft clay.
42 Un tos kāju pirkstus pusi no dzelzs un pusi no māla - tā valsts būs uz pusi cieta un uz pusi gļēva.
As the toes of the feet were partly made of iron and partly made of clay, so the kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.
43 Un kā tu esi redzējis dzelzi sajauktu ar podnieka māliem, - tie gan caur cilvēku sadzīvi sajauksies, bet viens pie otra nepielips, itin kā dzelzs nesajaucās ar māliem.
As you saw the iron mixed with soft clay, so the people will be a mixture; they will not stay together, just as iron does not mix with clay.
44 Un šo ķēniņu laikā tas debesu Dievs uzcels valstību, kas mūžīgi netaps izpostīta, un šī valstība netaps atdota nevienai citai tautai; tā satrieks un iznīcinās visas valstis, bet pati viņa pastāvēs mūžīgi.
In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be conquered by another people. It will break the other kingdoms into pieces and put an end to all of them, and it will remain forever.
45 Tāpēc tu esi redzējis, ka no kalna akmens bez rokām attaisījās vaļā, kas satrieca to dzelzi, varu, mālu, sudrabu un zeltu. Tas lielais Dievs ķēniņam ir darījis zināmu, kas pēc šim notiks. Šis ir tiešām tas sapnis un viņa izstāstīšana ir patiesīga.
Just as you saw, a stone was cut out of the mountain, but not by human hands. It broke the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold into pieces. The great God has made known to you, king, what will happen after this. The dream is true and this interpretation is reliable.”
46 Tad ķēniņš Nebukadnecars nometās uz savu vaigu un pielūdza Daniēli un pavēlēja, lai tam nes ēdamus un kvēpināmus upurus.
King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face before Daniel and honored him; he commanded that an offering be made and that incense be offered up to him.
47 Un ķēniņš atbildēja Daniēlim un sacīja: tas ir tiešām tiesa, ka jūsu Dievs ir Dievs pār visiem dieviem un Kungs pār ķēniņiem, un parāda noslēpumus, tāpēc ka tu šo noslēpumu varējis izstāstīt.
The king said to Daniel, “Truly your God is the God of gods, the Lord of kings, and the one who reveals mysteries, for you have been able to reveal this mystery.”
48 Tad ķēniņš Daniēli paaugstināja un tam deva daudz lielas dāvanas un to iecēla par valdītāju pār visu Bābeles valsti un par virsnieku pār visiem Bābeles gudriem.
Then the king made Daniel highly honored and gave him many wonderful gifts. He made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon. Daniel became chief governor over the wisest men of Babylon.
49 Un Daniēls lūdza ķēniņu, un tas iecēla Sadrahu, Mesahu un AbedNegu par valdniekiem pār Bābeles valsti. Bet Daniēls palika ķēniņa pilī.
Daniel made a request of the king, and the king appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to be administrators over the province of Babylon. But Daniel remained at the king's court.
