< Daniēla 7 >

1 Belsacara, Bābeles ķēniņa, pirmā gadā Daniēls redzēja sapni un savas galvas parādīšanas uz savas gultas. Tad viņš to sapni uzrakstīja, stāstīdams tās svarīgās lietas.
In the first year of Belshazzar's reign as king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream in which visions passed through his mind as he lay in bed. Afterwards he wrote down the dream, describing it in summary form.
2 Daniēls iesāka un sacīja: es redzēju savā parādīšanā naktī, un raugi, tie četri debess vēji lauzās uz lielo jūru.
In my vision that I had that night I saw a tremendous storm, blowing from every direction, stirring up a great sea.
3 Un četri lieli zvēri izkāpa no jūras, ikkatrs savu izskatu.
Four very large beasts were coming up from the sea, every one of them different.
4 Pirmais bija kā lauva, un tam bija kā ērgļu spārni. Es skatījos, tiekams viņam spārni tapa izrauti un tas no zemes tapa uzcelts un stāvēja uz kājām kā cilvēks, un tam tapa dota cilvēka sirds.
The first was like a lion and had the wings of an eagle. As I watched, its wings were torn off and it was pulled upright so it was standing with its hind legs on the ground and it was given the mind of a human being.
5 Un redzi, tur bija cits zvērs itin kā lācis, tas stāvēja vienā malā, un tam bija trīs lieli zobi mutē starp saviem citiem zobiem, un uz to tapa tā sacīts: celies un ēd daudz gaļas.
A second beast appeared, looking like a bear, hunched up on one side and holding three ribs in its mouth with its teeth. It was told, “Get up and eat all the flesh you can.”
6 Pēc tam es redzēju, un raugi, tur bija vēl cits zvērs itin kā pardelis(leopards), tam bija četri putnu spārni uz muguras, un šim zvēram bija četras galvas, un tam tapa dota vara.
After this I saw a third beast. It looked like a leopard with four wings like those of a bird on its back, and it had four heads. It was given power to impose its rule.
7 Un pēc tam es redzēju nakts parādīšanās, un raugi, ceturtais zvērs, briesmīgs un negants un ļoti stiprs, un tam bija lieli dzelzs zobi, tas ēda un satrieca un to, kas atlika, tas samina ar kājām, un tas bija citāds nekā tie citi zvēri priekš viņa, un tam bija desmit ragi.
Then in my vision that I had that night a fourth beast appeared. It was terrifying, frightening, and extremely powerful, with great iron teeth. It tore apart and ate up its victims, and then trampled on what was left. This beast was different to those that came before it, and it had ten horns.
8 Un es tos ragus liku vērā, un redzi, vēl viens mazs rags cēlās starp tiem, un viņa priekšā trīs no tiem pirmajiem ragiem tapa izlauzti, un redzi, tanī ragā bija acis kā cilvēka acis un mute, kas lielas lietas runāja.
As I was wondering about the horns, another horn, a little one, came up between them and three of the earlier horns were pulled out before it. It had human-looking eyes and a mouth that made arrogant boasts.
9 Es skatījos, tiekams krēsli tapa nolikti, un laiku Vecais apsēdās, kam drēbes bija baltas kā sniegs un galvas mati kā šķīsta vilna, Viņa krēsls bija kā uguns liesmas, un Viņa skrituļi bija degošs uguns.
While I was watching, thrones were set up and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothes were white as snow and his hair looked like the purest wool. His throne blazed like flames; its wheels like burning fire.
10 Un no Viņa priekšas iztecēja uguns upe. Tūkstošu tūkstoši Viņam kalpoja, un desmit reiz' tūkstošu tūkstoši stāvēja Viņa priekšā; tiesa tapa turēta, un grāmatas tapa atvērtas.
A stream of fire poured out, flowing from before him. A thousand thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court sat to begin its judgment, and the books were opened.
11 Es skatījos tās lielās valodas dēļ, ko tas rags runāja, es skatījos, kamēr tas zvērs tapa nonāvēts un viņa miesa nokauta un nodota, ka ugunī taptu sadedzināta.
I was watching because of the boasts the little horn was making. I went on watching until that beast was killed and its body destroyed by burning.
12 Arī tiem citiem zvēriem vara tapa atņemta, jo tiem bija laiks un stunda nolikta, cik ilgi tiem bija dzīvot.
The rest of the beasts were allowed to go on living for a season and a time, but their power to rule had been taken away.
13 Es redzēju nakts parādīšanās, un raugi, viens nāca debess padebešos kā Cilvēka Dēls, un nāca pie tā laiku Vecā, un tapa vests Viņa priekšā.
As I continued watching in my vision that I had that night I saw one like a son of man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence.
14 Un Viņam tapa dota valdība un godība un valstība: visiem ļaudīm, visām tautām un valodām būs Viņam kalpot; Viņa valdība ir mūžīga valdība, kas neiznīkst un Viņa valstībai nav gala.
He was given authority, glory, and the power to rule over all people, the different nations and languages, so they would all worship him. His rule is everlasting—it will never cease, and his kingdom will never be destroyed.
15 Man, Daniēlim, sirds miesās nogura, un manas galvas parādīšanas mani iztrūcināja.
I, Daniel, was deeply disturbed—the visions that had passed through my mind frightened me.
16 Es piegāju pie viena no tiem, kas tur stāvēja, un vaicāju no tā skaidru patiesību par visu to. Un viņš man to izteica un man izstāstīja šīs lietas:
I went up to one of the attendants and asked him to explain what all this meant. He said he would explain it so I could understand.
17 Tie četri lielie zvēri ir četri ķēniņi, kas celsies virs zemes.
“These four large beasts symbolize four kingdoms that will rise to power on the earth.
18 Bet tā Visuaugstākā svētie iedabūs to valstību, un to turēs mūžīgi un mūžu mūžam.
But those dedicated to the Most High will eventually receive the kingdom. They will possess the kingdom forever, for ever and ever.”
19 Pēc tam es gribēju zināt skaidru patiesību par to ceturto zvēru, kas bija citāds nekā visi tie citi, ļoti briesmīgs, kam bija dzelzs zobi un vara nagi, kas rija un satrieca un to, kas atlika, samina ar savām kājām, -
Then I wanted to know what the fourth beast stood for—the one that was different to the rest and so terrifying. It had iron teeth and bronze claws, and it tore apart and ate up its victims, trampling on what was left.
20 Un par viņa desmit ragiem uz viņa galvas, un par to vienu, kas cēlās, priekš kā trīs bija izkrituši, proti par to ragu, kam acis bija un mute, kas lielas lietas runāja, un kas bija lielāks, nekā tie citi.
I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head, and the other one that came up later, causing three of the other horns to fall. This horn looked more impressive than the others and had eyes and a mouth that made arrogant boasts.
21 Es redzēju šo ragu karojam pret tiem svētiem un arī tos pārvaram,
I watched as this horn attacked God's dedicated people and was conquering them,
22 Tiekams tas laiku Vecais nāca un tā Visuaugstākā svētiem nesa tiesu, un tas nospriestais laiks nāca, kur tiem svētiem bija iedabūt to valstību.
until the Ancient of Days came and gave judgment in favor of the dedicated people of the Most High, and at that time they took possession of the kingdom.
23 Viņš sacīja tā: tas ceturtais zvērs būs tā ceturtā valsts virs zemes; tā būs citāda nekā visas citas valstis, un tā aprīs visu pasauli un to samīs un satrieks.
Then he told me, “The fourth beast stands for the fourth kingdom to rule the earth. It will be different to all the rest of the kingdoms. The beast will eat up the whole world, trampling it down and crushing it.
24 Un tie desmit ragi nozīmē, ka no tās valsts celsies desmit ķēniņi, un cits pēc tiem celsies, un tas būs jo varens nekā tie pirmaji un pazemos trīs ķēniņus.
The ten horns are ten kings that will come to power from this kingdom. The one who comes later is different from them, and will defeat three of them.
25 Un tas runās vārdus pret to Visuaugstāko un postīs tā Visuaugstākā svētos un apņemsies pārgrozīt svētku laikus un bauslību, un tie viņam taps rokā doti vienu laiku un divus laikus un puslaiku.
He will speak words of defiance against the Most High and oppress the dedicated people of the Most High, and attempt to change times and laws, and they will be placed under his power for a time, two times, and half a time.
26 Pēc tam tiesa taps turēta, un viņam vara atņemta, ka tas pagalam top izdeldēts un iznīcināts.
Then the court will execute judgment and take away his power, destroying it forever.
27 Bet tā valstība un valdība un augstība pār visām valstīm apakš visām debesīm taps dota tā Visuaugstākā svētiem ļaudīm; tā valstība būs mūžīga valstība, un visi varenie Viņam kalpos un Viņam paklausīs.
Then the right to rule, the power, and the greatness of all the kingdoms under heaven will be given to those dedicated to the Most High. His kingdom will last forever, and all who rule will serve and obey him.”
28 Tas bija to vārdu gals. Bet es, Daniēls, savās domās tapu iztrūcināts, un mans ģīmis nobāla, un es tos vārdus paturēju savā sirdī
This is the end of the summary. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts really disturbed me and my face turned pale, but I kept it all to myself.
