< Judges 9 >
1 And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem to his mother's brothers, and spoke with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother's father, saying,
Un Abimeleks, JerubBaāla dēls, gāja uz Šehemi pie savas mātes brāļiem un runāja uz tiem un uz visiem savas mātes tēva nama radiem un sacīja:
2 Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Which is better for you, that all the sons of Jerubbaal, who are seventy men, rule over you, or that one rule over you? Remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.
Runājiet lūdzami priekš visu namnieku ausīm Šehemē: kas jums ir labāki, vai ka septiņdesmit vīri, visi JerubBaāla dēli, pār jums valda, vai ka viens vīrs pār jums valda? Pieminiet, mani arīdzan esam jūsu kaulu un jūsu miesu.
3 And his mother's brothers spoke of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words. And their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech, for they said, He is our brother.
Tad viņa mātes brāļi viņa dēļ runāja priekš visu namnieku ausīm Šehemē visus šos vārdus un viņu sirds nesās uz Abimeleku, jo tie sacīja: viņš ir mūsu brālis.
4 And they gave him seventy pieces of silver out of the house of Baal-berith, with which Abimelech hired vain and unstable fellows who followed him.
Un tie viņam deva septiņdesmit sudraba sēķeļus no BaālBerita nama, un Abimeleks ar tiem saderēja neliešus un nebēdniekus, kas viņam staigāja pakaļ.
5 And he went to his father's house at Ophrah, and killed his brothers the sons of Jerubbaal, being seventy men, upon one stone, but Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left, for he hid himself.
Un viņš nāca sava tēva namā uz Ovru un nokāva savus brāļus, JerubBaāla bērnus, septiņdesmit vīrus uz viena akmens; bet Jotams, JerubBaāla jaunākais dēls, atlika, jo viņš bija paslēpies.
6 And all the men of Shechem assembled themselves together, and all the house of Millo, and went and made Abimelech king by the oak of the pillar that was in Shechem.
Tad visi Šehemes namnieki sapulcējās un viss Millus nams, un tie nogāja un iecēla Abimeleku par ķēniņu pie tā piemiņas ozola, kas ir Šehemē.
7 And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood on the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried out, and said to them, Hearken to me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken to you.
Kad to Jotamam teica, tad viņš nogāja un nostājās Gerizima kalna paša galā un pacēla savu balsi un sauca un sacīja: klausāties mani, jūs Šehemes namnieki, tad Dievs arī jūs klausīs.
8 The trees went forth a time to anoint a king over them. And they said to the olive tree, Reign thou over us.
Koki gāja, ķēniņu pār sevi svaidīt, un sacīja uz eļļas koku: esi ķēniņš pār mums.
9 But the olive tree said to them, Should I leave my fatness with which by me they honor God and man, and go to wave to and fro over the trees?
Bet eļļas koks uz tiem sacīja: vai man būs atstāt savu taukumu, ko Dievs un cilvēki pie manis slavē, un noiet un līgoties pa koku virsu?
10 And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us.
Tad tie koki sacīja uz vīģes koku: nāc tu, esi ķēniņš pār mums.
11 But the fig tree said to them, Should I leave my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to wave to and fro over the trees?
Bet vīģes koks uz tiem sacīja: vai man būs atstāt savu saldumu un savus labos augļus un noiet un līgoties pa koku virsu?
12 And the trees said to the vine, Come thou, and reign over us.
Tad tie koki sacīja uz vīnakoku: nāc tu un esi ķēniņš pār mums.
13 And the vine said to them, Should I leave my new wine, which cheers God and man, and go to wave to and fro over the trees?
Bet vīnakoks uz tiem sacīja: vai man būs atstāt savu vīnu, kas dievus un cilvēkus iepriecina, un noiet un līgoties pa koku virsu?
14 Then all the trees said to the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us.
Tad visi koki sacīja uz ērkšķu krūmu: nāc tu un esi ķēniņš pār mums.
15 And the bramble said to the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and take refuge in my shade, and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
Tad ērkšķu krūms uz tiem kokiem sacīja: kad jūs tiešām mani svaidiet sev par ķēniņu, tad nāciet un uzticaties manai paēnai, bet ja ne, tad lai uguns iziet no ērkšķu krūma un norij Lībanus ciedru kokus.
16 Now therefore, if ye have dealt truly and uprightly, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done to him according to the deed of his hands
Un nu, vai jūs esat taisni un pareizi darījuši, Abimeleku celdami par ķēniņu, un vai jūs esat labi darījuši pie JerubBaāla un viņa nama un viņam darījuši pēc viņa roku nopelna?
17 (for my father fought for you, and ventured his life, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian,
Jo mans tēvs jūsu dēļ karojis un savu dzīvību nometis un jūs izglābis no Midijaniešu rokas,
18 and ye have risen up against my father's house this day, and have slain his sons, seventy men, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maid-servant, king over the men of Shechem because he is your brother),
Bet jūs šodien esat cēlušies pret mana tēva namu un nokāvuši viņa dēlus, septiņdesmit vīrus uz viena akmens, un esat iecēluši Abimeleku,
19 if ye then have dealt truly and uprightly with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you.
Ja nu jūs šodien taisni un pareizi esat darījuši pie JerubBaāla un pie viņa nama, tad priecājaties par Abimeleku, un lai viņš arīdzan priecājās par jums.
20 But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo, and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech.
Bet ja ne, tad lai uguns iziet no Abimeleka un norij Šehemes namniekus un Millus namu, un lai uguns iziet no Šehemes namniekiem un no Millus nama un norij Abimeleku.
21 And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother.
Tad Jotams bēga un aizbēga uz Beru un dzīvoja tur, no sava brāļa Abimeleka bīdamies.
22 And Abimelech was ruler over Israel three years.
Kad nu Abimeleks trīs gadus bija valdījis pār Israēli,
23 And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem, and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech,
Tad Dievs sūtīja ļaunu garu starp Abimeleku un Šehemes namniekiem, un Šehemes namnieki turējās viltīgi pret Abimeleku,
24 that the violence done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come, and that their blood might be laid upon Abimelech their brother who killed them, and upon the men of Shechem who strengthened his hands to kill his brothers.
Ka tas varas darbs pie tiem septiņdesmit JerubBaāla dēliem nāktu un viņa asinis grieztos uz Abimeleku, viņu brāli, kas tos bija nokāvis, un tos, kas bija stiprinājuši, savus brāļus nokaut.
25 And the men of Shechem set ambushes for him on the tops of the mountains, and they robbed all who came along that way by them, and it was told Abimelech.
Un Šehemes namnieki sūtīja kādus, kas ar viltu uz viņu glūnēja kalna galos, un tie visus aplaupīja, kas pa to ceļu gāja, un tas Abimelekam tapa sacīts.
26 And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brothers, and went over to Shechem, and the men of Shechem put their trust in him.
Un Gaāls, Ebeda dēls, nāca ar saviem brāļiem un gāja uz Šehemi, un Šehemes namnieki viņam uzticējās,
27 And they went out into the field, and gathered their vineyards, and trod the grapes, and held festival, and went into the house of their god, and ate and drank, and cursed Abimelech.
Un izgāja uz lauku un nolasīja savus vīna kalnus un spaidīja ogas un svinēja prieka svētkus, un gāja sava dieva namā un ēda un dzēra un lādēja Abimeleku.
28 And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? Is not he the son of Jerubbaal, and Zebul his officer? Serve ye the men of Hamor the father of Shechem, but why should we serve him?
Un Gaāls, Ebeda dēls, sacīja: kas ir Abimeleks, un kas ir Šehems, ka mums viņam būs kalpot? Vai tas nav JerubBaāla dēls un Zebuls viņa uzraugs? Kalpojiet labāki, Hamora, Šehema tēva, vīriem, jo kāpēc lai mēs viņam kalpojam?
29 And would that this people were under my hand! Then I would remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine army, and come out.
Ak kaut šie ļaudis būtu manā rokā, gan es Abimeleku izdzītu. Un uz Abimeleku viņš sacīja: vairo savu karaspēku un nāc ārā.
30 And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.
Kad Zebuls, tās pilsētas virsnieks, Gaāla, Ebeda dēla, vārdus dzirdēja, tad viņš apskaitās,
31 And he sent messengers to Abimelech privately, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brothers have come to Shechem, and, behold, they are fortifying the city against thee.
Un sūtīja slepeni vēstnešus pie Abimeleka un sacīja: redzi, Gaāls, Ebeda dēls, un viņa brāļi ir nākuši uz Šehemi, un redzi, tie ceļ dumpi pret tevi pilsētā.
32 Now therefore, up by night, thou and the people who are with thee, and lie in wait in the field.
Un nu celies naktī, tu un tie ļaudis, kas pie tevis, un paslēpies laukā;
33 And it shall be, that in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, thou shall rise early, and rush upon the city, and, behold, when he and the people who are with him come out against thee, then thou may do to them as thou shall find occasion.
Un rītā agri, kad saule lec, tad celies un uzbrūc tai pilsētai, un redzi, kad viņš un tie ļaudis, kas pie viņa, ies ārā tev pretī, tad dari viņam, kā tava roka māk.
34 And Abimelech rose up, and all the people who were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies.
Tad Abimeleks un visi ļaudis, kas pie viņa bija, cēlās naktī un paslēpās pret Šehemi četros pulkos.
35 And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city. And Abimelech rose up, and the people who were with him, from the ambushment.
Un Gaāls, Ebeda dēls, izgāja ārā un stāvēja priekš pilsētas vārtiem. Tad Abimeleks un tie ļaudis, kas pie viņa bija, cēlās, kur bija apslēpušies.
36 And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, there comes a people down from the tops of the mountains. And Zebul said to him, Thou see the shadow of the mountains as if they were men.
Kad nu Gaāls tos ļaudis ieraudzīja, tad viņš sacīja uz Zebulu: redzi, no kalnu galiem nāk ļaudis. Bet Zebuls uz to sacīja: tev šķiet kalna ēnu cilvēkus esam.
37 And Gaal spoke again and said, See, there comes a people down by the middle of the land, and one company comes by the way of the oak of Meonenim.
Tad Gaāls vēl runāja un sacīja: redzi, ļaudis nāk no augšgala un viens pulks nāk pa ceļu no burvju ozola.
38 Then Zebul said to him, Where is now thy mouth, that thou said, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? Is not this the people that thou have despised? Go out now, I pray, and fight with them.
Tad Zebuls uz viņu sacīja: kur nu ir tava mute, ar ko tu sacīji: kas ir Abimeleks, ka lai tam kalpojam? Vai šie nav tie ļaudis, ko tu esi apsmējis? Izej jel nu ārā un karo pret viņu.
39 And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech.
Un Gaāls izgāja Šehemes namnieku priekšā un karoja pret Abimeleku.
40 And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and there fell many wounded, even to the entrance of the gate.
Un Abimeleks tam dzinās pakaļ, un tas bēga no viņa, un daudz krita nokauti līdz vārtiem.
41 And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah, and Zebul drove out Gaal and his brothers, that they should not dwell in Shechem.
Un Abimeleks palika Arumā, bet Zebuls izdzina Gaālu un viņa brāļus, ka tie Šehemē nepalika.
42 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field, and they told Abimelech.
Un notika otrā dienā, ka tie ļaudis gāja uz lauku, un tas Abimelekam tapa sacīts.
43 And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field. And he looked, and, behold, the people came forth out of the city. And he rose up against them, and smote them.
Tad viņš ņēma tos (kara) ļaudis un tos dalīja trijos pulkos un paslēpās laukā. Un viņš skatījās, un redzi, tie ļaudis izgāja no pilsētas; tad viņš cēlās pret tiem un tos nokāva.
44 And Abimelech, and the companies who were with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city, and the two companies rushed upon all who were in the field, and smote them.
Un Abimeleks un tie pulki, kas pie viņa bija, uzbruka un nostājās priekš pilsētas vārtiem, bet tie divi pulki uzbruka visiem, kas bija laukā, un tos nokāva.
45 And Abimelech fought against the city all that day. And he took the city, and killed the people that were in it, and he beat down the city, and sowed it with salt.
Un Abimeleks karoja pret to pilsētu visu to dienu un uzņēma to pilsētu un nokāva tos ļaudis, kas tanī bija, un nopostīja to pilsētu un apsēja to ar sāli.
46 And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard of it, they entered into the stronghold of the house of El-berith.
Kad nu visi Šehemes pils namnieki to dzirdēja, tad tie gāja tai stiprā Berita dieva nama tornī.
47 And it was told Abimelech that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.
Un Abimelekam tas tapa sacīts, ka visi Šehemes pils namnieki bija sapulcējušies.
48 And Abimelech got up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people who were with him. And Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it up, and laid it on his shoulder. And he said to the people who were with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done.
Tad Abimeleks gāja uz Calmon kalnu, viņš un visi ļaudis, kas pie viņa bija, un Abimeleks ņēma cirvi savā rokā un nocirta koka zaru un to uzcēla un lika uz savu kamiesi un sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm, kas pie tā bija: ko esat redzējuši mani darām, to dariet steigšus tāpat.
49 And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the stronghold, and set the stronghold on fire upon them, so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.
Tad arī visi ļaudis nocirta ikkatrs zaru un gāja Abimelekam pakaļ, un tos pielika pie tā stiprā torņa un iededzināja pār tiem to torni ar uguni, ka visi Šehemes pils ļaudis nomira līdz tūkstoš vīru un sievu.
50 Then Abimelech went to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it.
Un Abimeleks gāja uz Tebecu un apmetās pret Tebecu un to uzņēma.
51 But there was a strong tower inside the city. And all the men and women fled, and all those of the city, and shut themselves in, and got up to the roof of the tower.
Bet pilsētas vidū bija stipra pils, uz turieni visi vīri un sievas un visi pilsētas namnieki bēga un ieslēdzās un uzkāpa uz pils jumtu.
52 And Abimelech came to the tower, and fought against it, and drew near to the door of the tower to burn it with fire.
Tad Abimeleks nāca pie tās pils un karoja pret to un piegāja pie pils durvīm, viņu ar uguni sadedzināt.
53 And a certain woman cast an upper millstone upon Abimelech's head, and broke his skull.
Tad viena sieva nometa dzirnu akmens gabalu uz Abimeleka galvu un satrieca viņa galvas kausu.
54 Then he called hastily to the young man his armor bearer, and said to him, Draw thy sword, and kill me, that men not say of me, A woman killed him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.
Tad viņš steigšus piesauca to puisi, savu bruņu nesēju, un uz to sacīja: izvelc savu zobenu un nokauj mani, lai no manis nesaka: viena sieva viņu nokāvusi. Un viņa puisis to nodūra, ka nomira.
55 And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man to his place.
Kad nu Israēla vīri redzēja, ka Abimeleks bija nomiris, tad tie gāja ikkatrs uz savām mājām.
56 Thus God requited the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did to his father, in slaying his seventy brothers.
Tā Dievs Abimelekam maksāja to ļaunumu, ko viņš bija darījis savam tēvam, nokaudams savus septiņdesmit brāļus.
57 And God requited all the wickedness of the men of Shechem upon their heads. And the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal came upon them.
Un Dievs Šehemes vīriem atmaksāja visu ļaunumu uz viņu galvām, un Jotama, JerubBaāla dēla, lāsti nāca pār tiem.
