< 2 Kings 7 >
1 Elisha said, “Hear the LORD’s word. The LORD says, ‘Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.’”
Tad Eliša sacīja: klausāties Tā Kunga vārdu: tā saka Tas Kungs: rītu ap šo laiku pūrs kviešu miltu maksās vienu sēķeli un divi pūri miežu vienu sēķeli Samarijas vārtos.
2 Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, “Behold, if the LORD made windows in heaven, could this thing be?” He said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”
Tad tas virsnieks, uz kura roku ķēniņš atspiedās, atbildēja tam Dieva vīram un sacīja: redzi, jebšu Tas Kungs logus taisītu debesīs, vai šī lieta varētu notikt? Bet tas sacīja: redzi, ar savām acīm tu to redzēsi, bet no tā neēdīsi.
3 Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate. They said to one another, “Why do we sit here until we die?
Un četri spitālīgi vīri bija vārtu durvīs un tie sacīja cits uz citu: ko še paliekam, kamēr mirstam?
4 If we say, ‘We will enter into the city,’ then the famine is in the city, and we will die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let’s surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only die.”
Ja arī domātu pilsētā tikt, tad pilsētā ir bads, un mēs taču tur mirsim, - un ja te paliksim, tad arī mirsim. Tad nu nāciet, iesim Sīriešu lēģeri, - ja tie mūs pamet dzīvus, tad dzīvosim, un ja tie mūs nokauj, tad mirsim.
5 They rose up in the twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians. When they had come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, no man was there.
Un tie cēlās paša novakarē, iet uz Sīriešu lēģeri, un kad tie nonāca pie Sīriešu lēģera malas, redzi, tad tur nebija neviena.
6 For the Lord had made the army of the Syrians to hear the sound of chariots and the sound of horses, even the noise of a great army; and they said to one another, “Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us.”
Jo Tas Kungs Sīriešu spēkam bija licis dzirdēt troksni no ratiem un zirgiem un liela karaspēka troksni, tā ka cits uz citu sacīja: redzi, Israēla ķēniņš pret mums saderējis Hetiešu ķēniņus un ēģiptiešu ķēniņus, ka tie mums uzbrūk.
7 Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, their horses, and their donkeys, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
Tā tie bija cēlušies un bēguši pa krēslu un pametuši savas teltis un savus zirgus un savus ēzeļus, lēģeri, kā tas bija, un bija bēguši, glābt tik dzīvību.
8 When these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drank, then carried away silver, gold, and clothing and went and hid it. Then they came back, and entered into another tent and carried things from there also, and went and hid them.
Kad nu šie spitālīgie nonāca pie lēģera malas, tad tie iegāja vienā teltī, ēda un dzēra, un ņēma no turienes sudrabu un zeltu un drēbes, un nogāja un apslēpa un nāca atkal un gāja citā teltī, un ņēma no turienes arīdzan un nogāja un apslēpa.
9 Then they said to one another, “We are not doing right. Today is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let’s go and tell the king’s household.”
Tad cits uz citu sacīja: mēs nedarām labi; šī diena ir priecīgas vēsts diena; ja mēs cietīsim klusu un gaidīsim līdz rīta gaismai, tad kritīsim vainā. Nu tad nāciet, iesim un nesīsim ziņu ķēniņa namam.
10 So they came and called to the city gatekeepers; and they told them, “We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, not even a man’s voice, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were.”
Un tie gāja un sauca pilsētas vārtu sargus un tiem teica sacīdami: mēs gājām Sīriešu lēģerī, un redzi, tur nebija neviena un neviena cilvēka balss, kā vien piesieti zirgi un ēzeļi un teltis kā papriekš.
11 Then the gatekeepers called out and told it to the king’s household within.
Tad sasauca vārtu sargus, un tie nesa to vēsti iekšā ķēniņa namā.
12 The king arose in the night, and said to his servants, “I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry. Therefore they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, ‘When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.’”
Un ķēniņš cēlās naktī un sacīja uz saviem kalpiem: es jums teikšu, ko Sīrieši mums darījuši. Tie zina, ka mēs esam badā, tāpēc tie no lēģera ir izgājuši apslēpties laukā, domādami: ja tie no pilsētas nāks ārā, tad mēs tos grābsim dzīvus un ielauzīsimies pilsētā.
13 One of his servants answered, “Please let some people take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are consumed. Let’s send and see.”
Tad viens no viņa kalpiem atbildēja un sacīja: lai jel ņem tos pieci atlikušos zirgus, kas pilsētā atlikuši, (redzi, tie ir kā viss Israēla pulks, kas atlicies, vai kā viss Israēla pulks, kas aizgājis bojā); tos sūtīsim izlūkot.
14 Therefore they took two chariots with horses; and the king sent them out to the Syrian army, saying, “Go and see.”
Tad tie ņēma divus ratus ar zirgiem, un ķēniņš tos sūtīja Sīriešu karaspēkam pakaļ un sacīja: ejat un izlūkojiet.
15 They went after them to the Jordan; and behold, all the path was full of garments and equipment which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. The messengers returned and told the king.
Un tie laida tiem pakaļ līdz Jardānei, un redzi, viss ceļš bija pilns drēbju un rīku, ko Sīrieši bēgdami bija nometuši. Un tie vēstneši griezās atpakaļ un to teica ķēniņam.
16 The people went out and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a seah of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the LORD’s word.
Tad tie ļaudis izgāja un aplaupīja Sīriešu lēģeri, un pūrs kviešu miltu maksāja vienu sēķeli, un divi pūri miežu maksāja arī vienu sēķeli, pēc Tā Kunga vārda.
17 The king had appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to be in charge of the gate; and the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.
Un ķēniņš to virsnieku, uz kura roku viņš atspiedās, bija iecēlis pār vārtiem, un tie ļaudis viņu samina vārtos, ka tas nomira, pēc tiem vārdiem, ko tas Dieva vīrs bija runājis, kad ķēniņš pie viņa nonāca.
18 It happened as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, “Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria;”
Jo tas notika tā, kā tas Dieva vīrs uz ķēniņu bija runājis un sacījis: rītu ap šo laiku pūrs kviešu miltu maksās vienu sēķeli un divi pūri miežu vienu sēķeli Samarijas vārtos,
19 and that captain answered the man of God, and said, “Now, behold, if the LORD made windows in heaven, might such a thing be?” and he said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”
Tad tas virsnieks tam Dieva vīram bija atbildējis un sacījis: redzi, jebšu Tas Kungs taisītu logus debesīs, vai šī lieta varētu notikt? Un tas bija sacījis: redzi, tu to redzēsi ar savām acīm, bet no tā neēdīsi.
20 It happened like that to him, for the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died.
Un tā viņam notika, jo tie ļaudis viņu samina vārtos, ka tas nomira.
