2 Samuel 15
1 Some time later, Absalom provided for himself a chariot with horses and fifty men to run ahead of him.
Un pēc tam Absaloms sev sagādāja ratus un zirgus un piecdesmit vīrus, kas viņa priekšā skrēja.
2 He would get up early and stand beside the road leading to the city gate. Whenever anyone had a grievance to bring before the king for a decision, Absalom would call out and ask, “What city are you from?” And if he replied, “Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel,”
Un Absaloms cēlās no rīta agri un nostājās ceļā pie vārtiem, un ja kam bija kāda tiesas lieta, par ko viņš pie ķēniņa nāca tiesāties, tad Absaloms to aicināja pie sevis un sacīja: no kuras pilsētas tu esi? Un kad tas sacīja: tavs kalps ir no šīs jeb tās Israēla cilts,
3 Absalom would say, “Look, your claims are good and right, but the king has no deputy to hear you.”
Tad Absaloms uz to sacīja: redzi, tava lieta ir laba un taisna, bet tev nav izklausinātāja pie ķēniņa.
4 And he would add, “If only someone would appoint me judge in the land, then everyone with a grievance or dispute could come to me, and I would give him justice.”
Un Absaloms uz to sacīja: ak! Kas mani celtu par zemes soģi, lai, ja kam kāds strīdus vai tiesas lieta būtu, nāktu pie manis un es tam gādātu taisnību!
5 Also, when anyone approached to bow down to him, Absalom would reach out his hand, take hold of him, and kiss him.
Un kad kāds pie viņa nāca un metās zemē, tad viņš izstiepa savu roku un to satvēra un to skūpstīja.
6 Absalom did this to all the Israelites who came to the king for justice. In this way he stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
Tā Absaloms darīja visam Israēlim, kas pie ķēniņa nāca tiesāties. Tā Absaloms zaga sirdi Israēla vīriem.
7 After four years had passed, Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go to Hebron to fulfill a vow I have made to the LORD.
Un pēc četriem gadiem Absaloms sacīja uz ķēniņu: es gribu noiet un savu apsolījumu Hebronē izpildīt, ko es Tam Kungam solījis.
8 For your servant made a vow while dwelling in Geshur of Aram, saying: ‘If indeed the LORD brings me back to Jerusalem, I will worship the LORD in Hebron.’”
Jo tavs kalps ir solījumu solījis, kad es Gešurā Sīrijā dzīvoju, sacīdams: ja Tas Kungs mani tiešām vedīs atpakaļ uz Jeruzālemi, tad es kalpošu Tam Kungam.
9 “Go in peace,” said the king. So Absalom got up and went to Hebron.
Tad ķēniņš uz to sacīja: ej ar mieru. Un viņš cēlās un gāja uz Hebroni.
10 Then Absalom sent spies throughout the tribes of Israel with this message: “When you hear the sound of the horn, you are to say, ‘Absalom reigns in Hebron!’”
Un Absaloms sūtīja izlūkus pie visām Israēla ciltīm un sacīja: kad jūs dzirdēsiet trumetes skaņu, tad jums būs sacīt: Absaloms ir ķēniņš Hebronē.
11 Two hundred men from Jerusalem accompanied Absalom. They had been invited as guests and they went along innocently, for they knew nothing about the matter.
Un ar Absalomu gāja divsimt vīri no Jeruzālemes, kas bija aicināti, bet tie gāja savā vientiesībā un nezināja it nenieka.
12 While Absalom was offering the sacrifices, he sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, to come from his hometown of Giloh. So the conspiracy gained strength, and Absalom’s following kept increasing.
Absaloms sauca arī Ahitofelu no Ģilus, Dāvida padoma devēju, no viņa pilsētas Ģilus, kad viņš upurus upurēja. Un dumpinieku derība palika stipra un ļaudis pulcējās un vairojās pie Absaloma.
13 Then a messenger came to David and reported, “The hearts of the men of Israel are with Absalom.”
Tad nāca vēstnesis pie Dāvida un sacīja: visu Israēla vīru sirds pieķērusies Absalomam.
14 And David said to all the servants with him in Jerusalem, “Arise and let us flee, or we will not escape from Absalom! We must leave quickly, or he will soon overtake us, heap disaster on us, and put the city to the sword.”
Tad Dāvids sacīja uz visiem saviem kalpiem, kas pie viņa bija Jeruzālemē: ceļaties un bēgsim, citādi mums glābšanās nav priekš Absaloma; ejat steigšus, ka viņš steigdamies mūs nepanāk un nepadara mums nelaimi un nekauj to pilsētu ar zobena asmeni.
15 The king’s servants replied, “Whatever our lord the king decides, we are your servants.”
Tad ķēniņa kalpi uz ķēniņu sacīja: tā kā mans kungs, tas ķēniņš, nodomā, redzi, mēs esam tavi kalpi.
16 Then the king set out, and his entire household followed him. But he left behind ten concubines to take care of the palace.
Un ķēniņš izgāja ar visu savu namu kājām. Un ķēniņš atstāja desmit liekas sievas, to namu sargāt.
17 So the king set out with all the people following him. He stopped at the last house,
Tā nu ķēniņš ar visiem ļaudīm kājām izgāja un apstājās pie pēdējā nama.
18 and all his servants marched past him—all the Cherethites and Pelethites, and six hundred Gittites who had followed him from Gath.
Un visi viņa kalpi gāja viņam līdzās, ir visi Krieti un visi Plieti ir visi Gatieši, sešsimt vīri, kas viņam no Gatas bija līdz nākuši, tie gāja ķēniņa priekšā.
19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why should you also go with us? Go back and stay with the new king, since you are both a foreigner and an exile from your homeland.
Tad ķēniņš sacīja uz Itaju no Gatas. Kam tu arīdzan mums gribi iet līdz? Ej atpakaļ un paliec pie ķēniņa, jo tu esi svešinieks un tik ienācējs savā vietā.
20 In fact, you arrived only yesterday; should I make you wander around with us today while I do not know where I am going? Go back and take your brothers with you. May the LORD show you loving devotion and faithfulness.”
Vakar tu esi atnācis, vai man šodien tevi būs maldināt, mums iet līdz? Jo es eju, kur varēdams; ej atpakaļ un ved savus brāļus līdz atpakaļ; žēlastība un uzticība lai ir ar tevi.
21 But Ittai answered the king, “As surely as the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, wherever my lord the king may be, whether it means life or death, there will your servant be!”
Bet Itajus atbildēja ķēniņam un sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvs, un kā mans kungs, tas ķēniņš, dzīvs, - tai vietā, kur mans kungs, tas ķēniņš, būs, lai būtu vai uz nāvi vai uz dzīvību, tur būs tavs kalps arīdzan.
22 “March on then,” said David to Ittai. So Ittai the Gittite marched past with all his men and all the little ones who were with him.
Un Dāvids sacīja uz Itaju: nāc tad, iesim! Tā Itajus no Gatas gāja līdz ar visiem saviem vīriem un ar visiem bērniem, kas pie viņa bija.
23 Everyone in the countryside was weeping loudly as all the people passed by. And as the king crossed the Kidron Valley, all the people also passed toward the way of the wilderness.
Un visa zeme raudāja lielas raudas, un visi ļaudis gāja garām. Un ķēniņš gāja pāri pār Kidronas upi, un visi ļaudis gāja pāri pa to ceļu uz tuksnesi.
24 Zadok was also there, and all the Levites with him were carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar offered sacrifices until the people had passed out of the city.
Un redzi, arī Cadoks tur bija ar visiem Levitiem, kas Dieva derības šķirstu nesa; un tie nolika Dieva šķirstu un Abjatars tur pienāca - kamēr visi ļaudis no pilsētas bija izgājuši.
25 Then the king said to Zadok, “Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the LORD, He will bring me back and let me see both it and His dwelling place again.
Tad ķēniņš sacīja uz Cadoku: nes Dieva šķirstu atpakaļ pilsētā. Ja es žēlastību atradīšu Tā Kunga priekšā, tad Viņš mani vedīs atpakaļ un man liks redzēt Viņu pašu ar Viņa dzīvokli.
26 But if He should say, ‘I do not delight in you,’ then here I am; let Him do to me whatever seems good to Him.”
Bet ja Viņš tā sacīs: Man nav labs prāts pie tevis, - redzi, še es esmu, lai Viņš man dara, kā Viņam patīk.
27 The king also said to Zadok the priest, “Are you not a seer? Return to the city in peace—you with your son Ahimaaz, and Abiathar with his son Jonathan.
Un ķēniņš sacīja uz priesteri Cadoku: tu redzētāj, ej atpakaļ uz pilsētu ar mieru, un Aķimaācs, tavs dēls, un Jonatāns, Abjatara dēls, jūsu abi dēli ar jums.
28 See, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”
Redziet, es gaidīšu tuksnesī pie braslām, tiekams kāda vēsts no jums atnāks un man dos ziņu.
29 So Zadok and Abiathar returned the ark of God to Jerusalem and stayed there.
Tā Cadoks un Abjatars Dieva šķirstu nesa atpakaļ uz Jeruzālemi un tur palika.
30 But David continued up the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went up. His head was covered, and he was walking barefoot. And all the people with him covered their heads and went up, weeping as they went.
Un Dāvids kāpa uz Eļļas kalnu un iedams raudāja un savu galvu bija aptinis un gāja pats basām kājām, arī tie ļaudis, kas pie viņa bija, ikkatrs savu galvu bija aptinis un gāja uz augšu un iedami raudāja.
31 Now someone told David: “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” So David pleaded, “O LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness!”
Un Dāvidam teica un sacīja: Ahitofels ir starp dumpiniekiem pie Absaloma. Tad Dāvids sacīja: Kungs, dari jel Ahitofela padomu par ģeķību!
32 When David came to the summit, where he used to worship God, Hushai the Archite was there to meet him with his robe torn and dust on his head.
Kad nu Dāvids nāca kalna galā, kur mēdza Dievu pielūgt, redzi, tad Uzajus, tas Arķiets, viņam nāca pretī ar saplēstiem svārkiem un zemi uz galvas.
33 David said to him, “If you go on with me, you will be a burden to me.
Un Dāvids uz to sacīja: ja tu man nāksi līdz, tad tu man būsi par nastu.
34 But you can thwart the counsel of Ahithophel for me if you return to the city and say to Absalom: ‘I will be your servant, my king; in the past I was your father’s servant, but now I will be your servant.’
Bet ja tu iesi atpakaļ pilsētā un sacīsi uz Absalomu: es būšu tavs kalps, ķēniņ, kā citkārt esmu bijis tava tēva kalps, tā nu es būšu tavs kalps, - tad tu man iznīcināsi Ahitofela padomu.
35 Will not Zadok and Abiathar the priests be there with you? Report to them everything you hear from the king’s palace.
Un vai tur pie tevis nebūs tie priesteri Cadoks un Abjatars? Tāpēc visu, ko tu ķēniņa namā dzirdēsi, to saki tiem priesteriem, Cadokam un Abjataram.
36 Indeed, their two sons, Ahimaaz son of Zadok and Jonathan son of Abiathar, are there with them. Send them to me with everything you hear.”
Redzi, tur ir viņu abi dēli, Aķimaācs Cadoka, un Jonatāns, Abjatara dēls, caur tiem jūs visu, ko dzirdat, sūtat pie manis.
37 So David’s friend Hushai arrived in Jerusalem just as Absalom was entering the city.
Tā Uzajus, Dāvida draugs, gāja pilsētā, kad Absaloms nāca uz Jeruzālemi.
