2 Samuel 2
1 Some time later, David inquired of the LORD, “Should I go up to one of the towns of Judah?” “Go up,” the LORD answered. Then David asked, “Where should I go?” “To Hebron,” replied the LORD.
Pēc tam Dāvids To Kungu vaicāja un sacīja: vai man būs iet uz vienu no Jūda pilsētām? Un Tas Kungs uz to sacīja: ej. Tad Dāvids sacīja: uz kurieni man būs iet? Un Viņš sacīja: uz Hebroni.
2 So David went there with his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel.
Tad Dāvids cēlās uz turieni līdz ar savām divām sievām, Aķinoamu, to Jezreēlieti, un Abigaīli, Nābala, tā Karmelieša, sievu.
3 David also took the men who were with him, each with his household, and they settled in the towns near Hebron.
Un Dāvids arī saviem vīriem, kas pie viņa bija, ikkatram ar savu namu lika iet uz turieni; un tie dzīvoja Hebrones pilsētās.
4 Then the men of Judah came to Hebron, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, “It was the men of Jabesh-gilead who buried Saul.”
Un tie Jūda vīri nāca un Dāvidu tur svaidīja Jūda namam par ķēniņu.
5 So David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-gilead to tell them, “The LORD bless you, because you showed this kindness to Saul your lord when you buried him.
Un Dāvidam stāstīja un sacīja: Jabesas vīri Gileādā Saulu ir aprakuši. Tad Dāvids sūtīja vēstnešus pie tiem Jabesas vīriem Gileādā un tiem lika sacīt: svētīti jūs esat Tam Kungam, ka jūs šo mīlestību esat parādījuši savam kungam Saulam un viņu esat aprakuši.
6 Now may the LORD show you loving devotion and faithfulness, and I will also show you the same favor because you have done this.
Tad lai nu Dievs jums atkal parāda mīlestību un uzticību, un es arīdzan jums gribu labu darīt par to, ka jūs tā esat darījuši.
7 Now then, be strong and courageous, for though Saul your lord is dead, the house of Judah has anointed me as their king.”
Un nu stiprinājiet savas rokas un esiet droši; jo, kad jūsu kungs Sauls nu ir miris, tad Jūda nams mani svaidījis sev par ķēniņu.
8 Meanwhile, Abner son of Ner, the commander of Saul’s army, took Saul’s son Ish-bosheth, moved him to Mahanaim,
Bet Abners, Nera dēls, Saula kara lielskungs, ņēma Išbošetu, Saula dēlu, un to pārveda uz Mahānaīm,
9 and made him king over Gilead, Asher, Jezreel, Ephraim, and Benjamin—over all Israel.
Un to iecēla par ķēniņu pār Gileādu un pār tiem Asuriešiem un pār Jezreēli un pār Efraīmu un pār Benjaminu un pār visu Israēli.
10 Saul’s son Ish-bosheth was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned for two years. The house of Judah, however, followed David.
Četrdesmit gadus Išbošets, Saula dēls, bija vecs, kad viņš palika Israēlim par ķēniņu, un viņš valdīja divus gadus; bet tie no Jūda nama turējās pie Dāvida.
11 And the length of time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
Un viss tas laiks, kamēr Dāvids Hebronē bijis ķēniņš pār Jūda namu, ir septiņi gadi un seši mēneši.
12 One day Abner son of Ner and the servants of Ish-bosheth son of Saul marched out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
Un Abners, Nera dēls, izgāja ar Išbošeta, Saula dēla, kalpiem no Mahānaīm uz Gibeonu.
13 So Joab son of Zeruiah, along with the servants of David, marched out and met them by the pool of Gibeon. And the two camps took up positions on opposite sides of the pool.
Un Joabs, Cerujas dēls, izgāja arīdzan ar Dāvida kalpiem, un tie sastapās pie Gibeonas dīķa, un palika viens šaipus dīķa un otrs viņpus dīķa.
14 Then Abner said to Joab, “Let us have the young men get up and compete before us.” “Let them get up,” Joab replied.
Un Abners sacīja uz Joabu: lai jel tie puiši ceļas un cīkstas mūsu priekšā. Tad Joabs sacīja: lai ceļas.
15 So they got up and were counted off—twelve for Benjamin and Ish-bosheth son of Saul, and twelve for David.
Tad cēlās un nogāja pēc skaita divpadsmit par Benjaminu un Išbošetu, Saula dēlu, un divpadsmit no Dāvida kalpiem.
16 Then each man grabbed his opponent by the head and thrust his sword into his opponent’s side, and they all fell together. So this place, which is in Gibeon, is called Helkath-hazzurim.
Un tie sagrāba viens otru pie galvas un iedūra savu zobenu otram sānos, un tie krita visi reizē, un šī vieta tapa nosaukta Elkat-Acurim (asmeņu tīrums), kas ir pie Gibeonas.
17 The battle that day was intense, and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated by the servants of David.
Un tai dienā cēlās grūta kaušanās, un Abners un Israēla vīri tapa sakauti no Dāvida kalpiem.
18 The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Now Asahel was fleet of foot like a wild gazelle,
Un tur bija trīs Cerujas dēli, Joabs un Abizajus un Azaēls. Un Azaēls bija viegls uz kājām, kā stirna laukā.
19 and he chased Abner, not turning to the right or to the left in his pursuit.
Un Azaēls dzinās Abneram pakaļ un neatstājās no Abnera ne pa labo ne pa kreiso roku.
20 And Abner glanced back and said, “Is that you, Asahel?” “It is,” Asahel replied.
Un Abners skatījās atpakaļ un sacīja: vai tu neesi Azaēls? Un viņš sacīja: es tas esmu.
21 So Abner told him, “Turn to your right or to your left, seize one of the young men, and take his equipment for yourself.” But Asahel would not stop chasing him.
Tad Abners uz to sacīja: atkāpies vai pa labo, vai pa kreiso roku, un satver vienu no tiem puišiem un paņem viņa ieročus. Bet Azaēls no viņa negribēja atstāties.
22 Once again, Abner warned Asahel, “Stop chasing me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How could I show my face to your brother Joab?”
Tad Abners runāja vēl uz Azaēli un sacīja: atstājies no manis, - kāpēc man tevi būs kaut zemē? Kā tad es varēšu savu vaigu pacelt tava brāļa Joaba priekšā?
23 But Asahel refused to turn away; so Abner thrust the butt of his spear into his stomach, and it came out his back, and he fell dead on the spot. And every man paused when he came to the place where Asahel had fallen and died.
Bet viņš negribēja atstāties. Tad Abners viņam ar šķēpa otru galu iedūra vēderā, ka šķēps pakaļā iznāca ārā, un Azaēls turpat krita un nomira. Un visi, kas uz to vietu nāca, kur Azaēls bija kritis un nomiris, tie tur apstājās.
24 But Joab and Abishai pursued Abner. By sunset, they had gone as far as the hill of Ammah opposite Giah on the way to the wilderness of Gibeon.
Bet Joabs un Abizajus dzinās Abneram pakaļ, un saule jau nogāja, kad tie nāca pie Amas pakalna, kas šaipus Ģias uz Gibeonas tuksneša ceļa.
25 The Benjamites rallied to Abner, formed a single unit, and took their stand atop a hill.
Un Benjamina bērni sapulcējās Abneram pakaļ vienā pulkā un stāvēja kāda kalna galā.
26 Then Abner called out to Joab: “Must the sword devour forever? Do you not realize that this will only end in bitterness? How long before you tell the troops to stop pursuing their brothers?”
Tad Abners sauca uz Joabu un sacīja: vai tad zobens lai rij mūžam? Vai tu nezini, ka beidzot ceļas rūgtums? Un cik ilgi tu tiem ļaudīm nesacīsi, lai saviem brāļiem vairs nedzenās pakaļ.
27 “As surely as God lives,” Joab replied, “if you had not spoken up, the troops would have continued pursuing their brothers until morning.”
Tad Joabs sacīja: tik tiešām kā Dievs dzīvo, kad tu nebūtu runājis, tie ļaudis jau no paša rīta būtu novērsti, ikviens no sava brāļa nost.
28 So Joab blew the ram’s horn, and all the troops stopped; they no longer pursued Israel or continued to fight.
Tad Joabs pūta ar bazūni, un visi ļaudis apstājās un nedzinās vairs Israēlim pakaļ un mitējās kauties.
29 And all that night Abner and his men marched through the Arabah. They crossed the Jordan, marched all morning, and arrived at Mahanaim.
Un Abners un viņa vīri gāja cauru nakti pa to klajumu un cēlās pār Jardāni un gāja caur visu Bitronu un nāca uz Mahānaīm.
30 When Joab returned from pursuing Abner, he gathered all the troops. In addition to Asahel, nineteen of David’s servants were missing,
Un Joabs griezās atpakaļ no Abnera un sapulcināja visus ļaudis. Tad no Dāvida kalpiem trūka deviņpadsmit vīri un Azaēls.
31 but they had struck down 360 Benjamites who were with Abner.
Bet Dāvida kalpi bija kāvuši no Benjamina un Abnera vīriem trīssimt un sešdesmit vīrus; tie bija nomiruši.
32 Later, they took Asahel and buried him in his father’s tomb in Bethlehem. Then Joab and his men marched all night and reached Hebron at daybreak.
Un tie pacēla Azaēli un to apraka viņa tēva kapā Bētlemē. Un Joabs gāja ar saviem vīriem cauru nakti, ka gaisma tiem ausa Hebronē.
