1 Kings 20
1 Then Benhadad, the king of Syria, gathered together his entire army. And there were thirty-two kings with him, with horses and chariots. And ascending, he fought against Samaria, and he besieged it.
Un BenHadads, Sīrijas ķēniņš, sapulcināja visu savu spēku, un trīsdesmit un divi ķēniņi bija viņam līdz un zirgi un rati, un viņš nogāja un apmetās pret Samariju, un karoja pret to.
2 And sending messengers into the city, to Ahab, the king of Israel,
Un viņš sūtīja vēstnešus pilsētā pie Ahaba, Israēla ķēniņa,
3 he said: “Thus says Benhadad: Your silver and your gold is mine. And your wives and your best sons are mine.”
Un lika tam sacīt: tā saka BenHadads: tavs sudrabs un tavs zelts būs mans, arī tavas sievas un tavi labākie bērni būs mani.
4 And the king of Israel responded, “In agreement with your word, my lord the king, I am yours, with all that is mine.”
Un Israēla ķēniņš atbildēja un sacīja: pēc tava vārda, mans kungs un ķēniņ, es esmu tavs, un viss, kas man ir.
5 And the messengers, returning, said: “Thus says Benhadad, who sent us to you: Your silver and your gold, and your wives and your sons, you shall give to me.
Un tie vēstneši nāca atkal atpakaļ un sacīja: tā runā BenHadads un saka: es gan pie tevis esmu sūtījis un licis sacīt: tavu sudrabu un tavu zeltu un tavas sievas un tavus bērnus tev man būs dot,
6 Therefore, tomorrow, at this same hour, I will send my servants to you, and they will search your house and the houses of your servants. And all that pleases them, they will put in their hands and take away.”
Bet rītu ap šo laiku es savus kalpus pie tevis sūtīšu, izmeklēt tavu namu un tavu kalpu namu, un viss, kas tur skaists priekš tavām acīm, to tiem būs ņemt un aiznest.
7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and he said: “Let your souls take heed, and see that he commits treachery against us. For he sent to me for my wives and sons, and for silver and gold. And I did not refuse.”
Tad Israēla ķēniņš saaicināja visas zemes vecajus un sacīja: ņemiet jel vērā un redziet, kā šis ļaunu meklē. Jo tas pie manis ir sūtījis pēc manām sievām un pēc maniem bērniem un pēc mana sudraba un zelta, un es tam to neesmu liedzis.
8 And all those greater by birth, with all the people, said to him, “You should neither listen, nor acquiesce to him.”
Bet visi vecaji un visi ļaudis uz viņu sacīja: nepaklausi un neļauj to.
9 And so, he responded to the messengers of Benhadad: “Tell my lord the king: Everything about which you sent to me in the beginning, I your servant will do. But this thing, I am not able to do.”
Tad viņš sacīja uz BenHadada vēstnešiem: sakāt ķēniņam, manam kungam: visu, par ko tu pirmo reizi pie sava kalpa sūtījis, to es darīšu, bet šo lietu es nevaru darīt. Tad tie vēstneši nogāja un viņam atsacīja to vārdu.
10 And returning, the messengers took this to him, and he sent again and said, “May the gods do these things to me, and may they add these other things, if the dust of Samaria is enough to fill the hands of all the people who follow me.”
Un BenHadads sūtīja pie viņa un lika sacīt: lai man dievi šā vai tā dara, ja Samarijas pīšļi pietiks visu ļaužu saujām, kas man ir līdz.
11 And responding, the king of Israel said, “Tell him that one who is girded should not boast the same as one who is ungirded.”
Bet Israēla ķēniņš atbildēja un sacīja: atsakiet tā: kas apjozies, tas lai nelielās kā tas, kas atjozies.
12 Then it happened that, when Benhadad had heard this word, he and the kings were drinking in a pavilion. And he said to his servants, “Encircle the city.” And they encircled it.
Kad nu tas šo vārdu dzirdēja, ar tiem ķēniņiem teltīs dzerot, tad viņš sacīja uz saviem kalpiem taisāties. Un tie taisījās pret to pilsētu.
13 And behold, one prophet, drawing near to Ahab, the king of Israel, said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Certainly, you have seen this entire exceedingly great multitude? Behold, I will deliver them into your hand today, so that you may know that I am the Lord.”
Un redzi, viens pravietis nāca pie Ahaba, Israēla ķēniņa, un sacīja: “Tā saka Tas Kungs: vai tu esi redzējis visu šo lielo pulku? Redzi, Es to šodien došu tavā rokā, lai tu atzīsti, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs.”
14 And Ahab said, “By whom?” And he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: By the footmen of the leaders of the provinces.” And he said, “Who should begin to do battle?” And he said, “You should.”
Un Ahabs sacīja: “Caur ko?” Tad viņš sacīja: “Tā saka Tas Kungs: caur zemes valdnieku puišiem.” Un viņš sacīja: “Kas lai uzsāk kauju?” Tad viņš sacīja: “Tu pats.”
15 Therefore, he took a count of the servants of the leaders of the provinces. And he found the number to be two hundred thirty-two. And he set them in order after the people, all the sons of Israel, who were seven thousand.
Tad viņš skaitīja tos zemes valdnieku puišus, to bija divsimt trīsdesmit un divi. Un pēc tiem viņš skaitīja visus ļaudis, visus Israēla bērnus, to bija septiņi tūkstoši.
16 And they went out at midday. But Benhadad was drinking; he was inebriated in his pavilion, and the thirty-two kings with him, who had arrived in order to assist him.
Un tie izgāja dienasvidū. Bet BenHadads dzēra un piedzērās teltīs ar tiem trīsdesmit un diviem ķēniņiem, kas tam bija palīgā.
17 Then the servants of the leaders of the provinces went out to the first place, at the front. And so, Benhadad sent, and they reported to him, saying: “Men have gone out from Samaria.”
Un tie zemes valdnieku puiši izgāja papriekš. Tad BenHadads izsūtīja, un tie tam teica un sacīja: vīri nāk no Samarijas.
18 And he said: “If they have arrived for peace, apprehend them alive; if to do battle, capture them alive.”
Tad viņš sacīja: vai tie nākuši uz mieru, sagrābiet tos dzīvus, vai tie nākuši uz kauju, dzīvus tos sagrābiet!
19 Therefore, the servants of the leaders of the provinces went out, and the remainder of the army was following.
Kad nu šie zemes valdnieku puiši no pilsētas bija izgājuši un arī tas karaspēks, kas tiem gāja pakaļ,
20 And each one struck down the man who came against him. And the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them. Also, Benhadad, the king of Syria, fled on a horse, with his horsemen.
Tad tie kāva vīrs vīru. Un Sīrieši bēga un Israēls tiem dzinās pakaļ. Bet BenHadads, Sīrijas ķēniņš, izglābās uz zirga un ar jātniekiem.
21 But the king of Israel, going out, struck the horses and the chariots, and he struck the Syrians with a great slaughter.
Un Israēla ķēniņš izgāja un kāva zirgus un ratus un kāva Sīriešus lielā kaušanā.
22 Then a prophet, drawing near to the king of Israel, said to him: “Go and be strengthened. And know and see what you are doing. For in the following year, the king of Syria will rise up against you.”
Tad tas pravietis nāca pie Israēla ķēniņa un uz to sacīja; ej, stiprinājies: ņem vērā un lūko, ko tu dari, jo nākošā gadā Sīrijas ķēniņš atkal nāks pret tevi.
23 Then truly, the servants of the king of Syria said to him: “Their gods are the gods of the mountains; because of this, they have overwhelmed us. But it is better that we fight against them in the plains, and then we will prevail over them.
Jo Sīrijas ķēniņa kalpi uz to sacīja: viņu dievi ir kalna dievi, tāpēc tie bijuši stiprāki nekā mēs. Kaut mums ar tiem būtu jākaro klajumā! Varbūt ka mēs būtu stiprāki nekā tie.
24 Therefore, you should do this word: Remove each of the kings from your army, and set commanders in their place.
Tāpēc dari tā: atcel tos ķēniņus, ikvienu no viņa vietas, un iecel viņu vietā virsniekus.
25 And replace the number of soldiers who have been cut down of yours, and the horses, in accord with the earlier number of horses, and the chariots, in accord with the number of chariots that you had before. And we will fight against them in the plains, and you will see that we will prevail over them.” And he trusted in their counsel, and he did so.
Un taisi sev karaspēku, kāds tas bija, kas tev zudis, un zirgus, kā bija zirgi, un ratus, kā bija rati, un iesim ar tiem kauties klajumā; vai nebūsim stiprāki par tiem? Un tas klausīja viņu balsi un tā darīja.
26 Therefore, after the passing of the year, Benhadad took a count of the Syrians, and he ascended to Aphek, so that he might fight against Israel.
Un otrā gadā BenHadads skaitīja Sīriešus un cēlās uz Afeku, karot pret Israēli.
27 Then the sons of Israel were numbered, and taking provisions, they set out to the opposite side. And they stretched out the camp facing them, like two little flocks of goats. But the Syrians filled the land.
Un Israēla bērni arī tapa skaitīti un izrīkoti, un gāja tiem pretī, un Israēla bērni apmetās tiem pretī, kā divi kazu pulciņi, bet zeme bija Sīriešu pilna.
28 And one man of God, drawing near, said to the king of Israel: “Thus says the Lord: Because the Syrians have said, ‘The Lord is the God of the mountains, but he is not the God of the valleys,’ I will deliver this entire great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.”
Un tas Dieva vīrs nāca un runāja uz Israēla ķēniņu un sacīja: “Tā saka Tas Kungs: tāpēc ka Sīrieši sacījuši: Tas Kungs ir kalnu Dievs un ne arī ieleju Dievs, tad visu šo lielo pulku Es dodu tavā rokā, lai jūs atzīstat, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs.”
29 And for seven days, both sides arranged each of their battle lines. Then, on the seventh day, the war was undertaken. And the sons of Israel struck down, from the Syrians, one hundred thousand foot soldiers in one day.
Un tie palika apmetušies viens otram pretim septiņas dienas. Un septītā dienā kaušanās sākās, un Israēla bērni nokāva no Sīriešiem simts tūkstoš kājniekus vienā dienā.
30 Then those who had remained fled to Aphek, into the city. And the wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men of those who had remained. Then Benhadad, fleeing, entered the city, into a room that was inside another room.
Un tie atlikušie bēga uz Afekas pilsētu, un mūris sagruva pār divdesmit un septiņtūkstošiem no šiem atlikušiem. Un BenHadads bēga un nāca pilsētā no vienas istabas otrā.
31 And his servants said to him: “Behold, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel show clemency. And so, let us put sackcloth around our waists, and ropes on our heads, and let us go out to the king of Israel. Perhaps he will save our lives.”
Tad viņa kalpi uz to sacīja: redzi, mēs esam dzirdējuši, ka Israēla nama ķēniņi ir žēlīgi ķēniņi. Apvilksim maisus ap saviem gurniem un virves ap savām galvām, un iesim ārā pie Israēla ķēniņa; vai viņš tavai dvēselei neļaus dzīvot.
32 So they wrapped sackcloth around their waists, and they placed ropes on their heads. And they went to the king of Israel, and they said to him: “Your servant, Benhadad, says: ‘I beg you to let my soul live.’” And he replied, “If he is still alive, he is my brother.”
Un tie apvilka maisus ap saviem gurniem un virves ap savām galvām, un nāca pie Israēla ķēniņa un sacīja: tavs kalps BenHadads saka: ļauj jel manai dvēselei dzīvot. Tad tas sacīja: vai viņš vēl dzīvs? Viņš ir mans brālis.
33 The men accepted this as a good sign. And hastily, they took up the word from his mouth, and they said, “Benhadad is your brother.” And he said to them, “Go, and bring him to me.” Therefore, Benhadad went out to him, and he lifted him onto his chariot.
Un tie vīri saprata šo vārdu sev par labu un steigšus to lika sev apstiprināt no viņa un sacīja: tad BenHadads tavs brālis? Un viņš sacīja: ejat un atvediet to šurp. Tad BenHadads iznāca pie viņa, un viņš tam lika kāpt ratos.
34 And he said to him: “The cities that my father took from your father, I will return. And you may make streets for yourself in Damascus, just as my father made in Samaria. And after we have made a pact, I will withdraw from you.” Therefore, he formed a pact with him, and he released him.
Un BenHadads uz to sacīja: tās pilsētas, ko mans tēvs tavam tēvam paņēmis, es gribu atdot, un dari sev ielas Damaskā, itin kā mans tēvs darījis Samarijā. (Un Ahabs sacīja: ) ar šo derību es tevi atlaidīšu. Tā viņš ar to derēja derību un to atlaida.
35 Then a certain man from the sons of the prophets said to his associate, by the word of the Lord, “Strike me.” But he was not willing to strike.
Un viens vīrs no praviešu bērniem sacīja uz otru caur Tā Kunga vārdu: sit jel mani. Bet tas vīrs liedzās to sist.
36 And he said to him: “Because you were not willing to heed the voice of the Lord, behold, you will depart from me, and a lion will slay you. And when he had departed a short distance from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
Un viņš uz šo sacīja: tāpēc ka tu Tā Kunga balsi neesi klausījis, redzi, tad tevi lauva sitīs, kad tu no manis aiziesi. Kad nu tas no viņa aizgāja, lauva to sastapa un saplēsa.
37 But upon finding another man, he said to him, “Strike me.” And he struck him, and wounded him.
Un viņš atrada citu vīru un sacīja: sit jel mani. Un tas vīrs to sita, un to sizdams ievainoja.
38 Then the prophet departed. And he met the king along the way, and he changed his appearance by sprinkling dust around his mouth and eyes.
Tad tas pravietis gāja un nostājās ķēniņam ceļā un aptina savu vaigu ar drānu.
39 And when the king had passed by, he cried out to the king, and he said: “Your servant went out to do battle in close quarters. And when one man had fled, a certain person brought him to me, and he said: ‘Guard this man. For if he slips away, your life will take the place of his life, or you will weigh out one talent of silver.’
Kad nu ķēniņš gāja garām, tad viņš sauca uz ķēniņu un sacīja: tavs kalps bija izgājis kaujā, un redzi, viens vīrs nāca malā un atveda pie manis vienu vīru un sacīja: apsargi šo vīru; ja tas kaut kā nozustu, tad tava dvēsele būs viņa dvēseles vietā, vai tev būs jāmaksā viens talents sudraba.
40 And while I was distracted, turning one way and another, suddenly, he was not to be seen.” And the king of Israel said to him, “This is your judgment, that which you yourself have decreed.”
Kad nu tavam kalpam šur tur kas bija jādara, tad viņš nozuda. Un Israēla ķēniņš sacīja: tāds tavs spriedums, kā pats spriedis.
41 Then immediately, he wiped away the dust from his face, and the king of Israel recognized him, that he was one of the prophets.
Tad viņš steigšus noņēma to drānu no sava vaiga, un Israēla ķēniņš to pazina, ka tas bija viens no tiem praviešiem.
42 And he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Because you have released from your hand a man worthy of death, your life will take the place of his life, and your people will take the place of his people.”
Un viņš uz to sacīja: “Tā saka Tas Kungs: “Tāpēc ka tu šo vīru, ko es liku izdeldēt, esi izlaidis no rokas, tad tava dvēsele būs viņa dvēseles vietā, un tavi ļaudis viņa ļaužu vietā.””
43 And so the king of Israel returned to his house, unwilling to listen, and a fury entered into Samaria.
Un Israēla ķēniņš nogāja saīdzis un dusmīgs savā namā un aizgāja uz Samariju.
