1 Samuel 6
1 Now the ark of the Lord was in the region of the Philistines for seven months.
Un Tā Kunga šķirsts sabija septiņus mēnešus Fīlistu zemē.
2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying: “What shall we do with the ark of the Lord? Reveal to us in what manner we should send it back to its place.” And they said:
Un Fīlisti sasauca priesterus un zīlniekus sacīdami: ko lai darām ar Tā Kunga šķirstu? Sakāt mums, kā lai to sūtam atpakaļ savā vietā.
3 “If you send back the ark of the God of Israel, do not choose to release it empty. Instead, repay to him what you owe because of sin. And then you will be cured. And you will know why his hand did not withdraw from you.”
Un tie sacīja: ja jūs Israēla Dieva šķirstu gribat sūtīt, tad nesūtat viņu tukšā, bet atmaksājiet Viņam noziegumu upuri; tad jūs tapsiet dziedināti, un jums taps zināms, kādēļ Viņa roka no jums nav atstājusies.
4 And they said, “What is it that we ought to repay to him because of transgression?” And they responded:
Tad tie sacīja: kāds ir tas nozieguma upuris, ko mums Viņam būs maksāt? Un tie sacīja: pieci zelta augoņi un piecas zelta peles pēc piecu Fīlistu lielkungu skaita; jo vienāda mocība ir pār jums visiem un pār jūsu lielkungiem.
5 “In accord with the number of the provinces of the Philistines, you shall fashion five gold cysts and five gold mice. For the same plague has been upon all of you and your princes. And you shall fashion a likeness of your cysts and a likeness of the mice, which have destroyed the land. And so shall you give glory to the God of Israel, so that perhaps he may lift off his hand from you, and from your gods, and from your land.
Tad taisiet nu tādas zīmes tā kā jūsu augoņi ir, un tādu peļu zīmes, kas jūsu zemi samaitā, un dodiet Israēla Dievam godu, varbūt ka Viņš Savu roku atvieglinās pār jums un pār jūsu dievu un pār jūsu zemi.
6 Why have you hardened your hearts, just as Egypt and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? After he was struck, did he not then release them, and they went away?
Kāpēc tad jūs savu sirdi gribat apcietināt, kā ēģiptieši un Faraons savu sirdi apcietinājuši? Vai tas tā nav, kad Viņš brīnišķi tiem bija parādījies, tad tie atlaiduši (Israēla ļaudis), ka tie aizgāja?
7 Now therefore, fashion and take a new cart, with two cows that have given birth, but on which no yoke has been imposed. And yoke them to the cart, but retain their calves at home.
Nu tad ņemiet un taisiet jaunus ratus un ņemiet divas zīžamas govis, uz kurām vēl nekāds jūgs nav bijis, un iejūdziet tās govis ratos un vediet viņu teļus no tām atpakaļ uz mājām;
8 And you shall take the ark of the Lord, and you shall place it upon the cart, with the articles of gold that you have paid to him on behalf of transgression. You shall place these in a little box at its side. And release it, so that it may go.
Tad ņemiet Tā Kunga šķirstu un uzlieciet to uz tiem ratiem, un tās zelta lietas, ko jūs Viņam par nozieguma upuri maksāsiet, nolieciet trauciņā viņam blakām un sūtat viņu projām, lai iet.
9 And you shall watch. And if, indeed, it ascends by the way of his own parts, toward Beth-shemesh, then he has done this great evil to us. But if not, then we shall know that it is by no means his hand that has touched us, but instead it happened by chance.”
Tad lūkojiet, ja tas uz savas robežas ceļu iet, uz Bet-Šemesu, tad Tas mums visu šo lielo ļaunumu darījis, bet ja ne, tad mēs nopratīsim, ka Viņa roka mūs nav aizskārusi, bet tas mums no nejauši noticis.
10 Therefore, they did it in this way. And taking two cows that were feeding calves, they yoked them to the cart, and they enclosed their calves at home.
Un tie ļaudis tā darīja un ņēma divas zīžamas govis un tās iejūdza ratos, un viņu teļus tie paturēja mājās.
11 And they placed the ark of God upon the cart, with the little box that held the gold mice and the likenesses of the cysts.
Un tie uzlika Tā Kunga šķirstu uz ratiem līdz ar trauciņu ar tām zelta pelēm un ar tām augoņu zīmēm.
12 But the cows went directly along the way that leads to Beth-shemesh. And they advanced only in one direction, lowing as they went. And they did not turn aside, neither to the right, nor to the left. Moreover, the princes of the Philistines followed them, as far as the borders of Beth-shemesh.
Tad tās govis gāja taisni pa ceļu uz Bet-Šemesu, vienu pašu ceļu tās gāja tikuši(nepārtraukti) bļaudamas, un neatkāpās ne pa labo, ne pa kreiso roku, un Fīlistu lielkungi tām gāja pakaļ līdz Bet-Šemesas robežai.
13 Now the Beth-shemeshites were harvesting wheat in the valley. And lifting up their eyes, they saw the ark, and they were glad when they had seen it.
Un Bet-Šemesas ļaudis pļāva kviešus ielejā, un kad tie savas acis pacēla un to šķirstu redzēja, tad tie priecājās, to redzēdami.
14 And the cart went into the field of Joshua, a Beth-shemeshite, and it stood still there. Now in that place was a great stone, and so they cut up the wood of the cart, and they placed the cows upon it as a holocaust to the Lord.
Un tie rati nāca uz Jozuas, tā Bet-Šemieša, tīrumu un tur apstājās. Un tur bija liels akmens, un tie skaldīja to ratu malku un upurēja tās govis Tam Kungam par dedzināmo upuri.
15 But the Levites took down the ark of God, and the little box that was at its side, in which were the articles of gold, and they placed them upon the great stone. Then the men of Beth-shemesh offered holocausts and immolated victims, on that day, to the Lord.
Un tie Leviti nocēla Tā Kunga šķirstu līdz ar to trauciņu, kas bija klāt, kur tās zelta lietas bija iekšā, un to uzlika uz to lielo akmeni, un Bet-Šemesas ļaudis upurēja tai dienā dedzināmos upurus un kāva Tam Kungam kaujamus upurus.
16 And the five princes of the Philistines saw, and they returned to Ekron on the same day.
Un kad tie pieci Fīlistu lielkungi to bija redzējuši, tad tie tai pašā dienā griezās atpakaļ uz Ekronu.
17 Now these are the gold cysts, which the Philistines repaid to the Lord for transgression: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one.
Šie nu ir tie zelta augoņi, ko Fīlisti Tam Kungam deva par nozieguma upuri, vienu priekš Ašdodas, vienu priekš Gazas, vienu priekš Asklonas, vienu priekš Gatas, vienu priekš Ekronas.
18 And there were gold mice, according to the number of the cities of the Philistines, of the five provinces, from the fortified city to the village that was without a wall, and even to the great stone upon which they placed the ark of the Lord, which was, at last in that day, in the field of Joshua, the Beth-shemeshite.
Un tās zelta peles bija pēc visu Fīlistu pilsētu skaita, kas apakš tiem pieciem lielkungiem, gan no stiprajām pilsētām, gan no laucinieku ciemiem. Un par liecinieku ir tas lielais akmens, kur tie Tā Kunga šķirstu bija nocēluši, kas līdz šai dienai ir uz Jozuas, tā Bet-Šemieša, tīruma.
19 Then he struck down some of the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had seen the ark of the Lord. And he struck down some of the people: seventy men, and fifty thousand of the common people. And the people lamented, because the Lord had struck the people with a great slaughter.
Un Tas Kungs sita Bet-Šemesas ļaudis, tāpēc ka tie Tā Kunga šķirstu bija aplūkojuši, un Viņš sita no tiem ļaudīm septiņdesmit vīrus (piecdesmit no tūkstoša). Tad tie ļaudis bēdājās, ka Tas Kungs ar tādu lielu sišanu tos ļaudis bija sitis.
20 And the men of Beth-shemesh said: “Who will be able to stand in the sight of the Lord, this holy God? And who will ascend to him from us?”
Un tie ļaudis no Bet-Šemesas sacīja: kas var pastāvēt priekš Tā Kunga, šī svēta Dieva, vaiga? Un pie kā lai Viņš no mums aiziet.
21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath-jearim, saying: “The Philistines have returned the ark of the Lord. Descend and lead it back to you.”
Tad tie sūtīja vēstnešus pie Kiriat-Jearimas iedzīvotājiem sacīdami: Fīlisti Tā Kunga šķirstu atkal ir atveduši; nāciet un novediet to pie sevis.
