2 Kings 6
1 Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha: “Behold, the place in which we live before you is too narrow for us.
Un praviešu bērni sacīja uz Elišu: redzi jel, tā vieta, kur mēs tavā priekšā dzīvojam, mums ir par šauru.
2 Let us go as far as the Jordan, and let us each take from the forest a piece of timber, so that we may build for ourselves a place to live there.” And he said, “Go.”
Ejam jel pie Jardānes un ņemsim tur ikkatrs vienu baļķi, un taisīsim sev tur vietu, kur dzīvot. Un tas sacīja: ejat.
3 And one of them said, “Then you, too, should go with your servants.” And he answered, “I will go.”
Un viens sacīja: nāc lūdzams un ej līdz saviem kalpiem. Un viņš sacīja: es iešu.
4 And he went with them. And when they had arrived at the Jordan, they were cutting down wood.
Tā viņš ar tiem gāja. Un tie nonāca pie Jardānes un nocirta kokus.
5 Then it happened that, while someone was cutting timber, the iron of the ax fell into the water. And he cried out and said: “Alas, alas, alas, my lord! For this thing was borrowed.”
Un notikās, ka vienam baļķi cērtot cirvis iekrita ūdenī; tad tas sāka brēkt un sacīja: vai, mans kungs! Un tas bija palienēts.
6 Then the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” And he indicated to him the place. Then he cut off a piece of wood, and he threw it in. And the iron floated up.
Un tas Dieva vīrs sacīja: kur tas iekrita? Tad tas viņam rādīja to vietu, un viņš nogrieza koku un iegrūda tur, tad tā dzelzs peldēja.
7 And he said, “Take it.” And he extended his hand, and took it.
Un viņš sacīja: ņem to. Tad tas izstiepa savu roku un to paņēma.
8 Now the king of Syria was fighting against Israel, and he took counsel with his servants, saying, “In this and that place, let us set up an ambush.”
Un Sīriešu ķēniņš karoja pret Israēli un aprunājās ar saviem kalpiem un sacīja: apmetīsimies tai un tai vietā.
9 And so the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying: “Take care not to pass by that place. For the Syrians are there in ambush.”
Bet tas Dieva vīrs sūtīja pie Israēla ķēniņa un sacīja: sargies, neej šai vietai garām, jo Sīrieši tur grib apmesties.
10 And so the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God had told him, and he prevented it. And he preserved himself, concerning that place, not merely once or twice.
Tad Israēla ķēniņš sūtīja uz to vietu, par ko tas Dieva vīrs tam bija sacījis un piekodinājis, un tur apsargājās ne vienu ne otru lāgu vien.
11 And the heart of the king of Syria was disturbed over this matter. And calling together his servants, he said, “Why have you not revealed to me the one who is betraying me to the king of Israel?”
Tad Sīriešu ķēniņa sirds sašuta par šo lietu, un viņš aicināja savus kalpus un uz tiem sacīja: vai jūs man nevarat sacīt, kurš no mūsējiem tinās ar Israēla ķēniņu?
12 And one of his servants said: “By no means, my lord the king! Rather it is the prophet Elisha, who is in Israel, who is revealing to the king of Israel every word whatsoever that you will speak in your conclave.”
Tad viens no viņa kalpiem sacīja: tā nav, mans kungs un ķēniņ, bet Israēla pravietis, Eliša, saka Israēla ķēniņam tos vārdus; ko tu savā guļamā istabā runā.
13 And he said to them, “Go, and see where he is, so that I may send and capture him.” And they reported to him, saying, “Behold, he is in Dothan.”
Un viņš sacīja: ejat un raugāt, kur tas ir, ka es sūtu, viņu atvest. Tad viņam teica un sacīja: redzi, viņš ir Dotanā.
14 Therefore, he sent horses, and chariots, and experienced soldiers to that place. And when they had arrived in the night, they encircled the city.
Tad viņš uz turieni sūtīja zirgus un ratus un lielu pulku, un tie nāca naktī un apmetās ap to pilsētu.
15 Now the servant of the man of God, arising at first light, went out and saw the army all around the city, with horses and chariots. And he reported it to him, saying: “Alas, alas, alas, my lord! What shall we do?”
Un Tā Dieva vīra sulainis cēlās agri un izgāja, un redzi, kara pulks ar zirgiem un ratiem bija apmeties ap pilsētu. Tad viņa puisis uz to sacīja: mans kungs, ko darīsim?
16 But he responded: “Do not be afraid. For there are more with us than with them.”
Un viņš sacīja: nebīsties, jo to ir vairāk, kas pie mums, nekā to, kas pie viņiem.
17 And when Elisha had prayed, he said, “O Lord, open the eyes of this one, so that he may see.” And the Lord opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire, all around Elisha.
Un Eliša pielūdza un sacīja: Kungs, atdari jel viņam acis, ka tas redz! Tad Tas Kungs atdarīja tā puiša acis, ka tas redzēja, un redzi, kalns bija pilns ugunīgu zirgu un ratu Elišam apkārt.
18 Then truly, the enemies descended to him. But Elisha prayed to the Lord, saying: “Strike, I beg you, this people with blindness.” And the Lord struck them, so that they would not see, in accord with the word of Elisha.
Un tie nonāca pie viņa, un Eliša lūdza To Kungu un sacīja: sit jel šos ļaudis ar aklību, un Viņš tos sita ar aklību pēc Elišas vārda.
19 Then Elisha said to them: “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will reveal to you the man whom you are seeking.” Then he led them into Samaria.
Tad Eliša uz tiem sacīja: šis nav tas ceļš un šī nav tā pilsēta. Nāciet man pakaļ, es jūs vedīšu pie tā vīra, ko jūs meklējat. Un viņš tos veda uz Samariju.
20 And when they had entered into Samaria, Elisha said, “O Lord, open the eyes of these ones, so that they may see.” And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw themselves to be in the midst of Samaria.
Kad tie nu nonāca Samarijā, tad Eliša sacīja: Kungs, atdari tiem acis, ka tie redz. Un Tas Kungs atdarīja tiem acis, ka tie redzēja, un redzi, tie bija pašā Samarijas vidū.
21 And the king of Israel, when he had seen them, said to Elisha, “My father, should I not strike them?”
Un Israēla ķēniņš sacīja uz Elišu, kad viņš tos redzēja: vai man tos būs kaut, vai kaut, mans tēvs?
22 And he said: “You should not strike them. For you did not capture them with your sword or bow, so that you might strike them. Instead, set bread and water before them, so that they may eat and drink, and then go to their lord.”
Bet viņš sacīja: tev tos nebūs kaut; ko tu ar savu zobenu un ar savu stopu aizņem, tos kauj. Cel viņiem priekšā maizi un ūdeni, lai tie ēd un dzer un iet atkal pie sava kunga.
23 And a great preparation of foods was placed before them. And they ate and drank. And he dismissed them. And they went away to their lord. And the robbers of Syria no longer came into the land of Israel.
Un viņš tiem taisīja lielu mielastu, ka tie ēda un dzēra; un viņš tos atlaida, un tie atkal gāja pie sava kunga. Pēc tam Sīriešu sirotāji vairs nenāca Israēla zemē.
24 Now it happened that, after these things, Benhadad, the king of Syria, gathered together his entire army, and he ascended and was besieging Samaria.
Un pēc tam notikās, ka BenHadads, Sīriešu ķēniņš, sapulcināja visu savu karaspēku un cēlās un apmeta lēģeri ap Samariju.
25 And a great famine occurred in Samaria. And it was blockaded for a long time, until the head of a donkey was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and one fourth part of a pint of pigeons’ dung sold for five silver coins.
Un liels bads bija Samarijā, jo redzi, tie šo spieda tik ilgi, tiekams ēzeļa galva maksāja astoņdesmit sudraba gabalus, un ceturtdaļa kaba(apmēram litrs) baložu mēslu pieci sudraba gabalus.
26 And as the king of Israel was passing by the wall, a certain woman cried out to him, saying, “Save me, my lord the king!”
Un notikās, kad Israēla ķēniņš staigāja pa mūri, tad viena sieva uz to brēca un sacīja: palīdzi man, mans kungs un ķēniņ!
27 And he said: “If the Lord does not save you, how am I able to save you? From the grain floor, or from the wine press?” And the king said to her, “What is the matter with you?” And she responded:
Un tas sacīja: Tas Kungs tev nepalīdz, kā tad lai es tev palīdzu? Vai no klona, vai no vīna spaida?
28 “This woman said to me: ‘Give your son, so that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’
Un ķēniņš uz to sacīja: kas tev kait? Un tā sacīja: šī sieva uz mani sacīja, dod savu dēlu, ka to šodien ēdam, tad rītu ēdīsim manu dēlu.
29 Therefore, we cooked my son, and we ate him. And I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son, so that we may eat him.’ But she concealed her son.”
Tad mēs manu dēlu esam vārījušas un ēdušas. Bet kad otru dienu es uz to sacīju: dod nu savu dēlu, ka to ēdam, tad viņa savu dēlu ir apslēpusi.
30 When the king had heard this, he tore his garments, and he passed along the wall. And all the people saw the haircloth that he had worn underneath, beside his flesh.
Un kad ķēniņš dzirdēja šās sievas vārdus, tad tas saplēsa savas drēbes, pa mūri iedams, un tie ļaudis redzēja, un redzi, tam bija maiss apakšā uz pašām miesām.
31 And the king said, “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things, if the head of Elisha, the son of Shaphat, will remain on him this day!”
Un viņš sacīja: lai Dievs man šā vai tā dara, ja Elišas, Šafata dēla, galva šodien uz viņa paliks.
32 Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. And so he sent a man ahead. And before that messenger arrived, he said to the elders: “Do you not know that this son of a murderer is sending someone to cut off my head? Therefore, watch, and when the messenger arrives, close the door. And you shall not permit him to enter. For behold, the sound of his lord’s feet is behind him.”
Un Eliša sēdēja namā, un tie vecaji sēdēja pie tā. Un (ķēniņš) sūtīja vīru savā priekšā. Bet pirms tas vēstnesis pie tā nonāca, Eliša sacīja uz tiem vecajiem: vai esat redzējuši, ka šis slepkavas bērns sūtījis, man galvu noraut? Redziet, kad tas vēstnesis nāk, tad aizslēdziet durvis, ar tām durvīm to grūzdami ārā. Klau, aiz viņa jau viņa kunga kāju troksnis!
33 While he was still speaking to them, the messenger appeared who was sent to him. And he said: “Behold, such a great evil is from the Lord! What more should I expect from the Lord?”
Un kamēr viņš vēl ar tiem runāja, redzi, tad tas vēstnesis ienāca pie tā un (ķēniņš) sacīja: redzi, tas ļaunums nāk no Tā Kunga, ko tad man vēl cerēt uz To Kungu?
