2 Samuel 14
1 And Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was toward Absalom.
Kad nu Joabs, Cerujas dēls, manīja, ka ķēniņa sirds pēc Absaloma ilgojās,
2 And Joab sent to Tekoah, and fetched thence a wise woman, and said to her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on mourning garments, I pray, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that hath a long time mourned for the dead;
Tad Joabs sūtīja uz Tekou un dabūja no turienes gudru sievu un uz to sacīja: liecies jel žēlojoties un apvelc sēru drēbes un nesvaidies ar eļļu un turies kā sieva, kas sen dienas sērojās par mironi.
3 and come to the king, and speak after this manner to him. And Joab put the words into her mouth.
Un ej pie ķēniņa un runā uz to tā un tā. Un Joabs lika tos vārdus viņas mutē.
4 And the woman of Tekoah spoke to the king, and she fell on her face to the ground and did obeisance, and said, Save, O king!
Un tā Tekoiešu sieva sacīja uz ķēniņu, uz savu vaigu pie zemes mezdamās un klanīdamās: palīdzi, ķēniņ!
5 And the king said to her, What aileth thee? And she said, I am indeed a widow woman, and my husband is dead.
Un ķēniņš uz to sacīja: kas tev kait? Un viņa sacīja: kait gan, esmu atraitne un mans vīrs miris.
6 And thy bondmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other and slew him.
Un tad vēl tavai kalponei bija divi dēli, tie abi bārās laukā un tiem nebija starpnieka, tad viens sita otru un to nokāva.
7 And behold, the whole family is risen against thy bondmaid, and they say, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may put him to death, for the life of his brother whom he killed; and we will destroy the heir also: so they will quench my coal which is left, and will not leave to my husband a name or remnant on the earth.
Un redzi, visi radi cēlās pret tavu kalponi un saka: dod šurp to, kas savu brāli nokāvis, lai mēs viņu nokaujam par tā brāļa dzīvību, ko viņš nokāvis, un izdeldam arī šo mantinieku. Tā tie grib izdzēst manu dzirkstelīti, kas atlikusi, un neatstāt manam vīram ne vārda, ne pēcnākamais virs zemes.
8 And the king said to the woman, Go to thy house, and I will give charge concerning thee.
Tad ķēniņš uz to sievu sacīja: ej mājās, gan es tevis pēc pavēlēšu.
9 And the woman of Tekoah said to the king, Upon me, my lord, O king, be the iniquity, and upon my father's house; and the king and his throne be guiltless.
Un tā Tekoiešu sieva sacīja uz ķēniņu: mans kungs un ķēniņ, lai tas noziegums paliek uz manis un uz mana tēva nama, bet ķēniņš un viņa goda krēsls lai paliek nenoziedzīgs.
10 And the king said, Whoever speaks to thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more.
Un ķēniņš sacīja: ja kas pret tevi runā, tad atved to pie manis, tad tam tevi vairs nebūs aizskart.
11 Then she said, I pray thee, let the king remember Jehovah thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they cut off my son. And he said, [As] Jehovah liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.
Un viņa sacīja: lai jel ķēniņš piemin To Kungu, savu Dievu, ka asins atriebēji nevairo to postu, ka tie manu dēlu nenomaitā. Tad viņš sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvs, neviens no tava dēla matiem nekritīs pie zemes!
12 And the woman said, Let thy bondmaid, I pray thee, speak a word to my lord the king. And he said, Speak.
Tad tā sieva sacīja: lai jel tava kalpone vienu vārdu uz savu kungu, to ķēniņu, runā. Un viņš sacīja: runā!
13 And the woman said, Why then hast thou thought such a thing against God's people? and the king in saying this thing, is as one guilty, in that the king does not bring back his banished one.
Un tā sieva sacīja: kāpēc tad tu tādu lietu esi nodomājis pret Dieva ļaudīm? Kad ķēniņš šo vārdu runājis, caur to viņš ir tā kā noziedzīgs, tāpēc ka ķēniņš savu atmesto neatved atpakaļ.
14 For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; and God has not taken away his life, but devises means that the banished one be not expelled from him.
Jo mirt mums jāmirst un mēs esam kā ūdens, kas zemē izliets netop atkal sasmelts, un Dievs negrib dzīvību atņemt, bet domā uz to, ka neatmet arīdzan tādu, kas atmests.
15 And now that I am come to speak of this thing to my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid; and thy bondmaid said, I will now speak to the king; perhaps the king will perform the request of his handmaid.
Nu tad es esmu nākusi ar savu kungu, to ķēniņu, šo vārdu runāt, jo tie ļaudis mani ir izbiedējuši. Tad tava kalpone sacīja: es runāšu jel ar ķēniņu, vai ķēniņš nedarīs, ko viņa kalpone saka.
16 For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.
Jo ķēniņš klausīs un izpestīs savu kalponi no tā vīra rokas, kas apņēmies mani un manu dēlu kopā izdeldēt no Dieva tautas.
17 And thy bondmaid said, Let the word of my lord the king now be comfortable; for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad; and Jehovah thy God will be with thee.
Un tava kalpone domāja, lai mana kunga, tā ķēniņa, vārds man ir par iepriecināšanu, jo mans kungs, tas ķēniņš, ir kā Dieva eņģelis, klausīdamies labu un ļaunu; bet Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, lai ir ar tevi.
18 And the king answered and said to the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak.
Tad ķēniņš atbildēja un sacīja uz to sievu: neslēp man nekā, ko es tev vaicāšu. Un tā sieva sacīja: runā jel, mans kungs un ķēniņ!
19 And the king said, Is the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, [As] thy soul liveth, my lord, O king, there is no turning to the right hand or to the left from aught that my lord the king has spoken; for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words into the mouth of thy bondmaid:
Un ķēniņš sacīja: vai Joaba roka ar tevi nav visās šinīs lietās? Tad tā sieva atbildēja un sacīja: tik tiešām kā tava dvēsele dzīva, mans kungs un ķēniņ, citādi nav ne pa labo ne pa kreiso roku ar visu to, kā mans kungs, tas ķēniņš, ir runājis; jo tavs kalps Joabs vien, tas man to ir pavēlējis un visus šos vārdus licis tavas kalpones mutē.
20 in order to turn the appearance of the thing has thy servant Joab done this thing; but my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all that is in the earth.
Šīs lietas nodomu gribēdams apslēpt, tavs kalps Joabs to ir darījis. Bet mans kungs ir gudrs pēc Dieva eņģeļa gudrības, zināt visu, kas virs zemes notiek.
21 And the king said to Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: so go, bring back the young man Absalom.
Un ķēniņš sacīja uz Joabu: redzi, es šo lietu esmu darījis. Ej tad un atved to puisi Absalomu atpakaļ.
22 And Joab fell to the ground on his face and bowed himself, and blessed the king; and Joab said, To-day thy servant knows that I have found favour in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king has fulfilled the request of his servant.
Un Joabs klanījās uz savu vaigu pie zemes mezdamies un pateicās ķēniņam, un Joabs sacīja: šodien tavs kalps ir manījis, ka es žēlastību esmu atradis tavās acīs, mans kungs un ķēniņ, tāpēc ka ķēniņš sava kalpa vārdu paklausījis.
23 And Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
Tā Joabs cēlās un gāja uz Gešuru un atveda Absalomu uz Jeruzālemi.
24 And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. And Absalom withdrew to his own house, and saw not the king's face.
Un ķēniņš sacīja: lai viņš iet savā namā un nenāk priekš manām acīm. Tad Absaloms gāja savā namā un neredzēja ķēniņa vaigu.
25 But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
Bet tāda vīra, tik skaista un ļoti slavējama kā Absaloms, nebija pa visu Israēli; no pēdām līdz galvas galam nekādas vainas pie viņa nebija.
26 And when he shaved his head (for it was at every year's end that he shaved it, because it was heavy on him, therefore he shaved it), he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king's weight.
Un kad viņš savu galvu apcirpa, (tas notika gadu no gada, ka viņš to apcirpa, jo mati viņam bija visai smagi, tāpēc viņš tos nocirpa), tad viņa galvas mati svēra divsimt sēķeļus pēc ķēniņa svara.
27 And to Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a beautiful countenance.
Un Absalomam piedzima trīs dēli un viena meita, Tamāra vārdā, tā bija ļoti skaista sieviete.
28 So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and did not see the king's face.
Tā Absaloms palika Jeruzālemē divus gadus un neredzēja ķēniņa vaigu.
29 Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king; but he would not come to him; and he sent again the second time, but he would not come.
Tāpēc Absaloms sūtīja pie Joaba, ka viņš to pie ķēniņa sūtītu, bet tas negribēja nākt pie viņa. Tad viņš sūtīja vēl otrreiz, un tas vēl negribēja nākt.
30 Then he said to his servants, See, Joab's allotment is near mine and he has barley there: go and set it on fire. And Absalom's servants set the allotment on fire.
Tad viņš sacīja uz saviem kalpiem: redzi, Joaba tīrums ir pie mana klātu, un viņam tur ir mieži; ejat un iededzinājiet to ar uguni. Tad Absaloma kalpi iededzināja to tīrumu ar uguni.
31 Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom to [his] house, and said to him, Why have thy servants set my allotment on fire?
Un Joabs cēlās un nāca Absaloma namā un uz to sacīja: kāpēc tavi kalpi manu tīrumu ar uguni ir iededzinājuši?
32 And Absalom said to Joab, Behold, I sent to thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Why am I come from Geshur? it would have been better for me to be there still. And now let me see the king's face; and if there be iniquity in me, let him slay me.
Un Absaloms sacīja uz Joabu: redzi, es pie tevis esmu sūtījis sacīdams: nāc šurp, ka es tevi pie ķēniņa sūtu un lieku sacīt, kāpēc es esmu nācis no Gešuras? Man būtu labāki, ka es vēl tur būtu. Bet nu es gribu ķēniņa vaigu redzēt, un ja vēl kāds noziegums ir pie manis, tad lai viņš mani nokauj.
33 And Joab came to the king, and told him. And he called Absalom, and he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king; and the king kissed Absalom.
Tad Joabs gāja pie ķēniņa un viņam to teica. Tad viņš aicināja Absalomu, un tas nāca pie ķēniņa un nometās uz savu vaigu pie zemes ķēniņa priekšā, un ķēniņš skūpstīja Absalomu.
