Joshua 2
1 And Joshua the son of Nun sent from Shittim two spies secretly, saying, Go, see the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into a harlot's house, named Rahab, and they lay down there.
Un Jozuas, Nuna dēls, sūtīja slepeni divus izlūkus no Sitimas sacīdams: ejat, izlūkojiet to zemi un Jēriku. Un tie gāja un nāca kādas sievas namā, tā bija mauka, tai vārds bija Rahaba, un tie tur gulēja.
2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, men have come hither to-night from the children of Israel to search out the land.
Un Jērikus ķēniņam tapa sacīts: redzi, šinī naktī vīri nākuši no Israēla bērniem, to zemi izlūkot.
3 And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that have come to thee, who have come into thy house: for they have come to search out all the land.
Tad Jērikus ķēniņš sūtīja pie Rahabas un sacīja: dod šurp tos vīrus, kas pie tevis nākuši tavā namā, jo tie ir nākuši, visu šo zemi izlūkot.
4 And the woman had taken and concealed the two men; and she said, Yes, the men did come unto me, but I knew not whence they were;
Bet tā sieva ņēma tos divus vīrus un tos paslēpa un sacīja tā: tie vīri gan pie manis bija nākuši, bet es nezināju, no kurienes tie bija.
5 and it came to pass when the gate had to be closed, at dark, that the men went out: I know not whither the men have gone. Pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.
Un kad vārti bija jāaizslēdz, kad metās tumšs, tad tie vīri izgāja. Es nezinu, kurp tie vīri gājuši; dzenaties tiem steigšus pakaļ, tad jūs tos panāksiet.
6 But she had taken them up to the roof, and secreted them under the stalks of flax, which she had laid out on the roof.
Bet viņa tiem bija likusi uz jumtu uzkāpt un tos bija paslēpusi apakš linājiem, ko uz jumta bija izklājusi.
7 And the men pursued after them the way to the Jordan, to the fords; and when they who pursued after them had gone out, they closed the gate.
Un tie vīri tiem dzinās pakaļ pa Jardānes ceļu līdz tai pārceļamai vietai, un vārti tapa aizslēgti pēc tam, kad bija izgājuši, kas tiem dzinās pakaļ.
8 And before they had lain down, she went up to them upon the roof;
Un pirms tie apgūlās, viņa pie tiem uzkāpa uz jumtu.
9 and said to the men, I know that Jehovah has given you the land, and that the dread of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
Un sacīja uz tiem vīriem: es zinu, ka Tas Kungs jums šo zemi devis un ka bailes no jums mums uzkritušas, un ka visi zemes iedzīvotāji jūsu priekšā izbijušies.
10 For we have heard that Jehovah dried up the waters of the Red sea before you when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did to the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
Jo mēs esam dzirdējuši, kā Tas Kungs licis izsīkt niedru jūras ūdeņiem jūsu priekšā, jums no Ēģiptes zemes izejot, un ko jūs esat darījuši viņpus Jardānes tiem diviem Amoriešu ķēniņiem, Sihonam un Ogam, ko jūs esat izdeldējuši.
11 We heard [of it], and our heart melted, and there remained no more spirit in any man because of you; for Jehovah your God, he is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.
Un to dzirdot mūsu sirds palikusi bailīga, un nav vairs drošības nevienam pret jums; jo Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, Viņš ir Dievs augšā debesīs un apakšā virs zemes.
12 And now, I pray you, swear to me by Jehovah, since I have dealt kindly with you, that ye will also deal kindly with my father's house, and give me a certain sign,
Nu tad zvērējiet man jel pie Tā Kunga, tāpēc ka es žēlastību pie jums esmu darījusi, ka arī jūs darīsiet žēlastību pie mana tēva nama, un dodat man kādu ticamu zīmi,
13 that ye will let my father live, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that belong to them, and deliver our souls from death.
Ka jūs atstāsiet dzīvus manu tēvu, manu māti un manus brāļus un manas māsas ar visu, kas tiem pieder, un ka jūs mūsu dvēseles izglābsiet no nāves.
14 And the men said to her, Our lives shall pay for yours, if ye do not make this our business known; and it shall be when Jehovah shall give us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.
Tad tie vīri uz to sacīja: ja mēs nedarīsim žēlastību un uzticību pie tevis, kad Tas Kungs mums šo zemi dos, tad lai mirst mūsu dvēsele jūsu vietā, ja tik jūs šo mūsu lietu nedarīsiet zināmu.
15 And she let them down by a cord through the window; for her house was upon the city-wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.
Tad viņa tos ar virvi nolaida pa logu, jo viņas nams bija pie pilsētas mūra un viņa dzīvoja pie tā mūra.
16 And she said to them, Go to the mountain, that the pursuers may not meet with you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned; and afterwards go your way.
Un viņa uz tiem sacīja: ejat kalnos, ka tie jūs nesastop, kas jums dzenās pakaļ, un paslēpjaties tur trīs dienas, tiekams tie vajātāji atgriezīsies, tad pēc ejat savu ceļu.
17 And the men said to her, We will be quit of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.
Tad tie vīri uz viņu sacīja: mēs būsim vaļā no šī tava zvēresta, ko tu mums lieci zvērēt:
18 Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind in the window this line of scarlet thread by which thou hast let us down; and thou shalt gather to thee in the house thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household;
Redzi, kad mēs nākam tai zemē, tad piesien pie sava loga šo sarkano virvi, ar ko tu mūs nolaidi, un sapulcini pie sevis šai namā savu tēvu un savu māti un savus brāļus un visu tava tēva namu.
19 and it shall be, that whoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, — his blood shall be upon his head, and we shall be innocent; but every one who shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be upon our head, if any hand be upon him.
Un ikviens, kas pa tava nama durvīm izies ārā, tā asinis lai paliek uz viņa galvas, un mēs būsim nevainīgi. Bet ikviens, kas pie tevis būs namā, tā asinis lai paliek uz mūsu galvas, ja kas savu roku pie viņa pieliks.
20 And if thou make known this our business, we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us swear.
Bet ja tu šo mūsu lietu darīsi zināmu, tad mēs būsim vaļā no šī zvēresta, ko tu mums likusi zvērēt.
21 And she said, According to your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed. And she bound the scarlet line in the window.
Tad viņa sacīja: lai tā ir, kā jūs sakāt. Un viņa tos atlaida, un tie aizgāja; un viņa to sarkano virvi piesēja pie loga.
22 And they went, and came to the mountain, and remained there three days, until the pursuers had returned; and the pursuers sought them all the way, and found them not.
Tā tie aizgāja un nāca kalnos un palika tur trīs dienas, tiekams tie vajātāji bija atpakaļ griezušies; jo tie vajātāji tos bija meklējuši pa visiem ceļiem, bet nebija atraduši.
23 And the two men returned and came down from the mountain, and went over and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and related to him everything that had happened to them.
Tad tie divi vīri griezās atpakaļ un nonāca no tiem kalniem un cēlās pāri un nāca pie Jozuas, Nuna dēla, un teica tam visu, kas tiem bija noticis.
24 And they said to Joshua, Of a surety Jehovah has given the whole land into our hands, and even all the inhabitants of the land faint because of us.
Un tie sacīja uz Jozua: tiešām Tas Kungs visu to zemi ir devis mūsu rokās, un visi zemes iedzīvotāji no mums bīstas.
