2 Kings 10
1 There were seventy sons of the house of Ahab living in Samaria. So Jehu wrote letters and sent them to the officials of Samaria, to the elders, and to the guardians of the sons of Ahab, saying:
Un Ahabam bija septiņdesmit dēli Samarijā, un Jeūs rakstīja grāmatas un tās sūtīja uz Samariju pie Jezreēles virsniekiem, pie tiem vecajiem un Ahaba bērnu uzraugiem ar šiem vārdiem:
2 “Since your master's sons are with you, and you have at your disposal chariots, horses, a fortified city, and weapons, when you receive this letter,
Kad šī grāmata pie jums nonāk, un jūsu kunga dēli ir pie jums, un rati un zirgi, stipra pilsēta un bruņas,
3 choose the best and most appropriate son of your master, place him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.”
Tad izredziet to labāko un taisnāko no sava kunga dēliem, un ieceļat to viņa tēva goda krēslā, un karojiet par sava kunga namu.
4 But they were extremely frightened, and said to themselves, “If two kings couldn't defeat him, how could we?”
Bet tie bijās varen ļoti un sacīja: redzi, divi ķēniņi viņa priekšā nav pastāvējuši, kā tad mēs pastāvēsim?
5 So the palace and the city leaders, the elders, and the guardians sent a message to Jehu: “We are your servants, and we will do whatever you tell us. We're not going to make anyone king. Do what you think is best.”
Un kas par to namu un pilsētu bija iecelts, un tie vecaji un uzraugi sūtīja pie Jeūs un sacīja: mēs esam tavi kalpi un darīsim visu, ko tu mums sacīsi, mēs nevienu necelsim par ķēniņu; dari tu, kas tev patīk.
6 Then Jehu wrote them a second letter, saying, “If you are on my side, and if you are going to obey what I say, bring the heads of your master's sons to me in Jezreel by this time tomorrow.” The seventy king's sons were being raised by the leading men of the city.
Tad viņš tiem rakstīja citu grāmatu ar šiem vārdiem: ja jūs esat manā pusē un gribat klausīt manai balsij, tad ņemiet sava kunga dēlu galvas un nāciet pie manis rīt ap šo laiku uz Jezreēli. (Un to ķēniņa dēlu bija septiņdesmit vīri pie pilsētas lielkungiem, kas tos audzināja.)
7 When the letter arrived, they seized the king's sons and killed all seventy of them, placed their heads in baskets, and sent them to Jehu at Jezreel.
Kad nu šī grāmata pie tiem atnāca, tad tie ņēma tos ķēniņa dēlus un nokāva visus septiņdesmit un lika viņu galvas kurvjos un tās sūtīja uz Jezreēli.
8 A messenger came in and told Jehu, “They have brought the heads of the king's sons.” Jehu gave the order, “Put them in two piles at the entrance to the city gate until the morning.”
Un kad tas vēstnesis atnāca un viņam to stāstīja sacīdams: tie ir atnesuši ķēniņa dēlu galvas, tad viņš sacīja: lieciet tās divējās kopās pie vārtu durvīm līdz rītam.
9 In the morning Jehu went out to speak to the people who had gathered. “You haven't done anything wrong,” he told them. “I was the one who plotted against my master and killed him. But who killed all these?
Un no rīta, kad viņš izgāja, tad viņš tur nostājās un sacīja uz visiem ļaudīm: jūs esat taisni, redzi, es esmu cēlis dumpi pret savu kungu un viņu nokāvis; kas tad šos visus ir kāvis?
10 Rest assured that nothing of what the Lord has prophesied against the house of Ahab will fail, for the Lord has done what he promised through his servant Elijah.”
Tāpēc atzīstiet, ka no Tā Kunga vārda nekas nav kritis zemē, ko Tas Kungs runājis pret Ahaba namu; jo Tas Kungs ir darījis, ko Viņš runājis caur savu kalpu Eliju.
11 So Jehu killed everyone in Jezreel who was left of the house of Ahab, as well as all his high officials, close friends, and priests. This left Ahab without a single survivor.
Tad Jeūs arī visus apkāva, kas no Ahaba nama bija atlikušies Jezreēlē, arī visus viņa augstniekus un viņa pazīstamos un viņa svētītājus, kamēr tam neviena vairs neatlika.
12 Then Jehu left and went Samaria. At Beth-eked of the Shepherds,
Un viņš cēlās un gāja un nonāca Samarijā un bija ceļā vienā namā, kur gani dzīvoja.
13 he met some relatives of Ahaziah, king of Judah. “Who are you?” he asked them. “We're relatives of Ahaziah,” they replied. “We've come to visit the sons of the king and of the queen mother.”
Tad Jeūs atrada Ahazijas, Jūda ķēniņa, brāļus un uz tiem sacīja: kas jūs esat? Un tie sacīja: mēs esam Ahazijas brāļi un esam nākuši apmeklēt ķēniņa un ķēniņienes bērnus.
14 “Take them alive!” Jehu ordered. So they took them alive, then killed them at the well of Beth-eked. There were forty-two men. He didn't allow any of them to live.
Tad viņš sacīja: grābiet tos dzīvus. Un tie tos sagrāba dzīvus un tos apkāva pie ganu nama akas, četrdesmit un divus vīrus, un neatlicināja no tiem neviena.
15 He left there and came across Jehonadab, son of Rekab, who was coming to meet him. Jehu greeted him and asked him, “Are you as committed to me, as I am to you?” “Yes I am,” Jehonadab replied. “In that case, give me your hand,” said Jehu. So he stretched out his hand, and Jehu helped him up into the chariot.
Un no turienes aizgājis viņš atrada Jonadabu, Rekaba dēlu, pretī nākam, un to apsveicināja un uz to sacīja: vai tava sirds taisna, kā mana sirds ar tavu sirdi? Un Jonadabs sacīja: ir gan. (Jeūs sacīja: ) Ja tā ir, tad dod man savu roku. Un viņš tam deva roku. Un viņš tam lika pie sevis kāpt ratos.
16 “Come with me and see how dedicated I am to the Lord!” Jehu said, and had him ride in his chariot.
Un viņš sacīja: nāc man līdz un skaties manu karstumu priekš Tā Kunga. Un viņš tam lika braukt savos ratos.
17 When Jehu arrived in Samaria, he went around killing everyone who was left of Ahab's family until he had killed all of them, just as the Lord had said through Elijah.
Tad viņš nonāca Samarijā un apkāva visus, kas Ahabam bija atlikuši Samarijā, tiekams viņš tos izdeldēja, pēc Tā Kunga vārda, ko tas caur Eliju bija runājis.
18 Jehu had all the people gather together and told them, “Ahab worshiped Baal a little, but Jehu will worship him a lot.
Un Jeūs sapulcināja visus ļaudis un uz tiem sacīja: Ahabs Baālam maz ir kalpojis, Jeūs viņam daudz vairāk kalpos.
19 So summon all the prophets of Baal, all his servants and all his priests. Make sure no one is missing, because I'm organizing a great sacrifice for Baal. Anyone who doesn't attend will be executed.” But Jehu's plan was a trick to destroy the followers of Baal.
Tāpēc aicinājiet visus Baāla praviešus, visus viņa kalpus un visus viņa svētītājus pie manis, ka neviens neatraujās, jo man Baālam jaupurē liels upuris. Nevienam, kas atraujās, nebūs palikt dzīvam. Bet Jeūs to darīja ar viltību, ka viņš nomaitātu visus Baāla kalpus.
20 Jehu gave the order, “Call a religious assembly to honor Baal!” So they did so.
Un Jeūs sacīja: svētījiet Baālam svētkus, un tie tos izsauca.
21 Jehu sent the announcement through the whole of Israel. All the followers of Baal came—not a single man was missing. They went into the temple of Baal, filling it from end to end.
Tad Jeūs sūtīja arī pa visu Israēli, un visi Baāla kalpi atnāca, un neviens neatrāvās, kas nebūtu nācis, un tie nāca Baāla namā, ka Baāla nams līdz galu galam bija pilns.
22 Jehu said to the keeper of the wardrobe, “Distribute clothes for all the servants of Baal.” So he brought out clothes for them.
Tad viņš sacīja uz tiem, kas bija iecelti pār to drēbju namu: atnesiet visiem Baāla kalpiem drēbes, un tie viņiem atnesa drēbes.
23 Then Jehu and Jehonadab, son of Rekab, went into the temple of Baal. Jehu told the followers of Baal, “Look around and make sure that no one who follows the Lord is here with you, only the worshipers of Baal.”
Tad Jeūs ar Jonadabu, Rekaba dēlu, gāja Baāla namā, un viņš sacīja uz Baāla kalpiem: meklējiet un pieraugāt, ka jūsu starpā nav neviena no Tā Kunga kalpiem, bet Baāla kalpi vien.
24 They were inside presenting sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had positioned eighty men outside and cautioned them, “I'm handing these men over to you. If you let any of them escape, you will pay for his life with yours.”
Kad tie nu nāca upurēt kaujamos un dedzināmos upurus, tad Jeūs ārā nolika astoņdesmit vīrus un sacīja: ja kāds no tiem vīriem, ko es jums dodu rokā, izbēgs, tad jūsu dvēsele būs viņa dvēseles vietā.
25 As soon as Jehu had finished presenting the burnt offering, he ordered his guards and officers, “Go in and kill them all! Don't let even one escape!” So they killed them with their swords. The guards and officers threw their bodies outside, and then they went into the inner sanctuary of the temple of Baal.
Kad nu dedzināmais upuris bija pabeigts, tad Jeūs sacīja uz pils karavīriem un uz virsniekiem: ejat un kaujiet tos, ka neviens neizbēg. Un tie tos apkāva ar zobena asmeni, un tie pils karavīri un virsnieki tos nometa pie malas un gāja Baāla nama pilī.
26 They dragged out the idol pillars and burned them.
Un tie iznesa Baāla nama uzceltos stabus un tos sadedzināja,
27 They smashed the sacred pillar of Baal, and tore down the temple of Baal and turned it into a toilet, which it still is to this day.
Un sadragāja Baāla uzcelto tēlu un salauzīja Baāla namu un to darīja par gānekļu vietu līdz šodienai.
28 This was how Jehu destroyed Baal worship in Israel,
Tā Jeūs Baālu izdeldēja no Israēla.
29 but he did not end the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit—the worship of the golden calves at Bethel and Dan.
Bet no Jerobeama, Nebata dēla, grēkiem, kas Israēli bija pavedis uz grēkiem, Jeūs neatstājās, proti no tiem zelta teļiem Bētelē un Danā.
30 The Lord said to Jehu, “Since you have done well, and have carried out what is right in my sight, and have accomplished all that I planned for the house of Ahab, your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Jeū: “Tāpēc ka tev labs prāts bijis darīt, kas Man patīk un Ahaba namam visu esi darījis, kas bija Manā sirdī, tad tavi dēli tev sēdēs Israēla krēslā līdz ceturtam augumam.”
31 But Jehu was not completely committed to following the law of the Lord, the God of Israel. He did not end the sins that Jeroboam had made Israel commit.
Bet Jeūs nedzinās staigāt Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, bauslībā ar visu savu sirdi; viņš neatstājās no Jerobeama grēkiem, kas Israēli bija pavedis uz grēkiem.
32 At that time the Lord began to reduce the extent of Israel. Hazael defeated the Israelites throughout their territory
Tanī laikā Tas Kungs Israēli iesāka mazināt, jo Azaēls tos kāva visās Israēla robežās,
33 east of the Jordan, all the land of Gilead (the region occupied by Gad, Reuben, and Manasseh), and from Aroer through the Arnon Valley up to Gilead and Bashan.
No Jardānes puses pret rītiem visu Gileādas zemi, Gadiešus un Rūbeniešus un Manasiešus, no Aroēra pie Arnonas upes un Gileādu un Basanu.
34 The rest of what happened in Jehu's reign, all that he did and what he accomplished, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Un kas vēl par Jeū stāstāms, un viss, ko viņš darījis, un viss viņa spēks, tas ir rakstīts Israēla ķēniņu laiku grāmatā.
35 Jehu died and was buried in Samaria. His son Jehoahaz succeeded him as king.
Un Jeūs aizmiga saviem tēviem pakaļ un viņu apraka Samarijā, un viņa dēls Joakas palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
36 Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria for twenty-eight years.
Un tas laiks, kamēr Jeūs pār Israēli valdījis Samarijā, ir divdesmit un astoņi gadi.
