< 2 Samuel 12 >
1 The Lord sent Nathan to see David. When he got there, he said, “Once there were two men living in the same town. One was rich, and one was poor.
Un Tas Kungs sūtīja Nātanu pie Dāvida. Un tas gāja pie viņa un uz to sacīja: divi vīri bija vienā pilsētā, viens bagāts un otrs nabags.
2 The rich man had many thousands of sheep and cattle,
Un tam bagātam bija ļoti daudz avju un vēršu.
3 but the poor man didn't have anything but one small ewe lamb that he had bought. He cared for it, and it grew up with him and his children. It would eat from his plate and drank from his cup. It slept on his lap and was like a daughter to him.
Bet tam nabagam nebija it nekā kā viens vienīgs jēriņš, ko viņš bija pircis un uzaudzinājis, un tas pie viņa bija uzaudzis kopā ar viņa bērniem; tas ēda no viņa kumosa un dzēra no viņa biķera un gulēja viņa klēpī un bija viņam tā kā bērns.
4 One day the rich man had a visitor. He didn't want to take one of his own sheep or cattle to feed his visitor. He took the poor man's lamb instead to prepare a meal for his visitor.”
Kad nu pie tā bagātā vīra atnāca ceļinieks, tad tam bija žēl ņemt no savām avīm un no saviem vēršiem, ko laba sataisīt tam ceļiniekam, kas pie viņa bija atnācis, un viņš ņēma tā nabaga vīra jēriņu un to sataisīja tam vīram, kas pie viņa bija atnācis.
5 David became absolutely furious with what that man did, and angrily told Nathan. “As the Lord lives, the man who did this should be put to death!
Tad Dāvids dusmās iedegās pret to vīru varen ļoti un viņš sacīja uz Nātanu: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvs, tas vīrs, kas to darījis, pelnījis nāvi.
6 He must repay that lamb with four of his own for doing this, for being so heartless.”
Un to jēru tam būs četrkārtīgi atdot, tāpēc ka viņš tā darījis un ka nav žēlojis.
7 “You are that man!” Nathan told David. “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I anointed you king of Israel, and I saved you from Saul.
Tad Nātans sacīja uz Dāvidu: tu esi tas vīrs. Tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: Es tevi par ķēniņu esmu svaidījis Israēlim, un tevi esmu izpestījis no Saula rokas,
8 I gave your master's house to you and placed your master's wives in your lap. I gave you the kingdom of Israel and Judah, and if that hadn't been enough, I would have given you so much more.
Un tev esmu devis tava kunga namu, un tava kunga sievas tavā klēpī, un Es tev esmu devis arī Israēla un Jūda namu. Un ja tas vēl nepietiek, tad Es šo un to vēl gribēju pielikt.
9 So why have you treated what Lord said with contempt by doing evil in his sight? You killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword and stole his wife—you killed him using the sword of the Ammonites.
Kāpēc tu tad Tā Kunga vārdu esi laidis pār galvu, darīdams, kas ļauns priekš Viņa acīm? To Etieti Ūriju tu esi nokāvis ar zobenu un viņa sievu sev ņēmis par sievu, bet viņu tu esi nokāvis ar Amona bērnu zobenu.
10 So your descendants will always face the sword that kills because you treated me with contempt and stole Uriah's wife.
Nu tad zobens neatstāsies no tava nama ne mūžam, tāpēc ka tu Mani esi nicinājis un tā Hetieša Ūrijas sievu ņēmis sev par sievu.
11 This is what the Lord says: I'm going to bring disaster in you from your own family. I will take your wives before your very eyes and give them to someone else, and he will sleep openly with your wives where everyone can see.
Tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, Es vedīšu nelaimi pār tevi no tava paša nama un ņemšu tavas sievas priekš tavām acīm un tās došu tavam tuvākam; tas pie tavām sievām gulēs pašā saulē.
12 You did it all in secret, but I will do it openly where everyone in all of Israel can see.”
Jo tu to esi darījis slepeni, bet Es to darīšu visa Israēla priekšā un pašā saulē.
13 David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” “The Lord has forgiven your sins. You're not going to die,” Nathan replied.
Tad Dāvids sacīja uz Nātanu: es esmu grēkojis pret To Kungu. Un Nātans sacīja uz Dāvidu: tad nu Tas Kungs arī tavus grēkus ir atņēmis; tev nebūs mirt.
14 “But because by doing this you have treated the Lord with complete contempt, the son you have will die.”
Tomēr tāpēc ka tu caur šo lietu Tā Kunga ienaidniekiem esi devis tiešām iemeslu zaimot, tad arī tam dēlam, kas tev dzimis, būs mirt.
15 Then Nathan went home. The Lord made the child that Uriah's wife had borne to David become very sick.
Un Nātans gāja savā namā. Un Tas Kungs sita to bērnu, ko Ūrijas sieva Dāvidam bija dzemdējusi, ka tas palika ļoti slims.
16 David pleaded with God on behalf of the boy. He fasted, went to his bedroom, and spent the night lying in sackcloth on the ground.
Un Dāvids meklēja Dievu par to bērnu, un Dāvids gavēja un iegāja un gulēja par nakti pie zemes.
17 His senior officials approached him and tried to help him up from the ground, but he didn't want to, and he refused their appeals to eat.
Tad visi viņa nama vecaji gāja pie viņa un viņu gribēja uzcelt no zemes, bet viņš negribēja un neēda maizes ar tiem.
18 On the seventh day the child died. But David's officials were scared to tell him that the child was dead, for they said to each other, “Look, while the child was still alive, we talked with him, and he refused to listen to us. How on earth can we tell him the child is dead? He may do something really bad!”
Un septītā dienā tas bērns nomira. Un Dāvida kalpi bijās viņam sacīt, ka tas bērns miris. Jo tie sacīja: redzi, kamēr tas bērns vēl bija dzīvs, tad mēs ar viņu runājām, un viņš negribēja mūsu balsi klausīt, kā tad lai viņam sakām, ka tas bērns miris, lai viņš nepadara ko ļauna?
19 But David saw his officials were whispering among themselves, he realized that the child was dead. So he asked his officials, “Did the child die?” “Yes, he died,” they replied.
Bet Dāvids redzēja, ka viņa kalpi klusiņām savā starpā runāja, un Dāvids manīja, ka tas bērns miris. Un Dāvids sacīja uz saviem kalpiem: vai tas bērns miris? Un tie sacīja: miris.
20 David got up from the ground, washed and put on scented oils, and changed his clothes. Then he went to the house of the Lord and worshiped. Afterwards he went back home, and asked for some food. So they served him a meal which he ate.
Tad Dāvids cēlās no zemes un mazgājās un svaidījās un pārmija savas drēbes un gāja Tā Kunga namā un pielūdza. Pēc viņš nāca savā namā un pavēlēja, lai viņam maizi ceļ priekšā, un ēda.
21 “Why are you acting like this?” his officials asked him. “While the child was still alive, you fasted and cried aloud, but now that he's dead, you get up and eat.”
Tad viņa kalpi uz viņu sacīja: kas tas ir, ko tu dari? Kad tas bērns bija dzīvs, tad tu gavēji un raudāji, un kad nu tas bērns miris, tad tu celies un ēdi maizi?
22 David replied, “While the child was still alive, I fasted and cried aloud, for I thought to myself, ‘Who knows? Maybe the Lord will be gracious to me and let him live.’
Un viņš sacīja: kamēr tas bērns vēl bija dzīvs, es gavēju un raudāju, jo es domāju, kas zin, vai Tas Kungs par mani neapžēlosies, ka tas bērns paliek dzīvs.
23 But now that he's dead, what's the point for me to go on fasting? Can I bring him back again? One day I will die and go to him, but he will never come back to me.”
Bet kad tas nu miris, kāpēc man būs gavēt? Vai es to vēl varēšu vest atpakaļ? Es gan iešu pie viņa, bet viņš pie manis atpakaļ negriezīsies.
24 David consoled his wife Bathsheba, and he made love to her. She gave birth to a son, and named him Solomon. The Lord loved the child,
Un Dāvids iepriecināja Batsebu, savu sievu, un iegāja pie tās un gulēja pie tās. Un tā dzemdēja dēlu un tas nosauca viņa vārdu Salamanu. Un Tas Kungs to mīlēja.
25 so he sent a message through Nathan the prophet to name him Jedidiah, because the Lord loved him.
Un viņš deva pavēli caur pravieti Nātanu, un šis nosauca viņa vārdu JedidJa (t.i. Dieva mīlēts) Tā Kunga dēļ.
26 At this time Joab had been fighting against the Ammonite town of Rabbah, and had captured the royal fortress.
Un Joabs karoja pret Rabu, Amona bērnu pilsētu, un ieņēma to ķēniņa pilsētu.
27 Joab sent messengers to David to tell him, “I have attacked Rabbah and I have also captured its water supply.
Tad Joabs sūtīja vēstnešus pie Dāvida un sacīja: es pret Rabu esmu karojis un pilsētas lejas daļu jau ieņēmis.
28 So please call up the rest of the army, besiege the town, and capture it. Otherwise I will capture the city, and I will get the credit.”
Tad nu sapulcini tos atlikušos ļaudis un apmeties pret to pilsētu un ieņem to, lai es neieņemu to pilsētu, un slava par to lai nepaliek man.
29 So David called up the rest of the army and marched on Rabbah. He attacked it and captured it.
Tad Dāvids sapulcināja visus ļaudis un nogāja uz Rabu un karoja pret to un to ieņēma,
30 He took the crown from the head of their king, and it was placed on David's head. It weighed a talent of gold and was decorated with precious stones. David took a large amount of plunder from the town.
Un ņēma viņu ķēniņa kroni no viņa galvas, tam svars bija viens talents zelta un dārgu akmeņu, un tas Dāvidam tapa likts uz galvu; viņš arī ļoti lielu laupījumu izveda no tās pilsētas.
31 David took the inhabitants and forced them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes, and he also made them work making bricks. He did the same in all the Ammonite towns. Then David and the whole Israelite army returned to Jerusalem.
Un tos ļaudis, kas tur bija, viņš izveda un tos lika apakš zāģiem un apakš kuļamiem dzelzs ruļļiem un apakš dzelzs cirvjiem, un tos lika ķieģeļu cepļos. Tā viņš darīja visām Amona bērnu pilsētām. Un Dāvids un visi ļaudis griezās atpakaļ uz Jeruzālemi.
