< 1 Kings 18 >
1 After many dayes, the worde of the Lord came to Eliiah, in the third yeere, saying, Goe, shewe thy selfe vnto Ahab, and I will sende rayne vpon the earth.
Un pēc ilga laika Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Eliju trešā gadā tā: ej, rādies Ahabam, un Es došu lietu zemes virsū.
2 And Eliiah went to shew himselfe vnto Ahab, and there was a great famine in Samaria.
Un Elija nogāja, Ahabam rādīties, bet bads Samarijā bija grūts.
3 And Ahab called Obadiah the gouernour of his house: (and Obadiah feared God greatly:
Un Ahabs bija aicinājis nama uzraugu Obadiju, un Obadija bijās To Kungu ļoti.
4 For when Iezebel destroyed the Prophets of the Lord, Obadiah tooke an hundreth Prophets, and hid them, by fiftie in a caue, and he fed them with bread and water.)
Jo kad Izebele bija izdeldējusi Tā Kunga praviešus, tad Obadija ņēma simts praviešus un tos apslēpa pa piecdesmit vienā alā un tos uzturēja ar maizi un ūdeni.
5 And Ahab saide vnto Obadiah, Goe into the land, vnto all the fountaines of water, and vnto all the riuers, if so be that we may finde grasse to saue the horses and the mules aliue, lest we depriue the lande of the beastes.
Un Ahabs bija sacījis uz Obadiju: ej pa to zemi pie visiem ūdens avotiem un pie visām upēm, vai mēs neatradīsim zāli, ka dzīvus uzturam zirgus un zirgēzeļus, ka tie lopi visai neiet bojā.
6 And so they deuided the lande betweene them to walke thorowe it. Ahab went one way by him selfe, and Obadiah went another way by him selfe.
Un tie to zemi dalīja savā starpā, to parstaigāt; Ahabs gaja viens pa vienu ceļu, un Obadija gāja arīdzan viens pa otru ceļu.
7 And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Eliiah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art not thou my lord Eliiah?
Kad nu Obadija bija ceļā, redzi, tad Elija tam nāca pretī, un viņš to pazīdams metās uz savu vaigu un sacīja: vai tu neesi mans kungs Elija?
8 And he answered him, Yea, goe tell thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here.
Un viņš sacīja: es tas esmu, ej, saki savam kungam: redzi, Elija ir še.
9 And he said, What haue I sinned, that thou wouldest deliuer thy seruant into the hande of Ahab, to slay me?
Bet viņš sacīja: ko es esmu grēkojis, ka tu savu kalpu dod Ahabam rokā, ka es topu nokauts?
10 As the Lord thy God liueth, there is no nation or kingdome, whither my lorde hath not sent to seeke thee: and when they sayd, He is not here, he tooke an othe of the kingdome and nation, if they had not found thee.
Tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, dzīvo, nav nevienas tautas, nedz valsts, kurp mans kungs nebūtu sūtījis, tevi meklēt. Un kad tie sacīja: še viņa nav, tad viņš tai valstij un tai tautai lika zvērēt, ka tie tevi nebija atraduši.
11 And now thou sayest, Goe, tell thy lorde, Beholde, Eliiah is here.
Un nu tu saki: ej, saki savam kungam, redzi, Elija ir še.
12 And when I am gone from thee, the Spirit of the Lord shall cary thee into some place that I doe not know: so when I come and tell Ahab, if he cannot finde thee, then wil he kill me: But I thy seruant feare the Lord from my youth.
Un notiks, kad es no tevis aiziešu, un Tā Kunga gars tevi aizņems, kas zin kur, un ja es būtu gājis Ahabam to sacīt, un viņš tevi pēc neatrastu, tad viņš mani nokautu. Bet es tavs kalps bīstos To Kungu no savām jaunām dienām.
13 Was it not tolde my lord, what I did when Iezebel slew the Prophets of the Lord, how I hid an hundreth men of the Lordes Prophets by fifties in a caue, and fed them with bread and water?
Vai manam kungam nav sacīts, ko es esmu darījis, kad Izebele nokāva Tā Kunga praviešus, ka es simtu no Tā Kunga praviešiem apslēpu pa piecdesmit vienā alā un tos uzturēju ar maizi un ūdeni?
14 And now thou sayest, Go, tel thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here, that he may slay me.
Un nu tu saki: ej, saki savam kungam, redzi, Elija ir še; tad jau viņš mani nokaus.
15 And Eliiah said, As the Lord of hostes liueth, before whome I stand, I will surely shewe my selfe vnto him this day.
Tad Elija uz to sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs Cebaot dzīvo, ka priekšā es stāvu, es šodien viņam rādīšos.
16 So Obadiah went to meete Ahab, and tolde him: And Ahab went to meete Eliiah.
Tad Obadija nogāja Ahabam pretī un viņam to sacīja. Un Ahabs gāja Elijam pretī.
17 And when Ahab saw Eliiah, Ahab said vnto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
Un kad Ahabs Eliju ieraudzīja, tad Ahabs uz to sacīja: vai tu tas esi, kas Israēli sajauc?
18 And he answered, I haue not troubled Israel, but thou, and thy fathers house, in that ye haue forsaken the commandements of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim.
Un viņš sacīja: es Israēli neesmu sajaucis, bet tu un tava tēva nams, caur to, ka jūs esat atstājuši Tā Kunga baušļus un Baāliem pakaļ staigājuši.
19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel vnto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal foure hundreth and fiftie, and the prophets of the groues foure hundreth, which eate at Iezebels table.
Un nu sūti, sapulcini pie manis visu Israēli Karmeļa kalnā un tos četrsimt un piecdesmit Baāla praviešus un tos četrsimt Ašeras praviešus, kas ēd pie Izebeles galda.
20 So Ahab sent vnto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together vnto mount Carmel.
Tad Ahabs izsūtīja pie visiem Israēla bērniem un sapulcināja tos praviešus Karmeļa kalnā.
21 And Eliiah came vnto all the people, and said, How long halt ye betweene two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal be he, then goe after him. And the people answered him not a worde.
Tad Elija piegāja pie visiem ļaudīm un sacīja: cik ilgi jūs klibosiet uz abējām pusēm? Ja Tas Kungs ir Dievs, tad ejat viņam pakaļ, bet ja Baāls tas ir, tad ejat tam pakaļ. Un tie ļaudis tam neatbildēja ne vārda.
22 Then said Eliiah vnto the people, I onely remayne a Prophet of the Lord: but Baals prophets are foure hundreth and fiftie men.
Tad Elija sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: es viens vienīgs esmu atlicis, Tā Kunga pravietis, bet Baāla praviešu ir četrsimt un piecdesmit.
23 Let them therefore giue vs two bullockes, and let them chuse the one, and cut him in pieces, and lay him on the wood, but put no fire vnder, and I will prepare the other bullocke, and lay him on the wood, and will put no fire vnder.
Un dodiet nu mums divus vēršus, un lai tie to vienu vērsi izvēlās un sacērt gabalos un liek uz malku, bet uguni tiem nebūs pielikt; tad es sataisīšu arī to otru vērsi un to likšu uz malku un nelikšu uguni klāt.
24 Then call ye on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and then the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered, and sayde, It is well spoken.
Tad piesauciet jūs sava dieva vārdu, bet es piesaukšu Tā Kunga vārdu: kurš Dievs nu ar uguni atbildēs, tas lai ir Dievs. Tad visi ļaudis atbildēja un sacīja: šis vārds ir labs.
25 And Eliiah said vnto the prophets of Baal, Chuse you a bullocke, and prepare him first, (for ye are many) and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire vnder.
Un Elija sacīja uz tiem Baāla praviešiem: izvēlaties to vienu vērsi un sataisiet to papriekš, jo jūs esat daudzi un piesauciet sava dieva vārdu, bet uguni neliekat klāt.
26 So they tooke the one bullocke, that was giuen them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal, from morning to noone, saying, O Baal, heare vs: but there was no voyce, nor any to answere: and they leapt vpon the altar that was made.
Tad tie ņēma to vērsi, ko viņš tiem deva un to sataisīja un piesauca Baāla vārdu no rīta līdz dienasvidum sacīdami: Baāl, paklausi mūs! Bet tur nebija ne balss, ne atbildes! Un tie lēkāja ap to altāri, kas bija taisīts.
27 And at noone Eliiah mocked them, and said, Crye loude: for he is a god: either he talketh or pursueth his enemies, or is in his iourney, or it may be that he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
Un ap dienasvidu Elija tos apsmēja un sacīja: sauciet stiprā balsī, jo viņš taču ir dievs; viņš laikam ir domās vai darīšanās vai ceļā, varbūt ka viņš guļ, lai uzmostas.
28 And they cryed loude, and cut them selues as their maner was, with kniues and launcers, till the blood gushed out vpon them.
Un tie sauca ar stipru balsi un iegriezās pēc sava ieraduma ar nažiem un īleniem, kamēr tiem asinis tecēja.
29 And when midday was passed, and they had prophecied vntil the offring of the euening sacrifice, there was neither voyce, nor one to answere, nor any that regarded.
Kad nu pusdiena jau bija pāri, tad tie vēl muldēja līdz ēdamā upura laikam; bet tur nebija ne balss, ne atbildes, ne uzklausīšanās.
30 And Eliiah said vnto all the people, Come to me. And all the people came to him. And he repayred the altar of the Lord that was broken downe.
Tad Elija sacīja uz visiem ļaudīm: nāciet šurp pie manis. Tad visi ļaudis pie tā piegāja, un viņš uztaisīja atkal Tā Kunga altāri, kas bija salauzts.
31 And Eliiah tooke twelue stones, according to the nomber of the tribes of the sonnes of Iaakob, (vnto whome the worde of the Lord came, saying, Israel shalbe thy name)
Un Elija ņēma divpadsmit akmeņus pēc Jēkaba bērnu skaita, uz ko Tā Kunga vārds bija noticis, sacīdams: tavu vārdu būs saukt Israēli.
32 And with the stones he buylt an altar in the Name of the Lord: and he made a ditch round about the altar, as great as woulde conteine two measures of seede.
Un viņš uztaisīja no tiem akmeņiem altāri Tā Kunga Vārdā, un taisīja bedri ap to altāri, tik platu, ka tur divi mēri labības varēja saiet.
33 And he put the wood in order, and hewed the bullocke in pieces, and layd him on the wood,
Un viņš salika malku un dalīja to vērsi gabalos un to nolika uz to malku.
34 And said, Fill foure barrels with water, and powre it on the burnt offring and on the wood. Againe he said, Doe so againe. And they did so the second time. And he sayde, Doe it the third time. And they did it the third time.
Un viņš sacīja: pildiet četrus traukus ar ūdeni un lejiet to uz to dedzināmo upuri un uz to malku. Un viņš sacīja: dariet to vēl otru reizi. Un tie to darīja otru reizi. Un viņš sacīja: dariet to trešo reizi, un tie to darīja trešo reizi.
35 And the water ran round about the altar: and he filled the ditch with water also.
Un ūdens tecēja ap altāri, un bedre tapa pilna ar ūdeni.
36 And when they should offer the euening sacrifice, Eliiah the Prophet came, and sayd, Lord God of Abraham, Izhak and of Israel, let it be knowen this day, that thou art the God of Israel, and that I am thy seruant, and that I haue done all these things at thy commandement.
Un ap ēdamā upura laiku pravietis Elija piegāja un sacīja: Kungs, Ābrahāma, Īzaka un Israēla Dievs, šodien lai top zināms, ka Tu esi Dievs iekš Israēla un es Tavs kalps, un ka visu šo esmu darījis uz Tavu vārdu;
37 Heare me, O Lord, heare me, and let this people know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart againe at the last.
Paklausi mani, Kungs, paklausi mani, lai šie ļaudis atzīst, ka Tu Kungs esi Dievs, un ka Tu viņu sirdi atgriezi atpakaļ.
38 Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt offring, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked vp the water that was in the ditche.
Tad Tā Kunga uguns krita zemē un aprija to dedzināmo upuri un to malku un tos akmeņus un to zemi un uzlaizīja arī to ūdeni bedrē.
39 And when all the people sawe it, they fell on their faces, and saide, The Lord is God, the Lord is God.
Kad nu visi ļaudis to redzēja, tad tie metās uz savu vaigu un sacīja: Tas Kungs ir Dievs, Tas Kungs ir Dievs.
40 And Elijah said vnto them, Take the prophets of Baal, let not a man of them escape. and they tooke them, and Eliiah brought them to the brooke Kishon, and slewe them there.
Un Elija uz tiem sacīja: grābiet Baāla praviešus, ka neviens no tiem neizsprūk! Tad tie tos sagrāba. Un Elija tos noveda pie Ķizones upes un tos tur nokāva.
41 And Eliiah sayde vnto Ahab, Get thee vp, eate and drinke, for there is a sound of much rayne.
Tad Elija sacīja uz Ahabu: celies, ēd un dzer, jo šņāc kā uz lietu.
42 So Ahab went vp to eate and to drinke, and Eliiah went vp to the top of Carmel: and he crouched vnto the earth, and put his face betweene his knees,
Un Ahabs gāja ēst un dzert, bet Elija gāja Karmeļa kalna galā un metās zemē un lika savu vaigu starp saviem ceļiem.
43 And sayde to his seruant, Goe vp now and looke towarde the way of the Sea. And he went vp, and looked, and sayde, There is nothing. Againe he sayd, Goe againe seuen times.
Un viņš sacīja uz savu puisi: ej jel un skaties uz jūru. Tad tas gāja un skatījās un sacīja: tur nav nekā. Tad viņš sacīja: ej atkal! Septiņām lāgām.
44 And at the seuenth time he sayd, Behold, there ariseth a litle cloude out of the sea like a mans hand. Then he sayd, Vp, and say vnto Ahab, Make readie thy charet, and get thee downe, that the raine stay thee not.
Un septītā reizē viņš sacīja: redzi, mazs mākonīts, kā vīra plauksta, ceļas no jūras. Tad viņš sacīja: noej, saki Ahabam jūdz un brauc, ka lietus tevi neaizņem.
45 And in the meane while the heauen was blacke with cloudes and winde, and there was a great rayne. Then Ahab went vp and came to Izreel.
Un pēc tam debess apmācās ar melniem mākoņiem un vētru un stiprs lietus gāzās. Un Ahabs sēdās ratos un brauca uz Jezreēli.
46 And the hand of the Lord was on Eliiah, and he girded vp his Ioynes, and ran before Ahab till he came to Izreel.
Un Tā Kunga roka nāca pār Eliju, un tas apjoza savus gurnus un skrēja Ahabam pa priekšu līdz Jezreēlei.
