Kings II 18
1 And David numbered the people with him, and set over them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds.
Un Dāvids pārlūkoja tos ļaudis, kas pie viņa bija, un iecēla tiem virsniekus pār tūkstošiem un virsniekus pār simtiem.
2 And David sent away the people, the third part under the hand of Joab, and the third part under the hand of Abessa the son of Saruia, the brother of Joab, and the third part under the hand of Ethi the Gittite. And David said to the people, I also will surely go out with you.
Un Dāvids lika tos ļaudis, vienu daļu apakš Joaba rokas, un otru daļu apakš Abizajus, Cerujas dēla, Joaba brāļa, un to trešo apakš Itajus no Gatas.
3 And they said, You shall not go out: for if we should indeed flee, they will not care for us; and if half of us should die, they will not mind us; for you [are] as ten thousand of us: and now [it is] well that you shall be to us an aid to help us in the city.
Un ķēniņš sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: es pats arīdzan iziešu līdz ar jums. Bet tie ļaudis sacīja: tev nebūs iziet, jo kad mēs bēgsim, tad tie to neliks vērā; un arī kad puse no mums mirst, tad tie to arī neliks vērā, bet tu esi kā desmit tūkstoši no mums. Tāpēc nu būs labāk, kad tu mums no pilsētas nāksi palīgā.
4 And the king said to them, Whatsoever shall seem good in your eyes I will do. And the king stood by the side of the gate, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands.
Un ķēniņš uz tiem sacīja: es darīšu, kā jums šķiet par labu. Un ķēniņš nostājās pie vārtiem, un visi ļaudis izgāja pa simtiem un pa tūkstošiem.
5 And the king commanded Joab and Abessa and Ethi, saying, Spare for my sake the young man Abessalom. And all the people heard the king charging all the commanders concerning Abessalom.
Un ķēniņš pavēlēja Joabam un Abizajum un Itajum un sacīja: taupiet to puisi, to Absalomu, un visi ļaudis to dzirdēja, ka ķēniņš visiem virsniekiem par Absalomu pavēlēja.
6 And all the people went out into the wood against Israel; and the battle was in the wood of Ephraim.
Tā tie ļaudis izgāja uz lauku Israēlim pretī, un tā kaušanās notika Efraīma mežā.
7 And the people of Israel fell down there before the servants of David, and there was a great slaughter in that day, [even] twenty thousand men.
Un Israēla ļaudis tur tapa kauti no Dāvida kalpiem, un tai dienā notika liela kaušana, līdz divdesmit tūkstošiem.
8 And the battle there was scattered over the face of all the land: and the wood consumed more of the people than the sword consumed among the people in that day.
Jo tā kauja izpletās tur pa visu to apgabalu, un mežs aprija vairāk ļaužu, nekā zobens aprija tai dienā.
9 And Abessalom went to meet the servants of David: and Abessalom was mounted on his mule, and the mule came under the thick boughs of a great oak; and his head was entangled in the oak, and he was suspended between heaven and earth; and the mule passed on from under him.
Un Absaloms sastapa Dāvida kalpus un Absaloms jāja uz zirgēzeļa. Un kad tas zirgēzelis nāca apakš kāda liela ozola kupliem zariem, tad viņa galva ieķērās cieti pie tā ozola, ka viņš karājās starp debesi un zemi, un viņa zirgēzelis apakš viņa aizskrēja projām.
10 And a man saw it, and reported to Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Abessalom hanging in an oak.
Tad viens vīrs to redzēja un to teica Joabam un sacīja: redzi, es redzēju Absalomu karājamies pie kāda ozola.
11 And Joab said to the man who reported it to him, And, behold, you did see him: why did you not strike him there to the ground? and I would have given you ten [pieces] of silver, and a girdle.
Tad Joabs sacīja uz to vīru, kas viņam to teica: redzi, tu esi redzējis, kāpēc tad tu viņu tur neesi kāvis zemē? Tad es tev no savas puses būtu devis desmit sudraba gabalus un vienu jostu.
12 And the man said to Joab, Were I even to receive a thousand shekels of silver, I would not lift my hand against the king's son; for in our ears the king charged you and Abessa and Ethi, saying, Take care of the young man Abessalom for me,
Bet tas vīrs sacīja uz Joabu: un ne par tūkstoš sudraba gabaliem, kad tie taptu iesvērti manā rokā, es savu roku neliktu pie ķēniņa dēla. Jo ķēniņš, mums dzirdot, tev un Abizajum un Itajum ir pavēlējis un sacījis: sargājat ikviens to puisi, to Absalomu.
13 so as to do no harm to his life: and nothing of the matter will be concealed from the king, and you will set yourself against me.
Bet ja es būtu viltu darījis pret viņa dvēseli, un ķēniņam jau nekas nepaliek apslēpts, tad tu pats man būtu stāvējis pretī.
14 And Joab said, I will begin this; I will not thus remain with you. And Joab took three darts in his hand, and thrust them into the heart of Abessalom, while he was yet alive in the heart of the oak.
Un Joabs sacīja: es tā pie tevis nevaru kavēties. Un viņš ņēma trīs šķēpus savā rokā un tos iedūra Absaloma sirdī. Un kad tas vēl bija dzīvs pie ozola,
15 And ten young men that bore Joab's armor compassed Abessalom, and struck him and killed him.
Tad desmit puiši, Joaba bruņunesēji, to apstāja un kāva Absalomu un to nokāva.
16 And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing Israel, for Joab spared the people.
Tad Joabs lika pūst trumetes, un tie ļaudis griezās atpakaļ un Israēlim vairs nedzinās pakaļ; jo Joabs taupīja tos ļaudis.
17 And he took Abessalom, and cast him into a great cavern in the wood, into a deep pit, and set up over him a very great heap of stones: and all Israel fled every man to his tent.
Un tie ņēma Absalomu, un to iemeta mežā lielā bedrē, un uzkrāva tam virsū ļoti lielu akmeņu kopu. Un viss Israēls bēga, ikkatrs savā dzīvoklī.
18 Now Abessalom while yet alive had taken and set up for himself the pillar near which he was taken, and set it up so as to have the pillar in the king's dale; for he said he had no son to keep his name in remembrance: and he called the pillar, Abessalom's hand, until this day.
Bet Absaloms, kamēr vēl bija dzīvs, bija ņēmis un uzcēlis sev stabu ķēniņa ielejā. Jo viņš sacīja: man dēla nav, lai mans vārds pie tā top pieminēts. Un viņš to stabu bija nosaucis pēc sava vārda, un tas vēl šodien top saukts Absaloma stabs.
19 And Achimaas the son of Sadoc said, Let me run now and carry glad tidings to the king, for the Lord has delivered him from the hand of his enemies.
Tad Aķimaācs, Cadoka dēls, sacīja: es skriešu un nesīšu ķēniņam vēsti, ka Tas Kungs viņam tiesu iznesis no viņa ienaidnieku rokas.
20 And Joab said to him, You [shall] not [be] a messenger of glad tidings this day; you shall bear them another day; but on this day you shall bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead.
Bet Joabs uz to sacīja: šodien tu neesi prieka vēstnesis, citu dienu tu vari vēstis nest, bet šodien tev labas vēsts nav, ko nest, jo ķēniņa dēls ir miris.
21 And Joab said to Chusi, Go, report to the king all that you have seen. And Chusi did obeisance to Joab, and went out.
Un Joabs sacīja uz Kuzu: ej tu un teici ķēniņam, ko tu esi redzējis. Tad Kuzus paklanījās Joaba priekšā un aizskrēja.
22 And Achimaas the son of Sadoc said again to Joab, Nay, let me also run after Chusi. And Joab said, Why would you thus run, my son? attend, you have no tidings for profit if you go.
Bet Aķimaācs, Cadoka dēls, runāja vēl uz Joabu: lai būtu kā būdams, liec man jel arī Kuzum skriet pakaļ. Un Joabs sacīja: kāpēc tad tu gribi skriet, mans dēls? Ej tad, - laba vēsts tā nav, kas ko ienes.
23 And he said, Why should I not run? and Joab said to him, Run. And Achimaas ran along the way of Kechar, and outran Chusi.
(Viņš sacīja: ) lai būtu kā būdams, es skriešu! Un viņš uz to sacīja: tad skrej! Tad Aķimaācs skrēja pa klajuma ceļu un Kuzum aiztika priekšā.
24 And David was sitting between the two gates: and the watchman went up on the top of the gate of the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold a man running alone before him.
Un Dāvids sēdēja starp abiem vārtiem. Tad tas sargs kāpa uz vārtu jumtu un mūri un pacēla savas acis un skatījās, un redzi, tur vīrs skrēja viens pats.
25 And the watchman cried out, and reported to the king. And the king said, If he be alone, [there are] good tidings in his mouth. And the man came and drew near.
Un tas sargs sauca un to sacīja ķēniņam. Un ķēniņš sacīja: ja viņš viens pats, tad būs laba vēsts viņa mutē; un tas nāca arvien tuvāki klāt.
26 And the watchman saw another man running: and the watchman cried at the gate, and said, And look, another man running alone. And the king said, He also brings glad tidings.
Tad tas sargs redzēja otru vīru skrienam, un tas sargs sauca uz vārtiem un sacīja: raugi, vēl otrs vīrs skrien viens pats. Un ķēniņš sacīja: tas arī ir labs vēstnesis.
27 And the watchman said, I see the running of the first as the running of Achimaas the son of Sadoc. And the king said, He [is] a good man, and will come to [report] glad tidings.
Un tas sargs sacīja: es redzu, ka tā pirmā gaita ir kā Aķimaāca, Cadoka dēla, gaita, un ķēniņš sacīja: tas ir labs vīrs un nāks ar labu vēsti.
28 And Achimaas cried out and said to the king, Peace. And he did obeisance to the king with his face to the ground, and said, Blessed [be] the Lord your God, who has delivered up the men that lifted up their hands against my lord the king.
Tad Aķimaācs sauca un sacīja uz ķēniņu: miers! Un viņš nometās ķēniņa priekšā ar savu vaigu pie zemes un sacīja: slavēts ir Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, kas tos vīrus nodevis, kas savu roku pret manu kungu, to ķēniņu, bija pacēluši.
29 And the king said, [Is] the young man Abessalom safe? and Achimaas said, I saw a great multitude [at the time] of Joab's sending the king's servant and your servant, and I knew not what was there.
Tad ķēniņš sacīja: vai tas puisis Absaloms sveiks vesels? Un Aķimaācs sacīja: es redzēju lielu troksni, kad Joabs tā ķēniņa kalpu un mani, tavu kalpu, nosūtīja, bet es nezinu, kas tur bija.
30 And the king said, Turn aside, stand still here. And he turned aside, and stood.
Un ķēniņš sacīja: ej un nostājies te. Tad viņš gāja un nostājās.
31 And, behold, Chusi came up, and said to the king, Let my lord the king hear glad tidings, for the Lord has avenged you this day upon all them that rose up against you.
Un redzi, Kuzus nāca, un Kuzus sacīja: manam kungam, tam ķēniņam, tā labā vēsts, ka Tas Kungs tev šodien ir tiesu iznesis no visu to rokas, kas pret tevi cēlās.
32 And the king said to Chusi, Is it well with the young man Abessalom? and Chusi said, Let the enemies of my lord the king, and all whoever have risen up against him for evil, be as that young man.
Tad ķēniņš sacīja uz Kuzu: vai tas puisis Absaloms sveiks un vesels? Un Kuzus sacīja: lai tā kā šim jauneklim, iet mana kunga, tā ķēniņa, ienaidniekiem un visiem, kas pret tevi ar ļaunumu ceļas.
33 And the king was troubled, and went to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and thus he said as he went, My son Abessalom, my son, my son Abessalom; would God I had died for you, [even] I [had died] for you, Abessalom, my son, my son!
Tad ķēniņš noskuma un gāja vārtu augšistabā un raudāja, un sacīja iedams: mans dēls Absalom! Mans dēls, mans dēls Absalom! Kaut es tavā vietā būtu miris! Ak Absalom! Mans dēls, mans dēls!
