< Judges 9 >

1 And Abimelech son of Jerobaal went to Sychem to his mother's brethren; and he spoke to them and to all the kindred of the house of his mother's father, saying,
Un Abimeleks, JerubBaāla dēls, gāja uz Šehemi pie savas mātes brāļiem un runāja uz tiem un uz visiem savas mātes tēva nama radiem un sacīja:
2 Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Sychem, saying, Which [is] better for you, that seventy men, even all the sons of Jerobaal, should reign over you, or that one man should reign over you? and remember that I am your bone and your flesh.
Runājiet lūdzami priekš visu namnieku ausīm Šehemē: kas jums ir labāki, vai ka septiņdesmit vīri, visi JerubBaāla dēli, pār jums valda, vai ka viens vīrs pār jums valda? Pieminiet, mani arīdzan esam jūsu kaulu un jūsu miesu.
3 And his mother's brethren spoke concerning him in the ears of all the men of Sychem all these words; and their heart turned after Abimelech, for they said, He is our brother.
Tad viņa mātes brāļi viņa dēļ runāja priekš visu namnieku ausīm Šehemē visus šos vārdus un viņu sirds nesās uz Abimeleku, jo tie sacīja: viņš ir mūsu brālis.
4 And they gave him seventy [pieces] of silver out of the house of Baalberith; and Abimelech hired for himself vain and cowardly men, and they went after him.
Un tie viņam deva septiņdesmit sudraba sēķeļus no BaālBerita nama, un Abimeleks ar tiem saderēja neliešus un nebēdniekus, kas viņam staigāja pakaļ.
5 And he went to the house of his father to Ephratha, and killed his brethren the sons of Jerobaal, seventy men upon one stone; but Joatham the youngest son of Jerobaal was left, for he hid himself.
Un viņš nāca sava tēva namā uz Ovru un nokāva savus brāļus, JerubBaāla bērnus, septiņdesmit vīrus uz viena akmens; bet Jotams, JerubBaāla jaunākais dēls, atlika, jo viņš bija paslēpies.
6 And all the men of Sicima, and all the house of Bethmaalo, were gathered together, and they went and made Abimelech king by the oak of Sedition, which was at Sicima.
Tad visi Šehemes namnieki sapulcējās un viss Millus nams, un tie nogāja un iecēla Abimeleku par ķēniņu pie tā piemiņas ozola, kas ir Šehemē.
7 And it was reported to Joatham, and he went and stood on the top of mount Garizin, and lifted up his voice, and wept, and said to them, Hear me, you men of Sicima, and God shall hear you.
Kad to Jotamam teica, tad viņš nogāja un nostājās Gerizima kalna paša galā un pacēla savu balsi un sauca un sacīja: klausāties mani, jūs Šehemes namnieki, tad Dievs arī jūs klausīs.
8 The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said to the olive, Reign over us.
Koki gāja, ķēniņu pār sevi svaidīt, un sacīja uz eļļas koku: esi ķēniņš pār mums.
9 But the olives said to them, Shall I leave my fatness, with which men shall glorify God, and go to be promoted over the trees?
Bet eļļas koks uz tiem sacīja: vai man būs atstāt savu taukumu, ko Dievs un cilvēki pie manis slavē, un noiet un līgoties pa koku virsu?
10 And the trees said to the fig tree, Come, reign over us.
Tad tie koki sacīja uz vīģes koku: nāc tu, esi ķēniņš pār mums.
11 But the fig tree said to them, Shall I leave my sweetness an my good fruits, and go to be promoted over the trees?
Bet vīģes koks uz tiem sacīja: vai man būs atstāt savu saldumu un savus labos augļus un noiet un līgoties pa koku virsu?
12 And the trees said to the vine, Come, reign over us.
Tad tie koki sacīja uz vīnakoku: nāc tu un esi ķēniņš pār mums.
13 And the vine said to them, Shall I leave my wine that cheers God and men, and go to be promoted over the trees?
Bet vīnakoks uz tiem sacīja: vai man būs atstāt savu vīnu, kas dievus un cilvēkus iepriecina, un noiet un līgoties pa koku virsu?
14 Then all the trees said to the bramble, Come you and [reign] over us.
Tad visi koki sacīja uz ērkšķu krūmu: nāc tu un esi ķēniņš pār mums.
15 And the bramble said to the trees, If you in truth anoint me to reign over you, come, stand under my shadow; and if not, let fire come out from me and devour the cedars of Libanus.
Tad ērkšķu krūms uz tiem kokiem sacīja: kad jūs tiešām mani svaidiet sev par ķēniņu, tad nāciet un uzticaties manai paēnai, bet ja ne, tad lai uguns iziet no ērkšķu krūma un norij Lībanus ciedru kokus.
16 And now, if you have done it in truth and integrity, and have made Abimelech king, and if you have wrought well with Jerobaal, and with his house, and if you have done to him according to the reward of his hand,
Un nu, vai jūs esat taisni un pareizi darījuši, Abimeleku celdami par ķēniņu, un vai jūs esat labi darījuši pie JerubBaāla un viņa nama un viņam darījuši pēc viņa roku nopelna?
17 as my father fought for you, and put his life in jeopardy, and delivered you out of the hand of Madiam;
Jo mans tēvs jūsu dēļ karojis un savu dzīvību nometis un jūs izglābis no Midijaniešu rokas,
18 and you are risen up this day against the house of my father, and have slain his sons, being seventy men, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech the son of his bondwoman king over the men of Sicima, because he is your brother:
Bet jūs šodien esat cēlušies pret mana tēva namu un nokāvuši viņa dēlus, septiņdesmit vīrus uz viena akmens, un esat iecēluši Abimeleku,
19 if then you have done truly and faithfully with Jerobaal, and with his house this day, rejoice you in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice over you:
Ja nu jūs šodien taisni un pareizi esat darījuši pie JerubBaāla un pie viņa nama, tad priecājaties par Abimeleku, un lai viņš arīdzan priecājās par jums.
20 but if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Sicima, and the house of Bethmaalo; and let fire come out from the men of Sicima and from the house of Bethmaalo, and devour Abimelech.
Bet ja ne, tad lai uguns iziet no Abimeleka un norij Šehemes namniekus un Millus namu, un lai uguns iziet no Šehemes namniekiem un no Millus nama un norij Abimeleku.
21 And Joatham fled, and ran away, and went as far as Baeer, and lived there out of the way of his brother Abimelech.
Tad Jotams bēga un aizbēga uz Beru un dzīvoja tur, no sava brāļa Abimeleka bīdamies.
22 And Abimelech reigned over Israel three years.
Kad nu Abimeleks trīs gadus bija valdījis pār Israēli,
23 And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Sicima; and the men of Sicima dealt treacherously with the house of Abimelech:
Tad Dievs sūtīja ļaunu garu starp Abimeleku un Šehemes namniekiem, un Šehemes namnieki turējās viltīgi pret Abimeleku,
24 to bring the injury done to the seventy sons of Jerobaal, and to lay their blood upon their brother Abimelech, who killed them, and upon the men of Sicima, because they strengthened his hands to kill his brethren.
Ka tas varas darbs pie tiem septiņdesmit JerubBaāla dēliem nāktu un viņa asinis grieztos uz Abimeleku, viņu brāli, kas tos bija nokāvis, un tos, kas bija stiprinājuši, savus brāļus nokaut.
25 And the men of Sicima set liers in wait against him on the top of the mountains, and robbed every one who passed by them on the way; and it was reported to the king Abimelech.
Un Šehemes namnieki sūtīja kādus, kas ar viltu uz viņu glūnēja kalna galos, un tie visus aplaupīja, kas pa to ceļu gāja, un tas Abimelekam tapa sacīts.
26 And Gaal son of Jobel came, and his brethren, and passed by Sicima, and the men of Sicima trusted in him.
Un Gaāls, Ebeda dēls, nāca ar saviem brāļiem un gāja uz Šehemi, un Šehemes namnieki viņam uzticējās,
27 And they went out into the field, and gathered their grapes, and trod them, and made merry; and they brought [the grapes] into the house of their god, and ate and drank, and cursed Abimelech.
Un izgāja uz lauku un nolasīja savus vīna kalnus un spaidīja ogas un svinēja prieka svētkus, un gāja sava dieva namā un ēda un dzēra un lādēja Abimeleku.
28 And Gaal the son of Jobel said, Who is Abimelech, and who is the son of Sychem, that we should serve him? [Is he] not the son of Jerobaal, and [is] not Zebul his steward, his servant with the son of Emmor the father of Sychem? and why should we serve him?
Un Gaāls, Ebeda dēls, sacīja: kas ir Abimeleks, un kas ir Šehems, ka mums viņam būs kalpot? Vai tas nav JerubBaāla dēls un Zebuls viņa uzraugs? Kalpojiet labāki, Hamora, Šehema tēva, vīriem, jo kāpēc lai mēs viņam kalpojam?
29 And would that this people were under my hand! then would I remove Abimelech, and I would say to him, Multiply your host, and come out.
Ak kaut šie ļaudis būtu manā rokā, gan es Abimeleku izdzītu. Un uz Abimeleku viņš sacīja: vairo savu karaspēku un nāc ārā.
30 And Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Jobel, and he was very angry.
Kad Zebuls, tās pilsētas virsnieks, Gaāla, Ebeda dēla, vārdus dzirdēja, tad viņš apskaitās,
31 And he sent messengers to Abimelech secretly, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Jobel and his brethren are come to Sychem; and behold, they have besieged the city against you.
Un sūtīja slepeni vēstnešus pie Abimeleka un sacīja: redzi, Gaāls, Ebeda dēls, un viņa brāļi ir nākuši uz Šehemi, un redzi, tie ceļ dumpi pret tevi pilsētā.
32 And now rise up by night, you and the people with you, and lay wait in the field.
Un nu celies naktī, tu un tie ļaudis, kas pie tevis, un paslēpies laukā;
33 And it shall come to pass in the morning at sunrising, you shall rise up early and draw toward the city; and behold, he and the people with him will come forth against you, and you shall do to him according to your power.
Un rītā agri, kad saule lec, tad celies un uzbrūc tai pilsētai, un redzi, kad viņš un tie ļaudis, kas pie viņa, ies ārā tev pretī, tad dari viņam, kā tava roka māk.
34 And Abimelech and all the people with him rose up by night, and formed an ambuscade against Sychem in four companies.
Tad Abimeleks un visi ļaudis, kas pie viņa bija, cēlās naktī un paslēpās pret Šehemi četros pulkos.
35 And Gaal the son of Jobel went forth, and stood by the door of the gate of the city: and Abimelech and the people with him rose up from the ambuscade.
Un Gaāls, Ebeda dēls, izgāja ārā un stāvēja priekš pilsētas vārtiem. Tad Abimeleks un tie ļaudis, kas pie viņa bija, cēlās, kur bija apslēpušies.
36 And Gaal the son of Jobel saw the people, and said to Zebul, Behold, a people comes down from the top of the mountains: and Zebul said to him, You see the shadow of the mountains as men.
Kad nu Gaāls tos ļaudis ieraudzīja, tad viņš sacīja uz Zebulu: redzi, no kalnu galiem nāk ļaudis. Bet Zebuls uz to sacīja: tev šķiet kalna ēnu cilvēkus esam.
37 And Gaal continued to speak and said, Behold, a people comes down westward from the part bordering on the middle of the land, and another company comes by the way of Helon Maonenim.
Tad Gaāls vēl runāja un sacīja: redzi, ļaudis nāk no augšgala un viens pulks nāk pa ceļu no burvju ozola.
38 And Zebul said to him, And where is your mouth as you spoke, Who is Abimelech that we should serve him? [Is] not this the people whom you despised? go forth now, and set the battle in array against him.
Tad Zebuls uz viņu sacīja: kur nu ir tava mute, ar ko tu sacīji: kas ir Abimeleks, ka lai tam kalpojam? Vai šie nav tie ļaudis, ko tu esi apsmējis? Izej jel nu ārā un karo pret viņu.
39 And Gaal went forth before the men of Sychem, and set the battle in array against Abimelech.
Un Gaāls izgāja Šehemes namnieku priekšā un karoja pret Abimeleku.
40 And Abimelech pursued him, and he fled from before him; and many fell down slain as far as the door of the gate.
Un Abimeleks tam dzinās pakaļ, un tas bēga no viņa, un daudz krita nokauti līdz vārtiem.
41 And Abimelech entered into Arema, and Zebul cast out Gaal and his brethren, so that they should not dwell in Sychem.
Un Abimeleks palika Arumā, bet Zebuls izdzina Gaālu un viņa brāļus, ka tie Šehemē nepalika.
42 And it came to pass on the second day that the people went out into the field, and [one] brought word to Abimelech.
Un notika otrā dienā, ka tie ļaudis gāja uz lauku, un tas Abimelekam tapa sacīts.
43 And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and formed an ambush in the field; and he looked, and, behold, the people went forth out of the city, and he rose up against them, and struck them.
Tad viņš ņēma tos (kara) ļaudis un tos dalīja trijos pulkos un paslēpās laukā. Un viņš skatījās, un redzi, tie ļaudis izgāja no pilsētas; tad viņš cēlās pret tiem un tos nokāva.
44 And Abimelech and the chiefs of companies that were with him rushed forward, and stood by the door of the gate of the city; and the two [other] companies rushed forward upon all that were in the field, and struck them.
Un Abimeleks un tie pulki, kas pie viņa bija, uzbruka un nostājās priekš pilsētas vārtiem, bet tie divi pulki uzbruka visiem, kas bija laukā, un tos nokāva.
45 And Abimelech fought against the city all that day, and took the city, and killed the people that were in it, and destroyed the city, and sowed it with salt.
Un Abimeleks karoja pret to pilsētu visu to dienu un uzņēma to pilsētu un nokāva tos ļaudis, kas tanī bija, un nopostīja to pilsētu un apsēja to ar sāli.
46 And all the men of the tower of Sychem heard, and came to the gathering of Baethel-berith.
Kad nu visi Šehemes pils namnieki to dzirdēja, tad tie gāja tai stiprā Berita dieva nama tornī.
47 And it was reported to Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Sychem were gathered together.
Un Abimelekam tas tapa sacīts, ka visi Šehemes pils namnieki bija sapulcējušies.
48 And Abimelech went up to the mount of Selmon, and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a branch of a tree, and took it, and laid it on his shoulders; and said to the people that were with him, What you see me doing, do quickly as I.
Tad Abimeleks gāja uz Calmon kalnu, viņš un visi ļaudis, kas pie viņa bija, un Abimeleks ņēma cirvi savā rokā un nocirta koka zaru un to uzcēla un lika uz savu kamiesi un sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm, kas pie tā bija: ko esat redzējuši mani darām, to dariet steigšus tāpat.
49 And they cut down likewise even every man a branch, and went after Abimelech, and laid them against the place of gathering, and burnt the place of gathering over them with fire; and they died, even all the men of the tower of Sicima, about a thousand men and women.
Tad arī visi ļaudis nocirta ikkatrs zaru un gāja Abimelekam pakaļ, un tos pielika pie tā stiprā torņa un iededzināja pār tiem to torni ar uguni, ka visi Šehemes pils ļaudis nomira līdz tūkstoš vīru un sievu.
50 And Abimelech went out of Baethel-berith, and encamped against Thebes, and took it.
Un Abimeleks gāja uz Tebecu un apmetās pret Tebecu un to uzņēma.
51 And there was a strong tower in the midst of the city; and there all the men and the women of the city fled, and shut [the door] without them, and went up on the roof of the tower.
Bet pilsētas vidū bija stipra pils, uz turieni visi vīri un sievas un visi pilsētas namnieki bēga un ieslēdzās un uzkāpa uz pils jumtu.
52 And Abimelech drew near to the tower, and they besieged it; and Abimelech drew near to the door of the tower to burn it with fire.
Tad Abimeleks nāca pie tās pils un karoja pret to un piegāja pie pils durvīm, viņu ar uguni sadedzināt.
53 And a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon the head of Abimelech, and broke his skull.
Tad viena sieva nometa dzirnu akmens gabalu uz Abimeleka galvu un satrieca viņa galvas kausu.
54 And he cried out quickly to the young man his armor-bearer, and said to him, Draw your sword, and kill me, lest at any time they should say, A woman killed him: and his young man thrust him through and he died.
Tad viņš steigšus piesauca to puisi, savu bruņu nesēju, un uz to sacīja: izvelc savu zobenu un nokauj mani, lai no manis nesaka: viena sieva viņu nokāvusi. Un viņa puisis to nodūra, ka nomira.
55 And the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead; and they went each to his place.
Kad nu Israēla vīri redzēja, ka Abimeleks bija nomiris, tad tie gāja ikkatrs uz savām mājām.
56 So God requited the wickedness of Abimelech, which he wrought against his father, in slaying his seventy brethren.
Tā Dievs Abimelekam maksāja to ļaunumu, ko viņš bija darījis savam tēvam, nokaudams savus septiņdesmit brāļus.
57 And all the wickedness of the men of Sychem God requited upon their head; and the curse of Joatham the son of Jerobaal came upon them.
Un Dievs Šehemes vīriem atmaksāja visu ļaunumu uz viņu galvām, un Jotama, JerubBaāla dēla, lāsti nāca pār tiem.
