2 Samuel 18
1 And David inspects the people who [are] with him, and sets over them heads of thousands and heads of hundreds,
Un Dāvids pārlūkoja tos ļaudis, kas pie viņa bija, un iecēla tiem virsniekus pār tūkstošiem un virsniekus pār simtiem.
2 and David sends the third of the people by the hand of Joab, and the third by the hand of Abishai, son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, and the third by the hand of Ittai the Gittite, and the king says to the people, “I certainly go out—I also—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 the people say, “You do not go out, for if we utterly flee, they do not set [their] heart on us; and if half of us die, they do not set [their] heart to us—for [you are] now like ten thousand of us; and now, [it is] better that you are for a helper to us from 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 says to them, “That which is good in your eyes I do”; and the king stands at the side of the gate, and all the people have gone 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 charges Joab, and Abishai, and Ittai, saying, “[Deal] gently—for me, for the youth, for Absalom”; and all the people heard in the king’s charging all the heads concerning Absalom.
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 the people go out into the field to meet Israel, and the battle is in a forest of Ephraim;
Tā tie ļaudis izgāja uz lauku Israēlim pretī, un tā kaušanās notika Efraīma mežā.
7 and the people of Israel are struck there before the servants of David, and the striking there is great on that day—twenty thousand;
Un Israēla ļaudis tur tapa kauti no Dāvida kalpiem, un tai dienā notika liela kaušana, līdz divdesmit tūkstošiem.
8 and the battle there is scattered over the face of all the land, and the forest multiplies to devour among the people more than those whom the sword has devoured in that day.
Jo tā kauja izpletās tur pa visu to apgabalu, un mežs aprija vairāk ļaužu, nekā zobens aprija tai dienā.
9 And Absalom meets before the servants of David, and Absalom is riding on the mule, and the mule comes in under an entangled bough of the great oak, and his head takes hold on the oak, and he is placed between the heavens and the earth, and the mule that [is] under him has passed on.
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 one man sees, and declares [it] to Joab, and says, “Behold, I saw Absalom 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 says to the man who is declaring [it] to him, “And behold, you have seen—and why did you not strike him there to the earth—and [it would be] on me to give to you ten pieces of silver and one 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 says to Joab, “Indeed, though I am weighing on my hand one thousand pieces of silver, I do not put forth my hand to the son of the king; for in our ears the king has charged you, and Abishai, and Ittai, saying, Observe who [is] against the youth—against Absalom;
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 or I had done a vain thing against my soul, and no matter is hid from the king, and you would station yourself opposite from [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 says, “[It is] not right [that] I linger before you”; and he takes three darts in his hand, and strikes them into the heart of Absalom, while he [is] alive, in the midst 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 they go around—ten youths carrying weapons of Joab—and strike Absalom, and put him to death.
Tad desmit puiši, Joaba bruņunesēji, to apstāja un kāva Absalomu un to nokāva.
16 And Joab blows with a horn, and the people turn back from pursuing after Israel, for Joab has kept back the people;
Tad Joabs lika pūst trumetes, un tie ļaudis griezās atpakaļ un Israēlim vairs nedzinās pakaļ; jo Joabs taupīja tos ļaudis.
17 and they take Absalom and cast him into the great pit in the forest, and set up a very great heap of stones over him, and all Israel has fled—each 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 And Absalom has taken, and sets up for himself in his life, the standing-pillar that [is] in the king’s valley, for he said, “I have no son to cause my name to be remembered”; and he calls the standing-pillar by his own name, and it is called “The Monument of Absalom” to 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 Ahimaaz son of Zadok said, “Please let me run, and I bear the king tidings, for YHWH has delivered him out of 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 says to him, “You are not a man of tidings this day, but you have borne tidings on another day, and this day you do not bear 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 says to Cushi, “Go, declare to the king that which you have seen”; and Cushi bows himself to Joab, and runs.
Un Joabs sacīja uz Kuzu: ej tu un teici ķēniņam, ko tu esi redzējis. Tad Kuzus paklanījās Joaba priekšā un aizskrēja.
22 And Ahimaaz son of Zadok adds again and says to Joab, “And whatever it is, please let me run, I also, after the Cushite.” And Joab says, “Why [is] this—you are running, my son, and [there are] no tidings found from you?”
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 whatever happens,” he said, “let me run.” And he says to him, “Run”; and Ahimaaz runs the way of the circuit, and passes by the Cushite.
(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 is sitting between the two gates, and the watchman goes to the roof of the gate, to the wall, and lifts up his eyes, and looks, and behold, a man running by himself.
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 calls, and declares [it] to the king, and the king says, “If [he is] by himself, tidings [are] in his mouth”; and he comes, coming on and drawing 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 sees another man running, and the watchman calls to the gatekeeper, and says, “Behold, a man running by himself”; and the king says, “This one is also bearing 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 says, “I see the running of the first as the running of Ahimaaz son of Zadok.” And the king says, “This [is] a good man, and he comes with good 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 Ahimaaz calls and says to the king, “Peace”; and he bows himself to the king, on his face, to the earth, and says, “Blessed [is] your God YHWH who has shut up the men who lifted up their hand 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 says, “Peace to the youth—for Absalom?” And Ahimaaz says, “I saw the great multitude, at the sending away of the servant of the king, even your servant [by] Joab, and I have not known what [it is].”
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 says, “Turn around, station yourself here”; and he turns around and stands still.
Un ķēniņš sacīja: ej un nostājies te. Tad viņš gāja un nostājās.
31 And behold, the Cushite has come, and the Cushite says, “Let tidings be proclaimed, my lord, O king; for today YHWH has delivered you out of the hand of all those rising 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 says to the Cushite, “Peace to the youth—for Absalom?” And the Cushite says, “Let them be—as the youth—the enemies of my lord the king, and all who have risen up against you for evil.”
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 trembles, and goes up on the upper chamber of the gate, and weeps, and thus he has said in his going, “My son Absalom! My son! My son Absalom! Oh that I had died for you, Absalom, 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!
