Judges 9
1 And Abimelech son of Jerubba‘al goes to Shechem, to his mother’s brothers, and speaks to them, and to all the family 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 “Now speak in the ears of all the masters of Shechem, Which [is] good for you—seventy men ruling over you (all the sons of Jerubba‘al), or one man ruling over you? And you have remembered 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 brothers speak concerning him, in the ears of all the masters of Shechem, all these words, and their heart inclines 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 give seventy [pieces] of silver out of the house of Ba‘al-Berith to him, and Abimelech hires vain and unstable men with them, and they go 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 goes into the house of his father at Ophrah, and slays his brothers, sons of Jerubba‘al, seventy men, on one stone; and Jotham, youngest son of Jerubba‘al, is left, for he was hidden.
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 masters of Shechem are gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and come and cause Abimelech to reign for king at the oak of the camp which [is] in Shechem;
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 they declare [it] to Jotham, and he goes and stands on the top of Mount Gerizim, and lifts up his voice, and calls, and says to them, “Listen to me, O masters of Shechem, and God listens to 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 have diligently gone to anoint a king over them, and they say to the olive, Reign over us.
Koki gāja, ķēniņu pār sevi svaidīt, un sacīja uz eļļas koku: esi ķēniņš pār mums.
9 And the olive says to them, Have I ceased from my fatness, by which they honor gods and men, that I have gone to stagger 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 say to the fig, Come, reign over us.
Tad tie koki sacīja uz vīģes koku: nāc tu, esi ķēniņš pār mums.
11 And the fig says to them, Have I ceased from my sweetness, and my good increase, that I have gone to stagger 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 say to the vine, Come, reign over us.
Tad tie koki sacīja uz vīnakoku: nāc tu un esi ķēniņš pār mums.
13 And the vine says to them, Have I ceased from my new wine, which is making gods and men glad, that I have gone to stagger 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 And all the trees say to the bramble, Come, reign over us.
Tad visi koki sacīja uz ērkšķu krūmu: nāc tu un esi ķēniņš pār mums.
15 And the bramble says to the trees, If in truth you are anointing me for king over you, come, take refuge in my shadow; and if not—fire comes out from the bramble, and devours the cedars of Lebanon.
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 acted in truth and in sincerity when you make Abimelech king; and if you have done good with Jerubba‘al, and with his house; and if you have done to him according to the deed of his hands—
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 because my father has fought for you, and casts his life away from [him], and delivers you from the hand of Midian;
Jo mans tēvs jūsu dēļ karojis un savu dzīvību nometis un jūs izglābis no Midijaniešu rokas,
18 and you have risen against the house of my father today, and slay his sons, seventy men, on one stone, and cause Abimelech son of his handmaid to reign over the masters of Shechem, 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 indeed, if in truth and in sincerity you have acted with Jerubba‘al and with his house this day, rejoice in Abimelech, and he rejoices—even he—in 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 and if not—fire comes out from Abimelech and devours the masters of Shechem and the house of Millo, and fire comes out from the masters of Shechem and from the house of Millo, and devours 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 Jotham hurries, and flees, and goes to Beer, and dwells there, from the face of his brother Abimelech.
Tad Jotams bēga un aizbēga uz Beru un dzīvoja tur, no sava brāļa Abimeleka bīdamies.
22 And Abimelech is prince over Israel [for] three years,
Kad nu Abimeleks trīs gadus bija valdījis pār Israēli,
23 and God sends an evil spirit between Abimelech and the masters of Shechem, and the masters of Shechem deal treacherously with Abimelech,
Tad Dievs sūtīja ļaunu garu starp Abimeleku un Šehemes namniekiem, un Šehemes namnieki turējās viltīgi pret Abimeleku,
24 for [the] coming in of [the] violence [against] seventy sons of Jerubba‘al, and to place their blood on their brother Abimelech, who slew them, and on the masters of Shechem, who strengthened his hands to slay his brothers.
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 masters of Shechem set ambushes for him on the top of the hills, and rob everyone who passes over by them in the way, and it is declared to 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 Ebed comes—also his brothers—and they pass over into Shechem, and the masters of Shechem trust in him,
Un Gaāls, Ebeda dēls, nāca ar saviem brāļiem un gāja uz Šehemi, un Šehemes namnieki viņam uzticējās,
27 and go out into the field, and gather their vineyards, and tread, and make praises, and go into the house of their god, and eat and drink, and revile 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 son of Ebed says, “Who [is] Abimelech, and who [is] Shechem, that we serve him? Is [he] not son of Jerubba‘al? And his commander Zebul? The men of Hamor father of Shechem serve you, and why do we serve him—we?
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 oh that this people were in my hand—then I turn Abimelech aside”; and he says to Abimelech, “Increase 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, prince of the city, hears the words of Gaal son of Ebed, and his anger burns,
Kad Zebuls, tās pilsētas virsnieks, Gaāla, Ebeda dēla, vārdus dzirdēja, tad viņš apskaitās,
31 and he sends messengers to Abimelech deceitfully, saying, “Behold, Gaal son of Ebed and his brothers are coming into Shechem, and behold, they are fortifying 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 by night, you and the people who [are] 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 has been, in the morning, about the rising of the sun, you rise early, and have pushed against the city; and behold, he and the people who [are] with him are going out to you—and you have done to him as your hand finds.”
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 rises, and all the people who [are] with him, by night, and they lay wait against Shechem—four detachments;
Tad Abimeleks un visi ļaudis, kas pie viņa bija, cēlās naktī un paslēpās pret Šehemi četros pulkos.
35 and Gaal son of Ebed goes out, and stands at the opening of the gate of the city, and Abimelech rises—also the people who [are] with him—from the ambush,
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 sees the people and says to Zebul, “Behold, people are coming down from the top of the hills”; and Zebul says to him, “You are seeing the shadow of the hills like 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 adds yet to speak and says, “Behold, people are coming down from the high part of the land, and another detachment is coming by the way of the oak of Meonenim.”
Tad Gaāls vēl runāja un sacīja: redzi, ļaudis nāk no augšgala un viens pulks nāk pa ceļu no burvju ozola.
38 And Zebul says to him, “Where [is] your mouth now, in that you say, Who [is] Abimelech that we serve him? Is this not the people against which you have kicked? Please go out now and fight against it.”
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 goes out before the masters of Shechem, and fights against Abimelech,
Un Gaāls izgāja Šehemes namnieku priekšā un karoja pret Abimeleku.
40 and Abimelech pursues him, and he flees from his presence, and many fall wounded—to the opening of the gate.
Un Abimeleks tam dzinās pakaļ, un tas bēga no viņa, un daudz krita nokauti līdz vārtiem.
41 And Abimelech abides in Arumah, and Zebul casts out Gaal and his brothers from dwelling in Shechem.
Un Abimeleks palika Arumā, bet Zebuls izdzina Gaālu un viņa brāļus, ka tie Šehemē nepalika.
42 And it comes to pass, on the next day, that the people go out to the field, and they declare [it] to Abimelech,
Un notika otrā dienā, ka tie ļaudis gāja uz lauku, un tas Abimelekam tapa sacīts.
43 and he takes the people, and divides them into three detachments, and lays wait in a field, and looks, and behold, the people are coming out from the city, and he rises against them, and strikes 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 detachments who [are] with him have pushed on, and stand at the opening of the gate of the city, and the two detachments have pushed against all who are in the field, and strike 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 has fought against the city all that day, and captures the city, and has slain the people who [are] in it, and he breaks down the city, and sows 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 masters of the Tower of Shechem hear, and go into the high place of the house of the god Berith,
Kad nu visi Šehemes pils namnieki to dzirdēja, tad tie gāja tai stiprā Berita dieva nama tornī.
47 and it is declared to Abimelech that all the masters of the Tower of Shechem have gathered themselves together,
Un Abimelekam tas tapa sacīts, ka visi Šehemes pils namnieki bija sapulcējušies.
48 and Abimelech goes up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the people who [are] with him, and Abimelech takes the great axe in his hand, and cuts off a bough of the trees, and lifts it up, and sets [it] on his shoulder, and says to the people who [are] with him, “What you have seen me do—hurry, do as I [have done].”
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 every one of the people cuts down his bough and goes after Abimelech, and sets [them] at the high place, and burns the high place with fire by these, and also all the men of the Tower of Shechem die—about one 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 goes to Thebez, and encamps against Thebez, and captures it,
Un Abimeleks gāja uz Tebecu un apmetās pret Tebecu un to uzņēma.
51 and a strong tower has been in the midst of the city, and all the men and the women flee there, and all the masters of the city, and they shut [it] behind them, and go 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 comes to the tower, and fights against it, and draws near to the opening 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 certain woman casts a piece of a millstone on the head of Abimelech, and breaks his skull,
Tad viena sieva nometa dzirnu akmens gabalu uz Abimeleka galvu un satrieca viņa galvas kausu.
54 and he calls quickly to the young man carrying his weapons and says to him, “Draw your sword, and you have put me to death, lest they say of me—A woman slew him”; and his young man pierced him through, and he dies.
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 see that Abimelech [is] dead, and each one goes to his place;
Kad nu Israēla vīri redzēja, ka Abimeleks bija nomiris, tad tie gāja ikkatrs uz savām mājām.
56 and God turns back the evil of Abimelech which he did to his father to slay his seventy brothers;
Tā Dievs Abimelekam maksāja to ļaunumu, ko viņš bija darījis savam tēvam, nokaudams savus septiņdesmit brāļus.
57 and God has returned all the evil of the men of Shechem on their [own] head, and the cursing of Jotham son of Jerubba‘al comes to them.
Un Dievs Šehemes vīriem atmaksāja visu ļaunumu uz viņu galvām, un Jotama, JerubBaāla dēla, lāsti nāca pār tiem.
