< 2 Samuel 2 >

1 It happened after this, that David inquired of Jehovah, saying, "Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?" Jehovah said to him, "Go up." David said, "Where shall I go up?" He said, "To Hebron."
Pēc tam Dāvids To Kungu vaicāja un sacīja: vai man būs iet uz vienu no Jūda pilsētām? Un Tas Kungs uz to sacīja: ej. Tad Dāvids sacīja: uz kurieni man būs iet? Un Viņš sacīja: uz Hebroni.
2 So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite,
Tad Dāvids cēlās uz turieni līdz ar savām divām sievām, Aķinoamu, to Jezreēlieti, un Abigaīli, Nābala, tā Karmelieša, sievu.
3 and the men who were with him, everyone with his household. And they lived in Hebron.
Un Dāvids arī saviem vīriem, kas pie viņa bija, ikkatram ar savu namu lika iet uz turieni; un tie dzīvoja Hebrones pilsētās.
4 Then the men of Judah came, and they anointed David king over the house of Judah. When David was told that the men of Jabesh Gilead buried Saul,
Un tie Jūda vīri nāca un Dāvidu tur svaidīja Jūda namam par ķēniņu.
5 then he sent messengers to the lords of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, "May you be blessed by Jehovah, since you showed loyalty towards your lord, Saul, and have buried him.
Un Dāvidam stāstīja un sacīja: Jabesas vīri Gileādā Saulu ir aprakuši. Tad Dāvids sūtīja vēstnešus pie tiem Jabesas vīriem Gileādā un tiem lika sacīt: svētīti jūs esat Tam Kungam, ka jūs šo mīlestību esat parādījuši savam kungam Saulam un viņu esat aprakuši.
6 Now may Jehovah show loving kindness and truth to you. I also will reward you for this kindness, because you have done this thing.
Tad lai nu Dievs jums atkal parāda mīlestību un uzticību, un es arīdzan jums gribu labu darīt par to, ka jūs tā esat darījuši.
7 Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah has anointed me king over them."
Un nu stiprinājiet savas rokas un esiet droši; jo, kad jūsu kungs Sauls nu ir miris, tad Jūda nams mani svaidījis sev par ķēniņu.
8 Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's army, had taken Ishbaal the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
Bet Abners, Nera dēls, Saula kara lielskungs, ņēma Išbošetu, Saula dēlu, un to pārveda uz Mahānaīm,
9 and he made him king over Gilead, and over the Geshurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
Un to iecēla par ķēniņu pār Gileādu un pār tiem Asuriešiem un pār Jezreēli un pār Efraīmu un pār Benjaminu un pār visu Israēli.
10 Ishbaal, Saul's son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
Četrdesmit gadus Išbošets, Saula dēls, bija vecs, kad viņš palika Israēlim par ķēniņu, un viņš valdīja divus gadus; bet tie no Jūda nama turējās pie Dāvida.
11 And the time that David ruled in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
Un viss tas laiks, kamēr Dāvids Hebronē bijis ķēniņš pār Jūda namu, ir septiņi gadi un seši mēneši.
12 Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbaal the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
Un Abners, Nera dēls, izgāja ar Išbošeta, Saula dēla, kalpiem no Mahānaīm uz Gibeonu.
13 Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
Un Joabs, Cerujas dēls, izgāja arīdzan ar Dāvida kalpiem, un tie sastapās pie Gibeonas dīķa, un palika viens šaipus dīķa un otrs viņpus dīķa.
14 Abner said to Joab, "Let the young men now arise and compete before us." Joab said, "Let them arise."
Un Abners sacīja uz Joabu: lai jel tie puiši ceļas un cīkstas mūsu priekšā. Tad Joabs sacīja: lai ceļas.
15 Then they arose and went over by number: twelve of the sons of Benjamin of Ishbaal the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
Tad cēlās un nogāja pēc skaita divpadsmit par Benjaminu un Išbošetu, Saula dēlu, un divpadsmit no Dāvida kalpiem.
16 They each caught his opponent by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place was called Field of Blades, which is in Gibeon.
Un tie sagrāba viens otru pie galvas un iedūra savu zobenu otram sānos, un tie krita visi reizē, un šī vieta tapa nosaukta Elkat-Acurim (asmeņu tīrums), kas ir pie Gibeonas.
17 The battle was very severe that day, and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated before the servants of David.
Un tai dienā cēlās grūta kaušanās, un Abners un Israēla vīri tapa sakauti no Dāvida kalpiem.
18 The three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel. And Asahel was as quick on his feet as a wild gazelle.
Un tur bija trīs Cerujas dēli, Joabs un Abizajus un Azaēls. Un Azaēls bija viegls uz kājām, kā stirna laukā.
19 Asahel pursued after Abner, and as he went he did not turn to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
Un Azaēls dzinās Abneram pakaļ un neatstājās no Abnera ne pa labo ne pa kreiso roku.
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, "Is it you, Asahel?" He answered, "It is I."
Un Abners skatījās atpakaļ un sacīja: vai tu neesi Azaēls? Un viņš sacīja: es tas esmu.
21 Abner said to him, "Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and grab one of the young men, and take his armor." But Asahel would not stop from pursuing him.
Tad Abners uz to sacīja: atkāpies vai pa labo, vai pa kreiso roku, un satver vienu no tiem puišiem un paņem viņa ieročus. Bet Azaēls no viņa negribēja atstāties.
22 Abner said again to Asahel, "Stop pursuing me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then should I hold up my face to Joab your brother?"
Tad Abners runāja vēl uz Azaēli un sacīja: atstājies no manis, - kāpēc man tevi būs kaut zemē? Kā tad es varēšu savu vaigu pacelt tava brāļa Joaba priekšā?
23 But he refused to stop. Therefore Abner with the back end of the spear struck him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place. And it came about that all who came to the place where Asahel had fallen and died, stopped there.
Bet viņš negribēja atstāties. Tad Abners viņam ar šķēpa otru galu iedūra vēderā, ka šķēps pakaļā iznāca ārā, un Azaēls turpat krita un nomira. Un visi, kas uz to vietu nāca, kur Azaēls bija kritis un nomiris, tie tur apstājās.
24 But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they had come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
Bet Joabs un Abizajus dzinās Abneram pakaļ, un saule jau nogāja, kad tie nāca pie Amas pakalna, kas šaipus Ģias uz Gibeonas tuksneša ceļa.
25 The sons of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and formed a single group, and stood on the top of a hill.
Un Benjamina bērni sapulcējās Abneram pakaļ vienā pulkā un stāvēja kāda kalna galā.
26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, "Shall the sword devour forever? Do you not know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? How long shall it be then, before you ask the people to stop pursuing their brothers?"
Tad Abners sauca uz Joabu un sacīja: vai tad zobens lai rij mūžam? Vai tu nezini, ka beidzot ceļas rūgtums? Un cik ilgi tu tiem ļaudīm nesacīsi, lai saviem brāļiem vairs nedzenās pakaļ.
27 Joab said, "As Jehovah lives, if you had not spoken, surely the people would not have given up the pursuit of their brothers until the morning."
Tad Joabs sacīja: tik tiešām kā Dievs dzīvo, kad tu nebūtu runājis, tie ļaudis jau no paša rīta būtu novērsti, ikviens no sava brāļa nost.
28 So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stopped, and no longer chased after Israel, and they no longer fought.
Tad Joabs pūta ar bazūni, un visi ļaudis apstājās un nedzinās vairs Israēlim pakaļ un mitējās kauties.
29 Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over the Jordan, and marched the whole morning, and came to Mahanaim.
Un Abners un viņa vīri gāja cauru nakti pa to klajumu un cēlās pār Jardāni un gāja caur visu Bitronu un nāca uz Mahānaīm.
30 Joab returned from pursuing Abner. And when he had gathered all the people together, there were missing from David's servants nineteen men and Asahel.
Un Joabs griezās atpakaļ no Abnera un sapulcināja visus ļaudis. Tad no Dāvida kalpiem trūka deviņpadsmit vīri un Azaēls.
31 But the servants of David had struck of the people of Benjamin, from the men of Abner, three hundred and sixty men who died.
Bet Dāvida kalpi bija kāvuši no Benjamina un Abnera vīriem trīssimt un sešdesmit vīrus; tie bija nomiruši.
32 They took up Asahel, and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. Joab and his men went all night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.
Un tie pacēla Azaēli un to apraka viņa tēva kapā Bētlemē. Un Joabs gāja ar saviem vīriem cauru nakti, ka gaisma tiem ausa Hebronē.
