2 Chronicles 32
1 After King Hezekiah had obeyed Yahweh’s instructions and had done all those things, King Sennacherib of Assyria came [with his army] and invaded Judah. He commanded his soldiers to surround the cities that had walls around them, thinking that they would [break through those walls and] conquer those cities.
Pēc šīm lietām un šī ticības darba Sanheribs, Asīrijas ķēniņš, nāca un cēlās pret Jūdu un apmetās pret tām stiprām pilsētām un domāja tās raut pie sevis.
2 When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come [with his army] and that they intended to attack Jerusalem,
Kad nu Hizkija redzēja, ka Sanheribs atnāca un bija apņēmies pret Jeruzālemi karot,
3 he consulted with his officials and army leaders. They said among themselves, “Why should we allow the king of Assyria [and his army] to come and find plenty of water to drink?” So they decided to stop the water from flowing outside the city. So a large group of men gathered together and blocked all the springs and the stream that flowed through that area.
Tad viņš sprieda ar saviem lielkungiem un varoņiem, aiztaisīt avotu ūdeņus ārpus pilsētas, un tie tam palīdzēja.
Un daudz ļaužu sapulcējās, kas visus avotus aiztaisīja, arī to upi, kas vidū caur zemi tecēja, jo tie sacīja: kāpēc lai Asiriešu ķēniņi nākdami atrod daudz ūdens?
5 Then they worked hard to repair all the sections of the city wall that had been broken, and they built watchtowers on the walls. They built another wall outside/around the wall that was already outside the city, and they strengthened the defenses on the sloping terraces [on the east side of the area called ‘The City of David’]. They also made a large number of weapons and shields.
Un viņš ņēmās drošu prātu un uztaisīja visu mūri, kur tas bija plīsis, un to uzvilka līdz torņiem, un ārā viņš taisīja vēl citu mūri un nostiprināja Millu Dāvida pilsētā, un taisīja daudz ieročus un bruņas.
6 Hezekiah appointed army commanders, and he gathered them in front of him in the square at one of the city gates, and he encouraged them by saying this to them:
Un viņš iecēla kara virsniekus pār tiem ļaudīm un tos sapulcināja pie sevis laukā pie pilsētas vārtiem un tiem piekodināja un sacīja:
7 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged on account of the king of Assyria and the huge army that is with him, because [Yahweh] is with us, and his [power] is greater than their [power].
Esiet stipri un ņematies drošu prātu, nebīstaties un neizbaiļojaties priekš Asiriešu ķēniņa, nedz priekš visiem tiem pulkiem, kas pie viņa, jo pie mums ir vairāk, nekā pie viņa.
8 They have to rely on the power of humans, but we have Yahweh our God to help us and to fight battles for us.” So the people became more confident because of what Hezekiah, the king of Judah, said.
Ar viņu ir miesas elkonis, bet ar mums ir Tas Kungs, mūsu Dievs, mums palīdzēt un vest mūsu karus. Un tie ļaudis paļāvās uz Hizkijas, Jūda ķēniņa, vārdiem.
9 Later, when Sennacherib and all his soldiers were surrounding Lachish [city], he sent some officers to Jerusalem to give this message to King Hezekiah and to all the people of Judah who were there:
Pēc tam Sanheribs, Asīrijas ķēniņš, sūtīja savus kalpus uz Jeruzālemi (bet viņš pats bija pie Laķisa un pie viņa bija viss viņa valsts spēks) pie Hizkijas, Jūda ķēniņa, un pie visas Jūdu cilts, kas bija Jeruzālemē, un lika sacīt:
10 “[I am] Sennacherib, the [great] king of Assyria, [and] this is what I say: 'While you are staying in Jerusalem, my soldiers are surrounding the city. So why [RHQ] are you so confident?
Tā saka Sanheribs, Asīrijas ķēniņš: uz ko jūs paļaujaties, palikdami ieslēgti Jeruzālemē?
11 Hezekiah says to you, “Yahweh our God will save us from [being defeated by the army of] the king of Assyria,” but he is misleading you. He wants you to die from having no food or water.
Vai Hizkija jūs nepiekrāpj un jūs nenodod nāvei caur badu un slāpēm, sacīdams: Tas Kungs, mūsu Dievs, mūs atpestīs no Asiriešu ķēniņa rokas?
12 Isn’t Hezekiah the one who told his men to get rid of your god Yahweh’s shrines and altars on the hilltops, saying to [you people of] Jerusalem and other places in Judah, “You must worship at only one altar and burn sacrifices on only that altar”?
Vai šis nav tas Hizkija, kas viņa kalnus un altārus nopostījis un uz Jūdu un Jeruzālemi runājis un sacījis: viena altāra priekšā jums būs pielūgt un uz tā kvēpināt?
13 'Do you people not know what I and my ancestors have done to all the people-groups in other countries? [We destroyed them all, and] none of the gods of those nations were ever able to prevent my [troops] from conquering them! So how can your god prevent my soldiers from conquering you?
Vai nezināt, ko es un mani tēvi esam darījuši visām pasaules tautām? Vai pasaules tautu dievi varēja izglābt savas zemes no manas rokas?
Kurš ir no visiem šo tautu dieviem, ko mani tēvi izdeldējuši, kas savus ļaudis varējis izglābt no manas rokas, ka jūsu Dievs jūs izglābtu no manas rokas?
15 So do not allow Hezekiah to deceive you like this. Do not believe what he says, because no god of any nation or kingdom has ever been able to rescue his people from being conquered by my army and the armies of my ancestors. So certainly your god will not be able to rescue you from my power'.”
Nu tad, lai Hizkija jūs nepieviļ, un neliekaties tā pārrunāties un neticat viņam. Jo ja nevienas citas tautas un valsts dievs nav varējis izglābt savus ļaudis no manas rokas un no manu tēvu rokas, tad jūsu Dievs ne tik jūs neizglābs no manas rokas.
16 Sennacherib’s officers said more things to belittle Yahweh the God of the Israelis and Hezekiah, who served God [well].
Un viņa kalpi runāja vēl vairāk pret Dievu, To Kungu, un pret Hizkiju, viņa kalpu.
17 King Sennacherib wrote more letters insulting Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [belonged to/worshiped]. He said things like this: “The gods [worshiped by] the people-groups in other countries did not rescue their people from my power. Similarly, the god of Hezekiah will not rescue his people from my power.”
Viņš rakstīja arī grāmatas, To Kungu, Israēla Dievu, zaimodams un pret viņu tā runādams un sacīdams: tā kā pasaules tautu dievi nav izglābuši savus ļaudis no manas rokas, tāpat arī Hizkijas Dievs Savus ļaudis neizglābs no manas rokas.
18 Then King Sennachereb’s officers shouted in the Hebrew language to the people who were on the wall, in order to cause them to be terrified, thinking that as a result the army of Assyria could capture the city [without a battle].
Un tie sauca ar stipru balsi Jūdiski pret Jeruzālemes ļaudīm, kas uz mūra bija, tos izbiedēt un iztrūcināt, ka pilsētu varētu ieņemt.
19 They belittled the God [worshiped by the people] of Jerusalem as they belittled the gods of the other people-groups of the world—saying that they were only [idols] made by humans.
Un tie runāja pret Jeruzālemes Dievu tāpat, kā pret pasaules tautu dieviem, kas ir cilvēku roku darbs.
20 Then King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah cried out to God, praying about this.
Bet ķēniņš Hizkija un pravietis Ezaīja, Amoca dēls, lūdza par to un sauca uz debesīm.
21 And [that night] Yahweh sent an angel who killed all the soldiers of Assyria and their leaders and their officers in the place where the king of Assyria and his army had set up their tents. So the king of Assyria left and returned to his own country, very disgraced. And one day when he went into the temple of his god, some of his sons struck him with their swords and killed him.
Un Tas Kungs sūtīja eņģeli, kas nomaitāja visus varenos karavīrus un lielkungus un virsniekus Asīrijas ķēniņa lēģerī, ka tas ar kaunu atkal griezās atpakaļ uz savu zemi. Un kad viņš sava dieva namā gāja, tad tie, kas no viņa miesām bija cēlušies, viņu nokāva ar zobenu.
22 That is how Yahweh rescued Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from the power of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, and from their other enemies. Yahweh took care of them (OR, gave them peace) everywhere in the country.
Tā Tas Kungs atpestīja Hizkiju un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājus no Sanheriba, Asiriešu ķēniņa, rokas un no visu citu rokas un tos pasargāja visapkārt.
23 Many people brought offerings for Yahweh to Jerusalem, and also brought valuable gifts for King Hezekiah. And from that time, Hezekiah was highly respected/honored by the people of all the other nations.
Un daudzi nesa dāvanas Tam Kungam uz Jeruzālemi un dārgas lietas Hizkijam, Jūda ķēniņam, tā ka viņš pēc tam bija paaugstināts visu tautu priekšā.
24 About that time, Hezekiah became very ill. He was about to die. But he prayed to Yahweh, and Yahweh answered his prayer. He performed a miracle [and healed Hezekiah].
Tanī laikā Hizkija palika slims uz miršanu un tas lūdza To Kungu, un Viņš uz to runāja un tam deva vienu brīnuma zīmi.
25 But Hezekiah [SYN] was very proud, and he did not thank Yahweh for being kind to him. Therefore Yahweh was angry with him and [and punished him] and [the people of] Jerusalem and other places in Judah.
Bet Hizkija neatmaksāja tā, kā viņam bija labi darīts, jo viņa sirds sāka lepoties, tāpēc nāca liela dusmība pār viņu un pār Jūdu un Jeruzālemi.
26 Then Hezekiah said that he was sorry for being proud, and the people of Jerusalem also said that they were sorry [for their sins]. So Yahweh did not punish them during the remaining years that Hezekiah [was their king].
Tad Hizkija pazemojās savas sirds lepnības dēļ ar Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājiem, tāpēc Tā Kunga bardzība pār viņiem nenāca, kamēr, Hizkija dzīvoja.
27 Hezekiah became very rich and was greatly honored. His [workers] made storerooms for his silver and gold, and for his very valuable stones, and for spices and shields and other valuable things.
Un Hizkijam bija ļoti daudz bagātības un goda un viņš sev taisīja mantu kambarus sudrabam un zeltam un dārgiem akmeņiem un dārgām zālēm un priekšturamām bruņām un visādiem dārgiem rīkiem,
28 [His workers] also built buildings to store the grain and wine and [olive] oil [that people produced and brought to him]. They also made stalls for various kinds of cattle and pens for his flocks [of sheep and goats].
Un klētis lauku augļiem, labībai, vīnam un eļļai un kūtis visādiem lopiem un laidarus ganāmiem pulkiem.
29 They built towns and acquired for the king many flocks [of sheep and goats] and herds [of cattle], because God had enabled him to become very rich.
Viņš sev arī uztaisīja pilsētas, un tam bija avis un vērši lielā pulkā; jo Dievs tam deva ļoti lielu mantu.
30 Hezekiah was the one who told his workers to block the place where the water flows out of the Gihon Spring, and to build a tunnel through which the water flowed to the west side of the area called ‘The City of David’. He was able to do everything that he wanted to do.
Un šis Hizkija aiztaisīja Ģiona ūdens augšizteku un to vadīja uz leju pret vakara pusi uz Dāvida pilsētu, un Hizkijam viss viņa darbs laimējās.
31 But when messengers who were sent by the rulers of Babylon came and asked about the miracle that God had performed for him, God allowed Hezekiah to say what he himself wanted to say, in order to test [whether or not Hezekiah would admit that God had performed a miracle].
Bet kad Bābeles lielkungi, kas pie viņa bija sūtīti, nāca vaicāt pēc tās brīnuma zīmes, kas tai zemē bija notikusi, tad Dievs viņu tā atstāja, ka to kārdināja, lai taptu zināms, kas būtu viņa sirdī.
32 A record of the other things that happened while Hezekiah was ruling, and the things that he did to please God, is on the scroll in which is written the vision that [Yahweh gave to] the prophet Isaiah. It is also written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel’.
Un kas vēl stāstāms par Hizkiju un viņa dievbijību, redzi, tas rakstīts pravieša Jesajas, Amoca dēla, parādīšanā un Jūda un Israēla ķēniņu grāmatā.
33 When Hezekiah died, he was buried in the tombs where the most respected kings [of Judah] were buried. Everyone in Jerusalem and other places in Judah honored him. Then his son Manasseh became the king.
Un Hizkija aizmiga pie saviem tēviem, un to apraka Dāvida bērnu augstākā kapu vietā, un visa Jūda valsts un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotāji tam parādīja godu, kad tas bija nomiris, un viņa dēls Manasus palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
