< 2 Kings 10 >
1 There were seventy descendants of King Ahab who were living there in Samaria. Jehu wrote a letter [and made copies of it] and sent them to the rulers of the city, to the elders, and to those who raised and tutored Ahab’s children.
Un Ahabam bija septiņdesmit dēli Samarijā, un Jeūs rakstīja grāmatas un tās sūtīja uz Samariju pie Jezreēles virsniekiem, pie tiem vecajiem un Ahaba bērnu uzraugiem ar šiem vārdiem:
2 [This is what he wrote]: “You are the ones who are [taking care of] the king’s descendants. You have chariots and horses and weapons, and you live in cities that have walls around them. So as soon as you receive this letter,
Kad šī grāmata pie jums nonāk, un jūsu kunga dēli ir pie jums, un rati un zirgi, stipra pilsēta un bruņas,
3 choose one of the king’s sons, the one who is the best qualified, and appoint him to be your king. Then [prepare to] fight to defend him.”
Tad izredziet to labāko un taisnāko no sava kunga dēliem, un ieceļat to viņa tēva goda krēslā, un karojiet par sava kunga namu.
4 But [when they got those letters from Jehu and read them], they became very afraid. They said, “King Joram and King Ahaziah could not resist him; (how can we resist him?/we cannot possibly resist him!)” [RHQ]
Bet tie bijās varen ļoti un sacīja: redzi, divi ķēniņi viņa priekšā nav pastāvējuši, kā tad mēs pastāvēsim?
5 So the officer who was in charge of the palace and the mayor of the city sent a message to Jehu saying, “We want to serve you, and we are ready to do whatever you tell us to do. We will not appoint anyone to become our king. You do whatever you think is best.”
Un kas par to namu un pilsētu bija iecelts, un tie vecaji un uzraugi sūtīja pie Jeūs un sacīja: mēs esam tavi kalpi un darīsim visu, ko tu mums sacīsi, mēs nevienu necelsim par ķēniņu; dari tu, kas tev patīk.
6 So Jehu sent a second letter to them, writing this: “If you (are on my side/want to help me), and if you are ready to obey me, [kill] King Ahab’s descendants [and cut off their heads and] bring their heads to me here in Jezreel at this time tomorrow.” The seventy descendants of King Ahab were being brought up and supervised by the leaders of [Samaria] city.
Tad viņš tiem rakstīja citu grāmatu ar šiem vārdiem: ja jūs esat manā pusē un gribat klausīt manai balsij, tad ņemiet sava kunga dēlu galvas un nāciet pie manis rīt ap šo laiku uz Jezreēli. (Un to ķēniņa dēlu bija septiņdesmit vīri pie pilsētas lielkungiem, kas tos audzināja.)
7 When they received the letter from Jehu, they killed all seventy of Ahab’s descendants and [cut off their heads]. They put their heads in baskets and sent them to Jehu at Jezreel.
Kad nu šī grāmata pie tiem atnāca, tad tie ņēma tos ķēniņa dēlus un nokāva visus septiņdesmit un lika viņu galvas kurvjos un tās sūtīja uz Jezreēli.
8 A messenger came to Jehu and told him, “They have brought the heads of Ahab’s descendants.” So Jehu commanded that the heads should be put in two piles at the city gate and that the heads should stay there until the next morning.
Un kad tas vēstnesis atnāca un viņam to stāstīja sacīdams: tie ir atnesuši ķēniņa dēlu galvas, tad viņš sacīja: lieciet tās divējās kopās pie vārtu durvīm līdz rītam.
9 The next morning he went out [to the city gate] and said to all the people, “I am the one who plotted against King Joram and killed him. You are not guilty of doing that. But [it was Yahweh, not I] [RHQ] who [commanded that] all these [descendants of Ahab should be] killed.
Un no rīta, kad viņš izgāja, tad viņš tur nostājās un sacīja uz visiem ļaudīm: jūs esat taisni, redzi, es esmu cēlis dumpi pret savu kungu un viņu nokāvis; kas tad šos visus ir kāvis?
10 So you need to know that everything that Yahweh said would happen has happened. He has caused to happen what he told the prophet Elijah would happen.”
Tāpēc atzīstiet, ka no Tā Kunga vārda nekas nav kritis zemē, ko Tas Kungs runājis pret Ahaba namu; jo Tas Kungs ir darījis, ko Viņš runājis caur savu kalpu Eliju.
11 Then Jehu executed all the other relatives of Ahab in Jezreel, and all Ahab’s officers, and close friends, and his priests. He did not allow any of them to remain alive.
Tad Jeūs arī visus apkāva, kas no Ahaba nama bija atlikušies Jezreēlē, arī visus viņa augstniekus un viņa pazīstamos un viņa svētītājus, kamēr tam neviena vairs neatlika.
12 Then Jehu left [Jezreel] and went toward Samaria. While he was going there, at a place called ‘Shepherds’ Camp’,
Un viņš cēlās un gāja un nonāca Samarijā un bija ceļā vienā namā, kur gani dzīvoja.
13 he met some relatives of King Ahaziah of Judah. He asked them, “Who are you?” They replied, “We are relatives of King Ahaziah. We are going to Jezreel to visit the children of Queen Jezebel and the other members of King [Joram’s] family.”
Tad Jeūs atrada Ahazijas, Jūda ķēniņa, brāļus un uz tiem sacīja: kas jūs esat? Un tie sacīja: mēs esam Ahazijas brāļi un esam nākuši apmeklēt ķēniņa un ķēniņienes bērnus.
14 Jehu said to his men, “Seize them!” So they seized them and killed all of them at the pit named Beth-Eked. There were 42 people whom they killed; they did not allow any of them to remain alive.
Tad viņš sacīja: grābiet tos dzīvus. Un tie tos sagrāba dzīvus un tos apkāva pie ganu nama akas, četrdesmit un divus vīrus, un neatlicināja no tiem neviena.
15 Then Jehu [continued to travel toward Samaria]. Along the road, he was met by Jonadab, a leader of the Rechab clan. Jehu greeted him and said to him, “Are you as devoted to me [IDM] as I am devoted to you?” Jonadab replied, “Yes, I am.” Jehu said, “If you are, shake hands with me.” So Jonadab shook hands with him, and Jehu helped him to get into his chariot.
Un no turienes aizgājis viņš atrada Jonadabu, Rekaba dēlu, pretī nākam, un to apsveicināja un uz to sacīja: vai tava sirds taisna, kā mana sirds ar tavu sirdi? Un Jonadabs sacīja: ir gan. (Jeūs sacīja: ) Ja tā ir, tad dod man savu roku. Un viņš tam deva roku. Un viņš tam lika pie sevis kāpt ratos.
16 Jehu said to him, “Come with me, and you will see that I am very devoted to Yahweh.” So they rode together to Samaria.
Un viņš sacīja: nāc man līdz un skaties manu karstumu priekš Tā Kunga. Un viņš tam lika braukt savos ratos.
17 When they arrived in Samaria, Jehu killed all of Ahab’s relatives who were still alive. He did not (spare any of them/allow any of them to remain alive). That was what Yahweh told Elijah would happen.
Tad viņš nonāca Samarijā un apkāva visus, kas Ahabam bija atlikuši Samarijā, tiekams viņš tos izdeldēja, pēc Tā Kunga vārda, ko tas caur Eliju bija runājis.
18 Then Jehu summoned all the people [of Samaria], and said to them, “King Ahab was devoted to [your god] Baal a little bit, but I will serve him much more.
Un Jeūs sapulcināja visus ļaudis un uz tiem sacīja: Ahabs Baālam maz ir kalpojis, Jeūs viņam daudz vairāk kalpos.
19 So now summon all the prophets of Baal, all of Baal’s priests, and all the others who worship Baal. I am going to make a great sacrifice to Baal. I want all of them to be there. Any of them who is not there will be executed.” But Jehu was planning to trick them; he was planning to kill all those who worshiped Baal.
Tāpēc aicinājiet visus Baāla praviešus, visus viņa kalpus un visus viņa svētītājus pie manis, ka neviens neatraujās, jo man Baālam jaupurē liels upuris. Nevienam, kas atraujās, nebūs palikt dzīvam. Bet Jeūs to darīja ar viltību, ka viņš nomaitātu visus Baāla kalpus.
20 Then Jehu commanded, “Announce that we are going to set aside a day to honor Baal.” So they did that.
Un Jeūs sacīja: svētījiet Baālam svētkus, un tie tos izsauca.
21 Jehu [decided what day they would gather and] sent messages throughout Israel [telling everyone what day to gather on], and on that day, everyone who worshiped Baal came. No one stayed at home. They all went into the huge temple of Baal and filled it from one end to the other.
Tad Jeūs sūtīja arī pa visu Israēli, un visi Baāla kalpi atnāca, un neviens neatrāvās, kas nebūtu nācis, un tie nāca Baāla namā, ka Baāla nams līdz galu galam bija pilns.
22 Jehu told the priest who took care of the sacred robes to bring them out and give them to the people who worshiped Baal. So the priest did that.
Tad viņš sacīja uz tiem, kas bija iecelti pār to drēbju namu: atnesiet visiem Baāla kalpiem drēbes, un tie viņiem atnesa drēbes.
23 Then Jehu went into the temple of Baal with Jonadab, and he said to the people who were there to worship Baal, “Be sure that only those who worship Baal are here. Be sure that no one who worships Yahweh has come in.”
Tad Jeūs ar Jonadabu, Rekaba dēlu, gāja Baāla namā, un viņš sacīja uz Baāla kalpiem: meklējiet un pieraugāt, ka jūsu starpā nav neviena no Tā Kunga kalpiem, bet Baāla kalpi vien.
24 Then he and Jonadab prepared to offer sacrifices and other offerings to Baal that would be completely burned [on the altar that was there in Samaria]. But Jehu had stationed eighty of his men outside the temple, and had said to them, “I want you to kill all the people [who are in the temple]. Anyone who allows one of them to escape will be executed!”
Kad tie nu nāca upurēt kaujamos un dedzināmos upurus, tad Jeūs ārā nolika astoņdesmit vīrus un sacīja: ja kāds no tiem vīriem, ko es jums dodu rokā, izbēgs, tad jūsu dvēsele būs viņa dvēseles vietā.
25 As soon as Jehu [and Jonadab] had finished killing the animals that would be completely burned to be an offering to Baal, they [went outside and] said to the guards and officers, “Go in and kill all of them! Do not allow any of them to escape!” So the guards and officers went in and killed them all with their swords. Then they dragged their corpses outside the temple. Then they went into the inner room of the temple,
Kad nu dedzināmais upuris bija pabeigts, tad Jeūs sacīja uz pils karavīriem un uz virsniekiem: ejat un kaujiet tos, ka neviens neizbēg. Un tie tos apkāva ar zobena asmeni, un tie pils karavīri un virsnieki tos nometa pie malas un gāja Baāla nama pilī.
26 and they carried out the sacred pillar of Baal that was there, and they burned it.
Un tie iznesa Baāla nama uzceltos stabus un tos sadedzināja,
27 So they destroyed that pillar that honored Baal, and then they burned down the temple, and made it a public toilet. And it is still a toilet!
Un sadragāja Baāla uzcelto tēlu un salauzīja Baāla namu un to darīja par gānekļu vietu līdz šodienai.
28 That is how Jehu got rid of the worship of Baal in Israel.
Tā Jeūs Baālu izdeldēja no Israēla.
29 But Jehu did not quit committing the kinds of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the people of Israel to sin by worshiping the gold [statues of] calves in Bethel and Dan [cities].
Bet no Jerobeama, Nebata dēla, grēkiem, kas Israēli bija pavedis uz grēkiem, Jeūs neatstājās, proti no tiem zelta teļiem Bētelē un Danā.
30 Then Yahweh said to Jehu, “You have done what pleased me by getting rid of all of Ahab’s descendants. So I promise you that your son and grandson and great-grandson and great-great-grandson will all be kings of Israel.”
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Jeū: “Tāpēc ka tev labs prāts bijis darīt, kas Man patīk un Ahaba namam visu esi darījis, kas bija Manā sirdī, tad tavi dēli tev sēdēs Israēla krēslā līdz ceturtam augumam.”
31 But Jehu did not obey all the laws of Yahweh, the God of the Israeli people. He did not stop committing the sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the Israeli people to sin.
Bet Jeūs nedzinās staigāt Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, bauslībā ar visu savu sirdi; viņš neatstājās no Jerobeama grēkiem, kas Israēli bija pavedis uz grēkiem.
32 At that time, Yahweh began to cause the territory controlled by Israel to become smaller. [The army of] King Hazael [of Syria] conquered much of the Israeli territory.
Tanī laikā Tas Kungs Israēli iesāka mazināt, jo Azaēls tos kāva visās Israēla robežās,
33 He conquered the parts east of the Jordan [River], as far south as Aroer [town] on the Arnon [River]. That included [the] Gilead and Bashan [regions], where the tribes of Gad, Reuben, and half of the tribe of Manasseh lived.
No Jardānes puses pret rītiem visu Gileādas zemi, Gadiešus un Rūbeniešus un Manasiešus, no Aroēra pie Arnonas upes un Gileādu un Basanu.
34 [If you want to read more] about all the other things that Jehu did [RHQ], they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Un kas vēl par Jeū stāstāms, un viss, ko viņš darījis, un viss viņa spēks, tas ir rakstīts Israēla ķēniņu laiku grāmatā.
35 Jehu died [EUP], and was buried in Samaria. His son Jehoahaz became the king in place of his father.
Un Jeūs aizmiga saviem tēviem pakaļ un viņu apraka Samarijā, un viņa dēls Joakas palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
36 Jehu had ruled in Samaria as the king of Israel for twenty-eight years.
Un tas laiks, kamēr Jeūs pār Israēli valdījis Samarijā, ir divdesmit un astoņi gadi.
