Judges 20
1 All the Israelis, from Dan [city in the north] to Beersheba [city in the south], and even from [the] Gilead [region on the east side of the Jordan River, heard what had happened. So they] they gathered together at Mizpah, [at the place where they worshiped] Yahweh.
Tad visi Israēla bērni izgāja un tā draudze sapulcējās kā viens vienīgs vīrs, no Dana līdz Bēršebai, arī Gileādas zeme, pie Tā Kunga Micpā.
2 The leaders of [eleven of] the tribes of Israel stood in front of the people who gathered there. There were 400,000 men with swords who were there.
Un visu ļaužu virsnieki, visas Israēla ciltis, rādījās(sanāca kopā) Dieva ļaužu draudzē, četrsimt tūkstoš kājnieki, zobenu vilcēji.
3 The people of the tribe of Benjamin heard that the other Israelis had gone up to Mizpah, [but none of the men from their tribe went to the meeting there]. The Israelis who had come to Mizpah asked about the evil thing that had happened.
Un Benjamina bērni dzirdēja, ka Israēla bērni bija gājuši uz Micpu. Un Israēla bērni sacīja: sakāt, kā šis grēks noticis?
4 So the husband of the woman who had been killed replied, “My slave wife and I came to Gibeah [city], wanting to stay there that night.
Tad tas vīrs, tas Levits, tās nokautās sievas vīrs, atbildēja un sacīja: es ar savu sievu nācu uz Ģibeju, kas Benjaminam pieder, par nakti tur palikt.
5 That evening, the men of Gibeah came to attack me. They surrounded the house [where I was staying] and wanted to [have sex with me and then] kill me. They [raped and] abused my slave wife [all night], and she died.
Tad Ģibejas namnieki pret mani cēlās un naktī mani apstāja namā; tie nodomāja mani nokaut, un manu lieko sievu tie pārvarējuši, tā ka tā mirusi.
6 I took her body home and cut it into pieces. Then I sent one piece to each area of Israel, [because I wanted you all to know about] this wicked and disgraceful/shameful thing [that] has been done here in Israel.
Tad es ņēmu savu lieko sievu un to dalīju un to sūtīju visās Israēla zemes tiesās, jo tie nešķīstību un negantību ir darījuši iekš Israēla.
7 So now, all you Israeli people, speak, and tell me what you think should be done!”
Redzi, jūs visi esat Israēla bērni, sarunājaties un dodiet padomu.
8 All the people stood up, and in unison said, “None of us will go home! Not one of us will return to his house!
Tad visi ļaudis cēlās kā viens vienīgs vīrs un sacīja: mēs neiesim neviens uz savu dzīvokli un negriezīsimies neviens uz savu namu.
9 This is what we must do to [the people of] Gibeah. First, we will (cast lots/throw marked stones) [to determine which group should attack them].
Bet šī nu ir tā lieta, ko mēs darīsim pie Ģibejas: pret viņu kā mesli krīt!
10 We will choose (one tenth/one from every ten) of the men from all the Israeli tribes. Those men will go and find food for the men who will go to attack the people of Gibeah. Then the other men will go to Gibeah to (pay the people back/punish them) for this terrible thing that they have done [here] in Israel.”
Mēs ņemsim desmit vīrus no simta no visām Israēla ciltīm un simtu no tūkstošiem un tūkstoti no desmit tūkstošiem, ceļamaizi dabūt priekš tiem ļaudīm; tad iesim uz Benjamina Ģibeju, darīt (viņai) pēc visas negantības, ko tā iekš Israēla padarījusi.
11 And all the Israeli people agreed [that the people of Gibeah should be punished].
Tad visi Israēla vīri sapulcējās pret to pilsētu un sabiedrojās kā viens vienīgs vīrs.
12 Then the Israeli men sent messengers throughout the tribe of Benjamin. They demanded, “Do you realize that some of your men have done a very evil thing?
Un Israēla ciltis sūtīja vīrus pie visiem Benjamina radiem sacīdami: kas tas par grēku, kas jūsu starpā noticis?
13 Bring those wicked men to us, in order that we can execute them. [By doing that], we will be doing what should be done because of this evil thing that has happened in Israel.” But the [people of the] tribe of Benjamin did not pay attention to their fellow Israelis.
Tad nu izdodiet tos vīrus, tos bezdievīgos, kas Ģibejā, ka mēs tos nokaujam un to ļaunumu no Israēla nogriežam. Bet Benjamina (bērni) negribēja klausīt savu brāļu, Israēla bērnu, balsi.
14 The men of the tribe of Benjamin left their cities and gathered at Gibeah to fight the [other] Israelis.
Un Benjamina bērni sapulcējās no tām pilsētām uz Ģibeju, karā iziet pret Israēla bērniem.
15 In that one day the men of the tribe of Benjamin recruited 26,000 soldiers who knew how to fight using swords. They also chose/recruited 700 men from Gibeah.
Un Benjamina bērni tapa skaitīti tai dienā no tām pilsētām divdesmit seši tūkstoš vīri, zobenu vilcēji, bez tiem, kas Ģibejā dzīvoja, to bija pēc skaita septiņsimt izlasīti vīri.
16 From all those soldiers there were 700 men who were left-handed, and each of them could sling a stone at [a target that was very small and as narrow as] a hair, and the stone always hit the target!
Starp visiem šiem ļaudīm bija septiņsimt izlasīti vīri, tie bija kreiļi; šie visi meta akmeni ar lingu uz mata, ka tas garām neaizgāja.
17 There were 400,000 men from the other Israeli tribes who had swords.
Un Israēla vīri tapa skaitīti bez Benjamina četrsimt tūkstoš vīri, zobenu vilcēji; visi šie bija kara vīri.
18 Those other Israelis went up to Bethel and asked God, “Which tribe should be the first to attack the men from the tribe of Benjamin?” Yahweh answered, “[The men from the tribe of] Judah should go first.”
Un Israēla bērni cēlās un nogāja uz Bēteli, un vaicāja Dievu un sacīja: kuram no mums būs priekšā iet, karot pret Benjamina bērniem? Un Tas Kungs sacīja: Jūda lai iet priekšā.
19 The next morning, the Israeli men went and set up their tents near Gibeah.
Tad Israēla bērni cēlās no rīta un apmeta lēģeri pret Ģibeju.
20 Then they went to fight against [the men from the tribe of] Benjamin, and stood in their positions for fighting a battle, [facing Gibeah].
Un Israēla vīri izgāja karā pret Benjaminu, un taisījās pret Ģibeju karot.
21 The men of the tribe of Benjamin came out of Gibeah and fought against them, and they killed 22,000 Israeli men on that day.
Tad Benjamina bērni izgāja no Ģibejas, un viņi tai dienā no Israēla apkāva divdesmit un divus tūkstošus.
22 [Late that afternoon], the [remaining] Israeli men went to the place of worship and cried until the sun set. Then they asked Yahweh, “Should we attack the men of the tribe of Benjamin again, even though they are our fellow Israelis?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, attack them again.” So the Israeli men encouraged each other.
Bet tie ļaudis, Israēla vīri, stiprinājās un taisījās atkal karot tai vietā, kur tie pirmā dienā bija taisījušies.
Un Israēla bērni nogāja un raudāja priekš Tā Kunga līdz vakaram un vaicāja To Kungu un sacīja: vai man atkal būs iet karā pret Benjamina, sava brāļa, bērniem? Tad Tas Kungs sacīja: ejat pret tiem.
24 The next day they again stood in their positions for fighting, just like they had done on the previous day.
Tā Israēla bērni gāja pret Benjamina bērniem otrā dienā.
25 The men of the tribe of Benjamin came out of Gibeah and attacked the Israelis, and killed 18,000 more of their men.
Bet Benjamins tiem gāja pretī no Ģibejas otrā dienā un apkāva no Israēla bērniem vēl astoņpadsmit tūkstošus, kas visi bija zobenu vilcēji.
26 [In the afternoon], all the people of Israel [who had not been killed] again went to Bethel. There they sat down and cried to Yahweh, and they (fasted/abstained from eating food) until it was evening. They brought some offerings which they burned completely [on the altar], and they also brought some offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.
Tad visi Israēla bērni un visi ļaudis nogāja un nāca uz Bēteli un raudāja, un palika tur priekš Tā Kunga un gavēja tai dienā līdz vakaram, un upurēja dedzināmos upurus un pateicības upurus Tā Kunga priekšā.
27 At that time, the Sacred Chest that contained the stone tablets on which were written the Ten Commandments was there at Bethel. A priest named Phinehas, the son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron, often stood in front of that chest [and talked with Yahweh]. While he stood there on that day, he asked Yahweh, “Shall we go again to fight against our fellow Israelis from the tribe of Benjamin, or shall we stop fighting against them?” Yahweh answered, “Go again tomorrow, because tomorrow I will enable you to defeat them.”
Un Israēla bērni vaicāja To Kungu, (jo tur tanīs dienās bija Dieva derības šķirsts,
Un Pinehas, Ārona dēla, Eleazara, dēls stāvēja tanīs dienās priekš viņa) un sacīja: vai man vēl būs iet karā pret Benjamina, sava brāļa, bērniem, jeb vai man būs atstāties? Un Tas Kungs sacīja: ceļaties, jo rīt Es tos došu tavā rokā.
29 So [the next day, 10,000 of] the Israeli men (set up ambushes/went to hide) [in the fields] around Gibeah.
Tad Israēls lika kādiem apslēpties visapkārt pret Ģibeju.
30 The [other] Israeli men went and stood in their positions for fighting a battle just like they had done on the previous days.
Un Israēla bērni nogāja trešā dienā pret Benjamina bērniem un taisījās pret Ģibeju, kā citām reizēm.
31 When the men of the tribe of Benjamin came out of the city to fight against them, the Israeli men retreated away from the city, and the men of the tribe of Benjamin pursued them. The men of the tribe of Benjamin killed many Israelis, like they had done before. They killed about 30 Israelis. They killed some in the fields, and they killed some on the road that went to Bethel and on the road that went to Gibeah.
Tad Benjamina bērni tiem ļaudīm izgāja pretī un nogāja no tās pilsētas nost un sāka kaut un durt tos ļaudis tā kā jau divreiz' uz tiem ceļiem, kur viens tek uz Bēteli un otrs uz Ģibeju laukā, kādus trīsdesmit vīrus no Israēla.
32 The men of the tribe of Benjamin said, “We are defeating them like we did before!” But then Israeli men did what they had planned. The main group of Israeli men retreated a short distance from the city, to [trick] the men of Gibeah and cause them to pursue the Israeli men along the roads outside the city.
Tad Benjamina bērni sacīja: tie mūsu priekšā ir sakauti tā kā papriekš, bet Israēla bērni sacīja: bēgsim un nošķirsim tos no pilsētas uz tiem ceļiem.
33 The main group of Israeli men left their positions and retreated, and then they stood in their battle positions again at a place named Baal-Tamar.
Tad visi Israēla vīri cēlās no savas vietas un nostājās BaālTamārā, tā līdz arī tie Israēlieši, kas bija paslēpušies, cēlās no savas vietas, no Ģibejas klajuma.
34 Then [while the men of Gibeah were running out of the city toward them], the other 10,000 Israelis came out from the places where they had been hiding, west of Gibeah. They were men who had come from all parts of Israel. There was a very big battle. But the men of the tribe of Benjamin did not know that they were about to suffer a disastrous defeat.
Un desmit tūkstoš vīri, izlasīti no visa Israēla, nāca no Ģibejas puses, un kaušanās bija briesmīga. Bet tie nezināja, ka nelaime tiem jau bija tuvu.
35 Yahweh enabled the Israeli men to defeat the men of the tribe of Benjamin. They killed 25,000 of them, even though they all were using swords. [This is what happened]:
Tā Tas Kungs Benjaminu kāva Israēla priekšā, jo Israēla bērni tai dienā no Benjamina apkāva divdesmit piecus tūkstošus un simts vīrus, kas visi bija zobenu vilcēji.
36 The main group of Israeli men arranged with the men who would be hiding that they should send up a smoke signal to enable the main group of soldiers to know when they should attack. Then the main group of Israeli men retreated for a short distance, because they knew that the other Israeli men who had been hiding on the other side of Gibeah would attack the people of the tribe of Benjamin by surprise. So [after the main group of Israeli men retreated a little distance], the men who had been hiding rushed out and ran into Gibeah and used their swords to kill everyone in the city. [Then they started to burn the buildings].
Proti Benjamina bērni redzēja, ka viņi tapa kauti; un Israēla bērni Benjaminiešiem atstāja to vietu, jo viņi paļāvās uz tiem, kam bija likuši paslēpties pret Ģibeju.
Un tie, kas bija paslēpušies, steidzās un izskrēja pret Ģibeju; tie, kas bija paslēpušies nāca un apkāva visu pilsētu ar zobena asmeni.
Un Israēla vīriem bija noruna ar tiem, kas bija paslēpušies, ka tiem bija uzkurt lielus dūmus un tos laist gaisā no pilsētas.
39 By that time, the men of the tribe of Benjamin said, “We are winning the battle, as we did before!”
Un Israēla vīri kaujā griezās atpakaļ, un Benjamins bija iesācis nokaut no Israēliešiem kādus trīsdesmit vīrus, tā ka viņi sacīja: tie ir pavisam kauti mūsu priekšā tā kā pirmā kaušanā.
40 But then smoke [from the burning buildings] began to rise up from the city. The men of the tribe of Benjamin turned around and saw that the whole city was burning.
Tad dūmi no pilsētas sāka celties, kā dūmu stabs, un kad Benjamins skatījās atpakaļ, redzi, tad visa pilsēta liesmās cēlās pret debesi.
41 Then the main group of Israeli men [also saw the smoke, and they knew that the smoke signaled that they should] turn around and begin to attack. The men of the tribe of Benjamin were very afraid, because they realized that they were about to suffer a disastrous defeat.
Un Israēla vīri griezās atpakaļ, bet Benjamina vīri iztrūcinājās, jo tie redzēja, ka nelaime tiem bija uzkritusi.
42 So the men of the tribe of Benjamin tried to run away toward the desert to escape from the Israeli men, but they were not able to escape, because the Israeli men who had burned the two cities came out of those cities and killed many of them.
Un tie atgriezās Israēla vīru priekšā uz tuksneša ceļu, bet tā kaušanās tiem bija uz pēdām pakaļ, un tie no tām pilsētām tos apkāva savā vidū.
43 They surrounded [some of] the men of the tribe of Benjamin, and pursued the others to the area east of Gibeah.
Un tie apstāja Benjaminu, dzinās tam pakaļ līdz Menukai, un tos samina līdz Ģibejai pret saules uzlēkšanu.
44 They killed 18,000 strong soldiers of the tribe of Benjamin.
Un no Benjamina krita astoņpadsmit tūkstoš vīri, šie visi bija stipri vīri.
45 Then the rest of the men of the tribe of Benjamin realized that they had been defeated. They ran toward the desert to Rimmon Rock, but the Israeli men killed 5,000 more men of the tribe of Benjamin along the roads. They pursued the rest of them to Gidom, and they killed 2,000 more men of the tribe of Benjamin there.
Un viņi griezās un bēga uz tuksnesi, uz Rimona klinti; un tie viņiem pa tiem ceļiem pakaļ dzīdamies apkāva vēl piectūkstoš vīrus un tiem dzinās pakaļ līdz Ģidomam un no tiem nokāva vēl divtūkstoš vīrus.
46 Altogether, there were 25,000 men of the tribe of Benjamin who were killed, all of whom had swords.
Un visi, kas no Benjamina tai dienā krita, bija divdesmit un piectūkstoš vīri, kas bija zobenu vilcēji un visi stipri vīri.
47 But 600 men of the tribe of Benjamin ran to Rimmon Rock in the desert. They stayed there for four months.
Bet sešsimt vīri griezās un bēga tuksnesī uz Rimona klinti, un palika pie Rimona klints četrus mēnešus.
48 Then the Israeli men went back to the land belonging to the tribe of Benjamin, and killed the people in every city. They also killed all the animals, and destroyed everything else that they found there. And they burned all the cities that they came to.
Un Israēla bērni griezās atpakaļ pie Benjamina bērniem, un kāva tos ar zobena asmeni pilsētā, gan vīrus gan lopus un visu, kas tapa atrasts; tie arī visas pilsētas, ko atrada, sadedzināja ar uguni.
