< 1 Samuel 6 >

1 Now the ark of Yahweh was in the country of the Philistines for seven months.
Un Tā Kunga šķirsts sabija septiņus mēnešus Fīlistu zemē.
2 Then the Philistine people called for the priests and the diviners; they said to them, “What should we do with the ark of Yahweh? Tell us how we should send it back to its own country.”
Un Fīlisti sasauca priesterus un zīlniekus sacīdami: ko lai darām ar Tā Kunga šķirstu? Sakāt mums, kā lai to sūtam atpakaļ savā vietā.
3 The priests and diviners said, “If you send back the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it without a gift; by all means send him a guilt offering. Then you will be healed, and you will know why his hand has not been lifted off of you until now.”
Un tie sacīja: ja jūs Israēla Dieva šķirstu gribat sūtīt, tad nesūtat viņu tukšā, bet atmaksājiet Viņam noziegumu upuri; tad jūs tapsiet dziedināti, un jums taps zināms, kādēļ Viņa roka no jums nav atstājusies.
4 Then they said, “What should the guilt offering be that we are returning to him?” They replied, “Five golden tumors and five golden mice, five being the number that is the same as the number of the rulers of the Philistines. For the same plague afflicted you and your rulers.
Tad tie sacīja: kāds ir tas nozieguma upuris, ko mums Viņam būs maksāt? Un tie sacīja: pieci zelta augoņi un piecas zelta peles pēc piecu Fīlistu lielkungu skaita; jo vienāda mocība ir pār jums visiem un pār jūsu lielkungiem.
5 So you must make models of your tumors, and models of your mice that ravage the land, and give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps he will lift his hand from you, from your gods, and from your land.
Tad taisiet nu tādas zīmes tā kā jūsu augoņi ir, un tādu peļu zīmes, kas jūsu zemi samaitā, un dodiet Israēla Dievam godu, varbūt ka Viņš Savu roku atvieglinās pār jums un pār jūsu dievu un pār jūsu zemi.
6 Why should you harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? That was when the God of Israel dealt severely with them; did not the Egyptians send away the people, and they left?
Kāpēc tad jūs savu sirdi gribat apcietināt, kā ēģiptieši un Faraons savu sirdi apcietinājuši? Vai tas tā nav, kad Viņš brīnišķi tiem bija parādījies, tad tie atlaiduši (Israēla ļaudis), ka tie aizgāja?
7 Now then, prepare a new cart with two nursing cows that have never been yoked. Tie the cows to the cart, but take their calves home, away from them.
Nu tad ņemiet un taisiet jaunus ratus un ņemiet divas zīžamas govis, uz kurām vēl nekāds jūgs nav bijis, un iejūdziet tās govis ratos un vediet viņu teļus no tām atpakaļ uz mājām;
8 Then take the ark of Yahweh and place it in the cart. Put the golden figures that you are returning to him as a guilt offering into a box to one side of it. Then send it off and let it go its own way.
Tad ņemiet Tā Kunga šķirstu un uzlieciet to uz tiem ratiem, un tās zelta lietas, ko jūs Viņam par nozieguma upuri maksāsiet, nolieciet trauciņā viņam blakām un sūtat viņu projām, lai iet.
9 Then watch; if it goes up on the way to its own land to Beth Shemesh, then it is Yahweh who has executed this great disaster. But if not, then we will know that it is not his hand that afflicted us; instead, we will know that it happened to us by chance.”
Tad lūkojiet, ja tas uz savas robežas ceļu iet, uz Bet-Šemesu, tad Tas mums visu šo lielo ļaunumu darījis, bet ja ne, tad mēs nopratīsim, ka Viņa roka mūs nav aizskārusi, bet tas mums no nejauši noticis.
10 The men did as they were told; they took two nursing cows, tied them to the cart, and confined their calves at home.
Un tie ļaudis tā darīja un ņēma divas zīžamas govis un tās iejūdza ratos, un viņu teļus tie paturēja mājās.
11 They put the ark of Yahweh on the cart, together with a box containing the golden mice and the castings of their tumors.
Un tie uzlika Tā Kunga šķirstu uz ratiem līdz ar trauciņu ar tām zelta pelēm un ar tām augoņu zīmēm.
12 The cows went straight in the direction of Beth Shemesh. They went along one highway, lowing as they went, and they did not turn aside either to the right or to the left. The rulers of the Philistines followed after them to the border of Beth Shemesh.
Tad tās govis gāja taisni pa ceļu uz Bet-Šemesu, vienu pašu ceļu tās gāja tikuši(nepārtraukti) bļaudamas, un neatkāpās ne pa labo, ne pa kreiso roku, un Fīlistu lielkungi tām gāja pakaļ līdz Bet-Šemesas robežai.
13 Now the people of Beth Shemesh were harvesting their wheat in the valley. When they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, they rejoiced.
Un Bet-Šemesas ļaudis pļāva kviešus ielejā, un kad tie savas acis pacēla un to šķirstu redzēja, tad tie priecājās, to redzēdami.
14 The cart came into the field of Joshua from the town of Beth Shemesh and stopped there. A great stone was there, and they split the wood from the cart, and offered the cows as a burnt offering to Yahweh.
Un tie rati nāca uz Jozuas, tā Bet-Šemieša, tīrumu un tur apstājās. Un tur bija liels akmens, un tie skaldīja to ratu malku un upurēja tās govis Tam Kungam par dedzināmo upuri.
15 The Levites took down the ark of Yahweh and the box that was with it, where the golden figures were, and put them on the great stone. The men of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and made sacrifices the same day to Yahweh.
Un tie Leviti nocēla Tā Kunga šķirstu līdz ar to trauciņu, kas bija klāt, kur tās zelta lietas bija iekšā, un to uzlika uz to lielo akmeni, un Bet-Šemesas ļaudis upurēja tai dienā dedzināmos upurus un kāva Tam Kungam kaujamus upurus.
16 When the five rulers of the Philistines saw this, they returned that day to Ekron.
Un kad tie pieci Fīlistu lielkungi to bija redzējuši, tad tie tai pašā dienā griezās atpakaļ uz Ekronu.
17 These are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned for a guilt offering to Yahweh—one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, and one for Ekron.
Šie nu ir tie zelta augoņi, ko Fīlisti Tam Kungam deva par nozieguma upuri, vienu priekš Ašdodas, vienu priekš Gazas, vienu priekš Asklonas, vienu priekš Gatas, vienu priekš Ekronas.
18 The golden mice were the same in number as the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five rulers, both fortified cities and country villages. The great stone, beside which they set down the ark of Yahweh, remains a witness to this day in the field of Joshua the Bethshemite.
Un tās zelta peles bija pēc visu Fīlistu pilsētu skaita, kas apakš tiem pieciem lielkungiem, gan no stiprajām pilsētām, gan no laucinieku ciemiem. Un par liecinieku ir tas lielais akmens, kur tie Tā Kunga šķirstu bija nocēluši, kas līdz šai dienai ir uz Jozuas, tā Bet-Šemieša, tīruma.
19 Yahweh attacked some of the men of Beth Shemesh because they had looked into the ark of Yahweh. He killed 50,070 men. The people mourned, because Yahweh had given the people a great blow.
Un Tas Kungs sita Bet-Šemesas ļaudis, tāpēc ka tie Tā Kunga šķirstu bija aplūkojuši, un Viņš sita no tiem ļaudīm septiņdesmit vīrus (piecdesmit no tūkstoša). Tad tie ļaudis bēdājās, ka Tas Kungs ar tādu lielu sišanu tos ļaudis bija sitis.
20 The men of Beth Shemesh said, “Who is able to stand before Yahweh, this holy God? To whom will the ark go up from us?”
Un tie ļaudis no Bet-Šemesas sacīja: kas var pastāvēt priekš Tā Kunga, šī svēta Dieva, vaiga? Un pie kā lai Viņš no mums aiziet.
21 They sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath Jearim, saying, “The Philistines have brought back the ark of Yahweh; come down and take it back with you.”
Tad tie sūtīja vēstnešus pie Kiriat-Jearimas iedzīvotājiem sacīdami: Fīlisti Tā Kunga šķirstu atkal ir atveduši; nāciet un novediet to pie sevis.
