< 2 Samuel 2 >

1 After this David asked Yahweh and said, “Should I go up to one of the cities of Judah?” Yahweh replied to him, “Go up.” David said, “To which city should I go?” Yahweh replied, “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 with his two wives, Ahinoam from Jezreel, and Abigail from Carmel, the widow of Nabal.
Tad Dāvids cēlās uz turieni līdz ar savām divām sievām, Aķinoamu, to Jezreēlieti, un Abigaīli, Nābala, tā Karmelieša, sievu.
3 David brought the men who were with him, who each brought his family, to the cities of Hebron, where they began to live.
Un Dāvids arī saviem vīriem, kas pie viņa bija, ikkatram ar savu namu lika iet uz turieni; un tie dzīvoja Hebrones pilsētās.
4 Then men from Judah came and anointed David king over the house of Judah. They told David, “The men of Jabesh Gilead have buried Saul.”
Un tie Jūda vīri nāca un Dāvidu tur svaidīja Jūda namam par ķēniņu.
5 So David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead and said to them, “You are blessed by Yahweh, since you have showed this loyalty to your master 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 Yahweh show you covenantal loyalty and faithfulness. I also will show you this goodness 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 then, let your hands be strong; be courageous for Saul your master is dead, and 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 But Abner son of Ner, commander of Saul's army, took Ishbosheth son of Saul and brought him to Mahanaim.
Bet Abners, Nera dēls, Saula kara lielskungs, ņēma Išbošetu, Saula dēlu, un to pārveda uz Mahānaīm,
9 He made Ishbosheth king over Gilead, Asher, Jezreel, Ephraim, 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 Ishbosheth son of Saul, 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 The time that David was king 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 son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth 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 son of Zeruiah and the servants of David went out and met them by the pool of Gibeon. There they sat down, one group on one side of the pool and the other on the other side.
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 arise and compete before us.” Then 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 the young men got up and gathered together, twelve for Benjamin and Ishbosheth son of Saul, and twelve from servants of David.
Tad cēlās un nogāja pēc skaita divpadsmit par Benjaminu un Išbošetu, Saula dēlu, un divpadsmit no Dāvida kalpiem.
16 Each man seized his opponent by the head and thrust his sword into the side of his opponent, and they fell down together. Therefore that place was called “Helkath Hazzurim,” or “Field of Swords,” 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. Asahel was swift in his feet like 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 closely pursued Abner and followed him without turning away in any direction.
Un Azaēls dzinās Abneram pakaļ un neatstājās no Abnera ne pa labo ne pa kreiso roku.
20 Abner looked behind him and said, “Is that 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 or to your left, and seize one of the young men and take his armor.” But Asahel would not turn aside.
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 So Abner said again to Asahel, “Stop pursuing me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could 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 Asahel refused to turn aside, and so Abner stabbed him in the body with the blunt end of his spear, so that the spear came out the other side. Asahel fell down and died there. So it came about that anyone who arrived at the place where Asahel fell down and died, he stopped and stood still.
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 Abner. When the sun was going down, they came to the hill of Ammah, which is near Giah by the road to 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 men of Benjamin gathered themselves together behind Abner and stood on the top of the hill.
Un Benjamina bērni sapulcējās Abneram pakaļ vienā pulkā un stāvēja kāda kalna galā.
26 Then Abner called to Joab and said, “Must the sword devour forever? Do you not know it will be bitter in the end? How long will it be before you tell your men 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 replied, “Just as God lives, if you had not said that, my soldiers would have pursued 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 his men stopped and did not pursue Israel anymore, nor did they fight anymore.
Tad Joabs pūta ar bazūni, un visi ļaudis apstājās un nedzinās vairs Israēlim pakaļ un mitējās kauties.
29 Abner and his men traveled all that night through the Arabah. They crossed the Jordan, marched all the next morning, and then reached 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. He assembled all his men, from whom were missing Asahel and nineteen of David's soldiers.
Un Joabs griezās atpakaļ no Abnera un sapulcināja visus ļaudis. Tad no Dāvida kalpiem trūka deviņpadsmit vīri un Azaēls.
31 But the men of David had killed 360 men of Benjamin with Abner.
Bet Dāvida kalpi bija kāvuši no Benjamina un Abnera vīriem trīssimt un sešdesmit vīrus; tie bija nomiruši.
32 Then they took up Asahel and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. Joab and his men traveled all night, and the day dawned 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.
