Pirmā Ķēniņu 12
1 Un Rekabeams nogāja uz Šehemi, jo viss Israēls bija nācis uz Šehemi, viņu celt par ķēniņu.
Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel was coming to Shechem to make him king.
2 Un Jerobeams, Nebata dēls, (to) dzirdēja vēl būdams Ēģiptes zemē, (jo viņš no ķēniņa Salamana bija bēdzis un dzīvoja Ēģiptes zemē).
It happened that Jeroboam son of Nebat heard of this (for he was still in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon), for Jeroboam had settled down in Egypt.
3 Tad tie nosūtīja un viņu aicināja. Un Jerobeams un visa Israēla draudze nāca un runāja ar Rekabeamu un sacīja:
So they sent and called him, and Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came and said to Rehoboam,
4 Tavs tēvs mums ir uzspiedis visai grūtu jūgu; atvieglini nu to grūto kalpošanu un to smago jūgu, ko tavs tēvs mums uzlicis, tad mēs tev gribam kalpot.
“Your father made our yoke heavy. Now make lighter the hard work of your father and make lighter the heavy yoke that he put on us, and we will serve you.”
5 Bet viņš uz tiem sacīja: noejat līdz parītam, tad atnākat atkal pie manis. Un tie ļaudis aizgāja.
Rehoboam said to them, “Go away for three days, then come back to me.” So the people went away.
6 Un ķēniņš Rekabeams prasīja padomu no tiem vecajiem, kas viņa tēva Salamana priekšā bija stāvējuši, kad tas vēl dzīvoja, un viņš sacīja: Kādu padomu jūs dodat, kā šiem ļaudīm būs atbildēt?
King Rehoboam consulted with the old men who had stood before Solomon his father while he was alive, and he said, “How do you advise me to answer this people?”
7 Un tie uz viņu runāja un sacīja: ja tu šodien šiem ļaudīm iztiksi un tiem darīsi pa prātam un tos paklausīsi un labus vārdus uz tiem runāsi, tad tie tev būs par kalpiem visu mūžu.
They spoke to him and said, “If you will be a servant today to these people and serve them, and answer them by saying good words to them, then they will always be your servants.”
8 Bet viņš atmeta to vecaju padomu, ko tie viņam bija devuši, un prasīja padomu no tiem jauniem, kas ar viņu bija uzauguši un viņa priekšā stāvēja.
But Rehoboam ignored the advice that the old men had given him and he consulted with the young men who had grown up with him and stood before him.
9 Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: kādu padomu jūs dodat, kā lai atbildam šiem ļaudīm, kas uz mani runājuši un sacījuši: atvieglini to jūgu, ko tavs tēvs mums uzlicis?
He said to them, “What advice do you give me that we may answer the people who spoke to me and said, 'Lighten the yoke that your father put on us'?”
10 Un tie jaunie, kas ar viņu bija uzauguši, uz to runāja un sacīja: tā tev būs sacīt uz tiem ļaudīm, kas uz tevi runājuši un sacījuši: tavs tēvs mūsu jūgu grūtu darījis, tad atvieglini tu to mums, - tā tev uz tiem būs sacīt: mans mazais pirksts resnāks nekā mana tēva gurni.
The young men who had grown up with Rehoboam spoke to him, saying, “Speak to these people who told you that your father Solomon made their yoke heavy but that you must make it lighter. You should say to them, 'My little finger is thicker than my father's waist.
11 Ja nu mans tēvs jums uzlicis grūtu jūgu, tad es to jūgu jums padarīšu vēl grūtāku. Mans tēvs jūs pārmācījis ar pātagām, bet es jūs pārmācīšu ar skorpioniem.
So now, although my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father punished you with whips, but I will punish you with scorpions.'”
12 Un trešā dienā Jerobeams un visi ļaudis nāca pie Rekabeama, kā ķēniņš bija runājis un sacījis: atnākat atkal pie manis trešā dienā.
So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had instructed when he said, “Come back to me on the third day.”
13 Un ķēniņš tiem ļaudīm atbildēja bargi, jo viņš atmeta to vecaju padomu, ko tie viņam bija devuši.
The king answered the people roughly and ignored the advice of the old men that they had given him.
14 Un viņš uz tiem runāja pēc to jauno padoma sacīdams: mans tēvs jūsu jūgu ir darījis grūtu, bet es jums to darīšu vēl grūtāku. Mans tēvs jūs pārmācījis ar pātagām, bet es jūs pārmācīšu ar skorpioniem.
He spoke to them following the advice of the young men; he said, “My father burdened you with a heavy yoke, but I will add to your yoke. My father punished you with whips, but I will punish you with scorpions.”
15 Un ķēniņš neklausīja tos ļaudis, jo tā tas bija no Tā Kunga nolikts, ka notiktu pēc tā vārda, ko Tas Kungs bija runājis caur Ahiju no Šīlo uz Jerobeamu, Nebata dēlu.
So the king did not listen to the people, for it was a turn of events brought about by Yahweh, that he might carry out his word that he had spoken by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.
16 Kad nu viss Israēls redzēja, ka ķēniņš viņiem neklausīja, tad tie ļaudis ķēniņam atkal atbildēja un sacīja: kāda daļa mums ir ar Dāvidu? Mums nav īpašuma pie Isajus dēla. Israēl, ej savos dzīvokļos; zinies nu par savu namu, Dāvid! Tā Israēls gāja uz saviem dzīvokļiem.
When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered him and said, “What share do we have in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse! Go to your tents, Israel. Now see to your own house, David.” So Israel went back to their tents.
17 Bet tik pār tiem Israēla bērniem, kas dzīvoja Jūda pilsētās, Rekabeams bija ķēniņš.
But as for the people of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam became king over them.
18 Tad ķēniņš Rekabeams sūtīja Adoramu, kas bija strādnieku uzraugs; bet viss Israēls to nomētāja akmeņiem, ka tas nomira. Bet ķēniņš Rekabeams kāpa steigšus ratos, bēgt uz Jeruzālemi.
Then King Rehoboam sent Adoniram, who was over the forced laborers, but all Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam fled quickly in his chariot to Jerusalem.
19 Tā Israēls atkrita no Dāvida nama līdz šai dienai.
So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.
20 Un kad viss Israēls dzirdēja, ka Jerobeams bija pārnācis, tad tie sūtīja un viņu aicināja uz sapulci un cēla par ķēniņu pār visu Israēli. Neviens neturējās pie Dāvida nama, kā Jūda cilts vien.
It happened that when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, they sent and called him to their assembly and made him king over all Israel. There was no one who followed the family of David, except only the tribe of Judah.
21 Kad nu Rekabeams nonāca Jeruzālemē, tad viņš sapulcēja visu Jūda namu un Benjamina cilti, simts un astoņdesmit tūkstoš izlasītus kara vīrus, karot ar Israēla namu, valstību atkal vest pie Rekabeama, Salamana dēla.
When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin; there were 180,000 chosen men who were soldiers, to fight against the house of Israel, to restore the kingdom to Rehoboam son of Solomon.
22 Bet Dieva vārds notika uz Šemaju, Dieva vīru, tā:
But the word of God came to Shemaiah, the man of God; it said,
23 Runā uz Rekabeamu, Salamana dēlu, Jūda ķēniņu, un uz visiem Jūda un Benjamina bērniem un uz tiem citiem ļaudīm un saki:
“Speak to Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, to all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people; say,
24 Tā saka Tas Kungs: jums nebūs celties un karā iet pret saviem brāļiem, Israēla bērniem; griežaties atpakaļ, ikkatrs savā namā, jo šī lieta caur mani notikusi. Un tie klausīja Tā Kunga vārdam un griezās atpakaļ un aizgāja pēc Tā Kunga vārda.
'Yahweh says this: You must not attack or fight against your brothers the people of Israel. Each man must return to his home, for this thing has been made to happen by me.'” So they listened to the word of Yahweh and turned back and went their way, and they obeyed his word.
25 Un Jerobeams uztaisīja Šehemi Efraīma kalnos un tur dzīvoja, un izgāja no turienes un uztaisīja Pnuēlu.
Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and lived there. He went out from there and built Peniel.
26 Un Jerobeams domāja savā sirdī: nu tā valstība atkal nāks pie Dāvida nama;
Jeroboam thought in his heart, “Now the kingdom will return to the house of David.
27 Ja šie ļaudis ies uz Jeruzālemi upurēt Tā Kunga namā, tad šo ļaužu sirds atkal griezīsies pie sava kunga, pie Rekabeama, Jūda ķēniņa, un tie mani nokaus un griezīsies atkal pie Rekabeama, Jūda ķēniņa.
If these people go up to offer sacrifices in the temple of Yahweh at Jerusalem, then the heart of these people will turn again to their master, to Rehoboam king of Judah. They will kill me and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.”
28 Tāpēc ķēniņš aprunājās un taisīja divus zelta tēlus, un sacīja uz tiem (ļaudīm): jums pa daudz, iet uz Jeruzālemi, redzi, še tavs dievs, Israēl, kas tevi no Ēģiptes zemes izvedis.
So King Jeroboam sought advice and made two calves of gold; he said to the people, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Look, these are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”
29 Un viņš lika vienu Bētelē un otru Danā.
He set up one in Bethel and the other in Dan.
30 Un tas bija par apgrēcību; jo tie ļaudis gāja gan pie tā viena, gan pie tā otra līdz Danam.
So this act became a sin. The people went to one or the other, all the way to Dan.
31 Viņš taisīja arī kalna altāra namu un iecēla priesterus no visādiem ļaudīm, kas nebija no Levja bērniem.
Jeroboam made houses on high places and he also made priests from among all the people, who were not among the sons of Levi.
32 Un Jerobeams turēja svētkus astotā mēnesī piecpadsmitā mēneša dienā, tāpat kā tos svētkus, kas iekš Jūda bija, un upurēja uz tā altāra. Tā viņš Bētelē darīja, tiem teļiem upurēdams, ko viņš bija taisījis; viņš iecēla arīdzan Bētelē priesterus pie tiem kalna altāriem, ko viņš bija taisījis.
Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that is in Judah, and he went up to the altar. He did so at Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made, and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places he had made.
33 Un viņš upurēja uz tā altāra, ko viņš Bētelē bija taisījis, piecpadsmitā mēneša dienā, astotā mēnesī, ko viņš pats bija izdomājis; tā viņš Israēla bērniem iecēla svētkus un upurēja uz tā altāra kvēpinādams.
Jeroboam went up to the altar that he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, in the month he had planned in his own mind; he ordained a feast for the people of Israel and went up to the altar to burn incense.
