Pirmā Ķēniņu 18
1 Un pēc ilga laika Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Eliju trešā gadā tā: ej, rādies Ahabam, un Es došu lietu zemes virsū.
And it came to pass after many days, that the word of Jehovah came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, Go, show thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.
2 Un Elija nogāja, Ahabam rādīties, bet bads Samarijā bija grūts.
And Elijah went to show himself unto Ahab. And the famine was sore in Samaria.
3 Un Ahabs bija aicinājis nama uzraugu Obadiju, un Obadija bijās To Kungu ļoti.
And Ahab called Obadiah, who was over the household. (Now Obadiah feared Jehovah greatly:
4 Jo kad Izebele bija izdeldējusi Tā Kunga praviešus, tad Obadija ņēma simts praviešus un tos apslēpa pa piecdesmit vienā alā un tos uzturēja ar maizi un ūdeni.
for it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Jehovah, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
5 Un Ahabs bija sacījis uz Obadiju: ej pa to zemi pie visiem ūdens avotiem un pie visām upēm, vai mēs neatradīsim zāli, ka dzīvus uzturam zirgus un zirgēzeļus, ka tie lopi visai neiet bojā.
And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go through the land, unto all the fountains of water, and unto all the brooks: peradventure we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.
6 Un tie to zemi dalīja savā starpā, to parstaigāt; Ahabs gaja viens pa vienu ceļu, un Obadija gāja arīdzan viens pa otru ceļu.
So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
7 Kad nu Obadija bija ceļā, redzi, tad Elija tam nāca pretī, un viņš to pazīdams metās uz savu vaigu un sacīja: vai tu neesi mans kungs Elija?
And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Is it thou, my lord Elijah?
8 Un viņš sacīja: es tas esmu, ej, saki savam kungam: redzi, Elija ir še.
And he answered him, It is I: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah [is here].
9 Bet viņš sacīja: ko es esmu grēkojis, ka tu savu kalpu dod Ahabam rokā, ka es topu nokauts?
And he said, Wherein have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?
10 Tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, dzīvo, nav nevienas tautas, nedz valsts, kurp mans kungs nebūtu sūtījis, tevi meklēt. Un kad tie sacīja: še viņa nav, tad viņš tai valstij un tai tautai lika zvērēt, ka tie tevi nebija atraduši.
As Jehovah thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not here, he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.
11 Un nu tu saki: ej, saki savam kungam, redzi, Elija ir še.
And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah [is here].
12 Un notiks, kad es no tevis aiziešu, un Tā Kunga gars tevi aizņems, kas zin kur, un ja es būtu gājis Ahabam to sacīt, un viņš tevi pēc neatrastu, tad viņš mani nokautu. Bet es tavs kalps bīstos To Kungu no savām jaunām dienām.
And it will come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of Jehovah will carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he will slay me: but I thy servant fear Jehovah from my youth.
13 Vai manam kungam nav sacīts, ko es esmu darījis, kad Izebele nokāva Tā Kunga praviešus, ka es simtu no Tā Kunga praviešiem apslēpu pa piecdesmit vienā alā un tos uzturēju ar maizi un ūdeni?
Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid a hundred men of Jehovah’s prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
14 Un nu tu saki: ej, saki savam kungam, redzi, Elija ir še; tad jau viņš mani nokaus.
And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah [is here]; and he will slay me.
15 Tad Elija uz to sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs Cebaot dzīvo, ka priekšā es stāvu, es šodien viņam rādīšos.
And Elijah said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself unto him to-day.
16 Tad Obadija nogāja Ahabam pretī un viņam to sacīja. Un Ahabs gāja Elijam pretī.
So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
17 Un kad Ahabs Eliju ieraudzīja, tad Ahabs uz to sacīja: vai tu tas esi, kas Israēli sajauc?
And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Is it thou, thou troubler of Israel?
18 Un viņš sacīja: es Israēli neesmu sajaucis, bet tu un tava tēva nams, caur to, ka jūs esat atstājuši Tā Kunga baušļus un Baāliem pakaļ staigājuši.
And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of Jehovah, and thou hast followed the Baalim.
19 Un nu sūti, sapulcini pie manis visu Israēli Karmeļa kalnā un tos četrsimt un piecdesmit Baāla praviešus un tos četrsimt Ašeras praviešus, kas ēd pie Izebeles galda.
Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the Asherah four hundred, that eat at Jezebel’s table.
20 Tad Ahabs izsūtīja pie visiem Israēla bērniem un sapulcināja tos praviešus Karmeļa kalnā.
So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
21 Tad Elija piegāja pie visiem ļaudīm un sacīja: cik ilgi jūs klibosiet uz abējām pusēm? Ja Tas Kungs ir Dievs, tad ejat viņam pakaļ, bet ja Baāls tas ir, tad ejat tam pakaļ. Un tie ļaudis tam neatbildēja ne vārda.
And Elijah came near unto all the people, and said, How long go ye limping between the two sides? if Jehovah be God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
22 Tad Elija sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: es viens vienīgs esmu atlicis, Tā Kunga pravietis, bet Baāla praviešu ir četrsimt un piecdesmit.
Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, am left a prophet of Jehovah; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
23 Un dodiet nu mums divus vēršus, un lai tie to vienu vērsi izvēlās un sacērt gabalos un liek uz malku, bet uguni tiem nebūs pielikt; tad es sataisīšu arī to otru vērsi un to likšu uz malku un nelikšu uguni klāt.
Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under; and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under.
24 Tad piesauciet jūs sava dieva vārdu, bet es piesaukšu Tā Kunga vārdu: kurš Dievs nu ar uguni atbildēs, tas lai ir Dievs. Tad visi ļaudis atbildēja un sacīja: šis vārds ir labs.
And call ye on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of Jehovah; and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
25 Un Elija sacīja uz tiem Baāla praviešiem: izvēlaties to vienu vērsi un sataisiet to papriekš, jo jūs esat daudzi un piesauciet sava dieva vārdu, bet uguni neliekat klāt.
And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under.
26 Tad tie ņēma to vērsi, ko viņš tiem deva un to sataisīja un piesauca Baāla vārdu no rīta līdz dienasvidum sacīdami: Baāl, paklausi mūs! Bet tur nebija ne balss, ne atbildes! Un tie lēkāja ap to altāri, kas bija taisīts.
And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped about the altar which was made.
27 Un ap dienasvidu Elija tos apsmēja un sacīja: sauciet stiprā balsī, jo viņš taču ir dievs; viņš laikam ir domās vai darīšanās vai ceļā, varbūt ka viņš guļ, lai uzmostas.
And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud; for he is a god: either he is musing, or he is gone aside, or he is on a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth and must be awaked.
28 Un tie sauca ar stipru balsi un iegriezās pēc sava ieraduma ar nažiem un īleniem, kamēr tiem asinis tecēja.
And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lances, till the blood gushed out upon them.
29 Kad nu pusdiena jau bija pāri, tad tie vēl muldēja līdz ēdamā upura laikam; bet tur nebija ne balss, ne atbildes, ne uzklausīšanās.
And it was so, when midday was past, that they prophesied until the time of the offering of the [evening] oblation; but there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.
30 Tad Elija sacīja uz visiem ļaudīm: nāciet šurp pie manis. Tad visi ļaudis pie tā piegāja, un viņš uztaisīja atkal Tā Kunga altāri, kas bija salauzts.
And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me; and all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of Jehovah that was thrown down.
31 Un Elija ņēma divpadsmit akmeņus pēc Jēkaba bērnu skaita, uz ko Tā Kunga vārds bija noticis, sacīdams: tavu vārdu būs saukt Israēli.
And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of Jehovah came, saying, Israel shall be thy name.
32 Un viņš uztaisīja no tiem akmeņiem altāri Tā Kunga Vārdā, un taisīja bedri ap to altāri, tik platu, ka tur divi mēri labības varēja saiet.
And with the stones he built an altar in the name of Jehovah; and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.
33 Un viņš salika malku un dalīja to vērsi gabalos un to nolika uz to malku.
And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it on the wood. And he said, Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt-offering, and on the wood.
34 Un viņš sacīja: pildiet četrus traukus ar ūdeni un lejiet to uz to dedzināmo upuri un uz to malku. Un viņš sacīja: dariet to vēl otru reizi. Un tie to darīja otru reizi. Un viņš sacīja: dariet to trešo reizi, un tie to darīja trešo reizi.
And he said, Do it the second time; and they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time; and they did it the third time.
35 Un ūdens tecēja ap altāri, un bedre tapa pilna ar ūdeni.
And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
36 Un ap ēdamā upura laiku pravietis Elija piegāja un sacīja: Kungs, Ābrahāma, Īzaka un Israēla Dievs, šodien lai top zināms, ka Tu esi Dievs iekš Israēla un es Tavs kalps, un ka visu šo esmu darījis uz Tavu vārdu;
And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the [evening] oblation, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, O Jehovah, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.
37 Paklausi mani, Kungs, paklausi mani, lai šie ļaudis atzīst, ka Tu Kungs esi Dievs, un ka Tu viņu sirdi atgriezi atpakaļ.
Hear me, O Jehovah, hear me, that this people may know that thou, Jehovah, art God, and [that] thou hast turned their heart back again.
38 Tad Tā Kunga uguns krita zemē un aprija to dedzināmo upuri un to malku un tos akmeņus un to zemi un uzlaizīja arī to ūdeni bedrē.
Then the fire of Jehovah fell, and consumed the burnt-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
39 Kad nu visi ļaudis to redzēja, tad tie metās uz savu vaigu un sacīja: Tas Kungs ir Dievs, Tas Kungs ir Dievs.
And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, Jehovah, he is God; Jehovah, he is God.
40 Un Elija uz tiem sacīja: grābiet Baāla praviešus, ka neviens no tiem neizsprūk! Tad tie tos sagrāba. Un Elija tos noveda pie Ķizones upes un tos tur nokāva.
And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
41 Tad Elija sacīja uz Ahabu: celies, ēd un dzer, jo šņāc kā uz lietu.
And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.
42 Un Ahabs gāja ēst un dzert, bet Elija gāja Karmeļa kalna galā un metās zemē un lika savu vaigu starp saviem ceļiem.
So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees.
43 Un viņš sacīja uz savu puisi: ej jel un skaties uz jūru. Tad tas gāja un skatījās un sacīja: tur nav nekā. Tad viņš sacīja: ej atkal! Septiņām lāgām.
And he said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.
44 Un septītā reizē viņš sacīja: redzi, mazs mākonīts, kā vīra plauksta, ceļas no jūras. Tad viņš sacīja: noej, saki Ahabam jūdz un brauc, ka lietus tevi neaizņem.
And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a cloud out of the sea, as small as a man’s hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Make ready [thy chariot], and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.
45 Un pēc tam debess apmācās ar melniem mākoņiem un vētru un stiprs lietus gāzās. Un Ahabs sēdās ratos un brauca uz Jezreēli.
And it came to pass in a little while, that the heavens grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel:
46 Un Tā Kunga roka nāca pār Eliju, un tas apjoza savus gurnus un skrēja Ahabam pa priekšu līdz Jezreēlei.
and the hand of Jehovah was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
