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 happened after many days that the word of the LORD came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, "Go, present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the earth."
2 Un Elija nogāja, Ahabam rādīties, bet bads Samarijā bija grūts.
So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab. And the famine was severe in Samaria.
3 Un Ahabs bija aicinājis nama uzraugu Obadiju, un Obadija bijās To Kungu ļoti.
And Ahab summoned Obadiah, the steward of the house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD 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.
And it came about, when Jezebel was killing the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took one hundred prophets and hid them, fifty 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 to Obadiah, "Go through the land, to all the springs of water, and to all the wadis. Perhaps we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we not lose all the animals."
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 explore it; Ahab went one way alone, and Obadiah went another way alone.
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 on the way, look, Elijah met him; and he recognized him and fell on his face and said, "Is it you, my lord Elijah?"
8 Un viņš sacīja: es tas esmu, ej, saki savam kungam: redzi, Elija ir še.
He answered him, "It is I. Go, tell your lord, 'Look, 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, "How have I sinned, that you would deliver your servant into the hand of Ahab, to kill 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 the LORD your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom, where my lord has not sent to seek you. When they said, 'He is not here,' he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they did not find you.
11 Un nu tu saki: ej, saki savam kungam, redzi, Elija ir še.
Now you say, 'Go, tell your lord, "Look, 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.
It will happen, as soon as I am gone from you, that the Spirit of the LORD will carry you I do not know where; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he can't find you, he will kill me. But I, your servant, have feared the LORD 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?
Wasn't it told my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of the LORD, how I hid one hundred men of the LORD's prophets, fifty 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.
Now you say, 'Go, tell your lord, "Look, Elijah is here";' and he will kill me."
15 Tad Elija uz to sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs Cebaot dzīvo, ka priekšā es stāvu, es šodien viņam rādīšos.
Elijah said, "As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely present myself to him today."
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?
It happened, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, "Is that you, you 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.
He answered, "I have not troubled Israel; but you, and your father's house, in that you have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and you have followed the Baals.
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 to Mount Carmel, and four hundred fifty of the prophets of Baal, and four hundred of the prophets of the Asherah, who eat at Jezebel's table."
20 Tad Ahabs izsūtīja pie visiem Israēla bērniem un sapulcināja tos praviešus Karmeļa kalnā.
So Ahab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together at 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.
Elijah came near to all the people, and said, "How long will you keep limping between two positions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him." But the people did not answer him 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 Elijah said to the people, "I, even I only, am left a prophet of the LORD; but the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men, and the prophets of Asherah four hundred.
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 bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under. And I will prepare the other bull, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under it.
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.
You call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD, and the god who answers by fire, he is God." All the people answered, "It is well said."
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.
Then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, "Choose one bull for yourselves, and prepare it first, for you are the majority, and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it."
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 bull which was given them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, "Baal, answer us." But there was no voice, nor any who answered. And they limped about the altar they had 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 about, at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, "Cry aloud, for he is a god. Maybe he is thinking about it, or he is busy, or he is on a trip, or perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened."
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, as was their custom, with swords and spears, until the blood gushed out on 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 when midday was past, they prophesied until the offering up of the offering; but there was no voice, no answer, and no response.
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.
Elijah said to all the people, "Come near to me"; and all the people came near to him. He repaired the altar of the LORD that had been torn down.
31 Un Elija ņēma divpadsmit akmeņus pēc Jēkaba bērnu skaita, uz ko Tā Kunga vārds bija noticis, sacīdams: tavu vārdu būs saukt Israēli.
Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD came, saying, "Israel shall be your 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 the LORD. And he made a trench around the altar, large enough to contain two seahs of seed.
33 Un viņš salika malku un dalīja to vērsi gabalos un to nolika uz to malku.
And he arranged the wood, and cut the bull in pieces, and laid it 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, "Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt offering, and on the wood." And they did so. And he said, "Do it a second time"; and they did it the second time. And he said, "Do it a 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 around the altar; and he also filled the trench 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;
It happened at the time of the offering up of the offering, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, "LORD, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your 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, LORD, hear me, that this people may know that you, LORD, are God, and that you have 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 the LORD 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 facedown and said, "The LORD, he is God. The LORD, 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 to them, "Seize the prophets of Baal. Do not let one of them escape." And they seized them. And Elijah brought them down to the Wadi Kishon, and killed them there.
41 Tad Elija sacīja uz Ahabu: celies, ēd un dzer, jo šņāc kā uz lietu.
And Elijah said to Ahab, "Get up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of a heavy 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. Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed himself down toward the ground, 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." So he went up, and looked, and said, "There is nothing." Then he said, "Go again" seven times. And the servant went 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.
It happened at the seventh time, that he said, "Look, a small cloud, like a man's hand, is rising out of the sea." He said, "Go up, tell Ahab, 'Get ready and go down, so that the rain doesn't stop you.'"
45 Un pēc tam debess apmācās ar melniem mākoņiem un vētru un stiprs lietus gāzās. Un Ahabs sēdās ratos un brauca uz Jezreēli.
It happened in a little while, that the sky grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy rain. 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.
The hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he tucked his cloak into his belt and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
