Pirmā Ķēniņu 2
1 Kad nu Dāvidam laiks atnāca mirt, tad viņš pavēlēja savam dēlam Salamanam un sacīja:
When David [knew that he] was about to die, he gave these final instructions to his son Solomon:
2 Es eju visas pasaules ceļu. Tāpēc ņemies drošu prātu un turies kā vīrs.
“I am about to die [EUP], like everyone else on earth does. Be courageous and conduct yourself as an adult should.
3 Un sargi, kas jāsargā Tam Kungam, tavam Dievam, staigādams Viņa ceļos, turēdams Viņa likumus, Viņa baušļus un Viņa tiesas un Viņa liecības, tā kā Mozus bauslībā ir rakstīts, ka tu prātīgi turies iekš visa, ko tu dari, un visur, kurp tu griezies.
Do what Yahweh our God tells you to do. Conduct yourself as he wants you to do. Obey all of his laws and commands and precepts and instructions that are written in the laws that Moses [gave us]. Do this in order that you will prosper in all that you do and wherever you go.
4 Lai Tas Kungs Savu vārdu apstiprina, ko Tas uz mani runājis, sacīdams: ja tavi dēli savu ceļu sargās, staigādami priekš Mana vaiga uzticīgi ar visu savu sirdi un ar visu savu dvēseli, tad, Viņš sacīja, tev netrūks vīra, kas sēdēs uz Israēla goda krēsla.
If you continually do that, Yahweh will do what he promised me: He said, ‘If your descendants do what I tell them to do, and faithfully obey my commands with all their inner beings, they will always be [LIT] the ones who will rule [MTY] Israel.’
5 Tu arī gan zini, ko Joabs, Cerujas dēls, man ir darījis, un ko viņš darījis Israēla kara virsniekiem, Abneram, Nera dēlam, un Amasum, Jetera dēlam, ka viņš tos nokāvis, un kara asinis izlējis miera laikā un kara asinis licis pie savas jostas, kas ap viņa gurniem, un pie savām kurpēm, kas pie viņa kājām
“There is something else [that I want you to do]. You know what Joab did to me. He killed my two army commanders, Abner and Amasa. He murdered them violently [MTY] during a time of peace, pretending that it was a time of war. Those two men (were innocent/had not done what was wrong). But Joab [killed them and] their blood to stain his belt and his sandals.
6 Tāpēc dari pēc savas gudrības, ka tu viņa sirmiem matiem nelieci ar mieru nākt kapā. (Sheol h7585)
Because you are wise, do to him what you think is best [for you to do], but do not allow him to become old [MTY] and then die [IDM] peacefully. (Sheol h7585)
7 Bet Barzilajus, tā Gileādieša, dēliem, tev būs labu darīt, ka tie ir starp tiem, kas ēd pie tava galda, jo tā tie turējās pie manis, kad es bēgu priekš tava brāļa Absaloma.
“But be kind to the sons of Barzillai, the man from [the] Gilead [region], and be sure that they always have enough food to eat [MTY]. Do that because Barzillai helped me when I was running away from your older brother Absalom.
8 Un redzi, pie tevis ir Šimejus, Ģera dēls, tas Benjaminiets no Bakurim, kas mani lādēja ar briesmīgu lādēšanu tai dienā, kad es uz Mahānaīm gāju. Bet viņš man nonāca pretī pie Jardānes, un es viņam pie Tā Kunga esmu zvērējis, sacīdams; es tevi ar zobenu nekaušu.
Also, [you remember] Gera’s son Shimei from Bahurim [town] in the area where the descendants of Benjamin live. [You know what he did to me]. He cursed me terribly on the day I [left Jerusalem and] went to Mahanaim [town]. But when he later came down to see me at the Jordan [River], I solemnly promised, while Yahweh listened [MTY], that I would not cause him to be executed.
9 Bet tu neturi viņu par nenoziedzīgu, jo tu esi gudrs vīrs un gan zināsi, ko tev viņam būs darīt, ka tu viņa sirmiem matiem ar asinīm lieci nākt bedrē. (Sheol h7585)
But now you must [LIT] surely punish him. You are a wise man, so you will know what you should do to him. He is an old man [MTY], but be sure that he [loses/sheds] a lot of blood when you kill him [MTY].” (Sheol h7585)
10 Tā Dāvids gāja dusēt pie saviem tēviem un tapa aprakts Dāvida pilsētā.
Then David died [EUP] and was buried in [that part of Jerusalem which was called] ‘The City of David’.
11 Un tas laiks, kamēr Dāvids ķēniņš bijis pār Israēli, ir četrdesmit gadi; septiņus gadus viņš bija valdījis Hebronē un trīsdesmit un trīs gadus Jeruzālemē.
David had been the king of Israel for 40 years: He ruled for seven years in Hebron and for 33 years in Jerusalem.
12 Un Salamans sēdēja uz sava tēva Dāvida goda krēsla, un viņa valstība tapa varen stiprināta.
Solomon became the ruler/king [MTY] to take the place of his father David and took control of all of the kingdom.
13 Un Adonija, Aģitas dēls, nāca pie Batsebas, Salamana mātes; un tā sacīja: vai tu nāc ar mieru? Un viņš sacīja: ar mieru.
[One day] Adonijah came to Solomon’s mother Bathsheba. She said to him, “Have you come because you want things to go well?” He replied, “Yes.”
14 Un viņš sacīja: man ar tevi kas jārunā. Un viņa sacīja: runā.
But then he said, “I have something to ask you to do.” She said, “Tell me [what you want me to do].”
15 Tad viņš sacīja: tu zini, ka man tā valstība piederēja, un visas Israēla acis uz mani skatījās, ka man bija ķēniņam būt; bet nu tā valstība ir novērsta un manam brālim tikusi, jo no Tā Kunga tā viņam ir tikusi.
He said, “You know that all the Israeli people expected me to be their king [because I am David’s oldest surviving son]. But that did not happen. Instead, my [younger] brother became king, because that is what Yahweh wanted.
16 Bet nu es no tevis lūdzu vienu vienīgu lūgšanu, - neapkauno manu vaigu!
Now I have one thing that I ask you to do. Please do not refuse to do it.” She replied, “Tell me [what you want me to do].”
17 Un viņa uz to sacīja: runā. Tad viņš sacīja: runā jel ar ķēniņu Salamanu, jo viņš tavu vaigu neliks kaunā, ka viņš man Abizagu no Šunemes dod par sievu.
He said, “Please ask King Solomon to give to me Abishag, the woman from Shunem [town], to be my wife. [I am sure that] he will not refuse.”
18 Un Batseba sacīja: labi, es tevis pēc ar ķēniņu runāšu.
Bathsheba replied, “Okay, I will speak to the king for you.”
19 Tā Batseba nāca pie ķēniņa Salamana, Adonijas labad ar viņu runāt. Un ķēniņš cēlās viņai pretī un paklanījās priekš tās; un viņš apsēdās uz sava goda krēsla un deva ķēniņa mātei arī krēslu, un tā sēdēja pa viņa labo roku.
So Bathsheba went to King Solomon, to tell him what Adonijah wanted. The king got up [from his throne] and went to greet her and bowed down to her. Then he sat on his throne again and asked someone to bring a chair for her. So she sat down at the king’s right side.
20 Un viņa sacīja: es lūdzos no tevis vienu mazu lūgšanu, - neapkauno manu vaigu. Un ķēniņš uz to sacīja: lūdz, mana māte, es tavu vaigu neapkaunošu.
Then she said, “I have one small thing which I want you to do; please do not say that you will not do it.” The king replied, “Mother, what do you want? I will not refuse you.”
21 Un viņa sacīja: dod Abizagu no Šunemes savam brālim Adonijam par sievu.
She said, “Allow Abishag to be given to your [older] brother Adonijah to be his wife.”
22 Tad ķēniņš Salamans atbildēja un sacīja uz savu māti: kāpēc tad tu prasi Abizagu no Šunemes priekš Adonijas? Prasi priekš viņa arī to valstību, jo viņš ir mans brālis, vecāks nekā es, priekš viņa un Abjatara, tā priestera, un Joaba, Cerujas dēla!
The king replied [angrily], “What? Are you requesting me to give Abishag to Adonijah? [Does he want me] to allow him to rule the kingdom, too? Because he is my older brother, [does he think that he should be the king]? Does he think that Abiathar should be the priest [instead of Zadok], and that Joab [should be the army commander instead of Benaiah] because they supported him [when he tried to become the king]?”
23 Un ķēniņš Salamans zvērēja pie Tā Kunga un sacīja: lai man Dievs šā un tā dara, tiešām, Adonija šo vārdu būs runājis pret savu dzīvību.
Then Solomon solemnly promised, requesting Yahweh to listen, “I wish God would strike me and kill me if I do not cause Adonijah to be executed for requesting this!
24 Un nu, tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo, kas mani apstiprinājis un mani sēdinājis uz mana tēva Dāvida goda krēslu, un kas man ir namu cēlis, itin kā viņš runājis, tiešām, Adonija šodien taps nokauts.
Yahweh has appointed me to be the king and placed me here to rule [MTY] as my father David did. He has promised that my descendants [MTY] will be the kings of Israel. So just as surely as Yahweh lives, I solemnly promise that Adonijah will be executed today!”
25 Un ķēniņš Salamans nosūtīja pavēli Benajam, Jojadas dēlam; šis to nokāva, un tas nomira.
So King Solomon gave orders to Benaiah to [go and] kill Adonijah, and Benaiah did that.
26 Un uz priesteri Abjataru ķēniņš sacīja: ej uz Anatotu, uz savu tīrumu, jo tu esi nāvi pelnījis. Bet es tevi šodien nenokaušu, tāpēc ka tu Tā Kunga Dieva šķirstu nesis mana tēva Dāvida priekšā, un ka tu līdz panesis visu, ko mans tēvs panesis.
Then Solomon said to Abiathar the priest, “Go to Anathoth [town], to your land there. You deserve to be killed, but I will not execute you now, because you were the one who [supervised the men who] carried Yahweh’s Sacred Chest for David my father, and you endured all the troubles that my father endured.”
27 Tā Salamans izdzina Abjataru, ka tas Tam Kungam vairs nebija par priesteri, lai piepildītos Tā Kunga vārds, ko viņš par Elus namu Šīlo bija runājis.
So Solomon dismissed Abiathar from being the priest of Yahweh. By doing that he caused to happen what Yahweh had said [many years previously] at Shiloh, [that some day he would get rid] of the descendants [MTY] of Eli.
28 Kad nu šī vēsts pie Joaba nāca (jo Joabs bija turējies pie Adonijas, jebšu nebija turējies pie Absaloma), tad Joabs bēga Tā Kunga teltī un satvēra altāra ragus.
Joab had not supported Absalom [when he tried to become the king], but he had supported Adonijah. So when Joab heard what had happened, he ran to the Sacred Tent, and he grasped the projections on the corners of the altar, [because he knew that no one would kill him there].
29 Un ķēniņam Salamanam tapa sacīts, ka Joabs bēdzis Tā Kunga teltī, un redzi, viņš ir pie altāra. Tad Salamans sūtīja Benaju, Jojadas dēlu, un sacīja: ej, kauj viņu.
When someone told Solomon that Joab had run to the Sacred Tent and was standing alongside the altar, Solomon told Benaiah, “Go and execute Joab.”
30 Un kad Benaja uz Tā Kunga telti nāca, tad viņš uz to sacīja: tā saka ķēniņš: ej ārā. Bet viņš sacīja: nē, bet še es gribu mirt. Tad Benaja nesa ķēniņam atbildi un sacīja: tā Joabs ir runājis un tā viņš man ir atbildējis.
So Benaiah went to the Sacred Tent and said to Joab, “The king commands you to come out!” But Joab replied, “No, I will die here.” So Benaiah went back to the king and reported [what he had said to Joab, and] what Joab had replied.
31 Un ķēniņš uz viņu sacīja: dari tā, kā viņš ir runājis, kauj viņu un aproc viņu, ka tu no manis un no mana tēva nama atņem tās asinis, ko Joabs velti izlējis.
The king replied to him, “Do what he has requested. Kill him and bury his body. If you do that, my descendants [MTY] and I will no longer be punished for what Joab did when he killed [MTY] two men who (were innocent/had not done anything that is wrong).
32 Un Tas Kungs lai liek viņa asinīm atkal nākt uz viņa galvu, tāpēc ka viņš ir sitis divus vīrus, kas labāki un taisnāki bija nekā viņš, un tos ir nokāvis ar zobenu, bez mana tēva Dāvida ziņas, proti Abneru, Nera dēlu, Israēla kara virsnieku, un Amasu, Jetera dēlu, Jūda kara virsnieku.
But Yahweh will punish [MTY] Joab for attacking and killing Abner, the commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa, the commander of the army of Judah, two men who were more righteous and better [DOU] men than he is. My father David did not even know that Joab [was planning to murder them].
33 Viņu asinis lai atkal nāk uz Joaba galvu un uz viņa dzimuma galvu mūžīgi. Bet Dāvidam un viņa dzimumam un viņa namam un viņa goda krēslam lai ir miers no Tā Kunga mūžīgi.
Joab and his descendants will be punished [IDM] forever for his murdering Abner and Amasa. But things will forever go well for David’s descendants [MTY] who rule [MTY] as King David did.”
34 Un Benaja, Jojadas dēls, nogāja un sita viņu un to nokāva. Un viņš tapa aprakts savā namā tuksnesī.
So Benaiah went [into the Sacred Tent] and killed Joab. Joab was buried on his property in the desert [part of Judah].
35 Un ķēniņš iecēla Benaju, Jojadas dēlu, viņa vietā pār karaspēku, un priesteri Cadoku ķēniņš iecēla Abjatara vietā.
Then the king appointed Benaiah to be the commander of the army instead of Joab, and he appointed Zadok to be the priest instead of Abiathar.
36 Un ķēniņš nosūtīja un lika Šimeju aicināt, un uz to sacīja: uztaisi sev namu Jeruzālemē un dzīvo tur un neizej no turienes it nekur;
Then the king sent [a messenger] to summon Shimei, and the king said to him, “Build a house for yourself here in Jerusalem. Remain there and do not leave the city to go anywhere.
37 Un notiks, kurā dienā tu iziesi un iesi pār Kidronas upi, tad zini tiešām, ka tu mirdams mirsi, - tavas asinis lai paliek uz tavas galvas.
Be sure that the day that you leave Jerusalem and go across the Kidron Brook, you will be executed, and it will be (your own fault/what you deserve).”
38 Tad Šimejus sacīja uz ķēniņu: tas ir labs vārds; kā mans kungs, tas ķēniņš, ir runājis, tā tavs kalps darīs. Tā Šimejus dzīvoja Jeruzālemē labu laiku.
Shimei replied, “Your Majesty, what you say is good. I will do what you have said.” So Shimei remained in Jerusalem for several years.
39 Un notikās pēc trim gadiem, ka Šimejum divi kalpi aizbēga pie Aķisa, Maēkas dēla, Gatas ķēniņa. Un Šimejum teica un sacīja: redzi, tavi kalpi ir Gatā.
But three years later, two of Shimei’s slaves ran away. They went to stay with Maacah’s son Achish, the king of Gath [city]. When someone told Shimei that they were in Gath,
40 Tad Šimejus cēlās un apsegloja savu ēzeli un nogāja uz Gatu pie Aķisa, savus kalpus meklēt. Un tā Šimejus nogāja un atveda savus kalpus no Gatas.
he put a saddle on his donkey and [got on it and] went to Gath. He found his slaves staying with King Achish and brought them back home.
41 Un Salamanam tapa sacīts, ka Šimejus no Jeruzālemes bija nogājis uz Gatu un atkal pārnācis.
But someone told King Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had returned.
42 Tad ķēniņš sūtīja un sauca Šimeju un uz to sacīja: vai es tevi pie Tā Kunga neesmu apzvērinājis un tev piekodinājis sacīdams: kurā dienā tu iziesi un iesi šur vai tur, tad zini tiešām, ka tev jāmirst? Un tu sacīji uz mani: es esmu labu vārdu dzirdējis.
So the king sent [a soldier] to summon Shimei and said to him, “I told you to solemnly promise, knowing that Yahweh [MTY] was listening, that you must not leave Jerusalem. I told you [RHQ], ‘Be sure that if you ever leave Jerusalem, you will be executed.’ And you replied [RHQ] to me, ‘What you have said is good; I will do what you have said.’
43 Kāpēc tad tu neesi turējis Tā Kunga zvērestu un to pavēli, ko es tev esmu pavēlējis?
So why did you not do what you solemnly promised to Yahweh? Why did you disobey what I commanded you?”
44 Un ķēniņš sacīja uz Šimeju: tu zini visu to ļaunu, ko tava sirds apzinās, ko tu manam tēvam Dāvidam darījis, tāpēc Tas Kungs tavam ļaunumam atkal licis nākt uz tavu galvu.
The king also said to Shimei, “You know all the evil things that you did to my father David. So Yahweh will now punish you for the evil things that you did.
45 Bet ķēniņš Salamans būs svētīts, un Dāvida goda krēsls būs pastāvīgs priekš Tā Kunga mūžīgi.
But Yahweh will bless me, and he will enable David’s descendants [MTY] to rule forever.”
46 Un ķēniņš pavēlēja Benajam, Jojadas dēlam; tas izgāja un viņu sita, un tas nomira. Tā valstība kļuva apstiprināta caur Salamana roku.
Then the king gave an order to Benaiah, and he went and killed Shimei. So Solomon was completely in control of the kingdom.
