Pirmā Ķēniņu 20
1 Un BenHadads, Sīrijas ķēniņš, sapulcināja visu savu spēku, un trīsdesmit un divi ķēniņi bija viņam līdz un zirgi un rati, un viņš nogāja un apmetās pret Samariju, un karoja pret to.
And Ben-hadad the king of Aram gathered all his host together; and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
2 Un viņš sūtīja vēstnešus pilsētā pie Ahaba, Israēla ķēniņa,
And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel, into the city,
3 Un lika tam sacīt: tā saka BenHadads: tavs sudrabs un tavs zelts būs mans, arī tavas sievas un tavi labākie bērni būs mani.
and said unto him: 'Thus saith Ben-hadad: Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.'
4 Un Israēla ķēniņš atbildēja un sacīja: pēc tava vārda, mans kungs un ķēniņ, es esmu tavs, un viss, kas man ir.
And the king of Israel answered and said: 'It is according to thy saying, my lord, O king: I am thine, and all that I have.'
5 Un tie vēstneši nāca atkal atpakaļ un sacīja: tā runā BenHadads un saka: es gan pie tevis esmu sūtījis un licis sacīt: tavu sudrabu un tavu zeltu un tavas sievas un tavus bērnus tev man būs dot,
And the messengers came again, and said: 'Thus speaketh Ben-hadad, saying: I sent indeed unto thee, saying: Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;
6 Bet rītu ap šo laiku es savus kalpus pie tevis sūtīšu, izmeklēt tavu namu un tavu kalpu namu, un viss, kas tur skaists priekš tavām acīm, to tiem būs ņemt un aiznest.
but I will send my servants unto thee tomorrow about this time, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.'
7 Tad Israēla ķēniņš saaicināja visas zemes vecajus un sacīja: ņemiet jel vērā un redziet, kā šis ļaunu meklē. Jo tas pie manis ir sūtījis pēc manām sievām un pēc maniem bērniem un pēc mana sudraba un zelta, un es tam to neesmu liedzis.
Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said: 'Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief; for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.'
8 Bet visi vecaji un visi ļaudis uz viņu sacīja: nepaklausi un neļauj to.
And all the elders and all the people said unto him: 'Hearken thou not, neither consent.'
9 Tad viņš sacīja uz BenHadada vēstnešiem: sakāt ķēniņam, manam kungam: visu, par ko tu pirmo reizi pie sava kalpa sūtījis, to es darīšu, bet šo lietu es nevaru darīt. Tad tie vēstneši nogāja un viņam atsacīja to vārdu.
Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Ben-hadad: 'Tell my lord the king: All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do; but this thing I may not do.' And the messengers departed, and brought him back word.
10 Un BenHadads sūtīja pie viņa un lika sacīt: lai man dievi šā vai tā dara, ja Samarijas pīšļi pietiks visu ļaužu saujām, kas man ir līdz.
And Ben-hadad sent unto him, and said: 'The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.'
11 Bet Israēla ķēniņš atbildēja un sacīja: atsakiet tā: kas apjozies, tas lai nelielās kā tas, kas atjozies.
And the king of Israel answered and said: 'Tell him: Let not him that girdeth on his armour boast himself as he that putteth it off.'
12 Kad nu tas šo vārdu dzirdēja, ar tiem ķēniņiem teltīs dzerot, tad viņš sacīja uz saviem kalpiem taisāties. Un tie taisījās pret to pilsētu.
And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings, in the booths, that he said unto his servants: 'Set yourselves in array.' And they set themselves in array against the city.
13 Un redzi, viens pravietis nāca pie Ahaba, Israēla ķēniņa, un sacīja: “Tā saka Tas Kungs: vai tu esi redzējis visu šo lielo pulku? Redzi, Es to šodien došu tavā rokā, lai tu atzīsti, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs.”
And, behold, a prophet came near unto Ahab king of Israel, and said: 'Thus saith the LORD: Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thy hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.'
14 Un Ahabs sacīja: “Caur ko?” Tad viņš sacīja: “Tā saka Tas Kungs: caur zemes valdnieku puišiem.” Un viņš sacīja: “Kas lai uzsāk kauju?” Tad viņš sacīja: “Tu pats.”
And Ahab said: 'By whom?' And he said: 'Thus saith the LORD: By the young men of the princes of the provinces.' Then he said: 'Who shall begin the battle?' And he answered: 'Thou.'
15 Tad viņš skaitīja tos zemes valdnieku puišus, to bija divsimt trīsdesmit un divi. Un pēc tiem viņš skaitīja visus ļaudis, visus Israēla bērnus, to bija septiņi tūkstoši.
Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two; and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
16 Un tie izgāja dienasvidū. Bet BenHadads dzēra un piedzērās teltīs ar tiem trīsdesmit un diviem ķēniņiem, kas tam bija palīgā.
And they went out at noon. But Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the booths, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.
17 Un tie zemes valdnieku puiši izgāja papriekš. Tad BenHadads izsūtīja, un tie tam teica un sacīja: vīri nāk no Samarijas.
And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben-hadad sent out, and they told him, saying: 'There are men come out from Samaria.'
18 Tad viņš sacīja: vai tie nākuši uz mieru, sagrābiet tos dzīvus, vai tie nākuši uz kauju, dzīvus tos sagrābiet!
And he said: 'Whether they are come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they are come out for war, take them alive.'
19 Kad nu šie zemes valdnieku puiši no pilsētas bija izgājuši un arī tas karaspēks, kas tiem gāja pakaļ,
So these went out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, and the army which followed them.
20 Tad tie kāva vīrs vīru. Un Sīrieši bēga un Israēls tiem dzinās pakaļ. Bet BenHadads, Sīrijas ķēniņš, izglābās uz zirga un ar jātniekiem.
And they slew every one his man; and the Arameans fled, and Israel pursued them; and Ben-hadad the king of Aram escaped on a horse with horsemen.
21 Un Israēla ķēniņš izgāja un kāva zirgus un ratus un kāva Sīriešus lielā kaušanā.
And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Arameans with a great slaughter.
22 Tad tas pravietis nāca pie Israēla ķēniņa un uz to sacīja; ej, stiprinājies: ņem vērā un lūko, ko tu dari, jo nākošā gadā Sīrijas ķēniņš atkal nāks pret tevi.
And the prophet came near to the king of Israel, and said unto him: 'Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest; for at the return of the year the king of Aram will come up against thee.'
23 Jo Sīrijas ķēniņa kalpi uz to sacīja: viņu dievi ir kalna dievi, tāpēc tie bijuši stiprāki nekā mēs. Kaut mums ar tiem būtu jākaro klajumā! Varbūt ka mēs būtu stiprāki nekā tie.
And the servants of the king of Aram said unto him: 'Their God is a God of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
24 Tāpēc dari tā: atcel tos ķēniņus, ikvienu no viņa vietas, un iecel viņu vietā virsniekus.
And do this thing: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put governors in their room:
25 Un taisi sev karaspēku, kāds tas bija, kas tev zudis, un zirgus, kā bija zirgi, un ratus, kā bija rati, un iesim ar tiem kauties klajumā; vai nebūsim stiprāki par tiem? Un tas klausīja viņu balsi un tā darīja.
and number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot; and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.' And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
26 Un otrā gadā BenHadads skaitīja Sīriešus un cēlās uz Afeku, karot pret Israēli.
And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad mustered the Arameans, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
27 Un Israēla bērni arī tapa skaitīti un izrīkoti, un gāja tiem pretī, un Israēla bērni apmetās tiem pretī, kā divi kazu pulciņi, bet zeme bija Sīriešu pilna.
And the children of Israel were mustered, and were victualled, and went against them; and the children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Arameans filled the country.
28 Un tas Dieva vīrs nāca un runāja uz Israēla ķēniņu un sacīja: “Tā saka Tas Kungs: tāpēc ka Sīrieši sacījuši: Tas Kungs ir kalnu Dievs un ne arī ieleju Dievs, tad visu šo lielo pulku Es dodu tavā rokā, lai jūs atzīstat, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs.”
And a man of God came near and spoke unto the king of Israel, and said: 'Thus saith the LORD: Because the Arameans have said: The LORD is a God of the hills, but he is not a God of the valleys; therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thy hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.'
29 Un tie palika apmetušies viens otram pretim septiņas dienas. Un septītā dienā kaušanās sākās, un Israēla bērni nokāva no Sīriešiem simts tūkstoš kājniekus vienā dienā.
And they encamped one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel slew of the Arameans a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
30 Un tie atlikušie bēga uz Afekas pilsētu, un mūris sagruva pār divdesmit un septiņtūkstošiem no šiem atlikušiem. Un BenHadads bēga un nāca pilsētā no vienas istabas otrā.
But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand men that were left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
31 Tad viņa kalpi uz to sacīja: redzi, mēs esam dzirdējuši, ka Israēla nama ķēniņi ir žēlīgi ķēniņi. Apvilksim maisus ap saviem gurniem un virves ap savām galvām, un iesim ārā pie Israēla ķēniņa; vai viņš tavai dvēselei neļaus dzīvot.
And his servants said unto him: 'Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings; let us, we pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; peradventure he will save thy life.'
32 Un tie apvilka maisus ap saviem gurniem un virves ap savām galvām, un nāca pie Israēla ķēniņa un sacīja: tavs kalps BenHadads saka: ļauj jel manai dvēselei dzīvot. Tad tas sacīja: vai viņš vēl dzīvs? Viņš ir mans brālis.
So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said: 'Thy servant Ben-hadad saith: I pray thee, let me live.' And he said: 'Is he yet alive? he is my brother.'
33 Un tie vīri saprata šo vārdu sev par labu un steigšus to lika sev apstiprināt no viņa un sacīja: tad BenHadads tavs brālis? Un viņš sacīja: ejat un atvediet to šurp. Tad BenHadads iznāca pie viņa, un viņš tam lika kāpt ratos.
Now the men took it for a sign, and hastened to catch it from him; and they said: 'Thy brother Ben-hadad.' Then he said: 'Go ye, bring him.' Then Ben-hadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into his chariot.
34 Un BenHadads uz to sacīja: tās pilsētas, ko mans tēvs tavam tēvam paņēmis, es gribu atdot, un dari sev ielas Damaskā, itin kā mans tēvs darījis Samarijā. (Un Ahabs sacīja: ) ar šo derību es tevi atlaidīšu. Tā viņš ar to derēja derību un to atlaida.
And Ben-hadad said unto him: 'The cities which my father took from thy father I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria.' 'And I, said Ahab, will let thee go with this covenant.' So he made a covenant with him, and let him go.
35 Un viens vīrs no praviešu bērniem sacīja uz otru caur Tā Kunga vārdu: sit jel mani. Bet tas vīrs liedzās to sist.
And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his fellow by the word of the LORD: 'Smite me, I pray thee.' And the man refused to smite him.
36 Un viņš uz šo sacīja: tāpēc ka tu Tā Kunga balsi neesi klausījis, redzi, tad tevi lauva sitīs, kad tu no manis aiziesi. Kad nu tas no viņa aizgāja, lauva to sastapa un saplēsa.
Then said he unto him: 'Because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee.' And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him; and slew him.
37 Un viņš atrada citu vīru un sacīja: sit jel mani. Un tas vīrs to sita, un to sizdams ievainoja.
Then he found another man, and said: 'Smite me, I pray thee.' And the man smote him, smiting and wounding him.
38 Tad tas pravietis gāja un nostājās ķēniņam ceļā un aptina savu vaigu ar drānu.
So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes.
39 Kad nu ķēniņš gāja garām, tad viņš sauca uz ķēniņu un sacīja: tavs kalps bija izgājis kaujā, un redzi, viens vīrs nāca malā un atveda pie manis vienu vīru un sacīja: apsargi šo vīru; ja tas kaut kā nozustu, tad tava dvēsele būs viņa dvēseles vietā, vai tev būs jāmaksā viens talents sudraba.
And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king; and he said: 'Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said: Keep this man; if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
40 Kad nu tavam kalpam šur tur kas bija jādara, tad viņš nozuda. Un Israēla ķēniņš sacīja: tāds tavs spriedums, kā pats spriedis.
And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone.' And the king of Israel said unto him: 'So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it.'
41 Tad viņš steigšus noņēma to drānu no sava vaiga, un Israēla ķēniņš to pazina, ka tas bija viens no tiem praviešiem.
And he hastened, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.
42 Un viņš uz to sacīja: “Tā saka Tas Kungs: “Tāpēc ka tu šo vīru, ko es liku izdeldēt, esi izlaidis no rokas, tad tava dvēsele būs viņa dvēseles vietā, un tavi ļaudis viņa ļaužu vietā.””
And he said unto him: 'Thus saith the LORD: Because thou hast let go out of thy hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.'
43 Un Israēla ķēniņš nogāja saīdzis un dusmīgs savā namā un aizgāja uz Samariju.
And the king of Israel went to his house sullen and displeased, and came to Samaria.
