Pirmā Ķēniņu 22
1 Un trīs gadus tiem bija miers un kara nebija starp Sīriešiem un Israēli.
For almost three years there was no war between Syria and Israel.
2 Bet trešā gadā Jehošafats, Jūda ķēniņš, nogāja pie Israēla ķēniņa.
Then King Jehoshaphat, who ruled Judah, went to [visit] King Ahab, who ruled Israel.
3 Un Israēla ķēniņš sacīja uz saviem kalpiem: vai jūs nezināt, ka Rāmota Gileādā pieder mums, un mēs esam klusu un viņu neņemam no Sīriešu ķēniņa rokas?
[While they were talking, ] Ahab said to his officials, “Do you realize that the Syrians are still occupying our city of Ramoth in [the] Gilead [region]? And we are doing nothing to retake that city!”
4 Un viņš sacīja uz Jehošafatu: vai tu ar mani gribi iet karā pret Rāmotu Gileādā? Un Jehošafats sacīja uz Israēla ķēniņu: es būšu kā tu, un mani ļaudis kā tavi ļaudis, un mani zirgi kā tavi zirgi.
Then he turned to Jehoshaphat and asked, “Will your [army] join my [army] to fight against the people of Ramoth [and retake that city]?” Jehoshaphat replied, “[Certainly] I [will do whatever] you [want], and you may command my troops. You may take my horses into battle, also.”
5 Un Jehošafats sacīja uz Israēla ķēniņu: vaicā jel šodien Tā Kunga vārdu.
Then he added, “But we should ask Yahweh first, to find out what he wants us to do.”
6 Un Israēla ķēniņš sapulcināja tos praviešus, četrsimt vīrus, un sacīja uz tiem: vai man būs iet karā uz Rāmotu Gileādā, jeb vai man no tam būs atstāties? Un tie sacīja: celies, jo Tas Kungs viņu dos ķēniņa rokā.
So Ahab summoned about 400 of his prophets together, and he asked them, “Should my [army] go to fight the people in Ramoth and retake that city, or not?” They answered, “Yes, go [and attack them], because God will enable your [army] to defeat them.”
7 Bet Jehošafats sacīja: vai še nav vēl kāds no Tā Kunga praviešiem, ka mēs to varētu vaicāt?
But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of Yahweh here whom we can ask?”
8 Un Israēla ķēniņš sacīja uz Jehošafatu: vēl ir gan viens vīrs, caur ko To Kungu var vaicāt, bet es viņu ienīstu, jo tas man nesludina labu, bet ļaunu vien, Miha, Jemlas dēls. Un Jehošafats sacīja: lai ķēniņš tā nerunā.
The King of Israel replied, “There is one man we can talk to. We can ask him if he can find out what Yahweh wants. His name is Micaiah; he is the son of Imlah. But I hate him, because when he (prophesies/tells what God says to him) he never says [that] anything good [will happen] to me. He always predicts [that] bad things [will happen to me].” Jehoshaphat replied, “King Ahab, you should not say that!”
9 Tad Israēla ķēniņš aicināja vienu sulaini un sacīja: atved drīz Mihu, Jemlas dēlu.
So the king of Israel told one of his officers to summon Micaiah immediately.
10 Un Israēla ķēniņš un Jehošafats, Jūda ķēniņš, sēdēja ikkatrs savā krēslā savās drēbēs ģērbušies tai pagalmā, kur ieiet pa Samarijas vārtiem, un visi pravieši sludināja viņu priekšā.
The king of Israel and the king of Judah were wearing their (royal robes/robes that showed that they were kings). They were sitting on thrones at the place where people threshed grain, near the gate of Samaria [city]. All of Ahab’s prophets were standing in front of the kings, (prophesying/predicting what was going to happen).
11 Un Cedeķija, Kenaānas dēls, taisīja sev dzelzs ragus un sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs: ar šiem tu badīsi Sīriešus, kamēr tos izdeldēsi.
One of them, whose name was Zedekiah, the son of Kenaanah, had made from iron [something that resembled] horns of a bull. Then he proclaimed [to Ahab], “This is what Yahweh says: ‘With horns like these your [army] will keep attacking the Syrians [like a bull attacks another animal] [MET], until you completely destroy them!’”
12 Un visi pravieši sludināja tā sacīdami: celies pret Rāmotu Gileādā, jums būs laba laime, jo Tas Kungs viņu dos ķēniņa rokā.
All the [other] prophets [of Ahab] agreed. They said, “Yes! If you go up to attack Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region], you will be successful, because Yahweh will enable you to defeat them!”
13 Un tas vēstnesis, kas bija gājis pēc Miha, uz to runāja un sacīja: redzi jel, tie pravieši runā vienā mutē labu ķēniņam, lai jel tavs vārds tāpat ir kā viņu vārds, un runā labu.
Meanwhile, the messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, “Listen to me! All the other prophets are predicting that the king’s army will defeat the Syrians. So be sure that you agree with them and say (what will be favorable/that the king’s army will be successful).”
14 Bet Miha sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvs, ko Tas Kungs uz mani sacīs, to es runāšu.
But Micaiah replied, “As surely as Yahweh lives, I will tell him only what Yahweh tells me to say.”
15 Un kad viņš nāca ķēniņa priekšā, tad ķēniņš uz viņu sacīja: Miha, vai mums būs iet karā pret Rāmotu Gileādā, jeb vai mums no tam būs atstāties? Un tas uz viņu sacīja: celies, tev izdosies, jo Tas Kungs viņu dos ķēniņa rokā.
When Micaiah came to Ahab, Ahab asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to fight against [the people of] Ramoth, or not?” Micaiah replied, “Sure, go! Yahweh will enable your army to defeat them!”
16 Tad ķēniņš uz viņu sacīja: cik reiz man tev būs piekodināt, cita nekā man nesacīt kā taisnību Tā Kunga Vārdā?
But King Ahab [realized that Micaiah was (lying/being sarcastic), so he] said to Micaiah, “I have told you [RHQ] many times that you must always tell only the truth when you say what Yahweh [has revealed to you]!”
17 Un viņš sacīja: es redzēju visu Israēli izklīdinātu pa kalniem, itin kā avis, kam gana nav. Un Tas Kungs sacīja: šiem kunga nav, lai ikviens ar mieru iet savā namā.
So Micaiah said to him, “[The truth is that] in a vision I saw all the troops of Israel scattered on the mountains. They seemed to be like sheep that did not have a shepherd. And Yahweh said, ‘Their master has been killed. So tell them all to go home peacefully.’”
18 Tad Israēla ķēniņš sacīja uz Jehošafatu: vai es tev neesmu sacījis, ka viņš par mani labu nesludina, bet ļaunu?
Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “I told you [RHQ] that he never predicts [that] anything good [will happen to me]! He [always] predicts [that] bad things [will happen to me].”
19 Un (Miha) sacīja: “Tādēļ klausi Tā Kunga vārdu: es redzēju To Kungu sēžam uz Sava goda krēsla un visu debess spēku ap Viņu stāvam pa labai un pa kreisai rokai.
But Micaiah continued, saying, “Listen to what Yahweh showed to me! [In a vision] I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, with all the armies of heaven surrounding him, on his right side and on his left side.
20 Un Tas Kungs sacīja: “Kurš pierunās Ahabu, lai tas ceļas un krīt Rāmotā Gileādā?” Un viens runāja šā, otrs tā.
And Yahweh said, ‘Who can persuade Ahab to go to fight against the people of Ramoth, in order that he may be killed there?’ Some suggested one thing, and others suggested something else.
21 Tad viens gars izgāja un nostājās Tā Kunga priekšā un sacīja: “Es viņu pierunāšu.” Tad Tas Kungs uz to sacīja: “Caur ko?”
Finally one [evil] spirit came to Yahweh and said, ‘I can do it!’
22 Un viņš sacīja: “Es iziešu un būšu melu gars visu viņa praviešu mutē.” Un Viņš sacīja: “Tu viņu pierunāsi un arī pārspēsi; ej un dari tā.”
Yahweh asked him, ‘How will you do it?’ The spirit replied, ‘I will go and inspire all of Ahab’s prophets to tell lies.’ Yahweh said, ‘You will be successful; go and do it!’
23 Un nu redzi, Tas Kungs melu garu devis visu šo tavu praviešu mutē, un Tas Kungs par tevi ļaunu runājis.”
So now [I tell you that] Yahweh has caused all of your prophets to lie to you. Yahweh has decided that something terrible will happen to you.”
24 Tad Cedeķija, Kenaānas dēls, piegāja un deva Miham pliķi un sacīja: kā tad Tā Kunga Gars būtu no manis atstājies, ar tevi runāt?
Then Zedekiah walked over to Micaiah and slapped him on his face. He said, “Do you think that Yahweh’s Spirit left me in order to speak to you?” [RHQ]
25 Un Miha sacīja: redzi, to tu redzēsi tai dienā, kad tu no vienas istabas otrā iesi paslēpties.
Micaiah replied, “You will find out for yourself [which of us Yahweh’s Spirit has truly spoken to] on the day when you go into a room of some house to hide [from the Syrian troops]!”
26 Un Israēla ķēniņš sacīja: ņem Mihu un ved to atpakaļ pie Amona, pilsētas virsnieka, un pie Joasa, ķēniņa dēla,
King Ahab commanded [his soldiers], “Seize Micaiah and take him to Amon, the governor of this city, and to my son Joash.
27 Un saki: tā saka ķēniņš: liekat to cietumā un ēdinājiet to ar bēdu maizi un ar bēdu ūdeni, kamēr es atkal laimīgs pārnākšu.
Tell them that I have commanded that they should put this man in prison and give him only bread and water. Do not give him anything else to eat until I return safely from the battle!”
28 Un Miha sacīja: ja tu atkal laimīgs pārnāksi, tad Tas Kungs caur mani nav runājis. Un viņš sacīja: klausāties, visi ļaudis!
Micaiah replied, “If you return safely, [it will be clear that] it was not Yahweh who told me what to say to you!” Then he said [to all those who were standing there], “Do not forget what I have said [to King Ahab]!”
29 Tā Israēla ķēniņš un Jehošafats, Jūda ķēniņš, cēlās pret Rāmotu Gileādā.
So the King of Israel and the King of Judah [led their armies] to Ramoth, in [the] Gilead [region].
30 Un Israēla ķēniņš sacīja uz Jehošafatu: es pārģērbies iešu kaujā, bet tu ģērbies savās drēbēs. Un Israēla ķēniņš pārģērbās un gāja kaujā.
King Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “I will put on different clothes, [in order that no one will recognize that I am the king]. But you should wear your (royal robe/robe that shows that you are a king).” So Ahab disguised himself, and they both went into the battle.
31 Un Sīriešu ķēniņš saviem ratu virsniekiem (to bija trīsdesmit un divi) bija pavēlējis un sacījis: nelaužaties ne uz mazu ne uz lielu, bet uz Israēla ķēniņu vien.
The King of Syria told this to his thirty-two men who were driving the chariots: “Attack only the king of Israel!”
32 Kad nu tie ratu virsnieki Jehošafatu redzēja, tad tie sacīja: tiešām tas ir Israēla ķēniņš, un tie griezās un lauzās uz viņu, bet Jehošafats brēca.
So when the men who were driving the Syrian chariots saw Jehoshaphat [wearing (his royal robes/clothes that showed he was the king)], they pursued him. They shouted, “There is the king of Israel!” But when Jehoshaphat cried out,
33 Kad nu tie ratu virsnieki redzēja, ka šis nebija Israēla ķēniņš, tad tie no viņa griezās nost.
they realized that he was not the king of Israel. So they stopped pursuing him.
34 Un viens vīrs uzvilka savu stopu no nejauši un iešāva Israēla ķēniņam starp sprādzēm un krūšu bruņām. Tad viņš sacīja uz savu ratu vadītāju: griez savu roku un izved mani no kaujas, jo es esmu ievainots.
But one [Syrian] soldier shot an arrow at Ahab, without knowing that it was Ahab. The arrow struck Ahab between the places where the parts of his armor joined together. Ahab told the driver of his chariot, “Turn the chariot around and take me out of here! I have been severely wounded!”
35 Un kaušanās palika karsta tai dienā, un ķēniņš stāvēja savos ratos Sīriešiem pretī un nomira vakarā; un asinis tecēja no vainas uz ratu grīdu.
The battle continued all the day. Ahab was sitting propped up in his chariot, facing the Syrian troops. The blood from his wound ran down to the floor of the chariot. And late in the afternoon he died.
36 Tad pa visu karapulku saulei noejot sauca un sacīja: ikviens uz savu pilsētu, ikviens uz savu zemi!
Just as the sun was going down, someone among the Israeli troops shouted, “[The battle is ended!] Everyone should return home!”
37 Tā ķēniņš nomira un tapa novests uz Samariju, un ķēniņu apraka Samarijā.
So king Ahab died, and they took his body [in the chariot] to Samaria [city] and buried his body there.
38 Kad nu tos ratus mazgāja Samarijas dīķī, tad maukām mazgājoties suņi laizīja viņa asinis pēc Tā Kunga vārda, ko viņš bija runājis.
They washed his chariot alongside the pool in Samaria, a pool where the prostitutes bathed. And dogs [came and] licked the king’s blood, just like Yahweh had predicted would happen.
39 Kas nu vēl par Ahabu stāstāms, un viss, ko viņš darījis, un tas ziloņkaulu nams, ko viņš taisījis, un visas pilsētas, ko viņš cēlis, tas viss rakstīts Israēla ķēniņu laiku grāmatā.
The account/record of the other things that happened while Ahab was ruling, and about the palace decorated with much ivory [that they built for him], and the cities that were built for him, was written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
40 Tā Ahabs aizmiga saviem tēviem pakaļ, un Ahazija, viņa dēls, palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
When Ahab died, his body was buried where his ancestors were buried. Then his son Ahaziah became king.
41 Un Jehošafats, Asas dēls, palika par ķēniņu pār Jūdu Ahaba, Israēla ķēniņa, ceturtā gadā.
Before King Ahab died, when he had been ruling in Israel for four years, Asa’s son Jehoshaphat started to rule in Judah.
42 Un Jehošafats bija trīsdesmit un piecus gadus vecs, kad viņš palika par ķēniņu un valdīja divdesmit un piecus gadus Jeruzālemē. Un viņa mātei bija vārds Azuba, Šilkus meita.
Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for twenty-five years. His mother was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
43 Un viņš staigāja visos sava tēva Asas ceļos, viņš no tiem neatstājās un darīja, kas Tam Kungam patika. Tik tie kalnu altāri netapa nopostīti, un tie ļaudis upurēja un kvēpināja vēl pa tiem kalniem.
Jehoshaphat was a good king, just like his father Asa had been. He did things that pleased Yahweh. But while he was king, he did not remove all the pagan altars [that the people had built] on the hilltops. So the people continued to offer sacrifices [to idols] on those altars and burned incense there.
44 Un Jehošafatam bija miers ar Israēla ķēniņu.
Jehoshaphat also made [a] peace [agreement] with the king of Israel.
45 Un kas vēl stāstāms par Jehošafatu un viņa spēks, ko viņš parādījis, un kā viņš karojis, tas viss ir rakstīts Jūda ķēniņu laiku grāmatā,
All the other things that happened while Jehoshaphat was ruling, and the great things that he did and the victories his [troops] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
46 Viņš arī izdzina no zemes tos atlikušos mauciniekus, kas Asas, viņa tēva, laikā bija atlikuši.
Jehoshaphat’s father Asa [had tried to expel] the male prostitutes that stayed at the pagan shrines, but some of them were still there. Jehoshaphat got rid of them.
47 To brīdi neviena ķēniņa nebija Edomā, bet ķēniņa vietnieks valdīja.
At that time, there was no king in Edom; a ruler who had been appointed by Jehoshaphat ruled there.
48 Un Jehošafats lika taisīt lielus kuģus, braukt uz Ofiru pēc zelta. Bet tie nenogāja, jo EceonĢeberā tie kuģi tapa sadragāti.
Jehoshaphat [ordered some Israeli men to] build a fleet/group of ships to sail [south] to [the] Ophir [region] to get gold. But they were wrecked at Ezion-Geber/Elath, so the ships never sailed.
49 Tad Ahazija, Ahaba dēls, sacīja uz Jehošafatu: lai mani kalpi iet ar taviem kalpiem līdzi uz laivām. Bet Jehošafats negribēja.
Before the ships were wrecked, Ahab’s son Ahaziah suggested to Jehoshaphat, “Allow my sailors to go with your sailors,” but Jehoshaphat refused.
50 Un Jehošafats aizmiga saviem tēviem pakaļ un tapa aprakts pie saviem tēviem Dāvida pilsētā. Un viņa dēls Jehorams palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
When Jehoshaphat died, his [body] was buried where his ancestors were buried in [Jerusalem, ] the city where King David [had ruled]. Then Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram became king.
51 Un Ahazija, Ahaba dēls, palika par ķēniņu pār Israēli Samarijā Jehošafata, Jūda ķēniņa, septiņpadsmitā gadā, un valdīja divus gadus pār Israēli.
Before King Jehoshaphat died, when he had been ruling in Judah for 17 years, Ahab’s son Ahaziah began to rule in Israel. Ahaziah ruled in Samaria for two years.
52 Un viņš darīja, kas Tam Kungam nepatika, un staigāja sava tēva ceļā un savas mātes ceļā un Jerobeama, Nebata dēla, ceļā, kas Israēli paveda uz grēkiem.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, doing the [evil] things that his father and mother had done and the evil things that Jeroboam had done—the king who had led all the Israeli people to sin [by worshiping idols].
53 Un viņš kalpoja Baālam un metās zemē priekš tā un apkaitināja To Kungu, Israēla Dievu, tā kā viņa tēvs bija darījis.
Ahaziah bowed in front of Baal’s idol and worshiped it. That caused Yahweh, the God who was the true God of the Israeli people, to become very angry, just as Ahaziah’s father had caused Yahweh to become angry.
