Pirmā Ķēniņu 8
1 Tad ķēniņš Salamans sapulcināja pie sevis Israēla vecajus un visus cilšu priekšniekus un Israēla bērnu tēvu namu virsniekus Jeruzālemē pie ķēniņa Salamana, pārvest Tā Kunga derības šķirstu no Dāvida pilsētas, - šī ir Ciāna.
Solomon then summoned to Jerusalem all the elders of Israel, all the leaders of the tribes, and the leaders of the clans. He wanted them to join in bringing Yahweh’s Sacred Chest from Zion [Hill to the temple], where it was in the part of the city called ‘The City of David’.
2 Un visi Israēla vīri sapulcējās pie ķēniņa Salamana uz svētkiem Etanim mēnesī, šis ir tas septītais mēnesis.
So all the Israeli leaders came to King Solomon during the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters, in October.
3 Un kad visi Israēla vecaji sanāca, tad priesteri ņēma to šķirstu
When they had all arrived, the priests lifted up the Sacred Chest
4 Un nesa Tā Kunga šķirstu un saiešanas telti ar visiem svētiem rīkiem, kas bija teltī, tos priesteri un Leviti nesa.
and brought it to the temple. The descendants of Levi [who assisted the priests] helped them to carry to the temple the Sacred Tent and all the sacred things that had been in the tent.
5 Un ķēniņš Salamans un visa Israēla draudze, kas pie viņa bija sapulcējusies, gāja viņam līdz šķirsta priekšā, un upurēja avis un vēršus, neizskaitāmu pulku un neizzināmu skaitu.
Then King Solomon and many of the Israeli people who had gathered in front of Yahweh’s Sacred Chest sacrificed a huge amount of sheep and oxen. No one was able to count the sacrifices [because there were so many].
6 Tā priesteri nesa Tā Kunga derības šķirstu savā vietā, Dieva nama dziļumā, visusvētajā vietā, apakš ķerubu spārniem.
The the priests then brought the Sacred Chest into the Very Holy Place in the temple, and they placed it under the wings of the [statues of the] winged creatures.
7 Jo tie ķerubi izplēta savus spārnus pār šķirsta vietu, un tie ķerubi apklāja šķirstu un viņa nesamās kārtis no augšienes.
The wings of those statues spread out over the Sacred Chest and over the poles by which it was carried.
8 Un tās nesamās kārtis bija tik garas, ka kāršu gali bija redzami no tās svētās vietas tās visusvētās vietas priekšā, bet ārpusē tās nebija redzamas, un tās tur ir līdz šai dienai.
The poles were so long that the ends of the poles could be seen [by people who were standing] at the entrance to the Most Holy Place, but they could not be seen [by people standing] outside the temple. Those poles are still there.
9 Tai šķirstā nebija nekā, kā vien tie abi akmens galdiņi, ko Mozus Horebā bija ielicis, kad Tas Kungs derību derēja ar Israēla bērniem, kad tie izgāja no Ēģiptes zemes.
The only things that were in the Sacred Chest were the two stone tablets that Moses had put there at Sinai [Mountain], where Yahweh made an agreement with the people after they left Egypt.
10 Kad nu tie priesteri izgāja no tās svētās vietas, tad mākonis piepildīja Tā Kunga namu;
When the priests came out of the temple, [suddenly] it was filled with a cloud.
11 Un tie priesteri nevarēja stāvēt un kalpot tā mākoņa dēļ. Jo Tā Kunga godība bija piepildījusi Tā Kunga namu.
It was the glory/radiance of Yahweh that filled the temple, with the result that the priests were not able to continue their work.
12 Tad Salamans sacīja: Tas Kungs ir sacījis, ka viņš tumsā gribot dzīvot.
Then Solomon prayed this: “Yahweh, you have placed the sun in the sky, but you have decided that you would live in very dark [clouds].
13 Celt esmu cēlis namu tev par dzīvokli, mājokli, tev mājot mūžīgi.
I have built for you a magnificent temple, a place for you to live in forever.”
14 Tad ķēniņš atgrieza savu vaigu un svētīja visu Israēla draudzi, un visa Israēla draudze stāvēja, un viņš sacīja:
Then, while all the people stood there, the king turned around and faced them, and he [asked God to] bless them.
15 Slavēts lai ir Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, kas ar Savu muti runājis uz manu tēvu Dāvidu un ar Savu roku to piepildījis, ko Viņš sacījis:
He said, “Praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis belong! By his own power he has done what he promised to give to my father David. What he promised was this:
16 No tās dienas, kad Es savus Israēla ļaudis esmu izvedis no Ēģiptes, Es nevienu pilsētu neesmu izredzējis starp visām Israēla ciltīm, taisīt namu, lai Mans vārds tur būtu. Bet Dāvidu Es esmu izredzējis, ka tas būtu pār Maniem Israēla ļaudīm.
‘From the time that I brought my people out of Egypt, I have never chosen any city in Israel in which a temple should be built for my people to worship me there. But I chose you, David, to rule my people.”
17 Un manam tēvam Dāvidam gan bija prātā, taisīt namu Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, vārdam.
[Then Solomon said], “My father David wanted to build a temple in order that we Israeli people could worship Yahweh our God there.
18 Bet Tas Kungs sacīja uz manu tēvu Dāvidu: ka tu savā sirdī esi apņēmies, taisīt namu Manam vārdam, to tu gan esi labi darījis, ka tas tavā sirdī.
But Yahweh said to him, ‘You have wanted to build a temple for me, and what you wanted to do was good.
19 Bet tev to namu nebūs taisīt, bet tavam dēlam, kas nāks no taviem gurniem, tas uztaisīs namu Manam vārdam.
However, you are not the one [who I want] to build it. It is one of your sons, who [I want to] build a temple for me.’
20 Un Tas Kungs savu vārdu ir apstiprinājis, ko Viņš runājis. Jo es esmu stājies sava tēva Dāvida vietā, un sēžu uz Israēla goda krēsla, itin kā Tas Kungs runājis, un es esmu uztaisījis namu Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, vārdam.
And now Yahweh has done what he promised to do. I have become the king of Israel to succeed my father, and I am ruling my people, like Yahweh promised. I have [arranged for] this temple [to be] built for us Israelis to worship Yahweh, the God, to whom we Israelis belong.
21 Un tur esmu taisījis vietu tam šķirstam, kur Tā Kunga derība, ko Viņš derējis ar mūsu tēviem, kad Viņš tos izveda no Ēģiptes zemes.
I have also provided a place [in the temple] for the Sacred Chest in which are the two stone tablets [on which are engraved the Ten Commandments of] the agreement that Yahweh made with our ancestors when he brought them out of Egypt.”
22 Un Salamans stājās Tā Kunga altāra priekšā, visai Israēla draudzei pretī, un izplēta savas rokas pret debesīm un sacīja:
Then Solomon stood in front of the altar which was facing the Israeli people who had gathered there. He spread out his arms toward heaven,
23 Kungs, Israēla Dievs, neviena tāda Dieva nav kā Tu, ne augšā debesīs, nedz apakšā virs zemes; derību un žēlastību Tu turi Saviem kalpiem, kas Tavā priekšā staigā no visas savas sirds.
and he prayed, “Yahweh, the God whom we Israeli people [belong to/worship], there is no god like you up in heaven or down here on the earth. You solemnly promised that you would faithfully love us. And that is what you have done for us who earnestly do what you want us to do.
24 Tu Savam kalpam, manam tēvam Dāvidam, esi turējis, ko tam esi runājis. Ar Savu muti Tu esi runājis un ar Savu roku to piepildījis, tā kā tas šodien ir.
You have done the things that you promised my father David, who served you [very well], that you would do. Truly, you promised to do these things for him, and today we see that by your power you have done them.
25 Un nu Kungs, Israēla Dievs, turi Savam kalpam, manam tēvam Dāvidam, arī to, ko Tu tam vēl esi runājis sacīdams: tev netrūks vīra Manā priekšā, kas sēdēs uz Israēla goda krēsla, ja tikai tavi dēli sargās savu ceļu, staigādami Manā priekša, itin kā tu esi staigājis Manā priekšā.
So now, Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [belong to/worship], please do the things that you promised my father that you would do. You told him that there would always be some of his descendants who would rule Israel, if they would conduct their lives as he did.
26 Nu tad, Israēla Dievs, lai jel Tavs vārds tiešām notiek, ko Tu esi runājis Savam kalpam, manam tēvam Dāvidam!
So now, God of us Israeli people, cause what you promised to do for my father David, who served you [well], to happen.
27 Vai tad patiesi Tas Kungs dzīvotu virs zemes? Redzi, debesis un visu debesu debesis Tevi nevar saņemt, kā tad nu vēl šis nams, ko es esmu taisījis.
But God, you cannot really live on the earth. There is surely not enough space for you in the sky, or even in the heaven. So there is surely not enough space for you to live in this temple that my workers have built.
28 Bet griezies pie Sava kalpa lūgšanām un pie viņa piesaukšanām, Kungs, mans Dievs, un klausi to saukšanu un lūgšanu, ko Tavs kalps šodien lūdz priekš Tava vaiga.
But Yahweh, my God, please listen to me while I am praying to you this day,
29 Lai Tavas acis stāv atvērtas dienām naktīm pār šo namu, pār šo vietu, par ko Tu esi sacījis: Mans vārds lai tur ir; ka Tu klausi to lūgšanu, ko Tavs kalps lūgs šinī vietā.
Please keep protecting this temple night and day. This is the place about which you have said, ‘I will always be there.’ I request that you listen to me whenever I turn toward this temple and pray.
30 Klausi tad Sava kalpa un Savu Israēla ļaužu sirds lūgšanu, ko tie lūgs šinī vietā, un klausi, kur Tu mīti debesīs, ak klausi un piedod!
I request that when I pray to you and your people pray to you while they turn toward this place, that in your home in heaven you will hear us and forgive us [for the sins that we have committed].
31 Ja kāds būs apgrēkojies pret savu tuvāko un viņam liks zvērēt un nodievoties, un šis nāks un zvērēs priekš Tava altāra šinī namā,
If someone is accused of doing something wrong to another person, and they bring him to your altar outside this holy temple, and if he says, ‘I did not do that; may God punish me if I am not telling the truth,’
32 Tad klausi Tu debesīs un dari un tiesā Savus kalpus, netaisno notiesādams un atmaksādams viņa ceļu uz viņa galvu, un taisno taisnodams, dodams viņam pēc viņa taisnības.
then you listen from heaven, and decide who is telling the truth. Then punish the person who is guilty as he deserves to be punished, and declare that the other person is innocent.
33 Kad Tavi Israēla ļaudis taps kauti savu ienaidnieku priekšā, tāpēc ka tie pret Tevi būs grēkojuši, un kad tie pie Tevis atgriezīsies un dos godu Tavam vārdam un Tevi pielūgs un no sirds piesauks šinī namā,
And when your Israeli people are defeated by their enemies [in a battle] because they have sinned against you, [and if they are forced to go to some distant country, ] if they turn away from their sinful behavior and turn toward this temple and admit that you [have justly punished them], and if they plead [that you will forgive them],
34 Tad klausi Tu debesīs un piedod Savu Israēla ļaužu grēkus un ved tos atkal tai zemē, ko Tu esi devis viņu tēviem.
listen to them from heaven, and forgive your Israeli people for the sins that they [have committed], and bring them back to this land that you gave to our ancestors.
35 Kad debess būs aizslēgta, ka lietus nelīst, tāpēc ka tie pret Tevi grēkojuši, un kad tie šinī vietā lūgs un dos godu Tavam vārdam un atgriezīsies no saviem grēkiem, kad Tu tos pazemojis,
And when you do not allow any rain to fall on the land because your people have sinned against you, if they turn toward this temple and admit that you [have justly punished them], if they turn away from their sinful behavior and [humbly] pray to you,
36 Tad klausi Tu debesīs un piedod Savu kalpu un Savu Israēla ļaužu grēkus, ka Tu tiem parādi to labo ceļu, kur tiem jāstaigā, un dod lietu tai zemē, ko Tu devis Saviem ļaudīm par mantību.
listen to them from heaven, and forgive your Israeli people for the sins [that they have committed]. Teach them the right way to conduct their lives. Then send rain on this land that you have given to your people to belong to them [permanently].
37 Kad zemei būs bads, kad būs mēris, bula laiks, rūsa, siseņi, kukaiņi, kad viņu ienaidnieks zemē ielauzīsies pret viņu vārtiem, vai būs kāda cita mocība vai sērga,
And when the people of this land experience famines, or if there is a plague/illness that causes many people to become sick, or if [their crops are destroyed by] very hot winds or [by] mildew or [by] locusts or grasshoppers, or when their enemies surround any of their cities [in order to attack them], if any of those bad things happen to them,
38 Visas lūgšanas, visas piesaukšanas, lai lūgtu kas lūgdams no visiem Taviem Israēla ļaudīm, kad tie atzīs savas sirds bēdas un izplētīs savas rokas šinī namā,
when your Israeli people earnestly plead with you knowing that they are suffering because they [have sinned], and if they stretch out their arms toward this temple and pray,
39 Tad klausi Tu debesīs, Savā mājoklī, kur Tu mīti, un piedod un dari un dod ikvienam pēc visiem viņa ceļiem, itin kā Tu pazīsti viņa sirdi, jo Tu vien pazīsti visu cilvēka bērnu sirdis; -
listen to them from your home in heaven, and forgive them, and help them. You are the only one who knows what people are thinking, so act toward everyone as they deserve,
40 Lai tie Tevi bīstas visu savu mūžu, kamēr tie dzīvos tai zemē, ko Tu esi devis mūsu tēviem.
in order that your people may then have an awesome respect for you, all the years that they live in this land that you gave to our ancestors.
41 Kad arī kāds svešinieks būs, kas nav no taviem Israēla ļaudīm, bet atnācis no tālas zemes Tava vārda dēļ,
There will be some foreigners who do not belong to your Israeli people who have come here from countries far away because they have heard that you are very great and that you perform great miracles. If they come here to this temple to worship you and pray,
42 (Jo tie dzirdēs par Tavu lielo vārdu un par Tavu stipro roku un par Tavu izstiepto elkoni, ) un kad tas nāks un pielūgs šinī namā,
43 Tad klausi Tu debesīs, Savā mājoklī, kur Tu mīti, un dari visu, par ko tas svešais Tevi piesauks, lai visas tautas virs zemes atzīst Tavu vārdu un Tevi bīstas, kā Tavi Israēla ļaudis, un lai tie atzīst, ka Tavs vārds ir saukts pār šo namu, ko es esmu uztaisījis.
in your home in heaven, listen to their prayers, and do for them what they request you to do. Do that so that all the people-groups in the world will know about you and revere you, like we your Israeli people do. And then they will know that this temple that I have [caused to be] built to honor you, is where you [should be worshiped].
44 Kad Tavi ļaudis ies karā pret saviem ienaidniekiem tai ceļā, kur Tu tos sūtīsi, un pielūgs To Kungu, griezušies uz šo pilsētu, ko Tu esi izredzējis, un uz šo namu, ko es tavam vārdam esmu uztaisījis,
And if you send your people to go to fight against their enemies, if they pray to you, wherever they are, if they turn toward this city that you have chosen and toward this temple that I have caused to be built for you,
45 Tad klausi Tu debesīs viņu lūgšanas un viņu sirds saukšanas un nes viņiem tiesu.
listen in heaven to their prayers; listen to what they plead for you to do, and assist them.
46 Kad tie pret Tevi apgrēkosies, (jo neviena cilvēka nav, kas negrēkotu) un Tu par tiem dusmosies, un tos nodosi ienaidniekiem, ka viņu uzvarētāji tos cietumā noved ienaidnieku zemē, vai tālu, vai tuvu,
[It is true that] everyone sins. So, if your people sin against you, and you become angry with them, you may allow their enemies to defeat them and capture them and take them away to their enemies’ country, even to countries that are far away.
47 Un kad tie to atkal ņems pie sirds tai zemē, kur tie cietumā aizvesti, un atgriezīsies un Tevi piesauks sava cietuma zemē sacīdami: mēs esam grēkojuši un ļaunu darījuši, mēs esam bezdievīgi bijuši;
If that happens, while they are in those countries to which they were forced to go, if they sincerely repent and plead with you there saying ‘We have sinned and have done things that are very wicked,’
48 Un kad tie pie Tevis atgriezīsies no visas savas sirds un no visas savas dvēseles savu ienaidnieku zemē, kas tos aizveduši cietumā, un kad tie Tevi pielūgs, griezušies uz savu zemi, ko Tu devis viņu tēviem, uz to pilsētu, ko Tu izredzējis, un uz to namu, ko es tavam vārdam uztaisījis,
if they very sincerely repent, and turn toward this land that you gave to our ancestors, and toward this city that you have chosen [to be the place where we should worship you], and toward this temple that I have [caused to be] built for you, and if they pray,
49 Tad klausi Tu debesīs, Savā mājoklī, kur Tu mīti, viņu lūgšanu un viņu sirds saukšanu un nes viņiem tiesu,
then from your home in heaven listen to them while they plead [for your help], and assist them.
50 Un piedod Saviem ļaudīm, ko tie pret Tevi grēkojuši, un visus viņu pārkāpumus, ar ko tie pret Tevi noziegušies, un dod tiem žēlastību atrast pie tiem, kas tos cietumā tur, ka tie par viņiem apžēlojās;
Forgive them for all the sins that they [have committed] against you, and cause their enemies to be kind to them.
51 Jo tie ir Tavi ļaudis un Tavs īpašums, ko Tu esi izvedis no Ēģiptes no tā dzelzs cepļa.
Do not forget that the Israelis are your people; they are your special possession; you brought [our ancestors] out of Egypt where [they were greatly suffering as though] they were in a blazing furnace.
52 Lai Tavas acis atvērtas stāv uz Tava kalpa lūgšanu un uz Tavu Israēla ļaužu lūgšanu, ka Tu tos klausi visās lietās, par ko tie Tevi piesauc.
I request that you always listen to your Israeli people and to me, their king, and heed their prayers whenever they call out to you [to help them].
53 Jo Tu tos Sev esi izredzējis par īpašumu no visām pasaules tautām, itin kā Tu esi runājis caur Savu kalpu Mozu, kad Tu mūsu tēvus izvedi no Ēģiptes zemes, Kungs, Dievs!
You chose them from all the other people-groups in the world to belong to you, which is what you told Moses to tell them when you brought our ancestors out of Egypt.”
54 Un notikās, kad Salamans bija pabeidzis lūgt šo lūgšanu un sirds saukšanu uz To Kungu, tad viņš pacēlās priekš Tā Kunga altāra, kur viņš bija ceļos nometies un savas rokas izpletis pret debesīm,
After Solomon had finished praying and pleading to Yahweh [for his help], he stood up in front of the altar where he had been kneeling. He lifted up his arms.
55 Un viņš nostājās un svētīja visu Israēla draudzi ar stipru balsi un sacīja:
Then he [asked God to] bless all the Israeli people. [He prayed] loudly, saying,
56 Slavēts lai ir Tas Kungs, kas dusu devis Saviem Israēla ļaudīm, itin kā Viņš runājis; neviens vārds nav zemē kritis no visiem Viņa labiem vārdiem, ko Viņš runājis caur Savu kalpu Mozu.
“Praise Yahweh, who has given us his people peace, like he promised that he would do. He has done every one of the good things that he promised to Moses, the man who served him [very well].
57 Lai Tas Kungs, mūsu Dievs, ir ar mums, itin kā Viņš bijis ar mūsu tēviem. Viņš lai mūs neatstāj un lai mūs neatmet.
I pray that our God will be with us like he was with our ancestors, and that he will never abandon us.
58 Lai Viņš mūsu sirdis griež pie Sevis, ka mēs staigājam visos Viņa ceļos, turēdami Viņa baušļus un Viņa likumus un Viņa tiesas, ko Viņš pavēlējis mūsu tēviem.
I pray that he will cause us to loyally serve him, to conduct our lives as he wants us to, and to obey all his commandments and statutes and laws that he gave to our ancestors.
59 Un lai šie vārdi, ar ko es lūdzis Tā Kunga priekšā, tuvu ir pie Tā Kunga, mūsu Dieva, dienām naktīm, lai Viņš tiesu nes Savam kalpam un Saviem Israēla ļaudīm dienu no dienas,
I pray that Yahweh our God will never forget these words that I have prayed, pleading for his help; I pray that he will think about them by day and by night. I pray that he will always help [us] Israeli people and me, giving us the things that we need day by day.
60 Lai visas pasaules tautas atzīst, ka Tas Kungs ir Dievs un cits neviens.
If he does that, all the people-groups in the world will know that he is the only one who is God, and that there is no other one who is God.
61 Un lai jūsu sirds paliek pilnīgi pie Tā Kunga, mūsu Dieva, ka jūs staigājat Viņa likumos un turat Viņa baušļus, tāpat kā šodien.
I pray that you, [his people, ] will always be fully committed to Yahweh, and that you will obey all his statutes and commands, like you are doing now.”
62 Un ķēniņš un viss Israēls līdz ar viņu upurēja upurus Tā Kunga priekšā.
Then the king and all the Israeli people who were there offered sacrifices to Yahweh.
63 Un Salamans upurēja pateicības upurus, ko viņš Tam Kungam atnesa, divdesmit un divtūkstoš vēršus un simts un divdesmit tūkstoš avis. Tā ķēniņš ar visiem Israēla bērniem iesvētīja Tā Kunga namu.
They sacrificed 22,000 cattle and 120,000 sheep to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. Then the king and all the people dedicated the temple.
64 Tai dienā ķēniņš svētīja to iekšējo pagalmu, kas Tā Kunga nama priekšā, jo viņš tur upurēja dedzināmu upuri un ēdamu upuri un pateicības upuru taukus. Jo tas vara altāris Tā Kunga priekšā bija pa mazu priekš tā dedzināma upura un tā ēdama upura un tiem pateicības upuru taukiem.
On that day, the king also dedicated/set apart the middle part of the courtyard that was in front of the temple. Then he offered sacrifices that would be completely burned [in the courtyard], the offerings of grain and the fat of the animals that were sacrificed to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. They sacrificed them there because the bronze altar was not big enough for all those sacrifices to be burned on it [that day].
65 Un tanī laikā Salamans noturēja svētkus ar visu Israēli, lielu draudzi no Hamata robežas līdz Ēģiptes upei Tā Kunga, mūsu Dieva, priekšā, septiņas dienas un atkal septiņas dienas, pavisam četrpadsmit dienas; astotā dienā viņš tos ļaudis atlaida.
Then Solomon and all the Israeli people celebrated the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters for seven days. There was a huge crowd of people there, some of whom had come from [distant places like] Hamath [in the far north] and the border of Egypt [in the far south].
66 Un tie svētīja ķēniņu un gāja uz saviem dzīvokļiem priecīgi un ar līksmu sirdi par visu to labumu, ko Tas Kungs bija darījis Savam kalpam Dāvidam un Saviem Israēla ļaudīm.
On the eighth day, Solomon sent the people to their homes. They all praised him and went home happy because of all the things that Yahweh had done to bless [King] David and his Israeli people.
