Otra Laiku 11
1 Un Jeruzālemē nonācis Rekabeams sapulcināja Jūda un Benjamina namu, simts un astoņdesmit tūkstoš jaunus, izlasītus karavīrus, karot pret Israēli, lai valstība atkal tiktu Rekabeamam.
When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he gathered 180,000 of the best soldiers from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. He wanted them to fight against [the northern tribes of] Israel [and defeat them], in order that he could rule [all the tribes of] the kingdom again.
2 Bet Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Šemaju, Dieva vīru, sacīdams:
But Yahweh spoke to the prophet Shemaiah and said this to him:
3 Runā uz Rekabeamu, Salamana dēlu, Jūda ķēniņu, un uz visu Israēli Jūdā un Benjaminā un saki:
“Go and tell this to [Solomon’s son] Rehoboam, the king of Judah, and to all the Israeli people of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin:
4 Tā saka Tas Kungs: jums nebūs iet pret saviem brāļiem karot; griežaties atpakaļ ikkatrs savās mājās, jo šī lieta no manis notikusi. Un tie klausīja Tā Kunga vārdus un griezās atpakaļ no tā ceļa pret Jerobeamu.
‘Yahweh says that you must not go to fight against [the people of Israel; they are] your distant relatives. All of you must go home. What has happened is what Yahweh wanted to happen.’” [So Shemaiah went and told that to them, ] and they all heeded what Yahweh had commanded them to do, and they did not attack Jeroboam [and his soldiers].
5 Un Rekabeams dzīvoja Jeruzālemē un uztaisīja pilsētas par stipram pilīm Jūdā.
Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and his workers built walls around several of the cities and towns in Judah to protect them [against enemy attacks].
6 Un viņš uztaisīja Bētlemi un Etamu un Tekou
In [the area that belonged to] the tribes of Judah and Benjamin they built walls around Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7 Un Betcuru un Zoku un Adulamu
Beth-Zur, Soco, Adullam,
8 Un Gatu un Marezu un Zivu
Gath, Mareshah,
9 Un Adoraīmu un Laķisu un Azeku
Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
10 Un Careju un Ajalonu un Hebroni, kas Jūdā un Benjaminā bija stipras pilsētas.
Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron.
11 Un viņš darīja šās stiprās pilis vēl stiprākas un lika tanīs virsniekus, sakrāja tur barību, eļļu un vīnu,
He also appointed an army commander in each of those cities and towns, and gave them supplies of food, olive oil, and wine [to keep in storage].
12 Un ikkatrā pilsētā viņš ielika priekšturamās bruņas un šķēpus un darīja tās ļoti stipras; tā Jūda un Benjamins viņam piederēja.
He put shields and spears in all the cities and made them well-protected. So he continued to rule the tribes of Judah and Benjamin.
13 Un tie priesteri un Leviti, kas bija starp visu Israēli, atnāca pie viņa no visām savām robežām.
The priests and other descendants of Levi throughout Israel supported Rehoboam.
14 Jo Leviti atstāja savus apgabalus un savu dzīvi un gāja uz Jūdu un Jeruzālemi; jo Jerobeams un viņa dēli tos izdzina, lai tie Tam Kungam vairs nebūtu par priesteriem.
The descendants of Levi [who lived outside the territory of Judah and Benjamin] abandoned their property and their pastureland, and they came to Jerusalem and [to other places in] Judah, because Jeroboam and his sons would not allow them to do the work of priests of Yahweh.
15 Un viņš sev iecēla priesterus priekš tiem kalna altāriem un jodiem un teļiem, ko viņš bija taisījis.
Instead, Jeroboam appointed the priests that he wanted to work [at the altars he commanded to be built] on the hilltops, [to offer sacrifices to] the idols that he commanded to be made [that resembled] goats and calves.
16 Un viņiem gāja pakaļ uz Jeruzālemi arī no visām Israēla ciltīm, kas savu sirdi nodeva, meklēt To Kungu, Israēla Dievu, un upurēt Tam Kungam, savu tēvu Dievam.
And people from every tribe in Israel who wanted to worship Yahweh, the God to whom the Israelis belonged, went with the descendants of Levi to Jerusalem to live there and to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped].
17 Tā tie darīja spēcīgu Jūda valstību un stiprināja Rekabeamu, Salamana dēlu, trīs gadus; jo trīs gadus tie staigāja Dāvida un Salamana ceļos.
They caused the kingdom of Judah to be strong, and for three years they were happy that Solomon’s son Rehoboam was the king. During that time they conducted their lives [righteously] as David and Solomon had done previously.
18 Un Rekabeams ņēma par sievu Maēlatu, Jerimota, Dāvida dēla, meitu, un Abikaīlu, Elijaba, Isajus dēla, meitu.
Rehoboam married Mahalath. She was the daughter of David’s son Jerimoth, and her mother was Abihail, the daughter of Eliab and granddaughter of Jesse.
19 Tā tam dzemdēja dēlus: Jeū, Zemariju un Zaāmu.
Rehoboam and Mahalath had three sons: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
20 Un pēc tās viņš ņēma Maēku, Absaloma meitu; tā tam dzemdēja Abiju un Ataju un Zizu un Šelomitu.
Later Rehoboam married Maacah, the daughter of Absalom, and they had four sons: Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
21 Un Rekabeams mīlēja Maēku, Absaloma meitu, vairāk nekā visas savas sievas un liekās sievas; jo viņš bija ņēmis astoņpadsmit sievas un sešdesmit liekas sievas, un dzemdināja divdesmitastoņus dēlus un sešdesmit meitas.
Rehoboam loved Maacah more than he loved any other of his wives and slave wives. Altogether he had 18 wives and 60 slave wives, and 28 sons and 60 daughters.
22 Un Rekabeams iecēla Abiju, Maēkas dēlu, par virsnieku un lielkungu starp viņa brāļiem; jo viņš domāja, to celt par ķēniņu.
Rehoboam appointed his son Abijah to be the leader of his [older and younger] brothers, because he wanted to appoint Abijah to be the next king.
23 Un viņš turējās gudri un izdalīja visus savus dēlus pa visām Jūda un Benjamina valstīm visās stiprās pilsētās, un deva tiem barības papilnam un ņēma tiem pulku sievas.
He very wisely sent some of his other sons to other cities in the areas of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and to all the other cities that had walls around them. He gave them plenty of supplies and many wives.
