Otra Laiku 12
1 Kad nu Rekabeams valstību bija stiprinājis un pats bija palicis stiprs, tad viņš atstāja Tā Kunga bauslību un viss Israēls līdz ar viņu.
After Rehoboam was in complete control of his kingdom, he and all [the other people in] Judah stopped obeying the laws of Yahweh.
2 Un ķēniņa Rekabeama piektā gadā Zizaks, Ēģiptes ķēniņš, cēlās pret Jeruzālemi (jo tie bija apgrēkojušies pret To Kungu)
As a result, after Rehoboam had been king for almost five years, Yahweh sent Shishak, the king of Egypt, [with his army] to attack Jerusalem.
3 Ar tūkstoš un divsimt ratiem un ar sešdesmit tūkstoš jātniekiem, un to ļaužu bija neizskaitāms pulks, kas ar viņu nāca no Ēģiptes: Lībieši, Zuķieši un Moru ļaudis.
Along with his army he brought 1,200 chariots and 60,000 soldiers riding horses and a very large number of troops from two regions in Libya, and from Ethiopia.
4 Un viņš uzņēma tās stiprās pilsētas, kas bija Jūdā, un nāca līdz Jeruzālemei.
They captured many of the cities in Judah that had walls around them, and they came as far as Jerusalem.
5 Tad pravietis Šemaja nāca pie Rekabeama un pie Jūda lielkungiem, kas Zizaka dēļ Jeruzālemē bija sapulcējušies, un uz tiem sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs: jūs Mani esat atstājuši, tāpēc Es jūs arīdzan esmu atstājis Zizaka rokā.
Then the prophet Shemaiah came to Rehoboam and the other leaders of Judah who had gathered in Jerusalem because they were afraid of [the army of] Shishak. Shemaiah said to them, “Yahweh says this: ‘You have abandoned me; so now I am abandoning you, to [allow you to be captured by the army of] Shishak.’”
6 Tad Israēla lielkungi un ķēniņš pazemojās un sacīja: Tas Kungs ir taisns.
Then the king and the other Israeli leaders humbled themselves and said, “What Yahweh is doing to us is fair.”
7 Kad nu Tas Kungs redzēja, ka tie pazemojās, tad Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Šemaju sacīdams: tie ir pazemojušies, Es tos negribu izdeldēt, bet Es tos gan drīz izglābšu un neizgāzīšu Savu bardzību pār Jeruzālemi caur Zizaka roku.
When Yahweh realized that they had humbled themselves, he gave this message to Shemaiah: “Because they have humbled themselves, I will not allow them to be destroyed. Instead, I will soon rescue them. I will not use Shishak’s army to completely destroy the people of Jerusalem,
8 Bet tiem būs viņam par kalpiem būt, lai tie atzīst, kas tas ir Man kalpot, un kas tas ir pasaules ķēniņiem kalpot.
but they will conquer Jerusalem and force the people there to do what Shishak wants them to do. As a result, the people of Jerusalem will learn [that it is better] to serve me than to serve the kings of other countries.”
9 Tad Zizaks, Ēģiptes ķēniņš, nāca pret Jeruzālemi un paņēma Tā Kunga nama mantas un ķēniņa nama mantas, visu viņš paņēma; viņš paņēma arī tās zelta priekšturamās bruņas, ko Salamans bija taisījis.
When Shishak’s [army] attacked Jerusalem, they took/carried away the valuable things that were in the temple of Yahweh and the valuable things that were in the king’s palace. They took everything [that was valuable], including the gold shields that Solomon’s [workers] had made.
10 Un ķēniņš Rekabeams taisīja viņu vietā priekšturamās vara bruņas un tās iedeva pils karavīru virsniekiem rokā, kas vakti turēja priekš ķēniņa nama durvīm.
So King Rehoboam’s workers made bronze shields to be used instead of the gold ones and gave the bronze shields to the commanders of the men who guarded the entrance to his palace.
11 Kad nu ķēniņš Tā Kunga namā gāja, tad tie pils karavīri nāca un tās nesa, un pēc tie tās atnesa atpakaļ pils karavīru kambarī.
After that, whenever the king went to the temple, the guards went with him, carrying those bronze shields. Then [when the king left, ] they would return the shields to the guards’ room.
12 Un kad tas pazemojās, tad Tā Kunga bardzība no tā novērsās, ka Viņš to pavisam neizdeldēja; jo iekš Jūda vēl bija kāds labums,
Because Rehoboam humbled himself, Yahweh stopped being angry with him and did not get rid of him. Instead, he caused good things to happen in Judah.
13 Un ķēniņš Rekabeams stiprinājās Jeruzālemē un valdīja. Jo Rekabeams bija četrdesmit vienu gadu vecs, kad tas palika par ķēniņu un valdīja septiņpadsmit gadus Jeruzālemē, tai pilsētā, ko Tas Kungs no visām bija izredzējis, tur likt Savu vārdu, un viņa mātei bija vārds Naēma, Amoniete.
King Rehoboam again was in complete control in Jerusalem and continued to be the king [of Judah]. He was 41 years old when he became the king. He ruled for 17 years in Jerusalem, which is the city that Yahweh had chosen from all the tribes in Israel to be the place in which people were to worship him.
14 Un viņš darīja ļaunu, jo viņa sirds nebija pastāvīga, To Kungu meklēt.
Rehoboam’s mother’s name was Naamah. She was from the Ammon people-group. Rehoboam did evil things because he did not try to find out what Yahweh wanted him to do.
15 Un tie stāsti par Rekabeamu, gan pirmie, gan pēdējie, tie rakstīti pravieša Šemajas un redzētāja Idus grāmatās, radu rakstos. Un Rekabeama un Jerobeama kari nemitējās visā viņu mūžā.
An account of all the things that Rehoboam did while he was the king, and lists of the members of his family, are in the scrolls written by the prophets Shemaiah and Iddo. The armies of Rehoboam and Jeroboam were constantly fighting each other.
16 Un Rekabeams aizmiga pie saviem tēviem un tapa aprakts Dāvida pilī; un Abija, viņa dēls, palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
When Rehoboam died, he was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Abijah became the king.
