Otra Laiku 20
1 Un pēc tam notika, ka Moaba bērni un Amona bērni, un līdz ar tiem kādi no tiem Meunim nāca, karot pret Jehošafatu.
After this, the children of Moab, the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
2 Un vēstneši nāca un sacīja Jehošafatam: liels pulks nāk pret tevi no viņpus jūras, no Sīrijas, un redzi, tie ir AceconaTamarā, tas ir Enģedos.
Then some came who told Jehoshaphat, saying, “A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea from Syria. Behold, they are in Hazazon Tamar” (that is, En Gedi).
3 Tad Jehošafats izbijās un grieza savu vaigu, To Kungu meklēt, un izsauca gavēni pa visu Jūdu.
Jehoshaphat was alarmed, and set himself to seek the LORD. He proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
4 Un Jūda ļaudis sapulcinājās, meklēt no Tā Kunga palīgu, un no visām Jūda pilsētām tie nāca, To Kungu meklēt.
Judah gathered themselves together to seek help from the LORD. They came out of all the cities of Judah to seek the LORD.
5 Un Jehošafats stāvēja Jūda un Jeruzālemes draudzes vidū Tā Kunga namā priekš tā jaunā pagalma
Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the LORD’s house, before the new court;
6 Un sacīja: Kungs mūsu tēvu Dievs! Vai Tu neesi Dievs debesīs un valdītājs visu ļaužu valstīs? Un Tavā rokā ir spēks un vara, ka neviens pret Tevi nevar celties!
and he said, “LORD, the God of our fathers, aren’t you God in heaven? Aren’t you ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in your hand, so that no one is able to withstand you.
7 Vai Tu, mūsu Dievs, šās zemes iedzīvotājus neesi izdzinis Savu Israēla ļaužu priekšā, un vai to neesi devis Ābrahāma, Sava mīļā, dzimumam uz mūžīgiem laikiem?
Didn’t you, our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and give it to the offspring of Abraham your friend forever?
8 Un tie tur dzīvojuši un Tev tur taisījuši svētu vietu Tavam vārdam, sacīdami:
They lived in it, and have built you a sanctuary in it for your name, saying,
9 Kad pār mums nāk nelaime, zobens, sodība, mēris un bads, tad mēs stāvēsim priekš šī nama un priekš Tava vaiga, tāpēc ka Tavs vārds ir šinī namā, un kad Tevi piesauksim savās bēdās, tad Tu paklausīsi un izpestīsi.
‘If evil comes on us—the sword, judgement, pestilence, or famine—we will stand before this house, and before you (for your name is in this house), and cry to you in our affliction, and you will hear and save.’
10 Un nu, redzi, Amona bērni un Moabs un tie no Seīra kalniem, kur Tu Israēlim neļāvi iet cauri, kad tie nāca no Ēģiptes zemes, bet tie no tiem atstājās un tos neizdeldēja, -
Now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom you would not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned away from them, and didn’t destroy them;
11 Redzi nu, tie mums to atmaksā, nākdami, mūs izdzīt no mūsu zemes, ko Tu mums licis iemantot.
behold, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of your possession, which you have given us to inherit.
12 Ak mūsu Dievs! Vai Tu nenesīsi tiesu pret viņiem? Jo mums nav spēka pret šo lielo pulku, kas pret mums nāk, un mēs nezinām, ko būs darīt, bet mūsu acis griežas uz Tevi.
Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that comes against us. We don’t know what to do, but our eyes are on you.”
13 Un visa Jūda valsts stāvēja Tā Kunga priekšā, arī viņu bērni, viņu sievas un viņu dēli.
All Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
14 Tad Tā Kunga Gars nāca draudzes vidū pār Jeaziēli, Zakarijas dēlu, tas bija Benajas, tas Jeiēļa, tas Levita Matanijas dēls, no Asafa bērniem.
Then the LORD’s Spirit came on Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, in the middle of the assembly;
15 Un tas sacīja: klausāties, visa Jūda valsts un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotāji, un ķēniņ Jehošafat, - tā saka Tas Kungs uz jums: nebīstaties un neizbaiļojaties priekš šā lielā pulka, jo tas karš nepieder jums, bet Dievam.
and he said, “Listen, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat. The LORD says to you, ‘Don’t be afraid, and don’t be dismayed because of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
16 Ejat rītu tiem pretī, redzi, tie nāks augšā pa Cic kalnu, un jūs tos sastapsiet ielejas galā šaipus Jeruēles tuksneša.
Tomorrow, go down against them. Behold, they are coming up by the ascent of Ziz. You will find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
17 Šinī kaujā jums nebūs jākaujas, ejat tikai klāt, stāviet un redziet Tā Kunga pestīšanu, kas ir ar jums. Jūda un Jeruzāleme, nebīstaties un neizbaiļojaties, izejat rītu viņiem pretī, jo Tas Kungs būs ar jums.
You will not need to fight this battle. Set yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed. Go out against them tomorrow, for the LORD is with you.’”
18 Tad Jehošafats locījās ar savu vaigu pie zemes, un visi Jūda un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotāji metās pie zemes priekš Tā Kunga un pielūdza To Kungu.
Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before the LORD, worshipping the LORD.
19 Un tie Leviti no Kehāta bērniem un no Koraha bērniem cēlās, augsti slavēt To Kungu, Israēla Dievu ar skanīgu balsi,
The Levites, of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites, stood up to praise the LORD, the God of Israel, with an exceedingly loud voice.
20 Un tie cēlās it agri un izgāja uz Tekoas tuksnesi, un tiem izejot Jehošafats stāvēja un sacīja: klausiet mani, Jūda un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotāji, ticiet uz To Kungu, savu Dievu, tad jūs pastāvēsiet; ticiet Viņa praviešiem, tad jums labi izdosies.
They rose early in the morning and went out into the wilderness of Tekoa. As they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in the LORD your God, so you will be established! Believe his prophets, so you will prosper.”
21 Un viņš sarunājās ar tiem ļaudīm un iecēla dziedātājus priekš Tā Kunga, ka tie svētā glītumā slavētu, apbruņoto priekšā iedami un sacīdami: teiciet To Kungu, jo Viņa žēlastība paliek mūžīgi!
When he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who were to sing to the LORD and give praise in holy array as they go out before the army, and say, “Give thanks to the LORD, for his loving kindness endures forever.”
22 Un to brīdi, kad tie sāka dziedāt tās priecīgās un teicamās dziesmas, tad Tas Kungs sūtīja glūnētājus pret Amona bērniem, Moabu un tiem no Seīra kalniem, kas bija nākuši uz Jūdu, un tie tika sakauti.
When they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushers against the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were struck.
23 Jo Amona bērni un Moabs cēlās pret Seīra kalnu iedzīvotājiem un tos izdeldēja un nomaitāja, un kad tie visus Seīra iedzīvotājus bija nokāvuši, tad tie palīdzēja nomaitāt cits citu.
For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. When they had finished the inhabitants of Seir, everyone helped to destroy each other.
24 Un Jūda nāca kalna galā pie tuksneša un griezās pret tiem pulkiem, un redzi, tur bija miroņi, kas zemē gulēja, un neviens nebija izbēdzis.
When Judah came to the place overlooking the wilderness, they looked at the multitude; and behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and there were none who escaped.
25 Tad Jehošafats un viņa ļaudis nāca un tos aplaupīja un atrada pie tiem ļoti daudz mantas un drēbes un dārgus rīkus, un paņēma tik daudz, ka nevarēja panest, un tie laupīja laupījumu trīs dienas, jo tur bija ļoti daudz.
When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their plunder, they found amongst them in abundance both riches and dead bodies with precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away. They took plunder for three days, it was so much.
26 Un ceturtā dienā tie sapulcējās teikšanas ielejā, jo tur tie teica To Kungu, tāpēc tie tās vietas vārdu nosauca Teikšanas ieleja līdz šai dienai.
On the fourth day, they assembled themselves in Beracah Valley, for there they blessed the LORD. Therefore the name of that place was called “Beracah Valley” to this day.
27 Pēc tam visi vīri no Jūda un Jeruzālemes griezās atpakaļ, un Jehošafats viņu priekšā, un gāja uz Jeruzālemi ar prieku; jo Tas Kungs viņus bija darījis priecīgus par viņu ienaidniekiem.
Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat in front of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
28 Un tie nonāca Jeruzālemē ar somastabulēm un koklēm un trumetēm uz Tā Kunga namu.
They came to Jerusalem with stringed instruments, harps, and shofars to the LORD’s house.
29 Un bailes no Dieva nāca pār visām zemes valstīm, kad dzirdēja, ka Tas Kungs bija karojis pret Israēla ienaidniekiem.
The fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries when they heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.
30 Un Jehošafata valsts bija mierā, un viņa Dievs tam deva mieru visapkārt.
So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest all around.
31 Un Jehošafats valdīja pār Jūdu; viņš bija trīsdesmit piecus gadus vecs, kad tas palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja divdesmit piecus gadus Jeruzālemē, un viņa mātei bija vārds Azuba, Šilkus meita.
So Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he began to reign. He reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
32 Un viņš staigāja sava tēva Asas ceļos un neatstājās no tiem, darīdams, kas Tam Kungam patika.
He walked in the way of Asa his father, and didn’t turn away from it, doing that which was right in the LORD’s eyes.
33 Taču kalnu altāri netapa nopostīti, un vēl tie ļaudis ar savu sirdi pilnīgi neturējās pie savu tēvu Dieva.
However the high places were not taken away, and the people had still not set their hearts on the God of their fathers.
34 Un kas vēl par Jehošafatu stāstāms, par viņa pirmām un pēdējām dienām, redzi, tas rakstīts Jeūs, Anana dēla, stāstos, ko viņš sarakstījis Israēla ķēniņu grāmatā.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is included in the book of the kings of Israel.
35 Un pēc tam Jehošafats, Jūda ķēniņš, sabiedrojās ar Ahaziju, Israēla ķēniņu; tas bija bezdievīgs savos darbos.
After this, Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel. The same did very wickedly.
36 Un viņš ar to vienojās, kuģus taisīt, ar ko braukt uz Taršišu, un tie taisīja kuģus EceonĢeberā.
He joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish. They made the ships in Ezion Geber.
37 Bet Eliēzers, Dodava dēls, no Marezas, sludināja pret Jehošafatu sacīdams: tādēļ ka tu ar Ahaziju esi sabiedrojies, Tas Kungs salauzīs tavu darbu. Un tie kuģi tika sadragāti un nevarēja tikt uz Taršišu.
Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have joined yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works.” The ships were wrecked, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
