Otra Laiku 28
1 Ahazs bija divdesmit gadus vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja Jeruzālemē sešpadsmit gadus, un nedarīja, kas Tam Kungam labi patika, kā viņa tēvs Dāvids.
Ahaz was 20 years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. His ancestor King David was a good king, but Ahaz was not like David. He constantly disobeyed Yahweh
2 Bet viņš staigāja Israēla ķēniņu ceļos un taisīja arī tēlus Baāliem,
and was as sinful as the kings of Israel had been. He made idols of the god Baal.
3 Un kvēpināja BenHinnoma ielejā un sadedzināja savus dēlus ugunī, pēc to pagānu negantības, ko Tas Kungs bija izdzinis Israēla bērnu priekšā.
He burned incense in Hinnom Valley. He even [killed some of] his own sons [and] offered [them] as sacrifices to be completely burned. That imitated the disgusting customs of the people-groups who previously lived there, people whom Yahweh had expelled as the Israelis advanced through the land.
4 Viņš upurēja un kvēpināja kalnos un pakalnos un apakš visiem zaļiem kokiem.
Ahaz offered sacrifices [to idols] at shrines on hilltops and under every big green tree.
5 Tādēļ Tas Kungs, viņa Dievs, to nodeva rokā Sīrijas ķēniņam, un tie viņu sita un no tā aizveda lielu pulku cietumā, un tos noveda uz Damasku. Viņš tapa arī nodots Israēla ķēniņa rokā; tas viņu kāva lielā kaušanā.
Therefore Yahweh his God allowed his army to be defeated by the army of the king of Syria. They captured many soldiers of Judah and took them as prisoners to Damascus. The army of the king of Israel also defeated the army of Judah and killed very many of their soldiers.
6 Un Peka, Remalijas dēls, kāva iekš Jūda vienā dienā simts divdesmit tūkstošus, kas visi bija kara vīri, tāpēc ka tie bija atstājuši To Kungu, savu tēvu Dievu.
In one day the army of Remaliah’s son, King Pekah [of Israel], killed 120,000 soldiers in Judah. That happened because [the people of] Judah had abandoned Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped].
7 Un Sihrus, varonis no Efraīma, nokāva Maāseju, ķēniņa dēlu, un Asrikamu, (ķēniņa) nama pārvaldnieku, un Elkanu, otro no ķēniņa.
Zicri, a warrior from the tribe of Ephraim, killed king Ahaz’s son Maaseiah, Azrikam the officer in charge of the palace, and Elkanah, the king’s assistant.
8 Un Israēla bērni aizveda no saviem brāļiem divsimt tūkstošus, sievas, dēlus un meitas, un ņēma arī daudz laupījuma no tiem, un veda to laupījumu uz Samariju.
The soldiers of Israel captured 200,000 of the people of Judah, including many wives and sons and daughters [of the soldiers of Judah]. They also seized and took back to Samaria many valuable things.
9 Un tur bija Tā Kunga pravietis Odeds vārdā, tas izgāja pretī tam kara spēkam, kas uz Samariju nāca, un uz tiem sacīja: redzi, bardzībā par Jūdu, Tas Kungs, jūsu tēvu Dievs, tos ir devis jūsu rokā, un jūs tos esat nokāvuši tādā bardzībā, kas sniedzās līdz debesīm.
But a prophet of Yahweh whose name was Obed was there [in Samaria]. He went out of the city to meet the army when it returned to Samaria. He said to them, “Because Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [belonged to], was angry with [the people of] Judah, he allowed you to defeat them. But God has seen the cruel way that you slaughtered them.
10 Nu jūs arī domājat Jūda un Jeruzālemes bērnus sev padarīt par vergiem un kalponēm; vai tas jums nav par grēku pret To Kungu, savu Dievu?
And now you want to [sin by] causing men and women from Judah to become your slaves, but you have certainly also sinned against Yahweh our God!
11 Nu tad, klausiet mani, vediet atpakaļ tos cietumniekus, ko jūs no saviem brāļiem esat aizveduši cietumā, jo Tā Kunga bardzība pret jums ir iekarsusi.
So listen to me! Send back [to Judah] your fellow-countrymen whom you have captured, because Yahweh is extremely angry with you [for what you did to them].”
12 Tad no Efraīma bērnu virsniekiem šie vīri, Azarija, Jehohanana dēls, Bereķija, Mezilemota dēls, un Jeīsķija, Šaluma dēls, un Amasa, Adlaja dēls, cēlās pret tiem, kas no tā karaspēka nāca,
Then some of the leaders of [the tribe of] Ephraim—Azariah the son of Jehohanan, Berekiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai—rebuked those who were returning from the battle.
13 Un uz tiem sacīja: nevediet šurp tos cietumniekus, jo jūs tikai gribat, lai apgrēkojamies pret To Kungu, vairot mūsu grēkus un noziegumus, jebšu mūsu noziegums liels un bardzība pret Israēli ir iedegusies.
They said to them, “You must not bring those prisoners here! If you do that, Yahweh will consider that we are guilty of sinning. We are already guilty of committing many sins; do you want to cause us to be even more guilty by committing another sin? God is already very angry with [us people of] Israel!”
14 Tad tie apbruņotie atstāja tos cietumniekus un to laupījumu virsnieku un visas draudzes priekšā.
So, while their leaders and others were watching, the soldiers released the prisoners, and also gave back to them the valuable things that they had captured.
15 Un tie vīri, kas ar vārdu minēti, cēlās un ņēma tos cietumniekus un apģērba no tā laupījuma visus plikos viņu starpā un tiem deva drēbes un kurpes un ēst un dzert, un tos svaidīja un lika uz ēzeļiem visus, kas bija noguruši, un tos noveda uz Jēriku, to palmu pilsētu, pie viņu brāļiem, un griezās atpakaļ uz Samariju.
The leaders who were selected took some of the clothes that the soldiers had taken from the prisoners and gave those clothes back to the people who were naked. They also gave to the prisoners sandals and other clothes and things to eat and drink, and they gave them olive oil to rub on their wounds. They gave donkeys to those who were very weak, in order that they could ride on them. Then they led them all to Jericho, the city that had many palm trees. Then those leaders [of Israel] returned to Samaria.
16 Tanī laikā ķēniņš Ahazs sūtīja pie Asīrijas ķēniņiem pēc palīdzības.
About that time, King Ahaz sent [a message] to the king of Assyria requesting help.
17 Tad vēl arī Edomieši nāca un kāva Jūdu un aizveda cietumniekus.
[He did that because the army from] the Edom people-group had come again and attacked Judah and taken away many of the people of Judah as prisoners.
18 Arī Fīlisti ielauzās ielejas pilsētās un Jūda dienvidu pusē un uzņēma BetŠemesu un Ajalonu un Ģederotu un Zoku un viņas miestus, un Timnu un viņas miestus, un Ģimzu un viņas miestus, un tie tur apmetās.
At the same time, men from Philistia had raided/attacked towns in the foothills and in the southern desert of Judah. They had captured Beth-Shemesh, Aijalon, and Gederoth [cities], as well as Soco, Timnah and Gimzo [towns] and the nearby villages.
19 Jo Tas Kungs pazemoja Jūdu Ahaza, Israēla ķēniņa, dēļ, jo tas bija bezdievīgi dzīvojis iekš Jūda un ļoti noziedzies pret To Kungu.
Yahweh [allowed those things to happen in order to] humble king Ahaz, because he had encouraged the people of Judah to do wicked things and had disobeyed Yahweh very much.
20 Un Tiglat Pilnezers, Asīrijas ķēniņš, nāca pret viņu, un viņu spieda un tam nepalīdzēja.
Tiglath-Pileser, the king of Assyria, sent [his army saying that they would] help Ahaz, but instead of helping him, they caused him to experience trouble.
21 Jebšu Ahazs iztukšoja Tā Kunga namu un ķēniņa namu un to lielkungu namu, un deva dāvanas Asīrijas ķēniņam, tomēr tas viņam nepalīdzēja.
Ahaz’s [soldiers] took some of the [valuable] things from the temple and from the king’s palace and from other leaders of Judah and sent them to the king of Assyria [to pay him to help them], but the king of Assyria refused to help Ahaz.
22 Un tai laikā, kad to spieda, viņš pret To Kungu vēl vairāk apgrēkojās; tāds bija ķēniņš Ahazs.
While King Ahaz was experiencing those troubles, he disobeyed Yahweh even more.
23 Un viņš upurēja Damaskus dieviem, kas viņu bija situši, un sacīja: tāpēc ka Sīriešu ķēniņu dievi tiem palīdz, tad es tiem upurēšu, lai tie arī man palīdz; bet tie tam bija par krišanu, ir visam Israēlim.
He offered sacrifices to the gods that were worshiped in Damascus, whose [army] had defeated his [army]. He thought, “The gods that are worshiped by the kings of Syria have helped them, so I will offer sacrifices to those gods in order that they will help me.” But worshiping those gods caused Ahaz and all of Israel to be ruined.
24 Un Ahazs ņēma Dieva nama traukus un sasita Dieva nama traukus un aizslēdza Tā Kunga nama durvis un taisīja sev altārus visos Jeruzālemes kaktos.
Ahaz gathered all the furnishings [that were used] in the temple and broke them into pieces. He locked the doors of the temple and set up altars [for worshiping idols] at every street corner in Jerusalem.
25 Viņš taisīja arī ikkatrā Jūda pilsētā altārus, svešiem dieviem kvēpināt, - tā viņš apkaitināja To Kungu, savu tēvu Dievu.
In every town in Judah, his workers built shrines to burn sacrifices to other gods, and that caused Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped], to be very angry.
26 Un kas vēl par viņu stāstāms, un visi viņa ceļi, gan pirmie, gan pēdējie, redzi tie ir rakstīti Jūda un Israēla ķēniņu grāmatā.
A record of the other things that Ahaz did while he was the king, from when he started to rule until he died, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel’.
27 Un Ahazs aizmiga pie saviem tēviem, un viņu apraka Jeruzālemes pilsētā. Bet viņu neveda Israēla ķēniņu kapenēs. Un viņa dēls Hizkija palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
Ahaz died and was buried in Jerusalem, but he was not buried in the tombs where the other kings [had been buried]. Then his son Hezekiah became the king.
