Otra Ķēniņu 10

1 Un Ahabam bija septiņdesmit dēli Samarijā, un Jeūs rakstīja grāmatas un tās sūtīja uz Samariju pie Jezreēles virsniekiem, pie tiem vecajiem un Ahaba bērnu uzraugiem ar šiem vārdiem:

And Achab had seventy sons in Samaria: so Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, to the chief men of the city, and to the ancients, and to them that brought up Achab’s children, saying:

2 Kad šī grāmata pie jums nonāk, un jūsu kunga dēli ir pie jums, un rati un zirgi, stipra pilsēta un bruņas,

As soon as you receive these letters, ye that have your master’s sons, and chariots, and horses, and fenced cities, and armour,

3 Tad izredziet to labāko un taisnāko no sava kunga dēliem, un ieceļat to viņa tēva goda krēslā, un karojiet par sava kunga namu.

Choose the best, and him that shall please you most of your master’s sons, and set him on his father’s throne, and fight for the house of your master.

4 Bet tie bijās varen ļoti un sacīja: redzi, divi ķēniņi viņa priekšā nav pastāvējuši, kā tad mēs pastāvēsim?

But they were exceedingly afraid, and said: Behold two kings could not stand before him, and how shall we be able to resist?

5 Un kas par to namu un pilsētu bija iecelts, un tie vecaji un uzraugi sūtīja pie Jeūs un sacīja: mēs esam tavi kalpi un darīsim visu, ko tu mums sacīsi, mēs nevienu necelsim par ķēniņu; dari tu, kas tev patīk.

Therefore the overseers of the house, and the rulers of the city, and the ancients, and the tutors sent to Jehu, saying: We are thy servants, whatsoever thou shalt command us we will do, neither will we make us a king: do thou all that pleaseth thee.

6 Tad viņš tiem rakstīja citu grāmatu ar šiem vārdiem: ja jūs esat manā pusē un gribat klausīt manai balsij, tad ņemiet sava kunga dēlu galvas un nāciet pie manis rīt ap šo laiku uz Jezreēli. (Un to ķēniņa dēlu bija septiņdesmit vīri pie pilsētas lielkungiem, kas tos audzināja.)

And he wrote letters the second time to them, saying: If you be mine, and will obey me, take the heads of the sons of your master, and come to me to Jezrahel by tomorrow this time. Now the king’s sons, being seventy men, were brought up with the chief men of the city.

7 Kad nu šī grāmata pie tiem atnāca, tad tie ņēma tos ķēniņa dēlus un nokāva visus septiņdesmit un lika viņu galvas kurvjos un tās sūtīja uz Jezreēli.

And when the letters came to them, they took the king’s sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezrahel.

8 Un kad tas vēstnesis atnāca un viņam to stāstīja sacīdams: tie ir atnesuši ķēniņa dēlu galvas, tad viņš sacīja: lieciet tās divējās kopās pie vārtu durvīm līdz rītam.

And a messenger came, and told him, saying: They have brought the heads of the king’s sons. And he said: Lay ye them in two heaps by the entering in of the gate until the morning.

9 Un no rīta, kad viņš izgāja, tad viņš tur nostājās un sacīja uz visiem ļaudīm: jūs esat taisni, redzi, es esmu cēlis dumpi pret savu kungu un viņu nokāvis; kas tad šos visus ir kāvis?

And when it was light, he went out, and standing said to all the people: You are just: if I conspired against my master, and slew him, who hath slain all these?

10 Tāpēc atzīstiet, ka no Tā Kunga vārda nekas nav kritis zemē, ko Tas Kungs runājis pret Ahaba namu; jo Tas Kungs ir darījis, ko Viņš runājis caur savu kalpu Eliju.

See therefore now that there hath not fallen to the ground any of the words of the Lord, which the Lord spoke concerning the house of Achab, and the Lord hath done that which he spoke in the hand of his servant Elias.

11 Tad Jeūs arī visus apkāva, kas no Ahaba nama bija atlikušies Jezreēlē, arī visus viņa augstniekus un viņa pazīstamos un viņa svētītājus, kamēr tam neviena vairs neatlika.

So Jehu slew all that were left of the house of Achab in Jezrahel, and all his chief men, and his friends, and his priests, till there were no remains left of him.

12 Un viņš cēlās un gāja un nonāca Samarijā un bija ceļā vienā namā, kur gani dzīvoja.

And he arose, and went to Samaria: and when he was come to the shepherds’ cabin in the way,

13 Tad Jeūs atrada Ahazijas, Jūda ķēniņa, brāļus un uz tiem sacīja: kas jūs esat? Un tie sacīja: mēs esam Ahazijas brāļi un esam nākuši apmeklēt ķēniņa un ķēniņienes bērnus.

He met with the brethren of Ochozias king of Juda, and he said to them: Who are you? And they answered: We are the brethren of Ochozias, and are come down to salute the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen.

14 Tad viņš sacīja: grābiet tos dzīvus. Un tie tos sagrāba dzīvus un tos apkāva pie ganu nama akas, četrdesmit un divus vīrus, un neatlicināja no tiem neviena.

And he said: Take them alive. And they took them alive, and killed them at the pit by the cabin, two and forty men, and he left not any of them.

15 Un no turienes aizgājis viņš atrada Jonadabu, Rekaba dēlu, pretī nākam, un to apsveicināja un uz to sacīja: vai tava sirds taisna, kā mana sirds ar tavu sirdi? Un Jonadabs sacīja: ir gan. (Jeūs sacīja: ) Ja tā ir, tad dod man savu roku. Un viņš tam deva roku. Un viņš tam lika pie sevis kāpt ratos.

And when he was departed thence, he found Jonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him, and he blessed him. And he said to him: Is thy heart right as my heart is with thy heart? And Jonadab said: It is. If it be, said he, give me thy hand. He gave him his hand. And he lifted him up to him into the chariot,

16 Un viņš sacīja: nāc man līdz un skaties manu karstumu priekš Tā Kunga. Un viņš tam lika braukt savos ratos.

And he said to him: Come with me, and see my zeal for the Lord. So he made him ride in his chariot,

17 Tad viņš nonāca Samarijā un apkāva visus, kas Ahabam bija atlikuši Samarijā, tiekams viņš tos izdeldēja, pēc Tā Kunga vārda, ko tas caur Eliju bija runājis.

And brought him into Samaria. And he slew all that were left of Achab in Samaria, to a man, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by Elias.

18 Un Jeūs sapulcināja visus ļaudis un uz tiem sacīja: Ahabs Baālam maz ir kalpojis, Jeūs viņam daudz vairāk kalpos.

And Jehu gathered together all the people, and said to them: Achab worshipped Baal a little, but I will worship him more.

19 Tāpēc aicinājiet visus Baāla praviešus, visus viņa kalpus un visus viņa svētītājus pie manis, ka neviens neatraujās, jo man Baālam jaupurē liels upuris. Nevienam, kas atraujās, nebūs palikt dzīvam. Bet Jeūs to darīja ar viltību, ka viņš nomaitātu visus Baāla kalpus.

Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, and all his servants, and all his priests: let none be wanting, for I have a great sacrifice to offer to Baal: whosoever shall be wanting shall not live. Now Jehu did this craftily, that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.

20 Un Jeūs sacīja: svētījiet Baālam svētkus, un tie tos izsauca.

And he said: Proclaim a festival for Baal. And he called,

21 Tad Jeūs sūtīja arī pa visu Israēli, un visi Baāla kalpi atnāca, un neviens neatrāvās, kas nebūtu nācis, un tie nāca Baāla namā, ka Baāla nams līdz galu galam bija pilns.

And he sent into all the borders of Israel, and all the servants of Baal came: there was not one left that did not come. And they went into the temple of Baal: and the house of Baal was filled, from one end to the other.

22 Tad viņš sacīja uz tiem, kas bija iecelti pār to drēbju namu: atnesiet visiem Baāla kalpiem drēbes, un tie viņiem atnesa drēbes.

And he said to them that were over the wardrobe: Bring forth garments for all the servants of Baal. And they brought them forth garments.

23 Tad Jeūs ar Jonadabu, Rekaba dēlu, gāja Baāla namā, un viņš sacīja uz Baāla kalpiem: meklējiet un pieraugāt, ka jūsu starpā nav neviena no Tā Kunga kalpiem, bet Baāla kalpi vien.

And Jehu and Jonadab the son of Rechab went to the temple of Baal, and said to the worshippers of Baal: Search, and see that there be not any with you of the servants of the Lord, but that there be the servants of Baal only.

24 Kad tie nu nāca upurēt kaujamos un dedzināmos upurus, tad Jeūs ārā nolika astoņdesmit vīrus un sacīja: ja kāds no tiem vīriem, ko es jums dodu rokā, izbēgs, tad jūsu dvēsele būs viņa dvēseles vietā.

And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings: but Jehu had prepared him fourscore men without, and said to them: If any of the men escape, whom I have brought into your hands, he that letteth him go shall answer life for life.

25 Kad nu dedzināmais upuris bija pabeigts, tad Jeūs sacīja uz pils karavīriem un uz virsniekiem: ejat un kaujiet tos, ka neviens neizbēg. Un tie tos apkāva ar zobena asmeni, un tie pils karavīri un virsnieki tos nometa pie malas un gāja Baāla nama pilī.

And it came to pass, when the burnt offering was ended, that Jehu commanded his soldiers and captains, saying: Go in, and kill them, let none escape. And the soldiers and captains slew them with the edge of the sword, and cast them out: and they went into the city of the temple of Baal,

26 Un tie iznesa Baāla nama uzceltos stabus un tos sadedzināja,

And brought the statue out of Baal’s temple, and burnt it,

27 Un sadragāja Baāla uzcelto tēlu un salauzīja Baāla namu un to darīja par gānekļu vietu līdz šodienai.

And broke it in pieces. They destroyed also the temple of Baal, and made a jakes in its place unto this day.

28 Tā Jeūs Baālu izdeldēja no Israēla.

So Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel:

29 Bet no Jerobeama, Nebata dēla, grēkiem, kas Israēli bija pavedis uz grēkiem, Jeūs neatstājās, proti no tiem zelta teļiem Bētelē un Danā.

But yet he departed not from the sills of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, nor did he forsake the golden calves that were in Bethel and Dan.

30 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Jeū: “Tāpēc ka tev labs prāts bijis darīt, kas Man patīk un Ahaba namam visu esi darījis, kas bija Manā sirdī, tad tavi dēli tev sēdēs Israēla krēslā līdz ceturtam augumam.”

And the Lord said to Jehu: Because thou hast diligently executed that which was right and pleasing in my eyes, and hast done to the house of Achab according to all that was in my heart: thy children shall sit upon the throne of Israel to the fourth Generation.

31 Bet Jeūs nedzinās staigāt Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, bauslībā ar visu savu sirdi; viņš neatstājās no Jerobeama grēkiem, kas Israēli bija pavedis uz grēkiem.

But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord the God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, who had made Israel to sin.

32 Tanī laikā Tas Kungs Israēli iesāka mazināt, jo Azaēls tos kāva visās Israēla robežās,

In those days the Lord began to he weary of Israel: and Hazael ravaged them in all the coasts of Israel,

33 No Jardānes puses pret rītiem visu Gileādas zemi, Gadiešus un Rūbeniešus un Manasiešus, no Aroēra pie Arnonas upes un Gileādu un Basanu.

From the Jordan eastward, all the land of Galaad, and Gad, and Ruben, and Manasses, from Aroer, which is upon the torrent Amen, and Galaad, and Basan.

34 Un kas vēl par Jeū stāstāms, un viss, ko viņš darījis, un viss viņa spēks, tas ir rakstīts Israēla ķēniņu laiku grāmatā.

But the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and his strength, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

35 Un Jeūs aizmiga saviem tēviem pakaļ un viņu apraka Samarijā, un viņa dēls Joakas palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.

And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria: and Joachaz his son reigned in his stead.

36 Un tas laiks, kamēr Jeūs pār Israēli valdījis Samarijā, ir divdesmit un astoņi gadi.

And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel, in Samaria, was eight and twenty years.
