Otra Ķēniņu 3
1 Un Jorams, Ahaba dēls, palika par ķēniņu pār Israēli Samarijā, Jehošafata, Jūda ķēniņa, astoņpadsmitā gadā un valdīja divpadsmit gadus.
After Jehoshaphat had been ruling Judah for almost 18 years, Ahab’s son Joram became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for twelve years.
2 Un viņš darīja, kas Tam Kungam nepatika, bet ne tā, kā viņa tēvs un kā viņa māte, jo viņš lika noņemt to uzcelto Baāla stabu, ko viņa tēvs bija taisījis.
He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil, but he did not do as much evil as his father and mother had done, and he got rid of the pillar [for worshiping] Baal which his father had made.
3 Tikai viņš pieķērās Jerobeama, Nebata dēla, grēkiem, uz ko tas Israēli bija pavedis, - no tiem viņš neatstājās. -
But he committed the sins that [King] Jeroboam had committed and which led the Israeli people to sin, and he did not stop committing those sins.
4 Un Mešum, Moaba ķēniņam, bija daudz lopu, un viņš deva Israēla ķēniņam par mesliem simts tūkstoš jērus un simts tūkstoš aunus ar visu vilnu.
Mesha, the king of Moab, raised sheep. [Every year] he was forced to give 100,000 lambs and the wool from 100,000 rams to the king of Israel, [because his kingdom was controlled by the king of Israel].
5 Bet kad Ahabs bija nomiris, tad Moaba ķēniņš atkrita no Israēla ķēniņa.
But after King Ahab died, Mesha rebelled against the king of Israel.
6 Tad ķēniņš Jorams tai laikā cēlās no Samarijas un sarīkoja visu Israēli,
So King Joram left Samaria and gathered together all his soldiers.
7 Un nogāja un sūtīja pie Jehošafata, Jūda ķēniņa, sacīdams: Moaba ķēniņš no manis atkritis, vai tu līdz ar mani gribi karā iet pret Moabu? Un tas sacīja: es iešu līdz, es būšu kā tu, mani ļaudis kā tavi ļaudis, un mani zirgi kā tavi zirgi.
Then he sent this message to Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah: “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. So will your army join my army and fight against the army of Moab?” Jehoshaphat replied, “Yes, we will help you. We are ready to do whatever you want us to. My soldiers and my horses are ready to help you.”
8 Un viņš sacīja: pa kuru ceļu iesim? Un tas sacīja pa Edoma tuksneša ceļu.
He asked, “On which road shall we march to attack them?” Joram replied, “We will go [south to Jerusalem, where your army will join us. Then we will all go south of the Dead Sea, and then turn north] through the Edom Desert.”
9 Tā tie gāja, Israēla ķēniņš un Jūda ķēniņš un Edoma ķēniņš. Un kad tie bija gājuši septiņu dienu gājumu, tad tiem nebija ūdens, ne karaspēkam, ne lopiem, kas tiem bija līdz.
So the king of Israel [and his army] went with the kings of Judah and Edom [and their armies]. They marched for seven days. Then there was no water left for their soldiers or for their animals that carried supplies.
10 Tad Israēla ķēniņš sacīja: Ak vai! Tas Kungs šos trīs ķēniņus aicinājis, ka Viņš tos dotu Moaba rokā!
The king of Israel exclaimed, “This is a terrible situation! [It seems that] Yahweh will allow the three of us to be captured by [the army of] [MTY] Moab!”
11 Un Jehošafats sacīja: vai še nav kāds no Tā Kunga praviešiem, ka To Kungu caur viņu vaicātu? Tad viens no Israēla ķēniņa kalpiem tam atbildēja un sacīja: še ir Eliša, Šafata dēls, kas ūdeni lēja uz Elijas rokām.
Jehoshaphat said, “Is there a prophet here who can ask Yahweh for us [what we should do]?” One of Joram’s army officers said, “Elisha, the son of Shaphat, is here. He was Elijah’s assistant.” [IDM]
12 Un Jehošafats sacīja: Tā Kunga vārds ir pie viņa. Tad pie tā nogāja Israēla ķēniņš un Jehošafats un Edoma ķēniņš.
Jehoshaphat said, “[It will be good to ask him, because] he speaks what Yahweh tells him to say.” So those three kings went to Elisha.
13 Bet Eliša sacīja uz Israēla ķēniņu: kas man ar tevi? Ej pie sava tēva praviešiem un pie savas mātes praviešiem. Bet Israēla ķēniņš uz to sacīja: nē, jo Tas Kungs šos trīs ķēniņus ir aicinājis, ka viņš tos dotu Moaba rokā.
Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Why do you come to me [RHQ]? Go and ask those prophets that your father and mother consulted!” But Joram replied, “No, [we want you to ask Yahweh, because it seems that] Yahweh is going to allow us three kings to be captured by the army of Moab.”
14 Un Eliša sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs Cebaot dzīvs, priekš kā es stāvu, ja es to nedarītu Jehošafata, Jūda ķēniņa, labad, tad es tev ne virsū neskatītos nedz tevi ievērotu.
Elisha replied, “I serve Yahweh, the commander of the armies of angels in heaven. As surely as he lives, if I did not respect Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not even think about doing anything to help you.
15 Nu tad, dabūjat man vienu koklētāju. Un tam koklētājam koklējot Tā Kunga roka nāca pār viņu,
But, bring a musician to me.” [So they did that]. And when the musician played [on his harp], the power of Yahweh came on Elisha.
16 Un viņš sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs: rokat grāvi pie grāvja šinī ielejā.
He said, “Yahweh says that he will cause this dry stream-bed to be full of water.
17 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs: jūs neredzēsiet ne vēju ne lietu, tomēr šī ieleja būs pilna ūdens, jums dzert pašiem un jūsu sīkiem un lieliem lopiem.
The result will be that your soldiers and your animals that carry supplies and your livestock will have plenty of water to drink.
18 Un tas ir vēl maz priekš Tā Kunga, viņš arī Moabu dos jūsu rokā.
That is not difficult for Yahweh to do. [But he will do more than that]. He will also enable you to defeat [the army of] Moab.
19 Un jums būs kaut visas stiprās pilsētas un visas izredzētās pilsētas, un nocirst visus labos kokus un aizbāzt visus ūdens avotus un samaitāt visus labos tīrumus ar akmeņiem.
You will conquer all their beautiful cities, cities that have high walls around them. You must cut down all their fruit trees, stop water from flowing from their springs, and ruin their fertile fields by covering them with rocks.”
20 Un notikās no rīta ap ēdamā upura laiku, redzi, tad ūdens nāca no Edoma puses, un zeme tapa ūdens pilna.
The next morning, at the time when they offered the sacrifices [of grain], they were surprised to see water flowing from Edom and covering the ground.
21 Kad nu visi Moabieši dzirdēja, ka tie ķēniņi nāca, pret tiem karot, tad tie sasauca visus, kas spēja bruņas nest, un vēl pārāki(vecākie) un tie stājās uz robežām.
When the people of Moab heard that the three kings had come [with their armies] to fight against them, all the men who were able to fight in battles, from the youngest men to the oldest ones, were summoned, and they (took their positions/prepared to fight) at the [southern] border of their land.
22 Un kad tie no rīta agri cēlās un saule bija uzlēkusi pār to ūdeni, tad Moabieši no tālienes to ūdeni redzēja sarkanu kā asinis.
But when they rose early the next morning, they saw that the water across from them appeared to be as red as blood.
23 Un tie sacīja: tās ir asinis; tiešām tie ķēniņi pacēluši zobenu, zobenus viens pret otru un cits citu nokāvuši. Un nu, Moab, celies uz laupīšanu.
They exclaimed, “It is blood! The three enemy armies must have fought and killed each other! So let’s go and take everything that they have left!”
24 Bet kad tie nāca pie Israēla lēģera, tad Israēlieši cēlās un kāva Moabiešus un šie no viņiem bēga. Un tie tur ielauzās un apkāva Moabiešus,
But when they reached the area where the Israeli soldiers had set up their tents, the Israelis attacked the soldiers from Moab and forced them to retreat. The Israeli soldiers pursued the soldiers from Moab and killed many of them.
25 Un nopostīja tās pilsētas, un ikkatrs meta savu akmeni uz visiem labiem tīrumiem un tos sameta pilnus, un aizbāza visus avotus un nocirta visus labos kokus, līdz kamēr Ķirarezetē akmeņus vien atlicināja. Un lingotāji ap to apmetās un tai svieda virsū.
The Israelis also destroyed their cities. And whenever they passed fertile fields, they threw rocks on those fields, until the fields were covered with rocks. They stopped water from flowing from the springs and cut down the fruit trees. Finally, only [the capital city, ] Kir-Hareseth, remained. The Israeli soldiers who threw stones with slings surrounded the city and attacked it.
26 Kad nu Moaba ķēniņš redzēja, ka kaušanās tam metās par stipru, tad viņš pie sevis ņēma septiņsimt vīrus, kas zobenu izvilka, lauzties cauri pret Edoma ķēniņu, bet tie nespēja.
When the king of Moab realized that his army was being defeated, he took with him 700 men who fought with swords, and they tried to force a way through the Israeli lines of soldiers to escape to [get help from] the king of Syria, but they were unable to escape.
27 Tad viņš ņēma savu pirmdzimušo dēlu, kam viņa vietā bija palikt par ķēniņu, un to upurēja par dedzināmo upuri uz mūra. Un Israēli pārņēma lielas dusmas un tie no tā atstājās un griezās atpakaļ uz savu zemi.
Then the king of Moab took his oldest son, who would have become the next king, and killed him and offered him for a sacrifice [to their god Chemosh], burning him on top of the city wall. The Israeli soldiers were horrified, with the result that they left that city and returned to their own country.
