Otra Ķēniņu 3
1 Un Jorams, Ahaba dēls, palika par ķēniņu pār Israēli Samarijā, Jehošafata, Jūda ķēniņa, astoņpadsmitā gadā un valdīja divpadsmit gadus.
Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned 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 that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, but not like his father and like his mother, for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.
3 Tikai viņš pieķērās Jerobeama, Nebata dēla, grēkiem, uz ko tas Israēli bija pavedis, - no tiem viņš neatstājās. -
Nevertheless he held to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. He didn’t depart from them.
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.
Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder; and he supplied the king of Israel with one hundred thousand lambs and the wool of one hundred thousand rams.
5 Bet kad Ahabs bija nomiris, tad Moaba ķēniņš atkrita no Israēla ķēniņa.
But when Ahab was dead, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
6 Tad ķēniņš Jorams tai laikā cēlās no Samarijas un sarīkoja visu Israēli,
King Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered all Israel.
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.
He went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me against Moab to battle?” He said, “I will go up. I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”
8 Un viņš sacīja: pa kuru ceļu iesim? Un tas sacīja pa Edoma tuksneša ceļu.
Then he said, “Which way shall we go up?” Jehoram answered, “The way of the wilderness of Edom.”
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 went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom, and they marched for seven days along a circuitous route. There was no water for the army or for the animals that followed them.
10 Tad Israēla ķēniņš sacīja: Ak vai! Tas Kungs šos trīs ķēniņus aicinājis, ka Viņš tos dotu Moaba rokā!
The king of Israel said, “Alas! For the LORD has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of 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.
But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there a prophet of the LORD here, that we may enquire of the LORD by him?” One of the king of Israel’s servants answered, “Elisha the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah, is here.”
12 Un Jehošafats sacīja: Tā Kunga vārds ir pie viņa. Tad pie tā nogāja Israēla ķēniņš un Jehošafats un Edoma ķēniņš.
Jehoshaphat said, “The LORD’s word is with him.” So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
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, “What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother.” The king of Israel said to him, “No, for the LORD has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand 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 said, “As the LORD of Armies lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I respect the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look towards you, nor see you.
15 Nu tad, dabūjat man vienu koklētāju. Un tam koklētājam koklējot Tā Kunga roka nāca pār viņu,
But now bring me a musician.” When the musician played, the LORD’s hand came on him.
16 Un viņš sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs: rokat grāvi pie grāvja šinī ielejā.
He said, “The LORD says, ‘Make this valley full of trenches.’
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.
For the LORD says, ‘You will not see wind, neither will you see rain, yet that valley will be filled with water, and you will drink, both you and your livestock and your other animals.
18 Un tas ir vēl maz priekš Tā Kunga, viņš arī Moabu dos jūsu rokā.
This is an easy thing in the LORD’s sight. He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
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 shall strike every fortified city and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all springs of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.’”
20 Un notikās no rīta ap ēdamā upura laiku, redzi, tad ūdens nāca no Edoma puses, un zeme tapa ūdens pilna.
In the morning, about the time of offering the sacrifice, behold, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
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.
Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all who were able to put on armour, young and old, and stood on the border.
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.
They rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water opposite them 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 said, “This is blood. The kings are surely destroyed, and they have struck each other. Now therefore, Moab, to the plunder!”
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,
When they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land attacking the Moabites.
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.
They beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land each man cast his stone, and filled it. They also stopped all the springs of water and cut down all the good trees, until in Kir Hareseth all they left was its stones; however the men armed with slings went around it 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 saw that the battle was too severe for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew a sword, to break through to the king of Edom; but they could not.
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 he took his oldest son who would have reigned in his place, and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall. There was great wrath against Israel; and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
