Otra Ķēniņu 6
1 Un praviešu bērni sacīja uz Elišu: redzi jel, tā vieta, kur mēs tavā priekšā dzīvojam, mums ir par šauru.
Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “Please take note that the place where we meet with you is too small for us.
2 Ejam jel pie Jardānes un ņemsim tur ikkatrs vienu baļķi, un taisīsim sev tur vietu, kur dzīvot. Un tas sacīja: ejat.
Please let us go to the Jordan, where each of us can get a log so we can build ourselves a place to live there.” “Go,” said Elisha.
3 Un viens sacīja: nāc lūdzams un ej līdz saviem kalpiem. Un viņš sacīja: es iešu.
Then one of them said, “Please come with your servants.” “I will come,” he replied.
4 Tā viņš ar tiem gāja. Un tie nonāca pie Jardānes un nocirta kokus.
So Elisha went with them, and when they came to the Jordan, they began to cut down some trees.
5 Un notikās, ka vienam baļķi cērtot cirvis iekrita ūdenī; tad tas sāka brēkt un sacīja: vai, mans kungs! Un tas bija palienēts.
As one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron axe head fell into the water. “Oh, my master,” he cried out, “it was borrowed!”
6 Un tas Dieva vīrs sacīja: kur tas iekrita? Tad tas viņam rādīja to vietu, un viņš nogrieza koku un iegrūda tur, tad tā dzelzs peldēja.
“Where did it fall?” asked the man of God. And when he showed him the place, the man of God cut a stick, threw it there, and made the iron float.
7 Un viņš sacīja: ņem to. Tad tas izstiepa savu roku un to paņēma.
“Lift it out,” he said, and the man reached out his hand and took it.
8 Un Sīriešu ķēniņš karoja pret Israēli un aprunājās ar saviem kalpiem un sacīja: apmetīsimies tai un tai vietā.
Now the king of Aram was at war against Israel. After consulting with his servants, he said, “My camp will be in such and such a place.”
9 Bet tas Dieva vīrs sūtīja pie Israēla ķēniņa un sacīja: sargies, neej šai vietai garām, jo Sīrieši tur grib apmesties.
Then the man of God sent word to the king of Israel: “Be careful passing by this place, for the Arameans are going down there.”
10 Tad Israēla ķēniņš sūtīja uz to vietu, par ko tas Dieva vīrs tam bija sacījis un piekodinājis, un tur apsargājās ne vienu ne otru lāgu vien.
So the king of Israel sent word to the place the man of God had pointed out. Time and again Elisha warned the king, so that he was on his guard in such places.
11 Tad Sīriešu ķēniņa sirds sašuta par šo lietu, un viņš aicināja savus kalpus un uz tiem sacīja: vai jūs man nevarat sacīt, kurš no mūsējiem tinās ar Israēla ķēniņu?
For this reason the king of Aram became enraged and called his servants to demand of them, “Tell me, which one of us is on the side of the king of Israel?”
12 Tad viens no viņa kalpiem sacīja: tā nav, mans kungs un ķēniņ, bet Israēla pravietis, Eliša, saka Israēla ķēniņam tos vārdus; ko tu savā guļamā istabā runā.
But one of his servants replied, “No one, my lord the king. For Elisha, the prophet in Israel, tells the king of Israel the very words you speak in your bedroom.”
13 Un viņš sacīja: ejat un raugāt, kur tas ir, ka es sūtu, viņu atvest. Tad viņam teica un sacīja: redzi, viņš ir Dotanā.
So the king said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send men to capture him.” On receiving the report, “Elisha is in Dothan,”
14 Tad viņš uz turieni sūtīja zirgus un ratus un lielu pulku, un tie nāca naktī un apmetās ap to pilsētu.
the king of Aram sent horses, chariots, and a great army. They went there by night and surrounded the city.
15 Un Tā Dieva vīra sulainis cēlās agri un izgāja, un redzi, kara pulks ar zirgiem un ratiem bija apmeties ap pilsētu. Tad viņa puisis uz to sacīja: mans kungs, ko darīsim?
When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early in the morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. So he asked Elisha, “Oh, my master, what are we to do?”
16 Un viņš sacīja: nebīsties, jo to ir vairāk, kas pie mums, nekā to, kas pie viņiem.
“Do not be afraid,” Elisha answered, “for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
17 Un Eliša pielūdza un sacīja: Kungs, atdari jel viņam acis, ka tas redz! Tad Tas Kungs atdarīja tā puiša acis, ka tas redzēja, un redzi, kalns bija pilns ugunīgu zirgu un ratu Elišam apkārt.
Then Elisha prayed, “O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see.” And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw that the hills were full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
18 Un tie nonāca pie viņa, un Eliša lūdza To Kungu un sacīja: sit jel šos ļaudis ar aklību, un Viņš tos sita ar aklību pēc Elišas vārda.
As the Arameans came down against him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, “Please strike these people with blindness.” So He struck them with blindness, according to the word of Elisha.
19 Tad Eliša uz tiem sacīja: šis nav tas ceļš un šī nav tā pilsēta. Nāciet man pakaļ, es jūs vedīšu pie tā vīra, ko jūs meklējat. Un viņš tos veda uz Samariju.
And Elisha told them, “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will take you to the man you are seeking.” And he led them to Samaria.
20 Kad tie nu nonāca Samarijā, tad Eliša sacīja: Kungs, atdari tiem acis, ka tie redz. Un Tas Kungs atdarīja tiem acis, ka tie redzēja, un redzi, tie bija pašā Samarijas vidū.
When they had entered Samaria, Elisha said, “O LORD, open the eyes of these men that they may see.” Then the LORD opened their eyes, and they looked around and discovered that they were in Samaria.
21 Un Israēla ķēniņš sacīja uz Elišu, kad viņš tos redzēja: vai man tos būs kaut, vai kaut, mans tēvs?
And when the king of Israel saw them, he asked Elisha, “My father, shall I kill them? Shall I kill them?”
22 Bet viņš sacīja: tev tos nebūs kaut; ko tu ar savu zobenu un ar savu stopu aizņem, tos kauj. Cel viņiem priekšā maizi un ūdeni, lai tie ēd un dzer un iet atkal pie sava kunga.
“Do not kill them,” he replied. “Would you kill those you have captured with your own sword or bow? Set food and water before them, that they may eat and drink and then return to their master.”
23 Un viņš tiem taisīja lielu mielastu, ka tie ēda un dzēra; un viņš tos atlaida, un tie atkal gāja pie sava kunga. Pēc tam Sīriešu sirotāji vairs nenāca Israēla zemē.
So the king prepared a great feast for them, and after they had finished eating and drinking, he sent them away, and they returned to their master. And the Aramean raiders did not come into the land of Israel again.
24 Un pēc tam notikās, ka BenHadads, Sīriešu ķēniņš, sapulcināja visu savu karaspēku un cēlās un apmeta lēģeri ap Samariju.
Some time later, Ben-hadad king of Aram assembled his entire army and marched up to besiege Samaria.
25 Un liels bads bija Samarijā, jo redzi, tie šo spieda tik ilgi, tiekams ēzeļa galva maksāja astoņdesmit sudraba gabalus, un ceturtdaļa kaba(apmēram litrs) baložu mēslu pieci sudraba gabalus.
So there was a great famine in Samaria. Indeed, they besieged the city so long that a donkey’s head sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter cab of dove’s dung sold for five shekels of silver.
26 Un notikās, kad Israēla ķēniņš staigāja pa mūri, tad viena sieva uz to brēca un sacīja: palīdzi man, mans kungs un ķēniņ!
As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, “Help me, my lord the king!”
27 Un tas sacīja: Tas Kungs tev nepalīdz, kā tad lai es tev palīdzu? Vai no klona, vai no vīna spaida?
He answered, “If the LORD does not help you, where can I find help for you? From the threshing floor or the winepress?”
28 Un ķēniņš uz to sacīja: kas tev kait? Un tā sacīja: šī sieva uz mani sacīja, dod savu dēlu, ka to šodien ēdam, tad rītu ēdīsim manu dēlu.
Then the king asked her, “What is the matter?” And she answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him, and tomorrow we will eat my son.’
29 Tad mēs manu dēlu esam vārījušas un ēdušas. Bet kad otru dienu es uz to sacīju: dod nu savu dēlu, ka to ēdam, tad viņa savu dēlu ir apslēpusi.
So we boiled my son and ate him, and the next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him.’ But she had hidden her son.”
30 Un kad ķēniņš dzirdēja šās sievas vārdus, tad tas saplēsa savas drēbes, pa mūri iedams, un tie ļaudis redzēja, un redzi, tam bija maiss apakšā uz pašām miesām.
When the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes. And as he passed by on the wall, the people saw the sackcloth under his clothes next to his skin.
31 Un viņš sacīja: lai Dievs man šā vai tā dara, ja Elišas, Šafata dēla, galva šodien uz viņa paliks.
He announced, “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat remains on his shoulders through this day!”
32 Un Eliša sēdēja namā, un tie vecaji sēdēja pie tā. Un (ķēniņš) sūtīja vīru savā priekšā. Bet pirms tas vēstnesis pie tā nonāca, Eliša sacīja uz tiem vecajiem: vai esat redzējuši, ka šis slepkavas bērns sūtījis, man galvu noraut? Redziet, kad tas vēstnesis nāk, tad aizslēdziet durvis, ar tām durvīm to grūzdami ārā. Klau, aiz viņa jau viņa kunga kāju troksnis!
Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. The king sent a messenger ahead, but before he arrived, Elisha said to the elders, “Do you see how this murderer has sent someone to cut off my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door to keep him out. Is not the sound of his master’s footsteps behind him?”
33 Un kamēr viņš vēl ar tiem runāja, redzi, tad tas vēstnesis ienāca pie tā un (ķēniņš) sacīja: redzi, tas ļaunums nāk no Tā Kunga, ko tad man vēl cerēt uz To Kungu?
While Elisha was still speaking with them, the messenger came down to him. And the king said, “This calamity is from the LORD. Why should I wait for the LORD any longer?”
