Otra Ķēniņu 6
1 Un praviešu bērni sacīja uz Elišu: redzi jel, tā vieta, kur mēs tavā priekšā dzīvojam, mums ir par šauru.
The sons of the prophets told Elisha, “Look, the place 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.
Let's go to the Jordan and each of us can carry one log back. We can build a new place there for us to meet.” “Go ahead,” said Elisha.
3 Un viens sacīja: nāc lūdzams un ej līdz saviem kalpiem. Un viņš sacīja: es iešu.
One of them asked, “Please come with your servants.” “I'll come,” he replied.
4 Tā viņš ar tiem gāja. Un tie nonāca pie Jardānes un nocirta kokus.
So he went with them. When they got to the Jordan, they started cutting down trees.
5 Un notikās, ka vienam baļķi cērtot cirvis iekrita ūdenī; tad tas sāka brēkt un sacīja: vai, mans kungs! Un tas bija palienēts.
But as one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron axhead fell into the water. “Oh no! My master, it was one that was borrowed!” he shouted.
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?” the man of God asked. When he showed him the place, the man of God cut a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron axhead float.
7 Un viņš sacīja: ņem to. Tad tas izstiepa savu roku un to paņēma.
“Pick it up,” Elisha told the man. So he reached out his hand and picked it up.
8 Un Sīriešu ķēniņš karoja pret Israēli un aprunājās ar saviem kalpiem un sacīja: apmetīsimies tai un tai vietā.
The Aramean king was at war with Israel. After consulting with his officers, he said, “I will set up my camp in this particular 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 a warning to the king of Israel: “Watch out if you go near this place, because the Arameans are going to be 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 a warning to the place the man of God had indicated. Elisha repeatedly warned the king, so that he was on the alert in those 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?
This made the Aramean king really mad. He summoned his officers, demanding an answer: “Tell me, which 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.
“It's none of us, my lord the king,” one of his officers replied. “It's Elisha, the prophet who lives in Israel—he tells the king of Israel even what you say 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 gave the order, “Go and find out where he is so I can send soldiers to capture him.” He was told, “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.
So he sent horses, chariots, and a large army. They came at night and surrounded the town.
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?
Early in the morning when the servant of the man of God got up, he went out and saw that an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh, my master, what are we going to do?” he asked Elisha.
16 Un viņš sacīja: nebīsties, jo to ir vairāk, kas pie mums, nekā to, kas pie viņiem.
Elisha replied, “Don't be afraid, for there are many more who are with us than there 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.
Elisha prayed, saying, “Lord, please open his eyes so he can see.” The Lord opened the servant's eyes, and when he looked he saw the hills 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 army descended on him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, “Please strike these people with blindness.” So he struck them with blindness, as Elisha had asked.
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.
Then Elisha went and told them, “This isn't the right road, and this isn't the right town. Follow me, and I'll take you to the man you're looking for.” 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.
After they had entered Samaria, Elisha prayed, “Lord, open the eyes of these men that they can see.” The Lord opened their eyes, and they looked around and saw 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?
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.
“No, don't you kill them!” he replied. “Would you kill prisoners you captured with your own sword or bow? Give them some food and water so that they may eat and drink, and then let them go back 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 had a great feast prepared for them, and once they had finished eating and drinking, he sent them back to their master. The Aramean raiders did not enter 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.
Sometime after this Ben-hadad king of Aram called up all his army and went to lay siege to 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 major famine in Samaria. In fact the siege lasted so long that a donkey's head cost eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter cab of dove's dung cost 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 walking by on the city wall, a woman called 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?
“If the Lord doesn't help you, why would you think I can help you?” the king replied. “I don't have grain from the threshing floor, or wine from 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.
But then he asked her, “What's the problem?” “This woman told me, ‘Give up your son and we'll eat him today, and tomorrow we'll eat my son,’” she answered.
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 cooked my son and we ate him. The next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we can eat him,’ but she's 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 what the woman said he ripped his clothes. As he walked by on the wall, the people saw that he was wearing 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.
“May God punish me very severely if the head of Elisha, son of Shaphat, remains on his shoulders today!” he declared.
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!
Elisha was sitting in his house with the elders. The king had sent a messenger on ahead, but before he got there, Elisha told the elders, “Can you see how this murderer is sending someone to cut off my head? So, as soon as the messenger arrives, close the door and hold it shut against him. Isn't that the sound of his master's footsteps following 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 arrived. The king said, “This disaster is from the Lord. Why should I wait for the Lord any longer?”
