Otra Ķēniņu 7

1 Tad Eliša sacīja: klausāties Tā Kunga vārdu: tā saka Tas Kungs: rītu ap šo laiku pūrs kviešu miltu maksās vienu sēķeli un divi pūri miežu vienu sēķeli Samarijas vārtos.

Then Elisha said, Give ear to the word of the Lord: the Lord says, Tomorrow, about this time, a measure of good meal will be offered for the price of a shekel and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the market-place of Samaria.

2 Tad tas virsnieks, uz kura roku ķēniņš atspiedās, atbildēja tam Dieva vīram un sacīja: redzi, jebšu Tas Kungs logus taisītu debesīs, vai šī lieta varētu notikt? Bet tas sacīja: redzi, ar savām acīm tu to redzēsi, bet no tā neēdīsi.

Then the captain whose arm was supporting the king said to the man of God, Even if the Lord made windows in heaven, would such a thing be possible? And he said, Your eyes will see it, but you will not have a taste of the food.

3 Un četri spitālīgi vīri bija vārtu durvīs un tie sacīja cits uz citu: ko še paliekam, kamēr mirstam?

Now there were four lepers seated at the doorway into the town: and they said to one another, Why are we waiting here for death?

4 Ja arī domātu pilsētā tikt, tad pilsētā ir bads, un mēs taču tur mirsim, - un ja te paliksim, tad arī mirsim. Tad nu nāciet, iesim Sīriešu lēģeri, - ja tie mūs pamet dzīvus, tad dzīvosim, un ja tie mūs nokauj, tad mirsim.

If we say, We will go into the town, there is no food in the town, and we will come to our end there; and if we go on waiting here, death will come to us. Come then, let us give ourselves up to the army of Aram: if they let us go on living, then life will be ours; and if they put us to death, then death will be ours.

5 Un tie cēlās paša novakarē, iet uz Sīriešu lēģeri, un kad tie nonāca pie Sīriešu lēģera malas, redzi, tad tur nebija neviena.

So in the half light they got up to go to the tents of Aram; but when they came to the outer line of tents, there was no one there.

6 Jo Tas Kungs Sīriešu spēkam bija licis dzirdēt troksni no ratiem un zirgiem un liela karaspēka troksni, tā ka cits uz citu sacīja: redzi, Israēla ķēniņš pret mums saderējis Hetiešu ķēniņus un ēģiptiešu ķēniņus, ka tie mums uzbrūk.

For the Lord had made the sound of carriages and horses, and the noise of a great army, come to the ears of the Aramaeans, so that they said to one another, Truly, the king of Israel has got the kings of the Hittites and of the Egyptians for a price to make an attack on us.

7 Tā tie bija cēlušies un bēguši pa krēslu un pametuši savas teltis un savus zirgus un savus ēzeļus, lēģeri, kā tas bija, un bija bēguši, glābt tik dzīvību.

So they got up and went in flight, in the half light, without their tents or their horses or their asses or any of their goods; they went in flight, fearing for their lives.

8 Kad nu šie spitālīgie nonāca pie lēģera malas, tad tie iegāja vienā teltī, ēda un dzēra, un ņēma no turienes sudrabu un zeltu un drēbes, un nogāja un apslēpa un nāca atkal un gāja citā teltī, un ņēma no turienes arīdzan un nogāja un apslēpa.

And when those lepers came to the outer line of tents, they went into one tent, and had food and drink, and took from it silver and gold and clothing, which they put in a secret place; then they came back and went into another tent from which they took more goods, which they put away in a secret place.

9 Tad cits uz citu sacīja: mēs nedarām labi; šī diena ir priecīgas vēsts diena; ja mēs cietīsim klusu un gaidīsim līdz rīta gaismai, tad kritīsim vainā. Nu tad nāciet, iesim un nesīsim ziņu ķēniņa namam.

Then they said to one another, We are not doing right. Today is a day of good news, and we say nothing: if we go on waiting here till the morning, punishment will come to us. So let us go and give the news to those of the king's house.

10 Un tie gāja un sauca pilsētas vārtu sargus un tiem teica sacīdami: mēs gājām Sīriešu lēģerī, un redzi, tur nebija neviena un neviena cilvēka balss, kā vien piesieti zirgi un ēzeļi un teltis kā papriekš.

So they came in, and, crying out to the door-keepers of the town, they gave them the news, saying, We came to the tents of the Aramaeans, and there was no one there and no voice of man, only the horses and the asses in their places, and the tents as they were.

11 Tad sasauca vārtu sargus, un tie nesa to vēsti iekšā ķēniņa namā.

Then the door-keepers, crying out, gave the news to those inside the king's house.

12 Un ķēniņš cēlās naktī un sacīja uz saviem kalpiem: es jums teikšu, ko Sīrieši mums darījuši. Tie zina, ka mēs esam badā, tāpēc tie no lēģera ir izgājuši apslēpties laukā, domādami: ja tie no pilsētas nāks ārā, tad mēs tos grābsim dzīvus un ielauzīsimies pilsētā.

Then the king got up in the night and said to his servants, This is my idea of what the Aramaeans have done to us. They have knowledge that we are without food; and so they have gone out of their tents, and are waiting secretly in the open country, saying, When they come out of the town, we will take them living and get into the town.

13 Tad viens no viņa kalpiem atbildēja un sacīja: lai jel ņem tos pieci atlikušos zirgus, kas pilsētā atlikuši, (redzi, tie ir kā viss Israēla pulks, kas atlicies, vai kā viss Israēla pulks, kas aizgājis bojā); tos sūtīsim izlūkot.

And one of his servants said in answer, Send men and let them take five of the horses which we still have in the town; if they keep their lives they will be the same as those of Israel who are still living here; if they come to their death they will be the same as all those of Israel who have gone to destruction: let us send and see.

14 Tad tie ņēma divus ratus ar zirgiem, un ķēniņš tos sūtīja Sīriešu karaspēkam pakaļ un sacīja: ejat un izlūkojiet.

So they took two horsemen; and the king sent them after the army of the Aramaeans, saying, Go and see.

15 Un tie laida tiem pakaļ līdz Jardānei, un redzi, viss ceļš bija pilns drēbju un rīku, ko Sīrieši bēgdami bija nometuši. Un tie vēstneši griezās atpakaļ un to teica ķēniņam.

And they went after them as far as Jordan; and all the road was covered with clothing and vessels dropped by the Aramaeans in their flight. So those who were sent went back and gave the news to the king.

16 Tad tie ļaudis izgāja un aplaupīja Sīriešu lēģeri, un pūrs kviešu miltu maksāja vienu sēķeli, un divi pūri miežu maksāja arī vienu sēķeli, pēc Tā Kunga vārda.

Then the people went out and took the goods from the tents of the Aramaeans. So a measure of good meal was to be had for the price of a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, as the Lord had said.

17 Un ķēniņš to virsnieku, uz kura roku viņš atspiedās, bija iecēlis pār vārtiem, un tie ļaudis viņu samina vārtos, ka tas nomira, pēc tiem vārdiem, ko tas Dieva vīrs bija runājis, kad ķēniņš pie viņa nonāca.

And the king gave authority to that captain, on whose arm he was supported, to have control over the doorway into the town; but he was crushed to death there under the feet of the people, as the man of God had said when the king went down to him.

18 Jo tas notika tā, kā tas Dieva vīrs uz ķēniņu bija runājis un sacījis: rītu ap šo laiku pūrs kviešu miltu maksās vienu sēķeli un divi pūri miežu vienu sēķeli Samarijas vārtos,

So the words of the man of God came true, which he said to the king: Two measures of barley will be offered for the price of a shekel and a measure of good meal for a shekel, tomorrow about this time in the market-place of Samaria.

19 Tad tas virsnieks tam Dieva vīram bija atbildējis un sacījis: redzi, jebšu Tas Kungs taisītu logus debesīs, vai šī lieta varētu notikt? Un tas bija sacījis: redzi, tu to redzēsi ar savām acīm, bet no tā neēdīsi.

And that captain said to the man of God, Even if the Lord made windows in heaven, would such a thing be possible? And he said to him, Your eyes will see it, but you will not have a taste of the food.

20 Un tā viņam notika, jo tie ļaudis viņu samina vārtos, ka tas nomira.

And such was his fate; for he was crushed to death under the feet of the people, in the doorway into the town.
