Otra Ķēniņu 9
1 Tad pravietis Eliša sauca vienu no praviešu bērniem un uz to sacīja: apjozi savus gurnus un ņem savā rokā šo eļļas krūzi un ej uz Rāmotu Gileādā.
Meanwhile, the prophet Elisha summoned one of the other prophets. He said to him, “Get ready [IDM] and go to Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region]. Take this jar of [olive] oil with you.
2 Un turp nonācis lūko, kur Jeūs, Jehošafata dēls, Nimšus dēla dēls, un ej iekšā un liec viņam celties no saviem brāļiem un ved viņu dibina(tālākā) istabā,
When you arrive there, search for a man named Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat and grandson of Nimshi. Go with him into a room away from his companions,
3 Un ņem to eļļas krūzi un izlej to pār viņa galvu un saki: tā saka Tas Kungs: Es tevi svaidu par ķēniņu pār Israēli. Pēc atdari durvis un bēdz un nekavējies.
and pour [some of] this oil on his head. Then say to him, ‘Yahweh declares that he is appointing you to be the king of Israel.’ Then open the door and run away as quickly as you can.”
4 Un šis jauneklis, tas pravieša puisis, nogāja uz Rāmotu Gileādā.
So the young prophet went to Ramoth.
5 Un viņam ieejot, redzi, kara virsnieki tur sēdēja, un tas sacīja: man ar tevi kas jārunā, kara virsniek. Tad Jeūs sacīja: ar kuru no mums visiem? Un viņš sacīja: ar tevi, kara virsniek.
When he arrived, he saw that the commanders of the army were having a conference. He [looked at Jehu and] said, “Sir, I have a message for [one of] you.” Jehu replied, “Which one of us is the message for?” The young prophet replied, “It is for you, commander/sir.”
6 Tad viņš cēlās un gāja namā. Un tas izlēja to eļļu uz viņa galvu un uz to sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: “Es tevi svaidu par ķēniņu pār Tā Kunga ļaudīm, pār Israēli.
So Jehu got up and went with the young prophet into a house. There the young prophet poured some [olive] oil on Jehu’s head and said to him, “Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], declares this: ‘I am appointing you to be the king of my Israeli people.
7 Un tev būs sava kunga Ahaba namu kaut, lai Es atriebju pie Izebeles savu kalpu, to praviešu, asinis un visu Tā Kunga kalpu asinis.
You must kill your master [King Joram], the son of Ahab, because I want to punish [Ahab’s wife] Jezebel for murdering [MTY] many of my prophets and other people who served me.
8 Un viss Ahaba nams ies bojā; un Es izdeldēšu no Ahaba nama visu, kas pie sienas mīž, mazu un lielu iekš Israēla.
You must kill [not only Joram but] all of Ahab’s family. I want to get rid of every male in the family, including young ones and old ones.
9 Jo Es darīšu Ahaba namu kā Jerobeama, Nebata dēla, namu un kā Baešus, Ahijas dēla namu.
I will get rid of Ahab’s family, like I got rid of the families of two other kings of Israel, Jeroboam and Baasha.
10 Un suņi ēdīs Izebeli Jezreēles tīrumā, un neviena nebūs, kas to apraks.” Tad viņš atdarīja durvis un bēga.
And [when] Jezebel [dies], her corpse will not be buried. Dogs will eat her corpse there in Jezreel [city].’” After the young prophet said this, he left the room and ran.
11 Kad nu Jeūs izgāja pie sava kunga kalpiem, tad tie uz viņu sacīja: vai miers? Kāpēc šis trakais pie tevis nācis? Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: jūs jau pazīstat to vīru un viņa valodu.
When Jehu came out of the room to where his other commanders were, they said to him, “Is everything all right? Why did that mad fellow come to you?” He replied, “You know what kinds of things young prophets like him say.”
12 Bet tie sacīja: tie ir meli, stāsti mums jel! Un tas sacīja: tā un tā tas uz mani runāja un sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs: “Es tevi svaidu par ķēniņu pār Israēli.”
They said, “You are lying! Tell us what he said!” He replied, “He told me that Yahweh said, ‘I am appointing [MTY] you to be the king of Israel.’”
13 Tad tie steidzās un ņēma ikkatrs savu drēbi un to lika viņam apakšā uz pakāpēm un pūta bazūnes un sacīja: Jeūs ir ķēniņš!
Then they all spread their cloaks on the steps of the building [for Jehu to walk out on], and they blew trumpets and shouted, “Jehu is now the king!”
14 Tā Jeūs, Jehošafata dēls, Nimšus dēla dēls, cēla dumpi pret Joramu. Bet Jorams ar visu Israēli bija apmeties ap Rāmotu Gileādā, pret Azaēli, Sīriešu ķēniņu.
King Joram and his army had been defending Ramoth against the attacks by the army of the king of Syria. King Joram had returned to Jezreel [city], to recover from being wounded in the battle against the army of Hazael, the king of Syria. And Jehu made plans to kill Joram. He said to his other commanders, “If helping me is truly what you want, make sure that no one leaves this city to go to warn the people of Jezreel [about what I am planning to do].”
15 Un ķēniņš Jorams bija pārnācis, likties dziedināties Jezreēlē no tām vainām, ko Sīrieši viņam bija situši, kad tas karoja pret Azaēli, Sīriešu ķēniņu. Un Jeūs sacīja: ja tas jūsu prāts, tad lai neviens no pilsētas neizmūk un nenoiet, to stāstīt Jezreēlē.
16 Tad Jeūs sēdās ratos un brauca uz Jezreēli, jo Jorams tur gulēja. Un Ahazija, Jūda ķēniņš, bija nācis, Joramu apraudzīt.
Then Jehu and his officers got into their chariots and rode to Jezreel, where Joram was still recovering. And King Ahaziah of Judah was there, visiting Joram.
17 Un tas vaktnieks, kas stāvēja Jezreēles tornī, ieraudzīja Jeūs pulku nākam un sacīja: es redzu vienu pulku. Tad Jorams sacīja: ņem vienu jātnieku un sūti to viņiem pretī, un lai tas prasa: vai miers?
A guard was standing in the watchtower in Jezreel. He saw Jehu and his men approaching. He called out, “I see a lot of men [who are approaching]!” King Joram [heard what the watchman said, so he] said to his soldiers, “Send someone on a horse to go and find out if they are coming to be friendly to us or to attack us.”
18 Un tas jātnieks tam jāja pretī un sacīja: tā saka ķēniņš: vai miers? Bet Jeūs sacīja: kas tev par mieru? Stājies man iepakaļ! Tad tas vaktnieks teica un sacīja: tas vēstnesis pie tiem nonācis, bet nenāk atpakaļ.
So a man rode out to meet Jehu and said to him, “The king wants to know [if you are coming to be] friendly to us.” Jehu replied, “This is not the time for you [RHQ] to be concerned about acting friendly! Turn around and come behind me!” So the guard in the watchtower reported that the messenger had reached the group [that was approaching], but that he was not returning [alone].
19 Tad viņš izsūtīja citu jātnieku, un tas pie tiem nonāca un sacīja: tā saka ķēniņš: vai miers? Bet Jeūs sacīja: kas tev par mieru? Stājies man iepakaļ.
So King Joram sent another messenger, who asked Jehu the same question. Again Jehu replied, “This is not the time [RHQ] for you to be concerned about acting friendly! Turn around and follow me!”
20 Tad tas vaktnieks teica un sacīja: viņš pie tiem nonācis, bet negriežas atpakaļ, un skriešana ir kā Jeūs, Nimšus dēla, skriešana, jo viņš skrien kā traks.
Then the watchman reported again, “That messenger also reached them, but he is not coming back [alone]. And [the leader of the group must be] Jehu, the son of Nimshi, because he is driving [his chariot] furiously, [like Jehu does]!”
21 Tad Jorams sacīja: iejūdziet! Tad viņa rati tapa iejūgti, un Jorams, Israēla ķēniņš, izgāja, arī Ahazija, Jūda ķēniņš, ikkatrs savos ratos, un tie izgāja Jeūm pretī un to sastapa Nābata, tā Jezreēlieša, tīrumā.
Joram said [to his soldiers], “Get [my chariot] ready!” So they did that. Then King Joram and King Ahaziah both rode toward Jehu, each one in his own chariot. And [it happened that] they met Jehu at the field that had previously belonged to Naboth!
22 Kad nu Jorams Jeū redzēja, tad viņš sacīja: vai miers, Jeū? Bet tas sacīja: kāds miers, kamēr tavas mātes Izebeles maucība un māņi augumā aug?
When Joram met Jehu, he said to him, “Are you coming on a peaceful visit?” Jehu replied, “(How can there be peace while you and your people are prostrating themselves to worship idols and practicing very much (witchcraft/sorcery) like your mother Jezebel did?/There certainly cannot be peace while you and your people are prostrating themselves to worship idols and practicing (witchcraft/sorcery) like your mother Jezebel has been doing!)” [RHQ]
23 Tad Jorams grieza apkārt un bēga un sacīja uz Ahaziju: viltus, Ahazija.
Joram cried out, “Ahaziah, they have deceived us! [They want to kill us]!” So Joram turned his chariot around and tried to flee.
24 Bet Jeūs kampa stopu rokā un šāva Joramam starp viņa pleciem, ka bulta izskrēja caur viņa sirdi, un viņš nokrita savos ratos.
But Jehu drew his bow mightily and shot [an arrow that pierced] Joram between his shoulder blades. The arrow [went through his body and] pierced his heart, and he slumped down dead in his chariot.
25 Un (Jeūs) sacīja uz savu virsnieku Bidekaru: ņem un met viņu uz Nabata, tā Jezreēlieša, tīrumu, Jo atminies, ka es un tu mēs abi jājām pakaļ viņa tēvam Ahabam, un Tas Kungs lika šo spriedumu uz viņu:
Then Jehu said to his assistant Bidkar, “Take his corpse and throw it here into the field that belonged to Naboth. [I am sure that] you remember that when you and I were riding together [in chariots] behind King Joram’s father Ahab, that Yahweh said this about Ahab:
26 Tiešām, Es vakar esmu redzējis Nābata asinis un viņa bērnu asinis, saka Tas Kungs. Un Es tev to atmaksāšu tai pašā tīrumā, saka Tas Kungs. Un nu ņem un met viņu uz to tīrumu pēc Tā Kunga vārda.
‘Yesterday I saw Ahab murder [MTY] Naboth and his sons here. And I solemnly promise that I will punish him right here in this same field!’ So take Joram’s corpse and throw it into that field! That will fulfill what Yahweh said would happen.”
27 Kad Ahazija, Jūda ķēniņš, to redzēja, tad viņš bēga pa dārza nama ceļu. Bet Jeūs tam dzinās pakaļ un sacīja: kaujiet šo arīdzan ratos! - Augšām ejot uz Guru, kas ir pie Jeblaāmas; un viņš bēga uz Meģidu un tur nomira.
When King Ahaziah saw what happened, he fled [in his chariot] toward Beth-Haggan [town]. But Jehu pursued him and said [to his other commanders], “Shoot him, also!” So they shot him [with arrows] while he was riding in his chariot on the road up to Gur, near Ibleam [town]. He continued going in his chariot until he reached Megiddo [city], where he died.
28 Un viņa kalpi to noveda uz Jeruzālemi un to apraka viņa kapā pie viņa tēviem Dāvida pilī.
His officials took his corpse back to Jerusalem and buried it in the tombs in the [part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried.
29 Jorama, Ahaba dēla, vienpadsmitā gadā Ahazija bija par ķēniņu palicis pār Jūdu.
Ahaziah had become the king of Judah when Joram had been ruling Israel for almost eleven years.
30 Un kad Jeūs nonāca Jezreēlē un Izebele to dzirdēja, tad viņa svaidīja savas acis un izgreznoja savu galvu un skatījās pa logu ārā.
Then Jehu went to Jezreel. When [Ahab’s widow] Jezebel heard what had happened, she put paint/makeup on her eyelids, and combed her hair to make it beautiful, and looked out the window [of the palace toward the street below].
31 Kad nu Jeūs pa vārtiem ienāca, tad tā sacīja: vai miers Zimrum, sava kunga slepkavam?
While Jehu was entering the city gate, she called out to him, “You [are like] Zimri! You are a murderer! [I think] you are certainly not [RHQ] coming on a peaceful visit!”
32 Un viņš pacēla savas acis uz to logu un sacīja: kas manā pusē, kas? Tad uz to skatījās kādi divi, trīs kambarjunkuri.
Jehu looked up toward the window, and then he said, “Who is (on my side/wants to help me)? Anyone?” Two or three palace officials looked down at him [from a window and pointed to themselves].
33 Un viņš sacīja: gāziet to zemē, un tie to nogāza, tā ka no viņas asinīm siena un zirgi tapa aptraipīti, un viņš to samina.
Jehu said to them, “Throw her down here!” So they threw her down, and [when she hit the ground and died], some of her blood splattered on the city wall and on the horses [that were pulling the chariots].
34 Kad nu viņš bija ienācis un ēdis un dzēris, tad viņš sacīja: lūkojiet pēc tās nolādētās un aprociet to, jo tā ir ķēniņa meita.
Then Jehu went into the palace and ate and drank. Then he said [to some of his men], “Take the corpse of that women whom Yahweh has cursed and bury it, because she is a king’s daughter [and therefore should be buried properly].”
35 Bet kad tie nogāja viņu aprakt, tad tie no tās nekā neatrada, kā vien galvaskausu, kājas un roku plaukstas.
But when they went to get her corpse to bury it, all that was left was only her skull and [the bones of] her feet and her hands. Everything else was gone.
36 Tad tie nāca atpakaļ un viņam to stāstīja, un viņš sacīja: tas ir Tā Kunga vārds, ko viņš runājis caur savu kalpu Eliju no Tizbes, sacīdams: Jezreēles tīrumā suņiem būs ēst Izebeles miesu,
When they reported this to Jehu, he said, “That is what Yahweh said would happen! He told his servant/prophet Elijah, ‘In [the city of] Jezreel, dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel’s corpse.
37 Un Izebeles maita paliks kā sūdi laukā Jezreēles tīrumā, ka nevarēs sacīt: tā ir Izebele.
Her bones will be scattered there in Jezreel like dung, with the result that no one will be able to [recognize them and] say, “These are Jezebel’s bones.”’”
