Otra Ķēniņu 1
1 Un Moabs atkāpās no Israēla, kad Ahabs bija nomiris.
After King Ahab died, [the country of] Moab rebelled against Israel.
2 Un Ahazija nokrita caur savas augšistabas treliņiem Samarijā, un sasitās un sūtīja vēstnešus un tiem sacīja: ejat un vaicājiet BaālZebubu, Ekronas dievu, vai es palikšu vesels?
One day, Ahaziah, [the new king of Israel, ] fell through the wooden slats/boards around the edge of the flat roof [of his palace] in Samaria. He was badly injured, so he summoned some messengers and told them, “Go to Ekron [city in Philistia], and ask their god Baalzebub whether I will (recover/become well).”
3 Bet Tā Kunga eņģelis runāja uz Eliju no Tizbes: celies, ej pretī Samarijas ķēniņa vēstnešiem un runā uz tiem: vai tad Dieva nav iekš Israēla, ka jūs ejat, vaicāt BaālZebubu, Ekronas dievu?
But an angel from Yahweh said to Elijah, the prophet from Tishbe [town], “The king of Samaria [is sending] some messengers [to Ekron]. Go and meet them and say to them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, the god of those people, [whether you will recover]?
4 Tāpēc Tas Kungs tā saka: tu necelsies no tās gultas, kur tu guli, bet tev jāmirst. Un Elija aizgāja.
Yahweh says [that you should tell King Ahaziah] that he will not recover from his being injured; he will surely die.’”
5 Tā tie vēstneši nāca atpakaļ pie viņa, un viņš uz tiem sacīja: kāpēc jūs nākat atpakaļ?
[So Elijah went to meet] the messengers [and told that to them, and they] returned to the king [instead of going to Ekron]. The king asked them, “Why did you return [so soon]?”
6 Un tie uz viņu sacīja: viens vīrs mums nāca pretī un uz mums sacīja: ejat, griežaties atpakaļ pie ķēniņa, kas jūs sūtījis, un sakāt tam: tā saka Tas Kungs: vai tad nav Dieva iekš Israēla, ka tu sūti, vaicāt BaālZebubu, Ekronas dievu? Tāpēc tu necelsies no tās gultas, kur tu guli, bet tev jāmirst.
They replied, “A man came to meet us, and said to us, ‘Return to the king who sent you and tell him that Yahweh says, “(Is it because there no God in Israel that you are sending [messengers] to Ekron to consult Baalzebub, their god?/You seem to think there is no God in Israel, with the result that you are sending [messengers] to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, their god, [whether you will recover].) [RHQ] [Go tell the king that] he will not recover from being injured; instead, he will surely die.”’”
7 Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: kādu izskatu tas vīrs bija, kas jums pretī nāca un šos vārdus uz jums runāja?
The king said to them, “The man who came to meet you and told that to you, what did he look like?”
8 Un tie uz viņu sacīja: tas bija vīrs spalvas drēbēs un ar ādas jostu apjozies ap saviem gurniem. Tad viņš sacīja: tas ir Elija no Tizbes.
They replied, “He was a hairy man and he had a [wide] leather belt around his waist.” The king exclaimed, “That was Elijah!”
9 Un viņš pie tā sūtīja virsnieku pār piecdesmit un tos piecdesmit, kas tam bija. Un kad tas pie viņa nonāca, redzi, tad viņš sēdēja kalna galā, un tas uz viņu sacīja: tu Dieva vīrs, ķēniņš tev liek sacīt: nāc lejā.
Then the king sent an officer with 50 soldiers to seize Elijah. They found Elijah sitting on the top of a hill. The officer called out to him, “Prophet, the king commands that you come down here!”
10 Bet Elija atbildēja un sacīja uz to virsnieku pār tiem piecdesmit: ja es esmu Dieva vīrs, tad lai uguns krīt no debesīm un aprij tevi ar taviem piecdesmit. Tad uguns krita no debesīm un aprija to un viņa piecdesmit.
But Elijah replied, “I am a prophet; so, I command that fire come down from the sky and burn up you and your 50 soldiers!” Immediately, fire came down from the sky and completely burned up the officer and his 50 [soldiers].
11 Bet viņš pie tā sūtīja vēl otru virsnieku pār piecdesmit un tos piecdesmit, kas tam bija, un tas bildināja un uz to sacīja: tu Dieva vīrs, tā ķēniņš saka: nāc tūdaļ lejā.
[When the king found out about that, ] he sent another officer with 50 more soldiers. They went [to where Elijah was], and the officer called out to him, “Prophet, the king commands that you come down immediately!”
12 Bet Elija atbildēja un uz tiem sacīja: ja es esmu Dieva vīrs, tad lai uguns krīt no debesīm, un aprij tevi ar taviem piecdesmit. Tad Dieva uguns nokrita no debesīm un aprija to un viņa piecdesmit.
But Elijah replied, “I am a prophet; [to prove that, ] I command that fire come down from the sky and kill you and your soldiers!” Then a fire from God came down from the sky and killed the officer and his soldiers.
13 Bet viņš sūtīja atkal trešo reiz virsnieku pār piecdesmit un tos piecdesmit, kas tam bija. Un tas trešais virsnieks pār piecdesmit nāca augšām un piegāja un metās ceļos priekš Elijas, to lūdza un uz to sacīja: tu Dieva vīrs, lai jel mana dvēsele un šo tavu piecdesmit kalpu dvēseles atrod žēlastību tavās acīs.
[When the king heard about that] he sent another officer with 50 more soldiers. [They went to where Elijah was], and the officer prostrated himself in front of Elijah, and said to him, “Prophet, I plead with you, be kind to me and my 50 soldiers, and (do not kill us/allow us to remain alive)!
14 Redzi, uguns ir kritis no debesīm un aprijis tos divus pirmos virsniekus pār piecdesmit līdz ar viņu piecdesmitiem, bet nu lai jel mana dvēsele ir dārga tavās acīs.
[We know that] two times fire came down from the sky and killed officers and the 50 soldiers who were with them. So now, please be kind to me!”
15 Un Tā Kunga eņģelis sacīja uz Eliju: noej ar viņu un nebīsties no viņa. Tad viņš cēlās un ar to nogāja pie ķēniņa,
Then the angel from Yahweh said to Elijah, “Go down [and go] with him. Do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah went with them to the king.
16 Un sacīja uz to: tā saka Tas Kungs: tāpēc ka tu vēstnešus esi sūtījis, vaicāt BaālZebubu, Ekronas dievu, kā kad nebūtu Dieva iekš Israēla, kura vārdu varētu vaicāt tāpēc tu necelsies no tās gultas, kur tu guli, bet tev jāmirst.
[When Elijah arrived, ] he said to the king, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You sent messengers to go to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, their god, [whether you would recover]. You acted as though [RHQ] there is no God in Israel to consult. So you will not recover from being injured; instead, you are going to die!’”
17 Tā viņš nomira pēc Tā Kunga vārda, ko Elija bija runājis, un Jorams palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā, Jehorama, Jehošafata dēla, Juda ķēniņa, otrā gadā, jo viņam nebija dēla.
So Ahaziah died, which is what Yahweh told Elijah would happen. Ahaziah’s [younger] brother Joram became the new king, when Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, had been ruling Judah for almost two years. Ahaziah’s brother became the king because Ahaziah had no son [to become the king].
18 Un kas vēl stāstāms par Ahaziju, ko viņš darījis, tas viss rakstīts Israēla ķēniņu laiku grāmatā.
[If you want to know about] all the other things that Ahaziah did, they are [RHQ] written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
