Otra Samuela 14
1 Kad nu Joabs, Cerujas dēls, manīja, ka ķēniņa sirds pēc Absaloma ilgojās,
Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was toward Absalom.
2 Tad Joabs sūtīja uz Tekou un dabūja no turienes gudru sievu un uz to sacīja: liecies jel žēlojoties un apvelc sēru drēbes un nesvaidies ar eļļu un turies kā sieva, kas sen dienas sērojās par mironi.
And Joab sent to Tekoah, and fetched thence a wise woman, and said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on now mourning apparel, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the dead:
3 Un ej pie ķēniņa un runā uz to tā un tā. Un Joabs lika tos vārdus viņas mutē.
And come to the king, and speak on this manner unto him. So Joab put the words in her mouth.
4 Un tā Tekoiešu sieva sacīja uz ķēniņu, uz savu vaigu pie zemes mezdamās un klanīdamās: palīdzi, ķēniņ!
And when the woman of Tekoah spake to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, Help, O king.
5 Un ķēniņš uz to sacīja: kas tev kait? Un viņa sacīja: kait gan, esmu atraitne un mans vīrs miris.
And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, I am indeed a widow woman, and mine husband is dead.
6 Un tad vēl tavai kalponei bija divi dēli, tie abi bārās laukā un tiem nebija starpnieka, tad viens sita otru un to nokāva.
And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other, and slew him.
7 Un redzi, visi radi cēlās pret tavu kalponi un saka: dod šurp to, kas savu brāli nokāvis, lai mēs viņu nokaujam par tā brāļa dzīvību, ko viņš nokāvis, un izdeldam arī šo mantinieku. Tā tie grib izdzēst manu dzirkstelīti, kas atlikusi, un neatstāt manam vīram ne vārda, ne pēcnākamais virs zemes.
And, behold, the whole family is risen against thine handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him, for the life of his brother whom he slew; and we will destroy the heir also: and so they shall quench my coal which is left, and shall not leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the earth.
8 Tad ķēniņš uz to sievu sacīja: ej mājās, gan es tevis pēc pavēlēšu.
And the king said unto the woman, Go to thine house, and I will give charge concerning thee.
9 Un tā Tekoiešu sieva sacīja uz ķēniņu: mans kungs un ķēniņ, lai tas noziegums paliek uz manis un uz mana tēva nama, bet ķēniņš un viņa goda krēsls lai paliek nenoziedzīgs.
And the woman of Tekoah said unto the king, My master, O king, the iniquity be on me, and on my father's house: and the king and his throne be guiltless.
10 Un ķēniņš sacīja: ja kas pret tevi runā, tad atved to pie manis, tad tam tevi vairs nebūs aizskart.
And the king said, Whosoever saith ought unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more.
11 Un viņa sacīja: lai jel ķēniņš piemin To Kungu, savu Dievu, ka asins atriebēji nevairo to postu, ka tie manu dēlu nenomaitā. Tad viņš sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvs, neviens no tava dēla matiem nekritīs pie zemes!
Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember YHWH thy Elohim, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As YHWH liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.
12 Tad tā sieva sacīja: lai jel tava kalpone vienu vārdu uz savu kungu, to ķēniņu, runā. Un viņš sacīja: runā!
Then the woman said, Let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak one word unto my master the king. And he said, Say on.
13 Un tā sieva sacīja: kāpēc tad tu tādu lietu esi nodomājis pret Dieva ļaudīm? Kad ķēniņš šo vārdu runājis, caur to viņš ir tā kā noziedzīgs, tāpēc ka ķēniņš savu atmesto neatved atpakaļ.
And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of Elohim? for the king doth speak this thing as one which is faulty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished.
14 Jo mirt mums jāmirst un mēs esam kā ūdens, kas zemē izliets netop atkal sasmelts, un Dievs negrib dzīvību atņemt, bet domā uz to, ka neatmet arīdzan tādu, kas atmests.
For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth Elohim respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.
15 Nu tad es esmu nākusi ar savu kungu, to ķēniņu, šo vārdu runāt, jo tie ļaudis mani ir izbiedējuši. Tad tava kalpone sacīja: es runāšu jel ar ķēniņu, vai ķēniņš nedarīs, ko viņa kalpone saka.
Now therefore that I am come to speak of this thing unto my master the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid.
16 Jo ķēniņš klausīs un izpestīs savu kalponi no tā vīra rokas, kas apņēmies mani un manu dēlu kopā izdeldēt no Dieva tautas.
For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of Elohim.
17 Un tava kalpone domāja, lai mana kunga, tā ķēniņa, vārds man ir par iepriecināšanu, jo mans kungs, tas ķēniņš, ir kā Dieva eņģelis, klausīdamies labu un ļaunu; bet Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, lai ir ar tevi.
Then thine handmaid said, The word of my master the king shall now be comfortable: for as an angel of Elohim, so is my master the king to discern good and bad: therefore YHWH thy Elohim will be with thee.
18 Tad ķēniņš atbildēja un sacīja uz to sievu: neslēp man nekā, ko es tev vaicāšu. Un tā sieva sacīja: runā jel, mans kungs un ķēniņ!
Then the king answered and said unto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my master the king now speak.
19 Un ķēniņš sacīja: vai Joaba roka ar tevi nav visās šinīs lietās? Tad tā sieva atbildēja un sacīja: tik tiešām kā tava dvēsele dzīva, mans kungs un ķēniņ, citādi nav ne pa labo ne pa kreiso roku ar visu to, kā mans kungs, tas ķēniņš, ir runājis; jo tavs kalps Joabs vien, tas man to ir pavēlējis un visus šos vārdus licis tavas kalpones mutē.
And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my master the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from ought that my master the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid:
20 Šīs lietas nodomu gribēdams apslēpt, tavs kalps Joabs to ir darījis. Bet mans kungs ir gudrs pēc Dieva eņģeļa gudrības, zināt visu, kas virs zemes notiek.
To fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my master is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of Elohim, to know all things that are in the earth.
21 Un ķēniņš sacīja uz Joabu: redzi, es šo lietu esmu darījis. Ej tad un atved to puisi Absalomu atpakaļ.
And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom again.
22 Un Joabs klanījās uz savu vaigu pie zemes mezdamies un pateicās ķēniņam, un Joabs sacīja: šodien tavs kalps ir manījis, ka es žēlastību esmu atradis tavās acīs, mans kungs un ķēniņ, tāpēc ka ķēniņš sava kalpa vārdu paklausījis.
And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed himself, and thanked the king: and Joab said, To day thy servant knoweth that I have found favour in thy sight, my master, O king, in that the king hath fulfilled the request of his servant.
23 Tā Joabs cēlās un gāja uz Gešuru un atveda Absalomu uz Jeruzālemi.
So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
24 Un ķēniņš sacīja: lai viņš iet savā namā un nenāk priekš manām acīm. Tad Absaloms gāja savā namā un neredzēja ķēniņa vaigu.
And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom returned to his own house, and saw not the king's face.
25 Bet tāda vīra, tik skaista un ļoti slavējama kā Absaloms, nebija pa visu Israēli; no pēdām līdz galvas galam nekādas vainas pie viņa nebija.
But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
26 Un kad viņš savu galvu apcirpa, (tas notika gadu no gada, ka viņš to apcirpa, jo mati viņam bija visai smagi, tāpēc viņš tos nocirpa), tad viņa galvas mati svēra divsimt sēķeļus pēc ķēniņa svara.
And when he polled his head, (for it was at every year's end that he polled it: because the hair was heavy on him, therefore he polled it: ) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king's weight.
27 Un Absalomam piedzima trīs dēli un viena meita, Tamāra vārdā, tā bija ļoti skaista sieviete.
And unto Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance.
28 Tā Absaloms palika Jeruzālemē divus gadus un neredzēja ķēniņa vaigu.
So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king's face.
29 Tāpēc Absaloms sūtīja pie Joaba, ka viņš to pie ķēniņa sūtītu, bet tas negribēja nākt pie viņa. Tad viņš sūtīja vēl otrreiz, un tas vēl negribēja nākt.
Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to have sent him to the king; but he would not come to him: and when he sent again the second time, he would not come.
30 Tad viņš sacīja uz saviem kalpiem: redzi, Joaba tīrums ir pie mana klātu, un viņam tur ir mieži; ejat un iededzinājiet to ar uguni. Tad Absaloma kalpi iededzināja to tīrumu ar uguni.
Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Joab's field is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire. And Absalom's servants set the field on fire.
31 Un Joabs cēlās un nāca Absaloma namā un uz to sacīja: kāpēc tavi kalpi manu tīrumu ar uguni ir iededzinājuši?
Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire?
32 Un Absaloms sacīja uz Joabu: redzi, es pie tevis esmu sūtījis sacīdams: nāc šurp, ka es tevi pie ķēniņa sūtu un lieku sacīt, kāpēc es esmu nācis no Gešuras? Man būtu labāki, ka es vēl tur būtu. Bet nu es gribu ķēniņa vaigu redzēt, un ja vēl kāds noziegums ir pie manis, tad lai viņš mani nokauj.
And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it had been good for me to have been there still: now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there be any iniquity in me, let him kill me.
33 Tad Joabs gāja pie ķēniņa un viņam to teica. Tad viņš aicināja Absalomu, un tas nāca pie ķēniņa un nometās uz savu vaigu pie zemes ķēniņa priekšā, un ķēniņš skūpstīja Absalomu.
So Joab came to the king, and told him: and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom.
