Otra Samuela 14
1 Kad nu Joabs, Cerujas dēls, manīja, ka ķēniņa sirds pēc Absaloma ilgojās,
And when now Joab the son of Zeruyah perceived that the heart of the king was [turned] toward Abshalom:
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.
Then sent Joab to Tekoa', and he fetched thence a wise woman, and said to her, Feign. I pray thee, as though thou mournest, and do put on mourning garments, and anoint thyself not with oil; but be as a woman that hath these many days been mourning for the dead.
3 Un ej pie ķēniņa un runā uz to tā un tā. Un Joabs lika tos vārdus viņas mutē.
And thou must come to the king and speak with him after these words: and Joab put the words into her mouth.
4 Un tā Tekoiešu sieva sacīja uz ķēniņu, uz savu vaigu pie zemes mezdamās un klanīdamās: palīdzi, ķēniņ!
And the woman from Tekoa' spoke to the king, and fell on her face to the ground, and bowed herself, 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 said, Truly, I am a widow-woman; since my 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 hand-maid had two sons, and they two quarreled together in the field, and there was no one between them to help [either]; so 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 up against thy handmaid, and they said, Give up the slayer of his brother, that we may have him put to death, for the life of his brother whom he hath killed; and we will destroy also the heir: and thus they will quench my coal which is remaining, so as not to allow to my husband either name or remainder upon the face of 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 thy house, and I will issue [my] 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.
Then said the woman of Tekoa unto the king, On me, my Lord, O king, be the iniquity, and on my father's house: and may 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 speaketh aught 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, Let the king, I pray thee, remember the Lord thy God, so as not to suffer the avenger of the blood to cause yet more destruction, and that they may not destroy my son. And he said, As the Lord liveth, there shall not fall one hair of thy son 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 said the woman, Let thy hand-maid, I pray thee, speak unto my Lord the king one word. And he said, Speak 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 God? and since the king doth speak this thing, he is as a guilty man, if the king do not permit his banished one to return home.
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 which is spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; and yet doth God not take away life; and he deviseth thoughts, so that the banished one may not remain banished 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.
And now that I am come to speak unto my Lord the king of this thing, [happened] because the people made me afraid; and therefore thy hand-maid said, I will still speak unto the king; perhaps the king may act [in accordance with] the word of his hand-maid.
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 may hear [me], to deliver his hand-maid out of the hand of the man [that desireth] to exterminate me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.
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.
And thy hand-maid said, May the word of my Lord the king now become [the means of giving] repose; for as an angel of God, so is my Lord the king to comprehend the good and the bad: and may the Lord thy God 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 answered the king and said unto the woman, Conceal not, I pray thee, from me a word concerning what I am going to ask thee. And the woman said, Let my Lord the king but 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 Lord, O king! none can turn to the right or to the left from all that my Lord the king hath spoken; for it was thy servant Joab who hath bidden me, and it was he that hath put in the mouth of thy hand-maid all these words.
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.
In order to change the appearance of the matter hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my Lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all that is [done] on 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, thou hast done this thing: go then, bring back the young man Abshalom.
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 on his face to the ground, and bowed himself, and blessed the king: and Joab said, Today is thy servant convinced that I have found grace in thy eyes, my Lord, O king; since the king hath acted in accordance with the word of thy servant.
23 Tā Joabs cēlās un gāja uz Gešuru un atveda Absalomu uz Jeruzālemi.
And Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Abshalom 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 repair to his own house, but my face he shall not see. So Abshalom repaired to his own house, but the king's face he did not see.
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.
And like Abshalom there was no man as handsome in all Israel, so that he was greatly praised: from the sole of his foot up to the crown of his head there was no blemish on 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 shaved off [the hair of] his head [and it was at the end of every year that he shaved it off; because it was too heavy on him, so that he had to shave it off: ] he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels by the king's weight.
27 Un Absalomam piedzima trīs dēli un viena meita, Tamāra vārdā, tā bija ļoti skaista sieviete.
And there was born unto Abshalom three sons and one daughter, whose name was Thamar: this one was a woman of handsome appearance.
28 Tā Absaloms palika Jeruzālemē divus gadus un neredzēja ķēniņa vaigu.
And Abshalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and the king's face he did not see.
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.
Abshalom sent out therefore for Joab, to send him to the king; but he would not come to him: and he sent again the second time; but 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.
He thereupon said unto his servants, See, Joab's field is alongside of mine, and he hath barley there: go and set it on fire. And Abshalom'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 did Joab arise, and he went to Abshalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set the field belonging to me 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 Abshalom said to Joab, Behold, I had sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it would be better for me were I yet there: and now let me see the king's face; and if there be any iniquity in me, let him put me to death.
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 went to the king, and told it to him: and he called for Abshalom, who came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king; and the king kissed Abshalom.
