Otra Samuela 15
1 Un pēc tam Absaloms sev sagādāja ratus un zirgus un piecdesmit vīrus, kas viņa priekšā skrēja.
Sometime later, Absalom got himself a chariot with horses, and fifty men as bodyguards to run ahead of him.
2 Un Absaloms cēlās no rīta agri un nostājās ceļā pie vārtiem, un ja kam bija kāda tiesas lieta, par ko viņš pie ķēniņa nāca tiesāties, tad Absaloms to aicināja pie sevis un sacīja: no kuras pilsētas tu esi? Un kad tas sacīja: tavs kalps ir no šīs jeb tās Israēla cilts,
He used to get up early and stand by the main road that led to the city gate. When people brought a case to the king for his decision, Absalom would call out and ask them, “What town are you from?” If they replied, “Your servant is from this particular tribe of Israel,”
3 Tad Absaloms uz to sacīja: redzi, tava lieta ir laba un taisna, bet tev nav izklausinātāja pie ķēniņa.
Absalom would tell them, “Look, you're in the right and you've got a good case. It's such a shame there's no one from the king to hear you.”
4 Un Absaloms uz to sacīja: ak! Kas mani celtu par zemes soģi, lai, ja kam kāds strīdus vai tiesas lieta būtu, nāktu pie manis un es tam gādātu taisnību!
Then he would say, “If only there was someone to appoint me as judge for the country. Then everyone could come to me with their case or complaint, and I would give them justice.”
5 Un kad kāds pie viņa nāca un metās zemē, tad viņš izstiepa savu roku un to satvēra un to skūpstīja.
When anyone came to bow down before him, Absalom would stop them by reaching out his hand, taking hold of him, and kissing him.
6 Tā Absaloms darīja visam Israēlim, kas pie ķēniņa nāca tiesāties. Tā Absaloms zaga sirdi Israēla vīriem.
This is how Absalom treated all the Israelites who came to the king for his judgment. So he captured the loyalty of the men of Israel.
7 Un pēc četriem gadiem Absaloms sacīja uz ķēniņu: es gribu noiet un savu apsolījumu Hebronē izpildīt, ko es Tam Kungam solījis.
Four years later Absalom asked the king, “Please let me go to Hebron to fulfill a promise I made to the Lord.
8 Jo tavs kalps ir solījumu solījis, kad es Gešurā Sīrijā dzīvoju, sacīdams: ja Tas Kungs mani tiešām vedīs atpakaļ uz Jeruzālemi, tad es kalpošu Tam Kungam.
For I, your servant, made this promise while living at Geshur in Aram, saying: ‘If the Lord does bring me back to Jerusalem, I will worship the Lord in Hebron.’”
9 Tad ķēniņš uz to sacīja: ej ar mieru. Un viņš cēlās un gāja uz Hebroni.
“Go in peace,” said the king. So Absalom went to Hebron.
10 Un Absaloms sūtīja izlūkus pie visām Israēla ciltīm un sacīja: kad jūs dzirdēsiet trumetes skaņu, tad jums būs sacīt: Absaloms ir ķēniņš Hebronē.
Then Absalom sent his accomplices among all the tribes of Israel, saying, “When you hear the sound of the ram's horn, you shout, ‘Absalom is king at Hebron!’”
11 Un ar Absalomu gāja divsimt vīri no Jeruzālemes, kas bija aicināti, bet tie gāja savā vientiesībā un nezināja it nenieka.
Two hundred men from Jerusalem went with Absalom. They had been invited and went in all innocence, because they didn't know anything about what was planned.
12 Absaloms sauca arī Ahitofelu no Ģilus, Dāvida padoma devēju, no viņa pilsētas Ģilus, kad viņš upurus upurēja. Un dumpinieku derība palika stipra un ļaudis pulcējās un vairojās pie Absaloma.
While Absalom was offering sacrifices, he sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's advisor, asking him to come from Giloh, the town where he lived. The conspiracy grew stronger, and Absalom's followers went on increasing.
13 Tad nāca vēstnesis pie Dāvida un sacīja: visu Israēla vīru sirds pieķērusies Absalomam.
A messenger came to tell David, “Absalom has the loyalty of the men of Israel.”
14 Tad Dāvids sacīja uz visiem saviem kalpiem, kas pie viņa bija Jeruzālemē: ceļaties un bēgsim, citādi mums glābšanās nav priekš Absaloma; ejat steigšus, ka viņš steigdamies mūs nepanāk un nepadara mums nelaimi un nekauj to pilsētu ar zobena asmeni.
David said to all the officials with him in Jerusalem, “Quick! Let's go! Otherwise we won't be able to get away from Absalom! We must leave immediately, or he will soon catch up with us, attack us, and kill the people here in the city.”
15 Tad ķēniņa kalpi uz ķēniņu sacīja: tā kā mans kungs, tas ķēniņš, nodomā, redzi, mēs esam tavi kalpi.
“Whatever Your Majesty decides, we'll do what you want,” the king's servants replied.
16 Un ķēniņš izgāja ar visu savu namu kājām. Un ķēniņš atstāja desmit liekas sievas, to namu sargāt.
The king set off with his whole household following him, but he left behind ten concubines to look after the palace.
17 Tā nu ķēniņš ar visiem ļaudīm kājām izgāja un apstājās pie pēdējā nama.
The king left with all his soldiers following him. He stopped at the last house,
18 Un visi viņa kalpi gāja viņam līdzās, ir visi Krieti un visi Plieti ir visi Gatieši, sešsimt vīri, kas viņam no Gatas bija līdz nākuši, tie gāja ķēniņa priekšā.
and all his men marched past him, including all the Cherethites and Pelethites, and six hundred Gittites who had come with him from Gath.
19 Tad ķēniņš sacīja uz Itaju no Gatas. Kam tu arīdzan mums gribi iet līdz? Ej atpakaļ un paliec pie ķēniņa, jo tu esi svešinieks un tik ienācējs savā vietā.
The king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why are you coming with us too? Go back and stay with the new king, because you are a foreigner and an exile a long way from home.
20 Vakar tu esi atnācis, vai man šodien tevi būs maldināt, mums iet līdz? Jo es eju, kur varēdams; ej atpakaļ un ved savus brāļus līdz atpakaļ; žēlastība un uzticība lai ir ar tevi.
You only just got here, so why should I make you wander around with us now when I don't even know where I am going? Go back and take your men with you. May the Lord show you kindness and faithfulness.”
21 Bet Itajus atbildēja ķēniņam un sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvs, un kā mans kungs, tas ķēniņš, dzīvs, - tai vietā, kur mans kungs, tas ķēniņš, būs, lai būtu vai uz nāvi vai uz dzīvību, tur būs tavs kalps arīdzan.
But Ittai answered the king, “As the Lord lives, and as Your Majesty lives, wherever Your Majesty may be, whether dead or alive, that's where your servant will be!”
22 Un Dāvids sacīja uz Itaju: nāc tad, iesim! Tā Itajus no Gatas gāja līdz ar visiem saviem vīriem un ar visiem bērniem, kas pie viņa bija.
“Go ahead, march on!” David replied. Ittai the Gittite marched past with all his men and all the families that were with him.
23 Un visa zeme raudāja lielas raudas, un visi ļaudis gāja garām. Un ķēniņš gāja pāri pār Kidronas upi, un visi ļaudis gāja pāri pa to ceļu uz tuksnesi.
All the people in the countryside were crying aloud as everyone with David passed by. They crossed the Kidron Valley with the king on the way toward the wilderness.
24 Un redzi, arī Cadoks tur bija ar visiem Levitiem, kas Dieva derības šķirstu nesa; un tie nolika Dieva šķirstu un Abjatars tur pienāca - kamēr visi ļaudis no pilsētas bija izgājuši.
Zadok was there too, and all the Levites were with him, carrying the Ark of God's Agreement. They set down the Ark of God, and Abiathar offered sacrifices until everyone had left the city.
25 Tad ķēniņš sacīja uz Cadoku: nes Dieva šķirstu atpakaļ pilsētā. Ja es žēlastību atradīšu Tā Kunga priekšā, tad Viņš mani vedīs atpakaļ un man liks redzēt Viņu pašu ar Viņa dzīvokli.
Then the king told Zadok, “Take the Ark of God back to the city. If I find the Lord approves of me, he will bring me back and let me see both the Ark and his Tent again.
26 Bet ja Viņš tā sacīs: Man nav labs prāts pie tevis, - redzi, še es esmu, lai Viņš man dara, kā Viņam patīk.
But if he says, ‘I'm not happy with you,’ then here I stand. Let him do to me whatever he thinks best.”
27 Un ķēniņš sacīja uz priesteri Cadoku: tu redzētāj, ej atpakaļ uz pilsētu ar mieru, un Aķimaācs, tavs dēls, un Jonatāns, Abjatara dēls, jūsu abi dēli ar jums.
The king also told Zadok the priest, “You understand the situation, don't you? Go back to the city safely with your son Ahimaaz, and also Jonathan, son of Abiathar. You and Abiathar take both of your sons back with you.
28 Redziet, es gaidīšu tuksnesī pie braslām, tiekams kāda vēsts no jums atnāks un man dos ziņu.
I'll wait at the fords of the wilderness until I hear from you.”
29 Tā Cadoks un Abjatars Dieva šķirstu nesa atpakaļ uz Jeruzālemi un tur palika.
Zadok and Abiathar took the Ark of God back to Jerusalem and remained there.
30 Un Dāvids kāpa uz Eļļas kalnu un iedams raudāja un savu galvu bija aptinis un gāja pats basām kājām, arī tie ļaudis, kas pie viņa bija, ikkatrs savu galvu bija aptinis un gāja uz augšu un iedami raudāja.
David went on his way up the Mount of Olives, weeping as he did so. He had his head covered, and walked barefoot. All the people with him covered their heads, weeping as they went along.
31 Un Dāvidam teica un sacīja: Ahitofels ir starp dumpiniekiem pie Absaloma. Tad Dāvids sacīja: Kungs, dari jel Ahitofela padomu par ģeķību!
David was told, “Ahithophel is one of the people conspiring with Absalom.” So David prayed, “Lord, please make Ahithophel's advice worthless.”
32 Kad nu Dāvids nāca kalna galā, kur mēdza Dievu pielūgt, redzi, tad Uzajus, tas Arķiets, viņam nāca pretī ar saplēstiem svārkiem un zemi uz galvas.
When David arrived at the top of the Mount of Olives, where people worshiped God, there to meet him was Hushai the Archite, with his robe torn and with dust on his head.
33 Un Dāvids uz to sacīja: ja tu man nāksi līdz, tad tu man būsi par nastu.
David told him, “If you come with me, you'll only be a burden to me,
34 Bet ja tu iesi atpakaļ pilsētā un sacīsi uz Absalomu: es būšu tavs kalps, ķēniņ, kā citkārt esmu bijis tava tēva kalps, tā nu es būšu tavs kalps, - tad tu man iznīcināsi Ahitofela padomu.
but if you go back to the city and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, Your Majesty! Formerly I worked for your father, but now I'll work for you,’ then you can block Ahithophel's advice for me.
35 Un vai tur pie tevis nebūs tie priesteri Cadoks un Abjatars? Tāpēc visu, ko tu ķēniņa namā dzirdēsi, to saki tiem priesteriem, Cadokam un Abjataram.
Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, will be there too. Tell them everything you hear in the king's palace.
36 Redzi, tur ir viņu abi dēli, Aķimaācs Cadoka, un Jonatāns, Abjatara dēls, caur tiem jūs visu, ko dzirdat, sūtat pie manis.
Their two sons, Ahimaaz and Jonathan, are there with them. Send them to me so they can tell me everything you hear.”
37 Tā Uzajus, Dāvida draugs, gāja pilsētā, kad Absaloms nāca uz Jeruzālemi.
David's friend Hushai arrived back in Jerusalem at the same time Absalom was entering the city.
