Otra Samuela 17
1 Un Ahitofels sacīja uz Absalomu: es izlasīšu divpadsmit tūkstoš vīrus un celšos un dzīšos Dāvidam šonakt pakaļ,
Then Ahithophel said to Absalom: “I will choose for myself twelve thousand men, and rising up, I will pursue David this night.
2 Un es viņam uzbrukšu, kad viņš piekusis un viņa rokas nogurušas, un viņu izbiedēšu, ka visi ļaudis, kas pie tā ir, bēg, tad es nokaušu ķēniņu vienu pašu.
And rushing against him, for he is weary and has weakened hands, I will strike him. And when all the people who are with him will have fled, I will strike down the king in isolation.
3 Un es vedīšu visus ļaudis atpakaļ pie tevis. Kad visi būs griezušies atpakaļ, (jo viņš vien ir tas vīrs, ko tu meklē), tad visi ļaudis būs mierā.
And I will lead back the entire people, returning in the manner of one man. For you are seeking only one man. And all the people shall be in peace.”
4 Šī valoda labi patika Absalomam un visiem Israēla vecajiem.
And this word pleased Absalom and all those greater by birth of Israel.
5 Tad Absaloms sacīja: aicinājiet jel Uzaju, to Arķieti, arīdzan, un dzirdēsim, ko viņš saka.
But Absalom said, “Summon Hushai the Archite, and let us hear what he also may say.”
6 Un kad Uzajus pie Absaloma nāca, tad Absaloms uz to runāja un sacīja: tā un tā Ahitofels ir runājis, - vai mums būs pēc viņa vārda darīt, vai ne? Runā tu arīdzan!
And when Hushai had gone to Absalom, Absalom said to him: “Ahithophel has spoken a word in this manner. Should we do it or not? What counsel do you give?”
7 Tad Uzajus sacīja uz Absalomu: tas padoms, ko Ahitofels šim brīžam devis, nav labs.
And Hushai said to Absalom, “The counsel that Ahithophel has given at this time is not good.”
8 Un Uzajus sacīja: tu pazīsti savu tēvu un viņa vīrus, ka tie ir vareni un dusmīgu prātu, it tā lācis laukā, kam bērni paņemti, un tavs tēvs ir karavīrs un nepaliks naktī pie tiem ļaudīm.
And again Hushai declared, “You know your father, and the men who are with him, to be very strong and bitter in soul, comparable to a bear raging in the forest when her young have been taken away. Moreover, your father is a man of war, and so he will not live among the people.
9 Redzi, nu viņš ir paslēpies kādā alā vai citā kādā vietā; kad nu notiktu, ka tas iesākumā viņiem uzkrīt, tad ikkatrs, kas to dzirdēs, sacīs: tie ļaudis ir sakauti, kas Absalomam iet pakaļ.
Perhaps now he hides in pits, or in another place, wherever he wills. And if by chance, in the beginning, anyone may fall, whoever hears about it, no matter what he has heard, will say, ‘There is a slaughter among the people who were following Absalom.’
10 Tad ir paši varenie, kam sirds kā lauvām, baiļot baiļosies. Jo viss Israēls zina, ka tavs tēvs ir varonis, un ka tie ir stipri ļaudis, kas pie viņa.
And even the very strong, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will be weakened out of fear. For all the people of Israel know your father to be a valiant man, and that all who are with him are robust.
11 Bet mans padoms ir šis: lai pie tevis top sapulcināts viss Israēls no Dana līdz Bēršebai tādā pulkā kā smiltis jūrmalā, un tev pašam jāiet viņiem līdz karā.
But this seems to me to be the right counsel: Let all of Israel be gathered to you, from Dan to Beersheba, like the sand of the sea which is innumerable. And you will be in their midst.
12 Un kad mēs viņu sastapsim kaut kurā vietā, kur viņu atradīsim, tad uzkritīsim viņam kā rasa krīt uz zemi, un neatliks neviens no viņa un visiem vīriem, kas pie viņa.
And we shall rush against him in whatever place he will have been found. And we shall cover him, as the dew usually falls upon the ground. And we shall not leave behind even one of the men who are with him.
13 Un ja viņš metīsies kādā pilsētā, tad viss Israēls tai pilsētai apmetīs virves, un mēs to novilksim upē, ka ne zvirgzdiņš tur vairs neatradīsies.
And if he will enter into any city, all of Israel shall encircle that city with ropes. And we will pull it into the torrent, so that there may not be found even one small stone from it.”
14 Tad Absaloms un visi Israēla vīri sacīja: Uzajus, tā Arķieša, padoms ir labāks nekā Ahitofela padoms. Bet Tas Kungs tā bija nolicis, iznīcināt Ahitofela labo padomu, lai Tas Kungs nelaimi vestu pār Absalomu.
And Absalom, with all the men of Israel, said: “The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.” So, by an act of the Lord, the useful counsel of Ahithophel was defeated, in order that the Lord might lead evil over Absalom.
15 Un Uzajus sacīja uz tiem priesteriem, Cadoku un Abjataru: tā un tā Ahitofels padomu devis Absalomam un Israēla vecajiem, un tā un tā es esmu padomu devis.
And Hushai said to the priests, Zadok and Abiathar: “Ahithophel gave counsel to Absalom and to the elders of Israel in this and that manner. And I gave counsel in such and such a manner.
16 Un nu sūtait drīz un dodiet Dāvidam ziņu sacīdami: nepaliec pa nakti tuksnesī pie braslām, bet ej drīz pāri, ka ķēniņš netop aprīts ar visiem ļaudīm, kas pie viņa.
Now therefore, send quickly, and report to David, saying: ‘You shall not stay this night in the plains of the desert. Instead, without delay, go across. Otherwise the king may be engulfed, and all the people who are with him.’”
17 Un Jonatāns un Aķimaācs stāvēja pie Roģela akas. Un viena meita gāja un tiem to sacīja. Tad tie nogāja un to sacīja ķēniņam Dāvidam, jo tie nedrīkstēja nākt un rādīties pilsētā.
But Jonathan and Ahimaaz remained beside the Fountain of Rogel. And a handmaid went away and reported it to them. And they set out, so that they might carry the report to king David. For they could not be seen, nor enter into the city.
18 Un viens puisis tos redzēja un to sacīja Absalomam, bet tie gāja abi divi steigšus un nāca kāda vīra namā iekš Bakurim, tam bija aka savā pagalmā, un tie tur nokāpa.
But a certain young man saw them, and he revealed it to Absalom. Yet truly, they traveled quickly and entered into the house of a certain man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court, and they descended into it.
19 Un tā sieva ņēma un izklāja apsegu pār akas caurumu, un uzkaisīja putraimus virsū, ka neko nemanīja.
Then a woman took and spread a covering over the mouth of the well, as if drying hulled barley. And so the matter was hidden.
20 Kad nu Absaloma kalpi pie tās sievas nāca namā, tad tie sacīja: kur ir Aķimaācs un Jonatāns? Un tā sieva uz tiem sacīja: tie ir gājuši pār šo upīti. Un tie tos meklēja un neatrada, un griezās atpakaļ uz Jeruzālemi.
And when the servants of Absalom had entered into the house, they said to the woman, “Where is Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” And the woman responded to them, “They passed through hurriedly, after they had taken a little water.” But those who were seeking them, when they had not found them, returned to Jerusalem.
21 Un kad šie bija aizgājuši, tad tie izkāpa no akas un gāja un to pasacīja ķēniņam Dāvidam; un tie sacīja uz Dāvidu: ceļaties un ejat drīz pār ūdeni pāri, jo tā un tā Ahitofels pret jums ir padomu devis.
And when they had gone, they ascended from the well. And traveling, they reported to king David, and they said: “Rise up, and go across the river quickly. For Ahithophel has given a counsel of this kind against you.”
22 Tad Dāvids un visi ļaudis, kas pie viņa bija, cēlās un gāja pār Jardāni līdz pat gaismai, un neviena netrūka, kas nebūtu pār Jardāni gājis.
Therefore, David rose up, and all the people who were with him, and they crossed over the Jordan, until first light. And not even one of them was left behind who had not crossed over the river.
23 Kad nu Ahitofels redzēja, ka nedarīja pēc viņa padoma, tad viņš apsegloja savu ēzeli un cēlās un gāja uz savu namu savā pilsētā un apkopa savu namu un pakārās. Tā viņš nomira un tapa aprakts sava tēva kapā.
Then Ahithophel, seeing that his counsel had not been done, saddled his donkey, and he rose up and went away to his own house and to his own city. And putting his house in order, he killed himself by hanging. And he was buried in the sepulcher of his father.
24 Un Dāvids nāca uz Mahānaīm, bet Absaloms gāja pāri pār Jardāni, un visi Israēla vīri viņam līdz.
Then David went to the encampment, and Absalom crossed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
25 Un Absaloms cēla Amasu Joaba vietā par karaspēka virsnieku, un Amasus bija dēls vienam Israēlietim, Jetrus vārdā, kas bija gulējis pie Abigaīles, Nahasa meitas, Cerujas, Joaba mātes māsas.
Truly, Absalom appointed Amasa in place of Joab over the army. Now Amasa was the son of a man who was called Ithra of Jezrael, who entered to Abigail, the daughter of Nahash, the sister of Zeruiah, who was the mother of Joab.
26 Un Israēls un Absaloms apmetās Gileādas zemē.
And Israel made camp with Absalom in the land of Gilead.
27 Un kad Dāvids uz Mahānaīm bija nācis, tad Zobi, Nahasa dēls, no Rabas, Amona bērnu pilsētas, un Mahirs, Amiēļa dēls, no Lodabaras, un Barzilajus, tas Gileādietis, no Roglim, nesa
And when David had arrived at the encampment, Shobi, the son of Nahash, from Rabbah, of the sons of Ammon, and Machir, the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai, the Gileadite of Rogelim,
28 Guļamas drēbes un kausus un mālu traukus un kviešus un miežus un miltus un taukšētu(grauzdētu) labību un pupas un lēcas, arī taukšētas,
brought to him bedding, and tapestries, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and cooked grain, and beans, and lentils, and fried chick peas,
29 Un medu un sviestu un avis un govju sierus, ko ēst, pie Dāvida un pie tiem ļaudīm, kas pie viņa bija, jo tie sacīja: tie ļaudis būs izsalkuši un piekusuši un izslāpuši tuksnesī.
and honey, and butter, sheep and fattened calves. And they gave these to David and to the people who were with him to eat. For they suspected that the people were faint with hunger and thirst in the desert.
