< Otra Samuela 17 >
1 Un Ahitofels sacīja uz Absalomu: es izlasīšu divpadsmit tūkstoš vīrus un celšos un dzīšos Dāvidam šonakt pakaļ,
Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me choose twelve thousand men and set off in pursuit of David tonight.
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.
I'll attack him while he is tired and weak. I'll catch him by surprise and all his men will run away. I'll only kill the king
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 bring everybody else back to you. When everybody returns apart from the one man you're after, the whole country will be at peace.”
4 Šī valoda labi patika Absalomam un visiem Israēla vecajiem.
This plan looked good to Absalom and to all the elders of Israel.
5 Tad Absaloms sacīja: aicinājiet jel Uzaju, to Arķieti, arīdzan, un dzirdēsim, ko viņš saka.
But then Absalom said, “Call in Hushai the Archite too, and let's hear what he's got to say as well.”
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!
When Hushai came in, Absalom, asked him, “Ahithophel has recommended this plan. Should we go ahead with it? If not, what's your suggestion?”
7 Tad Uzajus sacīja uz Absalomu: tas padoms, ko Ahitofels šim brīžam devis, nav labs.
“For once Ahithophel's advice isn't good,” Hushai replied.
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.
“You know what your father and his men are like. They're great fighters, and now they're as furious as a she-bear robbed of her cubs. In any case, your father is experienced in military tactics, and he won't spend the night with his men.
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.
Right now he's holed up in a cave or some place like that. If he attacks first and some of your men are killed, people who hear about it will say, ‘Absalom's men are being slaughtered.’
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.
Then even the bravest soldier who has the heart of a lion will be scared to death, because everyone in Israel knows that your father is a powerful man who has brave men with him.
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.
My recommendation is that you call up the entire Israelite army from Dan to Beersheba—an army as numerous as the sand on the seashore! Once they've assembled, then you yourself lead them into battle!
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.
Then we'll attack David wherever he is, and we'll fall on him as dew falls on the ground. Neither he nor a single one of all the men with him will be left alive!
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.
If he tries to find protection in a town, all of Israel will bring ropes to that town, and we will pull it down into the valley so that not even a stone will be left.”
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.
Absalom and all the Israelite leaders said, “Hushai the Arkite's advice is better than Ahithophel's.” For the Lord had decided to block Ahithophel's good advice in order that he might bring disaster on 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.
Hushai spoke to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, and told them, “Ahithophel has advised Absalom and the Israelite leaders to act in one way, but I have advised them to act in this different way.
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.
So send a message quickly to David and tell him, ‘Don't wait and spend the night at the fords of the wilderness, but cross over immediately or the king and everybody with him will be destroyed.’”
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.
Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En-rogel because they couldn't be seen entering the city. A servant girl would come and tell them what was happening. Then they would go and let King David know.
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 boy did see them and he told Absalom. So the two left immediately and went to the house of a man in the town of Bahurim. He had a well in his courtyard, and they climbed into it.
19 Un tā sieva ņēma un izklāja apsegu pār akas caurumu, un uzkaisīja putraimus virsū, ka neko nemanīja.
His wife took a cloth to cover the well and spread it out over the opening and then scattered grain over it. No one knew the men were there.
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.
When Absalom's officers arrived they asked the woman, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” “They crossed over the stream,” she replied. The men searched for them but didn't find them, so they went back 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.
After Absalom's officers left, the two men climbed out of the well and rushed off to give the king their message. “Have everybody get up and cross the river right away, for Ahithophel's advice is to attack you immediately.”
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.
David and everybody with him got up and crossed the Jordan. By the time it got light there wasn't anybody who hadn't crossed over.
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.
When Ahithophel realized that his advice had been ignored, he saddled up his donkey and left for his home in the town where he lived. He put his affairs in order and then he hanged himself. He died and was buried in his father's tomb.
24 Un Dāvids nāca uz Mahānaīm, bet Absaloms gāja pāri pār Jardāni, un visi Israēla vīri viņam līdz.
David went on to Mahanaim, and Absalom crossed over the Jordan with the entire Israelite army.
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.
Absalom had put Amasa in charge of the army to replace Joab. Amasa was the son of a man named Ithra, the Ishmaelite who lived with Abigail, the daughter of Nahash and sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother.
26 Un Israēls un Absaloms apmetās Gileādas zemē.
The Israelites under Absalom set up camp 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
When David arrived at Mahanaim, he was welcomed by Shobi, son of Nahash, from Rabbah of the Ammonites, Machir, son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from 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,
They brought bedding, bowls, and clay jars, as well as wheat, barley, flour, roasted grain, beans, lentils,
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.
honey, curds, sheep, and cheese made from cow's milk for David and the people with him to eat. For they said, “The people are hungry, tired, and thirsty from their time in the wilderness.”
