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, “Allow me to choose 12,000 men, and I will leave [with them] tonight to pursue David.
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.
We will attack him while he is tired and discouraged, and cause him to be very frightened. All the soldiers who are with him will run away. We will kill only 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.
Then we will bring back all his soldiers to you, like [SIM] a (bride/woman comes to her husband when she is married). You are wanting to kill only one man; so the other people will not be harmed.”
4 Šī valoda labi patika Absalomam un visiem Israēla vecajiem.
Absalom and all the Israeli leaders [who were with him] thought that what Ahithophel said would be good to do.
5 Tad Absaloms sacīja: aicinājiet jel Uzaju, to Arķieti, arīdzan, un dzirdēsim, ko viņš saka.
But Absalom said, “Summon Hushai also, and we will hear what he suggests.”
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!
So when Hushai arrived, Absalom told him what Ahithophel had suggested. Then he asked Hushai, “What do you think we should do? If you do not think that we should do what Ahithophel suggests, tell us [what you think that we should do].”
7 Tad Uzajus sacīja uz Absalomu: tas padoms, ko Ahitofels šim brīžam devis, nav labs.
Hushai replied, “This time what Ahithophel has suggested is not good advice.
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 that your father and the men who are with him are strong soldiers, and that now they are very angry, like [SIM] a mother bear whose cubs have been stolen from her. Furthermore, your father knows how to fight because he has fought in many battles. He will not stay with his troops during the night.
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 is probably already hiding in one of the pits, or in some other place. [If his soldiers start to attack your soldiers, and] if they kill some of them, whoever hears about that will say ‘Many of the soldiers with Absalom have been killed!’
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 your other soldiers, even if they are as fearless [SIM, IDM] as lions, they will become very afraid. Do not forget that everyone in Israel knows that your father is a great/strong soldier, and that the soldiers who are with him are also very brave/courageous.
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.
“So what I suggest is that you summon all the Israeli soldiers, from Dan [in the far north] to Beersheba [in the far south]. They will be as many as the grains of sand on the seashore [HYP]. And then you yourself lead us into the 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.
We will find [your father], wherever he is, and we will attack him [from all sides], like [SIM] dew covers all the ground. And neither he nor any of the soldiers who are with him will survive.
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 escapes into some city, all our soldiers will bring ropes and pull that city down into the valley. As a result, not one stone will be left there [on top of the hill where that city was]!”
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 other Israeli men [who were with him] said, “What Hushai suggests is better than what Ahithophel suggested.” The reason that happened was that Yahweh had determined that if they would accept the good advice that Ahithophel had given them, [they would have been able to defeat/kill David]. But [as a result of their doing what Hushai suggested], Yahweh would cause a disaster to happen to 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.
Then Hushai told the two priests, Zadok and Abiathar, what both he and Ahithophel had suggested to Absalom and the Israeli leaders.
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.
Then he said to them, “Send [a message] quickly to David. Tell him to not stay at the place where people walk across the river, near the desert. Instead, he and his soldiers must cross [the Jordan River] immediately, in order that they will not be killed/wiped out.”
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.
[The priest’s two sons, ] Jonathan and Ahimaaz, were waiting at En-Rogel [Spring], outside Jerusalem. They did not [dare to] enter the city, because if someone saw them, [he would report it to Absalom]. [While they were at En-Rogel, ] a female servant [of the two priests] would frequently go to them and report to them [what was happening], and then they would go and report it to King David.
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 young man saw them, and went and reported it to Absalom. [They found out what the young man had done, ] so both of them left quickly and went to stay in the house of a man in Bahurim. That man had a well in his courtyard; so the two men went down into the well [to hide].
19 Un tā sieva ņēma un izklāja apsegu pār akas caurumu, un uzkaisīja putraimus virsū, ka neko nemanīja.
The man’s wife took a cloth/mat and covered the well, and scattered grain on top of it in order that no one would know [that two men were hiding inside it].
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.
Some of Absalom’s soldiers [found out where the two men had gone. So they] went to the house, and asked the woman, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” She replied, “They crossed the river.” So the soldiers [crossed the river and] searched for them. But they could not find them, so they 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.
After they had gone, the two men came out of the well and went and reported to King David [what had happened and] what Ahithophel had suggested. Then they said to him, “Cross the river quickly!”
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.
So David and all his soldiers quickly started to cross the Jordan [River], and by dawn they had all crossed to the other side.
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 Absalom was not going to do what he suggested, he put a saddle on his donkey and returned to his own town. He gave [to his family] instructions about his possessions, and then he hanged himself [because he knew that Absalom would be defeated and that he would be considered a traitor and be killed]. His body was buried in the tomb where his ancestors [had been buried].
24 Un Dāvids nāca uz Mahānaīm, bet Absaloms gāja pāri pār Jardāni, un visi Israēla vīri viņam līdz.
David [and his soldiers] arrived at Mahanaim. And Absalom [and all his Israeli soldiers] also crossed the Jordan [River].
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 appointed [his cousin] Amasa to be the commander of his army, instead of Joab. Amasa was the son of a man named Jether, a descendant of Ishmael. Amasa’s mother was Abigail, the daughter of Nahash and the sister of Joab’s mother Zeruiah.
26 Un Israēls un Absaloms apmetās Gileādas zemē.
Absalom and his Israeli soldiers set up their tents in [the] Gilead [region].
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 [and his soldiers] arrived at Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah [city] in the Ammon area, and Machir the son of Ammiel from Lo-Debar [city], and Barzillai from Rogelim [town] in [the] Gilead [region]
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 sleeping mats, bowls, clay pots, barley, wheat flour, parched grain, beans, and lentils to them.
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.
They brought honey and curds, sheep, and some cream/cheese for David and his soldiers to eat. They knew that David and his soldiers would be hungry and tired and thirsty [from marching] in the desert.
