Otra Samuela 19
1 Un Joabam tapa sacīts: redzi, ķēniņš raud un žēlojās par Absalomu.
Someone told Joab that the king was crying and mourning because Absalom had died.
2 Un tā uzvara tai dienā palika par žēlabām visiem ļaudīm, jo tie ļaudis tai dienā dzirdēja sakām: ķēniņam sirds sāp par savu dēlu.
All of David’s soldiers became sad. Instead of rejoicing about defeating [the soldiers who had fought with Absalom], they were sad because they heard that the king was mourning because Absalom [was dead].
3 Un tie ļaudis tai dienā nāca zagšus pilsētā, tā kā ļaudis zagšus nāk, kas kaunā krituši, kaujā bēgdami.
The soldiers returned to the city quietly, like [SIM] soldiers do when they are ashamed because they ran away from battle.
4 Un ķēniņš savu galvu bija aptinis un sauca ar stipru balsi: ak mans dēls Absalom! Ak Absalom, mans dēls, mans dēls!
The king covered his face [with his hands] and kept crying loudly, “O, my son Absalom! O, Absalom, my son! My son!”
5 Tad Joabs nāca pie ķēniņa namā un sacīja: tu šodien esi apkaunojis visu savu kalpu vaigus, kas šodien glābuši tavu dzīvību un tavu dēlu un tavu meitu dzīvību un tavu sievu dzīvību un tavu lieko sievu dzīvību.
Then Joab entered the room where the king was, and said to the king, “Today you have caused your soldiers to be ashamed! You have humiliated the men who saved your life and the lives of your sons and daughters and your ordinary wives and your slave wives!
6 Bet tu mīļo, kas tevi ienīst, un ienīsti, kas tevi mīļo. Jo tu parādi šodien, ka virsnieki un kalpi priekš tevis nav nekas. Jo es nomanu šodien, kad tikai Absaloms būtu dzīvs un mēs visi šodien būtu miruši, tad tas tev būtu pa prātam.
[It seems that] you love those who hate you and [that] you hate those who love you. You have caused it to be clear today that your commanders and your officers are not at all important to you. I think that if Absalom were still alive and we were all dead today, you would be happy.
7 Tad celies nu un izej un runā sirsnīgi ar saviem kalpiem, jo es zvērēju pie Tā Kunga, ja tu neizej, tad neviens vīrs pie tevis nepaliks šo nakti. Un tā tev būs lielāka nelaime, nekā visa nelaime, kas tev notikusi no tavas jaunības līdz šim laikam.
So, now go and thank your soldiers [for what they did]. Because I solemnly declare that if you do not do that, none of them will still be with you by tomorrow morning and that would be worse [for you] than all the disasters/troubles that you have experienced since you were a boy.”
8 Tad ķēniņš cēlās un apsēdās vārtos. Un visiem ļaudīm tika teikts un sacīts: redzi, ķēniņš sēž vārtos. Tad visi ļaudis nāca ķēniņa priekšā. Bet Israēls bēga ikviens savā dzīvoklī.
So the king got up and went and sat near the city gate. And all the people were told, “Hey, the king is sitting at the gate!” So they all came and gathered around him. Meanwhile, all the Israeli troops [who had been with Absalom] had returned to their homes.
9 Un visi ļaudis visās Israēla ciltīs strīdējās un sacīja: ķēniņš mūs ir izglābis no mūsu ienaidnieku rokas un mūs ir atsvabinājis no Fīlistu rokas, un nu viņam no zemes bija jābēg Absaloma priekšā.
Then all the people throughout the tribes of Israel started to quarrel among themselves. They said to each other, “King David rescued us from the people of Philistia and from our other enemies. But now he has fled from Absalom and left Israel!
10 Un Absaloms, ko mēs sev bijām svaidījuši par ķēniņu, ir nomiris karā; nu tad, kāpēc jūs kavējaties, ķēniņu atkal pārvest?
We appointed [MTY] Absalom to be our king, but he died in the battle [against David’s soldiers]. So (why does someone not try to bring King David back?/surely someone should try to bring King David back.)” [RHQ]
11 Tad ķēniņš Dāvids sūtīja pie tiem priesteriem, Cadoka un Abjatara, sacīdams: runājiet uz Jūda vecajiem un sakāt: kāpēc jūs gribat tie pēdīgie būt, ķēniņu vest atpakaļ uz viņa namu? (Jo visa Israēla valoda jau bija nākusi pie ķēniņa viņa namā.)
King David [found out what the people were saying. So he] sent the two priests, Zadok and Abiathar, to say to the leaders of Judah, “The king says that he has heard that all the Israeli people [want him to be king again]. And he says, ‘(Why should you be the last ones to bring me back to my palace?/It is not right that you be the last ones to bring me back to my palace.) [RHQ]
12 Jūs esat mani brāļi, jūs esat mani kauli un manas miesas - kāpēc tad jūs gribat tie pēdīgie būt, ķēniņu atkal atvest?
You are my relatives; we have the same ancestor [IDM]. So (why should you be the last ones to bring me back?/you should certainly not be the last ones to bring me back.) [RHQ]’”
13 Un uz Amasu sakāt: vai tu neesi no maniem kauliem un no manas miesas? Lai Dievs man šā un tā dara, ja tu visu mūžu nebūsi par karalielkungu manā priekšā Joaba vietā.
And say to Amasa, “You are one of my relatives. I hope/desire that God strike me dead [IDM] if I do not appoint you to be, from now on, the commander of my army instead of Joab.”
14 Tā viņš locīja visu Jūda vīru sirdi kā viena vienīga vīra, un tie sūtīja pie ķēniņa (sacīdami): griezies atpakaļ, tu un visi tavi kalpi.
[By sending that message to them, ] David convinced all the people of Judah [IDM] [that they should (be loyal to him/accept him as their king]). So they sent a message to the king, saying “We want you and all your officials to return here.”
15 Tā ķēniņš griezās atpakaļ un nāca pie Jardānes, un Jūda nāca uz Gilgalu, ķēniņam pretī iedams, ka ķēniņu vadītu pār Jardāni pāri.
So the king [and his officials started back toward Jerusalem]. When they reached the Jordan [River], the people of Judah came there to Gilgal to meet the king, and to bring him across the river.
16 Un Šimejus, Benjaminieša Ģerus dēls, kas no Bakurim bija, steidzās un nonāca ar Jūda vīriem ķēniņam Dāvidam pretī.
Shimei, the man from the tribe of Benjamin, also came down quickly [to the river] with the people of Judah to meet King David.
17 Un tūkstoš vīri no Benjamina līdz ar viņu, ir Cībus, Saula nama sulainis, ar saviem piecpadsmit dēliem un saviem divdesmit kalpiem; un tie cēlās pāri pār Jardāni ķēniņa priekšā.
There were 1,000 men from the tribe of Benjamin who came with him. And Ziba, who had been the servant of Saul, also hurried down to the Jordan [River], bringing 20 of his servants with him. They all came to the king,
18 Un plosts pārcēlās, pārvest ķēniņa namu, un darīt, kas viņam pa prātam, un Šimejus, Ģerus dēls, nometās priekš ķēniņa zemē, kad šis pār Jardāni cēlās pāri.
and then they all [prepared to] take the king and all his family across the river, at the place where they could walk across it. They wanted to do whatever the king wanted them to do. As the king was about to cross the river, Shimei came to him and prostrated himself in front of the king.
19 Un viņš sacīja uz ķēniņu: nepielīdzini man, mans kungs, to noziegumu, un nepiemini, ka tavs kalps ir noziedzies tai dienā, kad mans kungs, tas ķēniņš, no Jeruzālemes izgāja, un lai ķēniņš to neņem pie sirds!
He said to the king, “Your Majesty, please forgive me. Please do not keep thinking about the terrible thing that I did on the day that you left Jerusalem. Do not think about it any more.
20 Jo tavs kalps to atzīst, ka esmu grēkojis; bet redzi, šodien esmu nācis tas pirmais no visa Jāzepa nama, pretī iet savam kungam, tam ķēniņam.
Because I know that I have sinned. Look, I have come today, the first one from the northern tribes to come here to greet you today, Your Majesty.”
21 Tad Abizajus, Cerujas dēls, atbildēja un sacīja: vai tad Šimeju par to nebija nokaut, ka viņš Tā Kunga svaidīto lādējis?
But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said, “He cursed the one that Yahweh appointed [MTY] to be the king! So (should he not be executed for doing that?/he certainly should be executed for doing that.)” [RHQ]
22 Tad Dāvids sacīja: kas man daļas ar jums, Cerujas dēli, ka jūs man šodien paliekat par pretiniekiem? Vai šodien kādu nokaut iekš Israēla? Vai tad es nezinu, ka es šodien esmu tapis par ķēniņu pār Israēli?
But David said, “You sons of Zeruiah, what am I going to do with you? (OR, you are not the ones who should decide [what to do to him]). [It is as though] you have become my enemies today. I know that I am the one who has now become the king of Israel, [so I say that] certainly no one [RHQ] in Israel should be executed today.”
23 Un ķēniņš sacīja uz Šimeju: tev nebūs mirt. Un ķēniņš tam zvērēja.
Then the king said to Shimei, “I solemnly promise that I will not execute you.”
24 Arī Mefibošets, Saula dēls, nonāca ķēniņam pretī. Un viņš ne savas kājas ne savu bārdu nebija tīrījis, nedz savas drēbes mazgājis no tās dienas, kad ķēniņš bija nogājis, līdz tai dienai, kad ķēniņš atkal ar mieru pārnāca.
Then Miphibosheth, Saul’s grandson, came down [to the river] to greet the king. He had not washed his feet or trimmed his beard or washed his clothes, from the time that the king left Jerusalem until the day that he returned.
25 Un kad viņš Jeruzālemē ķēniņam pretī nāca, tad ķēniņš uz to sacīja: kāpēc tu neesi man līdz nācis, Mefibošet?
When he arrived from Jerusalem to greet the king, the king said to him, “Mephibosheth, why did you not go with me?”
26 Un viņš sacīja: mans kungs un ķēniņ, mans kalps mani pievīlis, jo tavs kalps sacīja: es sev likšu ēzeli seglot un jāšu uz tā, un iešu pie ķēniņa, jo tavs kalps ir tizls.
He replied, “Your Majesty, [you know that] I am crippled. [When I heard that you were leaving Jerusalem, ] I said to my servant [Ziba], ‘Put a saddle on my donkey in order that I can ride on it and go with the king.’ But he deceived me [and left without me].
27 Un viņš tavu kalpu pie mana kunga, tā ķēniņa, arī apmelojis. Bet mans kungs, tas ķēniņš, ir kā viens Dieva eņģelis, dari, kā tev patīk.
And he lied to you about me. But, Your Majesty, you are [as wise] as God’s angel. So do whatever seems right to you.
28 Jo viss mana tēva nams tik nāves ļaudis vien bijuši priekš mana kunga, tā ķēniņa. Taču tu savu kalpu esi licis starp tiem, kas ēd pie tava galda; kādas tiesības man tad vēl ir, jeb par ko man vēl būs brēkt uz ķēniņu?
All of my grandfather’s family expected/deserved that we would be executed. But [you did not execute me; ] you allowed me to eat food with you at your table! So I certainly do not have [RHQ] the right to request you for anything more.”
29 Tad ķēniņš uz to sacīja: kāpēc tu vēl runā par savām lietām? Es esmu sacījis: tu un Cībus daliet to tīrumu.
The king replied, “You certainly do not need to say any more. I have decided that you and Ziba will divide [equally] the land [that belonged to your grandfather Saul].”
30 Un Mefibošets sacīja uz ķēniņu: lai viņš arī visu paņem, ka nu mans kungs, tas ķēniņš, atkal ar mieru savā namā pārnācis.
Mephibosheth replied to the king, “Your Majesty, [I am content that] you have returned safely. So allow him to take all the land.”
31 Un Barzilajus tas Gileādietis, nāca arīdzan no Roglim un gāja ar ķēniņu pār Jardāni, viņu pārvadīt pār Jardāni.
Barzillai, the man from [the] Gilead [region], had come down to the Jordan [River] from [his town of] Rogelim, to escort the king across the river.
32 Un Barzilajus bija ļoti vecs, pie astoņdesmit gadiem, un ķēniņu bija apgādājis, kad tas mita iekš Mahānaīm, jo viņš bija ļoti bagāts vīrs.
Barzillai was a very old man, 80 years old. He was a very wealthy man, and he had provided food for the king [and his soldiers] while they were at Mahanaim.
33 Un ķēniņš sacīja uz Barzilaju: tev būs man iet līdz, es tevi apgādāšu pie sevis Jeruzālemē.
The king said to Barzillai, “Come with me to Jerusalem, and I will take care of you.”
34 Bet Barzilajus sacīja uz ķēniņu: cik man vēl būs mūža gadu un dienu, ka man ar ķēniņu iet uz Jeruzālemi?
But Barzillai replied, “I certainly do not have [RHQ] many more years to live. So (why should I go with you to Jerusalem?/there is certainly no reason for me to go with you to Jerusalem.) [RHQ]
35 Es šodien esmu astoņdesmit gadus vecs, vai es vēl varu izšķirt, kas labs, kas nelabs? Un vai tavam kalpam vēl kāda garša, ko viņš ēd un dzer? Vai es vēl varētu sadzirdēt dziedātājus un dziedātājas? Un kāpēc tavs kalps lai ir par nastu manam kungam, tam ķēniņam?
I am now 80 years old. I do not [RHQ] know what is enjoyable and what is not enjoyable. I cannot [RHQ] enjoy what I eat and what I drink. I cannot [RHQ] hear the voices of men and women as they sing. So (why should I be another burden to you?/I do not want to be another burden to you.) [RHQ]
36 Tavs kalps ies maķenīt ar ķēniņu pār Jardāni; kāpēc ķēniņš man grib darīt tādu lielu žēlastību?
I will cross the Jordan [River] with you and go a little further, and that will be all the reward that I need [for helping you].
37 Ļauj savam kalpam griezties atpakaļ un mirt savā pilsētā pie sava tēva un pie savas mātes kapa. Un redzi, še ir tavs kalps Ķimeams, lai šis iet pāri līdz ar manu kungu, to ķēniņu, un dari tam, kā tev patīk.
Then please allow me to return to my home, because that is where I want to die, near my parents’ grave. But here is [my son] Chimham. Your Majesty, allow him to go with you [and serve you], and do for him whatever seems good to you!”
38 Tad ķēniņš sacīja: Ķimeamam būs iet man līdz, un es viņam darīšu, kā tev patīk, un visu, ko tu no manis prasīsi, es tev gribu darīt.
The king replied, “Okay, he will cross [the river] with me, and I will do for him whatever seems good to you. And I will do for you whatever you want me to do.”
39 Un kad visi ļaudis pār Jardāni bija pārgājuši, tad arī ķēniņš gāja pāri, un ķēniņš skūpstīja Barzilaju un to svētīja, un tas griezās atpakaļ uz savu vietu.
Then King David and all the others crossed the Jordan [River]. He kissed Barzillai and [asked God to] bless him. Then Barzillai returned to his home.
40 Un ķēniņš gāja tālāk uz Gilgalu, un Ķimeams tam gāja līdz, un visi Jūda ļaudis ķēniņu bija pārveduši, un arī puse no Israēla ļaudīm.
[After they crossed the river, ] Chimham went with the king, and all the army of Judah and half the army of the other Israeli tribes escorted/accompanied the king to Gilgal.
41 Un redzi, visi Israēla vīri nāca pie ķēniņa un sacīja uz ķēniņu: kāpēc mūsu brāļi, Jūda vīri, tevi ir zaguši un ķēniņu ar viņa namu pār Jardāni pārveduši līdz ar visiem Dāvida vīriem?
Then all the soldiers from the other Israeli tribes came to the king and said, “(Why is it that our relatives, the men from Judah, took you away from us and wanted to be the only ones to escort you and your family across the river, along with all your men?/It is not right that our relatives, the men from Judah, took you away from us and wanted to be the only ones to escort you and your family across the river, along with all your men.) [RHQ] [Why did you not request us to do that]?” [RHQ]
42 Tad visi Jūda vīri atbildēja Israēla vīriem: tāpēc ka ķēniņš mums ir tuvs radinieks, un kāpēc jums par to dusmas? Vai tad mēs esam dabūjuši ēst no ķēniņa, jeb vai viņš mums ir devis dāvanas?
The soldiers from Judah replied, “We did it because the king is from Judah. So (why are you angry about that?/you should not be angry about that.) [RHQ] The king has never paid for our food, and he has never given us any gifts.”
43 Un Israēla vīri atbildēja Jūda vīriem un sacīja: mums ir desmit daļas pie ķēniņa un arī pie Dāvida, mums ir vairāk nekā jums. Kāpēc tad jūs mūs esat turējuši tādā negodā? Vai mūsu vārds nav tas pirmais bijis, mūsu ķēniņu vest atpakaļ? Bet Jūda vīru valoda bija bargāka nekā Israēla vīru valoda.
The men of the other Israeli tribes replied, “[There are ten tribes in Israel, and only one in Judah. So] it is ten times more right for us to say that David [is our king] than it is for you to say that. So why are you despising us [RHQ]? We were certainly [RHQ] the first ones to talk about bringing David back [to Jerusalem to be our king again].” But the men of Judah spoke more harshly than the men from the other tribes of Israel did.
