Otra Samuela 2
1 Pēc tam Dāvids To Kungu vaicāja un sacīja: vai man būs iet uz vienu no Jūda pilsētām? Un Tas Kungs uz to sacīja: ej. Tad Dāvids sacīja: uz kurieni man būs iet? Un Viņš sacīja: uz Hebroni.
Sometime after this, David asked the Lord, “Should I go to one of the towns of Judah?” “Yes, do it,” the Lord replied. “Which one should I go to?” David asked. “Go to Hebron,” said the Lord.
2 Tad Dāvids cēlās uz turieni līdz ar savām divām sievām, Aķinoamu, to Jezreēlieti, un Abigaīli, Nābala, tā Karmelieša, sievu.
So David moved there with his two wives, Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail, Nabal's widow from Carmel.
3 Un Dāvids arī saviem vīriem, kas pie viņa bija, ikkatram ar savu namu lika iet uz turieni; un tie dzīvoja Hebrones pilsētās.
He also brought the men who were with him, along with their families, and they settled in the villages near Hebron.
4 Un tie Jūda vīri nāca un Dāvidu tur svaidīja Jūda namam par ķēniņu.
Then the men of Judah came to Hebron, and there they anointed David king of the people of Judah. When David found out that it was the men from Jabesh Gilead who had buried Saul,
5 Un Dāvidam stāstīja un sacīja: Jabesas vīri Gileādā Saulu ir aprakuši. Tad Dāvids sūtīja vēstnešus pie tiem Jabesas vīriem Gileādā un tiem lika sacīt: svētīti jūs esat Tam Kungam, ka jūs šo mīlestību esat parādījuši savam kungam Saulam un viņu esat aprakuši.
he sent messengers to them, saying, “May the Lord bless you, because you demonstrated your loyal love to Saul your master, and you buried him properly.
6 Tad lai nu Dievs jums atkal parāda mīlestību un uzticību, un es arīdzan jums gribu labu darīt par to, ka jūs tā esat darījuši.
Now may the Lord show you loyal love and trustworthiness, and I will also be good to you because of what you did for Saul.
7 Un nu stiprinājiet savas rokas un esiet droši; jo, kad jūsu kungs Sauls nu ir miris, tad Jūda nams mani svaidījis sev par ķēniņu.
So be strong and be brave, for even though Saul your master is dead, the people of Judah have anointed me as their king.”
8 Bet Abners, Nera dēls, Saula kara lielskungs, ņēma Išbošetu, Saula dēlu, un to pārveda uz Mahānaīm,
However, Abner, son of Ner, commander of Saul's army, had taken Ishbosheth, son of Saul, to Mahanaim.
9 Un to iecēla par ķēniņu pār Gileādu un pār tiem Asuriešiem un pār Jezreēli un pār Efraīmu un pār Benjaminu un pār visu Israēli.
There he set up Ishbosheth as king over Gilead, Asher, Jezreel, Ephraim, and Benjamin, in fact over all Israel.
10 Četrdesmit gadus Išbošets, Saula dēls, bija vecs, kad viņš palika Israēlim par ķēniņu, un viņš valdīja divus gadus; bet tie no Jūda nama turējās pie Dāvida.
Ishbosheth, son of Saul, was forty when he became king over Israel, and he reigned for two years. However, the people of Judah were on David's side.
11 Un viss tas laiks, kamēr Dāvids Hebronē bijis ķēniņš pār Jūda namu, ir septiņi gadi un seši mēneši.
David ruled in Hebron as king over the people of Judah for seven years and six months.
12 Un Abners, Nera dēls, izgāja ar Išbošeta, Saula dēla, kalpiem no Mahānaīm uz Gibeonu.
One day Abner and Ishbosheth's men left Mahanaim and went to the town of Gibeon.
13 Un Joabs, Cerujas dēls, izgāja arīdzan ar Dāvida kalpiem, un tie sastapās pie Gibeonas dīķa, un palika viens šaipus dīķa un otrs viņpus dīķa.
Joab, son of Zeruiah, and David's men set off and met them at the pool of Gibeon, where they all sat down, facing each other across the pool.
14 Un Abners sacīja uz Joabu: lai jel tie puiši ceļas un cīkstas mūsu priekšā. Tad Joabs sacīja: lai ceļas.
Abner said to Joab, “Why not let's have some of the men fight in hand to hand combat before us.” “Fine,” Joab agreed.
15 Tad cēlās un nogāja pēc skaita divpadsmit par Benjaminu un Išbošetu, Saula dēlu, un divpadsmit no Dāvida kalpiem.
So twelve men came forward from each side—twelve for Benjamin and Ishbosheth, and twelve for David.
16 Un tie sagrāba viens otru pie galvas un iedūra savu zobenu otram sānos, un tie krita visi reizē, un šī vieta tapa nosaukta Elkat-Acurim (asmeņu tīrums), kas ir pie Gibeonas.
Each man grabbed his opponent's head and drove his sword into his opponent's side so that they all fell down dead together. That's why this place in Gibeon is called the Field of Sword-edges.
17 Un tai dienā cēlās grūta kaušanās, un Abners un Israēla vīri tapa sakauti no Dāvida kalpiem.
The battle that followed was hard-fought, but eventually Abner and his men were defeated by David's men.
18 Un tur bija trīs Cerujas dēli, Joabs un Abizajus un Azaēls. Un Azaēls bija viegls uz kājām, kā stirna laukā.
The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Asahel was a fast runner, like a gazelle racing across the open countryside.
19 Un Azaēls dzinās Abneram pakaļ un neatstājās no Abnera ne pa labo ne pa kreiso roku.
He chased after Abner with single-minded determination.
20 Un Abners skatījās atpakaļ un sacīja: vai tu neesi Azaēls? Un viņš sacīja: es tas esmu.
Abner looked back and asked, “Is that you, Asahel?” “Yes, it's me,” Asahel replied.
21 Tad Abners uz to sacīja: atkāpies vai pa labo, vai pa kreiso roku, un satver vienu no tiem puišiem un paņem viņa ieročus. Bet Azaēls no viņa negribēja atstāties.
Abner told him, “Leave me alone! Go and fight somebody else and take his weapons for yourself!” But Asahel refused to stop chasing him.
22 Tad Abners runāja vēl uz Azaēli un sacīja: atstājies no manis, - kāpēc man tevi būs kaut zemē? Kā tad es varēšu savu vaigu pacelt tava brāļa Joaba priekšā?
Abner warned Asahel again. “Stop chasing me!” he shouted. “Why do you want me to kill you? How could I ever face your brother Joab?”
23 Bet viņš negribēja atstāties. Tad Abners viņam ar šķēpa otru galu iedūra vēderā, ka šķēps pakaļā iznāca ārā, un Azaēls turpat krita un nomira. Un visi, kas uz to vietu nāca, kur Azaēls bija kritis un nomiris, tie tur apstājās.
But Asahel wouldn't stop chasing him, so Abner drove the handle of his spear into his belly. It came out the back, and he fell down dead right there. Everyone who passed by stopped at the place where Asahel had fallen and died.
24 Bet Joabs un Abizajus dzinās Abneram pakaļ, un saule jau nogāja, kad tie nāca pie Amas pakalna, kas šaipus Ģias uz Gibeonas tuksneša ceļa.
But Joab and Abishai set off to chase after Abner. By the time the sun went down they had got as far as the hill of Ammah near Giah, on the way to the wilderness of Gibeon.
25 Un Benjamina bērni sapulcējās Abneram pakaļ vienā pulkā un stāvēja kāda kalna galā.
Abner's men from the tribe of Benjamin rallied to him there, forming a tight group around him standing at the top of the hill.
26 Tad Abners sauca uz Joabu un sacīja: vai tad zobens lai rij mūžam? Vai tu nezini, ka beidzot ceļas rūgtums? Un cik ilgi tu tiem ļaudīm nesacīsi, lai saviem brāļiem vairs nedzenās pakaļ.
Abner shouted to Joab: “Do we have to keep killing each other forever? Don't you realize that if we go on it'll only get worse? How long are you going to wait before you order your men to stop chasing their brothers?”
27 Tad Joabs sacīja: tik tiešām kā Dievs dzīvo, kad tu nebūtu runājis, tie ļaudis jau no paša rīta būtu novērsti, ikviens no sava brāļa nost.
“As God lives,” Joab replied, “if you had not said anything, my men would have continued chasing their brothers until the morning.”
28 Tad Joabs pūta ar bazūni, un visi ļaudis apstājās un nedzinās vairs Israēlim pakaļ un mitējās kauties.
Joab blew the horn so all the men stopped—they didn't continue chasing or fighting the Israelites.
29 Un Abners un viņa vīri gāja cauru nakti pa to klajumu un cēlās pār Jardāni un gāja caur visu Bitronu un nāca uz Mahānaīm.
All through the night Abner and his men marched through the Jordan Valley. They crossed the Jordan River, and continued all morning until they arrived back at Mahanaim.
30 Un Joabs griezās atpakaļ no Abnera un sapulcināja visus ļaudis. Tad no Dāvida kalpiem trūka deviņpadsmit vīri un Azaēls.
When Joab got back from chasing Abner, he gathered all the men together. Nineteen of David's men were missing in addition to Asahel.
31 Bet Dāvida kalpi bija kāvuši no Benjamina un Abnera vīriem trīssimt un sešdesmit vīrus; tie bija nomiruši.
However, they had killed three hundred and sixty of Abner's men from the tribe of Benjamin.
32 Un tie pacēla Azaēli un to apraka viņa tēva kapā Bētlemē. Un Joabs gāja ar saviem vīriem cauru nakti, ka gaisma tiem ausa Hebronē.
They took Asahel's body and buried him in his father's tomb in Bethlehem. Then they marched all through the night and reached Hebron at dawn.
