Otra Samuela 20

1 Un tur gadījās netikls vīrs, Šebus vārdā, Bikra dēls, Benjaminietis; tas pūta trumetes un sacīja: mums daļas nav pie Dāvida, nedz mantības pie Isajus dēla, - ikviens no Israēla ejat savā dzīvoklī!

Now there happened to be there a base fellow, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the horn, and said: 'We have no portion in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse; every man to his tents, O Israel.'

2 Tad visi Israēla vīri gāja nost no Dāvida, Šebum, Bikra dēlam, pakaļ. Bet Jūda vīri turējās pie sava ķēniņa, no Jardānes līdz Jeruzālemei.

So all the men of Israel went up from following David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah did cleave unto their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.

3 Kad nu Dāvids uz Jeruzālemi pārnāca savā namā, tad ķēniņš ņēma tās desmit sievas, savas liekas sievas ko viņš bija atstājis, to namu sargāt, un tās ielika kādā sargu namā un tās apgādāja, bet vairs pie tām negāja. Un tās bija ieslēgtas līdz savai miršanas dienai un dzīvoja par atraitnēm.

And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and provided them with sustenance, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, in widowhood, with their husband alive.

4 Un ķēniņš sacīja uz Amasu: sasauc man Jūda vīrus uz trešo dienu, un stāvi tu arīdzan te.

Then said the king to Amasa: 'Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and be thou here present.'

5 Tad Amasus gāja, Jūdu sasaukt, bet viņš kavējās pāri par nolikto laiku, ko tas viņam bija nolicis.

So Amasa went to call the men of Judah together; but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.

6 Tad Dāvids sacīja uz Abizaju: nu mums Šebus, Bikra dēls, darīs vairāk ļaunuma nekā Absaloms. Ņem sava kunga kalpus un dzenies viņam pakaļ, ka viņš netiek stiprās pilsētās un neizzūd no mūsu acīm.

And David said to Abishai: 'Now will Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom; take thou thy lord's servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fortified cities, and escape out of our sight.'

7 Tad Joaba vīri viņam izgāja pakaļ, ir tie Krieti un Plieti un visi varenie. Un tie izgāja no Jeruzālemes, Šebum, Bikra dēlam, dzīties pakaļ.

And there went out after him Joab's men, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men; and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.

8 Kad tie nu pie tā lielā akmens nāca, kas ir Gibeonā, tad Amasus tos sastapa, bet Joabs bija apjozies pār savām drēbēm, kas viņam bija mugurā, un pār tām bija josta, kur zobens bija piesiets uz viņa gurniem savās makstīs, šis izslīdēja un tas (zobens) nokrita zemē.

When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. And Joab was girded with his apparel of war that he had put on, and thereon was a girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.

9 Un Joabs sacīja uz Amasu: vai tev labi klājās, mans brāli? Un Joabs satvēra ar labo roku Amasus bārdu, viņu skūpstīt.

And Joab said to Amasa: 'Is it well with thee, my brother?' And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.

10 Un Amasus nesargājās no tā zobena, kas bija Joaba rokā, un tas viņam to iedūra vēderā, ka viņa iekšas izgāzās zemē un viņam otras reizes vairs nevajadzēja, un viņš nomira. Bet Joabs un viņa brālis Abizajus dzinās pakaļ Šebum, Bikra dēlam.

But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab's hand; so he smote him therewith in the groin, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. And Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.

11 Un viens vīrs no Joaba puišiem palika pie viņa stāvot un sacīja: kam labs prāts ir pie Joaba, un kas Dāvidam (pieķeras), tas lai iet Joabam pakaļ.

And there stood by him one of Joab's young men, and said: 'He that favoureth Joab, and he that is for David let him follow Joab.'

12 Bet Amasus vārtījās asinīs ceļa vidū. Kad nu tas vīrs redzēja, ka visi ļaudis tur apstājās, tad viņš Amasu no ceļa novēla uz tīrumu un uzmeta viņam drēbes, tāpēc ka redzēja, ka ikviens, kas pie viņa pienāca, apstājās.

And Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he carried Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a garment over him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.

13 Kad viņš nu no ceļa bija novelts, tad visi ļaudis gāja garām, Joabam pakaļ, Šebum, Bikra dēlam pakaļ dzīties.

When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.

14 Un viņš gāja pa visām Israēla ciltīm uz Abelu un BetMaāku, un pa visu Berim-tiesu, un tie sapulcējās un gāja viņam pakaļ.

And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto Abel, and to Beth-maacah, and all the Berites; and they were gathered together, and went in also after him.

15 Un tie nāca un apmetās pret viņu Abel BetMaākā un uzmeta valni pret to pilsētu un tas stāvēja pie mūra, un visi ļaudis, kas pie Joaba bija, meklēja to mūri postīt un apgāzt.

And they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth-maacah, and they cast up a mound against the city, and it stood in the moat; and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.

16 Tad viena gudra sieva no pilsētas sauca: klausiet, klausiet, sakāt jel Joabam: nāc šurp, es ar tevi gribu runāt.

Then cried a wise woman out of the city: 'Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab: Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.'

17 Kad viņš nu pie tās atnāca, tad tā sieva sacīja: vai tu esi Joabs? Un viņš sacīja: es tas esmu. Un tā uz viņu sacīja: klausies savas kalpones vārdus. Un viņš sacīja: es klausos.

And he came near unto her; and the woman said: 'Art thou Joab?' And he answered: 'I am.' Then she said unto him: 'Hear the words of thy handmaid.' And he answered: 'I do hear.'

18 Tad viņa teica un sacīja: vecos laikos tā mēdza runāt: kas vaicā, lai vaicā Abelā, un tā tika galā.

Then she spoke, saying: 'They were wont to speak in old time, saying: They shall surely ask counsel at Abel; and so they ended the matter.

19 Es esmu no tiem mierīgiem un uzticīgiem iekš Israēla, un tu meklē tādu pilsētu izdeldēt, kas ir māte iekš Israēla. Kāpēc tu gribi aprīt Tā Kunga mantību?

We are of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel; seekest thou to destroy a city and a mother in Israel? why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?'

20 Tad Joabs atbildēja un sacīja: lai Dievs pasargā, lai Dievs pasargā, ka es aprītu un ka es izdeldētu; tas tā nav.

And Joab answered and said: 'Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.

21 Bet viens vīrs no Efraīma kalniem, Šebus vārdā, Bikra dēls, tas savu roku pacēlis pret ķēniņu, pret Dāvidu; dodiet man to vien, tad es aiziešu projām no pilsētas. Tad tā sieva sacīja uz Joabu: redzi, viņa galva pie tevis taps nomesta pāri pār mūri.

The matter is not so; but a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David; deliver him only, and I will depart from the city.' And the woman said unto Joab: 'Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.'

22 Un tā sieva nāca pie visiem ļaudīm ar savu gudrību, un tie Šebum, Bikra dēlam, nocirta galvu un to izmeta Joabam ārā. Tad viņš pūta trumetes, un tie izklīda no tās pilsētas projām, ikviens savā dzīvoklī, un Joabs griezās atpakaļ uz Jeruzālemi pie ķēniņa.

Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. And he blew the horn, and they were dispersed from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.

23 Un Joabs bija pār visu Israēla karaspēku, un Benajus, Jojada dēls, pār tiem Krietiem un Plietiem,

Now Joab was over all the host of Israel; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites;

24 Un Adorams bija pār tiem darbiniekiem un Jehošafats, Aķiluda dēls, bija kanclers,

and Adoram was over the levy; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder;

25 Un Zejus bija rakstu vedējs, un Cadoks un Abjatars bija priesteri,

and Sheva was scribe; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;

26 Un arī Irus, Jaīra dēls, bija pie Dāvida lielskungs.

and Ira also the Jairite was chief minister unto David.
