Otra Samuela 21
1 Un Dāvida laikā bija bads trīs gadus no vietas, un Dāvids meklēja Tā Kunga vaigu. Un Tas Kungs sacīja: tas ir Saula pēc un tā asins nama pēc, tāpēc ka viņš tos Gibeoniešus nokāvis
During the time that David [ruled], there was a famine [in Israel] for three years. David prayed to Yahweh about it. And Yahweh said, “[In order for the famine to end], Saul’s family needs to be punished [MTY] because Saul killed many people from Gibeon [city].”
2 Tad ķēniņš aicināja Gibeoniešus un uz tiem sacīja: (bet Gibeonieši nebija no Israēla bērniem, bet no Amoriešu atlikušiem, un Israēla bērni tiem bija zvērējuši, bet Sauls tos bija meklējis nokaut savā karstumā par Israēla un Jūda bērniem, )
The people of Gibeon were not Israelis; they were a small group of the Amor people-group whom the Israelis had solemnly promised to protect. But Saul had tried to kill all of them because he (was very zealous/wanted very much) to enable the people of Judah and Israel [to be the only ones living in that land]. So the king summoned the leaders of Gibeon
3 Un Dāvids sacīja uz Gibeoniešiem: ko man jums būs darīt un ar ko man jūs būs salīdzināt, ka jūs Tā Kunga mantību svētījat?
and said to them, “What shall I do for you? How can I make amends/up for what was done to your people, in order that you will bless us who belong to Yahweh?”
4 Un Gibeonieši tam atbildēja: mēs neprasām ne sudraba ne zelta Saula un viņa nama pēc; mēs arī negribam, lai kas iekš Israēla top nokauts. Tad viņš sacīja: ko tad jūs sakāt, ko man jums būs darīt?
They replied, “You cannot settle our quarrel with Saul and his family by giving us silver or gold. And we do not have the right to kill any Israelis.” So David asked, “Then/So what do you say that I should do for you?”
5 Tad tie sacīja uz ķēniņu: to vīru, kas mūs postījis un pret mums ļaunu izdomājis, mūs izdeldēt, lai mūsu nemaz vairs nav Israēla robežās; -
They replied, “Saul [wanted to] get rid of us. He wanted to annihilate/kill all of us, in order that none of us would live anywhere in Israel.
6 Dodiet mums septiņus vīrus no viņa dēliem, ka tos Tam Kungam pakaram Ģibejā, Saula, Tā Kunga izredzētā pilsētā. Un ķēniņš sacīja: es došu.
Hand over to us seven of Saul’s descendants. We will hang them where Yahweh is worshiped in Gibeon, our town, the town where Saul, whom Yahweh previously chose to be king, lived.” The king replied, “Okay, I will hand them over to you.”
7 Bet ķēniņš saudzēja Mefibošetu, Jonatāna dēlu, Saula dēla dēlu, tā zvēresta pēc, ko Dāvids un Jonatāns, Saula dēls pie Tā Kunga bija zvērējuši savā starpā.
The king did not hand over to them Saul’s grandson Mephibosheth, because of what he and [Mephibosheth’s father] Jonathan had solemnly promised to each other.
8 Un ķēniņš ņēma Ricpas, Ajas meitas, divus dēlus, ko tā Saulam bija dzemdējusi, Armonu un Mefibošetu, un Mikales (māsas), Saula meitas, piecus dēlus, ko tā bija dzemdējusi, Adriēlim, Barzilajus, tā Maālotieša dēlam,
Instead, he took Armoni and another man named Mephibosheth, the two sons that Saul’s slave wife Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, had given birth to, and the five sons that Saul’s daughter Merab had given birth to. Merab’s husband was Adriel, the son of a man named Barzillai from Meholah [town].
9 Un tos deva Gibeoniešiem rokā, un tie tos pakāra uz tā kalna Tā Kunga priekšā. Un tie septiņi kopā gāja bojā un nomira pļaujamā laika iesākumā, kad miežu pļaušana sākās.
David handed those men over to the men from Gibeon. Then they hanged those seven men on a hill where they worshiped Yahweh. They were all killed during the time of the year that the people started to harvest the barley.
10 Tad Ricpa, Ajas meita, ņēma maisu un to sev izklāja uz to akmeni pļaušanas iesākumā, tiekams ūdens no debesīm uz tiem pilēja, un viņa ne putniem apakš debess nelika uz tiem nākt dienā, ne lauka zvēriem naktī.
Then Rizpah took coarse cloth made from goats’ hair, and spread it on the rock [where the corpses lay]. She stayed there from the time that people started to harvest the barley until the rains started. She did not allow any birds to come near the corpses during the day, and she did not allow any animals to come near during the night.
11 Un Dāvidam sacīja, ko Ricpa, Ajas meita, Saula lieka sieva, bija darījusi.
When someone told David what Rizpah had done,
12 Un Dāvids nogāja un ņēma Saula un viņa dēla Jonatāna kaulus no tiem namniekiem Jabesā Gileādā, kas tos bija zaguši no BetŠanas ielas, kur Fīlisti tos bija pakāruši tai dienā, kad Fīlisti Saulu Ģilboā kāva,
he went with some of his servants to Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] and got the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan. The people of Jabesh had stolen their bones from the (plaza/public square) in Beth-Shan [city], where the men from Philistia had hanged them previously, on the day that they had killed Saul and Jonathan on Gilboa [Mountain].
13 Un viņš aizveda no tejienes Saula kaulus un Jonatāna, viņa dēla, kaulus, un tos sakrāja ar to pakārto kauliem,
David and his men took the bones of Saul and Jonathan, and they also took the bones of the seven men [from Gibeon] whom the men from Philistia had hanged.
14 Un apraka Saula un viņa dēla Jonatāna kaulus Benjamina zemē, Celā, Ķisa, viņa tēva, kapā, un tie darīja visu, ko ķēniņš bija pavēlējis. Tā Dievs pēc šim zemei atkal palika žēlīgs.
They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan in Zela [town] in the land of [the tribe of] Benjamin. Doing all that the king commanded, they buried their bones in the tomb where Saul’s father Kish [was buried]. After that, [because] God [saw that Saul’s family had been punished to pay for Saul’s murder of many people from Gibeon, he] answered the Israelis’ prayers for their land, and caused the famine to end.
15 Pēc tam bija atkal karš starp Fīlistiem un Israēli. Un Dāvids nogāja un viņa kalpi līdz ar viņu un karoja pret Fīlistiem. Un Dāvids nogura.
The army of Philistia again started to fight against the army of Israel. And David and his soldiers went to fight the Philistines. During the battle, David became weary.
16 Un Jezbus no Nobas, viens no Revaiešiem, tam šķēps bija trīs simt vara sēķeļus smagumā, un tas bija apjozies ar jaunu (zobenu), šis domāja Dāvidu nokaut.
One of the Philistia men thought that he could kill David. His name was Ishbi-Benob. He was a descendant of [a group of] giants. He carried a bronze spear that weighed about (7-1/2 pounds/3-1/2 kg.), and he also had a new sword.
17 Bet Abizajus, Cerujas dēls, viņam palīdzēja un sita to Fīlistu un nokāva. Tad Dāvida vīri tam zvērēja un sacīja: tev nebūs vairs ar mums iet karā, ka tu to gaišumu iekš Israēla neizdzēsi.
But Abishai came to help David, and attacked the giant and killed him. Then David’s soldiers forced him to promise that he would not go with them into a battle again. They said to him, “[If you die, and none of your descendants become king, that would be like] [MET] extinguishing the last light in Israel.”
18 Pēc tam bija atkal karš Gobā pret Fīlistiem. Tad Zibekajus, Uzata dēls, kāva Zavu, kas bija no Revaiešiem.
Some time after that, there was a battle with the army of Philistia near Gob [village]. During the battle, Sibbecai, from [the] Hushah [clan], killed Saph, one of the descendants of the Rapha giants.
19 Un atkal bija karš Gobā pret Fīlistiem; tad Elanans, JaēraOrģima dēls, no Bētlemes, kāva Goliata, tā Gatieša, (brāli), kam šķēpa kāts bija kā vēvera (audēja) riestava.
[Later] there was another battle with the army of Philistia at Gob. During that battle, Elhanan, the son of Jaare-Oregim from Bethlehem, killed [the brother of] Goliath from Gath [city]; Goliath’s spear shaft/handle was (very thick, like the bar on a weaver’s loom/over two inches thick).
20 Atkal bija karš Gatā, un tur bija ļoti garš vīrs, tam bija ik seši pirksti pie rokām un seši pie kājām, divdesmit četri pa visam, ir tas bija no Revaiešu cilts.
Later there was another battle near Gath. There was a (huge man/giant) there who liked to fight [in battles]. He had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He was descended from [the] Rapha [giants].
21 Un tas mēdīja Israēli; bet Jonatāns, Šimejus, Dāvida brāļa, dēls to nokāva.
But when he (made fun of/ridiculed) the men in the Israeli [army], Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimeah, killed him.
22 Šie četri bija Ravum Gatā dzimuši un krita caur Dāvida roku un caur viņa kalpu roku.
Those four men were some of the descendants of the Rapha giants who had lived in Gath, who were killed [MTY] by David and his soldiers.
