< Otra Samuela 3 >
1 Un karš starp Saula namu un Dāvida namu vilcinājās. Bet Dāvids palika jo dienas jo spēcīgāks, un Saula nams jo dienas jo vājāks.
Then a long struggle occurred between the house of Saul and the house of David, with David prospering and growing ever stronger, but the house of Saul decreasing daily.
2 Un Dāvidam Hebronē piedzima dēli: viņa pirmdzimtais bija Ammons, no Aķinoamas, tās Jezreēlietes.
And sons were born to David in Hebron. And his firstborn son was Amnon, from Ahinoam the Jezreelite.
3 Un viņa otrs bija Ķileabs no Abigaīles, Nābala sievas, no Karmeļa. Un trešais Absaloms, no Maākas, Talmaja, Gešuras ķēniņa, meitas.
And after him, there was Chileab, from Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel. Then the third was Absalom, the son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, the king of Geshur.
4 Un ceturtais Adonijus, Aģitas dēls. Un piektais Šefatijus, Abitalas dēls.
Then the fourth was Adonijah, the son of Haggith. And the fifth was Shephatiah, the son of Abital.
5 Un sestais Jetreams no Eglas, Dāvida sievas. Šie dzima Dāvidam Hebronē.
Also, the sixth was Ithream, from Eglah, the wife of David. These were born to David at Hebron.
6 Kamēr nu karš bija starp Saula namu un Dāvida namu, tad Abners stipri turējās pie Saula nama.
Then, while there was a battle between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner, the son of Ner, was reigning over the house of Saul.
7 Un Saulam bija lieka sieva bijusi, Ricpa vārdā, Ajas meita. Un (Išbošets) sacīja uz Abneru: kāpēc tu guli pie mana tēva liekas sievas?
Now Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. And Ishbosheth said to Abner,
8 Tad Abners ļoti apskaitās par Išbošeta vārdiem un sacīja: vai tad es esmu suņa galva, kas pie Jūda turas? Tava tēva Saula namam, viņa brāļiem un viņa draugiem es šodien parādu žēlastību un tevi neesmu nodevis Dāvida rokā, un tu man šodien noziegumu pārmeti tās sievas dēļ!
“Why did you enter to the concubine of my father?” But he, being exceedingly angry at the words of Ishbosheth, said: “Am I the head of a dog against Judah this day? I have shown mercy to the house of Saul, your father, and to his brothers and friends. And I have not delivered you into the hands of David. And yet today you have sought me, so that you might rebuke me over a woman?
9 Lai Dievs Abneram šā un tā dara, ja es tā nedarīšu Dāvidam, kā Tas Kungs viņam ir zvērējis,
May God do these things to Abner, and may he add these other things, if, in the same way that the Lord swore to David, I do not do so with him:
10 Noceldams valstību no Saula nama un uzceldams Dāvida goda krēslu pār Israēli un pār Jūdu no Dana līdz Bēršebai.
that the kingdom be transferred from the house of Saul, and that the throne of David be elevated over Israel and over Judah, from Dan to Beersheba.”
11 Un tas Abneram ne vārda vairs nevarēja atbildēt, tā tas viņu bijās.
And he was not able to respond anything to him, because he was in fear of him.
12 Un Abners sūtīja savā vietā vēstnešus pie Dāvida un sacīja: kam tā zeme pieder? Un sacīja: deri derību ar mani, redzi, tad mana roka būs ar tevi, atgriezt visu Israēli pie tevis.
Therefore, Abner sent messengers to David for himself, saying, “Whose is the land?” and so that they would say, “Make a friendship with me, and my hand will be with you, and I will lead back all of Israel to you.”
13 Un viņš sacīja: labi, es ar tevi derēšu derību, bet vienu lietu es prasu no tevis, proti, tev manu vaigu nebūs redzēt, pirms tu man nebūsi atvedis Mikali, Saula meitu, kad tu nāksi redzēt manu vaigu.
And he said: “It is best. I will make a friendship with you. But one thing I ask of you, saying: You shall not see my face before you bring Michal, the daughter of Saul. And in this way, you shall come, and see me.”
14 Un Dāvids sūtīja vēstnešus pie Išbošeta, Saula dēla, sacīdams: dod man Mikali, manu sievu, ko esmu precējies ar simts Fīlistu priekšādām.
Then David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, saying, “Restore my wife Michal, whom I espoused to myself for one hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”
15 Un Išbošets nosūtīja un to ņēma no vīra, no Paltiēļa, Laīsa dēla.
Therefore, Ishbosheth sent and took her from her husband Paltiel, the son of Laish.
16 Un viņas vīrs gāja viņai līdz, un iedams raudāja viņai pakaļ līdz Bakurim. Tad Abners uz to sacīja: ej, griezies atpakaļ. Tad viņš griezās atpakaļ.
And her husband was following her, weeping, as far as Bahurim. And Abner said to him, “Go and return.” And he returned.
17 Un Abners bija runājis ar Israēla vecajiem un sacījis: jūs citkārt Dāvidu esat meklējuši sev par ķēniņu.
Likewise, Abner sent word to the elders of Israel, saying: “As much yesterday as the day before, you were seeking David, so that he might reign over you.
18 Tad dariet nu to, jo Tas Kungs uz Dāvidu ir runājis un sacījis: caur Sava kalpa Dāvida roku Es izpestīšu Savus Israēla ļaudis no Fīlistu rokas un no visu viņu ienaidnieku rokas.
Therefore, accomplish it now. For the Lord has spoken to David, saying: ‘By the hand of my servant David, I will save my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and of all their enemies.’”
19 Tāpat Abners bija runājis priekš Benjamina ausīm, un Abners nogāja arī priekš Dāvida ausīm Hebronē runāt visu, kas Israēlim un visam Benjamina namam labi patika.
Then Abner also spoke to Benjamin. And he went away, so that he might speak to David in Hebron all that would be pleasing to Israel and to all of Benjamin.
20 Un Abners nāca pie Dāvida uz Hebroni un divdesmit vīri viņam līdz, un Dāvids Abneram un tiem vīriem, kas viņam bija līdz, taisīja dzīres.
And he went to David in Hebron with twenty men. And David made a feast for Abner, and for his men who had arrived with him.
21 Tad Abners sacīja uz Dāvidu: es celšos un iešu un sapulcināšu visu Israēli pie sava kunga, tā ķēniņa, ka tie ar tevi der derību; tad tu varēsi valdīt pār visu, kas tavai dvēselei patīk. Tā Dāvids atlaida Abneru, un tas aizgāja ar mieru.
And Abner said to David, “I will rise up, so that I may gather all of Israel to you, my lord the king, and so that I may enter into a pact with you, and so that you may reign over all, just as your soul desires.” Then, when David had led Abner away, and he had departed in peace,
22 Un redzi, Dāvida kalpi un Joabs griezās atpakaļ no sirošanas un pārnesa lielu laupījumu. Un Abners nebija vairs pie Dāvida Hebronē, bet šis to bija atlaidis, ka tas ar mieru bija aizgājis.
immediately the servants of David and of Joab arrived, after having slain robbers, with exceedingly great spoils. But Abner was not with David in Hebron. For by then he had sent him away, and he had set out in peace.
23 Kad nu Joabs un viss tas spēks ar viņu pārnāca, tad Joabam teica un sacīja: Abners, Nera dēls, ir nācis pie ķēniņa un tas viņu ir atlaidis, ka viņš ar mieru aizgājis.
And Joab, and the entire army that was with him, had arrived afterward. And so, it was reported to Joab, explaining that Abner, the son of Ner, went to the king, and he dismissed him, and he went away in peace.
24 Tad Joabs gāja pie ķēniņa un sacīja: ko tu esi darījis? Redzi, Abners pie tevis ir nācis, - kāpēc tu viņu esi atlaidis, ka tas aizgājis?
And Joab entered to the king, and he said: “What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you. Why did you dismiss him, so that he has gone and departed?
25 Tu gan Abneru, Nera dēlu, pazīsti, ka tas ir nācis tevi pierunāt, ka viņš vērā liktu tavu iziešanu un ieiešanu un izprastu visu, ko tu dari.
Do you not know, about Abner, the son of Ner, that he came to you for this, so that he might deceive you, and might know of your departure and your return, and so that he might know all that you do?”
26 Un Joabs izgāja no Dāvida un sūtīja vēstnešus Abneram pakaļ, kas viņu atkal atveda no Ziras akas; bet Dāvids par to nezināja.
And so, Joab, going out from David, sent messengers after Abner, and he brought him back from the cistern of Sirah, without David knowing.
27 Kad nu Abners uz Hebroni nāca atpakaļ, tad Joabs viņu veda vārtos, klusu ar viņu parunāt, un tur tas viņam dūra vēderā, ka tas nomira, par viņa brāļa Azaēļa asinīm.
And when Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab took him alone to the middle of the gate, so that he might speak to him, but with deceit. And there, he stabbed him in the groin, and he died, in revenge for the blood of Asahel, his brother.
28 Kad nu Dāvids to pēcak dzirdēja, tad viņš sacīja: es esmu nenoziedzīgs un mana valstība Tā Kunga priekšā mūžīgi pie Abnera, Nera dēla, asinīm.
And when David had heard of it, now that the matter was done, he said: “I and my kingdom are clean before the Lord, even forever, of the blood of Abner, the son of Ner.
29 Lai tās nāk uz Joaba galvu un uz visu viņa tēva namu, un lai Joaba namā netrūkst, kam izpil un kas ir spitālīgs un kas pie spieķa staigā un kas caur zobenu krīt un kam maizes trūkst.
And may it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon the entire house of his father. And may there not fail to be, in the house of Joab, one who suffers from a flow of seed, or one who is leprous, or one who is effeminate, or one who falls by the sword, or one who is in need of bread.”
30 Tā Joabs un Abizajus, viņa brālis, nokāva Abneru par to, ka tas Azaēli, viņu brāli, bija nokāvis kaujā pie Gibeonas.
And so, Joab and his brother Abishai killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon, during the battle.
31 Tad Dāvids sacīja uz Joabu un uz visiem ļaudīm, kas pie viņa bija: saplēšat savas drēbes un apvelciet maisus un žēlojaties Abnera pēc. Un ķēniņš Dāvids gāja bērēm pakaļ.
Then David said to Joab, and to all the people who were with him, “Tear your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before the funeral procession of Abner.” Moreover, king David himself was following the casket.
32 Kad nu Abneru apraka Hebronē, tad ķēniņš pacēla savu balsi un raudāja pie Abnera kapa, un visi ļaudis raudāja.
And when they had buried Abner in Hebron, king David lifted up his voice, and he wept over the burial mound of Abner. And all the people also wept.
33 Un ķēniņš žēlojās par Abneru un sacīja: vai Abneram bija jāmirst, kā mirst nelietis?
And the king, mourning and lamenting Abner, said: “By no means has Abner died the way that cowards usually die.
34 Tavas rokas nebija saistītas nedz tavas kājas liktas vara pinekļos; tu esi kritis, kā krīt caur netikliem. Tad visi ļaudis vēl vairāk par to raudāja.
Your hands are not bound, and your feet are not weighed down with fetters. But just as men often fall before the sons of iniquity, so you have fallen.” And while repeating this, all the people wept over him.
35 Un visi ļaudis nāca aicināt, lai Dāvids maizes ēstu, kamēr vēl bija dienas gaisma; tad Dāvids zvērēja un sacīja: lai Dievs man šā un tā dara, ja es baudīšu maizes vai cita kā, pirms saule noiet.
And when the entire multitude had arrived to take food with David, while it was still broad daylight, David swore, saying, “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things, if I taste bread or anything else before the sun sets.”
36 Un visi ļaudis to dzirdēja, un tas tiem labi patika; viss ko ķēniņš darīja, tas visiem ļaudīm labi patika.
And all the people heard it, and everything that the king did in the sight of the entire people was pleasing to them.
37 Un visi ļaudis un viss Israēls noprata tai dienā, ka tas nebija nācis no ķēniņa, ka Abners, Nera dēls, bija nokauts.
And every common person, and all of Israel, realized on that day that the killing of Abner, the son of Ner, had not been done by the king.
38 Un ķēniņš sacīja uz saviem kalpiem: vai nezināt, ka šodien lielskungs un augsts vīrs ir kritis iekš Israēla?
The king also said to his servants: “Could you be ignorant that a leader and a very great man has fallen today in Israel?
39 Bet es vēl šodien esmu par jaunu, nule par ķēniņu svaidīts. Un šie vīri, Cerujas dēli, man ir par stipriem; Tas Kungs lai atmaksā tiem ļauna darītājiem pēc viņu ļaundarīšanas.
But I am still tender, and yet anointed king. And these men of the sons of Zeruiah are too harsh for me. May the Lord repay whoever does evil in accord with his malice.”
