< 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.
Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David. But David grew stronger and stronger, while the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.
2 Un Dāvidam Hebronē piedzima dēli: viņa pirmdzimtais bija Ammons, no Aķinoamas, tās Jezreēlietes.
Now sons were born to David in Hebron. And his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam of Jezreel;
3 Un viņa otrs bija Ķileabs no Abigaīles, Nābala sievas, no Karmeļa. Un trešais Absaloms, no Maākas, Talmaja, Gešuras ķēniņa, meitas.
and his second, Daluiah, of Abigail of Carmel; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
4 Un ceturtais Adonijus, Aģitas dēls. Un piektais Šefatijus, Abitalas dēls.
and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah, of Abital;
5 Un sestais Jetreams no Eglas, Dāvida sievas. Šie dzima Dāvidam Hebronē.
and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah, David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
6 Kamēr nu karš bija starp Saula namu un Dāvida namu, tad Abners stipri turējās pie Saula nama.
And it came about while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner was gaining power in 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 secondary wife, Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. And Ishbaal son of Saul said to Abner, "Why have you gone in to my father's secondary wife?"
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!
Then Abner was very angry over the words of Ishbaal, and said, "Am I a dog's head? Until today, is it for myself that I have been doing all these things, showing loyalty to the house of Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David? And yet you charge me this day with a fault concerning this woman.
9 Lai Dievs Abneram šā un tā dara, ja es tā nedarīšu Dāvidam, kā Tas Kungs viņam ir zvērējis,
God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as the LORD has sworn to David, I do not do even so to him;
10 Noceldams valstību no Saula nama un uzceldams Dāvida goda krēslu pār Israēli un pār Jūdu no Dana līdz Bēršebai.
to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba."
11 Un tas Abneram ne vārda vairs nevarēja atbildēt, tā tas viņu bijās.
And Ishbaal could not answer Abner another word, because he feared 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.
Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, "Whose is the land?" and saying, "Make an agreement with me, and look, my hand shall be with you, to bring all Israel around 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.
He said, "Good. I will make a covenant with you, but one thing I require of you. That is, you shall not see my face unless you first bring Mikal, Saul's daughter, when you come to see my face."
14 Un Dāvids sūtīja vēstnešus pie Išbošeta, Saula dēla, sacīdams: dod man Mikali, manu sievu, ko esmu precējies ar simts Fīlistu priekšādām.
David sent messengers to Ishbaal, Saul's son, saying, "Give me my wife Mikal, whom I betrothed to myself for one hundred foreskins of the Philistines."
15 Un Išbošets nosūtīja un to ņēma no vīra, no Paltiēļa, Laīsa dēla.
Ishbaal 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.
But her husband went with her, weeping behind her, as far as Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, "Go back." So he went back.
17 Un Abners bija runājis ar Israēla vecajiem un sacījis: jūs citkārt Dāvidu esat meklējuši sev par ķēniņu.
Abner advised the elders of Israel, saying, "For some time you have wanted David to be king 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.
Now then do it, for the LORD has spoken of David, saying, 'By the hand of my servant David, I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand 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.
And Abner also spoke privately to the sons of Benjamin. And Abner also spoke privately to David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to the whole house 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.
So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. David made Abner and the men who were with him a feast.
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.
Abner said to David, "I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may reign over all that your soul desires." David sent Abner away; and he left 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.
Look, the servants of David and Joab were returning from a raid, and brought in a great spoil with them. But Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he left 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.
When Joab and all the army who was with him had come, they told Joab, saying, "Abner the son of Ner came to David, and he has sent him away, and he left 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?
Then Joab came to the king, and said, "What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why is it that you have sent him away? Now he has gone.
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.
Don't you know the evil ways of Abner the son of Ner? He came to deceive you and to observe your movements and to learn everything that you are doing."
26 Un Joabs izgāja no Dāvida un sūtīja vēstnešus Abneram pakaļ, kas viņu atkal atveda no Ziras akas; bet Dāvids par to nezināja.
When Joab had left David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David did not know it.
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.
When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and struck him there in the abdomen, so that he died, 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.
Afterward, when David heard it, he said, "I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD now and 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.
May it whirl over the head of Joab, and on all his father's house. Let there not fail from the house of Joab one who has an issue, or who is a leper, or who leans on a staff, or who falls by the sword, or who lacks bread."
30 Tā Joabs un Abizajus, viņa brālis, nokāva Abneru par to, ka tas Azaēli, viņu brāli, bija nokāvis kaujā pie Gibeonas.
So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in 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.
David said to Joab, and to all the people who were with him, "Tear your clothes, and clothe yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner." And King David followed the coffin.
32 Kad nu Abneru apraka Hebronē, tad ķēniņš pacēla savu balsi un raudāja pie Abnera kapa, un visi ļaudis raudāja.
They buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
33 Un ķēniņš žēlojās par Abneru un sacīja: vai Abneram bija jāmirst, kā mirst nelietis?
The king lamented for Abner, and said, "Should Abner die as a fool dies?
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 were not bound in chains, your feet were not put into fetters. As a man falls before the ruthless, so you fell." All the people wept again 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.
Then all the people came to persuade David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, "God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or anything else, until the sun goes down."
36 Un visi ļaudis to dzirdēja, un tas tiem labi patika; viss ko ķēniņš darīja, tas visiem ļaudīm labi patika.
And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them; just as everything the king did pleased the people.
37 Un visi ļaudis un viss Israēls noprata tai dienā, ka tas nebija nācis no ķēniņa, ka Abners, Nera dēls, bija nokauts.
So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to kill Abner the son of Ner.
38 Un ķēniņš sacīja uz saviem kalpiem: vai nezināt, ka šodien lielskungs un augsts vīrs ir kritis iekš Israēla?
The king said to his servants, "Do you not realize that a leader and a great man has fallen this day 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.
I am this day weak, though anointed king. And these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too brutal for me. May the LORD reward the evildoer according to his wickedness."
