< Piektā Mozus 2 >
1 Tad mēs griezāmies un gājām uz tuksnesi pa niedru jūras ceļu, kā Tas Kungs uz mani bija runājis, un gājām ap Seīra kalniem daudz dienas.
“Then we turned around and went through the desert toward the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba), as Yahweh told us to do, and we wandered in the Edom area for many years.
2 Un Tas Kungs uz mani runāja sacīdams:
Then Yahweh said to me,
3 Jūs diezgan esat gājuši ap tiem kalniem, griežaties pret ziemeļiem.
‘You have been wandering around this hilly area for a long enough time. Now turn [and travel] toward the north.
4 Un pavēli tiem ļaudīm sacīdams: jums jāstaigā caur savu brāļu, Ēsava bērnu, robežām, kas Seīrā dzīvo, tie no jums bīsies.
And tell the people that they are about to travel near the land that belongs to the descendants of Esau, who are also descendants of Isaac. They live in the [hilly] Edom region. They will be afraid of you,
5 Bet tikai sargājaties, nekarojiet ar tiem, jo Es jums no viņu zemes nedošu ne pēdas platuma, jo Es Ēsavam esmu devis Seīra kalnus par daļu.
but do not start to fight against them, because I am not going to give you even a tiny bit [HYP] of their land. I have given that land to the descendants of Esau.
6 Barību pērkat no viņiem par naudu, ka ēdat, un arī ūdeni pērkat no viņiem par naudu, ka dzerat.
[When you travel near their land], buy food and water from them.’
7 Jo Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tevi ir svētījis visos tavos rokas darbos, Viņš zina tavu staigāšanu caur šo lielo tuksnesi; šos četrdesmit gadus Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, ir bijis ar tevi; nekā tev nav trūcis.
Do not forget that Yahweh our God has blessed you in everything that you [SYN] have done. He knows [what has happened to you while] you have wandered in this huge desert. But he has been with you during those 40 years, and as a result you have had everything that you needed [LIT].
8 Un mēs gājām garām saviem brāļiem, Ēsava bērniem, kas Seīrā dzīvo, pa klajuma ceļu, no Elata un Eceonģebera, un griezušies gājām pa Moaba tuksneša ceļu.
So we continued to travel. We avoided going through the hilly area where the descendants of Esau live. We stayed away from the road through the Jordan [River] Valley past Ezion-Geber and Elath [towns], and we turned and traveled northeast toward the desert area where the Moab people-group lives.
9 Tad Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: neapbēdini Moabu un nekaro ar viņu, jo Es tev nedošu mantību no viņa zemes, tāpēc ka Es Aru esmu devis Lata bērniem par mantību.
Yahweh said to me, ‘Do not bother/harass the people of Moab, and do not start to fight against them, because I am not going to give you any of their land. [Do not forget that] they are descendants of [Abraham’s nephew] Lot, and I have given to them Ar [city, their capital, and the other areas in that country].’”
10 (Senāk tur dzīvoja Emieši, lieli un stipri un gari ļaudis, tā kā tie Enaķieši.
A large group of giants called Emim formerly lived there. They were strong and numerous, and as tall as the giants who were descendants of Anak.
11 Tie arīdzan tapa turēti par milžiem, tā kā tie Enaķieši, un Moabieši tos sauca par Emiešiem.
They and the descendants of Anak are also called the Repha giants, but the people of Moab call them Emim.
12 Un Seīrā senāk dzīvoja Horieši, bet Ēsava bērni tos izdzina un tos izdeldēja savā priekšā un dzīvoja viņu vietā, itin kā Israēls ir darījis savā iemantotā zemē, ko Tas Kungs viņiem ir devis.)
The Hor people-group also formerly lived in the Edom area, but the descendants of Esau chased them out. They defeated and killed them and (settled in/occupied) their land, just as the Israeli people later expelled their enemies from the land that Yahweh gave to them.
13 Nu ceļaties un ejat pār Zaredes upi. Tad mēs cēlāmies pār Zaredes upi.
[I also said to the Israeli people], “Then we crossed the Zered Gorge, as Yahweh told us to do.
14 Tad nu tās dienas, cik ilgi no Kādeš Barneas esam gājuši, līdz kamēr esam gājuši pār Zaredes upi, ir trīsdesmit astoņi gadi, tiekams viss tas karavīru dzimums lēģerī bija nobeidzies, itin kā Tas Kungs viņiem bija zvērējis.
It had been thirty-eight years from the time we first left Kadesh-Barnea until we crossed the Zered Gorge. During those years, all the Israeli (fighting men/soldiers) of that generation had died, as Yahweh had vowed would happen.
15 Un Tā Kunga roka bija pret viņiem, viņus izdeldēt no lēģera, tiekams tie bija nobeigti.
They died because Yahweh opposed them, until he had gotten rid of all of them.
16 Un kad visi tie karavīri bija nobeigti un izmiruši no ļaužu vidus,
After all the men who had been old enough to fight in wars had died [DOU],
17 Tad Tas Kungs uz mani runāja sacīdams:
Yahweh said to me,
18 Tev šodien būs iziet caur Moaba robežām pie Ara
‘Today you all must cross the border into the Moab region, near Ar, [their capital city].
19 Un nākt Ammona bērnu tuvumā, bet neuzkrīti tiem un nekaro ar tiem, jo no Ammona bērnu zemes Es tev nedošu mantību, tāpēc ka Es to esmu devis par mantību Lata bērniem.
When you come near the border of the land where the Ammon people-group live, do not bother/harass them or start to fight against them. They are also descendants of Lot, so I am not going to give you any of the land that I have given to them.’”
20 (Šī arīdzan top turēta par milžu ļaužu zemi; milži senāk tur dzīvoja, un Ammonieši tos sauca par Zamzumiešiem,
That region is also called the land of the Repha giants, who formerly lived there. The Ammon people-group call them the Zamzum group.
21 Lieli un stipri un gari ļaudis, kā tie Enaķieši, un Tas Kungs tos izdeldēja viņu priekšā, tā ka šie viņus izdzina un tur dzīvoja viņu vietā.
They were a large and powerful group, who were as tall as the descendants of Anak. But Yahweh got rid of them, and the Ammon people-group expelled them and took their land away from them and started to live there.
22 Itin kā Viņš darījis Ēsava bērniem, kas Seīrā dzīvo, kuru priekšā Viņš Horiešus izdeldēja, un tie tos izdzina un dzīvoja viņu vietā līdz šai dienai.
Yahweh had done the same thing for the descendants of Esau who live in the hilly area of Edom. He got rid of the Hor people-group, with the result that the Edom people-group took their land from them and started to live there. They still live there.
23 Un Aviešus, kas ciemos dzīvoja līdz Gacai, Kaftorieši, kas no Kaftora nāca, ir izdeldējuši un dzīvojuši viņu vietā.)
People who came from Crete [Island] got rid of the Av group [who previously lived in the land close to the Mediterranean Sea], as far south as Gaza. They took their land from them and started to live there.
24 Ceļaties, izejat un ejat pāri pār Arnonas upi; redziet, Es esmu devis jūsu rokā Sihonu, Hešbonas ķēniņu, to Amorieti, un viņa zemi; sāc ieņemt un ej karā ar viņu.
“[After we had gone through the Moab region], Yahweh said to us, ‘Now cross the Arnon [River]. I will help you to defeat [IDM] [the army of] Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lives in Heshbon [city]. So attack their army and start to take their land from them.
25 Šodien Es sākšu darīt, ka no tevis iztrūcināsies un bīsies tās tautas, kas apakš visas debess; kas tavu slavu dzirdēs, tiem būs trīcēt un drebēt tavā priekšā.
Today I will begin to cause everyone, everywhere, to be afraid of you. Everyone who hears about you will tremble and be terrified.’
26 Tad Es sūtīju vēstnešus no Ķedemot tuksneša pie Sihona, Hešbonas ķēniņa, ar miera vārdiem sacīdams:
Then I sent messengers to go from the desert to King Sihon at Heshbon. I told them to give this peaceful message to the king:
27 Ļauj man iet caur tavu zemi, es pa ceļu vien iešu, es neatkāpšos ne pa labo, ne pa kreiso roku.
‘Please allow us to travel through your land. We [promise that we] will stay on the road; we will not turn off to the right or to the left.
28 Pārdod man par naudu barību, ko ēst, un dod man par naudu ūdeni, ko dzert; tikai kājām es iešu cauri,
We will pay for any food or water that you allow us to buy. We want only to walk through your country,
29 Kā man ir darījuši Ēsava bērni, kas Seīrā dzīvo, un Moabieši, kas Arā dzīvo, tiekams es nāku pāri pār Jardāni tai zemē, ko Tas Kungs, mūsu Dievs, mums dos.
until we cross the Jordan [River] into the land that Yahweh our God is giving to us. Do for us just as the descendants of Esau who live in the Edom area and the Moab people-group did for us when they allowed us to go through their areas.’
30 Bet Sihons, Hešbonas ķēniņš, mums negribēja ļaut iet cauri, jo Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, viņa prātu apcietināja un viņa sirdi drošināja, lai Viņš to nodotu tavā rokā, itin kā tas šodien ir.
But King Sihon would not allow us to go through his country. That was because Yahweh our God caused him to be stubborn [IDM]. The result was that Yahweh enabled us to defeat his army and take his land [IDM], which we still live in.
31 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz mani: redzi, Es esmu iesācis tev nodot Sihonu un viņa zemi; sāc ieņemt viņa zemi.
Yahweh said to me, ‘Listen! I am about to allow you to defeat Sihon’s [army] and to take the people’s land from them. So start to occupy it!’
32 Un Sihons izgāja mums pretī, pats ar visiem saviem ļaudīm, karot pie Jācas.
Then Sihon came out [of the city] with all his army to fight against us at Jahaz [town].
33 Bet Tas Kungs, mūsu Dievs, to mums nodeva, un mēs to sakāvām un viņa dēlus un visus viņa ļaudis.
But God enabled us to defeat [DOU] them, and we killed Sihon and his sons and all his soldiers.
34 Un tanī laikā uzņēmām visas viņa pilsētas un izdeldējām visas pilsētas, vīrus un sievas un bērniņus, mēs neatlicinājām neviena.
We captured all their cities and destroyed them all. We killed all the men and women and children; we did not allow any of them to remain alive.
35 Tikai tos lopus mēs sev esam paņēmuši un to laupījumu tais pilsētās, ko uzņēmām.
We took the valuable things that were in the cities that we captured and also their cattle.
36 No Aroēra pie Arnonas upes krasta, un no tās pilsētas, kas pie upes, līdz Gileādai, nevienas pilsētas nebija, kas pret mums varēja turēties; visu to Tas Kungs, mūsu Dievs, mums nodeva.
Yahweh our God enabled us to capture [IDM] all their towns from Aroer [in the south], which is at the edge of the Arnon River [Valley], to the Gilead [region in the north]. Some of their cities had [walls around them], but we were able to [climb over them].
37 Tikai uz Ammona bērnu zemi tu neesi gājis, uz visu to pusi gar Jabokas upi, nedz uz tām pilsētām kalnos, nedz kaut kur, kurp (iet) Tas Kungs, mūsu Dievs, bija aizliedzis.
But we did not go near the area where the Ammon people-group live, or the banks of the Jabbok riverbed, or the towns in the hilly area, or any other place where Yahweh our God told us not to go.”
