Jozuas 2
1 Un Jozuas, Nuna dēls, sūtīja slepeni divus izlūkus no Sitimas sacīdams: ejat, izlūkojiet to zemi un Jēriku. Un tie gāja un nāca kādas sievas namā, tā bija mauka, tai vārds bija Rahaba, un tie tur gulēja.
And so Joshua, the son of Nun, sent two men from Shittim to explore in secret. And he said to them, “Go and consider the land and the city of Jericho.” And while traveling, they entered into the house of a harlot woman named Rahab, and they rested with her.
2 Un Jērikus ķēniņam tapa sacīts: redzi, šinī naktī vīri nākuši no Israēla bērniem, to zemi izlūkot.
And it was reported to the king of Jericho, and it was said: “Behold, men have entered to this place in the night, from the sons of Israel, so that they might explore the land.”
3 Tad Jērikus ķēniņš sūtīja pie Rahabas un sacīja: dod šurp tos vīrus, kas pie tevis nākuši tavā namā, jo tie ir nākuši, visu šo zemi izlūkot.
And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying: “Bring out the men who came to you, and who entered into your house. For certainly they are spies, and they have arrived to consider the entire land.”
4 Bet tā sieva ņēma tos divus vīrus un tos paslēpa un sacīja tā: tie vīri gan pie manis bija nākuši, bet es nezināju, no kurienes tie bija.
And the woman, taking the men, hid them. And she said: “I admit that they came to me, but I did not know where they were from.
5 Un kad vārti bija jāaizslēdz, kad metās tumšs, tad tie vīri izgāja. Es nezinu, kurp tie vīri gājuši; dzenaties tiem steigšus pakaļ, tad jūs tos panāksiet.
And when the gate was closed, they went out together in the darkness. I do not know where they have gone. Pursue them quickly, and you will overtake them.”
6 Bet viņa tiem bija likusi uz jumtu uzkāpt un tos bija paslēpusi apakš linājiem, ko uz jumta bija izklājusi.
But she caused the men to ascend to the roof of her house, and she covered them with the stalks of flax that were there.
7 Un tie vīri tiem dzinās pakaļ pa Jardānes ceļu līdz tai pārceļamai vietai, un vārti tapa aizslēgti pēc tam, kad bija izgājuši, kas tiem dzinās pakaļ.
But those who had been sent pursued after them along the way that leads to the ford of the Jordan. And as soon as they went out, the gate was closed.
8 Un pirms tie apgūlās, viņa pie tiem uzkāpa uz jumtu.
Those who were hiding had not yet fallen asleep, and behold, the woman went up to them, and she said:
9 Un sacīja uz tiem vīriem: es zinu, ka Tas Kungs jums šo zemi devis un ka bailes no jums mums uzkritušas, un ka visi zemes iedzīvotāji jūsu priekšā izbijušies.
“I know that the Lord has given this land to you. For the terror of you has fallen upon us, and all the inhabitants of the land have languished.
10 Jo mēs esam dzirdējuši, kā Tas Kungs licis izsīkt niedru jūras ūdeņiem jūsu priekšā, jums no Ēģiptes zemes izejot, un ko jūs esat darījuši viņpus Jardānes tiem diviem Amoriešu ķēniņiem, Sihonam un Ogam, ko jūs esat izdeldējuši.
We have heard that the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea upon your arrival, when you were departing from Egypt, and we heard of the things that you did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you put to death.
11 Un to dzirdot mūsu sirds palikusi bailīga, un nav vairs drošības nevienam pret jums; jo Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, Viņš ir Dievs augšā debesīs un apakšā virs zemes.
And upon hearing these things, we were very afraid, and our heart languished. Neither did there remain in us any spirit at your arrival. For the Lord your God is the very God in heaven above and on earth below.
12 Nu tad zvērējiet man jel pie Tā Kunga, tāpēc ka es žēlastību pie jums esmu darījusi, ka arī jūs darīsiet žēlastību pie mana tēva nama, un dodat man kādu ticamu zīmi,
Now, therefore, swear to me by the Lord that in the same way that I have acted with mercy toward you, so also shall you act toward the house of my father. And may you give me a true sign
13 Ka jūs atstāsiet dzīvus manu tēvu, manu māti un manus brāļus un manas māsas ar visu, kas tiem pieder, un ka jūs mūsu dvēseles izglābsiet no nāves.
that you will save my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all that is theirs, and that you may rescue our souls from death.”
14 Tad tie vīri uz to sacīja: ja mēs nedarīsim žēlastību un uzticību pie tevis, kad Tas Kungs mums šo zemi dos, tad lai mirst mūsu dvēsele jūsu vietā, ja tik jūs šo mūsu lietu nedarīsiet zināmu.
They responded to her: “May our lives be yours unto death, if only you do not betray us. And when the Lord will have delivered the land to us, we will act toward you with mercy and truth.”
15 Tad viņa tos ar virvi nolaida pa logu, jo viņas nams bija pie pilsētas mūra un viņa dzīvoja pie tā mūra.
Therefore, she sent them down from a window with a rope. For her house was joined to the wall.
16 Un viņa uz tiem sacīja: ejat kalnos, ka tie jūs nesastop, kas jums dzenās pakaļ, un paslēpjaties tur trīs dienas, tiekams tie vajātāji atgriezīsies, tad pēc ejat savu ceļu.
And she said to them: “Climb up to the mountains; otherwise, they may meet you as they are returning. And lay hidden there for three days, until they return. And then you will go on your way.”
17 Tad tie vīri uz viņu sacīja: mēs būsim vaļā no šī tava zvēresta, ko tu mums lieci zvērēt:
And they said to her: “We shall be innocent of this oath, to which you have sworn us,
18 Redzi, kad mēs nākam tai zemē, tad piesien pie sava loga šo sarkano virvi, ar ko tu mūs nolaidi, un sapulcini pie sevis šai namā savu tēvu un savu māti un savus brāļus un visu tava tēva namu.
if, when we enter into the land, this scarlet cord has been placed as a sign, and you have tied it at the window by which you let us down. And so, gather your father, and mother, and brothers, and all your family into your house.
19 Un ikviens, kas pa tava nama durvīm izies ārā, tā asinis lai paliek uz viņa galvas, un mēs būsim nevainīgi. Bet ikviens, kas pie tevis būs namā, tā asinis lai paliek uz mūsu galvas, ja kas savu roku pie viņa pieliks.
Whoever will have exited from the door of your house, his blood will be on his own head, and we will be uninvolved. But the blood of all who will be with you in the house shall fall back upon our own head, if anyone touches them.
20 Bet ja tu šo mūsu lietu darīsi zināmu, tad mēs būsim vaļā no šī zvēresta, ko tu mums likusi zvērēt.
But if you will have betrayed us, so that you spread this word in their midst, we will be free from this oath, to which you have sworn us.”
21 Tad viņa sacīja: lai tā ir, kā jūs sakāt. Un viņa tos atlaida, un tie aizgāja; un viņa to sarkano virvi piesēja pie loga.
And she responded, “Just as you have spoken, so let it be done.” And sending them to travel on, she hung the scarlet cord at the window.
22 Tā tie aizgāja un nāca kalnos un palika tur trīs dienas, tiekams tie vajātāji bija atpakaļ griezušies; jo tie vajātāji tos bija meklējuši pa visiem ceļiem, bet nebija atraduši.
And truly, walking on, they arrived at the mountains, and they stayed there for three days, until those who had been pursuing them returned. For having sought them along the entire way, they did not find them.
23 Tad tie divi vīri griezās atpakaļ un nonāca no tiem kalniem un cēlās pāri un nāca pie Jozuas, Nuna dēla, un teica tam visu, kas tiem bija noticis.
And when they returned and entered the city, the explorers descended from the mountain. And crossing the Jordan, they went to Joshua, the son of Nun, and they reported to him all that had happened to them.
24 Un tie sacīja uz Jozua: tiešām Tas Kungs visu to zemi ir devis mūsu rokās, un visi zemes iedzīvotāji no mums bīstas.
And they said, “The Lord has delivered this entire land into our hands, and all its inhabitants have been struck down by fear.”
