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 Joshua, the son of Nun, had sent out from Shittim two men as spies, secretly, saying, Go ye, view the land and especially Jericho; and they went, and came unto the house of a woman, a harlot, whose name was Rachab, and they lodged there.
2 Un Jērikus ķēniņam tapa sacīts: redzi, šinī naktī vīri nākuši no Israēla bērniem, to zemi izlūkot.
And it was told unto the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, men came in hither this night, of the children of Israel, to search out the country.
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 Rachab, saying, Bring forth the men who are come to thee, who came to thy house; for, to search out all the country are they come.
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.
But the woman had taken the two men, and hidden them; and she said, It is true, the men came unto me, but I knew not whence they were.
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 it came to pass, about the time of shutting the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out; I know not whither the men are gone: pursue quickly after them, for ye can overtake them.
6 Bet viņa tiem bija likusi uz jumtu uzkāpt un tos bija paslēpusi apakš linājiem, ko uz jumta bija izklājusi.
But she had brought them up to the roof, and had hidden them among the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.
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.
And the men pursued after them, by the way to the Jordan unto the fords; and the gate was closed, as soon as those who pursued after them were gone out.
8 Un pirms tie apgūlās, viņa pie tiem uzkāpa uz jumtu.
But they had not yet laid themselves down, when she came up unto them upon the roof.
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.
And she said unto them, I know that the Lord hath given you the land, and that the terror of you hath fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land are become faint-hearted, because of you.
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.
For we have heard, how that the Lord dried up the waters of the Red Sea before you, when ye went forth out of Egypt; and what ye have done unto the two kings of the Emorites, who were on the other side of the Jordan, unto Sichon and 'Og, whom ye have utterly destroyed.
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 when we heard this, our heart melted, and there remained not any more courage in any man, because of you; for the Lord your God is alone God in the heavens above, and upon the earth beneath.
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,
And now swear, I pray you, unto me by the Lord, because I have shown you kindness, that ye will also, for your part, show kindness, unto my father's house; and give me a sure token,
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 ye will preserve the life of my father, and my mother, and my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives 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.
And the men said unto her, Our life shall be [doomed] to death instead of yours, if ye tell not this our business; and it shall be, when the Lord giveth us the land, that we will show thee kindness and truth.
15 Tad viņa tos ar virvi nolaida pa logu, jo viņas nams bija pie pilsētas mūra un viņa dzīvoja pie tā mūra.
Then she let them down by a cord through the window; for her house was within the town wall, and within the wall she dwelt.
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 unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet with you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned; and afterward ye may go your way.
17 Tad tie vīri uz viņu sacīja: mēs būsim vaļā no šī tava zvēresta, ko tu mums lieci zvērēt:
And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thy oath which thou hast caused us to swear.
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.
Behold, when we come into the land, this line of scarlet thread shalt thou bind in the window by which thou hast let us down; and thy father, and thy mother, and thy brothers, and all thy father's household, thou must bring together unto thee into the 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.
And it shall be, that whosoever will go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless; and whosoever will remain with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if a hand be laid upon him.
20 Bet ja tu šo mūsu lietu darīsi zināmu, tad mēs būsim vaļā no šī zvēresta, ko tu mums likusi zvērēt.
And if thou tell this our business, then will we be free of thy oath which thou hast caused us to swear.
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 said, According unto your words, so be it; and she dismissed them, and they departed; and she bound the scarlet line in 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 they went, and came unto the mountain, and they remained there three days, until the pursuers were returned; and the pursuers sought throughout all the way, but found nothing.
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 the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and related to him all the things that had befallen 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 unto Joshua, Truly the Lord hath given up into our hand all the country; for all the inhabitants of the country are already become faint-hearted because of us.
