Jozuas 22
1 Tad Jozuas aicināja Rūbeniešus un Gadiešus un Manasus puscilti,
Joshua then summoned the leaders of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh.
2 Un uz tiem sacīja: jūs visu esat turējuši, ko jums Mozus, Tā Kunga kalps, pavēlējis, un esat klausījuši manai balsij visās lietās, ko es jums esmu pavēlējis.
He said to them, “You have done everything that Moses, who served Yahweh [well], told you to do. You have also done what I told you to do.
3 Jūs savus brāļus neesat atstājuši tādu ilgu laiku līdz šai dienai, bet esat turējuši, kas bija jātur, Tā Kunga, sava Dieva pavēli.
For a long time you have helped the other tribes [to defeat their enemies]. You have obeyed everything that Yahweh your God commanded you to do.
4 Un nu Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, mieru ir devis jūsu brāļiem, tā kā Viņš tiem bija runājis. Tad nu griežaties atpakaļ un ejat uz saviem dzīvokļiem, uz savu īpašu zemi, ko jums Tā Kunga kalps Mozus devis viņpus Jardānes.
He promised to give peace to us Israelis, and he has done what he promised. So now you may go back to your homes, to the land that Moses gave to you, on the east side of the Jordan [River].
5 Bet no Dieva puses dariet to likumu un to bauslību, ko jums Mozus, Tā Kunga kalps, ir pavēlējis, ka jūs mīļojat To Kungu, savu Dievu, un staigājat visos Viņa ceļos un turat Viņa baušļus un Viņam pieķeraties un Viņam kalpojat no visas savas sirds un no visas savas dvēseles.
Moses also commanded you to love Yahweh your God and to obey his commands, and to continue to worship him and serve him by everything that you think and everything that you do.”
6 Tā Jozuas tos svētīja un atlaida, un tie aizgāja uz saviem dzīvokļiem.
Then Joshua blessed them and said goodbye to them, and they [prepared to] leave and return to their homes [on the east side of the Jordan River].
7 Jo vienai Manasus cilts pusei Mozus to (daļu) bija devis Basanā, bet viņas otrai pusei Jozuas to daļu deva pie viņu brāļiem šaipus Jardānes pret vakariem.
Moses had given the Bashan region to half the tribe of Manasseh, and land on the west side of the Jordan [River] to the other half of the tribe. Before they left, he [asked God to] bless them.
8 Kad Jozuas tos atlaida uz viņu dzīvokļiem, tad viņš tos svētīja un uz tiem runāja sacīdams: ar lielu bagātību jūs griežaties atpakaļ uz saviem dzīvokļiem, ar varen daudz lopiem, ar sudrabu un zeltu un ar varu un ar dzelzi un ar ļoti daudz drēbēm. Daliet savu ienaidnieku laupījumu ar saviem brāļiem.
He said, “Go back to your homes and to all the things that you have taken from your enemies—the many animals and silver and gold and [things made of] bronze and iron, and many beautiful clothes. But you should share some of those things with other people of your tribe.”
9 Tā Rūbena bērni un Gada bērni un Manasus puscilts griezās atpakaļ un aizgāja no Israēla bērniem no Šīlo Kanaāna zemē, un gāja uz Gileādas zemi, uz savu īpašu zemi, kur tie par mantiniekiem bija iecelti pēc Tā Kunga pavēles caur Mozu.
So the people of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh left the other Israelis at Shiloh in Canaan land, to return to their homes in the Gilead region. That was the area that belonged to them. It had been allotted to them by Moses as Yahweh had commanded.
10 Kad tie nu nāca uz Jardānes apgabalu, kas Kanaāna zemē, tad Rūbena bērni un Gada bērni un Manasus puscilts tur uzcēla altāri pie Jardānes, lielu altāri, kur bija ko redzēt.
The people from those three tribes arrived near the western side of the Jordan River, at a town called Geliloth. There they built a large altar. [Then they crossed the Jordan River to the Gilead region].
11 Un Israēla bērni dzirdēja sakām: Redzi, Rūbena bērni un Gada bērni un Manasus puscilts ir uzcēluši altāri Kanaāna zemei pretī, Jardānes apgabalā, Israēla bērniem pretim.
But the other Israelis who were still at Shiloh heard about the altar that those men had built.
12 Kad Israēla bērni to dzirdēja, tad visa Israēla bērnu draudze sapulcējās Šīlo, ka tie pret viņiem celtos ar karaspēku.
They became very angry with the men of those tribes, so they decided to fight them.
13 Un Israēla bērni sūtīja pie Rūbena bērniem un pie Gada bērniem un pie Manasus puscilts uz Gileādas zemi Pinehasu, Eleazara, tā priestera, dēlu,
The Israelis sent Phinehas, who was the son of Eleazar the Supreme Priest, to [talk with] the people of those three tribes.
14 Un desmit virsniekus līdz ar viņu, no ikviena tēva nama vienu virsnieku no visām Israēla ciltīm, un ikviens no tiem bija tā galva savu tēvu namā pār Israēla tūkstošiem.
They also sent one leader from each of the ten tribes that were still at Shiloh. Each of them was a leader of his clan.
15 Un tie nāca pie Rūbena bērniem un pie Gada bērniem un pie Manasus puscilts Gileādas zemē, un runāja ar tiem un sacīja:
Those leaders went to the Gilead region to talk to the people of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh. They said,
16 Tā saka visa Tā Kunga draudze: kas tas par noziegumu, ko jūs pret Israēla Dievu esat noziegušies, nogriezdamies šodien no Tā Kunga, ka jūs sev esat uztaisījuši altāri, Tam Kungam šodien pretī turēdamies?
“All the other Israelis are asking, ‘Why have you rebelled against the God whom we Israelis [worship] by building an altar for yourselves?
17 Vai tas Peora noziegums mums vēl ir mazs, no kā mēs (vēl) neesam šķīstījušies līdz šai dienai, jebšu mocība Tā Kunga draudzē ir bijusi?
Have you forgotten what happened at Peor, [when some Israelis sinned by worshiping the god that the Moab people-group worship]? Many Israelis became very sick and died because of that sin, and we are still suffering because of their sin.
18 Un jūs šodien nogriežaties no Tā Kunga; bet notiks, kad jūs Tam Kungam šodien turēsities pretī, tad Viņš rīt dusmosies par visu Israēla draudzi.
Are you now turning away from obeying Yahweh and refusing to do what he wants? If you do not stop rebelling against Yahweh today, he will be angry with all of us Israelis tomorrow.’
19 Bet ja jums šķiet, savu iemantoto zemi nešķīstu esam, tad nāciet pāri uz Tā Kunga īpašu zemi, kur Tā Kunga dzīvoklis stāv, un ņemiet savu daļu mūsu vidū, bet neturaties pretī Tam Kungam, nedz turaties pretī mums, uzceldami sev altāri klāt pie Tā Kunga, mūsu Dieva, altāra.
“If [you think that Yahweh considers] that your land here is not suitable for worshiping him, come back to our land where Yahweh’s Sacred Tent is. We can share our land with you. But do not rebel against Yahweh and against us by building another altar for Yahweh our God.
20 Vai Akans, Zerus dēls, nebija ļoti noziedzies pie tā, kas bija izdeldējams? Un bardzība nāca pār visu Israēla draudzi, un tas vīrs nenomira viens vien sava nozieguma dēļ.
Do you remember what happened when Zerah’s son Achan refused to obey [Yahweh’s command to destroy everything in Jericho]? That one man disobeyed God’s command, but many [HYP] other Israelis were punished. Achan died because of his sin, but other Israelis also died.”
21 Tad Rūbena bērni un Gada bērni un Manasus puscilts atbildēja un runāja uz Israēla tūkstošu virsniekiem:
The [leaders of the] tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh replied,
22 Tas stiprais Dievs, Dievs, Tas Kungs, tas stiprais Dievs, Dievs, Tas Kungs, tas zin, un arī Israēlim būs zināt, ja tas ir no pretestības vai caur noziegumu pret To Kungu, tad lai Viņš mums šodien nepalīdz.
“Yahweh, the Almighty God, knows [why we did that], and we want you to know, too. If we have done something wrong [against Yahweh], you may kill us.
23 Ja mēs tāpēc sev altāri esam uzcēluši, ka gribam nogriezties no Tā Kunga, vai uz tā upurēt dedzināmos upurus vai ēdamus upurus vai pateicības upurus, tad lai Tas Kungs to piemeklē;
If we have disobeyed one of Yahweh’s laws, we request that he should punish us. We did not build that new altar to completely burn animals as sacrifices to Yahweh, or to offer on it sacrifices of grain or sacrifices to maintain fellowship with God.
24 Un ja mēs to neesam darījuši šo lietu bīdamies un sacīdami: rītu jūsu bērni uz mūsu bērniem runās un sacīs: kas jums par daļu ar To Kungu, Israēla Dievu?
“This is the reason that we built that altar: We were afraid/worried that some day your descendants would say that our descendants are not true Israelis. We were afraid that then they would say, ‘You are not allowed to worship Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship].
25 Tas Kungs par robežu ir licis to Jardāni starp mums un jums, jūs Rūbena bērni un jūs Gada bērni, jums nav daļas pie Tā Kunga; tad jūsu bērni mūsu bērniem liktu atstāties no Tā Kunga bijāšanas.
Yahweh caused the Jordan River to be a boundary between us and you people of the tribes of Reuben and Gad. So you are not allowed to worship Yahweh.’ We were worried that your descendants would force our descendants to stop worshiping Yahweh.
26 Tāpēc mēs sacījām: taisīsim jel sev un uzcelsim altāri, ne dedzināmiem upuriem, nedz kaujamiem upuriem,
“That is the reason that we decided to build that [new] altar. But it is not an altar for completely burning sacrifices of animals and [burning other] sacrifices.
27 Bet ka tas būtu par liecinieku starp mums un jums, un starp mūsu radiem pēc mums, ka mēs Tam Kungam ar kalpošanu varam kalpot Viņa priekšā, ar saviem dedzināmiem upuriem un ar saviem kaujamiem upuriem un ar saviem pateicības upuriem, un lai jūsu bērni turpmāk uz mūsu bērniem nevar sacīt: jums nav daļas pie Tā Kunga.
We built that new altar to prove/show to you and to us and to all of our descendants that we worship Yahweh by completely burning animal sacrifices and offerings of grain and offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh [only at the place Yahweh chooses]. We do not want your descendants to say to our descendants, ‘You do not belong to Yahweh.’
28 Tāpēc mēs sacījām: kad notiek, ka tie uz mums vai uz mūsu pēcnākamiem turpmāk tā sacīs; tad mēs sacīsim: redziet Tā Kunga altāra taisījumu, ko mūsu tēvi ir taisījuši, ne dedzināmiem upuriem, nedz kaujamiem upuriem, bet par liecību starp jums un mums.
“In the future, if your descendants say that, our descendants can say, ‘Look at the altar that our ancestors made! It is exactly like Yahweh’s altar [that our ancestors built], but we do not burn sacrifices on it. It only shows that we are Israelis!’
29 Lai tas ir tālu no mums, ka mēs būtu pretī turējušies Tam Kungam, vai šodien no Tā Kunga nogriezušies, uzceldami vēl vienu altāri dedzināmiem upuriem, ēdamiem upuriem un kaujamiem upuriem klāt pie Tā Kunga, mūsu Dieva, altāra, kas ir Viņa dzīvokļa priekšā.
We certainly do not want to rebel against Yahweh or stop doing what he desires, by building an altar for completely burning some sacrifices and burning grain offerings and making [other] sacrifices. [We know that] there is only one true altar for Yahweh our God, and it is in front of the Sacred Tent [at Shiloh].”
30 Kad priesteris Pinehas un tie draudzes virsnieki un tās galvas pār Israēla tūkstošiem, kas pie tā bija, dzirdēja tos vārdus, ko Rūbena bērni un Gada bērni un Manasus bērni runāja, tad tas viņiem patika.
When Phinehas the priest and the other [ten] leaders heard what they said, they were pleased.
31 Un Pinehas, priestera Eleazara dēls, sacīja uz Rūbena bērniem un uz Gada bērniem un uz Manasus bērniem: šodien mēs atzīstam, ka Tas Kungs ir mūsu vidū, ka jūs ar šo noziegumu neesat noziegušies pret To Kungu; nu jūs Israēla bērnus esat izglābuši no Tā Kunga rokas.
So Phinehas said to them, “Now we know that Yahweh is with all of us Israelis, and that you were not rebelling against him [when you built that altar]. And we know that Yahweh will not punish us Israelis [because of your having done that].”
32 Tad Pinehas, priestera Eleazara dēls, un tie virsnieki griezās atpakaļ no Rūbena bērniem un no Gada bērniem no Gileāda zemes uz Kanaāna zemi pie Israēla bērniem un viņiem atsacīja šo vārdu.
Then Phinehas and the Israeli leaders left the people of the tribes of Reuben and Gad in the Gilead region, and returned to Canaan. There they told the other Israelis what had happened.
33 Un tas vārds patika Israēla bērniem, un Israēla bērni teica Dievu un vairs nedomāja pret viņiem celties ar karaspēku nedz to zemi postīt, kur Rūbena bērni un Gada bērni dzīvoja.
They were pleased, and they thanked God. And they did not talk any more about fighting against the people of the tribes of Reuben and Gad and destroying everything in their land.
34 Un Rūbena bērni un Gada bērni nosauca to altāri: lai tas ir par liecinieku starp mums, ka Tas Kungs ir Dievs.
The people of the tribes of Reuben and Gad named their new altar ‘A reminder to us all that Yahweh is God’.
