< Jozuas 22 >

1 Tad Jozuas aicināja Rūbeniešus un Gadiešus un Manasus puscilti,
At that time Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half 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 the servant of Yahweh commanded you. You have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you.
3 Jūs savus brāļus neesat atstājuši tādu ilgu laiku līdz šai dienai, bet esat turējuši, kas bija jātur, Tā Kunga, sava Dieva pavēli.
You have not deserted your brothers these many days, down to this present day, and you have fulfilled the duties required by the commandments of Yahweh your God.
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.
Now Yahweh your God has given rest to your brothers, just as he promised them. Therefore turn and go to your tents in the land you own, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you on the other side of the Jordan.
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.
Just be very careful to observe the commandments and the law that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, and to cling to him and worship him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
6 Tā Jozuas tos svētīja un atlaida, un tie aizgāja uz saviem dzīvokļiem.
So Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went back to their tents.
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.
Now to one-half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given an inheritance in Bashan, but to the other half Joshua gave an inheritance beside their brothers in the land west of the Jordan. Joshua sent them away to their tents; he blessed 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.
and said to them, “Return to your tents with much money, and with very much livestock, and with silver and gold, and with bronze and iron, and with very many garments. Divide the plunder from your enemies with your brothers.”
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 descendants of Reuben, the descendants of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh returned home, leaving the people of Israel at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan. They left to go to the region of Gilead, to their own land, which they themselves possessed, in obedience to the commandment of Yahweh, by the hand of Moses.
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.
When they came to the Jordan that is in the land of Canaan, the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half tribe of Manasseh built an altar beside the Jordan, a very large and prominent altar.
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.
The people of Israel heard about this and said, “Look! The people of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar at the front of the land of Canaan, at Geliloth, in the region near the Jordan, on the side that belongs to the people of Israel.”
12 Kad Israēla bērni to dzirdēja, tad visa Israēla bērnu draudze sapulcējās Šīlo, ka tie pret viņiem celtos ar karaspēku.
When the people of Israel heard of it, the whole assembly of the people of Israel gathered together at Shiloh to go up to make war against 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,
Then the people of Israel sent messengers to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Gilead. They also sent Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest,
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.
and with him ten leaders, one from each of the tribal families of Israel, and every one of them was the head of a family among the clan of Israel.
15 Un tie nāca pie Rūbena bērniem un pie Gada bērniem un pie Manasus puscilts Gileādas zemē, un runāja ar tiem un sacīja:
They came to the people of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Gilead, and they spoke to them:
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?
“The whole assembly of Yahweh says this, 'What is this unfaithfulness that you have committed against the God of Israel, by turning this day from following Yahweh by building yourself an altar this day in rebellion against Yahweh?
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?
Was our sin at Peor not enough for us? Yet we have not even now cleansed ourselves from it. For that sin there came a plague on the assembly of Yahweh.
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.
Must you also turn away from following Yahweh at this present day? If you also rebel against Yahweh today, tomorrow he will be angry with the whole assembly of Israel.
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 the land that you possess is defiled, then you should pass over into the land where Yahweh's tabernacle stands and take for yourselves a possession among us. Only do not rebel against Yahweh, nor rebel against us by building an altar for yourselves other than the altar of 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.
Did not Achan son of Zerah break faith in the matter of those things that had been reserved for God? Did not wrath fall on all the people of Israel? That man did not perish alone for his iniquity.'”
21 Tad Rūbena bērni un Gada bērni un Manasus puscilts atbildēja un runāja uz Israēla tūkstošu virsniekiem:
Then the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh replied in answer to the heads of the clans of Israel:
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.
“The Mighty One, God, Yahweh! The Mighty One, God, Yahweh!—He knows, and let Israel itself know! If it was in rebellion or in breach of faith against Yahweh, do not spare us on this day
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;
for having built an altar to turn ourselves away from following Yahweh. If we built that altar in order to offer on it burnt offerings, grain offerings, or peace offerings, then let Yahweh make us pay for it.
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?
No! We did it for fear that in time to come your children might say to our children, 'What have you to do with Yahweh, the God of Israel?
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.
For Yahweh has made the Jordan a border between us and you. You people of Reuben and people of Gad, you have nothing to do with Yahweh.' So your children might make our children cease to worship Yahweh.
26 Tāpēc mēs sacījām: taisīsim jel sev un uzcelsim altāri, ne dedzināmiem upuriem, nedz kaujamiem upuriem,
So we said, 'Let us now build an altar, not for burnt offerings nor for any 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.
but to be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we will perform the service of Yahweh before him, with our burnt offerings and with our sacrifices and with our peace offerings, so that your children will never say to our children in time to come, “You have no share in 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.
So we said, 'If this should be said to us or to our descendants in time to come, we would say, “Look! This is a copy of the altar of Yahweh, which our ancestors made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices, but as a witness between us and you.”
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.
May it be far from us that we should rebel against Yahweh, and today turn away from following him by building an altar for burnt offering, for grain offering, or for sacrifice, other than the altar of Yahweh our God that is before his tabernacle.'”
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 leaders of the people, that is, the heads of the clans of Israel who were with him, heard the words that the people of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh said, that it was good in their eyes.
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.
Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest said to the people of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh, “Today we know that Yahweh is among us, because you have not committed this breach of faith against him. Now you have rescued the people of Israel out of the hand of Yahweh.”
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 son of Eleazar the priest, and the leaders returned from the Reubenites and the Gadites, out of the land of Gilead, back to the land of Canaan, to the people of Israel, and brought back word to them.
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.
Their report was good in the eyes of the people of Israel. The people of Israel blessed God and spoke no more about making war against the Reubenites and the Gadites, in order to destroy the land where they had settled.
34 Un Rūbena bērni un Gada bērni nosauca to altāri: lai tas ir par liecinieku starp mums, ka Tas Kungs ir Dievs.
The Reubenites and the Gadites named the altar “Witness,” for they said, “It is a witness between us that Yahweh is God.”
