Sog̒u 2
1 Un Tā Kunga eņģelis nāca no Gilgalas uz Boķimu un sacīja: Es jūs esmu izvedis no Ēģiptes un jūs ievedis tai zemē, ko jūsu tēviem esmu zvērējis, un sacījis: Es Savu derību ar jums negribu lauzt ne mūžam.
The angel of the Lord went from Gilgal to Bokim and told the people, “I led you out of the land of Egypt and brought you to this land that I promised to your forefathers, and I said I would never break the agreement I made with you.
2 Bet jums nebūs derību darīt ar šīs zemes iedzīvotājiem, viņu altārus jums būs salauzt. Bet jūs neesat klausījuši Manai balsij; kam jūs tā esat darījuši?
I also told you not to make any agreements with the people living in the land and to tear down their altars. But you refused to obey what I said. Why did you do this?
3 Tāpēc Es arī esmu sacījis: Es tos neizdzīšu jūsu priekšā, bet tie jums būs par tīkliem, un viņu dievi par slazda valgiem.
I also warned you, ‘I will not drive them out before you, and they will be snares for you, and their gods will be traps for you.’”
4 Un kad Tā Kunga eņģelis šos vārdus bija runājis uz visiem Israēla bērniem, tad tie ļaudis pacēla savu balsi un raudāja.
After the angel of the Lord had explained this to all the Israelites, the people wept out loud.
5 Un tie nosauca tās vietas vārdu Boķim (raudātāji), un upurēja tur Tam Kungam.
That's why they named the place Bokim, and they presented sacrifices there to the Lord.
6 Jo kad Jozuas tos ļaudis bija atlaidis, tad Israēla bērni bija nogājuši ikviens uz savu īpašumu, ieņemt to zemi.
After Joshua had dismissed the people, the Israelites went to take possession of the land, each to their allotted land.
7 Un tie ļaudis kalpoja Tam Kungam, kamēr Jozuas dzīvoja un kamēr tie vecaji dzīvoja, kas vēl ilgu laiku pēc Jozuas dzīvoja, kas bija redzējuši visus Tā Kunga lielos darbus, ko Viņš bija darījis pie Israēla bērniem.
The people continued to worship the Lord throughout Joshua's life, and throughout the lifetimes of the elders who outlived him, those who had seen all the wonderful things that the Lord had done for Israel.
8 Bet kad Jozuas, Nuna dēls, Tā Kunga kalps, bija nomiris simts un desmit gadus vecs,
Joshua, son of Nun, servant of the Lord, died at the age of one hundred and ten.
9 Tad tie viņu apraka viņa robežās TimnatEresā uz Efraīma kalniem, no Gaāša kalna pret ziemeļiem.
They buried him in Timnath-heres in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash, the land he had been allocated.
10 Kad nu arī viss tas dzimums bija aizgājis pie saviem tēviem, tad cēlās cits dzimums pēc viņiem, kas To Kungu nepazina, nedz tos darbus, ko Viņš bija darījis pie Israēla.
Once that generation had passed away, the generation that followed did not know the Lord, or what he had done for Israel.
11 Tad Israēla bērni darīja, kas Tam Kungam nepatika, un kalpoja Baāliem.
The Israelites did what was evil in the Lord's sight, and they worshiped the Baals.
12 Un atstāja To Kungu, savu tēvu Dievu, kas tos bija izvedis no Ēģiptes, un dzinās pakaļ citiem dieviem no to ļaužu dieviem, kas tiem bija visapkārt, un pielūdza tos un apkaitināja To Kungu.
They deserted the Lord, the God of their forefathers, who had led them out of Egypt. They followed other gods, bowing down in worship to the gods of the peoples around them, making the Lord angry.
13 Jo tie atstāja To Kungu un kalpoja Baālam un Astartēm.
They deserted the Lord and worshiped Baal and Ashtaroth idols.
14 Tad Tā Kunga bardzība iedegās pret Israēli, un Viņš tos nodeva laupītājiem rokā, kas tos aplaupīja, un Viņš tos pārdeva viņu ienaidnieku rokā visapkārt, un tie vairs nevarēja pastāvēt savu ienaidnieku priekšā.
Because the Lord was angry with Israel he handed them over to invaders who plundered them. He sold them to their enemies all around—enemies they could no longer resist.
15 Visur, kur tie izgāja, Tā Kunga roka bija pret tiem par sodu, kā Tas Kungs bija runājis un kā Tas Kungs tiem bija zvērējis, un tie tapa gauži spaidīti.
Whenever Israel went into battle, the Lord fought against them and defeated them, just as he had warned them and as he had vowed he would do. They were in a great deal of trouble.
16 Tad Tas Kungs iecēla soģus, kas tos izglāba no viņu laupītāju rokas.
Then the Lord provided them with judges, who saved them from their invaders.
17 Bet tie arī neklausīja saviem soģiem, bet maukoja pakaļ citiem dieviem un tos pielūdza; ātri tie atstājās no tā ceļa, ko viņu tēvi bija gājuši, klausīt Tā Kunga baušļus; tā tie nedarīja.
But even so, they refused to listen to their judges, and prostituted themselves by following other gods, bowing down in worship to them. They quickly abandoned the way their forefathers had followed, and they did not obey the Lord's commandments as their forefathers had.
18 Un kad Tas Kungs tiem iecēla soģus, tad Tas Kungs bija ar to soģi, un tos izglāba no viņu ienaidnieku rokas, kamēr tas soģis dzīvoja; to Tam Kungam bija žēl, ka viņi nopūtās par tiem, kas viņus spieda un spaidīja.
When the Lord provided Israel with judges over Israel, he was with each judge and saved the people from their enemies during that judge's lifetime, because the Lord felt sorry for his people, who groaned under their oppressors and persecutors.
19 Bet kad tas soģis nomira, tad tie atkāpās un palika ļaunāki nekā viņu tēvi, dzīdamies pakaļ citiem dieviem, tiem kalpodami un tos pielūgdami; tie neatstājās no saviem darbiem, nedz no savas pārgalvības ceļa.
But when the judge died, the people relapsed, and did worse things even than their forefathers, following other gods and worshiping them. They refused to give up what they were doing and held to their stubborn ways.
20 Tad Tā Kunga bardzība iedegās pret Israēli, ka Viņš sacīja: tāpēc ka šī tauta Manu derību pārkāpusi, ko Es viņu tēviem pavēlēju, un nav klausījusi Manai balsij,
As a result the Lord became angry with Israel and he told them, “Because this nation has broken the agreement I ordered their forefathers to obey, and has not paid attention to what I said,
21 Tad Es arī viņu priekšā neizdzīšu neviena no tiem pagāniem, ko Jozuas atstājis, kad viņš nomira,
from now on I won't drive out before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died.
22 Lai Es Israēli caur tiem kārdināju, vai viņi Tā Kunga ceļu sargās, staigādami pa to, tā kā viņu tēvi ir sargājušies, vai ne?
This is in order to use them to test Israel to see if they will keep the way of the Lord and follow it as their forefathers did.”
23 Tā Tas Kungs atstāja šos pagānus, tos tik drīz neizdzīdams, un tos nenodeva Jozuas rokā.
This is the reason why the Lord allowed those nations to remain, and didn't immediately drive them out by handing them over to Joshua.
