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.
Yahweh [appeared in the form of] an angel [and] went up from Gilgal to [a place that was later called] Bokim. He said [to the Israeli people], “I brought your [ancestors] up here from Egypt. I led them into this land that I solemnly promised to give to your ancestors. I said to them, ‘The agreement that I made with you, as for me, I will never (break it/say that it is ended).
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?
But as for you, you must never make a peace agreement with the people who live in this land. You must tear down the altars [where they make sacrifices to idols].’ But you have not obeyed me.
3 Tāpēc Es arī esmu sacījis: Es tos neizdzīšu jūsu priekšā, bet tie jums būs par tīkliem, un viņu dievi par slazda valgiem.
So now, I am telling you that I will not expel [your enemies] as you advance. They will be like thorns in your sides. And [they] will try to trap you [by making you worship] their idols.”
4 Un kad Tā Kunga eņģelis šos vārdus bija runājis uz visiem Israēla bērniem, tad tie ļaudis pacēla savu balsi un raudāja.
After he told that to all the Israelis, the people cried loudly.
5 Un tie nosauca tās vietas vārdu Boķim (raudātāji), un upurēja tur Tam Kungam.
They called that place Bokim, [which means ‘weeping’]. There they offered sacrifices to Yahweh.
6 Jo kad Jozuas tos ļaudis bija atlaidis, tad Israēla bērni bija nogājuši ikviens uz savu īpašumu, ieņemt to zemi.
After Joshua sent the Israeli people away, each group went to possess the land that had been allotted to them.
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.
They served Yahweh as long as Joshua was alive, and as long as the elders, those who had seen all the great things that Yahweh had done for Israel, were alive.
8 Bet kad Jozuas, Nuna dēls, Tā Kunga kalps, bija nomiris simts un desmit gadus vecs,
Then Yahweh’s servant Joshua died. He was 110 years old when he died.
9 Tad tie viņu apraka viņa robežās TimnatEresā uz Efraīma kalniem, no Gaāša kalna pret ziemeļiem.
They buried his body in the area he had received [from Moses], at Timnath-Serah, in the area where the descendants of Ephraim lived, north of Gaash Mountain.
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.
After all the people died who lived at the same time as Joshua [EUP], a group of people grew up who did not know Yahweh, and did not know what great things he had done for the Israeli people.
11 Tad Israēla bērni darīja, kas Tam Kungam nepatika, un kalpoja Baāliem.
They did things that Yahweh said were very evil. They worshiped [idols that represented the god] Baal and the goddess Astarte. They worshiped [DOU] the various gods that the people-groups around them worshiped. They stopped worshiping Yahweh, the God their ancestors worshiped, the one who had brought their ancestors out of Egypt. That caused Yahweh to be very angry.
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.
13 Jo tie atstāja To Kungu un kalpoja Baālam un Astartēm.
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.
So he allowed people from other groups to raid them and steal their crops and animals. They were no longer able to resist their enemies, and Yahweh allowed all their enemies around them to defeat them.
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 the Israelis went to fight [their enemies], Yahweh [MTY] was opposing them, and allowed their enemies to defeat them, just as he had promised he would do. So the Israelis were greatly distressed.
16 Tad Tas Kungs iecēla soģus, kas tos izglāba no viņu laupītāju rokas.
Then Yahweh gave leaders to them. These leaders rescued the Israelis from the people who were raiding them.
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 the Israelis still would not pay attention to their leaders. Instead, they went to the idols, [acting like] prostitutes [who gave themselves to men who were not their husbands] [MET], and they worshiped those idols. They were not like their ancestors. Their ancestors obeyed what Yahweh commanded, but their descendants quickly stopped behaving as their ancestors had behaved.
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.
Whenever Yahweh gave a leader to them, he helped that leader and enabled him to rescue the people from their enemies. He helped them like that as long as that leader was alive. Yahweh pitied them as they groaned because they were being oppressed and caused to suffer.
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 after that leader died, the people went back to behaving in ways even more evil than their ancestors had behaved. They worshiped other gods and bowed down to them and did all [LIT] the things that they thought those gods wanted them to do.
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,
So Yahweh was very angry with the Israeli people. He said, “These people have disobeyed the agreement I made with their ancestors. They have not done what I told them to do.
21 Tad Es arī viņu priekšā neizdzīšu neviena no tiem pagāniem, ko Jozuas atstājis, kad viņš nomira,
So I will no longer expel the people-groups that Joshua left in this land 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?
I will use them to test the Israeli people to see whether they will do what I want them to do, as their ancestors did.”
23 Tā Tas Kungs atstāja šos pagānus, tos tik drīz neizdzīdams, un tos nenodeva Jozuas rokā.
Yahweh had allowed those people-groups to stay in that land. He did not expel them by allowing Joshua [and his men] to defeat them.
