Sog̒u 9
1 Un Abimeleks, JerubBaāla dēls, gāja uz Šehemi pie savas mātes brāļiem un runāja uz tiem un uz visiem savas mātes tēva nama radiem un sacīja:
And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem unto his mother’s brethren, and communed with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother’s father, saying,
2 Runājiet lūdzami priekš visu namnieku ausīm Šehemē: kas jums ir labāki, vai ka septiņdesmit vīri, visi JerubBaāla dēli, pār jums valda, vai ka viens vīrs pār jums valda? Pieminiet, mani arīdzan esam jūsu kaulu un jūsu miesu.
Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether [is] better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, [which are] threescore and ten persons, reign over you, or that one reign over you? remember also that I [am] your bone and your flesh.
3 Tad viņa mātes brāļi viņa dēļ runāja priekš visu namnieku ausīm Šehemē visus šos vārdus un viņu sirds nesās uz Abimeleku, jo tie sacīja: viņš ir mūsu brālis.
And his mother’s brethren spake of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, He [is] our brother.
4 Un tie viņam deva septiņdesmit sudraba sēķeļus no BaālBerita nama, un Abimeleks ar tiem saderēja neliešus un nebēdniekus, kas viņam staigāja pakaļ.
And they gave him threescore and ten [pieces] of silver out of the house of Baal-berith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons, which followed him.
5 Un viņš nāca sava tēva namā uz Ovru un nokāva savus brāļus, JerubBaāla bērnus, septiņdesmit vīrus uz viena akmens; bet Jotams, JerubBaāla jaunākais dēls, atlika, jo viņš bija paslēpies.
And he went unto his father’s house at Ophrah, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, [being] threescore and ten persons, upon one stone: notwithstanding yet Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left; for he hid himself.
6 Tad visi Šehemes namnieki sapulcējās un viss Millus nams, un tie nogāja un iecēla Abimeleku par ķēniņu pie tā piemiņas ozola, kas ir Šehemē.
And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that [was] in Shechem.
7 Kad to Jotamam teica, tad viņš nogāja un nostājās Gerizima kalna paša galā un pacēla savu balsi un sauca un sacīja: klausāties mani, jūs Šehemes namnieki, tad Dievs arī jūs klausīs.
And when they told [it] to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you.
8 Koki gāja, ķēniņu pār sevi svaidīt, un sacīja uz eļļas koku: esi ķēniņš pār mums.
The trees went forth [on a time] to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.
9 Bet eļļas koks uz tiem sacīja: vai man būs atstāt savu taukumu, ko Dievs un cilvēki pie manis slavē, un noiet un līgoties pa koku virsu?
But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
10 Tad tie koki sacīja uz vīģes koku: nāc tu, esi ķēniņš pār mums.
And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, [and] reign over us.
11 Bet vīģes koks uz tiem sacīja: vai man būs atstāt savu saldumu un savus labos augļus un noiet un līgoties pa koku virsu?
But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?
12 Tad tie koki sacīja uz vīnakoku: nāc tu un esi ķēniņš pār mums.
Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, [and] reign over us.
13 Bet vīnakoks uz tiem sacīja: vai man būs atstāt savu vīnu, kas dievus un cilvēkus iepriecina, un noiet un līgoties pa koku virsu?
And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
14 Tad visi koki sacīja uz ērkšķu krūmu: nāc tu un esi ķēniņš pār mums.
Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, [and] reign over us.
15 Tad ērkšķu krūms uz tiem kokiem sacīja: kad jūs tiešām mani svaidiet sev par ķēniņu, tad nāciet un uzticaties manai paēnai, bet ja ne, tad lai uguns iziet no ērkšķu krūma un norij Lībanus ciedru kokus.
And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, [then] come [and] put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
16 Un nu, vai jūs esat taisni un pareizi darījuši, Abimeleku celdami par ķēniņu, un vai jūs esat labi darījuši pie JerubBaāla un viņa nama un viņam darījuši pēc viņa roku nopelna?
Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands;
17 Jo mans tēvs jūsu dēļ karojis un savu dzīvību nometis un jūs izglābis no Midijaniešu rokas,
(For my father fought for you, and adventured his life far, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian:
18 Bet jūs šodien esat cēlušies pret mana tēva namu un nokāvuši viņa dēlus, septiņdesmit vīrus uz viena akmens, un esat iecēluši Abimeleku,
And ye are risen up against my father’s house this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he [is] your brother; )
19 Ja nu jūs šodien taisni un pareizi esat darījuši pie JerubBaāla un pie viņa nama, tad priecājaties par Abimeleku, un lai viņš arīdzan priecājās par jums.
If ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, [then] rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you:
20 Bet ja ne, tad lai uguns iziet no Abimeleka un norij Šehemes namniekus un Millus namu, un lai uguns iziet no Šehemes namniekiem un no Millus nama un norij Abimeleku.
But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech.
21 Tad Jotams bēga un aizbēga uz Beru un dzīvoja tur, no sava brāļa Abimeleka bīdamies.
And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother.
22 Kad nu Abimeleks trīs gadus bija valdījis pār Israēli,
When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel,
23 Tad Dievs sūtīja ļaunu garu starp Abimeleku un Šehemes namniekiem, un Šehemes namnieki turējās viltīgi pret Abimeleku,
Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech:
24 Ka tas varas darbs pie tiem septiņdesmit JerubBaāla dēliem nāktu un viņa asinis grieztos uz Abimeleku, viņu brāli, kas tos bija nokāvis, un tos, kas bija stiprinājuši, savus brāļus nokaut.
That the cruelty [done] to the threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, which slew them; and upon the men of Shechem, which aided him in the killing of his brethren.
25 Un Šehemes namnieki sūtīja kādus, kas ar viltu uz viņu glūnēja kalna galos, un tie visus aplaupīja, kas pa to ceļu gāja, un tas Abimelekam tapa sacīts.
And the men of Shechem set liers in wait for him in the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them: and it was told Abimelech.
26 Un Gaāls, Ebeda dēls, nāca ar saviem brāļiem un gāja uz Šehemi, un Šehemes namnieki viņam uzticējās,
And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went over to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him.
27 Un izgāja uz lauku un nolasīja savus vīna kalnus un spaidīja ogas un svinēja prieka svētkus, un gāja sava dieva namā un ēda un dzēra un lādēja Abimeleku.
And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trode [the grapes], and made merry, and went into the house of their god, and did eat and drink, and cursed Abimelech.
28 Un Gaāls, Ebeda dēls, sacīja: kas ir Abimeleks, un kas ir Šehems, ka mums viņam būs kalpot? Vai tas nav JerubBaāla dēls un Zebuls viņa uzraugs? Kalpojiet labāki, Hamora, Šehema tēva, vīriem, jo kāpēc lai mēs viņam kalpojam?
And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who [is] Abimelech, and who [is] Shechem, that we should serve him? [is] not [he] the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for why should we serve him?
29 Ak kaut šie ļaudis būtu manā rokā, gan es Abimeleku izdzītu. Un uz Abimeleku viņš sacīja: vairo savu karaspēku un nāc ārā.
And would to God this people were under my hand! then would I remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine army, and come out.
30 Kad Zebuls, tās pilsētas virsnieks, Gaāla, Ebeda dēla, vārdus dzirdēja, tad viņš apskaitās,
And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.
31 Un sūtīja slepeni vēstnešus pie Abimeleka un sacīja: redzi, Gaāls, Ebeda dēls, un viņa brāļi ir nākuši uz Šehemi, un redzi, tie ceļ dumpi pret tevi pilsētā.
And he sent messengers unto Abimelech privily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren be come to Shechem; and, behold, they fortify the city against thee.
32 Un nu celies naktī, tu un tie ļaudis, kas pie tevis, un paslēpies laukā;
Now therefore up by night, thou and the people that [is] with thee, and lie in wait in the field:
33 Un rītā agri, kad saule lec, tad celies un uzbrūc tai pilsētai, un redzi, kad viņš un tie ļaudis, kas pie viņa, ies ārā tev pretī, tad dari viņam, kā tava roka māk.
And it shall be, [that] in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, thou shalt rise early, and set upon the city: and, behold, [when] he and the people that [is] with him come out against thee, then mayest thou do to them as thou shalt find occasion.
34 Tad Abimeleks un visi ļaudis, kas pie viņa bija, cēlās naktī un paslēpās pret Šehemi četros pulkos.
And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that [were] with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies.
35 Un Gaāls, Ebeda dēls, izgāja ārā un stāvēja priekš pilsētas vārtiem. Tad Abimeleks un tie ļaudis, kas pie viņa bija, cēlās, kur bija apslēpušies.
And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and Abimelech rose up, and the people that [were] with him, from lying in wait.
36 Kad nu Gaāls tos ļaudis ieraudzīja, tad viņš sacīja uz Zebulu: redzi, no kalnu galiem nāk ļaudis. Bet Zebuls uz to sacīja: tev šķiet kalna ēnu cilvēkus esam.
And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, there come people down from the top of the mountains. And Zebul said unto him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as [if they were] men.
37 Tad Gaāls vēl runāja un sacīja: redzi, ļaudis nāk no augšgala un viens pulks nāk pa ceļu no burvju ozola.
And Gaal spake again and said, See there come people down by the middle of the land, and another company come along by the plain of Meonenim.
38 Tad Zebuls uz viņu sacīja: kur nu ir tava mute, ar ko tu sacīji: kas ir Abimeleks, ka lai tam kalpojam? Vai šie nav tie ļaudis, ko tu esi apsmējis? Izej jel nu ārā un karo pret viņu.
Then said Zebul unto him, Where [is] now thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst, Who [is] Abimelech, that we should serve him? [is] not this the people that thou hast despised? go out, I pray now, and fight with them.
39 Un Gaāls izgāja Šehemes namnieku priekšā un karoja pret Abimeleku.
And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech.
40 Un Abimeleks tam dzinās pakaļ, un tas bēga no viņa, un daudz krita nokauti līdz vārtiem.
And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and many were overthrown [and] wounded, [even] unto the entering of the gate.
41 Un Abimeleks palika Arumā, bet Zebuls izdzina Gaālu un viņa brāļus, ka tie Šehemē nepalika.
And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his brethren, that they should not dwell in Shechem.
42 Un notika otrā dienā, ka tie ļaudis gāja uz lauku, un tas Abimelekam tapa sacīts.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech.
43 Tad viņš ņēma tos (kara) ļaudis un tos dalīja trijos pulkos un paslēpās laukā. Un viņš skatījās, un redzi, tie ļaudis izgāja no pilsētas; tad viņš cēlās pret tiem un tos nokāva.
And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field, and looked, and, behold, the people [were] come forth out of the city; and he rose up against them, and smote them.
44 Un Abimeleks un tie pulki, kas pie viņa bija, uzbruka un nostājās priekš pilsētas vārtiem, bet tie divi pulki uzbruka visiem, kas bija laukā, un tos nokāva.
And Abimelech, and the company that [was] with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and the two [other] companies ran upon all [the people] that [were] in the fields, and slew them.
45 Un Abimeleks karoja pret to pilsētu visu to dienu un uzņēma to pilsētu un nokāva tos ļaudis, kas tanī bija, un nopostīja to pilsētu un apsēja to ar sāli.
And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and slew the people that [was] therein, and beat down the city, and sowed it with salt.
46 Kad nu visi Šehemes pils namnieki to dzirdēja, tad tie gāja tai stiprā Berita dieva nama tornī.
And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard [that], they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith.
47 Un Abimelekam tas tapa sacīts, ka visi Šehemes pils namnieki bija sapulcējušies.
And it was told Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.
48 Tad Abimeleks gāja uz Calmon kalnu, viņš un visi ļaudis, kas pie viņa bija, un Abimeleks ņēma cirvi savā rokā un nocirta koka zaru un to uzcēla un lika uz savu kamiesi un sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm, kas pie tā bija: ko esat redzējuši mani darām, to dariet steigšus tāpat.
And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that [were] with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid [it] on his shoulder, and said unto the people that [were] with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, [and] do as I [have done].
49 Tad arī visi ļaudis nocirta ikkatrs zaru un gāja Abimelekam pakaļ, un tos pielika pie tā stiprā torņa un iededzināja pār tiem to torni ar uguni, ka visi Šehemes pils ļaudis nomira līdz tūkstoš vīru un sievu.
And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put [them] to the hold, and set the hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.
50 Un Abimeleks gāja uz Tebecu un apmetās pret Tebecu un to uzņēma.
Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it.
51 Bet pilsētas vidū bija stipra pils, uz turieni visi vīri un sievas un visi pilsētas namnieki bēga un ieslēdzās un uzkāpa uz pils jumtu.
But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut [it] to them, and gat them up to the top of the tower.
52 Tad Abimeleks nāca pie tās pils un karoja pret to un piegāja pie pils durvīm, viņu ar uguni sadedzināt.
And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire.
53 Tad viena sieva nometa dzirnu akmens gabalu uz Abimeleka galvu un satrieca viņa galvas kausu.
And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech’s head, and all to brake his skull.
54 Tad viņš steigšus piesauca to puisi, savu bruņu nesēju, un uz to sacīja: izvelc savu zobenu un nokauj mani, lai no manis nesaka: viena sieva viņu nokāvusi. Un viņa puisis to nodūra, ka nomira.
Then he called hastily unto the young man his armourbearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say not of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.
55 Kad nu Israēla vīri redzēja, ka Abimeleks bija nomiris, tad tie gāja ikkatrs uz savām mājām.
And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man unto his place.
56 Tā Dievs Abimelekam maksāja to ļaunumu, ko viņš bija darījis savam tēvam, nokaudams savus septiņdesmit brāļus.
Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren:
57 Un Dievs Šehemes vīriem atmaksāja visu ļaunumu uz viņu galvām, un Jotama, JerubBaāla dēla, lāsti nāca pār tiem.
And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.
