Otra Laiku 18

1 Un Jehošafatam bija daudz bagātības un godības un viņš palika rada Ahabam.

Now Jehoshaphat had great wealth and honour, and his son was married to Ahab's daughter.

2 Un pēc kādiem gadiem viņš nogāja pie Ahaba uz Samariju. Un Ahabs viņam un tiem ļaudīm, kas viņam bija līdz, kāva avis un vēršus lielu pulku, un to paskubināja iet pret Rāmotu Gileādā.

And after some years he went down to Samaria to see Ahab. And Ahab made a feast for him and the people who were with him, putting to death great numbers of sheep and oxen; and he got Jehoshaphat to go with him to Ramoth-gilead.

3 Un Ahabs, Israēla ķēniņš, sacīja uz Jehošafatu, Jūda ķēniņu: vai tu gribi ar mani iet pret Rāmotu Gileādā? Un tas uz viņu sacīja: es būšu kā tu, un mani ļaudis, kā tavi ļaudis, un mēs iesim tev līdz karā.

For Ahab, king of Israel, said to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead? And he said, I am as you are, and my people as your people; we will be with you in the war.

4 Un Jehošafats sacīja uz Israēla ķēniņu: vaicā jel šodien Tā Kunga vārdu.

Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Let us now get directions from the Lord.

5 Tad Israēla ķēniņš sapulcināja praviešus, četrsimt vīrus, un uz tiem sacīja: vai mums būs iet karā pret Rāmotu Gileādā, jeb vai man nebūs iet? Un tie sacīja: ej, jo Dievs to nodos ķēniņa rokā.

So the king of Israel got together all the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Am I to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And they said, Go up: for God will give it into the hands of the king.

6 Bet Jehošafats sacīja: vai šeitan vēl nav kāds no Tā Kunga praviešiem, ka tam varētu vaicāt?

But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no other prophet of the Lord here from whom we may get directions?

7 Un Israēla ķēniņš sacīja uz Jehošafatu: vēl ir viens vīrs, caur ko To Kungu var vaicāt, bet es viņu ienīstu, jo tas man nesludina labas lietas, bet ļaunas vien, Miha, Jemlas dēls. Un Jehošafats sacīja: lai ķēniņš tā nerunā.

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is still one man by whom we may get directions from the Lord, but I have no love for him, because he has never been a prophet of good to me, but only of evil: he is Micaiah, the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

8 Tad Israēla ķēniņš sauca vienu kambarjunkuri un sacīja: atved steigšus Mihu, Jemlas dēlu.

Then the king of Israel sent for one of his unsexed servants and said, Go quickly and come back with Micaiah, the son of Imla.

9 Un Israēla ķēniņš un Jehošafats, Jūda ķēniņš, sēdēja ikkatrs uz sava krēsla ar savām drēbēm apģērbti, un tie sēdēja pagalmā priekš Samarijas vārtiem, un visi tie pravieši sludināja viņu priekšā.

Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were seated on their seats of authority, dressed in their robes, by the doorway into Samaria; and all the prophets were acting as prophets before them.

10 Un Cedeķija, Knaēnas dēls, sev taisīja dzelzs ragus un sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs: ar šiem tu badīsi Sīriešus, tiekams tos būsi izdeldējis.

And Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made himself iron horns and said, The Lord says, Pushing back the Aramaeans with these, you will put an end to them completely.

11 Un visi pravieši sludināja sacīdami: celies pret Rāmotu Gileādā, tev būs laba laime, jo Tas Kungs to dos ķēniņa rokā.

And all the prophets said the same thing, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and it will go well for you, for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.

12 Un tas vēstnesis, kas bija gājis Mihu aicināt, uz to runāja un sacīja: redzi jel, tie pravieši runā vienā mutē labu ķēniņam, lai jel tavs vārds tāpat ir kā viņu vārds, un runā labu.

Now the servant who had gone to get Micaiah said to him, See now, all the prophets with one voice are saying good things to the king; so let your words be like theirs, and say good things.

13 Bet Miha sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo: ko mans Dievs man sacīs, to es runāšu.

And Micaiah said, By the living Lord, whatever the Lord says to me I will say.

14 Un kad viņš ķēniņa priekšā nāca, tad ķēniņš uz viņu sacīja: Miha, vai mums būs iet karā pret Rāmotu Gileādā, jeb vai man nebūs iet? Un tas sacīja: ceļaties, jums būs laba laime, jo tie taps doti jūsu rokā.

When he came to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, are we to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And he said, Go up, and it will go well for you; and they will be given up into your hands.

15 Bet ķēniņš uz viņu sacīja: cik reiz lai es tev piekodināju, man cita nekā nesacīt, kā vien kas tiesa Tā Kunga Vārdā?

And the king said to him, Have I not, again and again, put you on your oath to say nothing to me but what is true in the name of the Lord?

16 Un viņš sacīja: es redzēju visu Israēli izklīdinātu pa kalniem, kā avis, kam nav gana, un Tas Kungs sacīja: šiem nav kunga, lai iet ikviens ar mieru savā namā.

Then he said, I saw all Israel wandering on the mountains like sheep without a keeper; and the Lord said, These have no master: let them go back, every man to his house in peace.

17 Tad Israēla ķēniņš sacīja uz Jehošafatu: vai es tev neesmu sacījis, ka viņš par mani labu nesludina bet ļaunu vien?

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not say that he would not be a prophet of good to me, but of evil?

18 Un (Miha) sacīja: tādēļ klausiet Tā Kunga vārdu: es redzēju To Kungu sēžam uz Sava godības krēsla un visu debess spēku ap Viņu stāvam pa labo un pa kreiso roku.

Then he said, Give ear now to the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord seated on his seat of power, and all the army of heaven in their places, at his right hand and at his left.

19 Un Tas Kungs sacīja: kas pierunās Ahabu, Israēla ķēniņu, ka tas ceļas un krīt Rāmotā Gileādā? Un viens runāja šā otrs tā.

And the Lord said, How may Ahab, king of Israel, be tricked into going up to Ramoth-gilead to his death? And one said one thing and one another.

20 Tad viens gars izgāja un nostājās Tā Kunga priekšā un sacīja: es viņu pārrunāšu. Bet Tas Kungs sacīja uz to: kā tad?

Then a spirit came forward and took his place before the Lord and said, I will get him to do it by a trick. And the Lord said to him, How?

21 Un viņš sacīja: es iziešu un būšu melu gars visu viņa praviešu mutē. Un viņš sacīja: tev būs viņu pierunāt un tu to arī spēsi, ej un dari tā.

And he said, I will go out and be a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Your trick will have its effect on him: go out and do so.

22 Un nu, redzi, Tas Kungs ir devis melu garu šo tavu praviešu mutē, un Tas Kungs ļaunu pret tevi runājis.

And now, see, the Lord has put a spirit of deceit in the mouth of these prophets of yours; and the Lord has said evil against you.

23 Tad Cedeķija, Knaēnas dēls, piegāja un sita Miham vaigā un sacīja: kā gan Tā Kunga Gars no manis būtu atstājies, runāt, ar tevi?

Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and gave Micaiah a blow on the side of his face, saying, Where is the spirit of the Lord whose word is in you?

24 Un Miha sacīja: tu to redzēsi tai dienā, kad no vienas istabas otrā iesi paslēpties.

And Micaiah said, Truly, you will see on that day when you go into an inner room to keep yourself safe.

25 Un Israēla ķēniņš sacīja: ņemiet Mihu un vediet viņu atpakaļ pie Amona, pilsētas virsnieka, un pie Joasa, ķēniņa dēla,

And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah and send him back to Amon, the ruler of the town, and to Joash, the king's son;

26 Un sakāt: tā saka ķēniņš: lieciet šo cietumā un ēdiniet to ar bēdu maizi un ar bēdu ūdeni, kamēr es vesels atkal pārnākšu.

And say, By the king's order this man is to be put in prison, and given prison food till I come back in peace.

27 Un Miha sacīja: ja tu vesels atkal pārnāksi, tad Tas Kungs caur mani nav runājis. Un viņš sacīja: klausāties, visi ļaudis!

And Micaiah said, If you come back at all in peace, the Lord has not sent his word by me.

28 Tā Israēla ķēniņš un Jehošafats, Jūda ķēniņš, cēlās pret Rāmotu Gileādā.

So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up to Ramoth-gilead.

29 Un Israēla ķēniņš sacīja uz Jehošafatu: es pārģērbies iešu kaujā, bet tu apģērbies ar savām drēbēm. Un Israēla ķēniņš pārģērbās, un tie gāja kaujā.

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will make a change in my clothing, so that I do not seem to be the king, and will go into the fight; but do you put on your robes. So the king of Israel made a change in his dress, and they went to the fight.

30 Un Sīriešu ķēniņš saviem ratu virsniekiem bija pavēlējis un sacījis: nelaužaties pret nevienu, ne mazu ne lielu, kā tik vien pret Israēla ķēniņu.

Now the king of Aram had given orders to the captains of his war-carriages, saying, Make no attack on small or great, but only on the king of Israel.

31 Kad nu tie ratu virsnieki redzēja Jehošafatu, tad tie sacīja: tas ir Israēla ķēniņš. Un tie to apstāja uz viņu lauzdamies. Bet Jehošafats brēca, un Tas Kungs tam palīdzēja un Dievs tos no viņa novērsa.

So when the captains of the war-carriages saw Jehoshaphat, they said, It is the king of Israel. And turning about, they came round him, but Jehoshaphat gave a cry, and the Lord came to his help, and God sent them away from him.

32 Jo kad tie ratu virsnieki redzēja, ka šis nebija Israēla ķēniņš, tad tie griezās no viņa atpakaļ.

Now when the captains of the war-carriages saw that he was not the king of Israel, they went back from going after him.

33 Bet viens vīrs no nejauši uzvilka savu stopu un iešāva Israēla ķēniņam starp sprādzēm un krūšu bruņām. Tad ķēniņš sacīja uz savu ratu vadoni: griez un izved mani no kaujas, jo es esmu ievainots.

And a certain man sent an arrow from his bow without thought of its direction, and gave the king of Israel a wound where his breastplate was joined to his clothing; so he said to the driver of his war-carriage, Go to one side and take me away out of the army, for I am badly wounded.

34 Un kaušanās vairojās tai dienā, un Israēla ķēniņš stāvēja savos ratos Sīriešiem pretī līdz pat vakaram un nomira, kad saule nogāja.

But the fight became more violent while the day went on; and the king of Israel was supported in his war-carriage facing the Aramaeans till the evening; and by sundown he was dead.
