Otra Laiku 20
1 Un pēc tam notika, ka Moaba bērni un Amona bērni, un līdz ar tiem kādi no tiem Meunim nāca, karot pret Jehošafatu.
Now after this, the children of Moab and the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Meunim, made war against Jehoshaphat.
2 Un vēstneši nāca un sacīja Jehošafatam: liels pulks nāk pret tevi no viņpus jūras, no Sīrijas, un redzi, tie ir AceconaTamarā, tas ir Enģedos.
And they came to Jehoshaphat with the news, saying, A great army is moving against you from Edom across the sea; and now they are in Hazazon-tamar (which is En-gedi).
3 Tad Jehošafats izbijās un grieza savu vaigu, To Kungu meklēt, un izsauca gavēni pa visu Jūdu.
Then Jehoshaphat, in his fear, went to the Lord for directions, and gave orders all through Judah for the people to go without food.
4 Un Jūda ļaudis sapulcinājās, meklēt no Tā Kunga palīgu, un no visām Jūda pilsētām tie nāca, To Kungu meklēt.
And Judah came together to make prayer for help from the Lord; from every town of Judah they came to give worship to the Lord.
5 Un Jehošafats stāvēja Jūda un Jeruzālemes draudzes vidū Tā Kunga namā priekš tā jaunā pagalma
And Jehoshaphat took his place in the meeting of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord in front of the new open space,
6 Un sacīja: Kungs mūsu tēvu Dievs! Vai Tu neesi Dievs debesīs un valdītājs visu ļaužu valstīs? Un Tavā rokā ir spēks un vara, ka neviens pret Tevi nevar celties!
And said, O Lord, the God of our fathers, are you not God in heaven? are you not ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? and in your hands are power and strength so that no one is able to keep his place against you.
7 Vai Tu, mūsu Dievs, šās zemes iedzīvotājus neesi izdzinis Savu Israēla ļaužu priekšā, un vai to neesi devis Ābrahāma, Sava mīļā, dzimumam uz mūžīgiem laikiem?
Did you not, O Lord our God, after driving out the people of this land before your people Israel, give it to the seed of Abraham, your friend, for ever?
8 Un tie tur dzīvojuši un Tev tur taisījuši svētu vietu Tavam vārdam, sacīdami:
And they made it their living-place, building there a holy house for your name, and saying,
9 Kad pār mums nāk nelaime, zobens, sodība, mēris un bads, tad mēs stāvēsim priekš šī nama un priekš Tava vaiga, tāpēc ka Tavs vārds ir šinī namā, un kad Tevi piesauksim savās bēdās, tad Tu paklausīsi un izpestīsi.
If evil comes on us, the sword, or punishment, or disease, or need of food, we will come to this house and to you, (for your name is in this house, ) crying to you in our trouble, and you will give us salvation in answer to our cry.
10 Un nu, redzi, Amona bērni un Moabs un tie no Seīra kalniem, kur Tu Israēlim neļāvi iet cauri, kad tie nāca no Ēģiptes zemes, bet tie no tiem atstājās un tos neizdeldēja, -
And now, see, the children of Ammon and Moab and the people of Mount Seir, whom you kept Israel from attacking when they came out of Egypt, so that turning to one side they did not send destruction on them:
11 Redzi nu, tie mums to atmaksā, nākdami, mūs izdzīt no mūsu zemes, ko Tu mums licis iemantot.
See now, how as our reward they have come to send us out of your land which you have given us as our heritage.
12 Ak mūsu Dievs! Vai Tu nenesīsi tiesu pret viņiem? Jo mums nav spēka pret šo lielo pulku, kas pret mums nāk, un mēs nezinām, ko būs darīt, bet mūsu acis griežas uz Tevi.
O our God, will you not be their judge? for our strength is not equal to this great army which is coming against us; and we are at a loss what to do: but our eyes are on you.
13 Un visa Jūda valsts stāvēja Tā Kunga priekšā, arī viņu bērni, viņu sievas un viņu dēli.
And all Judah were waiting before the Lord, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
14 Tad Tā Kunga Gars nāca draudzes vidū pār Jeaziēli, Zakarijas dēlu, tas bija Benajas, tas Jeiēļa, tas Levita Matanijas dēls, no Asafa bērniem.
Then, before all the meeting, the spirit of the Lord came on Jahaziel, the son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, a Levite and one of the family of Asaph;
15 Un tas sacīja: klausāties, visa Jūda valsts un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotāji, un ķēniņ Jehošafat, - tā saka Tas Kungs uz jums: nebīstaties un neizbaiļojaties priekš šā lielā pulka, jo tas karš nepieder jums, bet Dievam.
And he said, Give ear, O Judah, and you people of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat: the Lord says to you, Have no fear and do not be troubled on account of this great army; for the fight is not yours but God's.
16 Ejat rītu tiem pretī, redzi, tie nāks augšā pa Cic kalnu, un jūs tos sastapsiet ielejas galā šaipus Jeruēles tuksneša.
Go down against them tomorrow: see, they are coming up by the slope of Ziz; at the end of the valley, before the waste land of Jeruel, you will come face to face with them.
17 Šinī kaujā jums nebūs jākaujas, ejat tikai klāt, stāviet un redziet Tā Kunga pestīšanu, kas ir ar jums. Jūda un Jeruzāleme, nebīstaties un neizbaiļojaties, izejat rītu viņiem pretī, jo Tas Kungs būs ar jums.
There will be no need for you to take up arms in this fight; put yourselves in position, and keep where you are, and you will see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: have no fear and do not be troubled: go out against them tomorrow, for the Lord is with you.
18 Tad Jehošafats locījās ar savu vaigu pie zemes, un visi Jūda un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotāji metās pie zemes priekš Tā Kunga un pielūdza To Kungu.
Then Jehoshaphat went down with his face to the earth, and all Judah and the people of Jerusalem gave worship to the Lord, falling down before him.
19 Un tie Leviti no Kehāta bērniem un no Koraha bērniem cēlās, augsti slavēt To Kungu, Israēla Dievu ar skanīgu balsi,
And the Levites, the children of the Kohathites and the Korahites, got to their feet and gave praise to the Lord, the God of Israel, with a loud voice.
20 Un tie cēlās it agri un izgāja uz Tekoas tuksnesi, un tiem izejot Jehošafats stāvēja un sacīja: klausiet mani, Jūda un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotāji, ticiet uz To Kungu, savu Dievu, tad jūs pastāvēsiet; ticiet Viņa praviešiem, tad jums labi izdosies.
And early in the morning they got up and went out to the waste land of Tekoa: and when they were going out, Jehoshaphat took his station and said to them, Give ear to me, O Judah and you people of Jerusalem: have faith in the Lord your God and you will be safe; have faith in his prophets and all will go well for you.
21 Un viņš sarunājās ar tiem ļaudīm un iecēla dziedātājus priekš Tā Kunga, ka tie svētā glītumā slavētu, apbruņoto priekšā iedami un sacīdami: teiciet To Kungu, jo Viņa žēlastība paliek mūžīgi!
And after discussion with the people, he put in their places those who were to make melody to the Lord, praising him in holy robes, while they went at the head of the army, and saying, May the Lord be praised, for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
22 Un to brīdi, kad tie sāka dziedāt tās priecīgās un teicamās dziesmas, tad Tas Kungs sūtīja glūnētājus pret Amona bērniem, Moabu un tiem no Seīra kalniem, kas bija nākuši uz Jūdu, un tie tika sakauti.
And at the first notes of song and praise the Lord sent a surprise attack against the children of Ammon and Moab and the people of Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were overcome.
23 Jo Amona bērni un Moabs cēlās pret Seīra kalnu iedzīvotājiem un tos izdeldēja un nomaitāja, un kad tie visus Seīra iedzīvotājus bija nokāvuši, tad tie palīdzēja nomaitāt cits citu.
And the children of Ammon and Moab made an attack on the people of Mount Seir with a view to their complete destruction; and when they had put an end to the people of Seir, everyman's hand was turned against his neighbour for his destruction.
24 Un Jūda nāca kalna galā pie tuksneša un griezās pret tiem pulkiem, un redzi, tur bija miroņi, kas zemē gulēja, un neviens nebija izbēdzis.
And Judah came to the watchtower of the waste land, and looking in the direction of the army, they saw only dead bodies stretched on the earth; no living man was to be seen.
25 Tad Jehošafats un viņa ļaudis nāca un tos aplaupīja un atrada pie tiem ļoti daudz mantas un drēbes un dārgus rīkus, un paņēma tik daudz, ka nevarēja panest, un tie laupīja laupījumu trīs dienas, jo tur bija ļoti daudz.
And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their goods from them, they saw beasts in great numbers, and wealth and clothing and things of value, more than they were able to take away; all this they took for themselves, and they were three days getting it away, there was so much.
26 Un ceturtā dienā tie sapulcējās teikšanas ielejā, jo tur tie teica To Kungu, tāpēc tie tās vietas vārdu nosauca Teikšanas ieleja līdz šai dienai.
On the fourth day they all came together in the Valley of Blessing, and there they gave blessing to the Lord; for which cause that place has been named the Valley of Blessing to this day.
27 Pēc tam visi vīri no Jūda un Jeruzālemes griezās atpakaļ, un Jehošafats viņu priekšā, un gāja uz Jeruzālemi ar prieku; jo Tas Kungs viņus bija darījis priecīgus par viņu ienaidniekiem.
Then all the men of Judah and Jerusalem went back, with Jehoshaphat at their head, coming back to Jerusalem with joy; for the Lord had made them glad over their haters.
28 Un tie nonāca Jeruzālemē ar somastabulēm un koklēm un trumetēm uz Tā Kunga namu.
So they came to Jerusalem with corded instruments and wind-instruments into the house of the Lord.
29 Un bailes no Dieva nāca pār visām zemes valstīm, kad dzirdēja, ka Tas Kungs bija karojis pret Israēla ienaidniekiem.
And the fear of God came on all the kingdoms of the lands, when they had news of how the Lord made war on those who came against Israel.
30 Un Jehošafata valsts bija mierā, un viņa Dievs tam deva mieru visapkārt.
So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for the Lord gave him rest on every side.
31 Un Jehošafats valdīja pār Jūdu; viņš bija trīsdesmit piecus gadus vecs, kad tas palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja divdesmit piecus gadus Jeruzālemē, un viņa mātei bija vārds Azuba, Šilkus meita.
And Jehoshaphat was king over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling for twenty-five years in Jerusalem: his mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
32 Un viņš staigāja sava tēva Asas ceļos un neatstājās no tiem, darīdams, kas Tam Kungam patika.
He went in the ways of his father Asa, not turning away, but doing right in the eyes of the Lord.
33 Taču kalnu altāri netapa nopostīti, un vēl tie ļaudis ar savu sirdi pilnīgi neturējās pie savu tēvu Dieva.
The high places, however, were not taken away, and the hearts of the people were still not true to the God of their fathers.
34 Un kas vēl par Jehošafatu stāstāms, par viņa pirmām un pēdējām dienām, redzi, tas rakstīts Jeūs, Anana dēla, stāstos, ko viņš sarakstījis Israēla ķēniņu grāmatā.
Now as for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, they are recorded in the words of Jehu, the son of Hanani, which were put in the book of the kings of Israel.
35 Un pēc tam Jehošafats, Jūda ķēniņš, sabiedrojās ar Ahaziju, Israēla ķēniņu; tas bija bezdievīgs savos darbos.
After this Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became friends with Ahaziah, king of Israel, who did much evil:
36 Un viņš ar to vienojās, kuģus taisīt, ar ko braukt uz Taršišu, un tie taisīja kuģus EceonĢeberā.
Together they made ships to go to Tarshish, building them in Ezion-geber.
37 Bet Eliēzers, Dodava dēls, no Marezas, sludināja pret Jehošafatu sacīdams: tādēļ ka tu ar Ahaziju esi sabiedrojies, Tas Kungs salauzīs tavu darbu. Un tie kuģi tika sadragāti un nevarēja tikt uz Taršišu.
Then the word of Eliezer the prophet, the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah, came against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because you have let yourself be joined with Ahaziah, the Lord has sent destruction on your works. And the ships were broken and were not able to go to Tarshish.
