Jozuas 2

1 Un Jozuas, Nuna dēls, sūtīja slepeni divus izlūkus no Sitimas sacīdams: ejat, izlūkojiet to zemi un Jēriku. Un tie gāja un nāca kādas sievas namā, tā bija mauka, tai vārds bija Rahaba, un tie tur gulēja.

And Joshua the son of Nun secretly sent two young men out of Shittim as spies, saying, "Go, view the land, and Jericho." And the two young men went and came to Jericho and entered into the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and slept there.

2 Un Jērikus ķēniņam tapa sacīts: redzi, šinī naktī vīri nākuši no Israēla bērniem, to zemi izlūkot.

The king of Jericho was told, "Look, men of the children of Israel came in here to spy out the land."

3 Tad Jērikus ķēniņš sūtīja pie Rahabas un sacīja: dod šurp tos vīrus, kas pie tevis nākuši tavā namā, jo tie ir nākuši, visu šo zemi izlūkot.

The king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, "Bring out the men who came to you tonight; for they have come to spy out all the land."

4 Bet tā sieva ņēma tos divus vīrus un tos paslēpa un sacīja tā: tie vīri gan pie manis bija nākuši, bet es nezināju, no kurienes tie bija.

The woman took the two men and hid them. Then she said, "Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they came from.

5 Un kad vārti bija jāaizslēdz, kad metās tumšs, tad tie vīri izgāja. Es nezinu, kurp tie vīri gājuši; dzenaties tiem steigšus pakaļ, tad jūs tos panāksiet.

It happened about the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out. Where the men went, I do not know. Pursue them quickly; for you will overtake them."

6 Bet viņa tiem bija likusi uz jumtu uzkāpt un tos bija paslēpusi apakš linājiem, ko uz jumta bija izklājusi.

But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof.

7 Un tie vīri tiem dzinās pakaļ pa Jardānes ceļu līdz tai pārceļamai vietai, un vārti tapa aizslēgti pēc tam, kad bija izgājuši, kas tiem dzinās pakaļ.

The men pursued them the way to the Jordan to the fords: and as soon as those who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.

8 Un pirms tie apgūlās, viņa pie tiem uzkāpa uz jumtu.

Before they had lain down, she came up to them on the roof;

9 Un sacīja uz tiem vīriem: es zinu, ka Tas Kungs jums šo zemi devis un ka bailes no jums mums uzkritušas, un ka visi zemes iedzīvotāji jūsu priekšā izbijušies.

and she said to the men, "I know that YHWH has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.

10 Jo mēs esam dzirdējuši, kā Tas Kungs licis izsīkt niedru jūras ūdeņiem jūsu priekšā, jums no Ēģiptes zemes izejot, un ko jūs esat darījuši viņpus Jardānes tiem diviem Amoriešu ķēniņiem, Sihonam un Ogam, ko jūs esat izdeldējuši.

For we have heard how YHWH dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, whom you utterly destroyed.

11 Un to dzirdot mūsu sirds palikusi bailīga, un nav vairs drošības nevienam pret jums; jo Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, Viņš ir Dievs augšā debesīs un apakšā virs zemes.

As soon as we had heard it, our hearts melted, neither did there remain any more spirit in any man, because of you: for YHWH your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath.

12 Nu tad zvērējiet man jel pie Tā Kunga, tāpēc ka es žēlastību pie jums esmu darījusi, ka arī jūs darīsiet žēlastību pie mana tēva nama, un dodat man kādu ticamu zīmi,

Now therefore, please swear to me by YHWH, since I have dealt kindly with you, that you also will deal kindly with my father's house, and give me a true token;

13 Ka jūs atstāsiet dzīvus manu tēvu, manu māti un manus brāļus un manas māsas ar visu, kas tiem pieder, un ka jūs mūsu dvēseles izglābsiet no nāves.

and that you will save alive my father, my mother, my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and will deliver our lives from death."

14 Tad tie vīri uz to sacīja: ja mēs nedarīsim žēlastību un uzticību pie tevis, kad Tas Kungs mums šo zemi dos, tad lai mirst mūsu dvēsele jūsu vietā, ja tik jūs šo mūsu lietu nedarīsiet zināmu.

The men said to her, "Our life for yours, even to death, if you do not talk about this business of ours; and it shall be, when YHWH gives us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you."

15 Tad viņa tos ar virvi nolaida pa logu, jo viņas nams bija pie pilsētas mūra un viņa dzīvoja pie tā mūra.

Then she let them down by a cord through the window; for her house was on the side of the wall, and she lived on the wall.

16 Un viņa uz tiem sacīja: ejat kalnos, ka tie jūs nesastop, kas jums dzenās pakaļ, un paslēpjaties tur trīs dienas, tiekams tie vajātāji atgriezīsies, tad pēc ejat savu ceļu.

She said to them, "Go to the mountain, lest the pursuers find you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned. Afterward, you may go your way."

17 Tad tie vīri uz viņu sacīja: mēs būsim vaļā no šī tava zvēresta, ko tu mums lieci zvērēt:

The men said to her, "We will be guiltless of this your oath which you have made us to swear.

18 Redzi, kad mēs nākam tai zemē, tad piesien pie sava loga šo sarkano virvi, ar ko tu mūs nolaidi, un sapulcini pie sevis šai namā savu tēvu un savu māti un savus brāļus un visu tava tēva namu.

Look, when we come into the land, you shall bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which you did let us down by. You shall gather to yourself into the house your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father's household.

19 Un ikviens, kas pa tava nama durvīm izies ārā, tā asinis lai paliek uz viņa galvas, un mēs būsim nevainīgi. Bet ikviens, kas pie tevis būs namā, tā asinis lai paliek uz mūsu galvas, ja kas savu roku pie viņa pieliks.

It shall be that whoever goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood will be on his head, and we will be guiltless. Whoever is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand is on him.

20 Bet ja tu šo mūsu lietu darīsi zināmu, tad mēs būsim vaļā no šī zvēresta, ko tu mums likusi zvērēt.

But if you talk about this business of ours, then we shall be guiltless of your oath which you have made us to swear."

21 Tad viņa sacīja: lai tā ir, kā jūs sakāt. Un viņa tos atlaida, un tie aizgāja; un viņa to sarkano virvi piesēja pie loga.

She said, "According to your words, so be it." She sent them away, and they departed. She tied the scarlet line in the window.

22 Tā tie aizgāja un nāca kalnos un palika tur trīs dienas, tiekams tie vajātāji bija atpakaļ griezušies; jo tie vajātāji tos bija meklējuši pa visiem ceļiem, bet nebija atraduši.

They went, and came to the mountain, and stayed there three days, until the pursuers had returned. The pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but did not find them.

23 Tad tie divi vīri griezās atpakaļ un nonāca no tiem kalniem un cēlās pāri un nāca pie Jozuas, Nuna dēla, un teica tam visu, kas tiem bija noticis.

Then the two men returned, descended from the mountain, passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had happened to them.

24 Un tie sacīja uz Jozua: tiešām Tas Kungs visu to zemi ir devis mūsu rokās, un visi zemes iedzīvotāji no mums bīstas.

They said to Joshua, "Truly YHWH has delivered into our hands all the land. Moreover, all the inhabitants of the land melt away before us."
