Pirmā Ķēniņu 18
1 Un pēc ilga laika Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Eliju trešā gadā tā: ej, rādies Ahabam, un Es došu lietu zemes virsū.
After many days the word of the Lord came to Elias, in the third year, saying: Go and shew thyself to Achab, that I may give rain upon the face of the earth.
2 Un Elija nogāja, Ahabam rādīties, bet bads Samarijā bija grūts.
And Elias went to shew himself to Achab, and there was a grievous famine in Samaria.
3 Un Ahabs bija aicinājis nama uzraugu Obadiju, un Obadija bijās To Kungu ļoti.
And Achab called Abdias the governor of his house: now Abdias feared the Lord very much.
4 Jo kad Izebele bija izdeldējusi Tā Kunga praviešus, tad Obadija ņēma simts praviešus un tos apslēpa pa piecdesmit vienā alā un tos uzturēja ar maizi un ūdeni.
For when Jezabel killed the prophets of the Lord, he took a hundred prophets and hid them by fifty and fifty in caves, and fed them with bread and water.
5 Un Ahabs bija sacījis uz Obadiju: ej pa to zemi pie visiem ūdens avotiem un pie visām upēm, vai mēs neatradīsim zāli, ka dzīvus uzturam zirgus un zirgēzeļus, ka tie lopi visai neiet bojā.
And Achab said to Abdias: Go into the land unto all fountains of waters, and into all valleys, to see if we can find grass, and save the horses and mules, that the beasts may not utterly perish.
6 Un tie to zemi dalīja savā starpā, to parstaigāt; Ahabs gaja viens pa vienu ceļu, un Obadija gāja arīdzan viens pa otru ceļu.
And they divided the countries between them, that they might go round about them: Achab went one way, and Abdias another way by himself.
7 Kad nu Obadija bija ceļā, redzi, tad Elija tam nāca pretī, un viņš to pazīdams metās uz savu vaigu un sacīja: vai tu neesi mans kungs Elija?
And as Abdias was in the way, Elias met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said: Art thou my lord Elias?
8 Un viņš sacīja: es tas esmu, ej, saki savam kungam: redzi, Elija ir še.
And he answered: I am. Go, and tell thy master: Elias is here.
9 Bet viņš sacīja: ko es esmu grēkojis, ka tu savu kalpu dod Ahabam rokā, ka es topu nokauts?
And he said: What have I sinned, that thou wouldst deliver me thy servant into the hand of Achab, that he should kill me?
10 Tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, dzīvo, nav nevienas tautas, nedz valsts, kurp mans kungs nebūtu sūtījis, tevi meklēt. Un kad tie sacīja: še viņa nav, tad viņš tai valstij un tai tautai lika zvērēt, ka tie tevi nebija atraduši.
As the Lord thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when all answered: He is not here: he took an oath of every kingdom and nation, because thou wast not found.
11 Un nu tu saki: ej, saki savam kungam, redzi, Elija ir še.
And now thou sayest to me: Go, and tell thy master: Elias is here.
12 Un notiks, kad es no tevis aiziešu, un Tā Kunga gars tevi aizņems, kas zin kur, un ja es būtu gājis Ahabam to sacīt, un viņš tevi pēc neatrastu, tad viņš mani nokautu. Bet es tavs kalps bīstos To Kungu no savām jaunām dienām.
And when I am gone from thee, the spirit of the Lord will carry thee into a place that I know not: and I shall go in and tell Achab, and he not finding thee, will kill me: but thy servant feareth the Lord from his infancy.
13 Vai manam kungam nav sacīts, ko es esmu darījis, kad Izebele nokāva Tā Kunga praviešus, ka es simtu no Tā Kunga praviešiem apslēpu pa piecdesmit vienā alā un tos uzturēju ar maizi un ūdeni?
Hath it not been told thee, my lord, what I did when Jezabel killed the prophets of the Lord, how I hid a hundred men of the prophets of the Lord, by fifty and fifty in caves, and fed them with bread and water?
14 Un nu tu saki: ej, saki savam kungam, redzi, Elija ir še; tad jau viņš mani nokaus.
And now thou sayest: Go, and tell thy master: Elias is here: that he may kill me.
15 Tad Elija uz to sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs Cebaot dzīvo, ka priekšā es stāvu, es šodien viņam rādīšos.
And Elias said: As the Lord of hosts liveth, before whose face I stand, this day I will shew myself unto him.
16 Tad Obadija nogāja Ahabam pretī un viņam to sacīja. Un Ahabs gāja Elijam pretī.
Abdias therefore went to meet Achab, and told him: and Achab came to meet Elias.
17 Un kad Ahabs Eliju ieraudzīja, tad Ahabs uz to sacīja: vai tu tas esi, kas Israēli sajauc?
And when he had seen him, he said: Art thou he that troublest Israel?
18 Un viņš sacīja: es Israēli neesmu sajaucis, bet tu un tava tēva nams, caur to, ka jūs esat atstājuši Tā Kunga baušļus un Baāliem pakaļ staigājuši.
And he said: I have not troubled Israel, but thou and thy father’s house, who have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and have followed Baalim.
19 Un nu sūti, sapulcini pie manis visu Israēli Karmeļa kalnā un tos četrsimt un piecdesmit Baāla praviešus un tos četrsimt Ašeras praviešus, kas ēd pie Izebeles galda.
Nevertheless send now, and gather unto me all Israel, unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, who eat at Jezabel’s table.
20 Tad Ahabs izsūtīja pie visiem Israēla bērniem un sapulcināja tos praviešus Karmeļa kalnā.
Achab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered together the prophets unto mount Carmel.
21 Tad Elija piegāja pie visiem ļaudīm un sacīja: cik ilgi jūs klibosiet uz abējām pusēm? Ja Tas Kungs ir Dievs, tad ejat viņam pakaļ, bet ja Baāls tas ir, tad ejat tam pakaļ. Un tie ļaudis tam neatbildēja ne vārda.
And Elias coming to all the people, said: How long do you halt between two sides? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people did not answer him a word.
22 Tad Elija sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: es viens vienīgs esmu atlicis, Tā Kunga pravietis, bet Baāla praviešu ir četrsimt un piecdesmit.
And Elias said again to the people: I only remain a prophet of the Lord: but the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men.
23 Un dodiet nu mums divus vēršus, un lai tie to vienu vērsi izvēlās un sacērt gabalos un liek uz malku, bet uguni tiem nebūs pielikt; tad es sataisīšu arī to otru vērsi un to likšu uz malku un nelikšu uguni klāt.
Let two bullocks be given us, and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces and lay it upon wood, but put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under it.
24 Tad piesauciet jūs sava dieva vārdu, bet es piesaukšu Tā Kunga vārdu: kurš Dievs nu ar uguni atbildēs, tas lai ir Dievs. Tad visi ļaudis atbildēja un sacīja: šis vārds ir labs.
Call ye on the names of your gods, and I will call on the name of my Lord: and the God that shall answer by fire, let him be God. And all the people answering said: A very good proposal.
25 Un Elija sacīja uz tiem Baāla praviešiem: izvēlaties to vienu vērsi un sataisiet to papriekš, jo jūs esat daudzi un piesauciet sava dieva vārdu, bet uguni neliekat klāt.
Then Elias said to the prophets of Baal: Choose you one bullock and dress it first, because you are many: and call on the names of your gods, but put no fire under.
26 Tad tie ņēma to vērsi, ko viņš tiem deva un to sataisīja un piesauca Baāla vārdu no rīta līdz dienasvidum sacīdami: Baāl, paklausi mūs! Bet tur nebija ne balss, ne atbildes! Un tie lēkāja ap to altāri, kas bija taisīts.
And they took the bullock which he gave them, and dressed it: and they called on the name of Baal from morning even till noon, saying: O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered: and they leaped over the altar that they had made.
27 Un ap dienasvidu Elija tos apsmēja un sacīja: sauciet stiprā balsī, jo viņš taču ir dievs; viņš laikam ir domās vai darīšanās vai ceļā, varbūt ka viņš guļ, lai uzmostas.
And when it was now noon, Elias jested at them, saying: Cry with a louder voice: for he is a God, and perhaps he is talking, or is in an inn, or on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep, and must be awaked.
28 Un tie sauca ar stipru balsi un iegriezās pēc sava ieraduma ar nažiem un īleniem, kamēr tiem asinis tecēja.
So they cried with a loud voice, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till they were all covered with blood.
29 Kad nu pusdiena jau bija pāri, tad tie vēl muldēja līdz ēdamā upura laikam; bet tur nebija ne balss, ne atbildes, ne uzklausīšanās.
And after midday was past, and while they were prophesying, the time was come of offering sacrifice, and there was no voice heard, nor did any one answer, nor regard them as they prayed:
30 Tad Elija sacīja uz visiem ļaudīm: nāciet šurp pie manis. Tad visi ļaudis pie tā piegāja, un viņš uztaisīja atkal Tā Kunga altāri, kas bija salauzts.
Elias said to all the people: Come ye unto me. And the people coming near unto him, he repaired the altar of the Lord, that was broken down:
31 Un Elija ņēma divpadsmit akmeņus pēc Jēkaba bērnu skaita, uz ko Tā Kunga vārds bija noticis, sacīdams: tavu vārdu būs saukt Israēli.
And he took twelve stones according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord came, saying: Israel shall be thy name.
32 Un viņš uztaisīja no tiem akmeņiem altāri Tā Kunga Vārdā, un taisīja bedri ap to altāri, tik platu, ka tur divi mēri labības varēja saiet.
And he built with the stones an altar to the name of the Lord: and he made a trench for water, of the breadth of two furrows round about the altar.
33 Un viņš salika malku un dalīja to vērsi gabalos un to nolika uz to malku.
And he laid the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it upon the wood.
34 Un viņš sacīja: pildiet četrus traukus ar ūdeni un lejiet to uz to dedzināmo upuri un uz to malku. Un viņš sacīja: dariet to vēl otru reizi. Un tie to darīja otru reizi. Un viņš sacīja: dariet to trešo reizi, un tie to darīja trešo reizi.
And he said: Fill four buckets with water, and pour it upon the burnt offering, and upon the wood. And again he said: Do the same the second time. And when they had done it the second time, he said: Do the same also the third time. And they did so the third time.
35 Un ūdens tecēja ap altāri, un bedre tapa pilna ar ūdeni.
And the water run round about the altar, and the trench was filled with water.
36 Un ap ēdamā upura laiku pravietis Elija piegāja un sacīja: Kungs, Ābrahāma, Īzaka un Israēla Dievs, šodien lai top zināms, ka Tu esi Dievs iekš Israēla un es Tavs kalps, un ka visu šo esmu darījis uz Tavu vārdu;
And when it was now time to offer the holocaust, Elias the prophet came near and said: O Lord God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel, shew this day that thou art the God of Israel, and I thy servant, and that according to thy commandment I have done all these things.
37 Paklausi mani, Kungs, paklausi mani, lai šie ļaudis atzīst, ka Tu Kungs esi Dievs, un ka Tu viņu sirdi atgriezi atpakaļ.
Hear me, O Lord, hear me: that this people may learn, that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart again.
38 Tad Tā Kunga uguns krita zemē un aprija to dedzināmo upuri un to malku un tos akmeņus un to zemi un uzlaizīja arī to ūdeni bedrē.
Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the holocaust, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
39 Kad nu visi ļaudis to redzēja, tad tie metās uz savu vaigu un sacīja: Tas Kungs ir Dievs, Tas Kungs ir Dievs.
And when all the people saw this, they fell on their faces, and they said: The Lord he is God, the Lord he is God.
40 Un Elija uz tiem sacīja: grābiet Baāla praviešus, ka neviens no tiem neizsprūk! Tad tie tos sagrāba. Un Elija tos noveda pie Ķizones upes un tos tur nokāva.
And Elias said to them: Take the prophets of Baal, and let not one of them escape. And when they had taken them, Elias brought them down to the torrent Cison, and killed them there.
41 Tad Elija sacīja uz Ahabu: celies, ēd un dzer, jo šņāc kā uz lietu.
And Elias said to Achab: Go up, eat, and drink: for there is a sound of abundance of rain.
42 Un Ahabs gāja ēst un dzert, bet Elija gāja Karmeļa kalna galā un metās zemē un lika savu vaigu starp saviem ceļiem.
Achab went up to eat and drink: and Elias went up to the top of Carmel, and casting himself down upon the earth put his face between his knees,
43 Un viņš sacīja uz savu puisi: ej jel un skaties uz jūru. Tad tas gāja un skatījās un sacīja: tur nav nekā. Tad viņš sacīja: ej atkal! Septiņām lāgām.
And he said to his servant: Go up, and look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said: There is nothing. And again he said to him: Return seven times.
44 Un septītā reizē viņš sacīja: redzi, mazs mākonīts, kā vīra plauksta, ceļas no jūras. Tad viņš sacīja: noej, saki Ahabam jūdz un brauc, ka lietus tevi neaizņem.
And at the seventh time, behold, a little cloud arose out of the sea like a man’s foot. And he said: Go up and say to Achab: Prepare thy chariot and go down, lest the rain prevent thee.
45 Un pēc tam debess apmācās ar melniem mākoņiem un vētru un stiprs lietus gāzās. Un Ahabs sēdās ratos un brauca uz Jezreēli.
And while he turned himself this way and that way, behold the heavens grew dark, with clouds, and wind, and there fell a great rain. And Achab getting up went away to Jezrahel:
46 Un Tā Kunga roka nāca pār Eliju, un tas apjoza savus gurnus un skrēja Ahabam pa priekšu līdz Jezreēlei.
And the hand of the Lord was upon Elias, and he girded up his loins and ran before Achab, till he came to Jezrahel.
