Pirmā Ķēniņu 2
1 Kad nu Dāvidam laiks atnāca mirt, tad viņš pavēlēja savam dēlam Salamanam un sacīja:
The time of David's death was approaching, so he gave his son Solomon these last instructions:
2 Es eju visas pasaules ceļu. Tāpēc ņemies drošu prātu un turies kā vīrs.
“I am about to go the way everybody on earth must go. Be brave, and act like a man.
3 Un sargi, kas jāsargā Tam Kungam, tavam Dievam, staigādams Viņa ceļos, turēdams Viņa likumus, Viņa baušļus un Viņa tiesas un Viņa liecības, tā kā Mozus bauslībā ir rakstīts, ka tu prātīgi turies iekš visa, ko tu dari, un visur, kurp tu griezies.
Do what God orders you to do, follow his ways. Keep his rules, his commands, and his laws and regulations, as written in the Law of Moses, so you may be successful in everything you do, and in everything you give your attention to.
4 Lai Tas Kungs Savu vārdu apstiprina, ko Tas uz mani runājis, sacīdams: ja tavi dēli savu ceļu sargās, staigādami priekš Mana vaiga uzticīgi ar visu savu sirdi un ar visu savu dvēseli, tad, Viņš sacīja, tev netrūks vīra, kas sēdēs uz Israēla goda krēsla.
If so, then the Lord will keep his promise to me when he said: ‘If your descendants are to live right before me, faithfully and with complete commitment, then you will always have one of them on the throne of Israel.’
5 Tu arī gan zini, ko Joabs, Cerujas dēls, man ir darījis, un ko viņš darījis Israēla kara virsniekiem, Abneram, Nera dēlam, un Amasum, Jetera dēlam, ka viņš tos nokāvis, un kara asinis izlējis miera laikā un kara asinis licis pie savas jostas, kas ap viņa gurniem, un pie savām kurpēm, kas pie viņa kājām
In addition, you know what Joab, son of Zeruiah, did to me and what he did to Abner, son of Ner, and Amasa, son of Jether, the two army commanders of Israel. He murdered them, spilling the blood of war during a time of peace. He smeared the blood of war on his belt and on his sandals.
6 Tāpēc dari pēc savas gudrības, ka tu viņa sirmiem matiem nelieci ar mieru nākt kapā. (Sheol h7585)
Do what you think is right, but don't let his gray head go down peacefully into the grave. (Sheol h7585)
7 Bet Barzilajus, tā Gileādieša, dēliem, tev būs labu darīt, ka tie ir starp tiem, kas ēd pie tava galda, jo tā tie turējās pie manis, kad es bēgu priekš tava brāļa Absaloma.
But be kind to the sons of Barzillai of Gilead. Bring them into your royal court, for they helped me when I ran from your brother Absalom.
8 Un redzi, pie tevis ir Šimejus, Ģera dēls, tas Benjaminiets no Bakurim, kas mani lādēja ar briesmīgu lādēšanu tai dienā, kad es uz Mahānaīm gāju. Bet viņš man nonāca pretī pie Jardānes, un es viņam pie Tā Kunga esmu zvērējis, sacīdams; es tevi ar zobenu nekaušu.
Don't you forget Shimei, son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim who cursed me with painful words when I went to Mahanaim. When he met me at the Jordan I swore to him by the Lord, ‘I will not kill you with the sword.’
9 Bet tu neturi viņu par nenoziedzīgu, jo tu esi gudrs vīrs un gan zināsi, ko tev viņam būs darīt, ka tu viņa sirmiem matiem ar asinīm lieci nākt bedrē. (Sheol h7585)
So don't leave him unpunished. You're a wise man and you know what you have to do to him—send him down into the grave with blood on his gray head.” (Sheol h7585)
10 Tā Dāvids gāja dusēt pie saviem tēviem un tapa aprakts Dāvida pilsētā.
Then David died and his was buried in the City of David.
11 Un tas laiks, kamēr Dāvids ķēniņš bijis pār Israēli, ir četrdesmit gadi; septiņus gadus viņš bija valdījis Hebronē un trīsdesmit un trīs gadus Jeruzālemē.
His reign over Israel lasted forty years; seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
12 Un Salamans sēdēja uz sava tēva Dāvida goda krēsla, un viņa valstība tapa varen stiprināta.
Solomon took over as king, sitting on the throne of his father David, and his hold on his kingdom was secure.
13 Un Adonija, Aģitas dēls, nāca pie Batsebas, Salamana mātes; un tā sacīja: vai tu nāc ar mieru? Un viņš sacīja: ar mieru.
Adonijah, son of Haggith, went to see Bathsheba, Solomon's mother. She asked him, “Have you come here with good intentions?” He replied, “Yes, with good intentions.”
14 Un viņš sacīja: man ar tevi kas jārunā. Un viņa sacīja: runā.
“I have something I'd like to ask of you,” he continued. “Go on,” she said.
15 Tad viņš sacīja: tu zini, ka man tā valstība piederēja, un visas Israēla acis uz mani skatījās, ka man bija ķēniņam būt; bet nu tā valstība ir novērsta un manam brālim tikusi, jo no Tā Kunga tā viņam ir tikusi.
“You know that the kingdom was mine,” he declared, “and everyone in Israel was looking forward to me being their next king. But everything was turned upside-down, and the kingdom passed to my brother, because that's what the Lord wanted.
16 Bet nu es no tevis lūdzu vienu vienīgu lūgšanu, - neapkauno manu vaigu!
Now I've just one request to ask of you—please don't say no.” “Tell me,” she said.
17 Un viņa uz to sacīja: runā. Tad viņš sacīja: runā jel ar ķēniņu Salamanu, jo viņš tavu vaigu neliks kaunā, ka viņš man Abizagu no Šunemes dod par sievu.
He went on, “Please talk to King Solomon for me because he won't turn you down. Ask him to give me Abishag from Shunem as my wife.”
18 Un Batseba sacīja: labi, es tevis pēc ar ķēniņu runāšu.
“Very well,” Bathsheba replied. “I will talk to the king for you.”
19 Tā Batseba nāca pie ķēniņa Salamana, Adonijas labad ar viņu runāt. Un ķēniņš cēlās viņai pretī un paklanījās priekš tās; un viņš apsēdās uz sava goda krēsla un deva ķēniņa mātei arī krēslu, un tā sēdēja pa viņa labo roku.
So Bathsheba went to talk to King Solomon for Adonijah. The king got up from his throne to meet her, and bowed before her. Then he sat back down and ordered another throne brought in for his mother. She sat to his right.
20 Un viņa sacīja: es lūdzos no tevis vienu mazu lūgšanu, - neapkauno manu vaigu. Un ķēniņš uz to sacīja: lūdz, mana māte, es tavu vaigu neapkaunošu.
“I have just one small request to ask of you,” she said. “Please don't say no.” The king replied, “Ask away, dear mother. I won't say no to you.”
21 Un viņa sacīja: dod Abizagu no Šunemes savam brālim Adonijam par sievu.
“Please give Abishag from Shunem to your brother Adonijah as his wife,” she replied.
22 Tad ķēniņš Salamans atbildēja un sacīja uz savu māti: kāpēc tad tu prasi Abizagu no Šunemes priekš Adonijas? Prasi priekš viņa arī to valstību, jo viņš ir mans brālis, vecāks nekā es, priekš viņa un Abjatara, tā priestera, un Joaba, Cerujas dēla!
King Solomon answered his mother, “Why on earth are you asking me to give Abishag to Adonijah? You might as well ask me to give my brother the kingdom! He is my older brother, and Abiathar the priest and Joab, son of Zeruiah, are on his side!”
23 Un ķēniņš Salamans zvērēja pie Tā Kunga un sacīja: lai man Dievs šā un tā dara, tiešām, Adonija šo vārdu būs runājis pret savu dzīvību.
Then King Solomon vowed before the Lord, “May God punish me, really punish me, if what Adonijah has asked for doesn't cost him his life.
24 Un nu, tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo, kas mani apstiprinājis un mani sēdinājis uz mana tēva Dāvida goda krēslu, un kas man ir namu cēlis, itin kā viņš runājis, tiešām, Adonija šodien taps nokauts.
So I vow, as the Lord lives, who affirmed me as king and placed me on the throne of my father David, making me the head of a dynasty as he promised, Adonijah shall be executed today.”
25 Un ķēniņš Salamans nosūtīja pavēli Benajam, Jojadas dēlam; šis to nokāva, un tas nomira.
King Solomon sent Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, who carried out the king's orders and executed Adonijah.
26 Un uz priesteri Abjataru ķēniņš sacīja: ej uz Anatotu, uz savu tīrumu, jo tu esi nāvi pelnījis. Bet es tevi šodien nenokaušu, tāpēc ka tu Tā Kunga Dieva šķirstu nesis mana tēva Dāvida priekšā, un ka tu līdz panesis visu, ko mans tēvs panesis.
In the case of Abiathar, the high priest, the king told him, “Go home and take care of your fields. You should be condemned to death, but I will not kill you right now because you carried the Ark of the Lord God ahead of my father David and went through all his hard times with him.”
27 Tā Salamans izdzina Abjataru, ka tas Tam Kungam vairs nebija par priesteri, lai piepildītos Tā Kunga vārds, ko viņš par Elus namu Šīlo bija runājis.
So Solomon dismissed Abiathar from his position as priest of the Lord, and so fulfilled what the Lord had said at Shiloh regarding the descendants of Eli.
28 Kad nu šī vēsts pie Joaba nāca (jo Joabs bija turējies pie Adonijas, jebšu nebija turējies pie Absaloma), tad Joabs bēga Tā Kunga teltī un satvēra altāra ragus.
When Joab heard the news he ran to the Lord's Tent and grabbed hold of the horns of the altar. (He had not supported Absalom's rebellion but he had supported Adonijah.)
29 Un ķēniņam Salamanam tapa sacīts, ka Joabs bēdzis Tā Kunga teltī, un redzi, viņš ir pie altāra. Tad Salamans sūtīja Benaju, Jojadas dēlu, un sacīja: ej, kauj viņu.
When King Solomon was told that Joab was seeking sanctuary by the altar, he sent Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, to execute him.
30 Un kad Benaja uz Tā Kunga telti nāca, tad viņš uz to sacīja: tā saka ķēniņš: ej ārā. Bet viņš sacīja: nē, bet še es gribu mirt. Tad Benaja nesa ķēniņam atbildi un sacīja: tā Joabs ir runājis un tā viņš man ir atbildējis.
Benaiah went to the Lord's Tent and told called to Joab, “The king orders you to come out!” “No! I'll die here!” Joab replied. Benaiah went back to the king and told him what Joab had said.
31 Un ķēniņš uz viņu sacīja: dari tā, kā viņš ir runājis, kauj viņu un aproc viņu, ka tu no manis un no mana tēva nama atņem tās asinis, ko Joabs velti izlējis.
“Do as he says,” the king told Benaiah. “Strike him down and bury him. In that way you will remove from me and my family the guilt of the innocent blood that Joab shed.
32 Un Tas Kungs lai liek viņa asinīm atkal nākt uz viņa galvu, tāpēc ka viņš ir sitis divus vīrus, kas labāki un taisnāki bija nekā viņš, un tos ir nokāvis ar zobenu, bez mana tēva Dāvida ziņas, proti Abneru, Nera dēlu, Israēla kara virsnieku, un Amasu, Jetera dēlu, Jūda kara virsnieku.
The Lord will pay him back for the blood he shed, for without my father David's knowledge, he killed two good men who were better than he was. With his sword he killed Abner, son of Ner, commander of Israel's army, and Amasa, son of Jether, commander of Judah's army.
33 Viņu asinis lai atkal nāk uz Joaba galvu un uz viņa dzimuma galvu mūžīgi. Bet Dāvidam un viņa dzimumam un viņa namam un viņa goda krēslam lai ir miers no Tā Kunga mūžīgi.
May the responsibility for shedding their blood come back on Joab and his descendants forever; but may the Lord give peace and prosperity to David, his descendants, his family, and his dynasty forever.”
34 Un Benaja, Jojadas dēls, nogāja un sita viņu un to nokāva. Un viņš tapa aprakts savā namā tuksnesī.
So Benaiah son of Jehoiada returned and killed Joab. He was buried at his home in the wilderness.
35 Un ķēniņš iecēla Benaju, Jojadas dēlu, viņa vietā pār karaspēku, un priesteri Cadoku ķēniņš iecēla Abjatara vietā.
The king appointed Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, to take over Joab's role as army commander, and replaced Abiathar with Zadok the priest.
36 Un ķēniņš nosūtīja un lika Šimeju aicināt, un uz to sacīja: uztaisi sev namu Jeruzālemē un dzīvo tur un neizej no turienes it nekur;
Then the king summoned Shimei and told him, “Go and build yourself a house in Jerusalem and stay there, but don't leave and go anywhere else.
37 Un notiks, kurā dienā tu iziesi un iesi pār Kidronas upi, tad zini tiešām, ka tu mirdams mirsi, - tavas asinis lai paliek uz tavas galvas.
You should know for certain that the day you leave and cross the Kidron Valley you will die. Your death will be your own responsibility.”
38 Tad Šimejus sacīja uz ķēniņu: tas ir labs vārds; kā mans kungs, tas ķēniņš, ir runājis, tā tavs kalps darīs. Tā Šimejus dzīvoja Jeruzālemē labu laiku.
“What Your Majesty says is fair,” Shimei replied. “Your servant will do as my lord the king has ordered.” Shimei lived in Jerusalem for a long time.
39 Un notikās pēc trim gadiem, ka Šimejum divi kalpi aizbēga pie Aķisa, Maēkas dēla, Gatas ķēniņa. Un Šimejum teica un sacīja: redzi, tavi kalpi ir Gatā.
But three years later, two of Shimei's slaves escaped to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. Shimei was told, “Look, your slaves are in Gath.”
40 Tad Šimejus cēlās un apsegloja savu ēzeli un nogāja uz Gatu pie Aķisa, savus kalpus meklēt. Un tā Šimejus nogāja un atveda savus kalpus no Gatas.
So Shimei saddled up his donkey and went to Achish in Gath to look for his slaves. He found them and brought them back from Gath.
41 Un Salamanam tapa sacīts, ka Šimejus no Jeruzālemes bija nogājis uz Gatu un atkal pārnācis.
Solomon was informed that Shimei had left Jerusalem to go to Gath, and had then returned.
42 Tad ķēniņš sūtīja un sauca Šimeju un uz to sacīja: vai es tevi pie Tā Kunga neesmu apzvērinājis un tev piekodinājis sacīdams: kurā dienā tu iziesi un iesi šur vai tur, tad zini tiešām, ka tev jāmirst? Un tu sacīji uz mani: es esmu labu vārdu dzirdējis.
The king summoned Shimei and asked him, “Didn't I vow to you by the Lord, didn't I warn you that the day you left and went somewhere else that you should know for certain that you would die? Didn't you reply to me, ‘What Your Majesty says is fair; I'll do as you ordered’?
43 Kāpēc tad tu neesi turējis Tā Kunga zvērestu un to pavēli, ko es tev esmu pavēlējis?
So why haven't you kept your vow to the Lord, and obeyed my orders?”
44 Un ķēniņš sacīja uz Šimeju: tu zini visu to ļaunu, ko tava sirds apzinās, ko tu manam tēvam Dāvidam darījis, tāpēc Tas Kungs tavam ļaunumam atkal licis nākt uz tavu galvu.
The king also told Shimei, “Deep down you know all the evil things you did to my father David. That's why the Lord will repay you for your evil.
45 Bet ķēniņš Salamans būs svētīts, un Dāvida goda krēsls būs pastāvīgs priekš Tā Kunga mūžīgi.
But I, King Solomon, will be blessed and David's dynasty will be kept safe in the presence of the Lord forever.”
46 Un ķēniņš pavēlēja Benajam, Jojadas dēlam; tas izgāja un viņu sita, un tas nomira. Tā valstība kļuva apstiprināta caur Salamana roku.
The king ordered Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, to execute Shimei, so he went and killed Shimei. In this way Solomon's hold on the kingdom was made secure.
