Pirmā Ķēniņu 20
1 Un BenHadads, Sīrijas ķēniņš, sapulcināja visu savu spēku, un trīsdesmit un divi ķēniņi bija viņam līdz un zirgi un rati, un viņš nogāja un apmetās pret Samariju, un karoja pret to.
Ben Hadad king of Aram gathered all his army together. There were thirty-two lesser kings with him, and horses and chariots. He went up, besieged Samaria and fought against it.
2 Un viņš sūtīja vēstnešus pilsētā pie Ahaba, Israēla ķēniņa,
He sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel, and said to him, “Ben Hadad says this:
3 Un lika tam sacīt: tā saka BenHadads: tavs sudrabs un tavs zelts būs mans, arī tavas sievas un tavi labākie bērni būs mani.
'Your silver and your gold are mine. Also your wives and children, the best ones, are now mine.'”
4 Un Israēla ķēniņš atbildēja un sacīja: pēc tava vārda, mans kungs un ķēniņ, es esmu tavs, un viss, kas man ir.
The king of Israel answered and said, “It is as you say, my master, king. I and all that I have are yours.”
5 Un tie vēstneši nāca atkal atpakaļ un sacīja: tā runā BenHadads un saka: es gan pie tevis esmu sūtījis un licis sacīt: tavu sudrabu un tavu zeltu un tavas sievas un tavus bērnus tev man būs dot,
The messengers came again and said, “Ben Hadad says this, 'I sent word to you saying that you must give me your silver, your gold, your wives, and your children.
6 Bet rītu ap šo laiku es savus kalpus pie tevis sūtīšu, izmeklēt tavu namu un tavu kalpu namu, un viss, kas tur skaists priekš tavām acīm, to tiem būs ņemt un aiznest.
But I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they will search your house and your servants' houses. They will seize with their own hands and take away whatever pleases their eyes.'”
7 Tad Israēla ķēniņš saaicināja visas zemes vecajus un sacīja: ņemiet jel vērā un redziet, kā šis ļaunu meklē. Jo tas pie manis ir sūtījis pēc manām sievām un pēc maniem bērniem un pēc mana sudraba un zelta, un es tam to neesmu liedzis.
Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land together and said, “Please take note and see how this man seeks trouble. He has sent word to me in order to take my wives, children, and silver and gold, and I have not refused him.”
8 Bet visi vecaji un visi ļaudis uz viņu sacīja: nepaklausi un neļauj to.
All the elders and all the people said to Ahab, “Do not listen to him or consent to his demands.”
9 Tad viņš sacīja uz BenHadada vēstnešiem: sakāt ķēniņam, manam kungam: visu, par ko tu pirmo reizi pie sava kalpa sūtījis, to es darīšu, bet šo lietu es nevaru darīt. Tad tie vēstneši nogāja un viņam atsacīja to vārdu.
So Ahab said to the messengers of Ben Hadad, “Tell my master the king, 'I agree to everything that you sent your servant to do the first time, but I cannot accept this second demand.'” So the messengers left and took this response to Ben Hadad.
10 Un BenHadads sūtīja pie viņa un lika sacīt: lai man dievi šā vai tā dara, ja Samarijas pīšļi pietiks visu ļaužu saujām, kas man ir līdz.
Then Ben Hadad sent his reply to Ahab, and said, “May the gods do so to me and more also, if even the ashes of Samaria will be enough for all the people who follow me to have a handful each.”
11 Bet Israēla ķēniņš atbildēja un sacīja: atsakiet tā: kas apjozies, tas lai nelielās kā tas, kas atjozies.
The king of Israel answered and said, “Tell Ben Hadad, 'No one who is just putting on his armor, should boast as if he were taking it off.'”
12 Kad nu tas šo vārdu dzirdēja, ar tiem ķēniņiem teltīs dzerot, tad viņš sacīja uz saviem kalpiem taisāties. Un tie taisījās pret to pilsētu.
Ben Hadad heard this message as he was drinking, he and the kings under him who were in their tents. Ben Hadad commanded his men, “Line yourselves up in position for battle.” So they prepared themselves in position of battle to attack the city.
13 Un redzi, viens pravietis nāca pie Ahaba, Israēla ķēniņa, un sacīja: “Tā saka Tas Kungs: vai tu esi redzējis visu šo lielo pulku? Redzi, Es to šodien došu tavā rokā, lai tu atzīsti, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs.”
Then behold, a prophet came to Ahab king of Israel and said, “Yahweh says, 'Have you seen this great army? Look, I will place it into your hand today, and you will know that I am Yahweh.'”
14 Un Ahabs sacīja: “Caur ko?” Tad viņš sacīja: “Tā saka Tas Kungs: caur zemes valdnieku puišiem.” Un viņš sacīja: “Kas lai uzsāk kauju?” Tad viņš sacīja: “Tu pats.”
Ahab replied, “By whom?” Yahweh replied and said, “By the young officers who serve the governors of the districts.” Then Ahab said, “Who will begin the battle?” Yahweh answered, “You.”
15 Tad viņš skaitīja tos zemes valdnieku puišus, to bija divsimt trīsdesmit un divi. Un pēc tiem viņš skaitīja visus ļaudis, visus Israēla bērnus, to bija septiņi tūkstoši.
Then Ahab mustered the young officers who served the governors of the districts. They numbered 232. After them he mustered all the soldiers, all the army of Israel; seven thousand in number.
16 Un tie izgāja dienasvidū. Bet BenHadads dzēra un piedzērās teltīs ar tiem trīsdesmit un diviem ķēniņiem, kas tam bija palīgā.
They went out at noon. Ben Hadad had been drinking himself drunk in his tent, he and the thirty-two lesser kings who were supporting him.
17 Un tie zemes valdnieku puiši izgāja papriekš. Tad BenHadads izsūtīja, un tie tam teica un sacīja: vīri nāk no Samarijas.
The young officers who served the governors of the districts went forward first. Then Ben Hadad was informed by scouts that he had sent out, “Men are coming out from Samaria.”
18 Tad viņš sacīja: vai tie nākuši uz mieru, sagrābiet tos dzīvus, vai tie nākuši uz kauju, dzīvus tos sagrābiet!
Ben Hadad said, “Whether they have come out for peace or war, take them alive.”
19 Kad nu šie zemes valdnieku puiši no pilsētas bija izgājuši un arī tas karaspēks, kas tiem gāja pakaļ,
So the young officers who served the governors of the districts went out of the city and the army followed them.
20 Tad tie kāva vīrs vīru. Un Sīrieši bēga un Israēls tiem dzinās pakaļ. Bet BenHadads, Sīrijas ķēniņš, izglābās uz zirga un ar jātniekiem.
Each man killed his opponent. The Arameans fled and Israel pursued them. Ben Hadad the king of Aram escaped on a horse along with some horsemen.
21 Un Israēla ķēniņš izgāja un kāva zirgus un ratus un kāva Sīriešus lielā kaušanā.
Then the king of Israel went out and attacked the horses and chariots, and killed the Arameans in a great slaughter.
22 Tad tas pravietis nāca pie Israēla ķēniņa un uz to sacīja; ej, stiprinājies: ņem vērā un lūko, ko tu dari, jo nākošā gadā Sīrijas ķēniņš atkal nāks pret tevi.
So the prophet came to the king of Israel and said to him, “Go, strengthen yourself, and understand and plan what you are doing, because at the return of the year the king of Aram will come up against you again.”
23 Jo Sīrijas ķēniņa kalpi uz to sacīja: viņu dievi ir kalna dievi, tāpēc tie bijuši stiprāki nekā mēs. Kaut mums ar tiem būtu jākaro klajumā! Varbūt ka mēs būtu stiprāki nekā tie.
The servants of the king of Aram said to him, “Their god is a god of the hills. That is why they were stronger than we were. But now let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they are.
24 Tāpēc dari tā: atcel tos ķēniņus, ikvienu no viņa vietas, un iecel viņu vietā virsniekus.
So you must do this: Remove all the kings from their positions of authority and replace them with military commanders.
25 Un taisi sev karaspēku, kāds tas bija, kas tev zudis, un zirgus, kā bija zirgi, un ratus, kā bija rati, un iesim ar tiem kauties klajumā; vai nebūsim stiprāki par tiem? Un tas klausīja viņu balsi un tā darīja.
Raise up an army like the army you lost—horse for horse and chariot for chariot—so we can fight them in the plain. Then surely we will be stronger than they are.” So Ben Hadad listened to their advice and did what they advised.
26 Un otrā gadā BenHadads skaitīja Sīriešus un cēlās uz Afeku, karot pret Israēli.
After the beginning of the new year, Ben Hadad mustered the Arameans and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.
27 Un Israēla bērni arī tapa skaitīti un izrīkoti, un gāja tiem pretī, un Israēla bērni apmetās tiem pretī, kā divi kazu pulciņi, bet zeme bija Sīriešu pilna.
The people of Israel were mustered and supplied to fight against them. The people of Israel camped before them like two little flocks of goats, but the Arameans filled the countryside.
28 Un tas Dieva vīrs nāca un runāja uz Israēla ķēniņu un sacīja: “Tā saka Tas Kungs: tāpēc ka Sīrieši sacījuši: Tas Kungs ir kalnu Dievs un ne arī ieleju Dievs, tad visu šo lielo pulku Es dodu tavā rokā, lai jūs atzīstat, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs.”
Then a man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel and said, “Yahweh says: 'Because the Arameans have said that Yahweh is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys, I will place this great army into your hand, and you will know that I am Yahweh.'”
29 Un tie palika apmetušies viens otram pretim septiņas dienas. Un septītā dienā kaušanās sākās, un Israēla bērni nokāva no Sīriešiem simts tūkstoš kājniekus vienā dienā.
So the armies camped opposite each other for seven days. Then on the seventh day the battle started. The people of Israel killed 100,000 Aramean footmen in one day.
30 Un tie atlikušie bēga uz Afekas pilsētu, un mūris sagruva pār divdesmit un septiņtūkstošiem no šiem atlikušiem. Un BenHadads bēga un nāca pilsētā no vienas istabas otrā.
The rest fled to Aphek, into the city, and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who were left. Ben Hadad fled and went into the city, into an inner room.
31 Tad viņa kalpi uz to sacīja: redzi, mēs esam dzirdējuši, ka Israēla nama ķēniņi ir žēlīgi ķēniņi. Apvilksim maisus ap saviem gurniem un virves ap savām galvām, un iesim ārā pie Israēla ķēniņa; vai viņš tavai dvēselei neļaus dzīvot.
Ben Hadad's servants said to him, “Look now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please let us put sackcloth around our waists and ropes around our heads, and go out to the king of Israel. Perhaps he will spare your life.”
32 Un tie apvilka maisus ap saviem gurniem un virves ap savām galvām, un nāca pie Israēla ķēniņa un sacīja: tavs kalps BenHadads saka: ļauj jel manai dvēselei dzīvot. Tad tas sacīja: vai viņš vēl dzīvs? Viņš ir mans brālis.
So they put sackcloth on their waists and ropes around their heads and then went to the king of Israel and said, “Your servant Ben Hadad said, 'Please let me live.'” Ahab said, “Is he still alive? He is my brother.”
33 Un tie vīri saprata šo vārdu sev par labu un steigšus to lika sev apstiprināt no viņa un sacīja: tad BenHadads tavs brālis? Un viņš sacīja: ejat un atvediet to šurp. Tad BenHadads iznāca pie viņa, un viņš tam lika kāpt ratos.
Now the men were listening for any sign from Ahab, so they quickly answered him, “Yes, your brother Ben Hadad is alive.” Then Ahab said, “Go and bring him.” Then Ben Hadad came to him, and Ahab had him come up into his chariot.
34 Un BenHadads uz to sacīja: tās pilsētas, ko mans tēvs tavam tēvam paņēmis, es gribu atdot, un dari sev ielas Damaskā, itin kā mans tēvs darījis Samarijā. (Un Ahabs sacīja: ) ar šo derību es tevi atlaidīšu. Tā viņš ar to derēja derību un to atlaida.
Ben Hadad said to Ahab, “I will restore to you the cities that my father took from your father, and you may make markets for yourself in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria.” Ahab replied, “I will let you go with this covenant.” So Ahab made a covenant with him and then let him go.
35 Un viens vīrs no praviešu bērniem sacīja uz otru caur Tā Kunga vārdu: sit jel mani. Bet tas vīrs liedzās to sist.
A certain man, one of the sons of the prophets, said to one of his fellow prophets by the word of Yahweh, “Please hit me.” But the man refused to hit him.
36 Un viņš uz šo sacīja: tāpēc ka tu Tā Kunga balsi neesi klausījis, redzi, tad tevi lauva sitīs, kad tu no manis aiziesi. Kad nu tas no viņa aizgāja, lauva to sastapa un saplēsa.
Then the prophet said to his fellow prophet, “Because you have not obeyed the voice of Yahweh, as soon as you leave me, a lion will kill you.” As soon as that man had left him, a lion came upon him and killed him.
37 Un viņš atrada citu vīru un sacīja: sit jel mani. Un tas vīrs to sita, un to sizdams ievainoja.
Then the prophet found another man and said, “Please hit me.” So the man hit him and wounded him.
38 Tad tas pravietis gāja un nostājās ķēniņam ceļā un aptina savu vaigu ar drānu.
Then the prophet left and waited for the king by the road; he had disguised himself with a bandage over his eyes.
39 Kad nu ķēniņš gāja garām, tad viņš sauca uz ķēniņu un sacīja: tavs kalps bija izgājis kaujā, un redzi, viens vīrs nāca malā un atveda pie manis vienu vīru un sacīja: apsargi šo vīru; ja tas kaut kā nozustu, tad tava dvēsele būs viņa dvēseles vietā, vai tev būs jāmaksā viens talents sudraba.
As the king passed by, the prophet cried out to the king and said, “Your servant went out into the heat of the battle, and a soldier stopped and brought a man to me and said, 'Watch this man. If by any means he goes missing, your life will be given for his life, or you must pay a talent of silver.'
40 Kad nu tavam kalpam šur tur kas bija jādara, tad viņš nozuda. Un Israēla ķēniņš sacīja: tāds tavs spriedums, kā pats spriedis.
But because your servant was busy going here and there, the man escaped.” Then the king of Israel said to him, “This is what your punishment will be—you yourself have decided it.”
41 Tad viņš steigšus noņēma to drānu no sava vaiga, un Israēla ķēniņš to pazina, ka tas bija viens no tiem praviešiem.
Then the prophet quickly removed the bandage from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized that he was one of the prophets.
42 Un viņš uz to sacīja: “Tā saka Tas Kungs: “Tāpēc ka tu šo vīru, ko es liku izdeldēt, esi izlaidis no rokas, tad tava dvēsele būs viņa dvēseles vietā, un tavi ļaudis viņa ļaužu vietā.””
The prophet said to the king, “Yahweh says, 'Because you have let go from your hand the man whom I had sentenced to death, your life will take the place of his life, and your people for his people.'”
43 Un Israēla ķēniņš nogāja saīdzis un dusmīgs savā namā un aizgāja uz Samariju.
So the king of Israel went to his house resentful and angry, and arrived in Samaria.
