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.
Then, after this, the Moabites and Ammonites, as well as some of the Meunites, came to attack 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.
Some people came and told Jehoshaphat, “A large army is coming to fight you from Edom, from the other side of the Dead Sea. They have already reached Hazazon-tamar,” (otherwise called En-gedi).
3 Tad Jehošafats izbijās un grieza savu vaigu, To Kungu meklēt, un izsauca gavēni pa visu Jūdu.
Jehoshaphat was afraid, and went to ask the Lord what to do. He also ordered everyone throughout Judah to fast.
4 Un Jūda ļaudis sapulcinājās, meklēt no Tā Kunga palīgu, un no visām Jūda pilsētām tie nāca, To Kungu meklēt.
So the people of Judah gathered in Jerusalem to pray to the Lord—in fact, they came from all the towns of Judah to commit themselves to him.
5 Un Jehošafats stāvēja Jūda un Jeruzālemes draudzes vidū Tā Kunga namā priekš tā jaunā pagalma
Jehoshaphat stood before the assembled people of Judah and Jerusalem at the Temple, in front of the new courtyard,
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, “Lord, God of our forefathers, aren't you the God of heaven? Don't you rule over all earthly kingdoms? You possess strength and power, and no one can stand 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?
Our God, didn't you drive out before your people Israel those who living in this land? Didn't you give this land to the descendants of your friend Abraham forever?
8 Un tie tur dzīvojuši un Tev tur taisījuši svētu vietu Tavam vārdam, sacīdami:
They are living in the land and have built a Temple for you here to honor you, 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 disaster strikes us, whether it's invasion or judgment, disease or famine, we will stand in front of this Temple and before you, for this Temple is yours. We will cry out to you to help us in our suffering, and you will hear us and save us.’
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, -
Look, here come the armies of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, those very countries you did not let Israel invade when they came out of Egypt. Israel left them alone and did not destroy them.
11 Redzi nu, tie mums to atmaksā, nākdami, mūs izdzīt no mūsu zemes, ko Tu mums licis iemantot.
See how they're rewarding us, coming to steal the land you gave us to possess forever!
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.
Our God, won't you punish them, because we don't have the power to confront such a great army that is marching against us? We don't know what to do. We're looking to you for help.”
13 Un visa Jūda valsts stāvēja Tā Kunga priekšā, arī viņu bērni, viņu sievas un viņu dēli.
All the men of Judah stood before the Lord, together with their wives and children and babies.
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 the Spirit of the Lord came over Jahaziel while he was standing there in the assembly. He was the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite from the descendants 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.
He said, “Listen, everyone from Judah, people of Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat. This is what the Lord has to say to you: Don't be afraid or discouraged because of this large army. This isn't your battle—it's God's!
16 Ejat rītu tiem pretī, redzi, tie nāks augšā pa Cic kalnu, un jūs tos sastapsiet ielejas galā šaipus Jeruēles tuksneša.
Tomorrow march down to face them. You will see them coming up the pass at Ziz—you'll find them at the end of the valley in front of the desert of Jeruel.
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.
But you do not need to fight this battle. Just stand still and watch the Lord's victory. He is with you, Judah and Jerusalem! Don't be afraid or discouraged! March down to face them, 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.
Jehoshaphat bowed down with his face to the ground, and all the people of Judah and Jerusalem fell to the ground before the Lord, worshiping him.
19 Un tie Leviti no Kehāta bērniem un no Koraha bērniem cēlās, augsti slavēt To Kungu, Israēla Dievu ar skanīgu balsi,
Then the Levites from the Kohathites and Korahites stood to praise the Lord, the God of Israel, shouting loudly.
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.
They got up early the next morning and went to the desert of Tekoa. As they left, Jehoshaphat stood up and said, “Listen to me, people of Judah and Jerusalem. Trust in the Lord your God, and you will be vindicated; trust in his prophets, and you will be successful.”
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!
After discussion with the people, he appointed singers to praise the Lord for his glorious, holy goodness. They led the way at the front of the army, singing, “Praise the Lord, for his trustworthy love lasts forever!”
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.
As soon as they started singing and praising, the Lord ambushed the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir who were coming to attack Judah, and they were defeated.
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.
The men of Ammon and Moab turned on the men from Mount Seir, killing all of them. Once they'd finished wiping out the army from Seir, they turned on each other, destroying themselves.
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.
So when the men of Judah came to the watchtower in the desert, they looked out to see the enemy army and all they saw were corpses lying on the ground! No one had escaped.
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.
When Jehoshaphat and his people came to collect the plunder, they found a great deal of cattle, equipment, clothing, and other valuable articles, more than they could carry. It took three days to collect the plunder because there was so much of it.
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 gathered in the Valley of Blessing. They gave it this name because this was where they blessed the Lord. It is still called 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 celebrated as they returned to Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat leading them, full of joy for the Lord's victory over their enemies.
28 Un tie nonāca Jeruzālemē ar somastabulēm un koklēm un trumetēm uz Tā Kunga namu.
They entered Jerusalem and went straight to the Temple of Lord, accompanied by music from harps, lyres, and trumpets.
29 Un bailes no Dieva nāca pār visām zemes valstīm, kad dzirdēja, ka Tas Kungs bija karojis pret Israēla ienaidniekiem.
All the kingdoms around were in awe of God when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel.
30 Un Jehošafata valsts bija mierā, un viņa Dievs tam deva mieru visapkārt.
Jehoshaphat and his kingdom were at peace, for God gave him rest—there were no attacks from any direction.
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.
So Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah, having become king when he was thirty-five years, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-five years. His mother's name was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.
32 Un viņš staigāja sava tēva Asas ceļos un neatstājās no tiem, darīdams, kas Tam Kungam patika.
Jehoshaphat followed the way of his father Asa and did not turn away from it. He did what was right in the Lord's sight.
33 Taču kalnu altāri netapa nopostīti, un vēl tie ļaudis ar savu sirdi pilnīgi neturējās pie savu tēvu Dieva.
However, the high places were not removed, and the people were not committed to the God of their forefathers.
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.
The rest of what Jehoshaphat did, from beginning to end, is written down in the chronicles of Jehu, son of Hanani, recorded 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.
Later in his life, Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, allied himself with Ahaziah, king of Israel, who did wicked things.
36 Un viņš ar to vienojās, kuģus taisīt, ar ko braukt uz Taršišu, un tie taisīja kuģus EceonĢeberā.
They agreed to work together and send ships to Tarshish. The ships were built 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.
But Eliezer, son of Dodavahu of Mareshah, prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have made an alliance with Ahaziah, the Lord will destroy what you're doing.” The ships were wrecked and couldn't sail to Tarshish.
