Otra Laiku 6
1 Tad Salamans sacīja: Tas Kungs ir sacījis, Viņš gribot tumsā mājot.
Then Solomon said, “Yahweh, you said that you would live in a dark cloud.
2 Un es Tev esmu uztaisījis mājas vietu un vietu Tev par mūžīgu dzīvokli.
But now I have built a glorious temple for you to live in forever!”
3 Un ķēniņš atgrieza savu vaigu un svētīja visu Israēla draudzi un visa Israēla draudze stāvēja,
Then while all the people stood there, Solomon turned toward the people and he [asked God to] bless them.
4 Un viņš sacīja: slavēts lai ir Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, kas ar Savu muti runājis uz manu tēvu Dāvidu un ar Savu roku to piepildījis, ko sacījis:
He said to them, “Praise Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong, who has caused to happen what he promised to my father David. What he said to David was this:
5 No tās dienas, kamēr esmu izvedis Savus ļaudis no Ēģiptes zemes, Es nevienu pilsētu neesmu izredzējis no visām Israēla ciltīm, namu taisīt, ka Mans vārds tur būtu; arī nevienu vīru neesmu izredzējis par valdītāju pār Maniem Israēla ļaudīm;
‘From the time that I brought my people out of Egypt, I have never chosen a city in Israel in which a temple should be built for people to [worship] me there. Nor did I choose anyone to be the leader of my Israeli people.
6 Bet Jeruzālemi Es esmu izredzējis, ka Mans vārds tur būtu, un Dāvidu Es esmu izredzējis, ka tas būtu pār Maniem Israēla ļaudīm.
But now I have chosen Jerusalem to be the place for people to worship me, and I have chosen you to rule my Israeli people.’”
7 Un tas manam tēvam Dāvidam bija sirdī, namu celt Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, vārdam.
[Then Solomon said], “My father David wanted to build a temple for Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong.
8 Bet Tas Kungs sacīja uz manu tēvu Dāvidu: tāpēc ka tu savā sirdī esi apņēmies, celt Manam vārdam namu, tu gan labi esi darījis, ka tas bijis tavā sirdī;
But Yahweh said to him, ‘You have wanted to build a temple for me, and what you wanted to do was good.
9 Tomēr tev nebūs celt to namu, bet tavam dēlam, kas nāks no taviem gurniem, tam būs namu celt Manam vārdam.
However, you are not the one who I want to build the temple; it is one of your own sons who [I want to] build a temple for me.’
10 Un Tas Kungs ir piepildījis Savu vārdu, ko Viņš runājis, jo es esmu cēlies sava tēva Dāvida vietā un sēžu Israēla goda krēslā, kā Tas Kungs runājis, un esmu namu cēlis Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, vārdam.
“And Yahweh has done what he promised to do. I have become the king of Israel to succeed my father, and I am ruling the people, like Yahweh promised, and I have arranged for this temple to be built for us to worship Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong.
11 Un tur es esmu nolicis to šķirstu, kur Tā Kunga derība, ko Viņš derējis ar Israēla bērniem.
I have put the Sacred Chest in the temple, in which are the stone tablets [on which are engraved the Ten Commandments of] the agreement that Yahweh made with us Israeli people.”
12 Un viņš stājās Tā Kunga altāra priekšā visai Israēla draudzei pretī un izplēta savas rokas.
Then Solomon stood in front of the altar which was in front of the people of Israel who had gathered there.
13 Un Salamans bija taisījis vara pakāpienus un tās licis pagalma vidū, piecas olektis garas un piecas olektis platas un trīs olektis augstas, un tur viņš uzkāpa un nometās ceļos visas Israēla draudzes priekšā un izplēta savas rokas pret debesīm un sacīja:
His workers had built a bronze platform there [for him to stand on], which was 7-1/2 feet long and 7-1/2 feet wide and 4-1/2 feet high. They put it in the outer courtyard. Solomon stood on that platform and then knelt down in front of all the people of Israel who had gathered there, and he spread out his arms toward heaven,
14 Kungs, Israēla Dievs, neviens nav tāds Dievs, kā Tu, ne debesīs, ne virs zemes; Tu turi derību un žēlastību Saviem kalpiem, kas ar visu sirdi staigā Tavā priekšā.
and he prayed, “Yahweh, the God to whom we Israeli people belong, there is no God like you in heaven or on the earth. You solemnly promised that you would faithfully love us, and that is what you have done for us who earnestly do what you want us to do.
15 Savam kalpam, manam tēvam Dāvidam, Tu esi turējis, ko Tu viņam runājis, jo ar Savu muti Tu esi runājis un ar Savu roku Tu to esi piepildījis, tā kā tas šodien ir.
“You have done the things that you promised my father David, who served you [very well], that you would do. Truly, you promised to do those things for him, and today we see that by your power you have caused it all to happen.
16 Un nu Kungs, Israēla Dievs, turi Savam kalpam, manam tēvam Dāvidam, ko Tu tam esi runājis, sacīdams: tev netrūks vīra Manā priekšā, kas sēdēs Israēla goda krēsla, ja tikai tavi dēli sargās savu ceļu, staigādami Manā bauslībā, kā tu esi staigājis Manā priekšā.
“So now, Yahweh, the God we Israelis belong to, please do the things that you promised to my father David that you would do. You said that there would always be some of his descendants to rule Israel, if they faithfully conduct their lives as he did.
17 Tad nu, Kungs, Israēla Dievs, lai jel Tavs vārds tiešām notiek, ko Tu esi runājis Savam kalpam Dāvidam.
So now, God of us Israeli people, cause what you promised David, who served you [well], to happen.
18 Jo vai Dievs tiešām dzīvo pie cilvēkiem virs zemes? Redzi, debesis un visu debesu debesis tevi nevar saņemt, ne vēl šis nams, ko es esmu cēlis?
“But, my God, will you really live on earth among people? There is surely not enough space for you in the sky, or even in the heaven! So there is surely not enough space for you to live in this temple that my workers have built.
19 Tomēr, griezies pie Sava kalpa lūgšanām un pie viņa piesaukšanām, Kungs, mans Dievs, un klausi to saukšanu un lūgšanu, ko tavs kalps lūdz priekš Tava vaiga.
But Yahweh, my God, please listen to my prayer, while I am pleading with you this day and do what I am requesting.
20 Lai Tavas acis ir atvērtas dienām naktīm pār šo namu, pār šo vietu, kur Tu esi solījis iecelt Savu vārdu, klausīt to lūgšanu, ko Tavs kalps lūgs šinī vietā.
Please protect this temple day and night. This is the place about which you have said, ‘I will always be there.’ Please listen to my prayer about this place.
21 Klausi tad Sava kalpa un Savu Israēla ļaužu sirds lūgšanu, ko tie lūgs šinī vietā, klausi no tās vietas, kur Tu mīti debesīs, ak klausi un piedod!
Listen to me when I pray, and listen to your Israeli people when they pray. Listen from heaven, where you live; and when you hear us pray, forgive us.
22 Ja kāds būs apgrēkojies pret savu tuvāko un viņam liks zvērēt un nodievoties, un kad šī zvērēšana nāks priekš Tava altāra šinī namā,
“If someone is accused of doing something wrong to another person, and they bring him to testify in front of your altar outside this holy temple, and if he says, ‘I did not do that; may God punish me if I am not telling the truth,’
23 Tad klausi Tu no debesīm un dari un tiesā Savus kalpus un atmaksā tam bezdievīgam, dodams viņa ceļu uz viņa galvu, un taisno to taisno, dodams tam pēc viņa taisnības.
then you listen from heaven, and you decide who is telling the truth. Then punish the person who is guilty as he deserves to be punished, and declare that the other person is innocent.
24 Un kad Tavi Israēla ļaudis būs kauti ienaidnieku priekšā, kad tie pret Tevi būs grēkojuši, un atgriezīsies un apliecinās Tavu vārdu un Tavā priekšā pielūgs un no sirds piesauks šai namā,
“And when your Israeli people are defeated by their enemies because they sinned against you, [and forced to go to some distant country, ] if they turn away from their sinful behavior and turn toward this temple and admit [that] you [have justly punished them], and plead [that you will forgive them],
25 Tad klausi Tu no debesīm un piedod Savu Israēla ļaužu grēkus un ved tos atpakaļ uz to zemi, ko Tu tiem un viņu tēviem esi devis. -
listen to them from heaven and forgive your Israeli people for the sins that they [have committed], and bring them back to this land that you gave to our ancestors.
26 Kad debess būs aizslēgta, ka lietus nelīs, tāpēc ka tie pret Tevi būs apgrēkojušies, un tie šinī vietā lūgs un Tavam vārdam dos godu un atgriezīsies no Saviem grēkiem, kad Tu tos apbēdini,
“When you do not allow any rain to fall because your people have sinned against you, if they turn toward this temple and admit [that] you [have justly punished them], and turn away from their sinful behavior and humbly pray to you,
27 Tad klausi Tu debesīs un piedod Savu kalpu un Savu Israēla ļaužu grēkus, ka Tu tiem rādi to labo ceļu, kur tiem būs staigāt, un lietu dodi tai zemē, ko Tu saviem ļaudīm devis par mantību. -
hear from heaven and forgive the sins of your Israeli people. Teach them the right way to conduct their lives. Then cause it to rain here on the land that you gave to your people to belong to them [permanently].
28 Kad zemē būs bada laiks, mēris, bula laiks, rūsa, siseņi un kukaiņi, kad viņu ienaidnieks zemē lauzīsies pret viņu vārtiem, vai būs kāda cita mocība vai sērga,
“And when the people of this land experience famines or if there is a plague, or when their crops are destroyed by very hot winds or by mildew or by locusts or grasshoppers, or when their enemies surround any of their cities [in order to attack them], if any of those bad things happen to them,
29 Kas tad lūgs, kas no sirds piesauks, lai būtu kas būdams no visiem Taviem Israēla ļaudīm, kad tie atzīs savas mokas un bēdas un izpletīs savas rokas šinī namā,
when your Israeli people earnestly plead with you, knowing in their inner beings that they are suffering [because they have sinned], if they stretch out their hands toward this temple and pray,
30 Tad klausi Tu no debesīm, no tās vietas, kur Tu mīti, un piedod un dari un dod ikkatram pēc visiem viņa ceļiem, itin kā Tu viņa sirdi pazīsti, jo Tu vien pazīsti cilvēku bērnu sirdis; -
hear from your home in heaven, and forgive them. You alone know what each person is thinking, so reward each person according to everything that he does,
31 Lai tie tēvi bīstas un arvienu staigā Tavos ceļos, kamēr tie dzīvo tai zemē, ko Tu mūsu tēviem esi devis. -
in order that they will revere you and conduct their lives as you want them to, all the time that they live in this land that you gave to our ancestors.
32 Kad arī kāds svešinieks būs, kas nav no Taviem Israēla ļaudīm, bet nāk no tālas zemes Tava lielā vārda pēc un Tavas stiprās rokas un Tava izstiepta elkoņa dēļ, un kad tas nāks un šinī namā pielūgs,
“There will be some foreigners who do not belong to your Israeli people who have come here from countries far away because they have heard that you are very great and that you perform great miracles. If they turn toward this temple and pray,
33 Tad klausi Tu no debesīm, no tās vietas, kur Tu mīti, un dari visu, par ko tas svešais Tevi piesauks, lai visas pasaules ļaudis atzīst Tavu vārdu un Tevi bīstas, tāpat kā Tavi Israēla ļaudis, un lai tie zina, ka Tavs vārds ir saukts pār šo namu, ko es esmu cēlis.
from your home in heaven listen to their prayer, and do for them what they request you to do. Do that in order that all the people-groups in the world will know about you and revere you, like we, your own Israeli people do. And then they will know that this is the temple that I have caused to be built for you.
34 Kad Tavi ļaudis ies karā pret saviem ienaidniekiem, pa to ceļu, kur Tu tos sūtīsi, un Tevi pielūgs, vaigu griezuši uz šo pilsētu, ko Tu esi izredzējies, un pret šo namu, ko es esmu cēlis Tavam vārdam,
“When you send your people to go to places to attack their enemies, if they pray to you, wherever they are, if they turn toward this city that you have chosen and toward this temple that I have caused to be built to honor you,
35 Tad klausi Tu no debesīm viņu lūgšanas un viņu sirds saukšanas un nes viņiem tiesu. -
listen in heaven to their prayers; listen to what they plead for you [to do], and assist them.
36 Kad tie pret Tevi būs apgrēkojušies (jo nav neviena cilvēka, kas nebūtu grēkojis), un Tu pār tiem būsi apskaities un tos nodosi ienaidniekiem, ka viņu uzvarētāji tos noved cietumā ienaidnieku zemē, vai tālu vai tuvu,
[“It is true that] everyone sins. So, when your people sin against you, and you become angry with them, you may allow their enemies to capture them and take them to their countries, even to countries that are far away.
37 Un tie tai zemē, kur ir aizvesti cietumā to atkal ņems pie sirds un atgriezīsies un Tevi piesauks sava cietuma zemē, sacīdami: mēs esam grēkojuši un noziegušies, mēs esam bijuši bezdievīgi;
When that happens, while they are in the countries to which they were forced to go, if they are sorry for having sinned, if they say, ‘We have sinned; we have done things that are wrong and have done things that are very wicked,’
38 Un kad tie pie Tevis atgriežas no visas savas sirds un no visas savas dvēseles sava cietuma zemē, kur tie cietumā top turēti, un tie Tevi pielūgs, vaigu griezuši uz savu zemi, ko Tu devis viņu tēviem, uz to pilsētu, ko Tu esi izredzējies, un pret to namu, ko esmu cēlis Tavam vārdam,
if they repent very sincerely, and if they turn toward this land that you gave to our ancestors, and toward this city that you have chosen [to be the place where we should worship you], and toward this temple that I have caused to be built for you and pray,
39 Tad klausi Tu no debesīm, no tās vietas, kur Tu mīti, viņu lūgšanu un viņu sirds saukšanu un nes tiem tiesu un piedod Saviem ļaudīm, ko tie pret Tevi grēkojuši. -
then from your home in heaven hear their prayer, and listen to them while they plead [for your help], and do what they ask you to do, and forgive your people who have sinned against you.
40 Nu, mans Dievs, lai jel Tavas acis ir atvērtas, un Tavas ausis klausās uz to lūgšanu šinī vietā.
“Now, my God, look at us and listen to us as we pray to you in this place.
41 Un nu celies šurp, Kungs Dievs, Savā dusas vietā, Tu un Tava spēka šķirsts; lai Tavi priesteri, Kungs Dievs, top apģērbti ar svētību, un Tavi svētie lai priecājās par labumu.
Yahweh our God, come and stay in this place with the Sacred Chest, the chest that shows that you are powerful. Yahweh God, cause your priests to know clearly that you have blessed them. Cause us your people to rejoice because of all the good things [that you do for us].
42 Kungs Dievs, neatmet Sava svaidītā vaigu, piemini to žēlastību, kas solīta Dāvidam, Tavam kalpam.
Yahweh God, do not reject me [the king] whom you have appointed [to be the king of Israel]; do not forget that you greatly loved David, who served you [very well].”
