Otra Ķēniņu 3
1 Un Jorams, Ahaba dēls, palika par ķēniņu pār Israēli Samarijā, Jehošafata, Jūda ķēniņa, astoņpadsmitā gadā un valdīja divpadsmit gadus.
Joram, son of Ahab, became king of Israel in the eighteenth year of the reign of King Jehoshaphat of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for twelve years.
2 Un viņš darīja, kas Tam Kungam nepatika, bet ne tā, kā viņa tēvs un kā viņa māte, jo viņš lika noņemt to uzcelto Baāla stabu, ko viņa tēvs bija taisījis.
He did evil in the Lord's sight, but not like his father and mother had done, for he got rid of the stone image of Baal that his father had made.
3 Tikai viņš pieķērās Jerobeama, Nebata dēla, grēkiem, uz ko tas Israēli bija pavedis, - no tiem viņš neatstājās. -
However, he still held on to the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit—he did not give them up.
4 Un Mešum, Moaba ķēniņam, bija daudz lopu, un viņš deva Israēla ķēniņam par mesliem simts tūkstoš jērus un simts tūkstoš aunus ar visu vilnu.
Mesha, king of Moab, was a sheep breeder. He used to provide a tribute to the king of Israel of one hundred thousand lambs and the wool of one hundred thousand rams.
5 Bet kad Ahabs bija nomiris, tad Moaba ķēniņš atkrita no Israēla ķēniņa.
But after Ahab died, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
6 Tad ķēniņš Jorams tai laikā cēlās no Samarijas un sarīkoja visu Israēli,
Immediately King Joram called up the whole Israelite army and left Samaria.
7 Un nogāja un sūtīja pie Jehošafata, Jūda ķēniņa, sacīdams: Moaba ķēniņš no manis atkritis, vai tu līdz ar mani gribi karā iet pret Moabu? Un tas sacīja: es iešu līdz, es būšu kā tu, mani ļaudis kā tavi ļaudis, un mani zirgi kā tavi zirgi.
On his way he sent a message to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, saying, “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you join me in an attack on Moab?” Jehoshaphat replied, “Yes, I will join you. You and I are as one, my men and your men are as one, and my horses and your horses are as one.”
8 Un viņš sacīja: pa kuru ceļu iesim? Un tas sacīja pa Edoma tuksneša ceļu.
Then he asked, “Which way shall we go?” “We'll take the road through the desert of Edom,” he replied.
9 Tā tie gāja, Israēla ķēniņš un Jūda ķēniņš un Edoma ķēniņš. Un kad tie bija gājuši septiņu dienu gājumu, tad tiem nebija ūdens, ne karaspēkam, ne lopiem, kas tiem bija līdz.
So the king of Israel, the king of Judah, and the king of Edom set off. Having followed an indirect route for seven days, they ran out of water for their army and for their animals.
10 Tad Israēla ķēniņš sacīja: Ak vai! Tas Kungs šos trīs ķēniņus aicinājis, ka Viņš tos dotu Moaba rokā!
“What are we doing?” complained the king of Israel. “The Lord has brought us three kings here to hand us over to the Moabites!”
11 Un Jehošafats sacīja: vai še nav kāds no Tā Kunga praviešiem, ka To Kungu caur viņu vaicātu? Tad viens no Israēla ķēniņa kalpiem tam atbildēja un sacīja: še ir Eliša, Šafata dēls, kas ūdeni lēja uz Elijas rokām.
But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn't there a prophet of the Lord here with us? Let us consult the Lord through him.” One of the king of Israel's officers answered, “Elisha, son of Shaphat, is here. He was Elijah's assistant.”
12 Un Jehošafats sacīja: Tā Kunga vārds ir pie viņa. Tad pie tā nogāja Israēla ķēniņš un Jehošafats un Edoma ķēniņš.
Jehoshaphat agreed, “The Lord communicates by him.” So the king of Israel, Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom went to see him.
13 Bet Eliša sacīja uz Israēla ķēniņu: kas man ar tevi? Ej pie sava tēva praviešiem un pie savas mātes praviešiem. Bet Israēla ķēniņš uz to sacīja: nē, jo Tas Kungs šos trīs ķēniņus ir aicinājis, ka viņš tos dotu Moaba rokā.
Elisha said to the king of Israel, “What have I got to do with you? Go to your own prophets, those of your father and your mother.” But the king of Israel said to him, “No—because it's the Lord who has brought these three kings here to hand them over to the Moabites!”
14 Un Eliša sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs Cebaot dzīvs, priekš kā es stāvu, ja es to nedarītu Jehošafata, Jūda ķēniņa, labad, tad es tev ne virsū neskatītos nedz tevi ievērotu.
Elisha replied, “As the Lord Almighty lives, the one I serve, if I didn't respect the fact that Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, is here, I wouldn't even look in your direction or acknowledge you.
15 Nu tad, dabūjat man vienu koklētāju. Un tam koklētājam koklējot Tā Kunga roka nāca pār viņu,
Now bring me a musician.” While the musician played, the Lord's power came upon Elisha,
16 Un viņš sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs: rokat grāvi pie grāvja šinī ielejā.
and he announced, “This is what the Lord says: This valley will be filled with pools of water. For the Lord says:
17 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs: jūs neredzēsiet ne vēju ne lietu, tomēr šī ieleja būs pilna ūdens, jums dzert pašiem un jūsu sīkiem un lieliem lopiem.
You won't see any wind, you won't see any rain, but even so this valley will be filled with water. You will drink, and your cattle, and your animals.
18 Un tas ir vēl maz priekš Tā Kunga, viņš arī Moabu dos jūsu rokā.
The Lord views this as something trivial to do; and he will also make you victorious over the Moabites.
19 Un jums būs kaut visas stiprās pilsētas un visas izredzētās pilsētas, un nocirst visus labos kokus un aizbāzt visus ūdens avotus un samaitāt visus labos tīrumus ar akmeņiem.
You will conquer every fortified town, and every important town. You will chop down every good tree, block up every spring, and spoil every good field by throwing stones on them.”
20 Un notikās no rīta ap ēdamā upura laiku, redzi, tad ūdens nāca no Edoma puses, un zeme tapa ūdens pilna.
The next day, around the time of the morning sacrifice, water suddenly flowed from the direction of Edom, filling the whole countryside with water.
21 Kad nu visi Moabieši dzirdēja, ka tie ķēniņi nāca, pret tiem karot, tad tie sasauca visus, kas spēja bruņas nest, un vēl pārāki(vecākie) un tie stājās uz robežām.
All the Moabites had heard that the kings had come to attack them. So everyone who could wear a sword, young and old, was called up and went to guard the border.
22 Un kad tie no rīta agri cēlās un saule bija uzlēkusi pār to ūdeni, tad Moabieši no tālienes to ūdeni redzēja sarkanu kā asinis.
But the next morning when they got up the sun was shining on the water, and to the Moabites on the other side it looked blood red.
23 Un tie sacīja: tās ir asinis; tiešām tie ķēniņi pacēluši zobenu, zobenus viens pret otru un cits citu nokāvuši. Un nu, Moab, celies uz laupīšanu.
“This is blood!” they said. “The kings and their armies must have attacked and killed each other! Moabites, let's grab the plunder!”
24 Bet kad tie nāca pie Israēla lēģera, tad Israēlieši cēlās un kāva Moabiešus un šie no viņiem bēga. Un tie tur ielauzās un apkāva Moabiešus,
But when the Moabites arrived at the Israelite camp, the Israelites ran out and attacked them, and they ran away from them. So the Israelites invaded their country and killed the Moabites.
25 Un nopostīja tās pilsētas, un ikkatrs meta savu akmeni uz visiem labiem tīrumiem un tos sameta pilnus, un aizbāza visus avotus un nocirta visus labos kokus, līdz kamēr Ķirarezetē akmeņus vien atlicināja. Un lingotāji ap to apmetās un tai svieda virsū.
They destroyed the towns, and each soldier threw stones on every good field until it was covered. They blocked up every spring and chopped down every good tree. Only Kir-haraseth still had its walls, but soldiers using slingshots surrounded it and attacked it as well.
26 Kad nu Moaba ķēniņš redzēja, ka kaušanās tam metās par stipru, tad viņš pie sevis ņēma septiņsimt vīrus, kas zobenu izvilka, lauzties cauri pret Edoma ķēniņu, bet tie nespēja.
When the king of Moab realized he'd lost the battle, he led seven hundred swordsmen in an attempt to break through and attack the king of Edom, but they weren't able to do so.
27 Tad viņš ņēma savu pirmdzimušo dēlu, kam viņa vietā bija palikt par ķēniņu, un to upurēja par dedzināmo upuri uz mūra. Un Israēli pārņēma lielas dusmas un tie no tā atstājās un griezās atpakaļ uz savu zemi.
So the king of Moab took his firstborn son, who was meant to succeed him, and sacrificed him as a burnt offering on the town wall. Great anger came upon the Israelites, so they left and went back to their own country.
