1 Samuel 9
1 Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjamite, a mighty man of valor.
Un vīrs bija no Benjamina, Ķis vārdā, tas bija Abiēļa dēls, tas Cerora, tas Bekora, tas Apija, tas viena Benjaminieša dēls. Šis bija krietns, turīgs vīrs.
2 He had a son whose name was Saul, an impressive young man; and there was not among the children of Israel a more handsome person than he. From his shoulders and upward he was taller than any of the people.
Un viņam bija dēls, Sauls vārdā, jauns un skaists, un tāda skaista vīra nebija starp Israēla bērniem kā viņš, veselu galvu lielāks nekā visi citi ļaudis.
3 The donkeys of Kish, Saul’s father, were lost. Kish said to Saul his son, “Now take one of the servants with you, and arise, go look for the donkeys.”
Un Saula tēvam Ķisam ēzeļu mātes bija zudušas, un Ķis sacīja uz savu dēlu Saulu: ņem jel vienu no puišiem līdzi, un celies, ej meklēt tās ēzeļu mātes.
4 He passed through the hill country of Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalishah, but they did not find them. Then they passed through the land of Shaalim, and they were not there. Then he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they did not find them.
Tad viņš pārstaigāja Efraīma kalnus un gāja caur Zalisa zemi, un tās neatrada; un tie gāja caur Zaālim zemi, un arī tur tās nebija; un tie gāja caur Jemiņa zemi un tās neatrada.
5 When they had come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, “Come! Let’s return, lest my father stop caring about the donkeys and be anxious for us.”
Tad tie nāca uz Cuv zemi, un Sauls sacīja uz savu puisi, kas pie viņa bija: nāc, iesim atpakaļ, ka mans tēvs no tām ēzeļu mātēm mitēdamies nesāk mūsu pēc bēdāties.
6 The servant said to him, “Behold now, there is a man of God in this city, and he is a man who is held in honor. All that he says surely happens. Now let’s go there. Perhaps he can tell us which way to go.”
Bet šis uz to sacīja: redzi jel, šinī pilsētā ir viens Dieva vīrs, un tas vīrs stāv godā; viss ko viņš runā, tas tiešām notiek; ejam nu uz turieni, varbūt viņš mums teiks mūsu ceļu, kur mums jāiet.
7 Then Saul said to his servant, “But behold, if we go, what should we bring the man? For the bread is spent in our sacks, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God. What do we have?”
Tad Sauls sacīja uz savu puisi: bet redzi, kad iesim, ko mēs tam vīram nesīsim? Jo maizes vairs nav mūsu kulītēs, un dāvanu mums nav, tam Dieva vīram ko nest, - kas tad mums ir?
8 The servant answered Saul again and said, “Behold, I have in my hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver. I will give that to the man of God, to tell us our way.”
Un tas puisis Saulam atkal atbildēja un sacīja: redzi, manā rokā ir sudraba sēķeļa ceturtdaļa, to es došu tam Dieva vīram, lai viņš mums teic mūsu ceļu.
9 (In earlier times in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he said, “Come! Let’s go to the seer;” for he who is now called a prophet was before called a seer.)
(Citkārt tā sacīja iekš Israēla, kad kas gāja Dievu vaicāt: nāciet, iesim pie tā redzētāja; jo ko šodien sauc par pravieti, to citkārt sauca par redzētāju.)
10 Then Saul said to his servant, “Well said. Come! Let’s go.” So they went to the city where the man of God was.
Tad Sauls sacīja uz savu puisi: tavs vārds ir labs, nāc, iesim! Un tie gāja uz to pilsētu, kur tas Dieva vīrs bija.
11 As they went up the ascent to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said to them, “Is the seer here?”
Šiem nu augšām ejot pa pilsētas pakalnu sastapa meitas, kas iznāca ūdeni smelt, un šie uz tām sacīja: vai tas redzētājs šeitan?
12 They answered them and said, “He is. Behold, he is before you. Hurry now, for he has come today into the city; for the people have a sacrifice today in the high place.
Tās viņiem atbildēja un sacīja: redzi, še pat viņš ir, steidzies tad, jo viņš šodien ir nācis pilsētā, tāpēc ka šodien tiem ļaudīm upuris uz kalna.
13 As soon as you have come into the city, you will immediately find him before he goes up to the high place to eat; for the people will not eat until he comes, because he blesses the sacrifice. Afterwards those who are invited eat. Now therefore go up; for at this time you will find him.”
Kā nāksiet pilsētā, tad jūs viņu atradīsiet, pirms ne kā viņš iet uz kalnu ēst. Jo tie ļaudis neēdīs, kamēr viņš nāks, jo viņš svētī to upuri, pēc tam ēd tie aicinātie; tāpēc ejat nu, jo šodien jūs tiksiet pie viņa.
14 They went up to the city. As they came within the city, behold, Samuel came out toward them to go up to the high place.
Un tā tie gāja pilsētā; un pilsētā ienākot, redzi, Samuēls tiem izgāja pretī, gribēdams iet uz kalnu.
15 Now the LORD had revealed to Samuel a day before Saul came, saying,
Bet Tas Kungs vienu dienu papriekš, pirms ne kā Sauls nāca, Samuēla ausi bija atvēris sacīdams:
16 “Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man out of the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over my people Israel. He will save my people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon my people, because their cry has come to me.”
Rīt ap šo laiku Es pie tevis sūtīšu vienu vīru no Benjamina zemes; to tev būs svaidīt par valdītāju Maniem Israēla ļaudīm, jo viņš Manus ļaudis izpestīs no Fīlistu rokas. Jo Es esmu uzlūkojis Savus ļaudis, tāpēc ka viņu brēkšana pie Manis nākusi.
17 When Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said to him, “Behold, the man of whom I spoke to you! He will have authority over my people.”
Kad nu Samuēls Saulu redzēja, tad Tas Kungs tam atbildēja: redzi, tas ir tas vīrs, par ko Es tev sacīju: šim būs valdīt pār Maniem ļaudīm.
18 Then Saul approached Samuel in the gateway, and said, “Please tell me where the seer’s house is.”
Un Sauls piegāja pie Samuēla pašos vārtos un sacīja: saki man, lūdzams, kur še ir tā redzētāja nams?
19 Samuel answered Saul and said, “I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you are to eat with me today. In the morning I will let you go and will tell you all that is in your heart.
Tad Samuēls Saulam atbildēja un sacīja: es esmu tas redzētājs, ej manā priekšā uz kalnu, un ēdat šodien ar mani, tad es tevi rīt agri atlaidīšu, un visu, kas tavā sirdī, to es tev sacīšu.
20 As for your donkeys who were lost three days ago, do not set your mind on them, for they have been found. For whom does all Israel desire? Is it not you and all your father’s house?”
Un par tām ēzeļu mātēm, kas tev aizvakar zudušas, par tām nebēdājies vairs, jo tās ir atrastas. Un kam tad būs nu viss Israēla labums? Vai tas nebūs tev un visam tava tēva namam?
21 Saul answered, “Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? And my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak to me like this?”
Tad Sauls atbildēja un sacīja: vai es neesmu viens Benjaminietis, no tās vismazākās Israēla cilts, un mans nams ir tas mazākais no visiem Benjamina cilts namiem? Kāpēc tad tu uz mani saki tādu vārdu?
22 Samuel took Saul and his servant and brought them into the guest room, and made them sit in the best place among those who were invited, who were about thirty persons.
Tad Samuēls ņēma Saulu un viņa puisi un tos ieveda ēdamā istabā un tos sēdināja visaugstākā vietā pie tiem aicinātiem, - to bija pie trīsdesmit vīru.
23 Samuel said to the cook, “Bring the portion which I gave you, of which I said to you, ‘Set it aside.’”
Tad Samuēls sacīja uz to pavāru: dod šurp to gabalu, ko es tev devu, sacīdams: paglabā to pie sevis.
24 The cook took up the thigh, and that which was on it, and set it before Saul. Samuel said, “Behold, that which has been reserved! Set it before yourself and eat; because it has been kept for you for the appointed time, for I said, ‘I have invited the people.’” So Saul ate with Samuel that day.
Tad tas pavārs atnesa vienu pleci ar visu to, kas klāt bija, un to cēla Saulam priekšā. Un viņš sacīja: redzi, tev ir priekšā celts, kas bija atlicināts, ēd, jo tas uz šo nolikto laiku priekš tevis ir paglabāts, kad es sacīju: es tos ļaudis esmu aicinājis. Tā Sauls ēda ar Samuēli tai dienā.
25 When they had come down from the high place into the city, he talked with Saul on the housetop.
Un tie nogāja no tā kalna uz pilsētu; un viņš runāja ar Saulu uz jumta.
26 They arose early; and about daybreak, Samuel called to Saul on the housetop, saying, “Get up, that I may send you away.” Saul arose, and they both went outside, he and Samuel, together.
Un tie cēlās agri, un kad gaisma metās, tad Samuēls sauca Saulam uz jumta sacīdams: celies, ka es tevi pavadu. Tad Sauls cēlās, un tie abi, viņš un Samuēls, izgāja ārā.
27 As they were going down at the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, “Tell the servant to go on ahead of us.” He went ahead, then Samuel said, “But stand still first, that I may cause you to hear God’s message.”
Un kad tie līdz pilsētas galam bija nogājuši, tad Samuēls sacīja uz Saulu: saki tam puisim, lai viņš mums iet papriekš, (tad tas nogāja), bet tu palieci nu stāvot, jo es tev likšu Dieva vārdu dzirdēt.
