1 Samuel 7
1 So the people of Kiriath-jearim came and took the Ark of the Lord. They put it in Abinadab's house on the hill. They dedicated his son Eleazar to take care of the Ark of the Lord.
Tad tie ļaudis no Kiriat-Jearimas nāca un aizveda Tā Kunga šķirstu un to nesa Abinadaba namā uz kalna, un svētīja viņa dēlu Eleazaru, sargāt Tā Kunga šķirstu.
2 The Ark remained there in Kiriath-jearim from that day for a long time, in fact for twenty years. Everyone in Israel mourned and in repentance came back to the Lord.
Un notikās, ka no tās dienas, kad tas šķirsts Kiriat-Jearimā palika, labs laiks pagāja, pilni divdesmit gadi, un viss Israēla nams žēlojās pēc Tā Kunga.
3 Then Samuel said to all of Israel, “If you sincerely wish to come back to the Lord, then get rid of the foreign gods and the Ashtoreth images you have, and commit yourselves to the Lord and only worship him, and he will save you from the Philistines.”
Tad Samuēls runāja uz visu Israēla namu un sacīja: ja jūs no visas savas sirds pie Tā Kunga gribat atgriezties, tad metiet nost tos svešos dievus un tās Astartes, un griežat savu sirdi pie Tā Kunga un kalpojiet Viņam vien, tad Viņš jūs izglābs no Fīlistu rokas.
4 The people of Israel got rid of their Baals and Ashtoreth images and worshiped only the Lord.
Tad Israēla bērni meta nost tos Baālus un tās Astartes un kalpoja Tam Kungam vien.
5 Then Samuel said, “Have all the people of Israel gather at Mizpah, and I will pray to the Lord for you.”
Un Samuēls sacīja: sapulcinājiet man visu Israēli uz Micpu, tad es To Kungu jūsu labad piesaukšu.
6 Once they had gathered at Mizpah, they drew water and poured it out before the Lord. They fasted that day, and admitted, “We have sinned against the Lord.” Samuel became the leader of the Israelites at Mizpah.
Un tie tapa sapulcināti Micpā un smēla ūdeni un to izlēja Tā Kunga priekšā un gavēja to dienu un tur sacīja: mēs pret To Kungu esam grēkojuši. Tā Samuēls tiesāja Israēla bērnus Micpā.
7 When the Philistines found out that the Israelites had gathered at Mizpah, their rulers led an attack on Israel. When the Israelites heard about this, they were terrified at what the Philistines might do.
Kad nu Fīlisti dzirdēja Israēla bērnus Micpā esam sapulcinātus, tad Fīlistu lielkungi nāca augšām pret Israēli. Un Israēla bērni to dzirdēja un bijās priekš Fīlistiem.
8 They told Samuel, “Don't stop pleading with the Lord our God for us so he can save us from the Philistines.”
Un Israēla bērni sacīja uz Samuēli: nemities mūsu dēļ brēkt uz To Kungu, mūsu Dievu, ka Viņš mūs izglābj no Fīlistu rokas.
9 Samuel took a young lamb and presented it as a whole burnt offering to the Lord. He cried out for help to the Lord for Israel, and the Lord responded.
Tad Samuēls ņēma vienu zīdāmu jēru un upurēja to visu Tam Kungam par dedzināmo upuri, un Samuēls brēca uz To Kungu Israēla labad, un Tas Kungs viņu paklausīja.
10 While Samuel was presenting the burnt offering, the Philistines approached to attack Israel. But the Lord thundered extremely loudly against the Philistines that day, which totally confused them, and they were defeated as Israel watched.
Kad nu Samuēls patlaban to dedzināmo upuri upurēja, tad Fīlisti nāca pret Israēli kauties. Tad Tas Kungs tai dienā lieliem pērkoniem lika rūkt pār Fīlistiem un tos iztrūcināja, ka no Israēla tapa sakauti.
11 Then the men of Israel ran out from Mizpah and chased them, killing them all the way to a place near Beth-car.
Un Israēla vīri izgāja no Micpas un dzinās Fīlistiem pakaļ un tos sakāva līdz pat Betkarai.
12 After this Samuel took a stone and placed it between Mizpah and Shen. He called it Ebenezer, saying, “The Lord helped us right up to here!”
Tad Samuēls ņēma vienu akmeni un to uzcēla starp Micpu un Zenu, un nosauca viņa vārdu EbenEcer, (palīdzības akmens), un sacīja: līdz šejienei Tas Kungs mums palīdzējis.
13 In this way the Philistines were kept under control and did not invade Israel again. During Samuel's lifetime the Lord used his power against the Philistines.
Tā Fīlisti tapa pazemoti un nenāca vairs Israēla robežās, un Tā Kunga roka bija pret Fīlistiem, kamēr Samuēls dzīvoja.
14 The towns the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, all the way from Ekron to Gath, and Israel also liberated the neighboring territory from the hands of the Philistines. There was also peace between Israel and the Amorites.
Un tās pilsētas, ko Fīlisti Israēlim bija noņēmuši, nāca atkal Israēla rokā, no Ekronas līdz Gatai, un arī viņu robežas Israēls izrāva no Fīlistu rokus, jo Israēlim bija miers ar Amoriešiem.
15 Samuel was Israel's leader for the rest of his life.
Un Samuēls tiesāja Israēli, kamēr viņš dzīvoja.
16 Every year he went around, going to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah. At all these places he ruled Israel.
Un viņš gāja visapkārt ik gadus uz Bēteli un Gilgalu un Micpu, un tiesāja Israēli visās tanīs vietās.
17 Then he would return to Ramah because that was where he lived. He ruled Israel from there, and also built an altar to the Lord.
Un tad viņš griezās atpakaļ uz Rāmatu, jo tur bija viņa nams, un tur viņš tiesāja Israēli un tur uztaisīja altāri Tam Kungam.
