Pirmā Samuela 20
1 Tad Dāvids bēga no Najotas pie Rāmatas, un nāca un sacīja Jonatāna priekšā: ko es esmu darījis, kas ir mans noziegums un kas ir mani grēki tava tēva priekšā, ka viņš manu dzīvību meklē?
But David fled from Najoth, which is in Ramatha, and came and said to Jonathan: What have I done? what is my iniquity, and what is my sin against thy father, that he seeketh my life?
2 Tad tas uz viņu sacīja: lai Dievs pasargā, tu nemirsi! Redzi, mans tēvs nedara ne lielu ne mazu lietu, ko viņš man papriekš nesacītu, kādēļ tad mans tēvs šo lietu priekš manis būtu apslēpis? Tas tā nav.
And he said to him: God forbid, thou shalt not die: for my father will do nothing great or little, without first telling me: hath then my father hid this word only from me? no, this shall not be.
3 Tad Dāvids turklāt vēl zvērēja un sacīja: tavs tēvs labi zina, ka es žēlastību esmu atradis priekš tavām acīm, tāpēc viņš domā, lai Jonatāns no tā nekā nezina, ka tas par to nenoskumstas. Bet patiesi, tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo un tava dvēsele dzīvo, viens solis vien ir starp mani un nāvi.
And he swore again to David. And David said: Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, and he will say: Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved. But truly as the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, there is but one step (as I may say) between me and death.
4 Un Jonatāns sacīja uz Dāvidu: ko tava dvēsele vēlās, to es tev darīšu.
And Jonathan said to David: Whatsoever thy soul shall say to me, I will do for thee.
5 Un Dāvids sacīja uz Jonatānu: redzi, rītu ir jauns mēnesis, un man būtu ar ķēniņu pie galda jāsēž un jāēd, tad nu palaid mani, ka es laukā apslēpjos līdz trešās dienas vakaram.
And David said to Jonathan: Behold tomorrow is the new moon, and I according to custom am wont to sit beside the king to eat: let me go then that I may be hid in the field till the evening of the third day.
6 Ja tavs tēvs pēc manis vaicās, tad saki: Dāvids mani lūgdams lūdzis, ka varētu steigšus noiet uz savu pilsētu Bētlemi, jo tur ir tas gadskārtīgais upuris visiem tiem radiem.
If thy father look and inquire for me, thou shalt answer him: David asked me that he might run to Bethlehem his own city: because there are solemn sacrifices there for all his tribe.
7 Ja nu viņš tā sacīs: tas ir labi, - tad tavam kalpam būs miers. Bet ja viņš par to apskaistās, tad tu vari zināt, ka viņš ļaunu apņēmies.
If he shall say, It is well: thy servant shall have peace: but if he be angry, know that his malice is come to its height.
8 Dari tad žēlastību pie sava kalpa, jo tu ar savu kalpu Tā Kunga derību esi derējis. Bet ja kāds noziegums ir pie manis, tad nokauj tu mani, kāpēc tu mani vēl gribētu vest pie sava tēva?
Deal mercifully then with thy servant: for thou hast brought me thy servant into a covenant of the Lord with thee. But if there be any iniquity in me, do thou kill me, and bring me not in to thy father.
9 Tad Jonatāns sacīja: lai tas ne mūžam tev nenotiek, ja es tiešām atzītu, ka mans tēvs būtu apņēmies tev ļaunu darīt, ka es tev to nesacītu!
And Jonathan said: Far be this from thee: for if I should certainly know that evil is determined by my father against thee, I could do no otherwise than tell thee.
10 Tad Dāvids sacīja uz Jonatānu: kas man to sacīs, kad tavs tēvs tev bargi atbildēs?
And David answered Jonathan: Who shall bring me word, if thy father should answer thee harshly concerning me?
11 Tad Jonatāns sacīja uz Dāvidu: nāc, ejam laukā. Un tie izgāja abi divi uz lauku.
And Jonathan said to David: Come and let us go out into the field. And when they were both of them gone out into the field,
12 Tad Jonatāns sacīja uz Dāvidu: Kungs, Israēla Dievs, ja es no sava tēva būšu izklausījis ap šo laiku rītu vai parītu, un redzi, kad tas ir labi priekš Dāvida, un es tad pie tevis nesūtu un tev no tā ziņas nedodu,
Jonathan said to David: O Lord God of Israel, if I shall discover my father’s mind, tomorrow or the day after, and there be any thing good for David, and I send not immediately to thee, and make it known to thee,
13 Tad lai Tas Kungs Jonatānam šā un tā dara. Bet ja mans tēvs ko ļaunu pret tevi ir apņēmies, tad es tev par to arī ziņu došu, un tevi palaidīšu, ka tu ar mieru vari aiziet. Un lai tad Tas Kungs ir ar tevi, kā Viņš ir bijis ar manu tēvu.
May the Lord do so and so to Jonathan and add still more. But if my father shall continue in malice against thee, I will discover it to thy ear, and will send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace, and the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
14 Un kaut tu, kamēr es vēl dzīvoju, kaut tu pie manis parādītu Tā Kunga žēlastību,
And if I live, thou shalt shew me the kindness of the Lord: but if I die,
15 Un kad es mirstu, ne mūžam neatrautu savu žēlastību no mana nama, arī tad ne, kad Tas Kungs Dāvida ienaidniekus visus no zemes izdeldēs.
Thou shalt not take away thy kindness from my house for ever, when the Lord shall have rooted out the enemies of David, every one of them from the earth, may he take away Jonathan from his house, and may the Lord require it at the hands of David’s enemies.
16 Tā Jonatāns derēja derību ar Dāvida namu. Un Tas Kungs ir piemeklējis Dāvida ienaidniekus.
Jonathan therefore made a covenant with the house of David: and the Lord required it at the hands of David’s enemies.
17 Un Jonatāns Dāvidu vēl reiz apzvērināja viņu mīlēdams, jo tas viņu mīlēja, itin kā savu dvēseli.
And Jonathan swore again to David, because he loved him: for he loved him as his own soul.
18 Un Jonatāns uz viņu sacīja: rītu ir jauns mēnesis, tad pēc tevis vaicās, jo tava vieta, kur tu sēdi, būs tukša.
And Jonathan said to him: Tomorrow is the new moon, and thou wilt be missed:
19 Bet trešā dienā nonāc drīz un ej uz to vietu, kur tu biji paslēpies darba dienā, un apsēdies pie Azel akmens.
For thy seat will be empty till after tomorrow. So thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place, where thou must be hid on the day when it is lawful to work, and thou shalt remain beside the stone, which is called Ezel.
20 Tad es trīs bultas šaušu tam sānis, tā kā mērķī šaudams.
And I will shoot three arrows near it, and will shoot as if I were exercising myself at a mark.
21 Un redzi, es sūtīšu puisi (sacīdams): ej, meklē tās bultas. Ja es uz to puisi sacīšu: redzi, tās bultas ir šaipus tevis, dabū tās, - tad nāc, jo tev ir miers un nav nekas, tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo.
And I will send a boy, saying to him: Go and fetch me the arrows.
22 Bet ja es tā uz to puisi sacīšu: redzi, tās bultas ir tavā priekšā viņā pusē, - tad ej, jo Tas Kungs tev ir licis iet.
If I shall say to the boy: Behold the arrows are on this side of thee, take them up: come thou to me, because, there is peace to thee, and there is no evil, as the Lord liveth. But if I shall speak thus to the boy: Behold the arrows are beyond thee: go in peace, for the Lord hath sent thee away.
23 Bet par to lietu, par ko es un tu esam runājuši, redzi, lai Tas Kungs ir starp mani un tevi mūžīgi.
And concerning the word which I and thou have spoken, the Lord be between thee and me for ever.
24 Tad Dāvids paslēpās laukā, un kad jauns mēnesis bija, tad ķēniņš apsēdās pie galda ēst.
So David was hid in the field, and the new moon came, and the king sat down to eat bread.
25 Kad nu ķēniņš apsēdās savā vietā, to brīdi kā ar vienu pie sienas, tad Jonatāns nāca, un Abners apsēdās Saulam sānis, bet Dāvida vieta palika tukša.
And when the king sat down upon his chair (according to custom) which was beside the wall, Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, and David’s place appeared empty.
26 Bet Sauls nesacīja tai dienā nekā, jo viņš domāja: tam kas ir noticis, ka tas nav šķīsts, - viņš nebūs šķīsts.
And Saul said nothing that day, for he thought it might have happened to him, that he was not clean, nor purified.
27 Bet otrā jauna mēneša dienā Dāvida vieta palika atkal tukša. Tad Sauls sacīja uz savu dēlu Jonatānu: kāpēc Isajus dēls pie galda nav nācis nedz vakar, nedz šodien?
And when the second day after the new moon was come, David’s place appeared empty again. And Saul said to Jonathan his son: Why cometh not the son of Isai to meat neither yesterday nor today?
28 Tad Jonatāns Saulam atbildēja: Dāvids mani lūgdams lūdzis, ka varētu iet uz Bētlemi,
And Jonathan answered Saul: He asked leave of me earnestly to go to Bethlehem,
29 Un sacīja: atlaid mani lūdzams, jo mūsu radiem ir upuris tai pilsētā, un mans brālis man pats to ir pavēlējis; nu tad, ja es žēlastību esmu atradis tavās acīs, tad dod man lūdzams vaļu, savus brāļus apmeklēt. Tādēļ viņš nav nācis pie ķēniņa galda.
And he said: Let me go, for there is a solemn sacrifice in the city, one of my brethren hath sent for me: and now if I have found favour in thy eyes, I will go quickly, and see my brethren. For this cause he came not to the king’s table.
30 Tad Sauls apskaitās pret Jonatānu un uz to sacīja: tu netiklais stūrgalvi, vai es nezinu, ka tu to Isajus dēlu esi izredzējis sev par kaunu un tavai netiklai mātei par kaunu?
Then Saul being angry against Jonathan said to him: Thou son of a woman that is the ravisher of a man, do I not know that thou lovest the son of Isai to thy own confusion and to the confusion of thy shameless mother?
31 Jo cik ilgi Isajus dēls virs zemes dzīvos, ne tu, nedz tava valstība nepastāvēs. Tad nu nosūti un dabū man viņu šurp, jo viņam jāmirst.
For as long as the son of Isai liveth upon earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Therefore now presently send, and fetch him to me: for he is the son of death.
32 Tad Jonatāns savam tēvam Saulam atbildēja un uz to sacīja: kāpēc tam būs mirt? Ko viņš ir darījis?
And Jonathan answering Saul his father, said: Why shall he die: what hath he done?
33 Tad Sauls meta ar šķēpu pēc viņa, ka to nodurtu. Un Jonatāns nomanīja, ka viņa tēvs pilnīgi bija apņēmies, Dāvidu nokaut.
And Saul caught up a spear to strike him. And Jonathan understood that it was determined by his father to kill David.
34 Tad Jonatāns cēlās no galda ar dusmām un neēda tai otrā jauna mēneša dienā nekā, jo viņam sirds ēdās par Dāvidu, tāpēc ka viņa tēvs to bija negodā licis.
So Jonathan rose from the table in great anger, and did not eat bread on the second day after the new moon. For he was grieved for David, because his father had put him to confusion.
35 Un rītā Jonatāns izgāja laukā, kur ar Dāvidu bija norunāts, un mazs zēns bija viņam līdz.
And when the morning came, Jonathan went into the field, according to the appointment with David, and a little boy with him.
36 Un viņš sacīja uz savu puisi: teci, meklē jel tās bultas, ko es šaušu. Tad tas puisis tecēja, un viņš šāva vienu bultu pāri pār to.
And he said to his boy: Go, and fetch me the arrows which I shoot. And when the boy ran, he shot another arrow beyond the boy.
37 Kad nu tas puisis uz to vietu nāca, kur Jonatāns to bultu bija aizšāvis, tad Jonatāns tam puisim sauca pakaļ un sacīja: vai tā bulta nav tavā priekšā viņā pusē?
The boy therefore came to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot: and Jonathan cried after the boy, and said: Behold the arrow is there further beyond thee.
38 Atkal Jonatāns tam puisim sauca pakaļ: steidzies čakli, nestāvi! Tad tas puisis Jonatānam lasīja tās bultas un nāca atkal pie sava kunga.
And Jonathan cried again after the boy, saying: Make haste speedily, stand not. And Jonathan’s boy gathered up the arrows, and brought them to his master:
39 Bet tas puisis nezināja nekā; Jonatāns tikai un Dāvids zināja to lietu.
And he knew not at all what was doing: for only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
40 Un Jonatāns deva tos rīkus savam puisim, un uz to sacīja: ej, nes tos pilsētā.
Jonathan therefore gave his arms to the boy, and said to him: Go, and carry them into the city.
41 Tā tas puisis nogāja, un Dāvids cēlās no dienasvidus puses un metās uz savu vaigu pie zemes un klanījās trīs reiz', un tie skūpstījās un raudāja abi divi, bet Dāvids jo stipri.
And when the boy was gone, David rose out of his place, which was towards the south, and falling on his face to the ground, adored thrice: and kissing one another, they wept together, but David more.
42 Tad Jonatāns sacīja uz Dāvidu: ej ar mieru! Ko mēs abi iekš Tā Kunga vārda esam zvērējuši sacīdami: Tas Kungs lai ir starp mani un tevi, un starp manu dzimumu un tavu dzimumu, - tas lai tā paliek mūžīgi. Un viņš cēlās un aizgāja, un Jonatāns nāca pilsētā.
And Jonathan said to David: Go in peace: and let all stand that we have sworn both of us in the name of the Lord, saying: The Lord be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And David arose, and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
