1 Samuel 7

1 The men of Kiriath Jearim came and took the LORD’s ark, and brought it into Abinadab’s house on the hill, and consecrated Eleazar his son to keep the LORD’s ark.

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 From the day that the ark stayed in Kiriath Jearim, the time was long—for it was twenty years; and all the house of Israel lamented after 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 Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you are returning to the LORD with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts to the LORD, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of 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 Then the children of Israel removed the Baals and the Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.

Tad Israēla bērni meta nost tos Baālus un tās Astartes un kalpoja Tam Kungam vien.

5 Samuel said, “Gather all Israel to 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 They gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, “We have sinned against the LORD.” Samuel judged the children of Israel in 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 heard that the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. When the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.

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 The children of Israel said to Samuel, “Do not stop crying to the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of 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 suckling lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt offering to the LORD. Samuel cried to the LORD for Israel, and the LORD answered him.

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 As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines came near to battle against Israel; but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day on the Philistines and confused them; and they were struck down before Israel.

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 The men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and struck them until they came under Beth Kar.

Un Israēla vīri izgāja no Micpas un dzinās Fīlistiem pakaļ un tos sakāva līdz pat Betkarai.

12 Then Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, “The LORD helped us until now.”

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 So the Philistines were subdued, and they stopped coming within the border of Israel. The LORD’s hand was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

Tā Fīlisti tapa pazemoti un nenāca vairs Israēla robežās, un Tā Kunga roka bija pret Fīlistiem, kamēr Samuēls dzīvoja.

14 The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and Israel recovered its border out of the hand of the Philistines. There was 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 judged Israel all the days of his life.

Un Samuēls tiesāja Israēli, kamēr viņš dzīvoja.

16 He went from year to year in a circuit to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all those places.

Un viņš gāja visapkārt ik gadus uz Bēteli un Gilgalu un Micpu, un tiesāja Israēli visās tanīs vietās.

17 His return was to Ramah, for his house was there, and he judged Israel there; and he built an altar to the LORD there.

Un tad viņš griezās atpakaļ uz Rāmatu, jo tur bija viņa nams, un tur viņš tiesāja Israēli un tur uztaisīja altāri Tam Kungam.
