1 Samuel 18
1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
Kad nu viņš bija beidzis ar Saulu runāt, tad Jonatāna sirds ar Dāvida sirdi sadraudzējās, un Jonatāns viņu iemīlēja kā savu dvēseli.
2 And Saul took him that day, and would not let him return to his father’s house.
Un Sauls viņu ņēma tai pašā dienā un tam neļāva tēva namā pāriet.
3 And David and Jonathan made a covenant, for be loved him as his own soul.
Un Jonatāns derēja derību ar Dāvidu, tāpēc ka viņš to mīlēja kā savu dvēseli.
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the coat with which he was clothed, and gave it to David, and the rest of his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
Un Jonatāns noņēma savu mēteli, kas viņam bija, un to deva Dāvidam, arī savas drēbes, kā arī savu zobenu un savu stopu un savu jostu.
5 And David went out to whatsoever business Saul sent him, and he behaved himself prudently: and Saul set him over the soldiers, and he was acceptable in the eyes of all the people, and especially in the eyes of Saul’s servants.
Un Dāvids izgāja visur, kurp Sauls viņu sūtīja, un turējās gudri, un Sauls to iecēla pār tiem karavīriem, un tas patika labi visiem ļaudīm, arī Saula kalpiem.
6 Now when David returned, after be slew the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels of joy, and cornets.
Un notikās, kad tie nu pārnāca, un Dāvids atpakaļ griezās no tā Fīlista kaušanas, tad tās sievas no visām Israēla pilsētām dziedot un dejot izgāja ķēniņam Saulam pretī ar bungām, ar prieku un ar spēlēm.
7 And the women sung as they played, and they said: I Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
Un tās sievas diedamas dziedāja un sacīja: Sauls tūkstošus nokāvis, bet Dāvids desmit tūkstošus.
8 And Saul was exceeding angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes, and he said: They have given David ten thousands, and to me they have given but a thousand; what can he have more but the kingdom?
Tad Sauls ļoti apskaitās un šī valoda viņam nepatika un viņš sacīja: tie Dāvidam devuši desmit tūkstošus un man tie devuši tūkstošus; tiešām valstība vēl viņam tiks.
9 And Saul did not look on David with a good eye from that day and forward.
Un Sauls skaudīgi skatījās uz Dāvidu no tās dienas un joprojām.
10 And the day after the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand as at other times. And Saul held a spear in his hand,
Un notikās otrā dienā, kad ļauns gars no Dieva Saulam uznāca, un tas muldēja savā pašā namā, tad Dāvids spēlēja ar savu roku, kā ikdienas, un Saulam bija šķēps rokā,
11 And threw it, thinking to nail David to the wall: and David stept aside out of his presence twice.
Un Sauls meta to šķēpu un domāja: es Dāvidu pie sienas noduršu. Bet Dāvids novērsās divreiz no viņa.
12 And Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from himself.
Un Sauls bijās no Dāvida, jo Tas Kungs bija ar viņu un bija no Saula atstājies.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him a captain over a thousand men, and he went out and came in before the people.
Un Sauls viņu atstādināja no sevis un to darīja par virsnieku pār tūkstoti; un tas izgāja un iegāja ļaužu priekšā.
14 And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
Un Dāvids turējās gudri uz visiem saviem ceļiem, un Tas Kungs bija ar viņu.
15 And Saul saw that he was exceeding prudent, and began to beware of him.
Kad nu Sauls redzēja, ka tas ļoti gudri turējās, tad tas no viņa bijās.
16 But all Israel and Juda loved David, for he came in and went out before them.
Bet viss Israēls un Jūda mīlēja Dāvidu, jo tas izgāja un iegāja viņu priekšā.
17 And Saul said to David: Behold my elder daughter Merob, her will I give thee to wife: only be a valiant man, and fight the battles of the Lord. Now Saul said within himself: Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hands of the Philistines be upon him.
Un Sauls sacīja uz Dāvidu: redzi, es tev došu savu vecāko meitu Merabu par sievu; esi man tikai sirdīgs vīrs un vedi Tā Kunga karus. Jo Sauls domāja: mana roka nebūs pret viņu, bet lai Fīlistu roka ir pret viņu.
18 And David said to Saul: Who am I, or what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son in law of the king?
Bet Dāvids sacīja uz Saulu: kas es esmu, un kas ir mana dzīves kārta un mana tēva radi iekš Israēla, ka man būs palikt ķēniņam par znotu?
19 And it came to pass at the time when Merob the daughter of Saul should have been given to David, that she was given to Hadriel the Molathite to wife.
Bet kad tas laiks nāca, ka Meraba, Saula meita, Dāvidam bija jādod, tad tā Adriēlim no Meolas tapa dota par sievu.
20 But Michol the other daughter of Saul loved David. And it was told Saul, and it pleased him.
Bet Mikale, Saula meita, mīlēja Dāvidu. Kad tas Saulam tapa teikts, tad tas viņam bija pa prātam.
21 And Saul said: I will give her to him, that she may be a stumblingblock to him, and that the band of the Philistines may be upon him. And Saul said to David: In two things thou shalt be my son in law this day.
Un Sauls sacīja: to es viņam došu, lai tā viņam ir par valgu, un Fīlistu roka nāk pār viņu. Tāpēc Sauls sacīja uz Dāvidu: ar to otru tu man šodien būsi par znotu.
22 And Saul commanded his servants to speak to David privately, saying: Behold thou pleasest the king, and all his servants love thee. Now therefore be the king’s son in law.
Un Sauls pavēlēja saviem kalpiem: runājiet ar Dāvidu klusiņām un sakāt: redzi, ķēniņam ir labs prāts uz tevi, un visi viņa kalpi tevi mīļo, tad palieci ķēniņam par znotu.
23 And the servants of Saul spoke all these words in the ears of David. And David said: Doth it seem to you a small matter to be the king’s son in law? But I am a poor man, and of small ability.
Un Saula kalpi runāja šos vārdus priekš Dāvida ausīm. Bet Dāvids sacīja: vai tā ir maza lieta priekš jūsu acīm, ķēniņam palikt par znotu? Un es taču esmu nabags un zems vīrs.
24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying: Such words as these hath David spoken.
Un Saula kalpi viņam to stāstīja sacīdami: tā un tā Dāvids ir runājis.
25 And Saul said: Speak thus to David: The king desireth not any dowry, but only a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. Now Saul thought to deliver David into the hands of the Philistines.
Tad Sauls sacīja: sakāt Dāvidam tā: ķēniņam negribās kroņa naudas, bet simts Fīlistu priekšādas, lai atriebjamies pie ķēniņa ienaidniekiem. Jo Sauls domāja Dāvidu izdeldēt caur Fīlistu roku.
26 And when his servants had told David the words that Saul had said, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David to be the king’s son in law.
Tad viņa kalpi Dāvidam šos vārdus sacīja, un Dāvidam labi patika, ķēniņam palikt par znotu.
27 And after a few days David rose up, and went with the men that were under him, and he slew of the Philistines two hundred men, and brought their foreskins and numbered them out to the king, that he might be his son in law. Saul therefore gave him Michol his daughter to wife.
Bet tās dienas vēl nebija pagalam, tad Dāvids cēlās un nogāja ar saviem vīriem un nokāva no Fīlistiem divsimt vīrus. Dāvids atnesa viņu priekšādas, un tās ķēniņam tapa nodotas pilnā skaitā, ka viņš taptu ķēniņa znots. Tad Sauls viņam deva savu meitu Mikali par sievu.
28 And Saul saw, and understood that the Lord was with David. And Michol the daughter of Saul loved him.
Un Sauls redzēja un nomanīja, ka Tas Kungs bija ar Dāvidu, un Mikale, Saula meita, viņu mīlēja.
29 And Saul began to fear David more: and Saul became David’s enemy continually.
Tad Sauls no Dāvida vēl vairāk bijās un Sauls ienīdēja Dāvidu, kamēr viņš dzīvoja.
30 And the princes of the Philistines went forth: and from the beginning of their going forth, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, and his name became very famous.
Kad nu Fīlistu lielkungi izgāja (karot), tad notikās viņiem izejot, ka Dāvids bija gudrāks nekā visi Saula kalpi, tā ka viņa vārds kļuva ļoti cienīts.
