1 Samuel 8
1 And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
Kad nu Samuēls bija vecs palicis, tad viņš iecēla savus dēlus Israēlim par soģiem.
2 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abijah: they were judges in Beer-sheba.
Viņa pirmdzimušā dēla vārds bija Joēls, un tā otrā vārds bija Abijus, tie bija soģi Bēršebā.
3 And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
Bet viņa dēli nestaigāja viņa ceļos, bet dzinās pēc mantas un ņēma dāvanas un grozīja tiesu.
4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah:
Tad visi Israēla vecaji sapulcinājās un nāca pie Samuēla uz Rāmatu,
5 and they said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
Un uz to sacīja: redzi, tu esi palicis vecs un tavi dēli nestaigā tavos ceļos; tad nu cel mums ķēniņu, kas mūs tiesā, kā tas ir visām tautām.
6 But the thing displeased Samuel; when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
Un šī valoda Samuēlim nepatika, kad tie sacīja: dod mums ķēniņu, kas mūs tiesā. Un Samuēls pielūdza To Kungu.
7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not be king over them.
Tad Tas Kungs sacīja uz Samuēli: paklausi to ļaužu balsij iekš visa, ko tie uz tevi runā, jo tie nav tevi atmetuši, bet Mani tie ir atmetuši, ka Man vairs nebūs ķēniņam būt pār tiem.
8 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, in that they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
Tā tie arvien ir darījuši no tās dienas, kad Es tos esmu izvedis no Ēģiptes, līdz šai dienai, un Mani atstājuši un kalpojuši citiem dieviem; tā tie tev arīdzan dara.
9 Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit thou shalt protest solemnly unto them, and shalt shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
Un nu klausi viņu balsij, bet apliecini tiem skaidri un dari tiem zināmu, kāda tiesa ķēniņam, kas pār tiem valdīs.
10 And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.
Tad Samuēls visus Tā Kunga vārdus sacīja tiem ļaudīm, kas ķēniņu no viņa prasīja.
11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: he will take your sons, and appoint them unto him, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and they shall run before his chariots:
Un viņš sacīja: šī būs tā tiesa ķēniņam, kas pār jums valdīs: jūsu dēlus viņš ņems un tos cels uz saviem ratiem un par saviem jātniekiem, un ka tie skrien viņa ratu priekšā.
12 and he will appoint them unto him for captains of thousands and captains of fifties; and [he will set some] to plow his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and the instruments of his chariots.
Un viņš tos cels par virsniekiem pār piecdesmitiem, un ka tie viņa tīrumu ar un viņa labību pļauj, un ka tie viņam taisa kara rīkus un ratu rīkus.
13 And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
Un jūsu meitas viņš ņems par zalvju(ziežu) taisītājām un par pavārēm un par cepējām.
14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
Un jūsu labākos tīrumus un vīna un eļļas dārzus viņš ņems un dos saviem kalpiem.
15 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
Un no jūsu druvām un vīna dārziem viņš ņems to desmito un to dos saviem sulaiņiem un kalpiem.
16 And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.
Un viņš ņems jūsu kalpus un jūsu kalpones un jūsu labākos jaunekļus un jūsu ēzeļus, un ar tiem darīs savu darbu.
17 He will take the tenth of your flocks: and ye shall be his servants.
No jūsu ganāmiem pulkiem viņš ņems to desmito, un jūs būsiet viņam par kalpiem.
18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not answer you in that day.
Tad jūs gan tai laikā brēksiet sava ķēniņa dēļ, ko jūs sev izvēlējušies, bet Tas Kungs jūs tai dienā neklausīs.
19 But the people refused to hearken unto the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
Bet tie ļaudis negribēja klausīt Samuēla balsij un sacīja: ne tā, bet ķēniņš lai ir pār mums.
20 that we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.
Un mēs gribam būt, kā visas citas tautas, un mūsu ķēniņam būs mūs tiesāt un mūsu priekšā iziet un vest mūsu karus.
21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
Un Samuēls dzirdēja visus tos ļaužu vārdus, un tos atsacīja Tam Kungam.
22 And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.
Tad Tas Kungs sacīja uz Samuēli: paklausi viņu balsij un cel tiem ķēniņu. Tad Samuēls sacīja uz Israēla ļaudīm: ejat ikkatrs savā pilsētā.
