Pirmā Samuela 16
1 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Samuēli: cik ilgi tu žēlojies par Saulu, kad Es to esmu atmetis, ka tam nebūs Israēlim būt par ķēniņu? Pildi savu ragu ar eļļu un noej; Es tevi sūtīšu pie Isajus, tā Bētlemieša, jo Es no viņa dēliem Sev esmu izredzējis ķēniņu.
The Lord asked Samuel, “How long are you going to continue to mourn over Saul because I have rejected him as king of Israel? Fill your flask with olive oil and go. I'm sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem, for I have chosen a king for myself from among his sons.”
2 Bet Samuēls sacīja: kā lai es eju? Jo Sauls to dzirdēs un mani nokaus. Tad Tas Kungs sacīja: ņem vienu teļu līdz un saki:
“How can I go and do that?” Samuel asked. “Saul will hear about it and kill me!” The Lord answered, “Take a young cow with you and say, ‘I've come to sacrifice to the Lord.’
3 Es esmu nācis Tam Kungam upurēt. Un aicini Isaju pie tā upura, tad Es tev darīšu zināmu, ko tev būs darīt, un tev būs Man to svaidīt, ko Es tev noteikšu.
Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you have to do. Anoint for me the one I tell you to.”
4 Un Samuēls darīja, ko Tas Kungs bija runājis, un nāca uz Bētlemi. Tad tās pilsētas vecaji drebēdami viņam gāja pretī un sacīja: vai tu nāci ar mieru?
Samuel did what the Lord had told him to and went to Bethlehem. When the town elders met him, they were afraid and asked him, “Do you come in peace?”
5 Un viņš sacīja: ar mieru; es esmu nācis Tam Kungam upurēt. Svētījaties un nāciet ar mani pie tā upura. Un viņš svētīja Isaju un viņa dēlus un tos aicināja pie tā upura.
“Yes, I come in peace,” he replied. “I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Purify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.” He purified Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.
6 Un notikās, kad tie nāca, tad viņš uzlūkoja Elijabu un domāja: tiešām, šis ir Tā Kunga priekšā Viņa svaidītais.
When they arrived and Samuel saw Eliab, he said to himself, “This has got to be the Lord's anointed!”
7 Bet Tas Kungs sacīja uz Samuēli: “Neuzlūko viņa ģīmi nedz viņa lielo garumu, jo Es viņu esmu atmetis. Jo tas nav tā, kā cilvēki redz. Jo cilvēks redz, kas priekš acīm, bet Tas Kungs uzlūko sirdi.”
But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don't look at his outward appearance or how tall he is because I have rejected him, for the Lord does not look as human beings do. Human beings only see with their eyes what's on the outside, but the Lord looks at the way people think deep inside.”
8 Tad Isajus aicināja Abinadabu, un tam lika iet Samuēla priekšā; bet viņš sacīja: arī šo Tas Kungs nav izredzējis.
Then Jesse called Abinadab and had him come before Samuel, who said, “The Lord hasn't chosen this one either.”
9 Tad Isajus Šamum lika nākt priekšā. Bet viņš sacīja: arī šo Tas Kungs nav izredzējis.
Then Jesse had Shammah come forward. But Samuel said, “The Lord hasn't chosen this one either.”
10 Tā Isajus saviem septiņiem dēliem lika nākt Samuēla priekšā, bet Samuēls sacīja uz Isaju: Tas Kungs nevienu no šiem nav izredzējis.
Jesse had seven of his sons come before Samuel, but Samuel told him, “The Lord has not chosen any of these.”
11 Un Samuēls sacīja uz Isaju: vai šie tie jaunekļi visi? Un viņš sacīja: Tas jaunākais vēl atliek, un redzi, viņš gana avis. Tad Samuēls sacīja uz Isaju: nosūti un atvedi viņu šurp; jo mēs neapsēdīsimies, kamēr viņš nebūs atnācis.
So he asked Jesse, “Don't you have any more sons?” “Well, there's still the youngest,” Jesse replied, “but he is out looking after the sheep.” “Send for him and bring him here because we will not sit down and eat until he gets here,” Samuel told Jesse.
12 Tad viņš nosūtīja un to atveda. Un tas bija sarkaniem vaigiem, skaistām acīm un jauku ģīmi. Tad Tas Kungs sacīja: celies un svaidi to, jo tas ir tas.
So Jesse sent for him and brought him in. He had a red complexion with beautiful eyes, and looked handsome. The Lord said, “Go and anoint him, for he's the one.”
13 Tad Samuēls ņēma savu eļļas ragu un to svaidīja viņa brāļu vidū. Un Tā Kunga Gars nāca pār Dāvidu no šīs dienas un joprojām. Un Samuēls cēlās un nogāja uz Rāmatu.
Samuel took the flask of olive oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and the Spirit of the Lord came on David in power from that day on. Then Samuel left and returned to Ramah.
14 Un Tā Kunga Gars atkāpās no Saula, un viņu biedināja ļauns gars no Tā Kunga.
The Spirit of the Lord had left Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him.
15 Tad Saula kalpi uz to sacīja: redzi jel, ļauns gars no Dieva tevi biedina.
Saul's servants told him, “It's definitely an evil spirit from God that's tormenting you.
16 Lai saka mūsu kungs uz saviem kalpiem, kas tavā priekšā stāv, lai tie meklē kādu vīru, kas māk spēlēt uz koklēm, un kad tas ļaunais gars no Dieva pār tevi nāk, tad lai viņš ar savu roku spēlē, tad tev paliks labāki.
Give us your servants here the order to find someone who is good at playing the harp so that when the evil spirit from God comes on you, he can play and you'll feel much better.”
17 Tad Sauls sacīja uz saviem kalpiem: lūkojiet man jel pēc tāda vīra, kas labi māk spēlēt, un atvediet to pie manis.
Saul gave the order to his servants, “Find me someone who is good at playing the harp and bring him to me.”
18 Tad viens no viņa sulaiņiem atbildēja un sacīja: raugi, es esmu redzējis vienu Isajus dēlu Bētlemē, tas māk labi spēlēt un ir spēcīgs varonis un karavīrs un gudrs vārdos un skaists no auguma, un Tas Kungs ir ar viņu.
One of the servants replied, “I know a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who is good at playing the harp. He is a brave man, a good fighter, well-spoken and handsome, and the Lord is with him.”
19 Tad Sauls sūtīja vēstnešus pie Isajus un tam sacīja: sūti pie manis savu dēlu Dāvidu, kas ir pie avīm.
Saul sent messengers to Jesse, telling him, “Send me your son David who takes care of the sheep.”
20 Tad Isajus ņēma ēzeli ar maizi un trauku vīna un vienu kazlēnu, un to sūtīja Saulam caur sava dēla Dāvida roku.
So Jesse loaded a donkey with bread, a skin of wine, and a young goat and sent them with his son David to Saul.
21 Tā Dāvids nāca pie Saula un stāvēja viņa priekšā, un tas viņu ļoti iemīlēja, un viņš tam bija par bruņu nesēju.
David came to Saul and began working for him. Saul thought a great deal of him, and David became his armor-bearer.
22 Un Sauls sūtīja pie Isajus un lika sacīt: lai jel Dāvids paliek pie manis, jo viņš ir žēlastību atradis manās acīs.
Saul sent a message to Jesse, saying, “Please allow David to continue working for me because I am pleased with him.”
23 Un notikās, kad gars no Dieva nāca pār Saulu, tad Dāvids ņēma kokles un spēlēja ar savu roku: tad Sauls atspirga un tam palika labāki, un tas ļaunais gars no viņa atstājās.
So whenever the spirit from God came on Saul, David would take his harp and play, and Saul would gain relief and feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him.
