Pirmā Samuela 22

1 Tad Dāvids aizgāja no turienes un bēga uz Adulama alu. Un viņa brāļi to dzirdēja ar visu viņa tēva namu un nonāca pie viņa uz turieni.

David escaped and went to the cave of Adullam. When they heard where he was his brothers and all the rest of his family went and joined him there.

2 Un pie viņa sapulcinājās visi vīri, kas bija spaidos, un visi, kam bija daudz parādu, un visi, kam bija rūgtums sirdī, un viņš tiem palika par virsnieku, un pie viņa bija pie četrsimt vīru.

Everyone who was in trouble or in debt or resentful also came to him and he became their leader. He had around four hundred men with him.

3 Un Dāvids gāja no turienes uz Micpu Moaba zemē, un sacīja uz Moaba ķēniņu: lai jel mans tēvs un mana māte pie jums dzīvo, tiekams es atzīšu, ko Dievs ar mani darīs.

Then David went to Mizpeh in the country of Moab. He asked the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother come and stay with you until I find out what God is planning for me.”

4 Un viņš tos noveda pie Moaba ķēniņa un tie palika pie tā, kamēr Dāvids mita kalnos.

So he left them with the king of Moab, and they stayed with the king all the time David lived in the stronghold.

5 Tad pravietis Gads sacīja uz Dāvidu: nepaliec uz šiem kalniem, ej un paliec Jūda zemē. Tad Dāvids gāja un nāca Areta mežā.

But then the prophet Gad told David, “Do not stay in the stronghold. Go back to the land of Judah.” So David left and went to the forest of Hereth.

6 Un Sauls dzirdēja, ka Dāvids bija pamanīts ar tiem vīriem, kas pie viņa bija. Un Sauls sēdēja pie Ģibejas apakš kupla koka uz kalna, un viņa šķēps bija viņa rokā, un visi viņa kalpi stāvēja ap viņu.

Saul found out that David had returned and where he was. Saul was sitting under the tamarisk tree on the hill in Gibeah. He had his spear in his hand, with all his officials surrounding him.

7 Tad Sauls sacīja uz saviem kalpiem, kas ap viņu stāvēja: klausiet jel, jūs Benjaminieši, vai Isajus dēls jums visiem dos tīrumus un vīna dārzus, vai viņš jūs visus cels par tūkstošniekiem un par simtniekiem, -

Saul said to them, “Listen to me, you men of Benjamin! Is the son of Jesse going to give all of you fields and vineyards and make you commanders and officers in the army?

8 Ka jūs visi pret mani esat sazvērējušies, un neviena nav, kas priekš manām ausīm būtu sacījis, ka mans dēls derību ir derējis ar Isajus dēlu? Un neviena nav jūsu starpā, kam manis būtu žēl, un kas to priekš manām ausīm būtu teicis, ka mans dēls manu kalpu pret mani pamodinājis, ka tas uz mani glūn, kā tas šodien redzams.

Is that why you've all plotted against me? Not a single one of you told me that my own son had made an agreement with Jesse's son. Not a single one of you has shown you cared about me, or explained to me that my son has encouraged him to try and kill me, which is what he's doing right now!”

9 Tad Doēgs, tas Edomietis, kas pie Saula kalpiem stāvēja, atbildēja un sacīja: es redzēju Isajus dēlu uz Nobu nākam pie Aķimeleka, Aķitaba dēla.

Doeg the Edomite, who was standing there with Saul's officers, spoke up, saying, “I saw the son of Jesse visit Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, at Nob.

10 Tas To Kungu viņa labad vaicāja un tam deva ceļamaizi un tam deva arī Fīlista Goliata zobenu.

Ahimelech asked advice from the Lord for him and gave him food. He gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine as well.”

11 Tad ķēniņš nosūtīja un lika aicināt Aķimeleku, priestera Aķitaba dēlu, un visu viņa tēva namu, kas priesteri bija Nobā. Un tie nāca visi ķēniņa priekšā.

The king sent a message to summon Ahimelech the priest, son of Ahitub, and all his family, who were priests at Nob. They all came to the king.

12 Tad Sauls sacīja: klausi jel, tu Aķitaba dēls! Un tas sacīja: redzi, še es esmu, kungs.

“Now you listen, son of Ahitub,” the king shouted. “What is it, my lord?” Ahimelech asked.

13 Tad Sauls uz to sacīja: kāpēc jūs pret mani esat sazvērējušies, tu un Isajus dēls, ka tu viņam esi maizes devis un zobenu, un Dievu viņa labad vaicājis, ka viņš pret mani celtos un uz mani glūnētu, kā tas šodien redzams?

“Why have you and the son of Jesse plotted against me? You gave him bread and a sword, and asked advice from God for him so that he could rebel against me and try and kill me, which is what he's doing right now!”

14 Tad Aķimeleks ķēniņam atbildēja un sacīja: kurš tad starp visiem taviem kalpiem ir tik uzticīgs, kā Dāvids, paša ķēniņa znots, kas pie tevis var pieiet un tevi klausīt un top godā turēts tavā namā?

“Who of all your officers is as trustworthy as David, the king's son-in-law? He is in charge of your bodyguard, and highly respected in your family!” Ahimelech responded.

15 Vai tad es šodien esmu iesācis Dievu viņa pēc vaicāt? Lai Dievs pasargā! Lai ķēniņš tādu lietu uz savu kalpu negriež nedz uz visu mana tēva namu, jo tavs kalps no visām šīm lietām nekā nezin, ne mazu ne lielu.

“And was that day the first time he asked advice from God on his behalf? Of course not! The king should not accuse me your servant or any of my family, for I didn't know anything about any of this.”

16 Bet ķēniņš sacīja: mirt tev jāmirst, Aķimelek, tev un visam tava tēva namam.

“You're going to die for this!” the king declared. “You and all your family!”

17 Un ķēniņš sacīja uz tiem sargiem, kas pie viņa stāvēja: griežaties un nokaujiet Tā Kunga priesterus, tāpēc ka viņu roka arīdzan ir ar Dāvidu, un ka tie zinājuši viņu bēgam un man to nav sacījuši. Bet ķēniņa kalpi negribēja savu roku izstiept, Tā Kunga priesterus nokaut.

Then the king turned to his bodyguards standing there and ordered them, “Kill these priests of the Lord, because they're on David's side! They knew he was a fugitive and yet they didn't tell me!” But the king's guards refused to attack the priests of the Lord.

18 Tad ķēniņš sacīja uz Doēgu: griezies tu un kauj tos priesterus. Tad Doēgs, tas Edomietis, griezās un kāva tos priesterus un nokāva tai diena astoņdesmit un piecus vīrus, kas to nātnu efodu nesa.

So the king ordered Doeg, “You kill the priests!” Doeg the Edomite attacked and killed the priests, killing eighty-five men wearing the priestly ephod.

19 Viņš sita arī Nobu, to priesteru pilsētu, ar zobena asmeni, gan vīrus, gan sievas, gan bērnus, gan zīdāmos, gan vēršus, gan ēzeļus, gan sīkus lopus viņš nokāva ar zobena asmeni.

Then he went to Nob, the town of the priests, and slaughtered its men and women, children and infants, cattle, donkeys, and sheep.

20 Tomēr viens no Aķimeleka, Aķitaba dēla, dēliem izbēga, ar vārdu Abjatars, un bēga pie Dāvida.

But one of the sons of Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, managed to escape. His name was Abiathar, and he ran away and joined David.

21 Un Abjatars stāstīja Dāvidam, ka Sauls Tā Kunga priesterus bija nokāvis.

He told David that Saul had killed the priests of the Lord.

22 Tad Dāvids sacīja uz Abjataru: es jau to zināju tai dienā, kad Doēgs, tas Edomietis, tur bija, ka tas Saulam to tiešām atsacīs. Es esmu noziedzīgs pie visām tava tēva nama dvēselēm.

David told Abiathar, “I knew that day when Doeg the Edomite was there that he was going to tell Saul about it. It's my fault that all your family have died.

23 Paliec pie manis, nebīsties, kas manu dzīvību meklē, tam būs arī tavu dzīvību meklēt, jo pie manis tev būs patvērums.

But you can stay with me and you don't need to be afraid, because the man who wants to kill you wants to kill me too. I'll take good care of you.”
