Pirmā Samuela 24
1 Un notikās, kad nu Sauls no Fīlistiem bija griezies atpakaļ, tad viņam teica un sacīja: redzi, Dāvids ir Enģedu tuksnesī.
It happened, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, "Look, David is in the wilderness of En Gedi."
2 Tad Sauls ņēma trīstūkstoš izlasītus vīrus no visa Israēla un gāja meklēt Dāvidu ar viņa vīriem uz tiem mežu kazu kalniem.
Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the rocks of the wild goats.
3 Un viņš nāca pie tiem avju laidariem ceļmalā; tur bija viena ala, un Sauls tanī iegāja savas kājas apsegt, bet Dāvids un viņa vīri sēdēja alas dibenā.
He came to the sheep pens by the way, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were abiding in the innermost parts of the cave.
4 Tad Dāvida vīri uz to sacīja: redzi, šī ir tā diena, par ko Tas Kungs tev ir sacījis: “Redzi, Es tavu ienaidnieku dodu tavā rokā, un tev būs viņam darīt, kā tev tīk.” Un Dāvids cēlās un nogrieza klusiņām vienu stūri no Saula svārkiem.
The men of David said to him, "Look, the day of which the LORD said to you, 'Look, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.'" Then David arose, and cut off an edge of Saul's robe secretly.
5 Bet pēc tam Dāvidam sirds par to lēca, ka viņš to stūri no Saula svārkiem bija nogriezis.
It happened afterward, that David's heart struck him, because he had cut off an edge of Saul's robe.
6 Un viņš sacīja uz saviem vīriem: lai Tas Kungs mani no tā pasargā, ka es ko darītu savam kungam, Tā Kunga svaidītam, un savu roku pie viņa pieliktu, - jo viņš ir Tā Kunga svaidītais.
He said to his men, "The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the LORD's anointed, to put forth my hand against him, since he is the LORD's anointed."
7 Un Dāvids apsauca savus vīrus ar vārdiem un viņiem neļāva pret Saulu celties; un Sauls cēlās no tās alas un gāja pa ceļu.
So David restrained his men with these words and did not allow them to rise against Saul. And Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
8 Tad arī Dāvids cēlās un izgāja no alas un sauca Saulam pakaļ un sacīja: mans kungs un ķēniņ! Tad Sauls skatījās atpakaļ. Un Dāvids locīdadamies ar savu vaigu nometās zemē.
Afterward David also arose and went out of the cave, and called after Saul, saying, "My lord the king." When Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and showed respect.
9 Un Dāvids sacīja uz Saulu: kāpēc tu klausi cilvēku vārdiem, kas saka: redzi, Dāvids meklē tavu nelaimi?
David said to Saul, "Why do you listen to men's words, saying, 'Look, David seeks your harm?'
10 Redzi, šodien tavas acis redz, ka Tas Kungs tevi šodien tai alā bija devis manā rokā. Un gan sacīja, lai es tevi nokauju, bet (mana roka) tevi žēloja, jo es sacīju: es nepielikšu savu roku pie sava kunga, jo viņš ir Tā Kunga svaidītais.
Look, this day your eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered you today into my hand in the cave, but I refused to kill you, and my eye spared you; and I said, 'I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is the LORD's anointed.'
11 Redzi jel, mans tēvs, redzi savu svārku stūri manā rokā; jo kad es to stūri no taviem svārkiem nogriezu, tad es tevi neesmu nokāvis. Atzīsti tad un redzi, ka manā rokā nav nedz ļaunuma nedz blēdības, un ka pret tevi neesmu grēkojis; taču tu meklē manu dvēseli paņemt.
Moreover, my father, look, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and did not kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor disobedience in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, though you hunt for my life to take it.
12 Tas Kungs tiesās starp mani un tevi, tiešām Tas Kungs mani pie tevis atriebs, bet mana roka nebūs pret tevi.
May the LORD judge between me and you, and may the LORD avenge me of you; but my hand shall not be on you.
13 Tā kā top teikts pēc veca sakāma vārda: no bezdievīgiem nāk bezdievība; bet mana roka nebūs pret tevi.
As the proverb of the ancients says, 'Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness;' but my hand shall not be on you.
14 Pret ko tu, Israēla ķēniņ, esi izgājis? Kam tu dzenies pakaļ? Vienam nedzīvam sunim, vienai blusai!
Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom do you pursue? After a dead dog, or one flea?
15 Bet Tas Kungs būs par tiesnesi un tiesās starp mani un tevi, un redzēs un pārstāvēs manu tiesu un mani izglābs no tavas rokas.
May the LORD therefore be judge and give sentence between me and you. May he see and plead my cause, and deliver me out of your hand."
16 Kad nu Dāvids bija beidzis šos vārdus uz Saulu runāt, tad Sauls sacīja: vai šī nav tava balss, mans dēls Dāvid? Un Sauls pacēla savu balsi un raudāja.
It came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
17 Un viņš sacīja uz Dāvidu: tu esi taisnāks nekā es. Jo tu man esi labu darījis, bet es tev ļaunu esmu atmaksājis.
He said to David, "You are more righteous than I; for you have done good to me, whereas I have done evil to you.
18 Un nu tu man šodien esi parādījis, ka tu pie manis esi labu darījis, kad Tas Kungs mani tavā rokā bija iedevis, bet tu mani neesi nokāvis.
And you have declared this day how you have dealt well with me, in that the LORD had delivered me up into your hand and you did not kill me.
19 Kad, kas savu ienaidnieku atrod, vai viņš tam liks staigāt pa labu ceļu? Lai Tas Kungs tev labu atmaksā par to, ko tu šodien pie manis esi darījis.
For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away unharmed? Therefore may the LORD reward you good for that which you have done this day.
20 Un nu, redzi, es zinu, ka tu tiešām būsi par ķēniņu, un ka Israēla valstība stāvēs tavā rokā.
Now, look, I know that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.
21 Tad zvērē nu man pie Tā Kunga, ka tu manu dzimumu pēc manis negribi izdeldēt, nedz iznīcināt manu vārdu no mana tēva nama.
Swear now therefore to me by the LORD, that you will not cut off my descendants after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father's house."
22 Tad Dāvids zvērēja Saulam. Un Sauls gāja savās mājās, bet Dāvids un viņa vīri gāja uz augšu tai nepieejamā vietā.
David swore to Saul. Saul went home; but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
