Pirmā Samuela 3
1 Un tas jauneklis Samuēls kalpoja Tam Kungam Elus priekšā, un Tā Kunga vārds bija dārgs tanī laikā, un parādīšanas notika reti.
Now the child Samuel ministered to the Lord before Heli, and the word of the Lord was precious in those days, there was no manifest vision.
2 Un notikās tai laikā, kad Elus savā vietā gulēja, (un viņa acis jau sāka tumšas mesties, ka tas nevarēja redzēt),
And it came to pass one day when Heli lay in his place, and his eyes were grown dim, that he could not see:
3 Un tas Dieva lukturis vēl nebija izdzisis, un Samuēls gulēja Tā Kunga namā, kur Dieva šķirsts bija.
Before the lamp of God went out, Samuel slept in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was.
4 Tad Tas Kungs Samuēli sauca, un šis sacīja: redzi, še es esmu,
And the Lord called Samuel. And he answered: Here am I.
5 Un skrēja pie Elus un sacīja: redzi, še es esmu, jo tu mani esi saucis. Un viņš sacīja: es tevi neesmu saucis, ej atkal gulēt. Un tas gāja un apgūlās.
And he ran to Heli and said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. He said: I did not call: go back and sleep. And he went and slept.
6 Tad Tas Kungs Samuēli atkal sauca. Un Samuēls cēlās un gāja pie Elus un sacīja: redzi, še es esmu, jo tu mani esi saucis. Viņš sacīja: es tevi neesmu saucis, mans dēls, ej atkal gulēt.
And the Lord called Samuel again. And Samuel arose and went to Heli, and said: Here am I: for thou calledst me. He answered: I did not call thee, my son: return and sleep.
7 Bet Samuēls vēl nepazina To Kungu un Tā Kunga vārds tam vēl nebija parādīts.
Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither had the word of the Lord been revealed to him.
8 Tad Tas Kungs Samuēli atkal sauca trešu lāgu. Un tas cēlās un gāja pie Elus un sacīja: redzi, še es esmu, tu mani esi saucis. Tad Elus noprata, ka Tas Kungs to jaunekli sauca.
And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose up and went to Heli.
9 Un Elus sacīja uz Samuēli: ej gulēt, un kad tevi sauks, tad saki: runā Kungs, jo Tavs kalps klausās. Un Samuēls gāja un apgūlās savā vietā.
And said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. Then Heli understood that the Lord called the child, and he said to Samuel: Go, and sleep: and if he shall call thee any more, thou shalt say: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and slept in his place.
10 Tad Tas Kungs nāca un nostājās un sauca kā papriekš: Samuēl, Samuēl! Un Samuēls sacīja: runā, jo Tavs kalps klausās.
And the Lord came and stood: and he called, as he had called the other times: Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel said: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth.
11 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Samuēli: redzi, Es ko darīšu iekš Israēla, ka visiem, kas to dzirdēs, abās ausīs skanēs.
And the Lord said to Samuel: Behold I do a thing in Israel: and whosoever shall hear it, both his ears shall tingle.
12 Tanī dienā Es pret Elu visu izdarīšu, ko pret viņa namu esmu runājis: Es to sākšu un arī pabeigšu.
In that day I will raise up against Heli all the things I have spoken concerning his house: I will begin, and I will make an end.
13 Jo Es tam esmu ziņu devis, ka Es soģis būšu pār viņa namu mūžīgi tā nozieguma dēļ, ka viņš zinājis, kā viņa bērni sev lāstus krājās, un tiem to nav liedzis.
For I have foretold unto him, that I will judge his house for ever, for iniquity, because he knew that his sons did wickedly, and did not chastise them.
14 Un tādēļ Es Elus namam esmu zvērējis, ka Elus nama noziegums nemūžam netaps salīdzināts ne caur kaujamiem, ne caur ēdamiem upuriem.
Therefore have I sworn to the house of Heli, that the iniquity of his house shall not be expiated with victims nor offerings for ever.
15 Un Samuēls gulēja līdz rītam, un tad viņš atvēra Tā Kunga nama durvis, bet Samuēls bijās šo parādīšanu Elum stāstīt.
And Samuel slept till morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Samuel feared to tell the vision to Heli.
16 Tad Elus Samuēli aicināja un sacīja: Samuēl, mans dēls. Un tas atbildēja: redzi, še es esmu.
Then Heli called Samuel, and said: Samuel, my son. And he answered: Here am I.
17 Un viņš sacīja: kas tas par vārdu, ko Viņš uz tevi runājis? Neslēp jel to man; lai Dievs tev šā un tā dara, ja tu man vienu vārdu apslēpsi no visiem, ko Viņš uz tevi runājis.
And he asked him: What is the word that the Lord hath spoken to thee? I beseech thee hide it not from me. May God do so and so to thee, and add so and so, if thou hide from me one word of all that were said to thee.
18 Tad Samuēls tam stāstīja visus tos vārdus un tam nekā neapslēpa. Un tas sacīja: Viņš ir Tas Kungs, lai Viņš dara, ko Viņš pats redz labu esam.
So Samuel told him all the words, and did not hide them from him. And he answered: It is the Lord: let him do what is good in his sight.
19 Un Samuēls uzauga, un Tas Kungs bija ar viņu, un Viņš nevienam no Saviem vārdiem nelika zemē krist.
And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and not one of his words fell to the ground.
20 Un viss Israēls no Dana līdz Bēršebai atzina, ka Samuēls bija Tā Kunga uzticīgais pravietis.
And all Israel from Dan to Bersabee, knew that Samuel was a faithful prophet of the Lord.
21 Un Tas Kungs vēl parādījās Šīlo, jo Tas Kungs parādījās Samuēlim Šīlo caur Tā Kunga vārdu.
And the Lord again appeared in Silo, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Silo, according to the word of the Lord. And the word of Samuel came to pass to all Israel.
