1 Samuel 12
1 Then Samuel said to all Israel, “I have listened to your voice in all that you have said to me, and I have set over you a king.
Tad Samuēls sacīja uz visu Israēli: redzi, es jūsu balsij esmu paklausījis iekš visa, ko jūs man esat sacījuši, un esmu jums cēlis ķēniņu.
2 Now here is the king walking before you, and I am old and gray, and my sons are here with you. I have walked before you from my youth until this day.
Un nu redzi, te jūsu ķēniņš jūsu priekšā staigā, un es esmu vecs un sirms palicis, un mani dēli ir pie jums, un es esmu jūsu priekšā staigājis no savas jaunības līdz šai dienai.
3 Here I am. Bear witness against me before the LORD and before His anointed: Whose ox or donkey have I taken? Whom have I cheated or oppressed? From whose hand have I accepted a bribe and closed my eyes? Tell me, and I will restore it to you.”
Redzi, še es esmu, atbildiet pret mani Tā Kunga priekšā un viņa svaidītā priekšā: kura vērsi es esmu ņēmis un kuram es ēzeli ņēmis? Kuram es varas darbu darījis, kuru es spaidījis un no kura rokas es dāvanas ņēmis, ka es savas acis tādēļ būtu aizdarījis? Tad es jums to atdošu.
4 “You have not wronged us or oppressed us,” they replied, “nor have you taken anything from the hand of man.”
Un tie sacīja: tu mums netaisnību neesi darījis nedz mūs spaidījis, un nekā neesi ņēmis no neviena rokas.
5 Samuel said to them, “The LORD is a witness against you, and His anointed is a witness today, that you have not found anything in my hand.” “He is a witness,” they replied.
Tad viņš uz tiem sacīja: lai Tas Kungs ir liecinieks pret jums, un Viņa svaidītais lai ir šodien liecinieks, ka jūs manā rokā nekā neesat atraduši. Un tie sacīja: lai ir liecinieks.
6 Then Samuel said to the people, “The LORD is the One who appointed Moses and Aaron, and who brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.
Un Samuēls sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: (lai ir liecinieks) Tas Kungs, kas Mozu un Āronu ir cēlis un kas jūsu tēvus no Ēģiptes zemes izvedis.
7 Now present yourselves, so that I may confront you before the LORD with all the righteous acts He has done for you and your fathers.
Un nu stājaties šeitan, ka es ar jums tiesājos Tā Kunga priekšā par visām Tā Kunga labdarīšanām, ko Viņš jums un jūsu tēviem darījis.
8 When Jacob went to Egypt, your fathers cried out to the LORD, and He sent them Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt and settled them in this place.
Kad Jēkabs Ēģiptes zemē bija nācis, un jūsu tēvi uz To Kungu brēca, tad Tas Kungs sūtīja Mozu un Āronu, un tie vadīja jūsu tēvus no Ēģiptes un lika tiem šai vietā dzīvot.
9 But they forgot the LORD their God, and He sold them into the hand of Sisera the commander of the army of Hazor, and into the hands of the Philistines and the king of Moab, who fought against them.
Bet tie aizmirsa To Kungu, savu Dievu; tāpēc Viņš tos pārdeva Siserus, Hacoras kara kunga, rokā un Fīlistu rokā un Moaba ķēniņa rokā, un šie karoja pret viņiem.
10 Then they cried out to the LORD and said, ‘We have sinned, for we have forsaken the LORD and served the Baals and Ashtoreths. Now deliver us from the hands of our enemies, that we may serve You.’
Tad tie brēca uz To Kungu un sacīja: mēs esam grēkojuši, jo mēs To Kungu esam atstājuši un kalpojuši Baālam un Astartēm. Un nu izpestī mūs no mūsu ienaidnieku rokas, tad mēs Tev gribam kalpot.
11 So the LORD sent Jerubbaal, Barak, Jephthah, and Samuel, and He delivered you from the hands of your enemies on every side, and you dwelt securely.
Tad Tas Kungs sūtīja Jerub-Baālu un Bedanu un Jeftu un Samuēli, un jūs izglāba no jūsu ienaidnieku rokas visapkārt, tā ka jūs mierā dzīvojat.
12 But when you saw that Nahash king of the Ammonites was moving against you, you said to me, ‘No, we must have a king to rule over us’—even though the LORD your God was your king.
Kad nu jūs redzējāt, ka Naās, Amona bērnu ķēniņš, pret jums nāca, tad jūs uz mani sacījāt: nē, bet ķēniņam būs pār mums valdīt! Un tomēr Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, bija jūsu ķēniņš.
13 Now here is the king you have chosen, the one you requested. Behold, the LORD has placed a king over you.
Un nu redzi, te ir tas ķēniņš, ko jūs esat izvēlējušies, ko jūs esat prasījuši, un redzi, Tas Kungs ir cēlis ķēniņu pār jums.
14 If you fear the LORD and serve Him and obey His voice, and if you do not rebel against the command of the LORD, and if both you and the king who reigns over you follow the LORD your God, then all will be well.
Ja tik jūs To Kungu bīsities un Viņam kalposiet un Viņa balsij klausīsiet un Tā Kunga mutei pretī neturēsities un pakaļ staigāsiet Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, gan jūs, gan tas ķēniņš, kas pār jums valda.
15 But if you disobey the LORD and rebel against His command, then the hand of the LORD will be against you as it was against your fathers.
Bet ja jūs Tā Kunga balsij neklausīsiet un Tā Kunga mutei pretī turēsities, tad Tā Kunga roka būs pret jums, kā pret jūsu tēviem.
16 Now, therefore, stand and see this great thing that the LORD will do before your eyes.
Nostājaties tagad šeitan un redziet šo lielo lietu, ko Tas Kungs priekš jūsu acīm darīs.
17 Is it not the wheat harvest today? I will call on the LORD to send thunder and rain, so that you will know and see what a great evil you have committed in the sight of the LORD by asking for a king.”
Vai tagad nav kviešu pļaujamais laiks? Es piesaukšu To Kungu, un tas dos pērkonus un lietu, lai jūs atzīstat un redzat, ka tas ļaunums liels, ko jūs esat darījuši priekš Tā Kunga acīm, ķēniņu sev lūgdami.
18 So Samuel called to the LORD, and on that day the LORD sent thunder and rain. As a result, all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.
Kad nu Samuēls To Kungu piesauca, tad Tas Kungs deva pērkonus un lietu tai pašā dienā; un visi ļaudis To Kungu un Samuēli ļoti bijās.
19 They pleaded with Samuel, “Pray to the LORD your God for your servants so that we will not die! For we have added to all our sins the evil of asking for a king.”
Un visi ļaudis sacīja uz Samuēli: lūdz par saviem kalpiem To Kungu, savu Dievu, ka mēs nemirstam. Pie visiem saviem grēkiem mēs arī to grēku esam darījuši, ka sev ķēniņu esam lūguši.
20 “Do not be afraid,” Samuel replied. “Even though you have committed all this evil, do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart.
Tad Samuēls sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: nebīstaties! Jūs gan visu šo grēku esat darījuši, tomēr neatkāpjaties no Tā Kunga, bet kalpojiet Tam Kungam ar visu savu sirdi.
21 Do not turn aside after worthless things that cannot profit you or deliver you, for they are empty.
Un neatkāpjaties, ka nedzenaties nelietībai pakaļ, tiem, kas nedz palīdz nedz izglābj jo tie ir nelietība.
22 Indeed, for the sake of His great name, the LORD will not abandon His people, because He was pleased to make you His own.
Jo Tas Kungs neatstums Savus ļaudis Sava lielā Vārda dēļ; jo Tam Kungam ir paticis jūs darīt Sev par ļaudīm.
23 As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by ceasing to pray for you. And I will continue to teach you the good and right way.
Arī es ne mūžam tā pret To Kungu neapgrēkošos, ka es mitētos par jums lūgt un jums mācīt to labo un taisno ceļu.
24 Above all, fear the LORD and serve Him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things He has done for you.
Bīstaties tikai To Kungu un kalpojiet Viņam uzticīgi no visas savas sirds, jo jūs esat redzējuši, kādas lielas lietas Viņš pie jums ir darījis.
25 But if you persist in doing evil, both you and your king will be swept away.”
Bet ja jūs ļaunumu darīsiet, tad gan jūs, gan jūsu ķēniņš iesiet bojā.
