1 Samuel 13
1 Saul was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned over Israel forty-two years.
Sauls bija četrdesmit gadus vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu un valdīja divdesmit divus gadus pār Israēli.
2 He chose for himself three thousand men of Israel: Two thousand were with Saul at Michmash and in the hill country of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. And the rest of the troops he sent away, each to his own home.
Un Sauls sev izlasīja trīs tūkstošus (vīru) no Israēla un divi tūkstoši bija pie Saula Mikmasā un uz Bēteles kalniem, un tūkstoš (vīru) pie Jonatāna Benjamina Ģibejā; un tos citus ļaudis viņš atlaida, ikvienu uz savām mājām.
3 Then Jonathan attacked the Philistine outpost at Geba, and the Philistines heard about it. So Saul blew the ram’s horn throughout the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear!”
Bet Jonatāns sita Fīlistus lēģerī Ģebā, un Fīlisti to dzirdēja. Tādēļ Sauls pūta ar bazūnēm pa visu zemi sacīdams: lai Ebreji to dzird.
4 And all Israel heard the news: “Saul has attacked an outpost of the Philistines, and now Israel has become a stench to the Philistines!” Then the people were summoned to join Saul at Gilgal.
Tad viss Israēls dzirdēja sakām: Sauls Fīlistus lēģerī ir sitis, un Israēls ir tapis smirdots pie Fīlistiem. Tad tie ļaudis tapa sasaukti uz Gilgalu Saulam pakaļ.
5 Now the Philistines assembled to fight against Israel with three thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and troops as numerous as the sand on the seashore. They went up and camped at Michmash, east of Beth-aven.
Un Fīlisti sapulcējās pret Israēli karot, trīsdesmit tūkstoš rati un seštūkstoš jātnieki un tik daudz ļaužu kā smiltis jūrmalā. Un tie cēlās un apmeta lēģeri pie Mikmasas, no Bet-Avenas pret rītiem.
6 Seeing that they were in danger because their troops were hard-pressed, the men of Israel hid in caves and thickets, among the rocks, and in cellars and cisterns.
Kad nu Israēla vīri redzēja savas bēdas (jo tie ļaudis bija spaidos), tad tie ļaudis paslēpās alās un ērkšķu krūmos un klintīs un pilīs un bedrēs.
7 Some Hebrews even crossed the Jordan into the land of Gad and Gilead. Saul, however, remained at Gilgal, and all his troops were quaking in fear.
Un Ebreji cēlās pār Jardāni pāri uz Gada zemi un Gileādu. Bet Sauls bija vēl Gilgalā un visi ļaudis drebēja viņam pakaļ.
8 And Saul waited seven days for the time appointed by Samuel, but Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the troops began to desert Saul.
Tad viņš gaidīja septiņas dienas, līdz tam laikam, ko Samuēls bija nolicis. Bet kad Samuēls uz Gilgalu nenāca, tad tie ļaudis no viņa izklīda.
9 So he said, “Bring me the burnt offering and the peace offerings.” And he offered up the burnt offering.
Tad Sauls sacīja: nesiet man šurp to dedzināmo upuri un tos pateicības upurus. Un viņš upurēja to dedzināmo upuri.
10 Just as he finished offering the burnt offering, Samuel arrived, and Saul went out to greet him.
Kad nu viņš bija beidzis upurēt to dedzināmo upuri, redzi, tad Samuēls atnāca, un Sauls izgāja tam pretī, viņu sveicināt.
11 “What have you done?” Samuel asked. And Saul replied, “When I saw that the troops were deserting me, and that you did not come at the appointed time and the Philistines were gathering at Michmash,
Tad Samuēls sacīja: ko tu esi darījis? Un Sauls sacīja: kad es redzēju, ka tie ļaudis no manis izklīda un tu noliktā laikā nenāci, un tie Fīlisti bija sapulcējušies Mikmasā,
12 I thought, ‘Now the Philistines will descend upon me at Gilgal, and I have not sought the favor of the LORD.’ So I felt compelled to offer the burnt offering.”
Tad es sacīju: nu Fīlisti pie manis nāks uz Gilgalu, un es Tā Kunga vaigu neesmu pielūdzis, tā es iedrošinājos un upurēju to dedzināmo upuri.
13 “You have acted foolishly,” Samuel declared. “You have not kept the command that the LORD your God gave you; if you had, the LORD would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time.
Tad Samuēls sacīja uz Saulu: tu esi aplam darījis; tu neesi turējis Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, bausli, ko Viņš tev ir pavēlējis; jo nu Tas Kungs tavu valstību pār Israēli būtu apstiprinājis mūžīgi,
14 But now your kingdom will not endure; the LORD has sought a man after His own heart and appointed him ruler over His people, because you have not kept the command of the LORD.”
Bet nu tava valstība nepastāvēs: Tas Kungs Sev vīru ir izmeklējis pēc Savas sirds, un Tas Kungs to ir nolicis Saviem ļaudīm par valdnieku, tāpēc ka tu neesi turējis, ko Tas Kungs tev bija pavēlējis.
15 Then Samuel set out from Gilgal and went up to Gibeah in Benjamin. And Saul numbered the troops who were with him, about six hundred men.
Tad Samuēls cēlās un gāja no Gilgalas uz Benjamina Ģibeju, un Sauls skaitīja tos ļaudis, kas pie viņa atradās, pie sešsimt vīru.
16 Now Saul and Jonathan his son and the troops with them were staying in Geba of Benjamin, while the Philistines camped at Michmash.
Un Sauls un Jonatāns, viņa dēls, un tie ļaudis, kas pie viņiem atradās, palika Benjamina Ģibejā. Bet Fīlisti bija apmetušies Mikmasā.
17 And raiders went out of the Philistine camp in three divisions. One headed toward Ophrah in the land of Shual,
Un no Fīlistu lēģera izgāja trīs pulki sirotāju, viens pulks griezās uz to ceļu pret Ovru, uz Saula zemi,
18 another toward Beth-horon, and the third down the border road overlooking the Valley of Zeboim facing the wilderness.
Un viens pulks griezās uz to ceļu pret Bet-Oronu, un viens pulks griezās uz to robežas ceļu, kas uz Ceboīm ieleju pret tuksnesi stiepjas.
19 And no blacksmith could be found in all the land of Israel, because the Philistines had said, “The Hebrews must not be allowed to make swords or spears.”
Un neviena kalēja nebija pa visu Israēla zemi. Jo Fīlisti sacīja: lai Ebreji ne zobenu, ne šķēpu netaisa.
20 Instead, all the Israelites would go down to the Philistines to sharpen their plowshares, mattocks, axes, and sickles.
Tādēļ visam Israēlim bija jānoiet pie Fīlistiem, savu lemesi vai lāpstu vai cirvi vai izkapti asināt.
21 The charge was a pim for sharpening a plowshare or mattock, a third of a shekel for sharpening a pitchfork or an axe, and a third of a shekel for repointing an oxgoad.
Un asmeņi pie izkaptīm un lāpstām un dakšām un cirvjiem bija atcirsti, un tie dzenuļi atkal bija jāmetina.
22 So on the day of battle not a sword or spear could be found in the hands of the troops with Saul and Jonathan; only Saul and his son Jonathan had weapons.
Un notikās kaujas dienā, ka ne pie viena no tiem ļaudīm, kas bija pie Saula un pie Jonatāna, neatrada rokā ne zobena, ne šķēpa, tikvien pie Saula un pie Jonatāna, viņa dēla, tie atradās.
23 And a garrison of the Philistines had gone out to the pass at Michmash.
Un viens pulks Fīlistu devās uz to ceļa šaurumu kalnos pie Mikmasas.
