1 Samuel 18
1 After David had finished speaking with Saul, the souls of Jonathan and David were knit together, and Jonathan loved him as himself.
Kad nu viņš bija beidzis ar Saulu runāt, tad Jonatāna sirds ar Dāvida sirdi sadraudzējās, un Jonatāns viņu iemīlēja kā savu dvēseli.
2 And from that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return to his father’s house.
Un Sauls viņu ņēma tai pašā dienā un tam neļāva tēva namā pāriet.
3 Then Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself.
Un Jonatāns derēja derību ar Dāvidu, tāpēc ka viņš to mīlēja kā savu dvēseli.
4 And Jonathan removed the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, his sword, his bow, and his belt.
Un Jonatāns noņēma savu mēteli, kas viņam bija, un to deva Dāvidam, arī savas drēbes, kā arī savu zobenu un savu stopu un savu jostu.
5 So David marched out and prospered in everything Saul sent him to do, and Saul set him over the men of war. And this was pleasing in the sight of all the people, and of Saul’s officers as well.
Un Dāvids izgāja visur, kurp Sauls viņu sūtīja, un turējās gudri, un Sauls to iecēla pār tiem karavīriem, un tas patika labi visiem ļaudīm, arī Saula kalpiem.
6 As the troops were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing, with joyful songs, and with tambourines and other instruments.
Un notikās, kad tie nu pārnāca, un Dāvids atpakaļ griezās no tā Fīlista kaušanas, tad tās sievas no visām Israēla pilsētām dziedot un dejot izgāja ķēniņam Saulam pretī ar bungām, ar prieku un ar spēlēm.
7 And as the women danced, they sang out: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.”
Un tās sievas diedamas dziedāja un sacīja: Sauls tūkstošus nokāvis, bet Dāvids desmit tūkstošus.
8 And Saul was furious and resented this song. “They have ascribed tens of thousands to David,” he said, “but only thousands to me. What more can he have but the kingdom?”
Tad Sauls ļoti apskaitās un šī valoda viņam nepatika un viņš sacīja: tie Dāvidam devuši desmit tūkstošus un man tie devuši tūkstošus; tiešām valstība vēl viņam tiks.
9 And from that day forward Saul kept a jealous eye on David.
Un Sauls skaudīgi skatījās uz Dāvidu no tās dienas un joprojām.
10 The next day a spirit of distress sent from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied inside the house while David played the harp as usual. Now Saul was holding a spear,
Un notikās otrā dienā, kad ļauns gars no Dieva Saulam uznāca, un tas muldēja savā pašā namā, tad Dāvids spēlēja ar savu roku, kā ikdienas, un Saulam bija šķēps rokā,
11 and he hurled it, thinking, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice.
Un Sauls meta to šķēpu un domāja: es Dāvidu pie sienas noduršu. Bet Dāvids novērsās divreiz no viņa.
12 So Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with David but had departed from Saul.
Un Sauls bijās no Dāvida, jo Tas Kungs bija ar viņu un bija no Saula atstājies.
13 Therefore Saul sent David away and gave him command of a thousand men. David led the troops out to battle and back,
Un Sauls viņu atstādināja no sevis un to darīja par virsnieku pār tūkstoti; un tas izgāja un iegāja ļaužu priekšā.
14 and he continued to prosper in all his ways, because the LORD was with him.
Un Dāvids turējās gudri uz visiem saviem ceļiem, un Tas Kungs bija ar viņu.
15 When Saul saw that David was very successful, he was afraid of him.
Kad nu Sauls redzēja, ka tas ļoti gudri turējās, tad tas no viņa bijās.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he was leading them out to battle and back.
Bet viss Israēls un Jūda mīlēja Dāvidu, jo tas izgāja un iegāja viņu priekšā.
17 Then Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you in marriage. Only be valiant for me and fight the LORD’s battles.” But Saul was thinking, “I need not raise my hand against him; let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”
Un Sauls sacīja uz Dāvidu: redzi, es tev došu savu vecāko meitu Merabu par sievu; esi man tikai sirdīgs vīrs un vedi Tā Kunga karus. Jo Sauls domāja: mana roka nebūs pret viņu, bet lai Fīlistu roka ir pret viņu.
18 And David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my family or my father’s clan in Israel, that I should become the son-in-law of the king?”
Bet Dāvids sacīja uz Saulu: kas es esmu, un kas ir mana dzīves kārta un mana tēva radi iekš Israēla, ka man būs palikt ķēniņam par znotu?
19 So when it was time to give Saul’s daughter Merab to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah.
Bet kad tas laiks nāca, ka Meraba, Saula meita, Dāvidam bija jādod, tad tā Adriēlim no Meolas tapa dota par sievu.
20 Now Saul’s daughter Michal loved David, and when this was reported to Saul, it pleased him.
Bet Mikale, Saula meita, mīlēja Dāvidu. Kad tas Saulam tapa teikts, tad tas viņam bija pa prātam.
21 “I will give her to David,” Saul thought, “so that she may be a snare to him, and the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David, “For a second time now you can be my son-in-law.”
Un Sauls sacīja: to es viņam došu, lai tā viņam ir par valgu, un Fīlistu roka nāk pār viņu. Tāpēc Sauls sacīja uz Dāvidu: ar to otru tu man šodien būsi par znotu.
22 Then Saul ordered his servants, “Speak to David privately and tell him, ‘Behold, the king is pleased with you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, become his son-in-law.’”
Un Sauls pavēlēja saviem kalpiem: runājiet ar Dāvidu klusiņām un sakāt: redzi, ķēniņam ir labs prāts uz tevi, un visi viņa kalpi tevi mīļo, tad palieci ķēniņam par znotu.
23 But when Saul’s servants relayed these words to David, he replied, “Does it seem trivial in your sight to be the son-in-law of the king? I am a poor man and lightly esteemed.”
Un Saula kalpi runāja šos vārdus priekš Dāvida ausīm. Bet Dāvids sacīja: vai tā ir maza lieta priekš jūsu acīm, ķēniņam palikt par znotu? Un es taču esmu nabags un zems vīrs.
24 And the servants told Saul what David had said.
Un Saula kalpi viņam to stāstīja sacīdami: tā un tā Dāvids ir runājis.
25 Saul replied, “Say to David, ‘The king desires no other dowry but a hundred Philistine foreskins as revenge on his enemies.’” But Saul intended to cause David’s death at the hands of the Philistines.
Tad Sauls sacīja: sakāt Dāvidam tā: ķēniņam negribās kroņa naudas, bet simts Fīlistu priekšādas, lai atriebjamies pie ķēniņa ienaidniekiem. Jo Sauls domāja Dāvidu izdeldēt caur Fīlistu roku.
26 When the servants reported these terms to David, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. Before the wedding day arrived,
Tad viņa kalpi Dāvidam šos vārdus sacīja, un Dāvidam labi patika, ķēniņam palikt par znotu.
27 David and his men went out and killed two hundred Philistines. He brought their foreskins and presented them as payment in full to become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave his daughter Michal to David in marriage.
Bet tās dienas vēl nebija pagalam, tad Dāvids cēlās un nogāja ar saviem vīriem un nokāva no Fīlistiem divsimt vīrus. Dāvids atnesa viņu priekšādas, un tās ķēniņam tapa nodotas pilnā skaitā, ka viņš taptu ķēniņa znots. Tad Sauls viņam deva savu meitu Mikali par sievu.
28 When Saul realized that the LORD was with David and that his daughter Michal loved David,
Un Sauls redzēja un nomanīja, ka Tas Kungs bija ar Dāvidu, un Mikale, Saula meita, viņu mīlēja.
29 he grew even more afraid of David. So from then on Saul was David’s enemy.
Tad Sauls no Dāvida vēl vairāk bijās un Sauls ienīdēja Dāvidu, kamēr viņš dzīvoja.
30 Every time the Philistine commanders came out for battle, David was more successful than all of Saul’s officers, so that his name was highly esteemed.
Kad nu Fīlistu lielkungi izgāja (karot), tad notikās viņiem izejot, ka Dāvids bija gudrāks nekā visi Saula kalpi, tā ka viņa vārds kļuva ļoti cienīts.
