1 Samuel 25
1 When Samuel died, all Israel gathered to mourn for him; and they buried him at his home in Ramah. Then David set out and went down to the Wilderness of Paran.
Un Samuēls nomira un viss Israēls sapulcējās un žēlojās par to un to apraka viņa namā Rāmatā.
2 Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel. He was a very wealthy man with a thousand goats and three thousand sheep, which he was shearing in Carmel.
Tad Dāvids nogāja uz Pārana tuksnesi. Un viens vīrs bija Maonā, kam saimniecība bija Karmelī; un tas vīrs bija ļoti bagāts, un tam bija trīstūkstoš avis un tūkstoš kazas. Un tas bija Karmelī, savas avis cirpt.
3 His name was Nabal, and his wife’s name was Abigail. She was an intelligent and beautiful woman, but her husband, a Calebite, was harsh and evil in his dealings.
Un tam vīram bija vārds Nābals, un viņa sievai bija vārds Abigaīle, un tā sieva bija ļoti gudra padomā un skaista augumā. Bet tas vīrs bija pikts un ļauns savos darbos un no Kāleba bērniem.
4 While David was in the wilderness, he heard that Nabal was shearing sheep.
Kad nu Dāvids tuksnesī dzirdēja, ka Nābals savas avis cirpa,
5 So David sent ten young men and instructed them, “Go up to Nabal at Carmel. Greet him in my name
Tad viņš sūtīja desmit puišus un sacīja tiem puišiem: ejat uz Karmeli un ejat pie Nābala un sveicinājiet viņu no manas puses,
6 and say to him, ‘Long life to you, and peace to you and your house and to all that belongs to you.
Un sakāt: Dievs palīdz, miers lai ir ar tevi un miers ar tavu namu un miers ar visu, kas tev pieder!
7 Now I hear that it is time for shearing. When your shepherds were with us, we did not harass them, and nothing of theirs was missing the whole time they were in Carmel.
Un nu es esmu dzirdējis, ka tev ir avju cirpēji. Tad nu tavi gani pie mums ir bijuši, mēs tiem nekā ļauna neesam darījuši, tiem arī nekas nav zudis visu to laiku, kamēr tie Karmelī bijuši.
8 Ask your young men, and they will tell you. So let my young men find favor with you, for we have come on the day of a feast. Please give whatever you can afford to your servants and to your son David.’”
Vaicā savus puišus, tad tie tev to sacīs. Lai tad tie jaunekļi žēlastību atrod priekš tavām acīm, jo mēs labā dienā esam atnākuši. Dod jel saviem kalpiem un savam dēlam Dāvidam, kas tev pie rokas.
9 When David’s young men arrived, they relayed all these words to Nabal on behalf of David. Then they waited.
Kad nu Dāvida puiši bija nākuši un šos vārdus uz Nābalu no Dāvida puses runājuši, tad tie palika klusu.
10 But Nabal asked them, “Who is David? Who is this son of Jesse? Many servants these days are breaking away from their masters.
Bet Nābals atbildēja Dāvida kalpiem un sacīja: kas tas tāds Dāvids un kas tas tāds Isajus dēls? Šinī laikā ir daudz kalpu, kas no saviem kungiem aizbēg.
11 Why should I take my bread and water and the meat I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give them to these men whose origin I do not know?”
Vai tad es savu maizi un ūdeni un savus lopus ņemšu, ko es priekš saviem cirpējiem esmu kāvis, un došu vīriem, ko es nepazīstu, no kurienes tie ir?
12 So David’s men turned around and went back, and they relayed to him all these words.
Tad Dāvida puiši griezās atpakaļ uz savu ceļu un gāja atpakaļ un nāca un atsacīja viņam visus šos vārdus.
13 And David said to his men, “Strap on your swords!” So David and all his men put on their swords, and about four hundred men followed David, while two hundred stayed with the supplies.
Tad Dāvids sacīja uz saviem vīriem: apjoziet ikviens savu zobenu. Tad ikviens apjoza savu zobenu. Un Dāvids apjoza arīdzan savu zobenu, un tie devās uz augšu Dāvidam pakaļ pie četrsimt vīru, un divsimt palika pie rīkiem.
14 Meanwhile, one of Nabal’s young men informed Nabal’s wife Abigail, “Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, but he scolded them.
Bet Abigaīlei, Nābala sievai, viens no tiem puišiem to stāstīja un sacīja: redzi, Dāvids ir vēstnešus sūtījis no tuksneša un mūsu kungu licis sveicināt, bet viņš tos izbāra.
15 Yet these men were very good to us. When we were in the field, we were not harassed, and nothing of ours went missing the whole time we lived among them.
Bet tie vīri mums ir bijuši ļoti labi, un mums nekā ļauna nav darījuši un mums nekas nav zudis visu to laiku, kad mēs pie tiem mituši, kad bijām laukā.
16 They were a wall around us, both day and night, the whole time we were herding our sheep near them.
Tie mums bijuši par mūri gan naktīm, gan dienām, visu to laiku, kad mēs pie tiem bijuši, avis ganīdami.
17 Now consider carefully what you must do, because disaster looms over our master and all his household. For he is such a scoundrel that nobody can speak to him!”
Un nu ņem vērā un raugi, ko tu dari, jo nelaime būs gatava pret mūsu kungu un pret visu viņa namu, un tas ir netikls vīrs, ka viņam nekā nevar sacīt.
18 Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five butchered sheep, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs. She loaded them on donkeys
Tad Abigaīle steidzās un ņēma divsimt maizes un divus ādas traukus ar vīnu un piecas kautas avis un piecus pūrus miltu un simts rozīņu raušu un divsimt vīģu raušu, un to krāva uz ēzeļiem.
19 and said to her young men, “Go ahead of me. I will be right behind you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
Un tā sacīja uz saviem puišiem: noejat manā priekšā, redzi, es būšu aiz jums. Bet savam vīram Nābalam, viņa par to tam nedeva ziņas.
20 As Abigail came riding her donkey into a mountain ravine, she saw David and his men coming down toward her, and she met them.
Kad nu viņa uz ēzeļa jādama nonāca pakalnā, meža ēnā, redzi, tad Dāvids ar saviem vīriem nonāca viņai pretī, un viņa tos sastapa.
21 Now David had just finished saying, “In vain I have protected all that belonged to this man in the wilderness. Nothing that belongs to him has gone missing, yet he has paid me back evil for good.
Bet Dāvids bija sacījis: tiešām, es esmu velti sargājis visu, kas šim pieder tuksnesī, un tam nekas nav zudis no tā, kas viņam bija, bet viņš man maksā ļaunu par labu.
22 May God punish David, and ever so severely, if I let one of Nabal’s men survive until morning.”
Lai Dievs Dāvida ienaidniekiem šā un tā dara, ja es no visa, kas viņam pieder, līdz rītam vienu atlicināju, kas mīž pie sienas.
23 When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off the donkey, fell facedown, and bowed before him.
Kad nu Abigaīle Dāvidu redzēja, tad viņa steidzās un nokāpa no ēzeļa un Dāvida priekšā krita uz savu vaigu un metās pie zemes.
24 She fell at his feet and said, “My lord, may the blame be on me alone, but please let your servant speak to you; hear the words of your servant.
Un tā krita viņam pie kājām un sacīja: ak mans kungs, pielīdzini man, man to noziegumu, un lai jel tava kalpone priekš tavām ausīm runā, un klausi tavas kalpones vārdus!
25 My lord should pay no attention to this scoundrel Nabal, for he lives up to his name: His name means Fool, and folly accompanies him. I, your servant, did not see my lord’s young men whom you sent.
Mans kungs, nedusmojies, lūdzams, par šo netiklo vīru, par Nābalu, jo viņš ir tāds, kā viņa vārds skan; Nābals (ģeķis) viņa vārds un ģeķība ir pie viņa, un es, tava kalpone, sava kunga puišus neesmu redzējusi, ko tu esi sūtījis.
26 Now, my lord, as surely as the LORD lives and you yourself live, the LORD has held you back from coming to bloodshed and avenging yourself with your own hand. May your enemies and those who seek harm for my lord be like Nabal.
Nu tad, mans kungs, tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvs un tava dvēsele dzīva, Tas Kungs tevi ir noturējis, ka tu neesi nācis asinsgrēkā un neesi atriebies ar savu roku, un nu, kā Nābals, tā lai top tavi ienaidnieki un tie, kas pret manu kungu ļaunu domā.
27 Now let this gift your servant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who follow you.
Un šī nu ir tā svētība, ko tava kalpone savam kungam ir atnesusi; lai to dod tiem puišiem, kas manam kungam staigā pakaļ.
28 Please forgive your servant’s offense, for the LORD will surely make a lasting dynasty for my lord, because he fights the LORD’s battles. May no evil be found in you as long as you live.
Piedod, lūdzams, tavai kalponei to pārkāpumu; jo Tas Kungs tiešām manam kungam dos pastāvīgu namu, tāpēc ka mans kungs karo Tā Kunga karu, un nekāds ļaunums tevi neaizņems ne mūžam.
29 And should someone pursue you and seek your life, then the life of my lord will be bound securely by the LORD your God in the bundle of the living. But He shall fling away the lives of your enemies like stones from a sling.
Un kad kāds cilvēks pret tevi celsies, tevi vajāt un tavu dvēseli meklēt, tad mana kunga dvēsele būs iesieta tai dzīvo (dvēseļu) kūlītī pie Tā Kunga, tava Dieva, bet tavu ienaidnieku dvēsele taps kā no lingas izlingota.
30 When the LORD has done for my lord all the good He promised, and when He has appointed you ruler over Israel,
Kad nu Tas Kungs manam kungam visu to labu darīs, ko Viņš par tevi runājis, un tevi cels par valdnieku pār Israēli,
31 then my lord will have no remorse or guilt of conscience over needless bloodshed and revenge. And when the LORD has dealt well with my lord, may you remember your maidservant.”
Tad manam kungam nebūs šis grēks un šis sirds grūtums, ka tu velti būtu asinis izlējis, un ka mans kungs pats sev būtu palīdzējies; un kad Tas Kungs manam kungam labu darīs, tad tu pieminēsi savu kalponi.
32 Then David said to Abigail, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you to meet me this day!
Tad Dāvids sacīja uz Abigaīli: slavēts lai ir Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, kas tevi šodien man pretī sūtījis.
33 Blessed is your discernment, and blessed are you, because today you kept me from bloodshed and from avenging myself by my own hand.
Un slavēts lai ir tavs padoms, un svētīta esi tu pati, ka tu man šodien noturējusi, ka neesmu nācis asinsgrēkā, un ka ar savu roku neesmu atriebies.
34 Otherwise, as surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, who has restrained me from harming you, if you had not come quickly to meet me, then surely no male belonging to Nabal would have been left alive by morning light.”
Jo patiesi, tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, dzīvs, kas mani noturējis tev ļaunu darīt; ja tu nebūtu steigusies un man pretī nākusi, tad Nābalam nebūtu atlicis līdz rīta gaismai neviens, kas mīž pie sienas.
35 Then David accepted from her hand what she had brought him, and he said to her, “Go home in peace. See, I have heeded your voice and granted your request.”
Tad Dāvids ņēma no viņas rokas, ko viņa tam bija atvedusi, un uz to sacīja: ej ar mieru atkal savās mājās! Redz, es tavu balsi esmu klausījis un tavu lūgšanu pieņēmis.
36 When Abigail returned to Nabal, there he was in the house, holding a feast fit for a king, in high spirits and very drunk. So she told him nothing until morning light.
Kad nu Abigaīle pie Nābala nāca, redzi, tad tam bija dzīres savā namā, tāpat kā ķēniņa dzīres, un Nābala sirds priecājās pie sevis, un viņš bija ļoti piedzēries. Bet viņa tam ne vārda nesacīja, ne maza, ne liela, līdz rīta gaismai.
37 In the morning when Nabal was sober, his wife told him about these events, and his heart failed within him and he became like a stone.
Un notikās rītā, kad vīns no Nābala bija izgājis, tad viņa sieva tam visu to stāstīja. Tad viņa sirds iekš viņa pamira, un viņš kļuva kā akmens.
38 About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal dead.
Un pēc kādām desmit dienām Tas Kungs sita Nābalu, ka tas nomira.
39 On hearing that Nabal was dead, David said, “Blessed be the LORD, who has upheld my cause against the reproach of Nabal and has restrained His servant from evil. For the LORD has brought the wickedness of Nabal down upon his own head.” Then David sent word to Abigail, asking for her in marriage.
Kad Dāvids dzirdēja, Nābalu esam mirušu, tad viņš sacīja: slavēts ir Tas Kungs, kas manu apsmieklu pie Nābala atriebis un Savu kalpu noturējis no ļauna, un ka Tas Kungs Nābalam to ļaunu uz viņa galvu maksājis. Un Dāvids nosūtīja un runāja uz Abigaīli, ka viņš to ņemtu par sievu.
40 When his servants came to Abigail at Carmel, they said, “David has sent us to take you as his wife.”
Tad Dāvida kalpi nāca pie Abigaīles uz Karmeli un runāja uz to un sacīja: Dāvids mūs pie tevis ir sūtījis, ka viņš tevi ņemtu sev par sievu.
41 She arose, then bowed facedown and said, “Here is your maidservant, ready to serve and to wash the feet of my lord’s servants.”
Tad viņa cēlās un metās uz savu vaigu pie zemes un sacīja: redzi, še ir tava kalpone, ka tā kalpo un mazgā sava kunga kalpu kājas.
42 So Abigail hurried and got on a donkey, and attended by five of her maidens, she followed David’s messengers and became his wife.
Un Abigaīle steidzās un cēlās un jāja uz ēzeļa ar savām piecām jaunām meitām, kas viņai staigāja pakaļ, un tā gāja Dāvida vēstnešiem pakaļ un viņam palika par sievu.
43 David had also married Ahinoam of Jezreel. So she and Abigail were both his wives.
Un Dāvids ņēma arī Aķinoamu no Jezreēles, un tā šās abas viņam bija par sievām.
44 But Saul had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Palti son of Laish, who was from Gallim.
Jo Sauls savu meitu Mikali, Dāvida sievu, bija devis Paltam, Laīsa dēlam, kas bija no Gallim.
