1 Samuel 9
1 Now there was a Benjamite, a powerful man, whose name was Kish son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah of Benjamin.
Un vīrs bija no Benjamina, Ķis vārdā, tas bija Abiēļa dēls, tas Cerora, tas Bekora, tas Apija, tas viena Benjaminieša dēls. Šis bija krietns, turīgs vīrs.
2 And he had a son named Saul, choice and handsome, without equal among the Israelites—a head taller than any of the people.
Un viņam bija dēls, Sauls vārdā, jauns un skaists, un tāda skaista vīra nebija starp Israēla bērniem kā viņš, veselu galvu lielāks nekā visi citi ļaudis.
3 One day the donkeys of Saul’s father Kish wandered off, and Kish said to his son Saul, “Take one of the servants and go look for the donkeys.”
Un Saula tēvam Ķisam ēzeļu mātes bija zudušas, un Ķis sacīja uz savu dēlu Saulu: ņem jel vienu no puišiem līdzi, un celies, ej meklēt tās ēzeļu mātes.
4 So Saul passed through the hill country of Ephraim and then through the land of Shalishah, but did not find the donkeys. He and the servant went through the region of Shaalim, but they were not there. Then they went through the land of Benjamin, and still they did not find them.
Tad viņš pārstaigāja Efraīma kalnus un gāja caur Zalisa zemi, un tās neatrada; un tie gāja caur Zaālim zemi, un arī tur tās nebija; un tie gāja caur Jemiņa zemi un tās neatrada.
5 When they reached the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant, “Come, let us go back, or my father will stop worrying about the donkeys and start worrying about us.”
Tad tie nāca uz Cuv zemi, un Sauls sacīja uz savu puisi, kas pie viņa bija: nāc, iesim atpakaļ, ka mans tēvs no tām ēzeļu mātēm mitēdamies nesāk mūsu pēc bēdāties.
6 “Look,” said the servant, “in this city there is a man of God who is highly respected; everything he says surely comes to pass. Let us go there now. Perhaps he will tell us which way to go.”
Bet šis uz to sacīja: redzi jel, šinī pilsētā ir viens Dieva vīrs, un tas vīrs stāv godā; viss ko viņš runā, tas tiešām notiek; ejam nu uz turieni, varbūt viņš mums teiks mūsu ceļu, kur mums jāiet.
7 “If we do go,” Saul replied, “what can we give the man? For the bread in our packs is gone, and there is no gift to take to the man of God. What do we have?”
Tad Sauls sacīja uz savu puisi: bet redzi, kad iesim, ko mēs tam vīram nesīsim? Jo maizes vairs nav mūsu kulītēs, un dāvanu mums nav, tam Dieva vīram ko nest, - kas tad mums ir?
8 The servant answered him again. “Look,” he said, “I have here in my hand a quarter shekel of silver. I will give it to the man of God, and he will tell us our way.”
Un tas puisis Saulam atkal atbildēja un sacīja: redzi, manā rokā ir sudraba sēķeļa ceturtdaļa, to es došu tam Dieva vīram, lai viņš mums teic mūsu ceļu.
9 (Formerly in Israel, a man on his way to inquire of God would say, “Come, let us go to the seer.” For the prophet of today was formerly called the seer.)
(Citkārt tā sacīja iekš Israēla, kad kas gāja Dievu vaicāt: nāciet, iesim pie tā redzētāja; jo ko šodien sauc par pravieti, to citkārt sauca par redzētāju.)
10 “Good,” said Saul to his servant. “Come, let us go.” So they set out for the city where the man of God was.
Tad Sauls sacīja uz savu puisi: tavs vārds ir labs, nāc, iesim! Un tie gāja uz to pilsētu, kur tas Dieva vīrs bija.
11 And as they were climbing the hill to the city, they met some young women coming out to draw water and asked, “Is the seer here?”
Šiem nu augšām ejot pa pilsētas pakalnu sastapa meitas, kas iznāca ūdeni smelt, un šie uz tām sacīja: vai tas redzētājs šeitan?
12 “Yes, he is ahead of you,” they answered. “Hurry now, for today he has come to the city because the people have a sacrifice on the high place.
Tās viņiem atbildēja un sacīja: redzi, še pat viņš ir, steidzies tad, jo viņš šodien ir nācis pilsētā, tāpēc ka šodien tiem ļaudīm upuris uz kalna.
13 As soon as you enter the city, you will find him before he goes up to the high place to eat. The people will not eat until he comes, because he must bless the sacrifice; after that, the guests will eat. Go up at once; you will find him.”
Kā nāksiet pilsētā, tad jūs viņu atradīsiet, pirms ne kā viņš iet uz kalnu ēst. Jo tie ļaudis neēdīs, kamēr viņš nāks, jo viņš svētī to upuri, pēc tam ēd tie aicinātie; tāpēc ejat nu, jo šodien jūs tiksiet pie viņa.
14 So Saul and his servant went up toward the city, and as they were entering it, there was Samuel coming toward them on his way up to the high place.
Un tā tie gāja pilsētā; un pilsētā ienākot, redzi, Samuēls tiem izgāja pretī, gribēdams iet uz kalnu.
15 Now on the day before Saul’s arrival, the LORD had revealed to Samuel,
Bet Tas Kungs vienu dienu papriekš, pirms ne kā Sauls nāca, Samuēla ausi bija atvēris sacīdams:
16 “At this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you are to anoint him leader over My people Israel; he will save them from the hand of the Philistines. For I have looked upon My people, because their cry has come to Me.”
Rīt ap šo laiku Es pie tevis sūtīšu vienu vīru no Benjamina zemes; to tev būs svaidīt par valdītāju Maniem Israēla ļaudīm, jo viņš Manus ļaudis izpestīs no Fīlistu rokas. Jo Es esmu uzlūkojis Savus ļaudis, tāpēc ka viņu brēkšana pie Manis nākusi.
17 When Samuel saw Saul, the LORD told him, “Here is the man of whom I spoke; he shall rule over My people.”
Kad nu Samuēls Saulu redzēja, tad Tas Kungs tam atbildēja: redzi, tas ir tas vīrs, par ko Es tev sacīju: šim būs valdīt pār Maniem ļaudīm.
18 Saul approached Samuel in the gateway and asked, “Would you please tell me where the seer’s house is?”
Un Sauls piegāja pie Samuēla pašos vārtos un sacīja: saki man, lūdzams, kur še ir tā redzētāja nams?
19 “I am the seer,” Samuel replied. “Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today. And when I send you off in the morning, I will tell you all that is in your heart.
Tad Samuēls Saulam atbildēja un sacīja: es esmu tas redzētājs, ej manā priekšā uz kalnu, un ēdat šodien ar mani, tad es tevi rīt agri atlaidīšu, un visu, kas tavā sirdī, to es tev sacīšu.
20 As for the donkeys you lost three days ago, do not worry about them, for they have been found. And upon whom is all the desire of Israel, if not upon you and all your father’s house?”
Un par tām ēzeļu mātēm, kas tev aizvakar zudušas, par tām nebēdājies vairs, jo tās ir atrastas. Un kam tad būs nu viss Israēla labums? Vai tas nebūs tev un visam tava tēva namam?
21 Saul replied, “Am I not a Benjamite from the smallest tribe of Israel, and is not my clan the least of all the clans of Benjamin? So why would you say such a thing to me?”
Tad Sauls atbildēja un sacīja: vai es neesmu viens Benjaminietis, no tās vismazākās Israēla cilts, un mans nams ir tas mazākais no visiem Benjamina cilts namiem? Kāpēc tad tu uz mani saki tādu vārdu?
22 Then Samuel took Saul and his servant, brought them into the hall, and seated them in the place of honor among those who were invited—about thirty in all.
Tad Samuēls ņēma Saulu un viņa puisi un tos ieveda ēdamā istabā un tos sēdināja visaugstākā vietā pie tiem aicinātiem, - to bija pie trīsdesmit vīru.
23 And Samuel said to the cook, “Bring the portion I gave you and told you to set aside.”
Tad Samuēls sacīja uz to pavāru: dod šurp to gabalu, ko es tev devu, sacīdams: paglabā to pie sevis.
24 So the cook picked up the leg and what was attached to it and set it before Saul. Then Samuel said, “Here is what was kept back. It was set apart for you. Eat, for it has been kept for you for this occasion, from the time I said, ‘I have invited the people.’” So Saul dined with Samuel that day.
Tad tas pavārs atnesa vienu pleci ar visu to, kas klāt bija, un to cēla Saulam priekšā. Un viņš sacīja: redzi, tev ir priekšā celts, kas bija atlicināts, ēd, jo tas uz šo nolikto laiku priekš tevis ir paglabāts, kad es sacīju: es tos ļaudis esmu aicinājis. Tā Sauls ēda ar Samuēli tai dienā.
25 And after they had come down from the high place into the city, Samuel spoke with Saul on the roof of his house.
Un tie nogāja no tā kalna uz pilsētu; un viņš runāja ar Saulu uz jumta.
26 They got up early in the morning, and just before dawn Samuel called to Saul on the roof, “Get ready, and I will send you on your way!” So Saul arose, and both he and Samuel went outside together.
Un tie cēlās agri, un kad gaisma metās, tad Samuēls sauca Saulam uz jumta sacīdams: celies, ka es tevi pavadu. Tad Sauls cēlās, un tie abi, viņš un Samuēls, izgāja ārā.
27 As they were going down to the edge of the city, Samuel said to Saul, “Tell the servant to go on ahead of us, but you stay for a while, and I will reveal to you the word of God.” So the servant went on.
Un kad tie līdz pilsētas galam bija nogājuši, tad Samuēls sacīja uz Saulu: saki tam puisim, lai viņš mums iet papriekš, (tad tas nogāja), bet tu palieci nu stāvot, jo es tev likšu Dieva vārdu dzirdēt.
