< Kings I 13 >
1 And Saul chooses for himself three thousand men of the men of Israel: and there were with Saul two thousand who were in Machmas, and in mount Baethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gabaa of Benjamin: and he sent the rest of the people every man to his tent.
Sauls bija četrdesmit gadus vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu un valdīja divdesmit divus gadus pār Israēli.
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 And Jonathan smote Nasib the Philistine that dwelt in the hill; and the Philistines hear of it, and Saul sounds the trumpet through all the land, saying, The servants have despised [us].
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 say, Saul has smitten Nasib the Philistine; now Israel had been put to shame before the Philistines; and the children of Israel went up after Saul in Galgala.
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 And the Philistines gather together to war with Israel; and then come up against Israel thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand by the seashore for multitude: and they come up, and encamp in Machmas, opposite Baethoron southward.
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 And the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait so that they could not draw nigh, and the people hid themselves in caves, and sheepfolds, and rocks, and ditches, and pits.
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 And they that went over went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Galaad: and Saul was yet in Galgala, and all the people followed after him in amazement.
Un Ebreji cēlās pār Jardāni pāri uz Gada zemi un Gileādu. Bet Sauls bija vēl Gilgalā un visi ļaudis drebēja viņam pakaļ.
8 And he continued seven days for the appointed testimony, as Samuel told him, and Samuel came not to Galgala, and his people were dispersed from him.
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 And Saul said, Bring hither [victims], that I may offer whole-burnt-offerings and peace-offerings: and he offered the whole-burnt-offering.
Tad Sauls sacīja: nesiet man šurp to dedzināmo upuri un tos pateicības upurus. Un viņš upurēja to dedzināmo upuri.
10 And it came to pass when he had finished offering the whole-burnt-offering, that Samuel arrived, and Saul went out to meet him, [and] to bless him.
Kad nu viņš bija beidzis upurēt to dedzināmo upuri, redzi, tad Samuēls atnāca, un Sauls izgāja tam pretī, viņu sveicināt.
11 And Samuel said, What hast thou done? and Saul said, Because I saw how the people were scattered from me, and thou was not present as thou purposedst according to the set time of the days, and the Philistines were gathered to Machmas.
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 Then I said, Now will the Philistines come down to me to Galgala, and I have not sought the face of the Lord: so I forced myself and offered the whole-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 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly; for thou hast not kept my command, which the Lord commanded thee, as now the Lord would have confirmed thy kingdom over Israel for ever.
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 thy kingdom shall not stand to thee, and the Lord shall seek for himself a man after his own heart; and the Lord shall appoint him to be a ruler over his people, because thou hast not kept all that the Lord commanded thee.
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 And Samuel arose, and departed from Galgala, and the remnant of the people went after Saul to meet [him] after the men of war, when they had come out of Galgala to Gabaa of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were found 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 And Saul and Jonathan his son, and the people that were found with them, halted in Gabaa, of Benjamin; and they wept: and the Philistines had encamped in Machmas.
Un Sauls un Jonatāns, viņa dēls, un tie ļaudis, kas pie viņiem atradās, palika Benjamina Ģibejā. Bet Fīlisti bija apmetušies Mikmasā.
17 And men came forth to destroy out of the land of the Philistines in three companies; one company turning by the way of Gophera toward the land of Sogal,
Un no Fīlistu lēģera izgāja trīs pulki sirotāju, viens pulks griezās uz to ceļu pret Ovru, uz Saula zemi,
18 and another company turning the way of Baethoron, and another company turning by the way of Gabae that turns aside to Gai of Sabim.
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 there was not found a smith in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make themselves sword or spear.
Un neviena kalēja nebija pa visu Israēla zemi. Jo Fīlisti sacīja: lai Ebreji ne zobenu, ne šķēpu netaisa.
20 And all Israel went down to the Land of the Philistines to forge every one his reaping-hook and his tool, and every one his axe and his sickle.
Tādēļ visam Israēlim bija jānoiet pie Fīlistiem, savu lemesi vai lāpstu vai cirvi vai izkapti asināt.
21 And it was near the time of vintage: and their tools were [valued at] three shekels for a plough-share, and there was the same rate for the axe and the sickle.
Un asmeņi pie izkaptīm un lāpstām un dakšām un cirvjiem bija atcirsti, un tie dzenuļi atkal bija jāmetina.
22 And it came to pass in the days of the war of Machmas, that there was not a sword or spear found in the hand of all the people, that were with Saul and Jonathan; but with Saul and Jonathan his son was there found.
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 there went out some from the camp of the Philistines to the place beyond Machmas.
Un viens pulks Fīlistu devās uz to ceļa šaurumu kalnos pie Mikmasas.
