Kings I 24
1 And it came to pass when Saul returned from pursuing after the Philistines, that it was reported to him, saying, David [is] in the wilderness of Engaddi.
Un notikās, kad nu Sauls no Fīlistiem bija griezies atpakaļ, tad viņam teica un sacīja: redzi, Dāvids ir Enģedu tuksnesī.
2 And he took with him three thousand men, chosen out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men in front of Saddaeem.
Tad Sauls ņēma trīstūkstoš izlasītus vīrus no visa Israēla un gāja meklēt Dāvidu ar viņa vīriem uz tiem mežu kazu kalniem.
3 And he came to the flocks of sheep that were by the way, and there was a cave there; and Saul went in to make preparation, and David and his men were sitting in the inner part of the cave.
Un viņš nāca pie tiem avju laidariem ceļmalā; tur bija viena ala, un Sauls tanī iegāja savas kājas apsegt, bet Dāvids un viņa vīri sēdēja alas dibenā.
4 And the men of David said to him, Behold, this [is] the day of which the Lord spoke to you, that he would deliver your enemy into your hands; and you shall do to him as [it is] good in your sight. So David arose and cut off the skirt of Saul's garment secretly.
Tad Dāvida vīri uz to sacīja: redzi, šī ir tā diena, par ko Tas Kungs tev ir sacījis: “Redzi, Es tavu ienaidnieku dodu tavā rokā, un tev būs viņam darīt, kā tev tīk.” Un Dāvids cēlās un nogrieza klusiņām vienu stūri no Saula svārkiem.
5 And it came to pass after this that David's heart struck him, because he had cut off the skirt of his garment.
Bet pēc tam Dāvidam sirds par to lēca, ka viņš to stūri no Saula svārkiem bija nogriezis.
6 And David said to his men, The Lord forbid it me, that I should do this ting to my lord the anointed of the Lord, to lift my hand against him; for he is the anointed of the Lord.
Un viņš sacīja uz saviem vīriem: lai Tas Kungs mani no tā pasargā, ka es ko darītu savam kungam, Tā Kunga svaidītam, un savu roku pie viņa pieliktu, - jo viņš ir Tā Kunga svaidītais.
7 So David persuaded his men by [his] words, and did not suffer them to arise and kill Saul: and Saul arose and went his way.
Un Dāvids apsauca savus vīrus ar vārdiem un viņiem neļāva pret Saulu celties; un Sauls cēlās no tās alas un gāja pa ceļu.
8 And David rose up [and went] after him out of the cave: and David cried after Saul, saying, [My] lord, [O] king! and Saul looked behind him, and David bowed with his face to the ground, and did obeisance to him.
Tad arī Dāvids cēlās un izgāja no alas un sauca Saulam pakaļ un sacīja: mans kungs un ķēniņ! Tad Sauls skatījās atpakaļ. Un Dāvids locīdadamies ar savu vaigu nometās zemē.
9 And David said to Saul, Why do you listen to the words of the people, saying, Behold, David seeks your life?
Un Dāvids sacīja uz Saulu: kāpēc tu klausi cilvēku vārdiem, kas saka: redzi, Dāvids meklē tavu nelaimi?
10 Behold, your eyes have seen this day how that the Lord has delivered you this day into my hands in the cave; and I would not kill you, but spared you, and said, I will not lift up my hand against my lord, for he is the Lord's anointed.
Redzi, šodien tavas acis redz, ka Tas Kungs tevi šodien tai alā bija devis manā rokā. Un gan sacīja, lai es tevi nokauju, bet (mana roka) tevi žēloja, jo es sacīju: es nepielikšu savu roku pie sava kunga, jo viņš ir Tā Kunga svaidītais.
11 And behold, the skirt of your mantle [is] in my hand, I cut off the skirt, and did not kill you: know then and see today, there is no evil in my hand, nor impiety, nor rebellion; and I have not sinned against you, yet you lay snares for my soul to take it.
Redzi jel, mans tēvs, redzi savu svārku stūri manā rokā; jo kad es to stūri no taviem svārkiem nogriezu, tad es tevi neesmu nokāvis. Atzīsti tad un redzi, ka manā rokā nav nedz ļaunuma nedz blēdības, un ka pret tevi neesmu grēkojis; taču tu meklē manu dvēseli paņemt.
12 The Lord judge between me and you, and the Lord requite you on yourself: but my hand shall not be upon you.
Tas Kungs tiesās starp mani un tevi, tiešām Tas Kungs mani pie tevis atriebs, bet mana roka nebūs pret tevi.
13 As the old proverb says, Transgression will proceed from the wicked ones: but my hand shall not be upon you.
Tā kā top teikts pēc veca sakāma vārda: no bezdievīgiem nāk bezdievība; bet mana roka nebūs pret tevi.
14 And now after whom do you come forth, O king of Israel? After whom do you pursue? After a dead dog, and after a flea?
Pret ko tu, Israēla ķēniņ, esi izgājis? Kam tu dzenies pakaļ? Vienam nedzīvam sunim, vienai blusai!
15 The Lord be judge and umpire between me and you, the Lord look upon and judge my cause, and rescue me out of your hand.
Bet Tas Kungs būs par tiesnesi un tiesās starp mani un tevi, un redzēs un pārstāvēs manu tiesu un mani izglābs no tavas rokas.
16 And it came to pass when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, [Is] this your voice, Son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
Kad nu Dāvids bija beidzis šos vārdus uz Saulu runāt, tad Sauls sacīja: vai šī nav tava balss, mans dēls Dāvid? Un Sauls pacēla savu balsi un raudāja.
17 And Saul said to David, You [are] more righteous that I, for you have recompensed me good, but I have recompensed you evil.
Un viņš sacīja uz Dāvidu: tu esi taisnāks nekā es. Jo tu man esi labu darījis, bet es tev ļaunu esmu atmaksājis.
18 And you have told me today what good you have done me, how the Lord shut me up into your hands today, and you did not kill me.
Un nu tu man šodien esi parādījis, ka tu pie manis esi labu darījis, kad Tas Kungs mani tavā rokā bija iedevis, bet tu mani neesi nokāvis.
19 And if any one should find his enemy in distress, and should send him forth in a good way, then the Lord will reward him good, as you has done this day.
Kad, kas savu ienaidnieku atrod, vai viņš tam liks staigāt pa labu ceļu? Lai Tas Kungs tev labu atmaksā par to, ko tu šodien pie manis esi darījis.
20 And now, behold, I know that you shall surely reign, and the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.
Un nu, redzi, es zinu, ka tu tiešām būsi par ķēniņu, un ka Israēla valstība stāvēs tavā rokā.
21 Now then swear to me by the Lord, that you will not destroy my seed after me, that you will not blot out my name from the house of my father.
Tad zvērē nu man pie Tā Kunga, ka tu manu dzimumu pēc manis negribi izdeldēt, nedz iznīcināt manu vārdu no mana tēva nama.
22 So David swore to Saul: and Saul departed to his place, and David and his men went up to the strong-hold of Messera.
Tad Dāvids zvērēja Saulam. Un Sauls gāja savās mājās, bet Dāvids un viņa vīri gāja uz augšu tai nepieejamā vietā.
