< 1 Samuel 18 >
1 And it happened that, when he had completed speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan adhered to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him like his own soul.
Kad nu viņš bija beidzis ar Saulu runāt, tad Jonatāna sirds ar Dāvida sirdi sadraudzējās, un Jonatāns viņu iemīlēja kā savu dvēseli.
2 And Saul took him that day, and would not permit him to return to his father’s house.
Un Sauls viņu ņēma tai pašā dienā un tam neļāva tēva namā pāriet.
3 Then David and Jonathan formed a pact. For he loved him like his own soul.
Un Jonatāns derēja derību ar Dāvidu, tāpēc ka viņš to mīlēja kā savu dvēseli.
4 And Jonathan took off the coat that he was wearing, and he gave it to David, with the rest of his garments, even to his sword and bow, and even 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 Also, David went out to do everything whatsoever that Saul sent him to do, and he conducted himself prudently. And Saul set him over men of war. And he was acceptable in the eyes of the entire people, and most of all in the sight of the servants of Saul.
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 Now when David returned, after he had struck down the Philistine, the women went out, from all the cities of Israel, leading the singing and dancing, rejoicing with timbrels and bells, so as to meet king Saul.
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 the women sang, as they played, saying, “Saul has struck down a thousand, and David ten thousand.”
Un tās sievas diedamas dziedāja un sacīja: Sauls tūkstošus nokāvis, bet Dāvids desmit tūkstošus.
8 Then Saul became exceedingly angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes. And he said: “They have given David ten thousand, and to me they gave only one thousand. What is left for him, except the kingdom itself?”
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 Therefore, Saul did not regard David with a good eye, from that day and thereafter.
Un Sauls skaudīgi skatījās uz Dāvidu no tās dienas un joprojām.
10 Then, on the next day, the evil spirit from God assailed Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand, just as at every other time. And Saul held a lance in his hand.
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 threw it, thinking that he would be able to fix David to the wall. And David stepped aside twice, from before his face.
Un Sauls meta to šķēpu un domāja: es Dāvidu pie sienas noduršu. Bet Dāvids novērsās divreiz no viņa.
12 And Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him, but he had withdrawn from Saul.
Un Sauls bijās no Dāvida, jo Tas Kungs bija ar viņu un bija no Saula atstājies.
13 Therefore, Saul sent him away from himself, and he made him tribune over one thousand men. And he entered and departed in the sight of the people.
Un Sauls viņu atstādināja no sevis un to darīja par virsnieku pār tūkstoti; un tas izgāja un iegāja ļaužu priekšā.
14 Also, David acted prudently in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
Un Dāvids turējās gudri uz visiem saviem ceļiem, un Tas Kungs bija ar viņu.
15 And so, Saul saw that he was exceedingly prudent, and he began to be wary of him.
Kad nu Sauls redzēja, ka tas ļoti gudri turējās, tad tas no viņa bijās.
16 But all of Israel and Judah loved David. For he entered and departed before them.
Bet viss Israēls un Jūda mīlēja Dāvidu, jo tas izgāja un iegāja viņu priekšā.
17 And Saul said to David: “Behold, my elder daughter, Merab. I will give her to you as wife. Only be a valiant man, and fight the wars of the Lord.” Now Saul was considering within himself, saying, “Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hands of the Philistines be upon 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 Then David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my life, and what is my father’s kinship within Israel, that I should be 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 Then it happened that, at the time when Merab, the daughter of Saul, was to be given to David, she was given to Adriel, the Meholathite, as wife.
Bet kad tas laiks nāca, ka Meraba, Saula meita, Dāvidam bija jādod, tad tā Adriēlim no Meolas tapa dota par sievu.
20 Now Michal, the other daughter of Saul, loved David. And this was reported to Saul, and it pleased him.
Bet Mikale, Saula meita, mīlēja Dāvidu. Kad tas Saulam tapa teikts, tad tas viņam bija pa prātam.
21 And Saul said, “I will give her to him, so that she may be a stumbling block to him, and so that the hand of the Philistines may be upon him.” And Saul said to David, “In two things, you shall be my son-in-law today.”
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 And Saul commanded his servants to speak to David privately, saying: “Behold, you are pleasing to the king, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, be the son-in-law of the king.”
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 And the servants of Saul spoke all these words to the ears of David. And David said: “Does it seem a small matter to you, to be the son-in-law of the king? I am but a poor and unimportant man.”
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 reported to Saul, saying, “David has spoken words in this manner.”
Un Saula kalpi viņam to stāstīja sacīdami: tā un tā Dāvids ir runājis.
25 Then Saul said, “Speak in this way to David: The king does not have need of any dowry, but only one hundred foreskins from the Philistine men, so that he may be vindicated from the enemies of the king.” So did Saul think to deliver David into 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 And when his servants had repeated to David the words that Saul had spoken, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David, so that he would become son-in-law of the king.
Tad viņa kalpi Dāvidam šos vārdus sacīja, un Dāvidam labi patika, ķēniņam palikt par znotu.
27 And after a few days, David, rising up, went with the men who were under him, and he struck down two hundred men of the Philistines. And he brought their foreskins, and he counted them out for the king, so that he might be his son-in-law. And so, Saul gave to him his daughter Michal as wife.
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 And Saul saw and understood that the Lord was with David. And Michal, the daughter of Saul, loved him.
Un Sauls redzēja un nomanīja, ka Tas Kungs bija ar Dāvidu, un Mikale, Saula meita, viņu mīlēja.
29 And Saul began to fear David all the more. And Saul became the enemy of David, every day.
Tad Sauls no Dāvida vēl vairāk bijās un Sauls ienīdēja Dāvidu, kamēr viņš dzīvoja.
30 And the leaders of the Philistines departed. And from the beginning of their departure, David conducted himself more prudently than all the servants of Saul, and his name became exceedingly celebrated.
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.
