< 1 Samuel 23 >

1 And they reported to David, saying, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are plundering the grain stores.”
Un Dāvidam teica un sacīja: redzi, Fīlisti karo pret Ķeģilu un aplaupa klonus.
2 Therefore, David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I go and strike down these Philistines?” And the Lord said to David, “Go, and you shall strike down the Philistines, and you shall save Keilah.”
Tad Dāvids vaicāja To Kungu un sacīja: vai man būs iet un Fīlistus kaut? Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Dāvidu: ej, jo tu Fīlistus kausi un izglābsi Ķeģilu.
3 And the men who were with David said to him, “Behold, we continue in fear here in Judea; how much more so, if we go into Keilah against the troops of the Philistines?”
Bet Dāvida vīri uz to sacīja: redzi, mēs bīstamies šeit iekš Jūda: kā mēs varētu iet uz Ķeģilu pret Fīlistu karapulkiem?
4 Therefore, David consulted the Lord again. And responding, he said to him: “Rise up, and go into Keilah. For I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
Tad Dāvids vaicāja atkal To Kungu, un Tas Kungs tam atbildēja un sacīja: “Celies, noej uz Ķeģilu, jo Es Fīlistus dodu tavā rokā.”
5 Therefore, David and his men went into Keilah. And they fought against the Philistines, and they took away their cattle, and they struck them with a great slaughter. And David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
Tad Dāvids nogāja ar saviem vīriem uz Ķeģilu un karoja pret Fīlistiem un aizdzina viņu lopus un sakāva tos lielā kaušanā. Tā Dāvids atpestīja Ķeģilas iedzīvotājus.
6 And in that time, when Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, was in exile with David, he had descended to Keilah, having an ephod with him.
Bet kad Abjatars, Aķimeleka dēls, uz Ķeģilu bēga pie Dāvida, tad viņš nonāca ar to efodu savā rokā.
7 Then it was reported to Saul that David had gone to Keilah. And Saul said: “The Lord has delivered him into my hands. For he is enclosed, having entered into a city which has gates and bars.”
Kad nu Saulam sacīja, ka Dāvids bija nācis uz Ķeģilu, tad Sauls sacīja: Dievs to nodevis manā rokā, jo viņš ir ieslēgts, ka tas nācis pilsētā, kur aizšaujami vārti.
8 And Saul instructed all the people to descend in order to fight against Keilah, and to besiege David and his men.
Tad Sauls sasauca tos ļaudis uz karu, ka tie noietu uz Ķeģilu, Dāvidu ar viņa vīriem aplenkt.
9 And when David had realized that Saul had secretly prepared evil against him, he said to Abiathar, the priest, “Bring the ephod.”
Kad nu Dāvids nomanīja, ka Sauls šo ļaunumu pret viņu slepeni bija apņēmies, tad viņš sacīja uz priesteri Abjataru: nes to efodu šurp.
10 And David said: “O Lord God of Israel, your servant has heard a report that Saul is planning to go to Keilah, so that he may overturn the city because of me.
Un Dāvids sacīja: Kungs, Israēla Dievs, Tavs kalps to dzirdējis, ka Sauls domā uz Ķeģilu nākt, to pilsētu samaitāt manis dēļ.
11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me into his hands? And will Saul descend, just as your servant has heard? O Lord God of Israel, reveal to your servant.” And the Lord said, “He will descend.”
Vai Ķeģilas namnieki mani nodos viņa rokā? Vai Sauls arī nāks lejā, kā Tavs kalps dzirdējis? Kungs, Israēla Dievs, saki to jel Savam kalpam. Tad Tas Kungs sacīja: viņš nonāks lejā.
12 And David said, “Will the men of Keilah deliver me, and the men who are with me, into the hands of Saul?” And the Lord said, “They will deliver you.”
Un Dāvids sacīja: vai tad Ķeģilas namnieki mani un manus vīrus nodos Saula rokā? Tad Tas Kungs sacīja: nodos.
13 Therefore, David, and his men of about six hundred, rose up, and, departing from Keilah, they wandered here and there, aimlessly. And it was reported to Saul that David had fled from Keilah, and was saved. For this reason, he chose not to go out.
Tad Dāvids cēlās ar saviem vīriem, to bija pie sešsimt, un tie izgāja no Ķeģilas un gāja, kur varēdami. Un kad Saulam sacīja, ka Dāvids no Ķeģilas aizbēdzis, tad viņš palika neizgājis.
14 Then David stayed in the desert, in very strong places. And he stayed on a mount in the wilderness of Ziph, on a shady mount. Nevertheless, Saul was seeking him every day. But the Lord did not deliver him into his hands.
Un Dāvids mita tuksnesī nepieejamās vietās un palika uz kalniem Zifas tuksnesī. Un Sauls to meklēja vienmēr, bet Dievs to nedeva viņa rokā.
15 And David saw that Saul had gone out, so that he might seek his life. Now David was in the desert of Ziph, in the woods.
Un Dāvids redzēja, ka Sauls bija izgājis, viņa dzīvību meklēt; un Dāvids bija Zifas tuksneša silā.
16 And Jonathan, the son of Saul, rose up and went to David in the woods, and he strengthened his hands in God. And he said to him:
Tad Jonatāns, Saula dēls, cēlās un gāja pie Dāvida silā un stiprināja viņa roku iekš Dieva,
17 “Do not be afraid. For the hand of my father, Saul, will not find you. And you shall reign over Israel. And I will be second to you. And even my father knows this.”
Un sacīja uz to: nebīsties, jo mana tēva Saula roka tevi neatradīs, un tu tapsi Israēlim par ķēniņu, un es būšu tas tuvākais pie tevis, un to mans tēvs Sauls arī gan zina.
18 Therefore, they both struck a pact before the Lord. And David stayed in the woods. But Jonathan returned to his house.
Un tie abi derēja derību Tā Kunga priekšā, un Dāvids palika tai silā, bet Jonatāns gāja uz savām mājām.
19 Then the Ziphites ascended to Saul at Gibeah, saying: “Behold, is not David hidden with us in very secure places in the woods on the hill of Hachilah, which is to the right of the desert?
Tad Zifas ļaudis nogāja pie Saula uz Ģibeju un sacīja: vai Dāvids neslēpjas pie mums silā nepieejamās vietās, uz Aķilas pakalna, kas tuksnesim pa labo roku?
20 Now therefore, if your soul has desired to descend, then descend. Then it will be for us to deliver him into the hands of the king.”
Nu tad, ķēniņ, nāc tūdaļ it pēc tava sirds prāta, jo mums pienākas, viņu nodot ķēniņa rokā.
21 And Saul said: “You have been blessed by the Lord. For you have grieved for my situation.
Tad Sauls sacīja: svētīti jūs esat Tam Kungam, ka jūs par mani esat apžēlojušies.
22 Therefore, I beg you, go forth, and prepare diligently, and act carefully. And consider the place where his foot may be, and who may have seen him there. For he thinks, concerning me, that I craftily plan treachery against him.
Ejat jel, ņemiet vēl vērā, skatāties un izlūkojiet viņa vietu, kur viņa pēdas būs, un kas viņu tur ir redzējis; jo man ir sacīts, ka viņš ļoti gudrs.
23 Consider and seek out all his hiding places, in which he may be concealed. And return to me with certainty about the matter, so that I may go with you. But if he would even press himself into the earth, I will search him out, amid all the thousands of Judah.”
Tāpēc izraugāt un izlūkojiet visas malas, kur viņš slēpjās; tad nāciet atkal pie manis ar īstu vēsti, tad es jums iešu līdz. Un ja viņš šai zemē būs, tad es viņam dzīšos pakaļ starp visiem tūkstošiem iekš Jūda.
24 And rising up, they went to Ziph before Saul. But David and his men were in the desert of Maon, in the plain to the right of Jeshimon.
Tad tie cēlās un nogāja uz Zifu Saulam pa priekšu. Bet Dāvids un viņa vīri turējās Maona tuksneša klajumā, pa labo roku tuksnesim.
25 Then Saul and his allies went to seek him. And this was reported to David. And immediately, he descended to the rock, and he moved about in the desert of Maon. And when Saul had heard of it, he pursued David in the desert of Maon.
Un Sauls ar saviem vīriem gāja, viņu meklēt. Bet Dāvidam tapa ziņa dota, un viņš nogāja uz to lielo akmeni un palika Maona tuksnesī. Kad nu Sauls to dzirdēja, tad viņš Dāvidam dzinās pakaļ pa Maona tuksnesi.
26 And Saul went to one side of the mountain. But David and his men were on the other side of the mountain. Then David was despairing that he would be able to escape from the face of Saul. And Saul and his men enclosed David and his men in the manner of a crown, so that they might capture them.
Un Sauls gāja šai kalna pusē, un Dāvids ar saviem vīriem viņā kalna pusē. Tad Dāvids steidzās no Saula bēgt, bet Sauls ar saviem vīriem Dāvidu un viņa vīrus aplenca, gribēdams tos sagūstīt.
27 And a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, because the Philistines have poured themselves out upon the land.”
Bet viens vēstnesis nāca pie Saula sacīdams: steidzies un ej, jo Fīlisti zemē ielauzušies.
28 Therefore, Saul turned back, ceasing in the pursuit of David, and he traveled to meet the Philistines. For this reason, they called that place, the Rock of Division.
Un Sauls griezās atpakaļ no Dāvida pakaļdzīšanās un gāja pret Fīlistiem; tāpēc šī vieta top nosaukta Zela-Maklekot (šķiršanās akmens).
29 Then David ascended from there, and he lived in very secure places in Engedi.
Un Dāvids aizgāja no turienes un palika Enģedos nepieejamās vietās.
