< 1 Samuel 3 >
1 And the boy Samuel ministered to Jehovah before Eli. And the word of Jehovah was rare in those days; a vision was not frequent.
Un tas jauneklis Samuēls kalpoja Tam Kungam Elus priekšā, un Tā Kunga vārds bija dārgs tanī laikā, un parādīšanas notika reti.
2 And it came to pass at that time, when Eli lay in his place (now his eyes began to grow dim, he could not see),
Un notikās tai laikā, kad Elus savā vietā gulēja, (un viņa acis jau sāka tumšas mesties, ka tas nevarēja redzēt),
3 and the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel lay in the temple of Jehovah, where the ark of God was,
Un tas Dieva lukturis vēl nebija izdzisis, un Samuēls gulēja Tā Kunga namā, kur Dieva šķirsts bija.
4 that Jehovah called to Samuel. And he said, Here am I.
Tad Tas Kungs Samuēli sauca, un šis sacīja: redzi, še es esmu,
5 And he ran to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I did not call: lie down again. And he went and lay down.
Un skrēja pie Elus un sacīja: redzi, še es esmu, jo tu mani esi saucis. Un viņš sacīja: es tevi neesmu saucis, ej atkal gulēt. Un tas gāja un apgūlās.
6 And Jehovah called again, Samuel! And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I did not call, my son: lie down again.
Tad Tas Kungs Samuēli atkal sauca. Un Samuēls cēlās un gāja pie Elus un sacīja: redzi, še es esmu, jo tu mani esi saucis. Viņš sacīja: es tevi neesmu saucis, mans dēls, ej atkal gulēt.
7 Now Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, neither had the word of Jehovah yet been revealed to him.
Bet Samuēls vēl nepazina To Kungu un Tā Kunga vārds tam vēl nebija parādīts.
8 And Jehovah called again the third time, Samuel! And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And Eli perceived that Jehovah was calling the boy.
Tad Tas Kungs Samuēli atkal sauca trešu lāgu. Un tas cēlās un gāja pie Elus un sacīja: redzi, še es esmu, tu mani esi saucis. Tad Elus noprata, ka Tas Kungs to jaunekli sauca.
9 And Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down; and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Jehovah, for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
Un Elus sacīja uz Samuēli: ej gulēt, un kad tevi sauks, tad saki: runā Kungs, jo Tavs kalps klausās. Un Samuēls gāja un apgūlās savā vietā.
10 And Jehovah came, and stood, and called as at the other times, Samuel, Samuel! And Samuel said, Speak, for thy servant heareth.
Tad Tas Kungs nāca un nostājās un sauca kā papriekš: Samuēl, Samuēl! Un Samuēls sacīja: runā, jo Tavs kalps klausās.
11 And Jehovah said to Samuel, Behold, I do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Samuēli: redzi, Es ko darīšu iekš Israēla, ka visiem, kas to dzirdēs, abās ausīs skanēs.
12 In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house; I will begin and make an end.
Tanī dienā Es pret Elu visu izdarīšu, ko pret viņa namu esmu runājis: Es to sākšu un arī pabeigšu.
13 For I have declared to him that I will judge his house for ever, for the iniquity which he hath known: because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.
Jo Es tam esmu ziņu devis, ka Es soģis būšu pār viņa namu mūžīgi tā nozieguma dēļ, ka viņš zinājis, kā viņa bērni sev lāstus krājās, un tiem to nav liedzis.
14 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be expiated with sacrifice or oblation for ever.
Un tādēļ Es Elus namam esmu zvērējis, ka Elus nama noziegums nemūžam netaps salīdzināts ne caur kaujamiem, ne caur ēdamiem upuriem.
15 And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel feared to declare the vision to Eli.
Un Samuēls gulēja līdz rītam, un tad viņš atvēra Tā Kunga nama durvis, bet Samuēls bijās šo parādīšanu Elum stāstīt.
16 And Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Here am I.
Tad Elus Samuēli aicināja un sacīja: Samuēl, mans dēls. Un tas atbildēja: redzi, še es esmu.
17 And he said, What is the word that he has spoken to thee? I pray thee, keep it not back from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou keep back anything from me of all the word that he spoke to thee.
Un viņš sacīja: kas tas par vārdu, ko Viņš uz tevi runājis? Neslēp jel to man; lai Dievs tev šā un tā dara, ja tu man vienu vārdu apslēpsi no visiem, ko Viņš uz tevi runājis.
18 And Samuel told him all the words, and kept nothing back from him. And he said, It is Jehovah: let him do what is good in his sight.
Tad Samuēls tam stāstīja visus tos vārdus un tam nekā neapslēpa. Un tas sacīja: Viņš ir Tas Kungs, lai Viņš dara, ko Viņš pats redz labu esam.
19 And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.
Un Samuēls uzauga, un Tas Kungs bija ar viņu, un Viņš nevienam no Saviem vārdiem nelika zemē krist.
20 And all Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, knew that Samuel was established a prophet of Jehovah.
Un viss Israēls no Dana līdz Bēršebai atzina, ka Samuēls bija Tā Kunga uzticīgais pravietis.
21 And Jehovah appeared again at Shiloh; for Jehovah revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of Jehovah.
Un Tas Kungs vēl parādījās Šīlo, jo Tas Kungs parādījās Samuēlim Šīlo caur Tā Kunga vārdu.
