1 Samuel 9
1 And there was a man of Benjamin whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjaminite, a mighty man of wealth.
Un vīrs bija no Benjamina, Ķis vārdā, tas bija Abiēļa dēls, tas Cerora, tas Bekora, tas Apija, tas viena Benjaminieša dēls. Šis bija krietns, turīgs vīrs.
2 And he had a son whose name was Saul, choice and comely; and there was not among the children of Israel a comelier person than he; from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.
Un viņam bija dēls, Sauls vārdā, jauns un skaists, un tāda skaista vīra nebija starp Israēla bērniem kā viņš, veselu galvu lielāks nekā visi citi ļaudis.
3 And the asses of Kish Saul's father were lost; and Kish said to Saul his son, Take, I pray, one of the young men with thee, and arise, go seek the asses.
Un Saula tēvam Ķisam ēzeļu mātes bija zudušas, un Ķis sacīja uz savu dēlu Saulu: ņem jel vienu no puišiem līdzi, un celies, ej meklēt tās ēzeļu mātes.
4 And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalishah, but they found [them] not; and they passed through the land of Shaalim, and they were not there; and they passed through the land of Benjamin, and they found [them] not.
Tad viņš pārstaigāja Efraīma kalnus un gāja caur Zalisa zemi, un tās neatrada; un tie gāja caur Zaālim zemi, un arī tur tās nebija; un tie gāja caur Jemiņa zemi un tās neatrada.
5 They had come to the land of Zuph when Saul said to his servant that was with him, Come and let us return; lest my father give up the asses, and be anxious about us.
Tad tie nāca uz Cuv zemi, un Sauls sacīja uz savu puisi, kas pie viņa bija: nāc, iesim atpakaļ, ka mans tēvs no tām ēzeļu mātēm mitēdamies nesāk mūsu pēc bēdāties.
6 And he said to him, Behold now, a man of God is in this city, and the man is held in honour; all that he says comes surely to pass. Let us now go thither: perhaps he will shew us the way that we should go.
Bet šis uz to sacīja: redzi jel, šinī pilsētā ir viens Dieva vīrs, un tas vīrs stāv godā; viss ko viņš runā, tas tiešām notiek; ejam nu uz turieni, varbūt viņš mums teiks mūsu ceļu, kur mums jāiet.
7 And Saul said to his servant, But if we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and we have no present to give to the man of God: what have we?
Tad Sauls sacīja uz savu puisi: bet redzi, kad iesim, ko mēs tam vīram nesīsim? Jo maizes vairs nav mūsu kulītēs, un dāvanu mums nav, tam Dieva vīram ko nest, - kas tad mums ir?
8 And the servant answered Saul again and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver; that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way.
Un tas puisis Saulam atkal atbildēja un sacīja: redzi, manā rokā ir sudraba sēķeļa ceturtdaļa, to es došu tam Dieva vīram, lai viņš mums teic mūsu ceļu.
9 (In former time in Israel, when a man went to ask counsel of God, he said, Come and let us go to the seer; for he that is now called a Prophet was in former time called a Seer.)
(Citkārt tā sacīja iekš Israēla, kad kas gāja Dievu vaicāt: nāciet, iesim pie tā redzētāja; jo ko šodien sauc par pravieti, to citkārt sauca par redzētāju.)
10 And Saul said to his servant, Well said: come, let us go. So they went to the city where the man of God was.
Tad Sauls sacīja uz savu puisi: tavs vārds ir labs, nāc, iesim! Un tie gāja uz to pilsētu, kur tas Dieva vīrs bija.
11 As they went up the ascent to the city, they met maidens going forth to draw water; and they said to them, Is the seer here?
Šiem nu augšām ejot pa pilsētas pakalnu sastapa meitas, kas iznāca ūdeni smelt, un šie uz tām sacīja: vai tas redzētājs šeitan?
12 And they answered them and said, He is; behold, he is before thee: make haste now, for he came to-day to the city; for the people have a sacrifice to-day in the high place.
Tās viņiem atbildēja un sacīja: redzi, še pat viņš ir, steidzies tad, jo viņš šodien ir nācis pilsētā, tāpēc ka šodien tiem ļaudīm upuris uz kalna.
13 As soon as ye come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat; for the people eat not until he has come, because he blesses the sacrifice; afterwards they eat that are invited. And now go up; for this very day shall ye find him.
Kā nāksiet pilsētā, tad jūs viņu atradīsiet, pirms ne kā viņš iet uz kalnu ēst. Jo tie ļaudis neēdīs, kamēr viņš nāks, jo viņš svētī to upuri, pēc tam ēd tie aicinātie; tāpēc ejat nu, jo šodien jūs tiksiet pie viņa.
14 And they went up into the city. As they were coming into the midst of the city, behold, Samuel was coming out towards them, to go up to the high place.
Un tā tie gāja pilsētā; un pilsētā ienākot, redzi, Samuēls tiem izgāja pretī, gribēdams iet uz kalnu.
15 Now Jehovah had apprised Samuel one day before Saul came, saying,
Bet Tas Kungs vienu dienu papriekš, pirms ne kā Sauls nāca, Samuēla ausi bija atvēris sacīdams:
16 To-morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him prince over my people Israel; and he will save my people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me.
Rīt ap šo laiku Es pie tevis sūtīšu vienu vīru no Benjamina zemes; to tev būs svaidīt par valdītāju Maniem Israēla ļaudīm, jo viņš Manus ļaudis izpestīs no Fīlistu rokas. Jo Es esmu uzlūkojis Savus ļaudis, tāpēc ka viņu brēkšana pie Manis nākusi.
17 And as Samuel saw Saul, Jehovah answered him, Behold the man of whom I spoke to thee! this man shall rule over my people.
Kad nu Samuēls Saulu redzēja, tad Tas Kungs tam atbildēja: redzi, tas ir tas vīrs, par ko Es tev sacīju: šim būs valdīt pār Maniem ļaudīm.
18 And Saul drew near to Samuel in the midst of the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house is.
Un Sauls piegāja pie Samuēla pašos vārtos un sacīja: saki man, lūdzams, kur še ir tā redzētāja nams?
19 And Samuel answered Saul and said, I am the seer: go up before me to the high place, and ye shall eat with me to-day; and to-morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thy heart.
Tad Samuēls Saulam atbildēja un sacīja: es esmu tas redzētājs, ej manā priekšā uz kalnu, un ēdat šodien ar mani, tad es tevi rīt agri atlaidīšu, un visu, kas tavā sirdī, to es tev sacīšu.
20 And as for the asses that thou didst lose three days ago, set not thy heart on them; for they are found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel [set]? Is it not on thee, and on all thy father's house?
Un par tām ēzeļu mātēm, kas tev aizvakar zudušas, par tām nebēdājies vairs, jo tās ir atrastas. Un kam tad būs nu viss Israēla labums? Vai tas nebūs tev un visam tava tēva namam?
21 And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjaminite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? and why dost thou speak such words to me?
Tad Sauls atbildēja un sacīja: vai es neesmu viens Benjaminietis, no tās vismazākās Israēla cilts, un mans nams ir tas mazākais no visiem Benjamina cilts namiem? Kāpēc tad tu uz mani saki tādu vārdu?
22 And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the chamber, and gave them a place at the head of them that were invited; and they were about thirty persons.
Tad Samuēls ņēma Saulu un viņa puisi un tos ieveda ēdamā istabā un tos sēdināja visaugstākā vietā pie tiem aicinātiem, - to bija pie trīsdesmit vīru.
23 And Samuel said to the cook, Bring the portion that I gave thee, of which I said to thee, Set it by thee.
Tad Samuēls sacīja uz to pavāru: dod šurp to gabalu, ko es tev devu, sacīdams: paglabā to pie sevis.
24 And the cook took up the shoulder, and what was on it, and set [it] before Saul. And he said, Behold that which has been reserved! set it before thee, eat; for against the set time has it been kept for thee, since I said, I will invite the people. So Saul ate with Samuel that day.
Tad tas pavārs atnesa vienu pleci ar visu to, kas klāt bija, un to cēla Saulam priekšā. Un viņš sacīja: redzi, tev ir priekšā celts, kas bija atlicināts, ēd, jo tas uz šo nolikto laiku priekš tevis ir paglabāts, kad es sacīju: es tos ļaudis esmu aicinājis. Tā Sauls ēda ar Samuēli tai dienā.
25 And they came down from the high place into the city, and he spoke with Saul upon the roof.
Un tie nogāja no tā kalna uz pilsētu; un viņš runāja ar Saulu uz jumta.
26 And they arose early; and when it was about the dawning of the day, Samuel called to Saul on the roof, saying, Arise, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, into the street.
Un tie cēlās agri, un kad gaisma metās, tad Samuēls sauca Saulam uz jumta sacīdams: celies, ka es tevi pavadu. Tad Sauls cēlās, un tie abi, viņš un Samuēls, izgāja ārā.
27 As they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Tell the servant to pass on before us (and he passed on), but stand thou still now, that I may cause thee to hear the word of God.
Un kad tie līdz pilsētas galam bija nogājuši, tad Samuēls sacīja uz Saulu: saki tam puisim, lai viņš mums iet papriekš, (tad tas nogāja), bet tu palieci nu stāvot, jo es tev likšu Dieva vārdu dzirdēt.
