1 Samuel 12
1 Samuel said to all Israel, "Look, I have listened to your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you.
Tad Samuēls sacīja uz visu Israēli: redzi, es jūsu balsij esmu paklausījis iekš visa, ko jūs man esat sacījuši, un esmu jums cēlis ķēniņu.
2 Now, look, the king walks before you; and I am old and gray-headed; and look, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my youth to this day.
Un nu redzi, te jūsu ķēniņš jūsu priekšā staigā, un es esmu vecs un sirms palicis, un mani dēli ir pie jums, un es esmu jūsu priekšā staigājis no savas jaunības līdz šai dienai.
3 Here I am. Testify against me before Jehovah, and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I taken a bribe, or a shoe? Testify against me, and I will restore it to you."
Redzi, še es esmu, atbildiet pret mani Tā Kunga priekšā un viņa svaidītā priekšā: kura vērsi es esmu ņēmis un kuram es ēzeli ņēmis? Kuram es varas darbu darījis, kuru es spaidījis un no kura rokas es dāvanas ņēmis, ka es savas acis tādēļ būtu aizdarījis? Tad es jums to atdošu.
4 They said, "You have not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither have you taken anything of any man's hand."
Un tie sacīja: tu mums netaisnību neesi darījis nedz mūs spaidījis, un nekā neesi ņēmis no neviena rokas.
5 He said to them, "Jehovah is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand." They said, "He is witness."
Tad viņš uz tiem sacīja: lai Tas Kungs ir liecinieks pret jums, un Viņa svaidītais lai ir šodien liecinieks, ka jūs manā rokā nekā neesat atraduši. Un tie sacīja: lai ir liecinieks.
6 Samuel said to the people, "It is Jehovah who appointed Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of Egypt.
Un Samuēls sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: (lai ir liecinieks) Tas Kungs, kas Mozu un Āronu ir cēlis un kas jūsu tēvus no Ēģiptes zemes izvedis.
7 Now therefore stand still, that I may plead with you before Jehovah concerning all the righteous acts of Jehovah, which he did to you and to your fathers.
Un nu stājaties šeitan, ka es ar jums tiesājos Tā Kunga priekšā par visām Tā Kunga labdarīšanām, ko Viņš jums un jūsu tēviem darījis.
8 "When Jacob went into Egypt, and the Egyptians oppressed them, and your fathers cried to Jehovah, then Jehovah sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt, and made them to dwell in this place.
Kad Jēkabs Ēģiptes zemē bija nācis, un jūsu tēvi uz To Kungu brēca, tad Tas Kungs sūtīja Mozu un Āronu, un tie vadīja jūsu tēvus no Ēģiptes un lika tiem šai vietā dzīvot.
9 "But they forgot Jehovah their God; and he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the army of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab; and they fought against them.
Bet tie aizmirsa To Kungu, savu Dievu; tāpēc Viņš tos pārdeva Siserus, Hacoras kara kunga, rokā un Fīlistu rokā un Moaba ķēniņa rokā, un šie karoja pret viņiem.
10 And they cried to Jehovah, and they said, 'We have sinned, because we have forsaken Jehovah, and have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve you.'
Tad tie brēca uz To Kungu un sacīja: mēs esam grēkojuši, jo mēs To Kungu esam atstājuši un kalpojuši Baālam un Astartēm. Un nu izpestī mūs no mūsu ienaidnieku rokas, tad mēs Tev gribam kalpot.
11 Jehovah sent Jerubbaal, and Barak, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side; and you lived in safety.
Tad Tas Kungs sūtīja Jerub-Baālu un Bedanu un Jeftu un Samuēli, un jūs izglāba no jūsu ienaidnieku rokas visapkārt, tā ka jūs mierā dzīvojat.
12 "When you saw that Nahash the king of the people of Ammon came against you, you said to me, 'No, but a king shall reign over us;' when Jehovah your God was your king.
Kad nu jūs redzējāt, ka Naās, Amona bērnu ķēniņš, pret jums nāca, tad jūs uz mani sacījāt: nē, bet ķēniņam būs pār mums valdīt! Un tomēr Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, bija jūsu ķēniņš.
13 Now therefore see the king whom you have chosen, and whom you have asked for: and look, Jehovah has set a king over you.
Un nu redzi, te ir tas ķēniņš, ko jūs esat izvēlējušies, ko jūs esat prasījuši, un redzi, Tas Kungs ir cēlis ķēniņu pār jums.
14 If you will fear Jehovah, and serve him, and listen to his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of Jehovah, and both you and also the king who reigns over you are followers of Jehovah your God, then he will rescue you.
Ja tik jūs To Kungu bīsities un Viņam kalposiet un Viņa balsij klausīsiet un Tā Kunga mutei pretī neturēsities un pakaļ staigāsiet Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, gan jūs, gan tas ķēniņš, kas pār jums valda.
15 But if you will not listen to the voice of Jehovah, but rebel against the commandment of Jehovah, then the hand of Jehovah will be against you, and against your king to destroy you.
Bet ja jūs Tā Kunga balsij neklausīsiet un Tā Kunga mutei pretī turēsities, tad Tā Kunga roka būs pret jums, kā pret jūsu tēviem.
16 "Now therefore stand still and see this great thing, which Jehovah will do before your eyes.
Nostājaties tagad šeitan un redziet šo lielo lietu, ko Tas Kungs priekš jūsu acīm darīs.
17 Isn't it wheat harvest today? I will call to Jehovah, that he may send thunder and rain; and you shall know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of Jehovah, in asking for a king."
Vai tagad nav kviešu pļaujamais laiks? Es piesaukšu To Kungu, un tas dos pērkonus un lietu, lai jūs atzīstat un redzat, ka tas ļaunums liels, ko jūs esat darījuši priekš Tā Kunga acīm, ķēniņu sev lūgdami.
18 So Samuel called to Jehovah; and Jehovah sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared Jehovah and Samuel.
Kad nu Samuēls To Kungu piesauca, tad Tas Kungs deva pērkonus un lietu tai pašā dienā; un visi ļaudis To Kungu un Samuēli ļoti bijās.
19 All the people said to Samuel, "Pray for your servants to Jehovah your God, that we not die; for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask us a king."
Un visi ļaudis sacīja uz Samuēli: lūdz par saviem kalpiem To Kungu, savu Dievu, ka mēs nemirstam. Pie visiem saviem grēkiem mēs arī to grēku esam darījuši, ka sev ķēniņu esam lūguši.
20 Samuel said to the people, "Do not be afraid. You have indeed done all this evil; yet do not turn aside from following Jehovah, but serve Jehovah with all your heart.
Tad Samuēls sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: nebīstaties! Jūs gan visu šo grēku esat darījuši, tomēr neatkāpjaties no Tā Kunga, bet kalpojiet Tam Kungam ar visu savu sirdi.
21 Do not turn aside to go after vain things which can't profit nor deliver, for they are vain.
Un neatkāpjaties, ka nedzenaties nelietībai pakaļ, tiem, kas nedz palīdz nedz izglābj jo tie ir nelietība.
22 For Jehovah will not forsake his people for his great name's sake, because it has pleased Jehovah to make you a people to himself.
Jo Tas Kungs neatstums Savus ļaudis Sava lielā Vārda dēļ; jo Tam Kungam ir paticis jūs darīt Sev par ļaudīm.
23 Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Jehovah in ceasing to pray for you: but I will instruct you in the good and the right way.
Arī es ne mūžam tā pret To Kungu neapgrēkošos, ka es mitētos par jums lūgt un jums mācīt to labo un taisno ceļu.
24 Only fear Jehovah, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things he has done for you.
Bīstaties tikai To Kungu un kalpojiet Viņam uzticīgi no visas savas sirds, jo jūs esat redzējuši, kādas lielas lietas Viņš pie jums ir darījis.
25 But if you shall still do wickedly, you shall be swept away, both you and your king."
Bet ja jūs ļaunumu darīsiet, tad gan jūs, gan jūsu ķēniņš iesiet bojā.
