< 1 Samuel 18 >
1 It happened, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as 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 Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
Un Sauls viņu ņēma tai pašā dienā un tam neļāva tēva namā pāriet.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
Un Jonatāns derēja derību ar Dāvidu, tāpēc ka viņš to mīlēja kā savu dvēseli.
4 Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him, and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and 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 Then Saul set him over the men of war, and David went out, succeeding wherever Saul sent him. And it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
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 It happened as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.
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 The women sang one to another as they played, and said, "Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands."
Un tās sievas diedamas dziedāja un sacīja: Sauls tūkstošus nokāvis, bet Dāvids desmit tūkstošus.
8 Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him; and he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?"
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 Saul viewed David with suspicion from that day and forward.
Un Sauls skaudīgi skatījās uz Dāvidu no tās dienas un joprojām.
10 It happened on the next day, that a harmful spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear 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 Saul threw the spear; for he said, "I will pin David even to the wall." David escaped from his presence twice.
Un Sauls meta to šķēpu un domāja: es Dāvidu pie sienas noduršu. Bet Dāvids novērsās divreiz no viņa.
12 Saul was afraid of David, because YHWH was with him, and had departed from Saul.
Un Sauls bijās no Dāvida, jo Tas Kungs bija ar viņu un bija no Saula atstājies.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
Un Sauls viņu atstādināja no sevis un to darīja par virsnieku pār tūkstoti; un tas izgāja un iegāja ļaužu priekšā.
14 David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and YHWH was with him.
Un Dāvids turējās gudri uz visiem saviem ceļiem, un Tas Kungs bija ar viņu.
15 When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
Kad nu Sauls redzēja, ka tas ļoti gudri turējās, tad tas no viņa bijās.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
Bet viss Israēls un Jūda mīlēja Dāvidu, jo tas izgāja un iegāja viņu priekšā.
17 Saul said to David, "Look, my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight YHWH's battles." For Saul said, "Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on 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 David said to Saul, "Who am I, and what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to 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 But it happened at the time when Merob, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, that 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 Mikal, Saul's daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
Bet Mikale, Saula meita, mīlēja Dāvidu. Kad tas Saulam tapa teikts, tad tas viņam bija pa prātam.
21 And Saul thought, "I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David, "You shall this day be my son-in-law a second time."
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 Then Saul commanded his servants, "Talk with David secretly, and say, 'Look, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. So now therefore be the king's son-in-law.'"
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 Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, "Does it seems to you a little thing to be the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and insignificant?"
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 The servants of Saul told him, saying, "David spoke like this."
Un Saula kalpi viņam to stāstīja sacīdami: tā un tā Dāvids ir runājis.
25 Saul said, "You shall tell David, 'The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies.'" Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand 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 When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. The days were not expired;
Tad viņa kalpi Dāvidam šos vārdus sacīja, un Dāvidam labi patika, ķēniņam palikt par znotu.
27 and David arose and went, he and his men, and killed of the Philistines one hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Mikal his daughter 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 When Saul saw and knew that YHWH was with David, and that all Israel loved him,
Un Sauls redzēja un nomanīja, ka Tas Kungs bija ar Dāvidu, un Mikale, Saula meita, viņu mīlēja.
29 then he was even more afraid of David. So Saul was David's enemy continually.
Tad Sauls no Dāvida vēl vairāk bijās un Sauls ienīdēja Dāvidu, kamēr viņš dzīvoja.
30 Then the leaders of the Philistines went forth: and it happened, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly esteemed.
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.
