1 Samuel 11
1 About a month later, King Nahash of Ammon [led his army across the Jordan River, and they] surrounded Jabesh [city] in [the] Gilead [region]. But all the men of Jabesh [went and] said to Nahash, “Make an agreement/treaty with us [not to kill us], and then we will let you rule us.”
Tad Naās, tas Amonietis, cēlās un apmeta lēģeri pret Jabesu Gileādā, un visi Jabesas vīri sacīja uz Naāsu: deri derību ar mums, tad mēs tev gribam kalpot.
2 Nahash replied, “I will do that if you do one thing. Allow us to gouge out all the right eyes of your people. By doing that we will cause the people [in other countries] to despise all you Israeli people.”
Tad Naās, tas Amonietis, uz tiem sacīja: tā es ar jums gribu derēt derību, ka es jums visiem labo aci izduru un ka es visu Israēli tā lieku kaunā.
3 The leaders of Jabesh replied, “Do not attack us for the next seven days. During that time, we will send messengers throughout Israel [to tell them what you are demanding]. If no one will help us, then we will (surrender to you/allow you to do to us whatever you want).”
Tad Jabesas vecaji uz viņu sacīja: dod mums septiņas dienas vaļu, ka mēs vēstnešus sūtam pa visām Israēla robežām; ja tad nav, kas mūs izpestī, tad mēs pie tevis gribam iziet.
4 [Being very confident that his army was very superior, Nahash agreed. So the leaders of Jabesh sent messengers throughout Israel]. When the messengers came to Gibeah, which was [the city] where Saul lived, and they told the people there about the situation, everyone started to cry.
Kad nu tie vēstneši nāca uz Ģibeju, Saula pilsētu, un šos vārdus runāja priekš ļaužu ausīm, tad visi ļaudis pacēla savu balsi un raudāja.
5 At that time, Saul was plowing in the field. When he returned home, he asked, “Why are all the people [crying]?” So they told him what the messengers from Jabesh had reported.
Un redzi, Sauls ar vēršiem nāca no lauka. Un Sauls sacīja: kas tiem ļaudīm kait, ka tie raud? Tad tie viņam stāstīja Jabesas vīru vārdus.
6 Then God’s Spirit came powerfully upon Saul, and he became very angry [because of what Nahash wanted to do].
Un Dieva Gars nāca pār Saulu, kad tas šos vārdus dzirdēja, un viņa dusmas ļoti iedegās.
7 He took two of his oxen [and killed them] and cut them into pieces. Then he sent messengers [carrying those pieces] throughout Israel to tell people this message: “Saul says that [he cut this ox in pieces, and that he] will do the same thing to the oxen of anyone who refuses to come with him and Samuel to fight [the army from Ammon]!” Then Yahweh caused all the people of Israel to be afraid of what Saul might do to them (OR, of what Yahweh might do to them) [if they did not go and help Saul]. So the men all gathered together.
Un viņš ņēma jūgu vēršu un tos sakapāja gabalos un tos sūtīja pa visām Israēla robežām caur vēstnešu rokām, sacīdams: kas neizies Saulam pakaļ un Samuēlim pakaļ, tā vēršiem tāpat darīs. Tad Tā Kunga bijāšana krita uz tiem ļaudīm, un tie izgāja kā viens vienīgs vīrs.
8 When Saul gave them all weapons at Bezek, he saw that there were 300,000 Israeli men there, as well as 30,000 men from the tribe of Judah.
Un viņš tos skaitīja Bazekā, un Israēla bērnu bija trīssimt tūkstoši un Jūda vīru bija trīsdesmit tūkstoši.
9 So Saul sent messengers back to the people at Jabesh to tell them, “We will rescue/save you by noontime tomorrow.” When the people of Jabesh heard that message, they were very joyful/happy.
Tad tie sacīja uz tiem vēstnešiem, kas bija nākuši: tā sakāt Jabesas vīriem Gileādā: rītu jums būs glābšana, kad saule spiež. Kad nu tie vēstneši nāca un Jabesas vīriem to stāstīja, tad tie priecājās.
10 Then the men of Jabesh told [Nahash], “Tomorrow we will surrender to you, and then you can do to us whatever you want to.”
Un Jabesas vīri sacīja: rīt mēs pie jums iesim ārā, lai jūs mums dariet, tā kā jums patīk.
11 But before the sun rose the next morning, Saul [and his army arrived. He] divided them into three groups. They rushed into the camp of the soldiers from Ammon, and attacked them. By noontime they had killed most of them, and those who were not killed scattered. Each of them who ran away ran away alone.
Un otrā rītā Sauls tos ļaudis dalīja trijos pulkos, un tie uzbruka lēģerim gaismai austot un kāva Amoniešus, kamēr diena iekarsa; bet tie, kas atlika, tā tapa izklīdināti, ka viņu starpā ne divi nepalika kopā.
12 Then the people [of Jabesh] said to Samuel, “Where are those men who said that they did not want Saul to be our king? Bring them here, and we will kill them!”
Tad tie ļaudis sacīja uz Samuēli: kas tie tādi, kas sacīja: vai lai Sauls pār mums valda? Dodiet šurp tos vīrus, lai tos nokaujam.
13 But Saul replied, “[No], we are not going to execute anyone today, because this is the day that Yahweh has saved us Israeli people. [It is a day to rejoice, not to kill anyone].”
Bet Sauls sacīja: šai dienā nevienam nebūs tapt nokautam, jo Tas Kungs šodien pestīšanu ir devis iekš Israēla.
14 Then Samuel said to the people, “Let’s all go to Gilgal, and there we will again proclaim [that Saul is] our king.”
Un Samuēls sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: nāciet, iesim uz Gilgalu un atjaunosim tur ķēniņa valstību.
15 So they went to Gilgal. There, knowing that Yahweh was watching, they proclaimed that Saul was their king. Then they offered sacrifices to enable them to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. And Saul and all the other Israeli people were very happy.
Un visi ļaudis gāja uz Gilgalu un cēla tur Saulu par ķēniņu Tā Kunga priekšā Gilgalā, un upurēja tur pateicības upurus Tā Kunga priekšā. Un Sauls tur ļoti priecājās ar visiem Israēla vīriem.
