1 Samuel 9
1 There was a man from Benjamin, a man of influence. His name was Kish son of Abiel son of Zeror son of Bekorath son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjamite.
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 He had a son named Saul, a handsome young man. There was no man among the people of Israel who was a more handsome person than he. From his shoulders upward he was taller 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 Now the donkeys of Kish, Saul's father, were lost. So Kish said to Saul his son, “Take one of the servants with you; arise and go look for the donkeys.”
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 So Saul passed through the hill country of Ephraim and went through the land of Shalishah, but they did not find them. Then they passed through the land of Shaalim, but they were not there. Then he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they did not find them.
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 When they came to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, “Come, let us go back, or my father may stop caring for the donkeys and begin to worry 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 But the servant said to him, “Listen, there is a man of God in this city. He is a man who is held in honor; everything that he says comes true. Let us go there; maybe he can tell us which way we should go on our journey.”
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 Then Saul said to his servant, “But if we go, what can we bring the man? For the bread in our sack is gone, and there is no present to bring to the man of God. What do we have?”
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 The servant answered Saul and said, “Here, I have with me one-fourth of a shekel of silver that I will give to the man of God, to tell us which way we should go.”
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 (Formerly in Israel, when a man went to seek the knowledge of God's will, he said, “Come, let us go to the seer.” For today's prophet was formerly 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 Then 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 hill to the city, they found young women coming out to draw water; Saul and his servant 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 They answered, and said, “He is; see, he is just ahead of you. Hurry up, for he is coming to the city today, because the people are sacrificing today at 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 you enter the city you will find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat. The people will not eat until he comes, because he will bless the sacrifice; afterwards those who are invited will eat. Now go up, for you will find him immediately.”
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 So they went up to the city. As they were entering the city, they saw Samuel coming out toward 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 the day before Saul came, Yahweh had revealed to Samuel:
Bet Tas Kungs vienu dienu papriekš, pirms ne kā Sauls nāca, Samuēla ausi bija atvēris sacīdams:
16 “Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you will anoint him to be prince over my people Israel. He will save my people from the hand of the Philistines. For I have looked on my people with pity because their call for help has come to 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 When Samuel saw Saul, Yahweh told him, “Here is the man I told you about! He is the one who will 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 Then Saul came close to Samuel in the gate and said, “Tell me where is the house of the seer?”
Un Sauls piegāja pie Samuēla pašos vārtos un sacīja: saki man, lūdzams, kur še ir tā redzētāja nams?
19 Samuel answered Saul and said, “I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for today you will eat with me. In the morning I will let you go, and I will tell you everything that is on your mind.
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 As for your donkeys that were lost three days ago, do not worry about them, for they have been found. Then on whom are all the desires of Israel set? Is it not on you and all your 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 Saul answered and said, “Am not I a Benjamite, from the smallest of the tribes of Israel? Is not my clan the least of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then have you spoken to me in this manner?”
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 So Samuel took Saul and his servant, brought them into the hall, and seated them at the head place of those who had been invited, who were about thirty people.
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 Samuel said to the cook, “Bring the portion which I gave to you, of which I said to you, 'Put it aside.'”
Tad Samuēls sacīja uz to pavāru: dod šurp to gabalu, ko es tev devu, sacīdams: paglabā to pie sevis.
24 So the cook took up the thigh and what was on it and set it before Saul. Then Samuel said, “See what has been kept is set before you. Eat it, because it has been kept for you until the appointed time, from the time when I said, 'I have invited 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 When they had come down from the high place into the city, Samuel spoke with Saul on the rooftop.
Un tie nogāja no tā kalna uz pilsētu; un viņš runāja ar Saulu uz jumta.
26 Then at the break of dawn, Samuel called to Saul on the rooftop and said, “Get up, so I can send you on your way.” So Saul got up, and both he and Samuel went out 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 to the outskirts of the city, Samuel said to Saul, “Tell the servant to go ahead of us”—and he went ahead—”but you must stay here awhile, that I may announce the message of God to you.”
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.
