Pirmā Samuela 10

1 Tad Samuēls ņēma eļļas trauciņu un to izlēja uz viņa galvu un to skūpstīja un sacīja: vai Tas Kungs tevi nav svaidījis par valdnieku pār Savu mantību?

Then Samuel took the bottle of oil, and put the oil on his head and gave him a kiss and said, Is not the Lord with the holy oil making you ruler over Israel, his people? and you will have authority over the people of the Lord, and you will make them safe from the hands of their attackers round about them, and this will be the sign for you:

2 Kad tu šodien no manis aiziesi, tad tu atradīsi divus vīrus pie Rahēles kapa, pie Benjamina robežām Celcā, tie uz tevi sacīs: tās ēzeļu mātes ir atrastas, ko tu esi izgājis meklēt, un redzi, tavs tēvs no tām ēzeļu mātēm ir mitējies un bēdājās jūsu pēc, sacīdams: ko lai es daru sava dēla pēc.

When you have gone away from me today, you will see two men by the resting-place of Rachel's body, in the land of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, The asses which you went in search of have come back, and now your father, caring no longer for the asses, is troubled about you, saying, What am I to do about my son?

3 Un no turienes vēl tālāki gājis, tu nāksi pie Tābor ozola, tur tevi sastaps trīs vīri, kas uz Bēteli iet pie Dieva; viens nesīs trīs kazlēnus un otrs nesīs trīs maizes klaipus un trešais nesīs trauku ar vīnu.

Then you are to go on from there, and when you come to the oak-tree of Tabor, you will see three men going up to God to Beth-el, one having with him three young goats and another three cakes of bread and another a skin full of wine:

4 Un tie tevi apsveicinās laipnīgi un tev dos divas maizes; tās ņem no viņu rokām.

They will say, Peace be with you, and will give you two cakes of bread, which you are to take from them.

5 Pēc tam tu nāksi uz to Dieva pakalnu, kur Fīlistu lēģeri stāv, un kad tu pilsētā nāksi, tad tu sastapsi vienu praviešu pulku no kalna nākam, un viņu priekšā stīgas un bungas un stabules un kokles, un tie runās praviešu vārdus.

After that you will come to Gibeah, the hill of God, where an armed force of the Philistines is stationed: and when you come to the town, you will see a band of prophets coming down from the high place with instruments of music before them; and they will be acting like prophets:

6 Un Tā Kunga Gars uz tevi nāks, ka tu līdz ar tiem praviešu vārdus runāsi, un tad tu tapsi pārvērsts par citu vīru.

And the spirit of the Lord will come on you with power, and you will be acting like a prophet with them, and will be changed into another man.

7 Kad nu šās zīmes tev notiks, tad dari, kā tava roka māk, jo Dievs ir ar tevi.

And when these signs come to you, see that you take the chance which is offered you; for God is with you.

8 Bet tev būs noiet manā priekšā uz Gilgalu, un redzi, es nonākšu pie tevis, dedzināmos upurus upurēt un pateicības upurus upurēt. Septiņas dienas tev tur būs gaidīt, tiekams es pie tevis nāku un tev saku, kas tev jādara.

Then you are to go down before me to Gilgal, where I will come to you, for the offering of burned offerings and peace-offerings: go on waiting there for seven days till I come to you and make clear to you what you have to do.

9 Un notikās, kad viņš savu muguru grieza, no Samuēla aiziet, tad Dievs viņam deva citu sirdi, un visas tās zīmes notika tai pašā dienā.

And it came about, that when he went away from Samuel, God gave him a changed heart: and all those signs took place that day.

10 Tiem nu tur pie tā pakalna nākot, redzi, tad praviešu pulks viņu sastapa, un Tā Kunga Gars nāca pār viņu, un viņš runāja praviešu vārdus viņu starpā.

And when they came to Gibeah, a band of prophets came face to face with him; and the spirit of God came on him with power and he took his place among them as a prophet.

11 Un visi, kas viņu citkārt bija pazinuši, kad tie to redzēja ar tiem praviešiem praviešu vārdus runājam, tad tie ļaudis cits uz citu sacīja: kas tam Ķisa dēlam noticis? Vai Sauls arīdzan starp praviešiem?

Now when Saul's old friends saw him among the band of prophets, the people said to one another, What has come to Saul, the son of Kish? Is even Saul among the prophets?

12 Tad viens vīrs no turienes atbildēja un sacīja: kas tad ir šo tēvs? Tādēļ tas sakāms vārds ir cēlies: Vai Sauls arīdzan starp praviešiem?

And one of the people of that place said in answer, And who is their father? So it became a common saying, Is even Saul among the prophets?

13 Un viņš beidza praviešu vārdus runāt, un nāca uz to kalnu.

Then going away from the prophets, he came to the house.

14 Tad Saula tēva brālis sacīja uz viņu un uz viņa puisi: kur bijāt gājuši? Viņš sacīja: tās ēzeļu mātes meklēt, un kad mēs redzējām, ka nav, tad mēs nācām pie Samuēla.

And Saul's father's brother said to him and his servant, Where have you been? And he said, Searching for the asses: and when we saw no sign of them, we came to Samuel.

15 Tad Saula tēva brālis sacīja: saki man jel, ko jums Samuēls ir teicis?

Then he said, And what did Samuel say to you?

16 Un Sauls sacīja uz savu tēva brāli: viņš mums patiesi ir sacījis, tās ēzeļu mātes esam atrastas; bet par to ķēniņa godu, par ko Samuēls bija runājis, viņš tam nekā nesacīja. -

And Saul, answering him, said, He gave us word that the asses had come back. But he said nothing to him of Samuel's words about the kingdom.

17 Tad Samuēls tos ļaudis sasauca Tā Kunga priekšā uz Micpu.

Then Samuel sent for the people to come together before the Lord at Mizpah;

18 Un viņš sacīja uz Israēla bērniem: tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: Es Israēli esmu izvedis no ēģiptiešu rokas un no visu ķēniņu rokas, kas jūs spaidīja;

And he said to the children of Israel, The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, I took Israel out of Egypt, and made you free from the hands of the Egyptians and from all the kingdoms which kept you down:

19 Bet jūs šodien savu Dievu esat atmetuši, kas jūs no visām jūsu bēdām un izbailēm ir atpestījis, un uz Viņu esat sacījuši: “Cel pār mums ķēniņu.” Nu tad, stājaties Tā Kunga priekšā pēc savām ciltīm un pēc saviem tūkstošiem.

But today you are turned away from your God, who himself has been your saviour from all your troubles and sorrows; and you have said to him, Put a king over us. So now, take your places before the Lord by your tribes and by your thousands.

20 Kad nu Samuēls visām Israēla ciltīm bija licis klātu nākt, tad Benjamina cilts tapa iezīmēta.

So Samuel made all the tribes of Israel come near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.

21 Un kad viņš Benjamina ciltij pēc viņas radiem lika klātu nākt, tad Matra radi tapa iezīmēti, un Sauls, Ķisa dēls, tapa iezīmēts. Un tie to meklēja, bet neatrada.

Then he made the tribe of Benjamin come near by families, and the family of the Matrites was taken: and from them, Saul, the son of Kish, was taken: but when they went in search of him he was nowhere to be seen.

22 Tad tie To Kungu vaicāja: vai vēl kāds še atnācis? Tad Tas Kungs sacīja: redzi, viņš starp tiem traukiem ir paslēpies.

So they put another question to the Lord, Is the man present here? And the answer of the Lord was, He is keeping himself from view among the goods.

23 Tad tie steidzās un viņu no turienes atveda, un viņš stājās ļaužu vidū, un viņš bija veselu galvu lielāks nekā visi ļaudis.

So they went quickly and made him come out; and when he took his place among the people, he was taller by a head than any of the people.

24 Tad Samuēls sacīja uz visiem ļaudīm: vai jūs redzat, kādu Tas Kungs ir izredzējis? Jo neviens nav tāds, kā viņš, starp visiem ļaudīm. Tad visi ļaudis gavilēja un sacīja: lai dzīvo ķēniņš!

And Samuel said to all the people, Do you see the man of the Lord's selection, how there is no other like him among all the people? And all the people with loud cries said, Long life to the king!

25 Tad Samuēls uz tiem ļaudīm teica to ķēniņa tiesu un to sarakstīja grāmatā un nolika Tā Kunga priekšā. Un Samuēls atlaida visus ļaudis, ikvienu uz viņa mājām.

Then Samuel gave the people the laws of the kingdom, writing them in a book which he put in a safe place before the Lord. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.

26 Un Sauls gāja arīdzan mājās uz Ģibeju, un viņam gāja līdz pulks vīru, kam Dievs sirdi bija kustinājis.

And Saul went to Gibeah, to his house; and with him went the men of war whose hearts had been touched by God.

27 Bet kādi nelieši sacīja: ko šis mums palīdzēs? Un tie viņu nicināja un viņam nenesa dāvanas. Bet viņš nelikās to dzirdējis.

But certain good-for-nothing persons said, How is this man to be our saviour? And having no respect for him, they gave him no offering.
