< 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 a small jar of olive oil and poured [some of] it on Saul’s head. Then he kissed Saul [on the cheek], and told him, “I am doing this because Yahweh has chosen you to be the leader of his Israeli people.
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.
[And this will prove it to you]: When you leave me today, when you arrive near Rachel’s tomb at Zelzah, in the area where the descendants of Benjamin live, you will meet two men. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys have been found, but now your father is worrying about you, and he is asking people, “Have you seen 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.
When you arrive at the [large] oak tree at Tabor [town], you will see three men coming toward you. They will be on their way to [worship] God at Bethel [town]. One of them will be leading three young goats, one will be carrying three loaves of bread, and one will be carrying a container of wine.
4 Un tie tevi apsveicinās laipnīgi un tev dos divas maizes; tās ņem no viņu rokām.
They will greet you, and they will offer you two of the loaves of bread. Accept 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.
When you arrive at the hill [where people worship] God near Gibeah [town], where there is the camp where the Philistine soldiers stay, you will meet a group of prophets who will be coming down from the altar on top of the hill. There will be people in front of them who will be playing [various musical instruments]: a harp, a tambourine, a flute, and a lyre. And all of them will be speaking messages that come directly from God.
6 Un Tā Kunga Gars uz tevi nāks, ka tu līdz ar tiem praviešu vārdus runāsi, un tad tu tapsi pārvērsts par citu vīru.
At that time the Spirit of Yahweh will come upon you, and you also will speak messages that come directly from God. (You will be changed/The Spirit of Yahweh will change you), so that you will become like a different person.
7 Kad nu šās zīmes tev notiks, tad dari, kā tava roka māk, jo Dievs ir ar tevi.
After those things occur, do whatever you think is right to do, and God will (be with/help) 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 go ahead of me, down to Gilgal [city], and wait for me there, for seven days. Then I will join you there, to burn sacrifices and offer other sacrifices to enable you to maintain fellowship with God. When I arrive there, I will tell you what [other] things you should 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.
As Saul started to leave there, God changed Saul’s inner being. And all the things that Samuel had predicted happened on 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.
When Saul and his servant arrived at Gibeah, they saw some prophets who were [speaking messages that came directly from God. As the prophets were] approaching Saul and his servant, God’s Spirit came upon Saul powerfully, and he also began to speak messages from God.
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?
When people who had known Saul previously heard him speaking messages from God as the prophets were doing, they said to each other, “What has happened to this son of Kish? Is he now really one of the (prophets/men who speak messages from God)?”
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?
One of the men who lived there replied, “[Saul cannot be a prophet, because] all prophets receive their power to speak messages from God, not from their parents.” And that is why, [when people hear about a report of someone prophesying, they think about what happened to Saul and] say, “[We are surprised about that person becoming a prophet, like] we were surprised to hear that Saul had really become one of the prophets.”
13 Un viņš beidza praviešu vārdus runāt, un nāca uz to kalnu.
When Saul finished speaking the messages that God gave him, he went to the place where the people offered sacrifices.
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.
Later, Saul’s uncle [saw him there, and] asked him, “Where did you go?” Saul replied, “We went to look for the donkeys. When we could not find them, we came here to ask Samuel [if he could tell us where they were].”
15 Tad Saula tēva brālis sacīja: saki man jel, ko jums Samuēls ir teicis?
Saul’s uncle replied, “What did Samuel tell 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. -
Saul replied, “He assured us that the donkeys had been found.” But he did not tell his uncle what Samuel had said about him becoming the king [of Israel].
17 Tad Samuēls tos ļaudis sasauca Tā Kunga priekšā uz Micpu.
[Later] Samuel summoned the people of Israel to gather at Mizpah to [hear a message from] Yahweh.
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;
After they arrived, he said to them, “This is what Yahweh, the God we Israeli people [worship], says: I brought you Israeli people out of Egypt. I rescued your [ancestors] from the power of the rulers of Egypt and from all the other kings who oppressed them.
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.
I am the one who saves you from all your troubles and difficulties. But today you have rejected me, your God, and you have said, ‘We don’t care! Give us a king!’ So [I will do what you want]. Now have [representatives of] your tribes and [of] your clans stand here in the presence of Yahweh.’”
20 Kad nu Samuēls visām Israēla ciltīm bija licis klātu nākt, tad Benjamina cilts tapa iezīmēta.
When those representatives came near to Samuel, [God indicated that] he had chosen someone from the tribe descended from Benjamin.
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 Samuel told representatives of the tribe of Benjamin to come forward, and God indicated that [from that tribe] he had chosen someone from the family of Matri, and then God indicated that [from the family of Matri] he had chosen Saul, the son of Kish. But when they looked for Saul, they could not find him.
22 Tad tie To Kungu vaicāja: vai vēl kāds še atnācis? Tad Tas Kungs sacīja: redzi, viņš starp tiem traukiem ir paslēpies.
So they asked Yahweh, “Where is Saul?” Yahweh replied, “He is hiding among the army equipment.”
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 quickly went there [and found him, ] and brought him [in front of all the people]. They could see that [truly] he was a head taller than anyone else.
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!
Then Samuel said to all the people there, “This is the man whom Yahweh has chosen to be your king. Among all us Israeli people, there is no one like him!” Then all the people shouted, “We hope that this king will live a long time!”
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 told the people what things the king would force them to do, and all the things the king was required to do. He wrote all those things on a scroll, and then he put it in a sacred place in the temple. Then Samuel sent all the people home.
26 Un Sauls gāja arīdzan mājās uz Ģibeju, un viņam gāja līdz pulks vīru, kam Dievs sirdi bija kustinājis.
When Saul returned to his home in Gibeah [town], a group of men decided to continually accompany Saul. They did that because God (motivated them/put it in their minds) to do that.
27 Bet kādi nelieši sacīja: ko šis mums palīdzēs? Un tie viņu nicināja un viņam nenesa dāvanas. Bet viņš nelikās to dzirdējis.
But some worthless men said, “(How can this man save us [from our enemies]?/This man will not be able to save us [from our enemies].)” [RHQ] They despised him, and refused to give him any gifts [to show that they would be loyal to him]. But Saul did not say anything [to rebuke them].
