Pirmā Samuela 11
1 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.
Then about a month after this, Nahash the Ammonite came up and put his forces in position for attacking Jabesh-gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, Make an agreement with us and we will be your servants.
2 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.
And Nahash the Ammonite said to them, I will make an agreement with you on this condition, that all your right eyes are put out; so that I may make it a cause of shame to all Israel.
3 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.
Then the responsible men of Jabesh said to him, Give us seven days, so that we may send men to every part of Israel: and then, if no one comes to our help, we will come out to you.
4 Kad nu tie vēstneši nāca uz Ģibeju, Saula pilsētu, un šos vārdus runāja priekš ļaužu ausīm, tad visi ļaudis pacēla savu balsi un raudāja.
So they sent representatives to Saul's town Gibeah, and these gave the news to the people: and all the people gave themselves to weeping.
5 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.
Now Saul came from the field, driving the oxen before him; and he said, Why are the people weeping? And they gave him word of what the men of Jabesh had said.
6 Un Dieva Gars nāca pār Saulu, kad tas šos vārdus dzirdēja, un viņa dusmas ļoti iedegās.
And at their words, the spirit of God came on Saul with power, and he became very angry.
7 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.
And he took two oxen and, cutting them up, sent them through all the land of Israel by the hand of runners, saying, If any man does not come out after Saul and Samuel, this will be done to his oxen. And the fear of the Lord came on the people and they came out like one man.
8 Un viņš tos skaitīja Bazekā, un Israēla bērnu bija trīssimt tūkstoši un Jūda vīru bija trīsdesmit tūkstoši.
And he had them numbered in Bezek: the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
9 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.
Then he said to the representatives who had come, Say to the men of Jabesh-gilead, Tomorrow, by the time the sun is high, you will be made safe. And the representatives came and gave the news to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
10 Un Jabesas vīri sacīja: rīt mēs pie jums iesim ārā, lai jūs mums dariet, tā kā jums patīk.
So the men of Jabesh said, Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you may do to us whatever seems good to you.
11 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.
Now on the day after, Saul put the people into three bands, and in the morning watch they came to the tents of the Ammonites, and they went on attacking them till the heat of the day: and those who were not put to death were put to flight in every direction, so that no two of them were together.
12 Tad tie ļaudis sacīja uz Samuēli: kas tie tādi, kas sacīja: vai lai Sauls pār mums valda? Dodiet šurp tos vīrus, lai tos nokaujam.
And the people said to Samuel, Who was it who said, Is Saul to be our king? give the men up, so that we may put them to death.
13 Bet Sauls sacīja: šai dienā nevienam nebūs tapt nokautam, jo Tas Kungs šodien pestīšanu ir devis iekš Israēla.
And Saul said, Not a man is to be put to death today: for today the Lord has made Israel safe.
14 Un Samuēls sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: nāciet, iesim uz Gilgalu un atjaunosim tur ķēniņa valstību.
Then Samuel said to the people, Come, let us go to Gilgal and there make the kingdom strong in the hands of Saul.
15 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.
So all the people went to Gilgal; and there in Gilgal they made Saul king before the Lord; and peace-offerings were offered before the Lord; and there Saul and all the men of Israel were glad with great joy.
