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.
And it came to pass about a month after this that Naas, the Ammonite came up, and began to fight against Jabes Galaad. And all the men of Jabes said to Naas: Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
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 Naas the Ammonite answered them: On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may pluck out all your right eyes, and make you a reproach in 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.
And the ancients of Jabes said to him: Allow us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the coasts of Israel: and if there be no one to defend us, we will come out to thee.
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.
The messengers therefore came to Gabaa of Saul: and they spoke these words in the hearing of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.
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.
And behold Saul came, following oxen out of the field, and he said: What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the words of the men of Jabes.
6 Un Dieva Gars nāca pār Saulu, kad tas šos vārdus dzirdēja, un viņa dusmas ļoti iedegās.
And the spirit of the Lord came upon Saul, when he had heard these words, and his anger was exceedingly kindled.
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 taking both the oxen, he cut them in pieces, and sent them into all the coasts of Israel by messengers, saying: Whosoever shall not come forth, and follow Saul and Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen. And the fear of the Lord fell upon the people, and they went out as one man.
8 Un viņš tos skaitīja Bazekā, un Israēla bērnu bija trīssimt tūkstoši un Jūda vīru bija trīsdesmit tūkstoši.
And he numbered them in Bezec: and there were of the children of Israel three hundred thousand: and of the men of Juda 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.
And they said to the messengers that came: Thus shall you say to the men of Jabes Galaad: Tomorrow, when the sun shall be hot, you shall have relief. The messengers therefore came, and told the men of Jabes: and they were glad.
10 Un Jabesas vīri sacīja: rīt mēs pie jums iesim ārā, lai jūs mums dariet, tā kā jums patīk.
And they said: In the morning we will come out to you: and you shall do what you please with us.
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.
And it came to pass, when the morrow was come that Saul put the people in three companies: and he came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and he slew the Ammonites until the day grew hot, and the rest were scattered, so that two of them were not left 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 is he that said: Shall Saul reign over us? Bring the men and we will kill them.
13 Bet Sauls sacīja: šai dienā nevienam nebūs tapt nokautam, jo Tas Kungs šodien pestīšanu ir devis iekš Israēla.
And Saul said: No man shall be killed this day, because the Lord this day hath wrought salvation in Israel:
14 Un Samuēls sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: nāciet, iesim uz Gilgalu un atjaunosim tur ķēniņa valstību.
And Samuel said to the people: Come and let us go to Galgal, and let us renew the kingdom there.
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.
And all the people went to Galgal, and there they made Saul king before the Lord in Galgal, and they sacrificed there victims of peace before the Lord. And there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced exceedingly.
