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 Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabesh-gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, 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 Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon 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 elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel: and then, if there be no man to save 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.
Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears 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 after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.
6 Un Dieva Gars nāca pār Saulu, kad tas šos vārdus dzirdēja, un viņa dusmas ļoti iedegās.
And the Spirit of Elohim came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.
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 a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of YHWH fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
8 Un viņš tos skaitīja Bazekā, un Israēla bērnu bija trīssimt tūkstoši un Jūda vīru bija trīsdesmit tūkstoši.
And when he numbered them 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.
And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, To morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and shewed it 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.
Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto 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.
And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained 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 unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, 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, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day YHWH hath wrought salvation in Israel.
14 Un Samuēls sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: nāciet, iesim uz Gilgalu un atjaunosim tur ķēniņa valstību.
Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and 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 Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before YHWH in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before YHWH; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
