Pirmā Samuela 12
1 Tad Samuēls sacīja uz visu Israēli: redzi, es jūsu balsij esmu paklausījis iekš visa, ko jūs man esat sacījuši, un esmu jums cēlis ķēniņu.
And Samuel said to all Israel, Behold, I have listened to your voice in all things that you have said to me, and I have set a king over you.
2 Un nu redzi, te jūsu ķēniņš jūsu priekšā staigā, un es esmu vecs un sirms palicis, un mani dēli ir pie jums, un es esmu jūsu priekšā staigājis no savas jaunības līdz šai dienai.
And now, behold, the king goes before you; and I am grown old and shall rest; and, behold, my sons [are] among you; and, behold, I have gone about before you from my youth to this day.
3 Redzi, še es esmu, atbildiet pret mani Tā Kunga priekšā un viņa svaidītā priekšā: kura vērsi es esmu ņēmis un kuram es ēzeli ņēmis? Kuram es varas darbu darījis, kuru es spaidījis un no kura rokas es dāvanas ņēmis, ka es savas acis tādēļ būtu aizdarījis? Tad es jums to atdošu.
Behold, [here am] I, answer against me before the Lord and before his anointed: whose calf have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom of you have I oppressed? or from whose hand have I taken a bribe, even [to] a sandal? bear witness against me, and I will make restitution to you.
4 Un tie sacīja: tu mums netaisnību neesi darījis nedz mūs spaidījis, un nekā neesi ņēmis no neviena rokas.
And they said to Samuel, You have not injured us, and you have not oppressed us; and you have not afflicted us, and you have not taken anything from any one's hand.
5 Tad viņš uz tiem sacīja: lai Tas Kungs ir liecinieks pret jums, un Viņa svaidītais lai ir šodien liecinieks, ka jūs manā rokā nekā neesat atraduši. Un tie sacīja: lai ir liecinieks.
And Samuel said to the people, The Lord [is] witness among you, and his anointed [is] witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand: and they said, [He is] witness.
6 Un Samuēls sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: (lai ir liecinieks) Tas Kungs, kas Mozu un Āronu ir cēlis un kas jūsu tēvus no Ēģiptes zemes izvedis.
And Samuel spoke to the people, saying, The Lord who appointed Moses and Aaron [is] witness, who brought our fathers up out of Egypt.
7 Un nu stājaties šeitan, ka es ar jums tiesājos Tā Kunga priekšā par visām Tā Kunga labdarīšanām, ko Viņš jums un jūsu tēviem darījis.
And now stand still, and I will judge you before the Lord; and I will relate to you all the righteousness of the Lord, the things which he has wrought among you and your fathers.
8 Kad Jēkabs Ēģiptes zemē bija nācis, un jūsu tēvi uz To Kungu brēca, tad Tas Kungs sūtīja Mozu un Āronu, un tie vadīja jūsu tēvus no Ēģiptes un lika tiem šai vietā dzīvot.
When Jacob and his sons went into Egypt, and Egypt humbled them, then our fathers cried to the Lord, and the Lord sent Moses and Aaron; and they brought our fathers out of Egypt, and he made them to dwell in this place.
9 Bet tie aizmirsa To Kungu, savu Dievu; tāpēc Viņš tos pārdeva Siserus, Hacoras kara kunga, rokā un Fīlistu rokā un Moaba ķēniņa rokā, un šie karoja pret viņiem.
And they forgot the Lord their God, and he sold them into the hands of Sisara captain of the host of Jabis king of Asor, and into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the king of Moab; and he fought with them.
10 Tad tie brēca uz To Kungu un sacīja: mēs esam grēkojuši, jo mēs To Kungu esam atstājuši un kalpojuši Baālam un Astartēm. Un nu izpestī mūs no mūsu ienaidnieku rokas, tad mēs Tev gribam kalpot.
And they cried to the Lord, and said, We have sinned, for we have forsaken the Lord, and have served Baalim and the groves: and now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve you.
11 Tad Tas Kungs sūtīja Jerub-Baālu un Bedanu un Jeftu un Samuēli, un jūs izglāba no jūsu ienaidnieku rokas visapkārt, tā ka jūs mierā dzīvojat.
And he sent Jerobaal, and Barac, and Jephthae, and Samuel, and rescued us out of the hand of our enemies round about, and you lived in security.
12 Kad nu jūs redzējāt, ka Naās, Amona bērnu ķēniņš, pret jums nāca, tad jūs uz mani sacījāt: nē, bet ķēniņam būs pār mums valdīt! Un tomēr Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, bija jūsu ķēniņš.
And you saw that Naas king of the children of Ammon came against you, and you said, Nay, none but a king shall reign over us; whereas the Lord our God [is] our king.
13 Un nu redzi, te ir tas ķēniņš, ko jūs esat izvēlējušies, ko jūs esat prasījuši, un redzi, Tas Kungs ir cēlis ķēniņu pār jums.
And now behold the king whom you have chosen; and behold, the Lord has set a king over you.
14 Ja tik jūs To Kungu bīsities un Viņam kalposiet un Viņa balsij klausīsiet un Tā Kunga mutei pretī neturēsities un pakaļ staigāsiet Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, gan jūs, gan tas ķēniņš, kas pār jums valda.
If you should fear the Lord, and serve him, and listen to his voice, and not resist the mouth of the Lord, and you and your king that reigns over you should follow the Lord, [well].
15 Bet ja jūs Tā Kunga balsij neklausīsiet un Tā Kunga mutei pretī turēsities, tad Tā Kunga roka būs pret jums, kā pret jūsu tēviem.
But if you should not listen to the voice of the Lord, and you should resist the mouth of the Lord, then shall the hand of the Lord be upon you and upon your king.
16 Nostājaties tagad šeitan un redziet šo lielo lietu, ko Tas Kungs priekš jūsu acīm darīs.
And now stand still, and see this great thing, which the Lord will do before your eyes.
17 Vai tagad nav kviešu pļaujamais laiks? Es piesaukšu To Kungu, un tas dos pērkonus un lietu, lai jūs atzīstat un redzat, ka tas ļaunums liels, ko jūs esat darījuši priekš Tā Kunga acīm, ķēniņu sev lūgdami.
[Is it] not wheat harvest today? I will call upon the Lord, and he shall send thunder and rain; and know you and see, that your wickedness [is] great which you have wrought before the Lord, having asked for yourselves a king.
18 Kad nu Samuēls To Kungu piesauca, tad Tas Kungs deva pērkonus un lietu tai pašā dienā; un visi ļaudis To Kungu un Samuēli ļoti bijās.
And Samuel called upon the Lord, and the Lord sent thunders and rain in that day; and all the people feared greatly the Lord and Samuel.
19 Un visi ļaudis sacīja uz Samuēli: lūdz par saviem kalpiem To Kungu, savu Dievu, ka mēs nemirstam. Pie visiem saviem grēkiem mēs arī to grēku esam darījuši, ka sev ķēniņu esam lūguši.
And all the people said to Samuel, Pray for your servants to the Lord your God, and let us not die; for we have added to all our sins this iniquity, in asking for us a king.
20 Tad Samuēls sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: nebīstaties! Jūs gan visu šo grēku esat darījuši, tomēr neatkāpjaties no Tā Kunga, bet kalpojiet Tam Kungam ar visu savu sirdi.
And Samuel said to the people, Fear not: you have [indeed] wrought all this iniquity; only turn not from following the Lord, and serve the Lord with all your heart.
21 Un neatkāpjaties, ka nedzenaties nelietībai pakaļ, tiem, kas nedz palīdz nedz izglābj jo tie ir nelietība.
And turn not aside after the [gods] that are nothing, who will do nothing, and will not deliver [you], because they are nothing.
22 Jo Tas Kungs neatstums Savus ļaudis Sava lielā Vārda dēļ; jo Tam Kungam ir paticis jūs darīt Sev par ļaudīm.
For the Lord will not cast off his people for his great name's sake, because the Lord graciously took you to himself for a people.
23 Arī es ne mūžam tā pret To Kungu neapgrēkošos, ka es mitētos par jums lūgt un jums mācīt to labo un taisno ceļu.
And far be it from me to sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you: but I will serve the Lord, and show you the good and the right way.
24 Bīstaties tikai To Kungu un kalpojiet Viņam uzticīgi no visas savas sirds, jo jūs esat redzējuši, kādas lielas lietas Viņš pie jums ir darījis.
Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth and with all your heart, for you see what great things he has wrought with you.
25 Bet ja jūs ļaunumu darīsiet, tad gan jūs, gan jūsu ķēniņš iesiet bojā.
But if you continue to do evil, then shall you and your king be consumed.
