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 unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto 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 is walking before you; and I am old and gray-headed; and my sons, behold, they are with you; and I have walked before you from my youth even until 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; testify against me in the presence of the Lord, and in the presence of his anointed: Whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or from whose hand have I received any ransom so that I withdrew my eyes from him? and I will restore it you.

4 Un tie sacīja: tu mums netaisnību neesi darījis nedz mūs spaidījis, un nekā neesi ņēmis no neviena rokas.

And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor hast thou oppressed us, and thou hast not taken from any man's hand the least.

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 he said unto them, The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found in my hand the least: and they answered, 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 said unto the people, It is the Lord who did [wonders through] Moses and Aaron, and who brought your fathers up out of the land 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 up, that I may hold judgment with you before the Lord concerning all the benefits of the Lord, which he hath done to you and to 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 was come into Egypt, then did your fathers cry unto the Lord, and the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, and they brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and caused 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 when they forgot the Lord their God, he sold them into the hand of Sissera, the chief of the host of Chazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they made war against 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 [then] unto the Lord, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord, and have served the Be'alim and the 'Ashtaroth; and now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.

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 the Lord sent Yerubba'al, and Bedan, and Yiphthach, and Samuel, and he delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, so that ye dwelt safely.

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.

But when ye saw that Nachash the king of the children of 'Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, No; but a king shall reign over us: when the Lord your God is your 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 here is the king whom ye have chosen, whom ye have asked for! and, behold, the Lord hath set over you a king.

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 ye will fear the Lord, and serve him, and obey his voice, and will not rebel against the will of the Lord: then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the Lord your God.

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 ye will not hearken to the voice of the Lord, and rebel against the will of the Lord: then will the hand of the Lord be against you, as it was against your fathers.

16 Nostājaties tagad šeitan un redziet šo lielo lietu, ko Tas Kungs priekš jūsu acīm darīs.

And now stand up and see this great thing, which the Lord is about doing 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 there not wheat-harvest today? I will call unto the Lord, and he will send thunders and rain; and ye will [thus] perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done, in the eyes of the Lord, to ask 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 unto the Lord; and the Lord sent thunders and rain on 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 unto Samuel, Pray in behalf of thy servants unto the Lord thy God, that we may not die; for we have added unto all our sins yet this evil, to ask for ourselves 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 unto the people, Fear not; ye have indeed done all this evil: yet turn not aside from following the Lord, and serve ye 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 ye not aside; for then would ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; because they are vain.

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 forsake his people for the sake of his great name; because it hath pleased the Lord to make you a people unto himself.

23 Arī es ne mūžam tā pret To Kungu neapgrēkošos, ka es mitētos par jums lūgt un jums mācīt to labo un taisno ceļu.

Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray in behalf of you; but I will teach 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 with all your heart; for see what great things he hath done with you.

25 Bet ja jūs ļaunumu darīsiet, tad gan jūs, gan jūsu ķēniņš iesiet bojā.

But if ye will in any wise do wickedly, both ye yourselves as also your king shall perish.
