Pirmā Samuela 13
1 Sauls bija četrdesmit gadus vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu un valdīja divdesmit divus gadus pār Israēli.
Saul was [thirty] years old when he began to reign; and, when he had reigned two years over Israel,
2 Un Sauls sev izlasīja trīs tūkstošus (vīru) no Israēla un divi tūkstoši bija pie Saula Mikmasā un uz Bēteles kalniem, un tūkstoš (vīru) pie Jonatāna Benjamina Ģibejā; un tos citus ļaudis viņš atlaida, ikvienu uz savām mājām.
Saul chose him three thousand men out of Israel, of whom there were with Saul, two thousand in Michmash and in the hill-country of Bethel, and, a thousand, were with Jonathan, in Gibeah of Benjamin, —but, the rest of the people, he let go, every man to his own home.
3 Bet Jonatāns sita Fīlistus lēģerī Ģebā, un Fīlisti to dzirdēja. Tādēļ Sauls pūta ar bazūnēm pa visu zemi sacīdams: lai Ebreji to dzird.
Then did Jonathan smite the garrison of Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it, —and, Saul, blew with a horn throughout all the land saying, Let the Hebrews hear!
4 Tad viss Israēls dzirdēja sakām: Sauls Fīlistus lēģerī ir sitis, un Israēls ir tapis smirdots pie Fīlistiem. Tad tie ļaudis tapa sasaukti uz Gilgalu Saulam pakaļ.
And, all Israel, heard say—Saul hath smitten the garrison of the Philistines, Moreover, also, Israel have made themselves odious among the Philistines, —so the people were called together to follow Saul, to Gilgal.
5 Un Fīlisti sapulcējās pret Israēli karot, trīsdesmit tūkstoš rati un seštūkstoš jātnieki un tik daudz ļaužu kā smiltis jūrmalā. Un tie cēlās un apmeta lēģeri pie Mikmasas, no Bet-Avenas pret rītiem.
And, the Philistines, gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, a people also like the sand that is on the sea-shore for multitude, —and they came up, and encamped in Michmash, east of Beth-aven.
6 Kad nu Israēla vīri redzēja savas bēdas (jo tie ļaudis bija spaidos), tad tie ļaudis paslēpās alās un ērkšķu krūmos un klintīs un pilīs un bedrēs.
So, the men of Israel, saw they were in a strait, for the people had been harassed, —and the people had hidden themselves in caves, and in thickets, and among cliffs, and in holes, and in pits.
7 Un Ebreji cēlās pār Jardāni pāri uz Gada zemi un Gileādu. Bet Sauls bija vēl Gilgalā un visi ļaudis drebēja viņam pakaļ.
And, Hebrews, had passed over the Jordan, to the land of Gad, and Gilead, —but, Saul, was yet in Gilgal, and all the people, trembled after him.
8 Tad viņš gaidīja septiņas dienas, līdz tam laikam, ko Samuēls bija nolicis. Bet kad Samuēls uz Gilgalu nenāca, tad tie ļaudis no viņa izklīda.
And he waited seven days, by the set time that Samuel had named, but Samuel came not to Gilgal, —and the people were scattered from him.
9 Tad Sauls sacīja: nesiet man šurp to dedzināmo upuri un tos pateicības upurus. Un viņš upurēja to dedzināmo upuri.
Then said Saul, Bring near unto me, the ascending-sacrifice and the peace-offerings. And he offered up the ascending-sacrifice.
10 Kad nu viņš bija beidzis upurēt to dedzināmo upuri, redzi, tad Samuēls atnāca, un Sauls izgāja tam pretī, viņu sveicināt.
And it came to pass, as he had made an end of offering up the ascending-sacrifice, lo! Samuel, had come, —and Saul went out to meet him, that he might bless him.
11 Tad Samuēls sacīja: ko tu esi darījis? Un Sauls sacīja: kad es redzēju, ka tie ļaudis no manis izklīda un tu noliktā laikā nenāci, un tie Fīlisti bija sapulcējušies Mikmasā,
Then said Samuel—What hast thou done? And Saul said—Because I saw that the people had been scattered from me, and, thou, hadst not come within the appointed days, and, the Philistines, had gathered themselves together to Michmash,
12 Tad es sacīju: nu Fīlisti pie manis nāks uz Gilgalu, un es Tā Kunga vaigu neesmu pielūdzis, tā es iedrošinājos un upurēju to dedzināmo upuri.
therefore I said—Now, will the Philistines come down against me, at Gilgal, but, the face of Yahweh, have I not appeased: So I forced myself, and offered up the ascending-sacrifice.
13 Tad Samuēls sacīja uz Saulu: tu esi aplam darījis; tu neesi turējis Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, bausli, ko Viņš tev ir pavēlējis; jo nu Tas Kungs tavu valstību pār Israēli būtu apstiprinājis mūžīgi,
And Samuel said unto Saul—Thou hast shewn thyself foolish, —thou hast not kept the commandment of Yahweh thy God, which he commanded thee, for, now, would Yahweh have established thy kingdom unto Israel until times age-abiding;
14 Bet nu tava valstība nepastāvēs: Tas Kungs Sev vīru ir izmeklējis pēc Savas sirds, un Tas Kungs to ir nolicis Saviem ļaudīm par valdnieku, tāpēc ka tu neesi turējis, ko Tas Kungs tev bija pavēlējis.
Whereas, now, shall thy kingdom not be established, —Yahweh hath sought out for him a man after his own heart, and Yahweh hath commanded him to be leader over his people, because thou hast not kept that which Yahweh commanded thee.
15 Tad Samuēls cēlās un gāja no Gilgalas uz Benjamina Ģibeju, un Sauls skaitīja tos ļaudis, kas pie viņa atradās, pie sešsimt vīru.
And Samuel arose, and ascended from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who were found with him, about six hundred men.
16 Un Sauls un Jonatāns, viņa dēls, un tie ļaudis, kas pie viņiem atradās, palika Benjamina Ģibejā. Bet Fīlisti bija apmetušies Mikmasā.
Now, Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were found with him, were abiding in Geba of Benjamin, —but, the Philistines, had encamped in Michmash.
17 Un no Fīlistu lēģera izgāja trīs pulki sirotāju, viens pulks griezās uz to ceļu pret Ovru, uz Saula zemi,
And the spoilers came forth out of the camp of the Philistines, in three companies, the first company, turned unto the way of Ophrah, unto the land of Shual;
18 Un viens pulks griezās uz to ceļu pret Bet-Oronu, un viens pulks griezās uz to robežas ceļu, kas uz Ceboīm ieleju pret tuksnesi stiepjas.
and, the second company, turned unto the way of Beth-horon, —and, the third company, turned unto the way of the boundary that overlooketh the valley of Zeboim, towards the wilderness.
19 Un neviena kalēja nebija pa visu Israēla zemi. Jo Fīlisti sacīja: lai Ebreji ne zobenu, ne šķēpu netaisa.
Now, a smith, could not be found, throughout all the land of Israel—for the Philistines had said, Lest the Hebrews make sword or spear.
20 Tādēļ visam Israēlim bija jānoiet pie Fīlistiem, savu lemesi vai lāpstu vai cirvi vai izkapti asināt.
So all Israel went down to the Philistines, —to sharpen every man his share, and his mattock, and his axe, and his sickle.
21 Un asmeņi pie izkaptīm un lāpstām un dakšām un cirvjiem bija atcirsti, un tie dzenuļi atkal bija jāmetina.
Howbeit they had a file for the sickles, and the mattocks, and the three-pronged forks, and the axes, —and for setting the goads.
22 Un notikās kaujas dienā, ka ne pie viena no tiem ļaudīm, kas bija pie Saula un pie Jonatāna, neatrada rokā ne zobena, ne šķēpa, tikvien pie Saula un pie Jonatāna, viņa dēla, tie atradās.
Thus would it come to pass, in the day of battle, that there was found—neither sword nor spear, in the hand of any of the people, that were with Saul and Jonathan, but such were found belonging to Saul and to Jonathan his son.
23 Un viens pulks Fīlistu devās uz to ceļa šaurumu kalnos pie Mikmasas.
Now the garrison of the Philistines had come out to the pass of Michmash.
