Pirmā Samuela 14
1 Un kādā dienā Jonatāns, Saula dēls, sacīja uz savu puisi, kas viņa bruņas nesa: nāc, iesim pāri uz Fīlistu vakti, kas viņā pusē. Un viņš to savam tēvam nesacīja.
One day, Jonathan said to the young man who carried his weapons, “Come with me; we will go over to where the Philistia soldiers have put up their tents.” [So they went], but Jonathan did not tell his father [what they were going to do].
2 Bet Sauls palika Ģibejas galā apakš tā granāta koka Migronā, un to ļaužu, kas pie viņa, bija pie sešsimt vīru.
On that day, Saul and the 600 soldiers who were with him were sitting around a pomegranate tree at a place where the people threshed grain, near Gibeah.
3 Un Ahijus, Aķitaba dēls, (tas bija Ihaboda brālis, tas Pinehas dēls, tas Elus dēls, kas bija Tā Kunga priesteris iekš Šīlo), nesa to efodu; bet tie ļaudis nezināja, ka Jonatāns bija aizgājis.
Ahijah the priest was also there. He was wearing the sacred vest. Ahijah was the son of Ahitub, who was a brother of Ichabod. Ichabod and Ahitub were the sons of Phinehas, who was the son of Eli, who had been Yahweh’s priest at Shiloh. No one knew that Jonathan had left [the Israeli camp].
4 Bet tur tai ceļa šaurumā, kur Jonatānam bija cauri jāiet uz Fīlistu vakti, bija divas asas klintis, viena šai pusē, otra viņā pusē, un vienai bija vārds Bocec un otrai bija vārds Zene.
Jonathan planned that he and the young man would go through a narrow (pass/place between two cliffs) to get to where the Philistia army was. The cliff on one side of the pass was named Bozez, and the other cliff was named Seneh.
5 Vienai gals cēlās uz ziemeļa pusi pret Mikmasu un otrai uz dienasvidu pret Ģebu.
One cliff faced north toward Micmash, and the cliff on the other side faced south toward Geba [town].
6 Un Jonatāns sacīja uz to puisi, kas viņa bruņas nesa: ejam pāri uz šo neapgraizīto ļaužu vakti, vai Tas Kungs priekš mums ko nedarīs, jo Tam Kungam nav grūti atpestīt, vai caur daudz, vai caur maz.
Jonathan said to the young man who carried his weapons, “Come with me. We will go to where those (pagans/people who do not believe in Yahweh) [MTY] have set up their tents. Perhaps Yahweh will help us. It does not matter whether we are only two men or many people; nothing can hinder Yahweh from enabling us to defeat them.”
7 Tad viņa bruņu nesējs uz to sacīja: dari visu, kas tavā sirdī; ej tik, redzi, es iešu tev līdz pēc tava prāta.
The young man who was carrying Jonathan’s weapons said, “Do what you think is the best thing for us to do. I will help you.”
8 Tad Jonatāns sacīja: redzi, iesim pāri pie tiem vīriem un parādīsimies viņiem.
Then Jonathan said, “Okay, come with me. We will cross the valley to where the Philistia army is, and allow them to see us.
9 Ja tie tā uz mums sacīs: stāviet, tiekams mēs pie jums tiksim, tad paliksim stāvot savā vietā un nekāpsim augšā pie viņiem.
If they then say to us, ‘You two stay there until we come down to you,’ we will stay there and not go up to them.
10 Bet ja tie tā sacīs: nāciet augšā pie mums, - tad kāpsim augšā, jo Tas Kungs tos ir devis mūsu rokā, un tas mums būs par zīmi.
But if they say to us, ‘Come up here [and fight against] us,’ that will show us that Yahweh will enable us to defeat them. Then we will go up and fight them.”
11 Kad nu tie abi Fīlistu vakts vīriem parādījās, tad tie Fīlisti sacīja: redzi, Ebreji nāk ārā no tām alām, kur tie bija paslēpušies.
When the two of them crossed the valley, the Philistia soldiers saw them coming. They said, “Look! The Hebrews are crawling out of the holes in which they have been hiding!”
12 Un tie vakts vīri sauca Jonatānam un viņa bruņu nesējam un sacīja: nāciet pie mums augšā, mēs jums ko teiksim. Tad Jonatāns uz savu bruņu nesēju sacīja: kāp man pakaļ, jo Tas Kungs tos ir devis Israēla rokās.
Then the Philistia soldiers who were closest to Jonathan and the young man who carried his weapons said, “Come up here, and we will teach you something [about how to fight] [IDM]!” Jonathan said to the young man who was with him, “Come behind me and climb up, because Yahweh is going to help us to defeat them!”
13 Tad Jonatāns ar rokām un kājām uzrāpās, un viņa bruņu nesējs viņam pakaļ.
So Jonathan climbed up, using his hands and his feet [because it was very steep]. The young man climbed up following him. As Jonathan climbed, he struck and killed many Philistia soldiers, and the young man who was with him killed many more as he followed behind Jonathan.
14 Un tie krita Jonatāna priekšā, un viņa bruņu nesējs tos kāva viņam pakaļ, tā ka šinī pirmā kaušanā Jonatāns un viņa bruņu nesējs nokāva pie divdesmit vīru, tik ne pusbirzuma vietā.
In that first battle the two of them killed about 20 Philistia soldiers in an area that was about half an acre.
15 Un tur izbailes cēlās lēģerī, uz lauka un starp tiem ļaudīm, un tā vakts un tie sirotāji paši, pat tie drebēja, un zeme trīcēja, un tās bija izbailes no Dieva.
Then all the other Philistia soldiers, the ones in the camp and the ones who had been attacking the Israeli towns, ones who were out in the field much closer, panicked. Then God caused the ground to shake, and they all became terrified/very afraid.
16 Kad nu Saula sargi Benjamina Ģibejā redzēja, ka tas pulks izšķīda un izklīda šurp un turp,
Saul’s (lookouts/men who were watching to see if enemies were coming) were in Gibeah [town] in the land of the tribe of Benjamin. They saw that the soldiers of the Philistia army were running away in all directions.
17 Tad Sauls sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm, kas pie viņa bija: skaitāt jel un redziet, kas no mums ir nogājis. Tad tie skaitīja, un redzi, Jonatāna un viņa bruņu nesēja nebija.
Saul [realized that some of his soldiers must have attacked the Philistia army. So he] said to the soldiers who were with him, “Check to see if any of our men are not here.” So they checked, and they found out that Jonathan and the man who carried his weapons were gone.
18 Tad Sauls sacīja uz Ahiju: atnes Dieva šķirstu šurp! (jo Dieva šķirsts to laiku bija pie Israēla bērniem).
So Saul said to Ahijah [the Supreme Priest], “Bring the sacred vest here [and find out what we should do].” On that day Ahijah was wearing the sacred vest, going in front of the Israelis.
19 Un kamēr Sauls vēl uz to priesteri runāja, tad troksnis Fīlistu lēģerī auga un vairojās. Un Sauls sacīja uz to priesteri: apturi savu roku.
But while Saul was talking to the priest, [he saw that] the Philistia soldiers were becoming more panicked/confused. So Saul said to Ahijah, “Take your hand down [from the sacred vest. Do not waste any more time using the marked stones in the vest to find out what Yahweh wants us to do.”]
20 Tad Sauls un visi ļaudis, kas pie viņa bija, sasaucās un gāja kauties un redzi, tur bija zobens pret zobenu, un bija liels troksnis.
Then Saul gathered his men and they went toward the battle. They found that the Philistia soldiers were so confused that they were striking each other with their swords.
21 Un tie Ebreji, kas līdz šim bija pie Fīlistiem lēģerī bijuši un tiem bija līdz nākuši, tie arīdzan pārgāja pie Israēla, kas bija pie Saula un pie Jonatāna.
Before that, some of the Hebrew men had deserted their army and gone to join with the Philistia army. But now those men [revolted and] joined with Saul and Jonathan and the other Israeli soldiers.
22 Un visi Israēla vīri, kas bija apslēpušies uz Efraīma kalniem, kad tie dzirdēja Fīlistus bēgam, arī dzinās tiem pakaļ kaudamies.
Some of the Israeli soldiers had previously run away and hidden in the mountains where the tribe of Ephraim lived. But when they heard that the Philistia soldiers were running away, they [came down and] joined the other Israeli soldiers and pursued the Philistia soldiers.
23 Tā Tas Kungs tai dienā Israēli atpestīja, un tā kaušanās stiepās līdz Bet-Avenai.
So Yahweh rescued the Israelis on that day. The Israeli soldiers continued to pursue their enemies beyond Beth-Aven [town].
24 Un Israēla vīri nogura tai dienā, un Sauls tiem ļaudīm piekodināja sacīdams: nolādēts tas vīrs, kas maizi ēdīs, pirms vakars nāks un es būšu atriebies pie saviem ienaidniekiem. Un neviens no tiem ļaudīm maizes neēda.
Before Saul’s soldiers went to the battle, Saul declared to them solemnly, “I do not want any of you to eat any food before this evening, before we have defeated all our enemies. If anyone eats anything, [Yahweh] will curse/punish him.” So none of the Israeli soldiers ate any food, and they became faint/weak because they were very hungry.
25 Un visi ļaudis nāca mežā, un tur bija medus pa zemes virsu.
The Israeli army went into the forest, and they found honeycombs on the ground, but they did not eat any honey.
26 Kad nu tie ļaudis nāca mežā, redzi, tur tecēja medus. Bet neviens nelika savu roku pie mutes, jo tie ļaudis bijās no tā zvēresta.
They were afraid to eat any, because they had solemnly promised that they would not eat any food.
27 Bet Jonatāns to nebija dzirdējis, ka viņa tēvs tos ļaudis ar zvērestu bija apdraudējis, un viņš izstiepa sava zižļa galu, kas bija viņa rokā, un iemērca to tai medū, un grieza savu roku atkal pie mutes, tad viņa acis tapa skaidras.
But Jonathan did not hear what his father commanded [because he had left the camp very early in the morning]. So [when he saw] a honeycomb, he dipped the end of his walking stick into it and ate some honey. After he ate the honey, he felt stronger.
28 Un viens no tiem ļaudīm bildināja(ieminējās) un sacīja: tavs tēvs tos ļaudis ar zvērestu gauži apdraudējis sacīdams: nolādēts lai ir tas vīrs, kas šodien ko ēd! Un tā tie ļaudis nogurst.
But one of the Israeli soldiers saw him and said to him, “Your father solemnly declared to us that [Yahweh] would curse/punish anyone who ate any food today. So now we are [very tired and] weak from being hungry [because we obeyed him].”
29 Tad Jonatāns sacīja: mans tēvs to zemi ir sajaucis; redziet jel, kā manas acis palikušas skaidras, kad es maķenīt no šī medus esmu baudījis.
Jonathan exclaimed, “My father has caused trouble for all of us! See how refreshed/strong I am after eating a little honey!
30 Cik vairāk, kad tie ļaudis būtu ēdin ēduši no savu ienaidnieku laupījuma, ko tie atraduši; bet nu Fīlistu sakaušana nav bijusi tik liela.
If he had permitted all of us to eat from the food we took from our enemies while we were pursuing them, we would have been able to kill many more of their soldiers!”
31 Taču tai dienā tie Fīlistus kāva no Mikmasas līdz Ajalonai, un tie ļaudis bija ļoti noguruši.
The Israelis pursued and killed Philistia soldiers all that day, from Micmash [town west] to Aijalon. But they continued to become weaker from being hungry.
32 Tad tie ļaudis taisījās uz laupīšanu, un ņēma avis un vēršus un teļus, un tos kāva zemē, un tie ļaudis tos ēda ar asinīm.
They had taken [many] sheep and cattle that the Philistia soldiers had abandoned. Now, because they were extremely hungry, they butchered some of those animals and ate the meat without draining the blood from the animals.
33 Tad Saulam to teica un sacīja: redzi, tie ļaudis apgrēkojās pret To Kungu, asinis ēzdami. Un tas sacīja: jūs noziedzāties; atveļat man tagad šurp vienu lielu akmeni.
One of the soldiers told Saul, “Look! The men are sinning against Yahweh by eating meat that still has blood in it!” Saul replied [to the men who were near him], “They have disobeyed Yahweh! Roll a large stone over here!”
34 Un Sauls sacīja: ejat šurp un turp pa tiem ļaudīm un sakāt tiem: atvediet pie manis ikviens savu vērsi un ikviens savu avi, un nokaujiet tos šeit un ēdiet un neapgrēkojaties pret To Kungu, ar asinīm ēzdami. Tad visi ļaudis naktī atveda ikviens savu vērsi ar savu roku un tos tur nokāva.
After they did that, he said to those men, “Go and tell all the soldiers that each of them must bring an ox or a sheep to me, and kill it here on this stone, [and drain the blood] before he eats any of the meat. They should not sin against Yahweh by eating meat [from some animal] without draining its blood.” So that night all the soldiers brought animals and slaughtered them there. Then Saul built an altar to [worship] Yahweh.
35 Tad Sauls Tam Kungam uztaisīja vienu altāri. Šis bija tas pirmais altāris, ko viņš Tam Kungam cēla.
That was the first [time that he built an] altar for Yahweh.
36 Un Sauls sacīja: dzīsimies Fīlistiem pakaļ pa nakti un aplaupīsim tos, līdz kamēr gaisma metās, un neatlicināsim no tiem neviena. Tie sacīja: dari visu, kas tavām acīm patīk. Bet tas priesteris sacīja: iesim še pie Dieva.
Then Saul said [to the Israeli soldiers], “Let’s pursue the Philistia soldiers tonight. We can attack them all night. We will not allow any of them to escape alive.” The Israeli soldiers answered, “We will do whatever you think is the best thing for us to do.” But the priest said, “We should ask Yahweh [what he thinks we should do].”
37 Tad Sauls vaicāja Dievu: vai man Fīlistiem būs dzīties pakaļ? Vai tu tos dosi Israēla rokā? Bet Viņš tam tai dienā neatbildēja.
So Saul asked God, “Should we pursue the Philistine soldiers? Will you enable us to defeat them?” But God did not answer Saul that day.
38 Tad Sauls sacīja: nāciet šurp visi ļaužu virsnieki, un izmeklējiet un raugiet, pie kā tas grēks ir šim brīžam.
Then Saul summoned all the leaders of his army. He said to them, “[I am sure that God has not answered me because] someone has sinned. We must find out what sin someone has committed.
39 Jo tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo, kas Israēli atpestījis, jebšu tas būtu pie mana dēla Jonatāna, tad tam tiešām būs mirt. Un neviens no visiem ļaudīm tam neatbildēja.
Yahweh has rescued us [from the Philistia army]. Just as certain as Yahweh lives, whoever has sinned must be executed. Even if it is my son Jonathan who has sinned, he must be executed.” [His men knew who was guilty], but none of them said anything [to Saul].
40 Atkal tas sacīja uz visu Israēli: jums būs vienā pusē stāvēt, un es un mans dēls Jonatāns stāvēsim otrā pusē. Tad tie ļaudis sacīja uz Saulu: dari, kā tev patīk.
Then Saul said to all the Israeli soldiers, “You stand on one side. My son Jonathan and I will stand on the other side.” His men replied, “Do whatever you think is best.”
41 Tad Sauls sacīja uz To Kungu, Israēla Dievu: parādi taisnību. Tad Jonatāns un Sauls tapa iezīmēti, bet tie ļaudis izgāja bez vainas.
Then Saul prayed to Yahweh, the Israelis’ God, “Tell me who is guilty and who is not guilty.” Then the priest (cast lots/threw the stones that were marked), and they indicated that it was [either] Jonathan or Saul who was the guilty one, and that the other men were not guilty.
42 Tad Sauls sacīja: metiet par mani un par manu dēlu Jonatānu. Tad Jonatāns tapa iezīmēts.
Then Saul said to the priest, “Throw the stones again to indicate which of us two is guilty.” So he did, and the stones indicated that Jonathan was the guilty one.
43 Un Sauls sacīja uz Jonatānu: saki man, ko tu esi darījis? Tad Jonatāns viņam teica un sacīja: es tikai maķenīt medus esmu baudījis ar sava zižļa galu, kas bija manā rokā; redzi, man nu jāmirst.
Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done [that was wrong].” Jonathan replied, “I ate a little bit of honey. It was only a little bit that was on the end of my stick. Do I [deserve to be] executed [because of doing that]?”
44 Tad Sauls sacīja: lai Dievs man šā un tā dara, Jonatān, - tev tiešām jāmirst.
Saul replied, “Yes, you must be executed! I hope/wish that God will strike me and kill me if you are not executed for having done that!”
45 Tad tie ļaudis sacīja uz Saulu: vai Jonatānam būs mirt, kas šo lielo pestīšanu iekš Israēla padarījis. Nebūt ne! Tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo, ne matam no viņa galvas nebūs zemē krist, jo viņš to šodien ir izdarījis ar Dievu. Tā tie ļaudis Jonatānu izpestīja, ka tam nebija jāmirst.
But the Israeli soldiers said to Saul, “Jonathan has won a great victory for all us Israelis. Should he be executed for eating some honey [RHQ]? Certainly not! Just as surely as Yahweh lives, we will not allow you to injure him in any manner [IDM], [because] today God helped Jonathan [to kill many soldiers of the Philistia army]!” So [by saying that] the Israeli soldiers rescued Jonathan, and he was not executed.
46 Un Sauls no Fīlistiem atstājās un griezās atpakaļ, un Fīlisti gāja atkal uz savu vietu.
Then Saul ordered his soldiers to stop pursuing the Philistia army, so the Philistia soldiers returned to their homes.
47 Bet Sauls valdību bija uzņēmis pār Israēli un karoja visapkārt ar visiem saviem ienaidniekiem, arī pret Moabu un pret Amona bērniem un pret Edomu un pret Cobas ķēniņiem un pret Fīlistiem, un visiem, kurp viņš griezās viņš lika just savu bardzību.
After Saul became the ruler/king of the Israeli people, his army fought against their enemies in many areas. They fought against armies of the Moab people-group, the Ammon people-group, the Edom people-group, the kings of Zobah [city/area], and the Philistia people-group. Wherever the Israeli army fought, they defeated their enemies.
48 Un viņš parādīja spēku un sakāva Amalekiešus un izpestīja Israēli no viņu laupītāju rokas.
Saul’s army fought bravely and defeated the [very tall] descendants of Amalek. His army rescued the Israelis from those who had (plundered/forcefully taken things from) them.
49 Un Saula dēli bija Jonatāns, Izvus un Malķizuūs, un viņa abu meitu vārdi - tās pirmdzimtās vārds bija Merabe un tās jaunākās vārds bija Mikale.
Saul’s sons were Jonathan, Ishbosheth, and Malchishua. He also had two daughters, Merab and her younger sister Michal.
50 Un Saula sievas vārds bija Akinoame, Aķimaāca meita; un viņa kara virsnieka vārds bija Abners, Nera, Saula tēva brāļa, dēls.
Saul’s wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz. The commander of Saul’s army was Abner, who was the son of Saul’s uncle Ner.
51 Un Ķis, Saula tēvs, un Ners, Abnera tēvs, bija Abiēļa dēli.
Saul’s father Kish and Abner’s father Ner were both sons of Abiel.
52 Un karš bija briesmīgs pret Fīlistiem, kamēr Sauls dzīvoja. Un kad Sauls redzēja kādu stipru un varenu vīru, tad viņš to ņēma pie sevis.
All the time that Saul was alive, his army fought against the Philistia army. And whenever Saul saw a young man who was (brave/not afraid to fight) and strong, he forced him to join his army.
