Pirmā Samuela 16
1 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Samuēli: cik ilgi tu žēlojies par Saulu, kad Es to esmu atmetis, ka tam nebūs Israēlim būt par ķēniņu? Pildi savu ragu ar eļļu un noej; Es tevi sūtīšu pie Isajus, tā Bētlemieša, jo Es no viņa dēliem Sev esmu izredzējis ķēniņu.
And the Lord said to Samuel: “How long will you mourn for Saul, though I have rejected him, so that he would not reign over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and approach, so that I may send you to Jesse of Bethlehem. For I have provided a king from among his sons for myself.”
2 Bet Samuēls sacīja: kā lai es eju? Jo Sauls to dzirdēs un mani nokaus. Tad Tas Kungs sacīja: ņem vienu teļu līdz un saki:
And Samuel said: “How shall I go? For Saul will hear of it, and he will put me to death.” And the Lord said: “You shall take, by your hand, a calf from the herd. And you shall say, ‘I have arrived in order to immolate to the Lord.’
3 Es esmu nācis Tam Kungam upurēt. Un aicini Isaju pie tā upura, tad Es tev darīšu zināmu, ko tev būs darīt, un tev būs Man to svaidīt, ko Es tev noteikšu.
And you shall call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will reveal to you what you should do. And you shall anoint whomever I will indicate to you.”
4 Un Samuēls darīja, ko Tas Kungs bija runājis, un nāca uz Bētlemi. Tad tās pilsētas vecaji drebēdami viņam gāja pretī un sacīja: vai tu nāci ar mieru?
Therefore, Samuel did just as the Lord told him. And he went to Bethlehem, and the elders of the city wondered. And meeting him, they said, “Is your arrival peaceful?”
5 Un viņš sacīja: ar mieru; es esmu nācis Tam Kungam upurēt. Svētījaties un nāciet ar mani pie tā upura. Un viņš svētīja Isaju un viņa dēlus un tos aicināja pie tā upura.
And he said: “It is peaceful. I have arrived in order to immolate to the Lord. Be sanctified, and come with me to the sacrifice.” Then he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and he called them to the sacrifice.
6 Un notikās, kad tie nāca, tad viņš uzlūkoja Elijabu un domāja: tiešām, šis ir Tā Kunga priekšā Viņa svaidītais.
And when they had entered, he saw Eliab, and he said, “Could he be the Christ in the sight of the Lord?”
7 Bet Tas Kungs sacīja uz Samuēli: “Neuzlūko viņa ģīmi nedz viņa lielo garumu, jo Es viņu esmu atmetis. Jo tas nav tā, kā cilvēki redz. Jo cilvēks redz, kas priekš acīm, bet Tas Kungs uzlūko sirdi.”
And the Lord said to Samuel: “You should not look with favor on his face, nor on the height of his stature. For I have rejected him. Neither do I judge by the appearance of a man. For man sees those things that are apparent, but the Lord beholds the heart.”
8 Tad Isajus aicināja Abinadabu, un tam lika iet Samuēla priekšā; bet viņš sacīja: arī šo Tas Kungs nav izredzējis.
And Jesse called Abinadab, and he brought him before Samuel. And he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.”
9 Tad Isajus Šamum lika nākt priekšā. Bet viņš sacīja: arī šo Tas Kungs nav izredzējis.
Then Jesse brought Shammah. And he said about him, “And the Lord has not chosen this one.”
10 Tā Isajus saviem septiņiem dēliem lika nākt Samuēla priekšā, bet Samuēls sacīja uz Isaju: Tas Kungs nevienu no šiem nav izredzējis.
And so Jesse brought his seven sons before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord has not chosen any of these.”
11 Un Samuēls sacīja uz Isaju: vai šie tie jaunekļi visi? Un viņš sacīja: Tas jaunākais vēl atliek, un redzi, viņš gana avis. Tad Samuēls sacīja uz Isaju: nosūti un atvedi viņu šurp; jo mēs neapsēdīsimies, kamēr viņš nebūs atnācis.
And Samuel said to Jesse, “Could the sons now be completed?” But he responded, “There still remains a little one, and he pastures the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse: “Send and bring him. For we shall not recline to eat, until he arrives here.”
12 Tad viņš nosūtīja un to atveda. Un tas bija sarkaniem vaigiem, skaistām acīm un jauku ģīmi. Tad Tas Kungs sacīja: celies un svaidi to, jo tas ir tas.
Therefore, he sent and brought him. Now he was ruddy, and beautiful to behold, and with a stately face. And the Lord said, “Rise up, anoint him! For it is he.”
13 Tad Samuēls ņēma savu eļļas ragu un to svaidīja viņa brāļu vidū. Un Tā Kunga Gars nāca pār Dāvidu no šīs dienas un joprojām. Un Samuēls cēlās un nogāja uz Rāmatu.
Therefore, Samuel took the horn of oil, and he anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of the Lord was guiding David from that day and thereafter. And Samuel rose up, and he went away to Ramah.
14 Un Tā Kunga Gars atkāpās no Saula, un viņu biedināja ļauns gars no Tā Kunga.
But the Spirit of the Lord withdrew from Saul, and a wicked spirit from the Lord disturbed him.
15 Tad Saula kalpi uz to sacīja: redzi jel, ļauns gars no Dieva tevi biedina.
And the servants of Saul said to him: “Behold, an evil spirit from God disturbs you.
16 Lai saka mūsu kungs uz saviem kalpiem, kas tavā priekšā stāv, lai tie meklē kādu vīru, kas māk spēlēt uz koklēm, un kad tas ļaunais gars no Dieva pār tevi nāk, tad lai viņš ar savu roku spēlē, tad tev paliks labāki.
May our lord order, and your servants, who are before you, will seek a man skillful in playing a stringed instrument, so that when the evil spirit from the Lord assails you, he may play with his hand, and you may bear it more easily.”
17 Tad Sauls sacīja uz saviem kalpiem: lūkojiet man jel pēc tāda vīra, kas labi māk spēlēt, un atvediet to pie manis.
And Saul said to his servants, “Then provide for me someone who can play well, and bring him to me.”
18 Tad viens no viņa sulaiņiem atbildēja un sacīja: raugi, es esmu redzējis vienu Isajus dēlu Bētlemē, tas māk labi spēlēt un ir spēcīgs varonis un karavīrs un gudrs vārdos un skaists no auguma, un Tas Kungs ir ar viņu.
And one of the servants, responding, said: “Behold, I have seen the son of Jesse of Bethlehem, a skillful player, and very strong and robust, a man fit for war, and prudent in words, a handsome man. And the Lord is with him.”
19 Tad Sauls sūtīja vēstnešus pie Isajus un tam sacīja: sūti pie manis savu dēlu Dāvidu, kas ir pie avīm.
Therefore, Saul sent messengers to Jesse, saying, “Send to me your son David, who is in the pastures.”
20 Tad Isajus ņēma ēzeli ar maizi un trauku vīna un vienu kazlēnu, un to sūtīja Saulam caur sava dēla Dāvida roku.
And so, Jesse took a donkey laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid from one of the goats, and he sent them, by the hand of his son David, to Saul.
21 Tā Dāvids nāca pie Saula un stāvēja viņa priekšā, un tas viņu ļoti iemīlēja, un viņš tam bija par bruņu nesēju.
And David went to Saul, and stood before him. And he loved him exceedingly, and he made him his armor bearer.
22 Un Sauls sūtīja pie Isajus un lika sacīt: lai jel Dāvids paliek pie manis, jo viņš ir žēlastību atradis manās acīs.
And Saul sent to Jesse, saying: “Let David remain before my sight. For he has found favor in my eyes.”
23 Un notikās, kad gars no Dieva nāca pār Saulu, tad Dāvids ņēma kokles un spēlēja ar savu roku: tad Sauls atspirga un tam palika labāki, un tas ļaunais gars no viņa atstājās.
And so, whenever the evil spirit from the Lord assailed Saul, David took up his stringed instrument, and he struck it with his hand, and Saul was refreshed and uplifted. For the evil spirit withdrew from him.
