Pirmā Samuela 17
1 Un Fīlisti sapulcināja savu spēku uz karu un sapulcējās iekš Sohus, vienā Jūda cilts pilsētā un apmeta savu lēģeri starp Sohu un Azeku Eses-Damimā.
Now the Philistines gathered their forces for war at Socoh in Judah, and they camped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim.
2 Bet Sauls un Israēla vīri sapulcējās un apmetās ozolu ielejā un taisījās karot pret Fīlistiem.
Saul and the men of Israel assembled and camped in the Valley of Elah, arraying themselves for battle against the Philistines.
3 Un Fīlisti stāvēja uz kalna viņā pusē, un Israēla ļaudis stāvēja uz kalna šai pusē, un ieleja bija viņu starpā.
The Philistines stood on one hill and the Israelites stood on another, with the valley between them.
4 Tad viens stiprinieks izgāja no Fīlistu lēģera, ar vārdu Goliats no Gatas; viņa garums bija sešas olektis un viens sprīdis.
Then a champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out from the Philistine camp. He was six cubits and a span in height,
5 Un tam bija vara cepure uz galvas un tam bija zvīņainas krūšu-bruņas un, tas krūšu bruņu svars bija pieci tūkstoši sēķeļu vara,
and he had a bronze helmet on his head. He wore a bronze coat of mail weighing five thousand shekels,
6 Un lielu bruņas no vara ap lieliem, un vara šķēps uz pleciem.
and he had armor of bronze on his legs and a javelin of bronze slung between his shoulders.
7 Un viņa šķēpa kāts bija kā riestava un viņa šķēpa asmens bija no sešsimt sēķeliem dzelzs, un tas bruņu nesējs gāja viņa priekšā.
The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels. In addition, his shield bearer went before him.
8 Šis nu stāvēja un sauca uz Israēla pulkiem un uz tiem sacīja: kāpēc jūs gribat iziet un stāties uz karu? Vai es neesmu Fīlists un jūs Saula kalpi? Izmeklējiet no sevis vienu, kas pie manis nāk lejā.
And Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why do you come out and array yourselves for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose one of your men and have him come down against me.
9 Ja tas ar mani varēs kauties un mani nokaus, tad mēs jums gribam būt par kalpiem, bet ja es viņu pārvaru un viņu kauju, tad jūs būsiet mums par kalpiem un mums kalposiet.
If he is able to fight me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and labor for us.”
10 Un tas Fīlists sacīja: es šodien Israēla pulkus esmu lamājis; dodiet man vienu vīru, ka mēs viens ar otru cīkstamies.
Then the Philistine said, “I defy the ranks of Israel this day! Give me a man to fight!”
11 Kad nu Sauls un viss Israēls šos Fīlista vārdus dzirdēja, tad tie iztrūcinājās un bijās ļoti. -
On hearing the words of the Philistine, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and greatly afraid.
12 Dāvids nu bija dēls tam Efratiešam no Jūda Bētlemes, ar vārdu Isajus; tam bija astoņi dēli, un Saula laikā tas jau bija vecs vīrs, jau labi gados.
Now David was the son of a man named Jesse, an Ephrathite from Bethlehem of Judah who had eight sons in the days of Saul. And Jesse was old and well along in years.
13 Un Isajus trīs vecākie dēli bija karā gājuši Saulam līdz, un viņa triju dēlu vārdi, kas karā gāja, bija: Elijabs, tas pirmdzimtais, un viņa otrais, Abinadabs, un tas trešais Šamus.
The three older sons of Jesse had followed Saul into battle: The firstborn was Eliab, the second was Abinadab, and the third was Shammah.
14 Un Dāvids bija tas jaunākais; un tie trīs vecākie Saulam bija gājuši līdz.
And David was the youngest. The three oldest had followed Saul,
15 Bet Dāvids gāja un nāca no Saula, sava tēva avis ganīt Bētlemē.
but David went back and forth from Saul to tend his father’s sheep in Bethlehem.
16 Bet tas Fīlists izgāja rītos un vakaros un rādījās tur četrdesmit dienas.
For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and evening to take his stand.
17 Tad Isajus sacīja uz savu dēlu Dāvidu: ņem jel priekš saviem brāļiem vienu ēfu no šīm ceptām vārpām un šās desmit maizes un steidzies lēģerī pie saviem brāļiem.
One day Jesse said to his son David, “Take this ephah of roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread for your brothers and hurry to their camp.
18 Bet šos desmit sierus nones tam virsniekam par tūkstoš, un apmeklē savus brāļus, kā tiem klājās, un ņem vienu zīmi no tiem.
Take also these ten portions of cheese to the commander of their unit. Check on the welfare of your brothers and bring back an assurance from them.
19 Bet Sauls un šie un visi Israēla vīri bija ozolu ielejā, ar Fīlistiem karodami.
They are with Saul and all the men of Israel in the Valley of Elah, fighting against the Philistines.”
20 Tad Dāvids cēlās agri un atstāja avis pie gana un ņēma (tās lietas) un nogāja, kā Isajus viņam bija pavēlējis, un nāca pie tiem savestiem lēģera ratiem, un tas karaspēks izgāja uz kaušanos un sacēla kara troksni.
So David got up early in the morning, left the flock with a keeper, loaded up, and set out as Jesse had instructed him. He reached the camp as the army was marching out to its position and shouting the battle cry.
21 Un Israēlieši un Fīlisti nostājās uz kaušanos, pulks pret pulku.
And Israel and the Philistines arrayed in formation against each other.
22 Tad Dāvids nolika tos traukus pie tā rīku sarga un skrēja pie tiem karapulkiem un nāca un apsveicināja savus brāļus.
Then David left his supplies in the care of the quartermaster and ran to the battle line. When he arrived, he asked his brothers how they were doing.
23 Kad nu viņš vēl ar tiem runāja, redzi, tad nāca tas stiprinieks, vārdā Goliats, tas Fīlists no Gatas, no Fīlistu karapulkiem un runāja tos pašus vārdus, un Dāvids to dzirdēja.
And as he was speaking with them, suddenly the champion named Goliath, the Philistine from Gath, came forward from the Philistines and shouted his usual words, which David also heard.
24 Bet visi Israēla vīri, kad tie šo vīru redzēja, tad tie priekš viņa bēga un bijās ļoti.
When all the men of Israel saw Goliath, they fled from him in great fear.
25 Un Israēla vīri sacīja: vai jūs to vīru esat redzējuši, kas te nāk? Viņš nāk Israēli lamāt. Un notiks, to vīru, kas šo kaus, ķēniņš darīs ļoti bagātu un tam dos savu meitu par sievu un atlaidīs viņa tēva namam nodošanas iekš Israēla.
Now the men of Israel had been saying, “Do you see this man who keeps coming out to defy Israel? To the man who kills him the king will give great riches. And he will give him his daughter in marriage and exempt his father’s house from taxation in Israel.”
26 Tad Dāvids runāja uz tiem vīriem, kas pie viņa stāvēja, un sacīja: kas tam vīram būs, kas šo Fīlistu kaus un novērsīs kaunu no Israēla? Jo kas viņš tāds, tas Fīlists, tas neapgraizītais, ka tas tā dzīvā Dieva karapulkus lamā?
David asked the men who were standing with him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Just who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”
27 Tad tie ļaudis viņam teica tos pašus vārdus un sacīja: tā un tā tam vīram darīs, kas viņu nokaus.
The people told him about the offer, saying, “That is what will be done for the man who kills him.”
28 Bet Elijabs, viņa vecākais brālis, viņu dzirdēja ar tiem vīriem runājam, un Elijabs apskaitās par Dāvidu un sacīja: kāpēc tad tu esi atnācis? Un pie kā tu to mazo avju pulciņu tuksnesī esi pametis? Es gan zinu tavu lielību un tavu sirds blēdību, jo tu esi nācis kaušanos redzēt.
Now when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking to the men, his anger burned against David. “Why have you come down here?” he asked. “And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and wickedness of heart—you have come down to see the battle!”
29 Tad Dāvids sacīja: ko tad nu es esmu darījis? Vai man nav brīvi runāt?
“What have I done now?” said David. “Was it not just a question?”
30 Un viņš griezās no tā pie cita un sacīja tos pašus vārdus. Un tie ļaudis tam atbildēja tā kā papriekš.
Then he turned from him toward another and asked about the offer, and those people answered him just as the first ones had answered.
31 Kad nu šie vārdi tapa dzirdēti, ko Dāvids runāja, un Saulam tapa sacīti, tad viņš to lika atvest.
Now David’s words were overheard and reported to Saul, who called for him.
32 Un Dāvids sacīja uz Saulu: lai nevienam sirds nezūd viņa pēc. Tavs kalps noies un kausies ar šo Fīlistu.
And David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail on account of this Philistine. Your servant will go and fight him!”
33 Bet Sauls sacīja uz Dāvidu: tu nevari noiet pret šo Fīlistu, ar viņu kauties. Jo tu esi zēns un viņš ir karavīrs no savas jaunības.
But Saul replied, “You cannot go out against this Philistine to fight him. You are just a boy, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”
34 Tad Dāvids sacīja uz Saulu: tavs kalps ganīja sava tēva avis, tad nāca lauva un lācis un nonesa avi no ganāmā pulka.
David replied, “Your servant has been tending his father’s sheep, and whenever a lion or a bear came and carried off a lamb from the flock,
35 Un es tam dzinos pakaļ un to kāvu un izpestīju (to avi) no viņa rīkles. Kad viņš nu pret mani cēlās, tad es viņu grābu pie bārdas un to situ un nokāvu.
I went after it, struck it down, and delivered the lamb from its mouth. If it reared up against me, I would grab it by its fur, strike it down, and kill it.
36 Tavs kalps ir gan lauvu, gan lāci nokāvis; tāpat būs šis neapgraizītais Fīlists, tā kā viens no tiem; jo viņš tā dzīvā Dieva karapulkus ir lamājis.
Your servant has killed lions and bears; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God.”
37 Un Dāvids sacīja: Tas Kungs, kas mani pestījis no lauvas un no lāča, mani arī atpestīs no šā Fīlista rokas.
David added, “The LORD, who delivered me from the claws of the lion and the bear, will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” “Go,” said Saul, “and may the LORD be with you.”
38 Tad Sauls sacīja uz Dāvidu: ej tad, lai Tas Kungs tev palīdz. Un Sauls apģērba Dāvidu ar savām paša drēbēm un lika vara cepuri uz viņa galvu un to apģērba ar krūšu bruņām.
Then Saul clothed David in his own tunic, put a bronze helmet on his head, and dressed him in armor.
39 Un Dāvids apjoza viņa zobenu pār savām drēbēm un sāka staigāt, jo viņš vēl to nebija ieradis. Un Dāvids sacīja uz Saulu: tā es nevaru iet, jo es to vēl neesmu ieradis. Un Dāvids to nolika no sevis nost.
David strapped his sword over the tunic and tried to walk, but he was not accustomed to them. “I cannot walk in these,” David said to Saul. “I am not accustomed to them.” So David took them off.
40 Un viņš ņēma savu zizli rokā un izlasījās piecus gludus oļus no upes un tās lika tai gana tarbā, kas viņam bija, proti tai kulē, un viņa linga bija viņa rokā. Tā tas gāja tam Fīlistam pretī.
And David took his staff in his hand, selected five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag. And with his sling in hand, he approached the Philistine.
41 Un tas Fīlists nāca Dāvidam arvien tuvāk, un viņa bruņu nesējs viņa priekšā.
Now the Philistine came closer and closer to David, with his shield-bearer before him.
42 Kad nu tas Fīlists skatījās un Dāvidu redzēja, tad viņš to izsmēja, jo tas bija jauneklis sarkaniem vaigiem un skaistu ģīmi.
When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him because he was just a boy, ruddy and handsome.
43 Un tas Fīlists sacīja uz Dāvidu: vai es esmu suns, ka tu ar koku pie manis nāci? Un tas Fīlists lādēja Dāvidu pie saviem dieviem.
“Am I a dog,” he said to David, “that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 Un tas Fīlists sacīja uz Dāvidu: nāc šurp pie manis, es tavu miesu došu putniem apakš debess un zvēriem laukā.
“Come here,” he called to David, “and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!”
45 Bet Dāvids sacīja uz to Fīlistu: tu nāci pie manis ar zobenu un šķēpu un priekšturamām bruņām, bet es nāku pie tevis Tā Kunga Cebaot vārdā, kas ir Israēla karapulku Dievs, ko tu esi zaimojis.
But David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
46 Šodien Tas Kungs tevi dos manā rokā, ka es tevi nokauju un tavu galvu no tevis atņemu un Fīlistu lēģera maitas dodu putniem apakš debess un zvēriem virs zemes, un visa pasaule atzīs, ka Israēlim ir Dievs.
This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand. This day I will strike you down, cut off your head, and give the carcasses of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the creatures of the earth. Then the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.
47 Un visi šie pulki atzīs, ka Tas Kungs neizglābj ar zobenu un šķēpu: jo tas karš pieder Tam Kungam, Tas jūs dos mūsu rokā.
And all those assembled here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and He will give all of you into our hands.”
48 Un notikās, kad nu tas Fīlists cēlās un nāca un Dāvidam tuvojās, tad Dāvids steidzās un skrēja uz tiem karapulkiem, tam Fīlistam pretī.
As the Philistine started forward to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.
49 Un Dāvids bāza roku tarbā un izņēma vienu oli un meta ar lingu un iesvieda tam Fīlistam pašā pierē, tā ka tas akmens viņa pierē ieskrēja, un tas krita uz savu vaigu pie zemes.
Then David reached into his bag, took out a stone, and slung it, striking the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
50 Tā Dāvids pārvarēja to Fīlistu ar lingu un ar oli, un kāva to Fīlistu un to nokāva, bet Dāvidam zobena nebija rokā.
Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
51 Tad Dāvids pieskrēja un piestājās pie tā Fīlista un ņēma viņa zobenu un to izvilka no makstīm un to nokāva un tam ar to nocirta galvu. Kad nu Fīlisti redzēja, ka viņu varenais bija miris, tad tie bēga.
David ran and stood over him. He grabbed the Philistine’s sword and pulled it from its sheath and killed him; and he cut off his head with the sword. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran.
52 Un Israēla un Jūda vīri cēlās un gavilēja un dzinās Fīlistiem pakaļ, kamēr nāk tai ielejā un līdz pašiem Ekronas vārtiem; un Fīlistu nokautie krita uz Zaārim ceļa un līdz Gatai un līdz Ekronai.
Then the men of Israel and Judah charged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath and to the gates of Ekron. And the bodies of the Philistines were strewn along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron.
53 Un Israēla bērni griezās atpakaļ no Fīlistu dzīšanas un aplaupīja viņu lēģeri.
When the Israelites returned from their pursuit of the Philistines, they plundered their camps.
54 Un Dāvids ņēma tā Fīlista galvu un to nonesa uz Jeruzālemi, bet viņa bruņas viņš nolika savā teltī.
David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, and he put Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.
55 Bet kad Sauls redzēja Dāvidu izejam pret to Fīlistu, tad tas uz Abneru, to kara lielkungu, sacīja: kam dēls ir šis jauneklis, Abner? Tad Abners sacīja: tik tiešām kā tava dvēsele dzīvo, ķēniņ, to es nezinu.
As Saul had watched David going out to confront the Philistine, he said to Abner the commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is this young man?” “As surely as you live, O king,” Abner replied, “I do not know.”
56 Tad ķēniņš sacīja: vaicā jel, kam dēls šis jauneklis ir?
“Find out whose son this young man is!” said the king.
57 Kad nu Dāvids atpakaļ griezās no tā Fīlista kaušanas, tad Abners viņu ņēma un veda Saula priekšā, un tā Fīlista galva bija viņa rokā.
So when David returned from killing the Philistine, still holding his head in his hand, Abner took him and brought him before Saul.
58 Un Sauls uz to sacīja: kam dēls tu esi, puisi? Dāvids sacīja: tava kalpa Isajus, tā Bētlemieša, dēls.
“Whose son are you, young man?” asked Saul. “I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem,” David replied.
