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.
The Philistines gathered their army [to fight the Israeli army]. They gathered together near Socoh, in the area where the descendants of Judah lived. They set up their tents at Ephes-Dammim, which is between Socoh and Azekah.
2 Bet Sauls un Israēla vīri sapulcējās un apmetās ozolu ielejā un taisījās karot pret Fīlistiem.
Saul gathered the Israeli army near Elah Valley, and they set up their tents. Then they all took their places, ready to fight the Philistines.
3 Un Fīlisti stāvēja uz kalna viņā pusē, un Israēla ļaudis stāvēja uz kalna šai pusē, un ieleja bija viņu starpā.
So the Philistine and Israeli armies faced each other. They were on two hills, with a 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 Goliath, from Gath [city], came out from the Philistine camp. He was a champion warrior/soldier. He was (over 9 feet/3 meters) tall.
5 Un tam bija vara cepure uz galvas un tam bija zvīņainas krūšu-bruņas un, tas krūšu bruņu svars bija pieci tūkstoši sēķeļu vara,
He wore a helmet made of bronze [to protect his head], and he wore a coat made of metal plates [to protect his body]. The coat weighed (125 pounds/56 kg.).
6 Un lielu bruņas no vara ap lieliem, un vara šķēps uz pleciem.
He wore bronze guards/protectors on his legs. He had a long bronze dagger fastened on his back.
7 Un viņa šķēpa kāts bija kā riestava un viņa šķēpa asmens bija no sešsimt sēķeliem dzelzs, un tas bruņu nesējs gāja viņa priekšā.
He also had a big spear. It had a cord on it to enable him to throw it better (OR, which was as thick as a weaver’s beam). The tip of the spear was made of iron and weighed (15 pounds/almost 7 kg.). A soldier carrying a huge shield walked in front of 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.
Goliath stood there and shouted to the Israeli army, “Why are you all lined up for battle? I am the great Philistine [soldier], and I think [RHQ] you are [merely] Saul’s slaves. Choose one man to fight for all of you, and send him down here to 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 fights with me and kills me, then my fellow Philistines will all be your slaves. But if I defeat him and kill him, then you Israelis will all be our slaves.
10 Un tas Fīlists sacīja: es šodien Israēla pulkus esmu lamājis; dodiet man vienu vīru, ka mēs viens ar otru cīkstamies.
I defy/challenge you men of the Israeli army. Send me a man who will fight with me!”
11 Kad nu Sauls un viss Israēls šos Fīlista vārdus dzirdēja, tad tie iztrūcinājās un bijās ļoti. -
When Saul and all the Israeli soldiers heard that, they were extremely terrified [DOU].
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.
David was the son of Jesse. Jesse was from the clan of Ephrath. He lived in Bethlehem, in the area where the descendants of Judah lived. Jesse had eight sons. When Saul [was king], Jesse had already become a very old man [DOU].
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.
Jesse’s three oldest sons, Eliab and Abinadab and Shammah, had gone with Saul to fight [the Philistines].
14 Un Dāvids bija tas jaunākais; un tie trīs vecākie Saulam bija gājuši līdz.
David was Jesse’s youngest son. While his three oldest brothers were with Saul,
15 Bet Dāvids gāja un nāca no Saula, sava tēva avis ganīt Bētlemē.
David went back and forth: Sometimes he went to Saul’s camp, and sometimes he stayed in Bethlehem to take care of his father’s sheep.
16 Bet tas Fīlists izgāja rītos un vakaros un rādījās tur četrdesmit dienas.
For 40 days Goliath came out from the Philistine camp and stood there [taunting the Israeli army/telling the Israelis to choose one man to fight with him]. He did it twice each day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
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 David, “Here is a sack of roasted grain and ten loaves of bread. Take these quickly to your [older] brothers.
18 Bet šos desmit sierus nones tam virsniekam par tūkstoš, un apmeklē savus brāļus, kā tiem klājās, un ņem vienu zīmi no tiem.
And here are ten large chunks of cheese. Take them to their commander. And see how things are going with your [older] brothers. Then [if they are okay, ] bring back something to show they are all right.”
19 Bet Sauls un šie un visi Israēla vīri bija ozolu ielejā, ar Fīlistiem karodami.
His brothers were with Saul and all the other Israeli soldiers, camped alongside Elah Valley, [preparing to] fight 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 arranged for another shepherd to take care of the sheep. Early the next morning he took the food and went to the Israeli camp, as Jesse told him to do. He arrived there just as the Israeli soldiers were forming their ranks and going out to the battlefield. As they went, they were shouting a war cry.
21 Un Israēlieši un Fīlisti nostājās uz kaušanos, pulks pret pulku.
The Philistine army and the Israeli army stood [on the hillsides], facing each other, ready for the battle.
22 Tad Dāvids nolika tos traukus pie tā rīku sarga un skrēja pie tiem karapulkiem un nāca un apsveicināja savus brāļus.
David gave the food to the man who was taking care of the war equipment. [He told him to take care of the food that he brought], and then he went and greeted his older brothers.
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.
While he was talking with them, he saw Goliath coming out from among the Philistine soldiers, shouting [to the Israelis], challenging them [to send a man to fight him]. David heard what Goliath was saying.
24 Bet visi Israēla vīri, kad tie šo vīru redzēja, tad tie priekš viņa bēga un bijās ļoti.
When all the Israeli soldiers saw Goliath, they were terrified and started to ran away.
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.
They were saying to each other, “Look at him coming up toward us! And listen to him as he defies us Israelis! The king says that he will give a big reward to whoever kills this man. He also says that he will give his daughter to that man for him to marry her, and that he will no longer require that man’s family to pay taxes.”
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 talked to some of the men who were standing near him. He said, “What will be given to whoever kills this Philistine and frees us Israelis from this shame/disgrace? And who [does] this heathen Philistine [think he] is, defying/ridiculing the army that serves the all-powerful God?”
27 Tad tie ļaudis viņam teica tos pašus vārdus un sacīja: tā un tā tam vīram darīs, kas viņu nokaus.
They told him the same thing that the other men had said, about what the king would do for anyone who killed Goliath.
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.
But when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard David talking to the men, he was angry. He said to David, “Why have you come down here? Is someone taking care of those few sheep that you left in the desert? I know you are just a (smart-aleck/brat)! You just want to watch the battle!”
29 Tad Dāvids sacīja: ko tad nu es esmu darījis? Vai man nav brīvi runāt?
David replied, “Have I done something wrong? I was merely asking 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 walked over to another man and asked him the same question, but the man gave him the same answer. Each time he asked someone, he received the same answer.
31 Kad nu šie vārdi tapa dzirdēti, ko Dāvids runāja, un Saulam tapa sacīti, tad viņš to lika atvest.
Finally, someone told king Saul what David had asked, and Saul sent someone to bring David to him.
32 Un Dāvids sacīja uz Saulu: lai nevienam sirds nezūd viņa pēc. Tavs kalps noies un kausies ar šo Fīlistu.
David told king Saul, “No one should (worry/become a coward) because of that Philistine man. I will go and fight with 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.
Saul said to David, “You are only a young man, and he has been a very capable soldier all his life. So you are not able to go and fight with him!”
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, “I have been taking care of my father’s sheep [for many years]. Whenever a lion or a bear came and carried away a lamb,
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 the lion or the bear and attacked it and rescued the lamb from the wild animal’s mouth. Then I grabbed the animal by its jaw/throat and struck it and killed 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.
I have killed both lions and bears. And [I will do] the same to this heathen Philistine, because he has defied/ridiculed the army of the all-powerful God!
37 Un Dāvids sacīja: Tas Kungs, kas mani pestījis no lauvas un no lāča, mani arī atpestīs no šā Fīlista rokas.
Yahweh has rescued me from paws of lions and bears, and he will rescue me from this Philistine!” Then Saul said to David, “All right, go [and fight him], and [I hope/desire] that Yahweh will help 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 gave to David his own clothes that he always wore in battles, and he gave him a bronze helmet and a coat made of metal plates.
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 [put these things on. Then he] fastened his sword over them, and tried to walk. But he could not walk, because he was not accustomed to wearing those things. So David said to Saul, “I cannot fight wearing all these things, because I am not accustomed to [wearing] them!” So he 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.
Then he took his walking/shepherd’s stick, and he picked up five smooth stones from the brook/stream. He put them in the pouch of his shoulder-bag. Then he put his sling in his hand and started walking toward Goliath.
41 Un tas Fīlists nāca Dāvidam arvien tuvāk, un viņa bruņu nesējs viņa priekšā.
Goliath walked toward David, with the soldier who was carrying his shield walking in front of him. When he got near David,
42 Kad nu tas Fīlists skatījās un Dāvidu redzēja, tad viņš to izsmēja, jo tas bija jauneklis sarkaniem vaigiem un skaistu ģīmi.
he looked at David closely. He saw that David had a handsome face and healthy body, but that he was only a young man. So he sneered at David.
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.
He said to David, “Are you coming to me with a stick because [you think that] I am a dog?” Then he called out to his gods to harm David.
44 Un tas Fīlists sacīja uz Dāvidu: nāc šurp pie manis, es tavu miesu došu putniem apakš debess un zvēriem laukā.
He said to David, “Come here to me, and I will [kill you and] give your dead body to the birds and wild animals to eat!”
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.
David replied, “You are coming to me with a sword and a dagger and a spear. But I am coming to you (in the name/with the authority) of almighty Yahweh. He is the God whom the army of Israel [worships], and he is the God whom you have defied/ridiculed.
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.
Today Yahweh will enable me to defeat you. I will strike you down and cut off your head. And [we Israelis will kill] many Philistine [soldiers and] give their bodies to the birds and wild animals to eat. And everyone in the world will [hear about it and] know that we Israeli people worship an [all-powerful] God.
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 everyone here will know that Yahweh can rescue people without a sword or a spear. Yahweh always wins his battles, and he will enable us to defeat all of you [Philistines].”
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 Goliath came closer to attack David, David ran quickly toward 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.
He put his hand into his shoulder-bag and took out one stone. He [put it in his sling and] hurled it toward Goliath. The stone hit Goliath on the forehead and penetrated his skull, and he fell face down onto 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.
Then David ran and stood over Goliath. He pulled Goliath’s sword from its sheath and killed him with it, and then cut off his head. In that way David defeated the Philistine without having his own sword. He used [only] a sling and a stone! When the other Philistines saw that their great warrior was dead, they ran away.
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.
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.
The Israeli men shouted and ran after them. They pursued them all the way to Gath and to the gates of Ekron [city]. They struck them as they went, with the result that dead/wounded Philistines were lying on the road all the way from Shaaraim to Gath and Ekron [towns].
53 Un Israēla bērni griezās atpakaļ no Fīlistu dzīšanas un aplaupīja viņu lēģeri.
When the Israelis returned from chasing the Philistines, they (plundered/took everything from) the Philistine camp.
54 Un Dāvids ņēma tā Fīlista galvu un to nonesa uz Jeruzālemi, bet viņa bruņas viņš nolika savā teltī.
David later took the head of Goliath to Jerusalem, but he kept 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 watched David going toward Goliath, he said to Abner, the commanded of his army, “Abner, whose son is that young man?” Abner replied, “(As sure as you are alive/Truly) [IDM], I do not know.”
56 Tad ķēniņš sacīja: vaicā jel, kam dēls šis jauneklis ir?
Then the king said, “Find out whose son he is!”
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.
[Later, ] as David returned from killing Goliath, Abner took him to Saul. David was carrying Goliath’s head.
58 Un Sauls uz to sacīja: kam dēls tu esi, puisi? Dāvids sacīja: tava kalpa Isajus, tā Bētlemieša, dēls.
Saul asked him, “Young man, whose son are you?” David replied, “[Sir, perhaps you have forgotten that] I am the son of your servant Jesse, who has served you faithfully, who lives in Bethlehem.”
