Pirmā Samuela 19
1 Tad Sauls runāja ar savu dēlu Jonatānu un ar visiem saviem kalpiem, ka tie Dāvidu nokautu. Bet Jonatānam, Saula dēlam, bija labs prāts uz Dāvidu.
Then Saul instructed his son Jonathan and all his officials to kill David. But Jonathan really liked David,
2 Un Jonatāns Dāvidam to teica sacīdams: mans tēvs Sauls tevi meklē nokaut; nu tad, sargies jel rītu un paslēpies.
so he warned him, “My father Saul is trying to kill you. So be careful tomorrow morning—find a place to hide and stay hidden.
3 Bet es iziešu un stāvēšu savam tēvam sānis laukā, kur tu būsi, un runāšu ar savu tēvu tevis pēc un redzēšu, kas tur būs, un tev to sacīšu.
I'll go out with my father and stand in the field near to where you are hiding. I'll talk to him about you and see what I can find out, then I'll let you know.”
4 Tad Jonatāns runāja labu no Dāvida uz savu tēvu Saulu un uz to sacīja: lai ķēniņš neapgrēkojās pret savu kalpu Dāvidu, jo viņš pret tevi nav grēkojis, un viņa darbi tev nāk varen ļoti par labu.
Then Jonathan spoke positively about David to his father Saul, and told him, “The king should not do anything bad to his servant David because he's not done anything bad to you—he has always served you well.
5 Jo viņš savu dzīvību ir licis savā rokā un to Fīlistu kāvis, un Tas Kungs ir devis lielu pestīšanu visam Israēlim. To tu esi redzējis un priecājies, kāpēc tad tu gribētu apgrēkoties pret nenoziedzīgām asinīm, Dāvidu bez vainas nokaudams.
He took his life in his hands when he killed the Philistine, and the Lord brought about great salvation for the whole of Israel. You saw it and you were delighted, so why would you sin and spill innocent blood by killing David without having any reason?”
6 Un Sauls paklausīja Jonatāna balsij, un Sauls nozvērējās: tik tiešām ka Tas Kungs dzīvo, tam nebūs nokautam tapt.
Saul accepted what Jonathan had to say, and promised with an oath: “I swear on the life of the Lord, he won't be put to death.”
7 Un Jonatāns aicināja Dāvidu, un Jonatāns sacīja Dāvidam visus šos vārdus. Un Jonatāns veda Dāvidu Saula priekšā, un viņš bija šī priekšā kā citkārt.
Later Jonathan called David and told him all that had been said. Then he took him to Saul, and David worked for Saul as he had before.
8 Tad atkal karš cēlās, un Dāvids izgāja un karoja ar Fīlistiem un tos kāva ar lielu kaušanu, un tie bēga viņa priekšā.
War broke out once again, and David went to fight the Philistines. He attacked them so forcefully that they ran away in defeat.
9 Bet ļauns gars no Tā Kunga nāca pār Saulu, un tas sēdēja savā namā, un viņa šķēps bija viņa rokā, un Dāvids spēlēja uz stīgām ar roku.
A while later an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul while he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. As David played the lyre,
10 Tad Sauls gribēja Dāvidu nodurt ar to šķēpu pie sienas, bet šis novērsās no Saula, un tas šķēps ieskrēja sienā; un Dāvids bēga un izbēga tai pašā naktī.
Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear. David managed to dodge the spear which embedded itself in the wall. Then David escaped and ran away into the night.
11 Tad Sauls sūtīja vīrus Dāvida namā viņu sargāt un rītu nokaut. Bet Mikale, viņa sieva, to viņam teica un sacīja: ja tu šo nakti savu dzīvību neglābsi, tad tu rītu tapsi nokauts.
Saul sent some messengers to David's house to keep watch and kill him in the morning. But Michal, David's wife, warned him, “If you don't get away tonight, tomorrow you'll be killed.”
12 Un Mikale nolaida Dāvidu pa logu zemē, un tas nogāja un bēga un izglābās.
Michal lowered David down from a window, and he ran off, managing to escape.
13 Un Mikale ņēma vienu tēlu un to lika uz gultu, un vienu kazu spalvas audumu tam lika galvgalā un to apsedza ar deķi.
Then she took a home idol and laid it in the bed, put a goat hair wig on its head, and covered it with bedclothes.
14 Un Sauls sūtīja vīrus, Dāvidu atvest, bet tā sacīja: viņš ir slims.
When Saul sent the messengers to arrest David, Michal told them, “He's sick.”
15 Tad Sauls sūtīja vīrus, Dāvidu aplūkot un sacīja: atnesiet to ar gultu pie manis, ka tas top nokauts.
Saul sent the messengers back to see David, saying, “Bring him to me in the bed so I can kill him.”
16 Kad nu tie vīri ienāca, redzi, tad tēls bija gultā, un kazu spalvas audums viņa galvgalā.
But when the messengers went into the bedroom, there was the idol in the bed with the goat hair wig on its head.
17 Tad Sauls sacīja uz Mikali: kāpēc tu mani tā esi pievīlusi un manu ienaidnieku atlaidusi, ka tas ir aizbēdzis? Bet Mikale sacīja uz Saulu: viņš uz mani sacīja: atlaid mani, kāpēc man tevi būs nokaut?
“Why did you trick me like this—helping my enemy get away so he could escape?” Saul asked Michal. “He told me, ‘Get out of my way! I don't want to have to kill you!’” Michal replied.
18 Tā Dāvids bēga un izglābās un nāca pie Samuēla uz Rāmatu, un stāstīja tam visu, ko Sauls tam bija darījis, un gāja līdz ar Samuēli un palika Najotā.
This is how David got away and escaped. He went to Samuel at Ramah and explained to him everything that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to stay in Naioth.
19 Un Saulam teica un sacīja: redzi, Dāvids ir Najotā pie Rāmatas.
When Saul got to hear that David was at Naioth in Ramah,
20 Tad Sauls sūtīja vīrus, Dāvidu atvest. Kad tie nu redzēja vienu praviešu pulku runājam praviešu vārdus un Samuēli pie viņiem stāvam par uzraugu, tad Dieva Gars nāca par Saula vīriem, ka tie arī praviešu vārdus runāja.
he sent messengers to arrest him. But when they saw a group of prophets prophesying with Samuel leading out, the Spirit of God came on Saul's messengers and they started prophesying too.
21 Un kad tas Saulam tapa sacīts, tad viņš sūtīja citus vīrus, - un arī tie runāja praviešu vārdus. Tad Sauls sūtīja vēl trešos vīrus, - tie arīdzan runāja praviešu vārdus.
Saul was told what had happened, so he sent more messengers, and they started prophesying as well.
22 Tad viņš arī pats gāja uz Rāmatu un nāca pie tās lielās akas, kas bija pie Sehus, un vaicāja sacīdams: kur ir Samuēls un Dāvids? Un viņam sacīja: redzi, Najotā pie Rāmatas.
For the third time Saul sent messengers, and they also started prophesying.
23 Tad viņš gāja uz turieni, uz Najotu pie Rāmatas. Un Dieva Gars nāca arī uz viņu un tas gāja praviešu vārdus runādams, kamēr viņš nāca uz Najotu pie Rāmatas.
In the end Saul went himself to Ramah and arrived at the large cistern at Secu. “Where are Samuel and David?” he asked. “At Naioth in Ramah,” someone told him. So Saul went on to Naioth at Ramah, but the Spirit of God even came on him, and he was prophesying as he walked along until he arrived in Naioth.
24 Un arī viņš tur novilka savas drēbes un runāja praviešu vārdus Samuēla priekšā, un viņš krita kails pie zemes cauru dienu un cauru nakti. Tāpēc saka: vai Sauls arī starp praviešiem?
Then Saul also took off his clothes and he too prophesied in Samuel's presence. Then he fell down and lay there naked all that day and all that night. That's why it is said, “Is Saul one of the prophets too?”
