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 urged all his servants and his son Jonathan to kill David. But Jonathan liked David very much.
2 Un Jonatāns Dāvidam to teica sacīdams: mans tēvs Sauls tevi meklē nokaut; nu tad, sargies jel rītu un paslēpies.
So he warned David, “My father Saul is seeking for a way to kill you. So be careful. Tomorrow morning go and find a place to hide [in the field].
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 will ask my father to go out there with me. [While we are out there], I will talk to him about you. Then I will tell you everything that he tells me.” [So David did what Jonathan told him to do].
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.
[The next morning], Jonathan spoke with his father, saying many good things about David. He said, “You should never do anything to harm your servant David! He has never done anything to harm you! Everything that he has done has helped you very much.
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 was in danger of being killed when he fought against [Goliath, the champion of] the Philistia [army. By enabling David to kill him], Yahweh won a great victory for all the people of Israel. You were very happy when you saw that. Why would you want to do anything now to harm David [RHQ]? There is no reason for you to kill him, because he has not done anything wrong!”
6 Un Sauls paklausīja Jonatāna balsij, un Sauls nozvērējās: tik tiešām ka Tas Kungs dzīvo, tam nebūs nokautam tapt.
Saul listened to what Jonathan said. Then Saul said, “I solemnly promise that just as certain as Yahweh lives, I will not kill David.”
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.
Afterward, Jonathan summoned David and told him what he and Saul had said. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and David served Saul as he had done before.
8 Tad atkal karš cēlās, un Dāvids izgāja un karoja ar Fīlistiem un tos kāva ar lielu kaušanu, un tie bēga viņa priekšā.
One day a war started again, and David [led his soldiers to] fight against the Philistia army. David’s [army] attacked them very furiously, with the result that the Philistia army ran away.
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.
But one day when sitting in his house, an evil spirit [sent] from Yahweh [suddenly] came upon Saul. While David was playing his harp [for Saul],
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 hurled his spear at David to try to fasten him to the wall. David (dodged/jumped to one side), and the spear did not hit him. The spear stuck in the wall, but that night David escaped.
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.
Then Saul sent messengers to David’s house. He told them to watch the house and to kill David [while he was leaving the house] the following morning. But David’s wife Michal [saw them and] warned him, “To survive, you must run away tonight, because if you do not do that, you will be killed tomorrow!”
12 Un Mikale nolaida Dāvidu pa logu zemē, un tas nogāja un bēga un izglābās.
So she enabled David to climb out through a window, and he ran away and escaped.
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 Michal took an idol and put it in the bed. She covered it with some [of David’s] clothes, and put some goat’s hair on the head of the idol.
14 Un Sauls sūtīja vīrus, Dāvidu atvest, bet tā sacīja: viņš ir slims.
When the messengers came [to the house the next morning], she told them that David was sick [and could not get out of bed].
15 Tad Sauls sūtīja vīrus, Dāvidu aplūkot un sacīja: atnesiet to ar gultu pie manis, ka tas top nokauts.
[When they reported that to] Saul, he told them to go back to David’s house. He said to them, “Bring him to me lying on his bed, in order that I can kill him!”
16 Kad nu tie vīri ienāca, redzi, tad tēls bija gultā, un kazu spalvas audums viņa galvgalā.
But when those men entered David’s house, they saw that there was only an idol in the bed, with goat’s hair 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?
[When they reported that to Saul, ] Saul [summoned] Michal [and] said to her, “Why did you trick me like that? You allowed my enemy to escape!” Michal replied to Saul, “David told me that if I did not help him escape, he would kill me!” [RHQ]
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.
After David had escaped from Saul, he went to Samuel, who was [at his home] at Ramah. He told Samuel everything that Saul had done to [try to kill] him. Then David and Samuel went to Naioth, [which was a section] of [Ramah city], and they stayed there.
19 Un Saulam teica un sacīja: redzi, Dāvids ir Najotā pie Rāmatas.
Someone told Saul that David was in Naioth.
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.
So Saul sent some messengers to capture David. [When] those messengers [arrived in Ramah, they] met some men who were proclaiming ecstatic messages, and Samuel was there, as their leader. When Saul’s messengers met them, the Spirit of God took control of Saul’s men, and they also spoke ecstatically.
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.
When Saul heard about that, he sent messengers a third time, but they also started to speak ecstatically.
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.
Finally, Saul himself went to Ramah. When he arrived at the well at [a place named] Secu, he asked people there, “Where are Samuel and David?” The people replied, “They are at Naioth in Ramah [city].”
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.
While Saul was walking toward Naioth, the Spirit of God also took control of him. [While he walked on], he continued speaking ecstatic messages until he came to 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?
There he took off his clothes, and he spoke messages from God in front of Samuel. He lay on the ground doing that all day and all night. That is the reason that [when people see someone doing something that is very unexpected, they think about what happened to Saul, and] they say, “We are surprised, like the people were surprised to see Saul [acting like] a prophet?” [RHQ]
