Pirmā Samuela 2
1 Tad Anna pielūdza un sacīja: “Mana sirds lec no prieka iekš Tā Kunga, mans rags ir paaugstināts iekš Tā Kunga; mana mute ir atvērta pret maniem ienaidniekiem, jo es priecājos par Tavu pestīšanu.
And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart is glad in the Lord, my horn is exalted through the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over my enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.
2 Neviens nav svēts, kā Tas Kungs, neviens, kā Tu vien, un nekāds patvērums nav, kā mūsu Dievs.
There is none holy like the Lord; for there is none beside thee; and there is not any rock like our God.
3 Nedaudzinājiet runu augsti jo augsti, blēņas lai paliek nost no jūsu mutes; jo Tas Kungs ir Dievs, tas visu zinātājs, Viņš sver tos darbus.
Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogance come out of your mouth; for a God of knowledge is the Lord, and by him are actions weighed.
4 Vareniem stops ir salauzts, un vājie ir apjozti ar stiprumu;
The bow of the mighty is broken, and those that stumbled are girded with strength.
5 Paēdušie sader par maizi, un izsalkušie vairs nav izsalkuši. Pati neauglīgā dzemdē septiņus, kam bija daudz bērnu, tā savīst.
They that were full hire themselves out for bread; and they that were hungry cease [from labor]: while the barren hath born seven, she that hath many children fadeth away.
The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. (Sheol h7585)
7 Tas Kungs dara nabagu un dara bagātu, Viņš pazemo un paaugstina.
The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich: he bringeth low and also lifteth up.
8 Viņš uzceļ nabagu no pīšļiem, un bēdīgo Viņš paaugstina no dubļiem, ka Viņš tos sēdina starp lieliem kungiem un tiem liek iemantot goda krēslu; jo zemes pamati pieder Tam Kungam, un Viņš uz tiem pasauli licis.
He raiseth up out of the dust the poor, from the dunghill he lifteth up the needy, to set them among nobles, and he assigneth them the throne of glory; for the Lord's are the pillars of the earth, on which he hath set the world.
9 Savu svēto kājas Viņš pasargā; bet tie bezdievīgie tumsībā iet bojā: jo neviens nav varens caur (savu) spēku.
He ever guardeth the feet of his pious ones, and the wicked shall be made silent in darkness; for not by strength can man prevail.
10 Tas Kungs - Viņa pretinieki top iztrūcināti, debesīs pār tiem Viņš liek pērkoniem rūkt. Tas Kungs tiesās zemes galus un dos Savam ķēniņam spēku un paaugstinās Sava svaidītā ragu.”
The Lord—his adversaries will be crushed; out of heaven will he thunder upon them: the Lord will judge the ends of the earth; and he will give strength unto his king, and lift up the horn of his anointed.
11 Un Elkanus nogāja uz Rāmatu savā namā, bet tas zēns kalpoja Tam Kungam priestera Elus priekšā.
And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the lad was ministering unto the Lord before 'Eli the priest.
12 Bet Elus dēli bija netikli, tie neatzina To Kungu.
And the sons of 'Eli were worthless men: they knew not the Lord.
13 Un priesteru ieradums ar ļaudīm bija: kad kāds upuri upurēja, tad priestera puisis nāca, kamēr tā gaļa vārījās, - un tam dakšas ar trim zariem bija rokā, -
And the custom of the priests with the people was, that, when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while [the man] was seething the flesh, with a fork with three teeth in his hand;
14 Un bakstīja grāpī vai katlā vai pannā vai podā. Ko nu tās dakšas uzvilka, to priesteris ņēma priekš sevis. Tā tie darīja visiem Israēla ļaudīm, kas tur nāca uz Šīlo.
And he struck it into the pan, or the kettle, or the caldron, or the pot; [and] all that the fork brought up the priest took away with it. So did they unto all the Israelites that came thither, to Shiloh.
15 Un pirms tie tos taukus iededzināja, priestera puisis nāca un sacīja uz to vīru, kas upurēja: dod gaļas priesterim priekš cepeša, jo viņš no tevis negrib vārītu gaļu, bet jēlu.
Even before they had yet burnt the fat, the priest's servant would come, and say to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not take from thee sodden flesh, but raw.
16 Ja kas uz to sacīja: pašu laiku(vispirms) tos taukus iededzinās, tad ņem priekš sevis, kā tava sirds kāro, - tad šis uz to sacīja: nupat tev būs dot, un ja ne, tad es ņemšu ar varu.
And if the man said unto him, They will surely presently burn the fat, and then take whatever thy soul may long for: then would he say, No; but thou shalt give it me now; and if not, I will take it by force.
17 Tā šo puišu grēki bija ļoti lieli Tā Kunga priekšā, jo šie vīri nicināja Tā Kunga ēdamo upuri. -
And the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord; for the men despised the offering of the Lord.
18 Bet Samuēls kalpoja Tā Kunga priekšā, puisis būdams, apjozts ar nātnu efodu.
But Samuel was ministering before the Lord, being a lad, girded with a linen ephod.
19 Un māte viņam taisīja mazus svārciņus un tos viņam nesa ik gadus, kad ar savu vīru nāca, gadskārtējo upuri upurēt.
Moreover his mother used to make him a little overcoat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
20 Un Elus svētīja Elkanu un viņa sievu un sacīja: lai Tas Kungs tev dod dzimumu no šās sievas, par to izlūgto, ko viņa no Tā Kunga ir izlūgusi. Un tie gāja uz savu māju.
And 'Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, May the Lord give thee seed from this woman instead of the loan who is lent to the Lord. And they went back unto his place.
21 Un Tas Kungs piemeklēja Annu un tā tapa grūta un dzemdēja trīs dēlus un divas meitas. Bet tas puisītis Samuēls uzauga pie Tā Kunga.
And truly the Lord visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the lad Samuel grew up before the Lord.
22 Un Elus bija ļoti vecs un dzirdēja visu, ko viņa dēli visam Israēlim darīja, un ka tie gulēja pie tām sievām, kas sapulcējās priekš saiešanas telts durvīm.
Now 'Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons were in the habit of doing unto all Israel; and how they would lie with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
23 Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: kāpēc jūs darāt tādas lietas? Kā es par jums tādu neslavu dzirdu no visiem šiem ļaudīm?
And he said unto them, Why will ye do such things? for I hear of your evil dealings from all this people.
24 Nē, mani bērni, tā nav laba slava, ko es dzirdu, jo jūs darāt Tā Kunga ļaudis pārkāpjam.
No, my sons; for the report that I hear is not good, which the Lord's people spread abroad.
25 Kad cilvēks pret cilvēku grēko, tad tiesas kungi to izlīdzina, bet kad cilvēks pret To Kungu grēko, kas priekš tāda var aizlūgt? Bet tie neklausīja sava tēva balsi, jo Tas Kungs tos gribēja nokaut.
If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him; but if against the Lord a man should sin, who shall pray for him? Nevertheless would they not hearken unto the voice of their father, because the Lord desired to slay them.
26 Un tas puisis Samuēls augdams auga un patika gan Tam Kungam, gan tiem ļaudīm.
And the lad Samuel was constantly growing and increasing in favor both with the Lord, and also with men.
27 Un viens Dieva vīrs nāca pie Elus un uz to sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs: vai Es neesmu skaidri parādījies tava tēva namam, kad tie bija Ēģiptes zemē Faraona namā,
And there came a man of God unto 'Eli, and said unto him, Thus hath said the Lord, Did I [not] appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt, in Pharaoh's house?
28 Un to no visām Israēla ciltīm Sev esmu licis par priesteri, upurēt uz Mana altāra, kvēpināmās zāles iededzināt un to plecu apsegu nest Manā priekšā, un Es tava tēva namam esmu devis visus Israēla bērnu uguns upurus.
And did I [not] choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to me as a priest, to offer upon my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I [not] give unto the house of thy father all the fire-offerings of the children of Israel?
29 Kāpēc tad jūs kājām minat Manu upuri un Manu ēdamo upuri, ko Es esmu pavēlējis (nest Manā) dzīvoklī? Un tu godā savus dēlus vairāk nekā Mani, ka jūs barojaties no visu Manu Israēla ļaužu upuru pirmajiem.
Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at my meat-offering, which I have commanded in [my] habitation? and [why] honoredst thou thy sons above me, to fatten yourselves with the first of every offering of Israel my people?
30 Tādēļ Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, saka: gan Es biju skaidri sacījis: tavam namam un tava tēva namam bija Manā priekšā staigāt mūžīgi. Bet nu Tas Kungs saka: nemūžam nē, bet kas Mani godā, tos Es godāju, un kas Mani nicina, tie paliek kaunā.
Therefore saith the Lord the God of Israel, I had indeed said, Thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever; but now, saith the Lord, Be it far from me; for those that honor me will I honor, and those that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
31 Redzi, nāk dienas, tad Es nocirtīšu tavu elkoni un tava tēva nama elkoni, tā ka neviena veca vairs nebūs tavā namā.
Behold, days are coming, that I will hew off thy arm, and the arm of thy father's house, so that there shall not be an old man in thy house.
32 Un tu redzēsi (Dieva) dzīvokļa bēdas pie visa, ko Viņš Israēlim labu darīs, un veca nebūs tavā namā nemūžam.
And thou shalt behold a rival in my habitation, in all that by which he will do good for Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thy house in all times.
33 Tomēr visus Es tev neizdeldēšu no Mana altāra, ka tavām acīm būs īgt un tavai dvēselei iztvīkt, bet viss tava nama dzimums mirs vīra gados.
And yet I will not cut off the men descended from thee from my altar, to consume thy eyes, and to grieve thy soul: and all the increase of thy house shall die as [vigorous] men.
34 Šī nu būs tā zīme, kas nāks pār taviem abiem dēliem, par Hofnu un Pinehasu: vienā dienā abi mirs.
And this shall be unto thee the sign, that shall happen on thy two sons, on Chophni and Phinehas: On one day shall they, both of them, die.
35 Un Es Sev celšu uzticīgu priesteri; tas darīs pēc Manas sirds un dvēseles, tam Es uztaisīšu pastāvīgu namu, un tas staigās priekš Mana svaidītā vienmēr.
And I will raise up to me a faithful priest, who shall do in accordance with what is in my heart and in my mind; and I will build for him an enduring house; and he shall walk before my anointed in all times.
36 Un kas vēl atliks no tava nama, nāks un klanīsies priekš viņa par naudas artavu un par maizes riecienu un sacīs: pieņem mani lūdzams kādā priestera amatā, ka dabūju maizes kumosu, ko ēst.
And it shall come to pass, that whoever is left in thy house shall come to bow down to him for a gera of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, Attach me, I pray thee, unto one of the priestly offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
