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.
Hannah prayed and said, “My heart exults in Yahweh. My horn is exalted in Yahweh. My mouth boasts over my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation.
2 Neviens nav svēts, kā Tas Kungs, neviens, kā Tu vien, un nekāds patvērums nav, kā mūsu Dievs.
There is no one holy like Yahweh, for there is none besides you; there is no 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.
Boast no more so very proudly; let no arrogance come out of your mouth. For Yahweh is a God of knowledge; by him actions are weighed.
4 Vareniem stops ir salauzts, un vājie ir apjozti ar stiprumu;
The bow of the mighty men are broken, but those who stumble put on strength like a belt.
5 Paēdušie sader par maizi, un izsalkušie vairs nav izsalkuši. Pati neauglīgā dzemdē septiņus, kam bija daudz bērnu, tā savīst.
Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread; those who were hungry have stopped being hungry. Even the barren one gives birth to seven, but the woman who has many children languishes.
Yahweh kills and brings to life. He brings down to Sheol and raises up. (Sheol h7585)
7 Tas Kungs dara nabagu un dara bagātu, Viņš pazemo un paaugstina.
Yahweh makes some people poor and some rich. He humbles, but he also lifts 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 raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts the needy from the ash heap to make them sit with princes and inherit the seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth are Yahweh's and he has set the world upon them.
9 Savu svēto kājas Viņš pasargā; bet tie bezdievīgie tumsībā iet bojā: jo neviens nav varens caur (savu) spēku.
He will guard the feet of his faithful people, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness, for no one will prevail by strength.
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.”
Those who oppose Yahweh will be broken to pieces; he will thunder against them from heaven. Yahweh will judge the ends of the earth; he will give strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed.”
11 Un Elkanus nogāja uz Rāmatu savā namā, bet tas zēns kalpoja Tam Kungam priestera Elus priekšā.
Then Elkanah went to Ramah, to his house. The child served Yahweh in the presence of Eli the priest.
12 Bet Elus dēli bija netikli, tie neatzina To Kungu.
Now the sons of Eli were worthless men. They did not know Yahweh.
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, -
The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest's servant would come with a three-pronged fork in his hand, while the meat was boiling.
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.
He would stick it into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot. All that the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. They did this in Shiloh with all the Israelites that came there.
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.
Worse, before they burned the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man who was sacrificing, “Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but only 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.
If the man said to him, “They must burn the fat first, and then take as much as you want.” Then he would say, “No, you will give it me now; 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. -
The sin of these young men was very great before Yahweh, for they despised Yahweh's offering.
18 Bet Samuēls kalpoja Tā Kunga priekšā, puisis būdams, apjozts ar nātnu efodu.
But Samuel served Yahweh as a child clothed 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.
His mother would make him a little robe and bring 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.
Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife and say, “May Yahweh give you more children by this woman because of the request she made of Yahweh.” Then they would return to their own home.
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.
Yahweh again helped Hannah, and again she became pregnant. She bore three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the child Samuel grew before Yahweh.
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; he heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and how they slept with the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
23 Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: kāpēc jūs darāt tādas lietas? Kā es par jums tādu neslavu dzirdu no visiem šiem ļaudīm?
He said to them, “Why do you such things? For I hear of your evil actions from all these people.”
24 Nē, mani bērni, tā nav laba slava, ko es dzirdu, jo jūs darāt Tā Kunga ļaudis pārkāpjam.
No, my sons; for it is not a good report that I hear. You make Yahweh's people disobey.
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 sins against another, God will judge him; but if a man sins against Yahweh, who will speak for him?” But they would not listen to the voice of their father, because Yahweh intended to kill them.
26 Un tas puisis Samuēls augdams auga un patika gan Tam Kungam, gan tiem ļaudīm.
The child Samuel grew up, and increased in favor with Yahweh 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,
Now a man of God came to Eli and said to him, “Yahweh says, 'Did I not reveal myself to the house of your ancestor, when they were in Egypt in bondage to 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.
I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, and to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me. I gave to the house of your ancestor all the offerings of the people of Israel made with fire.
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.
Why, then, do you scorn my sacrifices and offerings that I required in the place where I live? Why do you honor your sons above me by making yourselves fat with the best of every offering of my people Israel?'
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.
For Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'I promised that your house, and the house of your ancestor, should walk before me forever.' But now Yahweh says, 'Far be it from me to do this, for I will honor those who honor me, but those who despise me will 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.
See, the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father's house, so that there will no longer be any old man in your house.
32 Un tu redzēsi (Dieva) dzīvokļa bēdas pie visa, ko Viņš Israēlim labu darīs, un veca nebūs tavā namā nemūžam.
You will see distress in the place where I live. Although good will be given to Israel, there will no longer be any old man in your house.
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.
Any one of you that I do not cut off from my altar, I will cause your eyes to fail, and I will cause grief for your life. All the men born in your family will die.
34 Šī nu būs tā zīme, kas nāks pār taviem abiem dēliem, par Hofnu un Pinehasu: vienā dienā abi mirs.
This will be the sign for you that will come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: They will both die on the same day.
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.
I will raise up for myself a faithful priest who will do what is in my heart and in my soul. I will build him a sure house; and he will walk before my anointed king forever.
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.
Everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him, asking for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and will say, “Please assign me to one of the priests' positions so I can eat a piece of bread.”'”
