Pirmā Samuela 20
1 Tad Dāvids bēga no Najotas pie Rāmatas, un nāca un sacīja Jonatāna priekšā: ko es esmu darījis, kas ir mans noziegums un kas ir mani grēki tava tēva priekšā, ka viņš manu dzīvību meklē?
David ran from Naioth in Ramah to Jonathan and asked him, “What have I done? What is my wrong have I done? What terrible thing have I done to your father that he wants to kill me?”
2 Tad tas uz viņu sacīja: lai Dievs pasargā, tu nemirsi! Redzi, mans tēvs nedara ne lielu ne mazu lietu, ko viņš man papriekš nesacītu, kādēļ tad mans tēvs šo lietu priekš manis būtu apslēpis? Tas tā nav.
“Nothing!” Jonathan replied. “You're not going to die! Listen! My father tells me everything he's planning, whatever it is. Why would my father keep something like this from me? It's not true!”
3 Tad Dāvids turklāt vēl zvērēja un sacīja: tavs tēvs labi zina, ka es žēlastību esmu atradis priekš tavām acīm, tāpēc viņš domā, lai Jonatāns no tā nekā nezina, ka tas par to nenoskumstas. Bet patiesi, tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo un tava dvēsele dzīvo, viens solis vien ir starp mani un nāvi.
But David swore an oath again, saying, “Your father knows very well that I'm your friend, and so he's told himself, ‘Jonathan can't find out about this, otherwise he'll be really upset.’ I swear on the life of the Lord, and on your own life, my life is hanging by a thread.”
4 Un Jonatāns sacīja uz Dāvidu: ko tava dvēsele vēlās, to es tev darīšu.
“Tell me what you want me to do for you and I'll do it,” Jonathan told David.
5 Un Dāvids sacīja uz Jonatānu: redzi, rītu ir jauns mēnesis, un man būtu ar ķēniņu pie galda jāsēž un jāēd, tad nu palaid mani, ka es laukā apslēpjos līdz trešās dienas vakaram.
“Well, the New Moon festival is tomorrow, and I'm meant to sit down and eat with the king. But if it's alright with you, I plan to go and hide in the field until the evening three days from now.
6 Ja tavs tēvs pēc manis vaicās, tad saki: Dāvids mani lūgdams lūdzis, ka varētu steigšus noiet uz savu pilsētu Bētlemi, jo tur ir tas gadskārtīgais upuris visiem tiem radiem.
If your father does indeed miss me, tell him, ‘David had to urgently ask my permission to hurry down to Bethlehem, his hometown, because of a yearly sacrifice there for his whole family group.’
7 Ja nu viņš tā sacīs: tas ir labi, - tad tavam kalpam būs miers. Bet ja viņš par to apskaistās, tad tu vari zināt, ka viņš ļaunu apņēmies.
If he says, ‘That's fine,’ then there's no problem for me, your servant, but if he gets mad, you'll know he intends to do me harm.
8 Dari tad žēlastību pie sava kalpa, jo tu ar savu kalpu Tā Kunga derību esi derējis. Bet ja kāds noziegums ir pie manis, tad nokauj tu mani, kāpēc tu mani vēl gribētu vest pie sava tēva?
So please treat me well, as you promised when you made a agreement with me before the Lord. If I've done wrong, then kill me yourself! Why take me to your father for him to do it?”
9 Tad Jonatāns sacīja: lai tas ne mūžam tev nenotiek, ja es tiešām atzītu, ka mans tēvs būtu apņēmies tev ļaunu darīt, ka es tev to nesacītu!
“Absolutely not!” Jonathan replied. “If I knew for certain that if my father had plans to harm you, don't you think I'd tell you?”
10 Tad Dāvids sacīja uz Jonatānu: kas man to sacīs, kad tavs tēvs tev bargi atbildēs?
“So who's going to let me know if your father gives you a nasty answer?” David asked.
11 Tad Jonatāns sacīja uz Dāvidu: nāc, ejam laukā. Un tie izgāja abi divi uz lauku.
“Come on, let's go out into the countryside,” Jonathan said. So they both of them went out into the countryside.
12 Tad Jonatāns sacīja uz Dāvidu: Kungs, Israēla Dievs, ja es no sava tēva būšu izklausījis ap šo laiku rītu vai parītu, un redzi, kad tas ir labi priekš Dāvida, un es tad pie tevis nesūtu un tev no tā ziņas nedodu,
Jonathan said to David, “I promise by the Lord, the God of Israel, that I will question my father by this time tomorrow or the day after. If things look good for you, I'll send a message to you and let you know.
13 Tad lai Tas Kungs Jonatānam šā un tā dara. Bet ja mans tēvs ko ļaunu pret tevi ir apņēmies, tad es tev par to arī ziņu došu, un tevi palaidīšu, ka tu ar mieru vari aiziet. Un lai tad Tas Kungs ir ar tevi, kā Viņš ir bijis ar manu tēvu.
But if my father plans to do you harm, then may the Lord punish me very severely, if I don't let you know by sending you a message so you can get away safely. May the Lord be with you, just as he was with my father.
14 Un kaut tu, kamēr es vēl dzīvoju, kaut tu pie manis parādītu Tā Kunga žēlastību,
While I live, please show me trustworthy love like that of the Lord so I don't die,
15 Un kad es mirstu, ne mūžam neatrautu savu žēlastību no mana nama, arī tad ne, kad Tas Kungs Dāvida ienaidniekus visus no zemes izdeldēs.
and please don't ever remove your trustworthy love for my family, even when the Lord has removed every one of your enemies from the earth.”
16 Tā Jonatāns derēja derību ar Dāvida namu. Un Tas Kungs ir piemeklējis Dāvida ienaidniekus.
Jonathan made a solemn agreement with the family of David, saying, “May the Lord impose retribution on David's enemies.”
17 Un Jonatāns Dāvidu vēl reiz apzvērināja viņu mīlēdams, jo tas viņu mīlēja, itin kā savu dvēseli.
Jonathan made David swear this once more by making an oath based on David's love for him, for Jonathan already loved David as he loved himself.
18 Un Jonatāns uz viņu sacīja: rītu ir jauns mēnesis, tad pēc tevis vaicās, jo tava vieta, kur tu sēdi, būs tukša.
Then Jonathan said to David, “The New Moon festival is tomorrow. You'll be missed, because your place will be empty.
19 Bet trešā dienā nonāc drīz un ej uz to vietu, kur tu biji paslēpies darba dienā, un apsēdies pie Azel akmens.
In three days time, go quickly to where you hid when all this started, and stay there beside the pile of stones.
20 Tad es trīs bultas šaušu tam sānis, tā kā mērķī šaudams.
I'll shoot three arrows to the side of it as if I were shooting at a target.
21 Un redzi, es sūtīšu puisi (sacīdams): ej, meklē tās bultas. Ja es uz to puisi sacīšu: redzi, tās bultas ir šaipus tevis, dabū tās, - tad nāc, jo tev ir miers un nav nekas, tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo.
Then I'll send a boy and tell him, ‘Go and find the arrows!’ Now, if I say to him specifically, ‘Look, the arrows are this side of you; bring them over here,’ then I swear on the life of the Lord it's safe for you to come out—there's no danger.
22 Bet ja es tā uz to puisi sacīšu: redzi, tās bultas ir tavā priekšā viņā pusē, - tad ej, jo Tas Kungs tev ir licis iet.
But if I tell the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are way past you,’ then you'll have to leave, for the Lord wants you to go away.
23 Bet par to lietu, par ko es un tu esam runājuši, redzi, lai Tas Kungs ir starp mani un tevi mūžīgi.
As for what you and I talked about, remember that the Lord is a witness between you and me forever.”
24 Tad Dāvids paslēpās laukā, un kad jauns mēnesis bija, tad ķēniņš apsēdās pie galda ēst.
So David hid himself in the field. When the New Moon festival arrived, the king sat down to eat.
25 Kad nu ķēniņš apsēdās savā vietā, to brīdi kā ar vienu pie sienas, tad Jonatāns nāca, un Abners apsēdās Saulam sānis, bet Dāvida vieta palika tukša.
He sat in his usual place by the wall opposite Jonathan. Abner sat next to Saul, but David's place was empty.
26 Bet Sauls nesacīja tai dienā nekā, jo viņš domāja: tam kas ir noticis, ka tas nav šķīsts, - viņš nebūs šķīsts.
Saul didn't say anything that day because he thought, “Something has probably happened to David to make him ceremonially unclean—yes, he must be unclean.”
27 Bet otrā jauna mēneša dienā Dāvida vieta palika atkal tukša. Tad Sauls sacīja uz savu dēlu Jonatānu: kāpēc Isajus dēls pie galda nav nācis nedz vakar, nedz šodien?
But the second day, the day after the New Moon, David's place was still empty. Saul asked his son Jonathan, “Why hasn't the son of Jesse come to dinner either yesterday or today?”
28 Tad Jonatāns Saulam atbildēja: Dāvids mani lūgdams lūdzis, ka varētu iet uz Bētlemi,
Jonathan answered, “David had to urgently ask my permission to go to Bethlehem.
29 Un sacīja: atlaid mani lūdzams, jo mūsu radiem ir upuris tai pilsētā, un mans brālis man pats to ir pavēlējis; nu tad, ja es žēlastību esmu atradis tavās acīs, tad dod man lūdzams vaļu, savus brāļus apmeklēt. Tādēļ viņš nav nācis pie ķēniņa galda.
He told me, ‘Please let me go, because our family is having a sacrifice in the town and my brother told me I had to be there. If you think well of me, please let me go and see my brothers.’ That's why he's absent from the king's table.”
30 Tad Sauls apskaitās pret Jonatānu un uz to sacīja: tu netiklais stūrgalvi, vai es nezinu, ka tu to Isajus dēlu esi izredzējis sev par kaunu un tavai netiklai mātei par kaunu?
Saul got very angry with Jonathan and said, “You rebellious son of a whore! Don't you think I know that you prefer the son of Jesse? Shame on you! You're a disgrace to the mother who bore you!
31 Jo cik ilgi Isajus dēls virs zemes dzīvos, ne tu, nedz tava valstība nepastāvēs. Tad nu nosūti un dabū man viņu šurp, jo viņam jāmirst.
While the son of Jesse remains alive, you and your kingship are not secure. Now go and bring him here to me, for he has to die!”
32 Tad Jonatāns savam tēvam Saulam atbildēja un uz to sacīja: kāpēc tam būs mirt? Ko viņš ir darījis?
“Why does he have to be put to death?” Jonathan asked. “What has he done?”
33 Tad Sauls meta ar šķēpu pēc viņa, ka to nodurtu. Un Jonatāns nomanīja, ka viņa tēvs pilnīgi bija apņēmies, Dāvidu nokaut.
Saul threw his spear at Jonathan, trying to kill him, so he knew that his father definitely wanted David dead.
34 Tad Jonatāns cēlās no galda ar dusmām un neēda tai otrā jauna mēneša dienā nekā, jo viņam sirds ēdās par Dāvidu, tāpēc ka viņa tēvs to bija negodā licis.
Jonathan left the table absolutely furious. He would not eat anything on the second day of the festival, for he was so upset by the shameful way his father had treated David.
35 Un rītā Jonatāns izgāja laukā, kur ar Dāvidu bija norunāts, un mazs zēns bija viņam līdz.
In the morning Jonathan went to the field to the place he had agreed with David, and a young boy was with him.
36 Un viņš sacīja uz savu puisi: teci, meklē jel tās bultas, ko es šaušu. Tad tas puisis tecēja, un viņš šāva vienu bultu pāri pār to.
He told the boy, “Run and find the arrows that I shoot.” The boy started running and Jonathan shot an arrow past him.
37 Kad nu tas puisis uz to vietu nāca, kur Jonatāns to bultu bija aizšāvis, tad Jonatāns tam puisim sauca pakaļ un sacīja: vai tā bulta nav tavā priekšā viņā pusē?
When the boy got to the place where Jonathan's arrow had landed, Jonathan shouted to him, “Isn't the arrow farther past you?
38 Atkal Jonatāns tam puisim sauca pakaļ: steidzies čakli, nestāvi! Tad tas puisis Jonatānam lasīja tās bultas un nāca atkal pie sava kunga.
Hurry up! Do it quickly! Don't wait!” The boy picked up the arrows and took them back to his master.
39 Bet tas puisis nezināja nekā; Jonatāns tikai un Dāvids zināja to lietu.
The boy didn't suspect anything—only Jonathan and David knew what it meant.
40 Un Jonatāns deva tos rīkus savam puisim, un uz to sacīja: ej, nes tos pilsētā.
Jonathan gave his bow and arrows to the boy and said, “Take these back to town.”
41 Tā tas puisis nogāja, un Dāvids cēlās no dienasvidus puses un metās uz savu vaigu pie zemes un klanījās trīs reiz', un tie skūpstījās un raudāja abi divi, bet Dāvids jo stipri.
After the boy had gone, David got up from beside the pile of stones, fell facedown to the ground, and bowed three times. Then he and Jonathan kissed each other and cried together as friends, though David cried the hardest.
42 Tad Jonatāns sacīja uz Dāvidu: ej ar mieru! Ko mēs abi iekš Tā Kunga vārda esam zvērējuši sacīdami: Tas Kungs lai ir starp mani un tevi, un starp manu dzimumu un tavu dzimumu, - tas lai tā paliek mūžīgi. Un viņš cēlās un aizgāja, un Jonatāns nāca pilsētā.
Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, for the two of us have sworn a solemn oath in the name of the Lord. We said, ‘The Lord will be a witness between me and you, and between my descendants and your descendants forever.’” Then David left, and Jonathan went back to town.
