Pirmā Samuela 23

1 Un Dāvidam teica un sacīja: redzi, Fīlisti karo pret Ķeģilu un aplaupa klonus.

And they sent word to David, saying, The Philistines are fighting against Keilah and taking the grain from the grain-floors.

2 Tad Dāvids vaicāja To Kungu un sacīja: vai man būs iet un Fīlistus kaut? Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Dāvidu: ej, jo tu Fīlistus kausi un izglābsi Ķeģilu.

So David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go and make an attack on these Philistines? And the Lord said to David, Go and make an attack on the Philistines so that Keilah may be kept from falling into their hands.

3 Bet Dāvida vīri uz to sacīja: redzi, mēs bīstamies šeit iekš Jūda: kā mēs varētu iet uz Ķeģilu pret Fīlistu karapulkiem?

And David's men said to him, Even here in Judah we are full of fear: how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?

4 Tad Dāvids vaicāja atkal To Kungu, un Tas Kungs tam atbildēja un sacīja: “Celies, noej uz Ķeģilu, jo Es Fīlistus dodu tavā rokā.”

Then David put the question to the Lord again, and the Lord answering said, Up! go down to Keilah; for I will give the Philistines into your hands.

5 Tad Dāvids nogāja ar saviem vīriem uz Ķeģilu un karoja pret Fīlistiem un aizdzina viņu lopus un sakāva tos lielā kaušanā. Tā Dāvids atpestīja Ķeģilas iedzīvotājus.

So David and his men went to Keilah, and had a fight with the Philistines, and took away their cattle, and put them to the sword with great destruction. So David was the saviour of the people of Keilah.

6 Bet kad Abjatars, Aķimeleka dēls, uz Ķeģilu bēga pie Dāvida, tad viņš nonāca ar to efodu savā rokā.

Now when Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, went in flight to David, he came down to Keilah with the ephod in his hand.

7 Kad nu Saulam sacīja, ka Dāvids bija nācis uz Ķeģilu, tad Sauls sacīja: Dievs to nodevis manā rokā, jo viņš ir ieslēgts, ka tas nācis pilsētā, kur aizšaujami vārti.

And news was given to Saul that David had come to Keilah. And Saul said, Now God has given him into my hands; for by going into a walled town with locked doors, he has let himself be shut in.

8 Tad Sauls sasauca tos ļaudis uz karu, ka tie noietu uz Ķeģilu, Dāvidu ar viņa vīriem aplenkt.

And Saul sent for all the people to come to the fight, and go down to Keilah to make an attack on David and his men.

9 Kad nu Dāvids nomanīja, ka Sauls šo ļaunumu pret viņu slepeni bija apņēmies, tad viņš sacīja uz priesteri Abjataru: nes to efodu šurp.

And it was clear to David that Saul had evil designs against him, and he said to Abiathar the priest, Come here with the ephod.

10 Un Dāvids sacīja: Kungs, Israēla Dievs, Tavs kalps to dzirdējis, ka Sauls domā uz Ķeģilu nākt, to pilsētu samaitāt manis dēļ.

Then David said, O Lord, the God of Israel, news has been given to your servant that it is Saul's purpose to come to Keilah and send destruction on the town because of me.

11 Vai Ķeģilas namnieki mani nodos viņa rokā? Vai Sauls arī nāks lejā, kā Tavs kalps dzirdējis? Kungs, Israēla Dievs, saki to jel Savam kalpam. Tad Tas Kungs sacīja: viņš nonāks lejā.

And now, is it true, as they have said to me, that Saul is coming? O Lord, the God of Israel, give ear to your servant, and say if these things are so. And the Lord said, He is coming down.

12 Un Dāvids sacīja: vai tad Ķeģilas namnieki mani un manus vīrus nodos Saula rokā? Tad Tas Kungs sacīja: nodos.

Then David said, Will the men of Keilah give me and my men up to Saul? and the Lord said, They will give you up.

13 Tad Dāvids cēlās ar saviem vīriem, to bija pie sešsimt, un tie izgāja no Ķeģilas un gāja, kur varēdami. Un kad Saulam sacīja, ka Dāvids no Ķeģilas aizbēdzis, tad viņš palika neizgājis.

Then David and his men, about six hundred of them, went out of Keilah, and got away wherever they were able to go. And Saul, hearing that David had got away from Keilah, did not go there.

14 Un Dāvids mita tuksnesī nepieejamās vietās un palika uz kalniem Zifas tuksnesī. Un Sauls to meklēja vienmēr, bet Dievs to nedeva viņa rokā.

And David kept in the waste land, in safe places, waiting in the hill-country in the waste land of Ziph. And Saul was searching for him every day, but God did not give him up into his hands.

15 Un Dāvids redzēja, ka Sauls bija izgājis, viņa dzīvību meklēt; un Dāvids bija Zifas tuksneša silā.

And David was full of fear, in the knowledge that Saul had come out to take his life; and David was in the waste land of Ziph, in Horesh.

16 Tad Jonatāns, Saula dēls, cēlās un gāja pie Dāvida silā un stiprināja viņa roku iekš Dieva,

And Saul's son Jonathan went to David in Horesh, and made his hands strong in God;

17 Un sacīja uz to: nebīsties, jo mana tēva Saula roka tevi neatradīs, un tu tapsi Israēlim par ķēniņu, un es būšu tas tuvākais pie tevis, un to mans tēvs Sauls arī gan zina.

And said to him, Have no fear, for Saul my father will not get you into his power; and you will be king of Israel, and I will be by your side, and my father Saul is certain of this.

18 Un tie abi derēja derību Tā Kunga priekšā, un Dāvids palika tai silā, bet Jonatāns gāja uz savām mājām.

And the two of them made an agreement before the Lord: and David went on living in Horesh, and Jonathan went back to his house.

19 Tad Zifas ļaudis nogāja pie Saula uz Ģibeju un sacīja: vai Dāvids neslēpjas pie mums silā nepieejamās vietās, uz Aķilas pakalna, kas tuksnesim pa labo roku?

Then the Ziphites came up to Gibeah to see Saul, and said, Is not David living secretly among us in the strong places in Horesh, in the hill of Hachilah to the south of the waste land?

20 Nu tad, ķēniņ, nāc tūdaļ it pēc tava sirds prāta, jo mums pienākas, viņu nodot ķēniņa rokā.

So now, O king, have your soul's desire and come down, and we, for our part, will give him up into the king's hands.

21 Tad Sauls sacīja: svētīti jūs esat Tam Kungam, ka jūs par mani esat apžēlojušies.

And Saul said, The Lord's blessing will be yours, for you have had pity on me.

22 Ejat jel, ņemiet vēl vērā, skatāties un izlūkojiet viņa vietu, kur viņa pēdas būs, un kas viņu tur ir redzējis; jo man ir sacīts, ka viņš ļoti gudrs.

Go now, and take more steps, and see where he is living: for they say that he is expert in deceit.

23 Tāpēc izraugāt un izlūkojiet visas malas, kur viņš slēpjās; tad nāciet atkal pie manis ar īstu vēsti, tad es jums iešu līdz. Un ja viņš šai zemē būs, tad es viņam dzīšos pakaļ starp visiem tūkstošiem iekš Jūda.

So take care to get knowledge of all the secret places where he is taking cover, and be certain to come back to me, and I will go with you: and without doubt, if he is anywhere in the land, I will get him, among all the families of Judah.

24 Tad tie cēlās un nogāja uz Zifu Saulam pa priekšu. Bet Dāvids un viņa vīri turējās Maona tuksneša klajumā, pa labo roku tuksnesim.

And they went back and came to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the waste land of Maon, in the dry land south of the waste land.

25 Un Sauls ar saviem vīriem gāja, viņu meklēt. Bet Dāvidam tapa ziņa dota, un viņš nogāja uz to lielo akmeni un palika Maona tuksnesī. Kad nu Sauls to dzirdēja, tad viņš Dāvidam dzinās pakaļ pa Maona tuksnesi.

And Saul and his men went in search of him. And David had word of it, so he came down to the rock in the waste land of Maon. And Saul, hearing of this, went after David into the waste land of Maon.

26 Un Sauls gāja šai kalna pusē, un Dāvids ar saviem vīriem viņā kalna pusē. Tad Dāvids steidzās no Saula bēgt, bet Sauls ar saviem vīriem Dāvidu un viņa vīrus aplenca, gribēdams tos sagūstīt.

And Saul and his men went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men went on the other: and David's purpose was to get away as quickly as possible, for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men were making a circle round David and his men in order to take them.

27 Bet viens vēstnesis nāca pie Saula sacīdams: steidzies un ej, jo Fīlisti zemē ielauzušies.

But a man came to Saul saying, Be quick and come; for the Philistines have made an attack on the land.

28 Un Sauls griezās atpakaļ no Dāvida pakaļdzīšanās un gāja pret Fīlistiem; tāpēc šī vieta top nosaukta Zela-Maklekot (šķiršanās akmens).

So turning back from going after David, Saul went against the Philistines: so that place was named Sela-hammah-lekoth.

29 Un Dāvids aizgāja no turienes un palika Enģedos nepieejamās vietās.

And from there, David went up and took cover in the safe place of En-gedi.
