Pirmā Samuela 23
1 Un Dāvidam teica un sacīja: redzi, Fīlisti karo pret Ķeģilu un aplaupa klonus.
David was told, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing 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.
Therefore David enquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go and strike these Philistines?” The LORD said to David, “Go strike the Philistines, and save Keilah.”
3 Bet Dāvida vīri uz to sacīja: redzi, mēs bīstamies šeit iekš Jūda: kā mēs varētu iet uz Ķeģilu pret Fīlistu karapulkiem?
David’s men said to him, “Behold, we are afraid here in Judah. 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 enquired of the LORD yet again. The LORD answered him, and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
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.
David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their livestock, and killed them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
6 Bet kad Abjatars, Aķimeleka dēls, uz Ķeģilu bēga pie Dāvida, tad viņš nonāca ar to efodu savā rokā.
When Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, he came down with an 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.
Saul was told that David had come to Keilah. Saul said, “God has delivered him into my hand, for he is shut in by entering into a town that has gates and bars.”
8 Tad Sauls sasauca tos ļaudis uz karu, ka tie noietu uz Ķeģilu, Dāvidu ar viņa vīriem aplenkt.
Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah to besiege 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.
David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him. He said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.”
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, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah to destroy the city for my sake.
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.
Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? Will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? LORD, the God of Israel, I beg you, tell your servant.” The LORD said, “He will come 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 deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?” The LORD said, “They will deliver 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, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah and went wherever they could go. Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah; and he gave up going 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.
David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God didn’t deliver him into his hand.
15 Un Dāvids redzēja, ka Sauls bija izgājis, viņa dzīvību meklēt; un Dāvids bija Zifas tuksneša silā.
David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the woods.
16 Tad Jonatāns, Saula dēls, cēlās un gāja pie Dāvida silā un stiprināja viņa roku iekš Dieva,
Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose and went to David into the woods, and strengthened his hand 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.
He said to him, “Don’t be afraid, for the hand of Saul my father won’t find you; and you will be king over Israel, and I will be next to you; and Saul my father knows that also.”
18 Un tie abi derēja derību Tā Kunga priekšā, un Dāvids palika tai silā, bet Jonatāns gāja uz savām mājām.
They both made a covenant before the LORD. Then David stayed in the woods and Jonathan went 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 Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Doesn’t David hide himself with us in the strongholds in the woods, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the desert?
20 Nu tad, ķēniņ, nāc tūdaļ it pēc tava sirds prāta, jo mums pienākas, viņu nodot ķēniņa rokā.
Now therefore, O king, come down. According to all the desire of your soul to come down; and our part will be to deliver him up into the king’s hand.”
21 Tad Sauls sacīja: svētīti jūs esat Tam Kungam, ka jūs par mani esat apžēlojušies.
Saul said, “You are blessed by the LORD, for you have had compassion 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.
Please go make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who has seen him there; for I have been told that he is very cunning.
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.
See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides himself; and come again to me with certainty, and I will go with you. It shall happen, if he is in the land, that I will search him out amongst all the thousands 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.
They arose, and went to Ziph before Saul; but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of the desert.
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.
Saul and his men went to seek him. When David was told, he went down to the rock, and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard that, he pursued David in the wilderness 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.
Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain; and David hurried to get away for fear of Saul, for Saul and his men surrounded David and his men to take them.
27 Bet viens vēstnesis nāca pie Saula sacīdams: steidzies un ej, jo Fīlisti zemē ielauzušies.
But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, for the Philistines have made a raid 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 Saul returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines. Therefore they called that place Sela Hammahlekoth.
29 Un Dāvids aizgāja no turienes un palika Enģedos nepieejamās vietās.
David went up from there and lived in the strongholds of En Gedi.
