Pirmā Samuela 25

1 Un Samuēls nomira un viss Israēls sapulcējās un žēlojās par to un to apraka viņa namā Rāmatā.

And Samuel died, and all Israel were gathered together, and made lamentation for him, and buried him within his own house, in Ramah, —and David arose and went down into the wilderness of Maon.

2 Tad Dāvids nogāja uz Pārana tuksnesi. Un viens vīrs bija Maonā, kam saimniecība bija Karmelī; un tas vīrs bija ļoti bagāts, un tam bija trīstūkstoš avis un tūkstoš kazas. Un tas bija Karmelī, savas avis cirpt.

Now there was, a man, in Maon, whose cattle were in Carmel, and, the man, was exceeding great, and, he, had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats, —and so it was, that he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

3 Un tam vīram bija vārds Nābals, un viņa sievai bija vārds Abigaīle, un tā sieva bija ļoti gudra padomā un skaista augumā. Bet tas vīrs bija pikts un ļauns savos darbos un no Kāleba bērniem.

Now, the name of the man, was Nabal, and, the name of his wife, Abigail, —and, the woman, was of good understanding, and of beautiful figure, —but, the man, was unfeeling and of evil practices, and he was a Calebite.

4 Kad nu Dāvids tuksnesī dzirdēja, ka Nābals savas avis cirpa,

So then David heard in the wilderness, —that Nabal was shearing his sheep.

5 Tad viņš sūtīja desmit puišus un sacīja tiem puišiem: ejat uz Karmeli un ejat pie Nābala un sveicinājiet viņu no manas puses,

David, therefore, sent ten young men, —and David said unto the young men, —Go up to Carmel, and enter in unto Nabal, and ye shall ask him, in my name, of his welfare;

6 Un sakāt: Dievs palīdz, miers lai ir ar tevi un miers ar tavu namu un miers ar visu, kas tev pieder!

and say thus—Long life to thee! Mayest, thou, prosper, And, thy household, prosper, And, all that thou hast, prosper!

7 Un nu es esmu dzirdējis, ka tev ir avju cirpēji. Tad nu tavi gani pie mums ir bijuši, mēs tiem nekā ļauna neesam darījuši, tiem arī nekas nav zudis visu to laiku, kamēr tie Karmelī bijuši.

Now, therefore, have I heard that thou hast shearers, —Well, the shepherds that thou hast, have been with us, we reproached them not, neither missed they, anything, all the days they were in Carmel.

8 Vaicā savus puišus, tad tie tev to sacīs. Lai tad tie jaunekļi žēlastību atrod priekš tavām acīm, jo mēs labā dienā esam atnākuši. Dod jel saviem kalpiem un savam dēlam Dāvidam, kas tev pie rokas.

Ask thy young men, that they may tell thee, that so my young men may find favour in thine eyes, for, on a good day, have we come! Give, I pray thee, what thy hand findeth, to thy servants, and to thy son, to David!

9 Kad nu Dāvida puiši bija nākuši un šos vārdus uz Nābalu no Dāvida puses runājuši, tad tie palika klusu.

So David’s young men came, and spake unto Nabal, according to all these words, in the name of David, —and waited.

10 Bet Nābals atbildēja Dāvida kalpiem un sacīja: kas tas tāds Dāvids un kas tas tāds Isajus dēls? Šinī laikā ir daudz kalpu, kas no saviem kungiem aizbēg.

Then Nabal answered the servants of David, and said, Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? Nowadays, many are the servants that have broken away, every one from the presence of his lord:

11 Vai tad es savu maizi un ūdeni un savus lopus ņemšu, ko es priekš saviem cirpējiem esmu kāvis, un došu vīriem, ko es nepazīstu, no kurienes tie ir?

Shall I, then, take my bread, and my wine, and my slain beasts, that I have slaughtered for my shearers, —and give unto men of whom I know not whence they are?

12 Tad Dāvida puiši griezās atpakaļ uz savu ceļu un gāja atpakaļ un nāca un atsacīja viņam visus šos vārdus.

So the young men of David turned away for their journey, —and came back, and drew near, and told him, according to all these words.

13 Tad Dāvids sacīja uz saviem vīriem: apjoziet ikviens savu zobenu. Tad ikviens apjoza savu zobenu. Un Dāvids apjoza arīdzan savu zobenu, un tie devās uz augšu Dāvidam pakaļ pie četrsimt vīru, un divsimt palika pie rīkiem.

Then said David unto his men—Gird on you every man his sword. And they girded on them, every man his sword, and, David also, girded on his sword, —and there went up after David—about four hundred men, and, two hundred, abode by the stores.

14 Bet Abigaīlei, Nābala sievai, viens no tiem puišiem to stāstīja un sacīja: redzi, Dāvids ir vēstnešus sūtījis no tuksneša un mūsu kungu licis sveicināt, bet viņš tos izbāra.

But a certain one of her young men told, Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, —Lo! David sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our lord, and he treated them with contempt.

15 Bet tie vīri mums ir bijuši ļoti labi, un mums nekā ļauna nav darījuši un mums nekas nav zudis visu to laiku, kad mēs pie tiem mituši, kad bijām laukā.

But, the men, were exceeding good to us, —and we were not harmed, neither missed we, anything, all the days we went to and fro with them, while we were in the fields:

16 Tie mums bijuši par mūri gan naktīm, gan dienām, visu to laiku, kad mēs pie tiem bijuši, avis ganīdami.

A wall, became they unto us, both by night and by day, all the days we were with them, tending the flock.

17 Un nu ņem vērā un raugi, ko tu dari, jo nelaime būs gatava pret mūsu kungu un pret visu viņa namu, un tas ir netikls vīrs, ka viņam nekā nevar sacīt.

Now, therefore, know thou, and see, what thou canst do, for mischief is determined against our lord, and against all his household, —but, he, is such an abandoned man, that one cannot speak unto him.

18 Tad Abigaīle steidzās un ņēma divsimt maizes un divus ādas traukus ar vīnu un piecas kautas avis un piecus pūrus miltu un simts rozīņu raušu un divsimt vīģu raušu, un to krāva uz ēzeļiem.

Then Abigail hastened—and took two hundred loaves, and two skins of wine, and five sheep made ready, and five measures of parched corn, and a hundred cakes of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, —and put them on the asses.

19 Un tā sacīja uz saviem puišiem: noejat manā priekšā, redzi, es būšu aiz jums. Bet savam vīram Nābalam, viņa par to tam nedeva ziņas.

And she said to her young men—Pass on before me, behold me coming after you; but, to her husband, Nabal, told she nothing.

20 Kad nu viņa uz ēzeļa jādama nonāca pakalnā, meža ēnā, redzi, tad Dāvids ar saviem vīriem nonāca viņai pretī, un viņa tos sastapa.

And so it was, as she was riding on her ass, and descending within the covert of the hill, lo! David and his men, descending over against her, —so she met them.

21 Bet Dāvids bija sacījis: tiešām, es esmu velti sargājis visu, kas šim pieder tuksnesī, un tam nekas nav zudis no tā, kas viņam bija, bet viņš man maksā ļaunu par labu.

Now, David, had said—Surely, in vain, did I guard all that pertained to this man in the wilderness, so that there was, nothing, missed of all that he had, —seeing he hath returned to me evil for good.

22 Lai Dievs Dāvida ienaidniekiem šā un tā dara, ja es no visa, kas viņam pieder, līdz rītam vienu atlicināju, kas mīž pie sienas.

So may God do to David and so may he add, if I leave remaining, of all that he hath, until the morning, —so much as a little boy.

23 Kad nu Abigaīle Dāvidu redzēja, tad viņa steidzās un nokāpa no ēzeļa un Dāvida priekšā krita uz savu vaigu un metās pie zemes.

And, when Abigail saw David, she hastened, and alighted from off her ass, —and fell down before David upon her face, and prostrated herself on the ground;

24 Un tā krita viņam pie kājām un sacīja: ak mans kungs, pielīdzini man, man to noziegumu, un lai jel tava kalpone priekš tavām ausīm runā, un klausi tavas kalpones vārdus!

yea she fell at his feet, and said—On me, even me, my lord, be the transgression, —But, I pray thee, let thy handmaid speak in thine ears, and hear thou the words of thy handmaid.

25 Mans kungs, nedusmojies, lūdzams, par šo netiklo vīru, par Nābalu, jo viņš ir tāds, kā viņa vārds skan; Nābals (ģeķis) viņa vārds un ģeķība ir pie viņa, un es, tava kalpone, sava kunga puišus neesmu redzējusi, ko tu esi sūtījis.

Let it not be, I pray thee, that my lord regard this abandoned man—Nabal ["Base"]; For, as his name is, so, is he. Nabal, is his name, and, baseness, is with him, —But, I, thy handmaid, saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.

26 Nu tad, mans kungs, tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvs un tava dvēsele dzīva, Tas Kungs tevi ir noturējis, ka tu neesi nācis asinsgrēkā un neesi atriebies ar savu roku, un nu, kā Nābals, tā lai top tavi ienaidnieki un tie, kas pret manu kungu ļaunu domā.

Now, therefore, my lord—By the life of Yahweh, and by the life of thine own soul, —seeing Yahweh hath withholden thee from coming in with bloodshed, and from saving thyself, with thine own hand, now, therefore, like Nabal, be thine enemies, and they who are making search for my lord, wrongfully.

27 Un šī nu ir tā svētība, ko tava kalpone savam kungam ir atnesusi; lai to dod tiem puišiem, kas manam kungam staigā pakaļ.

Now, therefore, this blessing which thy maid-servant hath brought to my lord, let it even be given unto the young men who are going to and fro at the feet of my lord.

28 Piedod, lūdzams, tavai kalponei to pārkāpumu; jo Tas Kungs tiešām manam kungam dos pastāvīgu namu, tāpēc ka mans kungs karo Tā Kunga karu, un nekāds ļaunums tevi neaizņems ne mūžam.

Forgive, I pray thee, the trespass of thy handmaid, —for Yahweh, will certainly make, for my lord an assured house, for, the battles of Yahweh, is my lord fighting, and, wrong, shall not be found in thee, all thy days;

29 Un kad kāds cilvēks pret tevi celsies, tevi vajāt un tavu dvēseli meklēt, tad mana kunga dvēsele būs iesieta tai dzīvo (dvēseļu) kūlītī pie Tā Kunga, tava Dieva, bet tavu ienaidnieku dvēsele taps kā no lingas izlingota.

yea, though there hath arisen a sun of earth to pursue thee, and to seek thy life, yet shall the life of my lord be bound up in the bundle of the living, with Yahweh thy God, but, as for the life of thine enemies, he shall sling it out with the middle of the hollow of the sling.

30 Kad nu Tas Kungs manam kungam visu to labu darīs, ko Viņš par tevi runājis, un tevi cels par valdnieku pār Israēli,

And it shall be, when Yahweh shall do for my lord, according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, —and shall put thee in charge as leader over Israel,

31 Tad manam kungam nebūs šis grēks un šis sirds grūtums, ka tu velti būtu asinis izlējis, un ka mans kungs pats sev būtu palīdzējies; un kad Tas Kungs manam kungam labu darīs, tad tu pieminēsi savu kalponi.

then shall this not become to thee a staggering and stumbling of heart, unto my lord—that thou didst either shed blood without need, or that the hand of my lord saved himself. And, when Yahweh hath dealt well with my lord, then remember thou thy handmaid.

32 Tad Dāvids sacīja uz Abigaīli: slavēts lai ir Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, kas tevi šodien man pretī sūtījis.

Then said David unto Abigail, —Blessed, be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who hath sent thee this day, to meet me;

33 Un slavēts lai ir tavs padoms, un svētīta esi tu pati, ka tu man šodien noturējusi, ka neesmu nācis asinsgrēkā, un ka ar savu roku neesmu atriebies.

and, blessed, be thy discreet judgment, and, blessed, be thou thyself, —who hast kept me, this day, from coming in with bloodshed, and from saving myself, with mine own hand.

34 Jo patiesi, tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, dzīvs, kas mani noturējis tev ļaunu darīt; ja tu nebūtu steigusies un man pretī nākusi, tad Nābalam nebūtu atlicis līdz rīta gaismai neviens, kas mīž pie sienas.

Nevertheless, by the life of Yahweh, God of Israel, who hath restrained me from harming, thee, surely, except thou hadst hastened and come to meet me, there had not been left unto Nabal, by the light of the morning, so much as a little boy.

35 Tad Dāvids ņēma no viņas rokas, ko viņa tam bija atvedusi, un uz to sacīja: ej ar mieru atkal savās mājās! Redz, es tavu balsi esmu klausījis un tavu lūgšanu pieņēmis.

So David received at her hand, that which she had brought him, —and, unto herself, he said—Go up, in peace, unto thy house, see! I have hearkened unto thy voice, and accepted thy person.

36 Kad nu Abigaīle pie Nābala nāca, redzi, tad tam bija dzīres savā namā, tāpat kā ķēniņa dzīres, un Nābala sirds priecājās pie sevis, un viņš bija ļoti piedzēries. Bet viņa tam ne vārda nesacīja, ne maza, ne liela, līdz rīta gaismai.

And, when Abigail came unto Nabal, lo! he, had a banquet in his house, like the banquet of a king, and, the heart of Nabal, was glad accordingly, he having drunk deeply, —so she told him nothing—less or more, until the light of the morning.

37 Un notikās rītā, kad vīns no Nābala bija izgājis, tad viņa sieva tam visu to stāstīja. Tad viņa sirds iekš viņa pamira, un viņš kļuva kā akmens.

And it came to pass, in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, and his wife told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became like a stone.

38 Un pēc kādām desmit dienām Tas Kungs sita Nābalu, ka tas nomira.

And it came to pass, in about ten days, that Yahweh smote Nabal, that he died.

39 Kad Dāvids dzirdēja, Nābalu esam mirušu, tad viņš sacīja: slavēts ir Tas Kungs, kas manu apsmieklu pie Nābala atriebis un Savu kalpu noturējis no ļauna, un ka Tas Kungs Nābalam to ļaunu uz viņa galvu maksājis. Un Dāvids nosūtīja un runāja uz Abigaīli, ka viņš to ņemtu par sievu.

And, when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said—Blessed, be Yahweh, who hath maintained the plea of my reproach, at the hand of Nabal, and hath restrained, his servant, from wrong, yea, the wrong of Nabal, hath Yahweh turned back on his own head. Then sent David, and spake with Abigail, to take her to himself wife.

40 Tad Dāvida kalpi nāca pie Abigaīles uz Karmeli un runāja uz to un sacīja: Dāvids mūs pie tevis ir sūtījis, ka viņš tevi ņemtu sev par sievu.

And the servants of David came unto Abigail the Carmelitess, —and spake unto her, saying, David, hath sent us unto thee, to take thee to himself to wife.

41 Tad viņa cēlās un metās uz savu vaigu pie zemes un sacīja: redzi, še ir tava kalpone, ka tā kalpo un mazgā sava kunga kalpu kājas.

And she arose, and bowed herself down with her face to the earth, —and said—Lo! thy handmaid, as serving-woman to bathe the feet of the servants of my lord.

42 Un Abigaīle steidzās un cēlās un jāja uz ēzeļa ar savām piecām jaunām meitām, kas viņai staigāja pakaļ, un tā gāja Dāvida vēstnešiem pakaļ un viņam palika par sievu.

And Abigail hastened, and mounted, and rode upon her ass, with her five damsels that used to journey at her feet, —and she went her way after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

43 Un Dāvids ņēma arī Aķinoamu no Jezreēles, un tā šās abas viņam bija par sievām.

David took, Ahinoam also, out of Jezreel, —and, they two, became his wives.

44 Jo Sauls savu meitu Mikali, Dāvida sievu, bija devis Paltam, Laīsa dēlam, kas bija no Gallim.

Saul, indeed, had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, —to Palti, sun of Laish, who was of Gallim.
