Pirmā Samuela 25
1 Un Samuēls nomira un viss Israēls sapulcējās un žēlojās par to un to apraka viņa namā Rāmatā.
[Soon after that], Samuel died, and all the Israeli people gathered and mourned for him. They buried his body outside his home in Ramah. Then David and his men moved to the Maon Desert.
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.
In Maon [town] there was a man who owned land in Carmel, [a nearby village]. He was very rich; he owned 3,000 sheep and 1,000 goats.
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.
His name was Nabal; he was a descendant of Caleb. His wife Abigail was a wise and beautiful woman, but Nabal was very cruel and treated people very unkindly [IDM].
4 Kad nu Dāvids tuksnesī dzirdēja, ka Nābals savas avis cirpa,
One day while David [and his men] were in the desert, someone told him that Nabal was cutting the wool from 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,
So David told ten of his men, “Go to Nabal at Carmel and greet him for me.
6 Un sakāt: Dievs palīdz, miers lai ir ar tevi un miers ar tavu namu un miers ar visu, kas tev pieder!
Then tell to him this message from me, ‘I wish/desire that things will go well for you and your family and for everything that you possess.
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.
‘heard people say that you are cutting the wool from your sheep. Previously, when your shepherds were among us, we did not harm them. All the time that your shepherds were among us at Camel, we did not steal any sheep from them.
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.
You can ask your servants if this is true, and they will tell you [that it is true]. We have come here at a time when you are celebrating, so I ask you to please be kind to us and give these men whatever extra food you have, for me, David, and my men to eat.’”
9 Kad nu Dāvida puiši bija nākuši un šos vārdus uz Nābalu no Dāvida puses runājuši, tad tie palika klusu.
When David’s men arrived where Nabal was, they gave David’s message to him, and they waited [for him to reply]. But Nabal spoke harshly to them.
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.
He said to them, “Who [does] this man, this son of Jesse, [think that he] is? [DOU, RHQ] There are many slaves who are running away from their masters at the present time, [and it seems to me that he is just one of them].
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?
I give bread and water to the men who are cutting the wool from my sheep, and I give them meat from animals that I have slaughtered. Why should I take some of those things and give them to a group of outlaws [RHQ]? (Who knows where they have come from?/I do not even know where they have come from.)” [RHQ]
12 Tad Dāvida puiši griezās atpakaļ uz savu ceļu un gāja atpakaļ un nāca un atsacīja viņam visus šos vārdus.
Then David’s men returned and told him what Nabal had said.
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.
When David heard that, he told his men, “[We are going to kill Nabal; ] fasten your swords!” So he fastened on his sword and about 400 men fastened on their swords and went with David. There were 200 of his men who stayed with their supplies.
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.
One of Nabal’s servants [found out what David and his men were planning to do, so he] went to Nabal’s wife Abigail and said to her, “David sent some messengers from the desert to greet our master Nabal, but Nabal only yelled at them.
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.
All the time that we were in the fields close to them, those men of David were very kind to us. They did not harm us. They did not steal anything from us.
16 Tie mums bijuši par mūri gan naktīm, gan dienām, visu to laiku, kad mēs pie tiem bijuši, avis ganīdami.
They protected us during the daytime and during the night. They were like a wall [MET] around us to protect us while we were taking care of our sheep.
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.
So now you should think about it and decide what you can do. [If you do not do something, ] terrible things will happen to our master and to all his family. Nabal is an extremely wicked man, with the result that [he will not heed anyone when] that person tries to tell him anything [that he should do].”
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.
[When] Abigail [heard that, she] very quickly gathered 200 loaves [of bread], and also got two leather bags full of wine, the meat from five sheep, a bushel of roasted grain, 100 packs of raisins, and 200 packs of dried figs. She put all those things on donkeys.
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.
Then she told her servants, “Go ahead of me. I will follow you.” But she did not tell her husband [what she was going to do].
20 Kad nu viņa uz ēzeļa jādama nonāca pakalnā, meža ēnā, redzi, tad Dāvids ar saviem vīriem nonāca viņai pretī, un viņa tos sastapa.
David and his men [had left the place where they were staying and were on the road to Nabal’s property. They] were coming down a hill when they met Abigail.
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.
David had been saying to his men, “It was useless for us to protect that man and all his possessions here in this desert. We did not steal anything that belonged to him, but he has done evil to me in return for our good [things we did for him].
22 Lai Dievs Dāvida ienaidniekiem šā un tā dara, ja es no visa, kas viņam pieder, līdz rītam vienu atlicināju, kas mīž pie sienas.
I hope/desire that God will strike me and kill me [IDM] if he or even one of his men [IDM] is still alive tomorrow morning!”
23 Kad nu Abigaīle Dāvidu redzēja, tad viņa steidzās un nokāpa no ēzeļa un Dāvida priekšā krita uz savu vaigu un metās pie zemes.
When Abigail saw David, she quickly got down from her donkey and bowed before him, with her face touching 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!
Then she prostrated herself at David’s feet and said to him, “Sir, I deserve to be punished [for what my husband has done]. Please listen to what I say to you.
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.
Please do not pay attention to [IDM] what this worthless man Nabal has said. His name means ‘fool’, and he surely is a foolish man. But I, who am [willing to be] your servant, did not see the messengers whom you sent to him.
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.
Yahweh has prevented you from getting revenge on anyone and killing anyone. I hope/desire that as surely as Yahweh lives and as surely as you live, your enemies will be [cursed] like Nabal will be.
27 Un šī nu ir tā svētība, ko tava kalpone savam kungam ir atnesusi; lai to dod tiem puišiem, kas manam kungam staigā pakaļ.
I have brought a gift for you and for the men who are with you.
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.
Please forgive me if I have done anything wrong to you. Yahweh will surely [reward you by] allowing many of your descendants to become kings of Israel, because you are fighting the battles that Yahweh [wants you to fight]. And [I know that] throughout all your life you have not done anything wrong.
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.
Even when those who are trying to kill you pursue you, you are safe, because Yahweh your God takes care of you. You will be [protected as though you were] [MET] a bundle that he has safely tied up. But your enemies will [disappear as fast as stones] that are hurled from a sling.
30 Kad nu Tas Kungs manam kungam visu to labu darīs, ko Viņš par tevi runājis, un tevi cels par valdnieku pār Israēli,
Yahweh has promised to do good things for you, and he will do what he has promised. And he will cause you to become the ruler of the Israeli people.
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.
When that happens, [you will be glad that you did not kill any] people in Nabal’s household. You will not think that you deserve to be punished for having taken revenge yourself and killed innocent people. And when Yahweh enables you to successfully [become the king], please do not forget [to be kind to] me.”
32 Tad Dāvids sacīja uz Abigaīli: slavēts lai ir Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, kas tevi šodien man pretī sūtījis.
David replied to Abigail, “I praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], because he sent you to [talk with] 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.
I hope/desire that Yahweh will bless you for being very wise. You have prevented me from taking revenge myself and killing many people [MTY] today.
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.
Just as surely as Yahweh the God whom we Israelis [worship] is alive, he has prevented me from harming you. If you had not come quickly to talk to me, neither Nabal nor even one of Nabal’s men [IDM] would be still alive tomorrow morning.”
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.
Then David accepted the gifts that Abigail had brought to him. He said to her, “I hope/desire that things will go well for you. I have heard what you said, and I will do what you have requested.”
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.
When Abigail returned to Nabal, he was in his house, having a big celebration like kings have. He was very drunk and feeling very happy. So Abigail did not say anything to him that night [about her meeting with David].
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.
The next morning, when he was no longer drunk, she told him everything [that had happened when she talked with David]. [Immediately] (he had a stroke/a blood vessel burst in his brain) and he became paralyzed [MET].
38 Un pēc kādām desmit dienām Tas Kungs sita Nābalu, ka tas nomira.
About ten days later Yahweh struck him [again] and 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.
After David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Praise Yahweh! Nabal insulted me, but Yahweh (vindicated me/got revenge for me). He has prevented me from [doing anything] wrong. And he has punished Nabal for the wrong that he did.” Then David sent [messengers] to Abigail, to ask her if she would become his 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.
His servants went to Carmel and said to Abigail, “David sent us to take you to become his 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.
Abigail bowed down with her face touching the ground. Then she told [the messengers to tell David], “[I am happy to become your wife]. I will be your servant. And I am willing to wash the feet of your slaves.”
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.
Abigail quickly got on her donkey and went with David’s messengers. Five of her maids went with her. [When she arrived where David was, ] she became his wife.
43 Un Dāvids ņēma arī Aķinoamu no Jezreēles, un tā šās abas viņam bija par sievām.
David had previously married Ahinoam, a woman from Jezreel [town near Carmel]. So both Abigail and Ahinoam were now David’s wives.
44 Jo Sauls savu meitu Mikali, Dāvida sievu, bija devis Paltam, Laīsa dēlam, kas bija no Gallim.
King Saul’s daughter Michal was also David’s wife, but Saul had given her to Laish’s son Paltiel, who was from Gallim [town].
