Pirmā Samuela 28
1 Tanīs dienās notika, ka Fīlisti savus pulkus uz karu sapulcināja, ar Israēli karot. Tad Aķis sacīja uz Dāvidu: tev būs zināt, ka tev līdz ar mani jāiet karā, gan tev, gan taviem vīriem.
Around that time the Philistines called up their armies to go to war against Israel. So Achish told David, “You do realize that you and your men must accompany me as part of the army.”
2 Tad Dāvids sacīja uz Aķisu: tad tu gan manīsi, ko tavs kalps darīs. Un Aķis sacīja uz Dāvidu: tāpēc es tevi iecelšu par savas galvas sargu mūžam.
“That's fine!” David replied. “Then you yourself will discover what I, your servant, can do.” “That's fine too,” Achish responded. “I'll make you my bodyguard for life.”
3 Un Samuēls jau bija nomiris, un viss Israēls par viņu bija žēlojies, un viņu bija aprakuši Rāmatā, viņa pilsētā. Un Sauls zīlniekus un burvjus bija izdzinis no zemes.
By now Samuel had died, and all of Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, his home town. Saul had got rid of mediums and spiritists from the country.
4 Tā nu Fīlisti sapulcējās un nāca un apmetās Šunemē, un Sauls sapulcēja visu Israēli un tie apmetās Ģilboā.
The Philistine armies gathered and set up camp at Shunem. Saul called up all the Israelite army and set up camp at Gilboa.
5 Kad nu Sauls Fīlistu lēģeri redzēja, tad viņš bijās, un viņa sirds drebēja ļoti.
When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was terrified, shaking with fear.
6 Un Sauls vaicāja To Kungu, bet Tas Kungs tam neatbildēja ne caur sapņiem, ne caur urim(lozēm), ne caur praviešiem.
He asked advice from the Lord, but the Lord didn't answer him either by dreams or by Urim or by prophets.
7 Tad Sauls sacīja uz saviem kalpiem: meklējiet man vienu sievu, kam zīlnieka gars, ka es pie tās eju un to vaicāju. Un viņa kalpi uz to sacīja: redz, Endorā ir viena sieva, tai ir zīlnieka gars.
So Saul told his officers, “Find me a woman who is a medium so I can go and ask her advice.” “There's a woman who is a medium at Endor,” his officers replied.
8 Un Sauls pārmija savas drēbes un apvilka citas un gāja pats ar diviem vīriem un nāca pie tās sievas naktī un sacīja: zīlē man, lūdzama, caur zīlnieka garu un uzved man to, ko es tev sacīšu.
Saul disguised himself by wearing different clothes. He went with two of his men to the woman at night. Saul told her, “Bring up a spirit for me so I can ask some questions. I'll give you the name.”
9 Tad tā sieva uz to sacīja: redzi, tu zini, ko Sauls ir darījis, ka tas zīlniekus un burvjus no zemes ir izdeldējis. Kāpēc tu tad manai dvēselei valgus lieci, mani nomaitāt?
“Don't you know what Saul has done,” she replied. “He's got rid of the mediums and spiritists from the country. Are you trying to set a trap for me and get me killed?”
10 Bet Sauls viņai zvērēja pie Tā Kunga un sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo, tev par to lietu nekāds sods neuzies.
Saul swore an oath to her by the Lord, “As the Lord lives, you won't be held guilty for doing this.”
11 Tad tā sieva sacīja: ko man tev būs uzvest? Un tas sacīja: uzved man Samuēli.
“Who do you want me to bring up for you?” the woman asked. “Bring up Samuel,” he replied.
12 Kad nu tā sieva Samuēli redzēja, tad tā iebrēcās ar stipru balsi un teica uz Saulu un sacīja: kāpēc tu man esi pievīlis? Tu esi Sauls!
But when the woman saw Samuel, she shouted loudly, and said to Saul, “Why have you tricked me? You're Saul!”
13 Un ķēniņš uz to sacīja: nebīsties! Bet ko tu redzi? Tā sieva sacīja uz Saulu: es redzu garu no zemes uzkāpjam.
“Don't be scared,” The king told her. “What can you see?” “I see a god coming up out of the ground,” the woman replied.
14 Un viņš uz to sacīja: kāds ir viņa ģīmis? Un viņa sacīja: tur uzkāpj vecs vīrs, apņēmies mētelī. Tad Sauls manīja, ka tas bija Samuēls, un viņš locīdamies nometās uz savu vaigu pie zemes.
“What does he look like?” Saul asked. “An old man is coming up,” she replied. “He has a robe wrapped around him” Saul thought it must be Samuel, and he bowed facedown in respect.
15 Un Samuēls sacīja uz Saulu: kāpēc tu mani nelieci mierā, un man esi licis nākt augšām? Tad Sauls sacīja: man ir ļoti bail, jo Fīlisti karo pret mani, un Dievs no manis ir atstājies un man vairs neatbild, nedz caur praviešiem, nedz caur sapņiem; tad es tevi esmu aicinājis, man padomu dot, ko man būs darīt.
Samuel said to Saul, “Why are you bothering me by bringing me up?” “I'm in terrible trouble,” Saul replied. “The Philistines are attacking me, and God has abandoned me. He doesn't answer me anymore, either by prophets or by dreams. That's why I have called you up so you tell me what to do.”
16 Tad Samuēls sacīja: kāpēc tad tu mani vaicā, kad Tas Kungs no tevis atstājies un tev palicis par ienaidnieku?
“Why come and ask me when the Lord has abandoned you and has become your enemy?” Samuel asked.
17 Jo Tas Kungs tev ir darījis, ko Viņš caur mani runājis, un Tas Kungs to valstību no tavas rokas ir izrāvis un devis Dāvidam, tavam tuvākam.
“The Lord has done to you exactly what he said through me, for Lord has ripped the kingdom from you and has given it to your neighbor, David.
18 Tā kā tu uz Tā Kunga balsi neesi klausījis un neesi darījis pēc Viņa bargām dusmām pret Amaleku, tā Tas Kungs tev šodien to dara.
The Lord has done this to you today because you did not do what the Lord commanded and you did not execute his furious anger on the Amalekites.
19 Un Tas Kungs Israēli līdz ar tevi nodos Fīlistu rokā, jo rītu tu ar saviem dēliem būsi pie manis. Un Tas Kungs Israēla kara spēku dos Fīlistu rokā.
The Lord will hand over Israel and you yourself to the Philistines. Tomorrow you and your sons will die and be with me. The Lord will also hand over the Israelite army of Israel to the Philistines.”
20 Tad Sauls piepeši krita garšļauku pie zemes, un izbijās ļoti par Samuēla vārdiem; jo viņam nebija spēka, tādēļ ka visu to dienu un nakti nebija ēdis.
Saul collapsed face down on the ground, terrified at what Samuel had said. He had no strength, because he hadn't eaten anything all that day and night.
21 Tad tā sieva nāca pie Saula un redzēja, ka viņš ļoti bija izbijies, un uz viņu sacīja: redzi, tava kalpone tavai balsij ir klausījusi, un es savu dzīvību savā rokā esmu likusi un tavam vārdam paklausījusi, ko tu uz mani esi runājis.
The woman came over to Saul and saw that he was absolutely terrified. She told him, “Look, sir, I did what you asked. I risked my life and did what you told me.
22 Tad klausi nu arī tu, lūdzams, uz savas kalpones balsi, un es tev celšu priekšā kādu kumosu maizes, un ēd, tad tev atkal būs spēks, ka tu vari iet savu ceļu.
Now please do what I tell you. Let me bring you a little bit of food. Eat it, and you'll have the strength to go on your way.”
23 Bet viņš liedzās un sacīja: es negribu ēst, bet viņa kalpi un tā sieva to piespieda, ka tas viņu balsij paklausīja. Un viņš cēlās augšā no zemes un apsēdās uz gultu.
But he refused, saying, “I can't eat anything.” But his men and the woman encouraged him to eat, and he did what they said. He got up from the ground and sat on the bed.
24 Un tai sievai bija barots teļš sētā, un viņa steidzās un to nokāva un ņēma miltus un tos mīcīja un cepa neraudzētas karašas.
The woman had a fattened calf at the house, and she quickly went and slaughtered it. She also got some flour, kneaded it, and baked some unleavened bread.
25 Un to cēla priekšā Saulam un viņa kalpiem, un tie ēda un cēlās un aizgāja tai pašā naktī.
She served the meal to Saul and his men, and they ate it. Then they got up and left, the same night.
