Pirmā Samuela 3
1 Un tas jauneklis Samuēls kalpoja Tam Kungam Elus priekšā, un Tā Kunga vārds bija dārgs tanī laikā, un parādīšanas notika reti.
[While he was still a] boy, Samuel was working for Yahweh while Eli supervised him. At that time there were very few messages [that anyone received] from Yahweh, and very few people saw visions [that Yahweh gave them].
2 Un notikās tai laikā, kad Elus savā vietā gulēja, (un viņa acis jau sāka tumšas mesties, ka tas nevarēja redzēt),
By that time Eli’s eyes were very weak; he was almost blind. [One night] he was sleeping in his room,
3 Un tas Dieva lukturis vēl nebija izdzisis, un Samuēls gulēja Tā Kunga namā, kur Dieva šķirsts bija.
and Samuel was sleeping in the sacred tent, where the chest that contained the Ten Commandments was kept. While the sacred lamp was still burning,
4 Tad Tas Kungs Samuēli sauca, un šis sacīja: redzi, še es esmu,
Yahweh called, “Samuel! Samuel!” Samuel replied, “I’m here!”
5 Un skrēja pie Elus un sacīja: redzi, še es esmu, jo tu mani esi saucis. Un viņš sacīja: es tevi neesmu saucis, ej atkal gulēt. Un tas gāja un apgūlās.
Then he [got up and] ran to Eli. He said to him, “I am here, because you called me!” But Eli replied, “No, I did not call you. Go back to your bed.” So Samuel went and lay down again.
6 Tad Tas Kungs Samuēli atkal sauca. Un Samuēls cēlās un gāja pie Elus un sacīja: redzi, še es esmu, jo tu mani esi saucis. Viņš sacīja: es tevi neesmu saucis, mans dēls, ej atkal gulēt.
Then Yahweh called again, “Samuel!” So Samuel got up again and went to Eli and said, “I am here, because you called me!” But Eli said, “No, my son, I did not call you. Go back and lie down.”
7 Bet Samuēls vēl nepazina To Kungu un Tā Kunga vārds tam vēl nebija parādīts.
At that time Samuel did not yet know [that] Yahweh [could speak to him], because Yahweh had not previously revealed anything to him.
8 Tad Tas Kungs Samuēli atkal sauca trešu lāgu. Un tas cēlās un gāja pie Elus un sacīja: redzi, še es esmu, tu mani esi saucis. Tad Elus noprata, ka Tas Kungs to jaunekli sauca.
[After Samuel lay down again], Yahweh called him a third time. So again Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “I am here, because you called me!” Then Eli realized that it was Yahweh who was calling the boy.
9 Un Elus sacīja uz Samuēli: ej gulēt, un kad tevi sauks, tad saki: runā Kungs, jo Tavs kalps klausās. Un Samuēls gāja un apgūlās savā vietā.
So he said to Samuel, “Go and lie down again. If someone calls you again, say ‘Speak to me, Yahweh, because I am listening!’” So Samuel went and lay down again.
10 Tad Tas Kungs nāca un nostājās un sauca kā papriekš: Samuēl, Samuēl! Un Samuēls sacīja: runā, jo Tavs kalps klausās.
Then Yahweh came and stood there and called as he had done the other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak to me, because I am listening!”
11 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Samuēli: redzi, Es ko darīšu iekš Israēla, ka visiem, kas to dzirdēs, abās ausīs skanēs.
Then Yahweh said to Samuel, “Listen carefully. I am about to do something here in Israel that will shock/horrify [IDM] everyone who hears about it.
12 Tanī dienā Es pret Elu visu izdarīšu, ko pret viņa namu esmu runājis: Es to sākšu un arī pabeigšu.
When that happens, I will punish Eli and his family. I will do to them everything that I said that I would do.
13 Jo Es tam esmu ziņu devis, ka Es soģis būšu pār viņa namu mūžīgi tā nozieguma dēļ, ka viņš zinājis, kā viņa bērni sev lāstus krājās, un tiem to nav liedzis.
His sons have shown great disrespect for me by the disgraceful things they have done, and Eli did not restrain them. So I told him that I would punish his family forever.
14 Un tādēļ Es Elus namam esmu zvērējis, ka Elus nama noziegums nemūžam netaps salīdzināts ne caur kaujamiem, ne caur ēdamiem upuriem.
I solemnly promised to Eli’s family, ‘You will never be able to avoid the consequences for your sin, even if you give me sacrifices or offerings.’”
15 Un Samuēls gulēja līdz rītam, un tad viņš atvēra Tā Kunga nama durvis, bet Samuēls bijās šo parādīšanu Elum stāstīt.
Samuel lay down again until morning. Then he got up and opened the doors of the Sacred Tent [as usual]. He was afraid to tell Eli about the vision [that Yahweh had given him].
16 Tad Elus Samuēli aicināja un sacīja: Samuēl, mans dēls. Un tas atbildēja: redzi, še es esmu.
But Eli called him and said, “Samuel, my son!” Samuel answered, “I am here!”
17 Un viņš sacīja: kas tas par vārdu, ko Viņš uz tevi runājis? Neslēp jel to man; lai Dievs tev šā un tā dara, ja tu man vienu vārdu apslēpsi no visiem, ko Viņš uz tevi runājis.
Eli asked him, “What was it that Yahweh told you? Do not conceal it! I want God to punish you severely if you do not tell me everything that he said to you.”
18 Tad Samuēls tam stāstīja visus tos vārdus un tam nekā neapslēpa. Un tas sacīja: Viņš ir Tas Kungs, lai Viņš dara, ko Viņš pats redz labu esam.
So Samuel told him everything. He did not refuse to tell him anything. Then Eli said, “He is Yahweh. I am willing for him to do what he thinks is best.”
19 Un Samuēls uzauga, un Tas Kungs bija ar viņu, un Viņš nevienam no Saviem vārdiem nelika zemē krist.
As Samuel grew up, Yahweh helped him, and caused everything to (come true/happen) that Samuel predicted.
20 Un viss Israēls no Dana līdz Bēršebai atzina, ka Samuēls bija Tā Kunga uzticīgais pravietis.
So all the people of Israel, from the northern end of the country to the southern end, realized that Samuel was truly a prophet of Yahweh.
21 Un Tas Kungs vēl parādījās Šīlo, jo Tas Kungs parādījās Samuēlim Šīlo caur Tā Kunga vārdu.
Yahweh continued to appear to Samuel in Shiloh and give messages to him.
