Pirmā Samuela 8
1 Kad nu Samuēls bija vecs palicis, tad viņš iecēla savus dēlus Israēlim par soģiem.
And it came to pass when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
2 Viņa pirmdzimušā dēla vārds bija Joēls, un tā otrā vārds bija Abijus, tie bija soģi Bēršebā.
And the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abijah; they judged in Beer-sheba.
3 Bet viņa dēli nestaigāja viņa ceļos, bet dzinās pēc mantas un ņēma dāvanas un grozīja tiesu.
And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted justice.
4 Tad visi Israēla vecaji sapulcinājās un nāca pie Samuēla uz Rāmatu,
Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel to Ramah,
5 Un uz to sacīja: redzi, tu esi palicis vecs un tavi dēli nestaigā tavos ceļos; tad nu cel mums ķēniņu, kas mūs tiesā, kā tas ir visām tautām.
and said to him, Behold, thou art become old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now appoint us a king to judge us, like all the nations.
6 Un šī valoda Samuēlim nepatika, kad tie sacīja: dod mums ķēniņu, kas mūs tiesā. Un Samuēls pielūdza To Kungu.
And the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed to Jehovah.
7 Tad Tas Kungs sacīja uz Samuēli: paklausi to ļaužu balsij iekš visa, ko tie uz tevi runā, jo tie nav tevi atmetuši, bet Mani tie ir atmetuši, ka Man vairs nebūs ķēniņam būt pār tiem.
And Jehovah said to Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
8 Tā tie arvien ir darījuši no tās dienas, kad Es tos esmu izvedis no Ēģiptes, līdz šai dienai, un Mani atstājuši un kalpojuši citiem dieviem; tā tie tev arīdzan dara.
According to all the deeds that they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, in that they have forsaken me and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
9 Un nu klausi viņu balsij, bet apliecini tiem skaidri un dari tiem zināmu, kāda tiesa ķēniņam, kas pār tiem valdīs.
And now hearken unto their voice; only, testify solemnly unto them, and declare unto them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
10 Tad Samuēls visus Tā Kunga vārdus sacīja tiem ļaudīm, kas ķēniņu no viņa prasīja.
And Samuel spoke all the words of Jehovah to the people that asked of him a king.
11 Un viņš sacīja: šī būs tā tiesa ķēniņam, kas pār jums valdīs: jūsu dēlus viņš ņems un tos cels uz saviem ratiem un par saviem jātniekiem, un ka tie skrien viņa ratu priekšā.
And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: he will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, on his chariot and among his horsemen, and they shall run before his chariots;
12 Un viņš tos cels par virsniekiem pār piecdesmitiem, un ka tie viņa tīrumu ar un viņa labību pļauj, un ka tie viņam taisa kara rīkus un ratu rīkus.
and [he will take them] that he may appoint for himself captains over thousands, and captains over fifties, and that they may plough his ground, and reap his harvest, and make his instruments of war and instruments of his chariots.
13 Un jūsu meitas viņš ņems par zalvju(ziežu) taisītājām un par pavārēm un par cepējām.
And he will take your daughters for perfumers, and cooks, and bakers.
14 Un jūsu labākos tīrumus un vīna un eļļas dārzus viņš ņems un dos saviem kalpiem.
And your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, the best, will he take and give to his servants.
15 Un no jūsu druvām un vīna dārziem viņš ņems to desmito un to dos saviem sulaiņiem un kalpiem.
And he will take the tenth of your seed and of your vineyards, and give to his chamberlains and to his servants.
16 Un viņš ņems jūsu kalpus un jūsu kalpones un jūsu labākos jaunekļus un jūsu ēzeļus, un ar tiem darīs savu darbu.
And he will take your bondmen, and your bondwomen, and your comeliest young men, and your asses, and use them for his work.
17 No jūsu ganāmiem pulkiem viņš ņems to desmito, un jūs būsiet viņam par kalpiem.
He will take the tenth of your sheep. And ye shall be his servants.
18 Tad jūs gan tai laikā brēksiet sava ķēniņa dēļ, ko jūs sev izvēlējušies, bet Tas Kungs jūs tai dienā neklausīs.
And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king whom ye have chosen; and Jehovah will not answer you in that day.
19 Bet tie ļaudis negribēja klausīt Samuēla balsij un sacīja: ne tā, bet ķēniņš lai ir pār mums.
And the people refused to hearken to the voice of Samuel; and they said, No, but there shall be a king over us,
20 Un mēs gribam būt, kā visas citas tautas, un mūsu ķēniņam būs mūs tiesāt un mūsu priekšā iziet un vest mūsu karus.
that we also may be like all the nations; and our king shall judge us, and go out before us, and conduct our wars.
21 Un Samuēls dzirdēja visus tos ļaužu vārdus, un tos atsacīja Tam Kungam.
And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he repeated them in the ears of Jehovah.
22 Tad Tas Kungs sacīja uz Samuēli: paklausi viņu balsij un cel tiem ķēniņu. Tad Samuēls sacīja uz Israēla ļaudīm: ejat ikkatrs savā pilsētā.
And Jehovah said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Go ye every man to his city.
