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 appointed his sons to be judges over Israel.
2 Viņa pirmdzimušā dēla vārds bija Joēls, un tā otrā vārds bija Abijus, tie bija soģi Bēršebā.
Now the name of his firstborn son was Joel: and the name of the second was Abia, judges in Bersabee.
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 they turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
4 Tad visi Israēla vecaji sapulcinājās un nāca pie Samuēla uz Rāmatu,
Then all the ancients of Israel being assembled, came to Samuel to Ramatha.
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 they said to him: Behold thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: make us a king, to judge us, as all nations have.
6 Un šī valoda Samuēlim nepatika, kad tie sacīja: dod mums ķēniņu, kas mūs tiesā. Un Samuēls pielūdza To Kungu.
And the word was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, that they should say: Give us a king, to judge us. And Samuel prayed to the Lord.
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 the Lord said to Samuel: Hearken to the voice of the people in all that they say to thee. For they have not rejected thee, but 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 their works, they have done from the day that I brought them out of Egypt until this day: as they have forsaken me, and served strange 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.
Now therefore hearken to their voice: but yet testify to them, and foretell them the right of the king, that shall reign over them.
10 Tad Samuēls visus Tā Kunga vārdus sacīja tiem ļaudīm, kas ķēniņu no viņa prasīja.
Then Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people that had desired a king of him,
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 said: This will be the right of the king, that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and put them in his chariots, and will make them his horsemen, and his running footmen to 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 appoint of them to be his tribunes, and centurions, and to plough his fields, and to reap his corn, and to make him arms and chariots.
13 Un jūsu meitas viņš ņems par zalvju(ziežu) taisītājām un par pavārēm un par cepējām.
Your daughters also he will take to make him ointments, and to be his cooks, and bakers.
14 Un jūsu labākos tīrumus un vīna un eļļas dārzus viņš ņems un dos saviem kalpiem.
And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your best oliveyards, and give them to his servants.
15 Un no jūsu druvām un vīna dārziem viņš ņems to desmito un to dos saviem sulaiņiem un kalpiem.
Moreover he will take the tenth of your corn, and of the revenues of your vineyards, to give his eunuchs and servants.
16 Un viņš ņems jūsu kalpus un jūsu kalpones un jūsu labākos jaunekļus un jūsu ēzeļus, un ar tiem darīs savu darbu.
Your servants also and handmaids, and your goodliest young men, and your asses he will take away, and put them to his work.
17 No jūsu ganāmiem pulkiem viņš ņems to desmito, un jūs būsiet viņam par kalpiem.
Your flocks also he will tithe, and you 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 you shall cry out in that day from the face of the king, whom you have chosen to yourselves. and the Lord will not hear you in that day, because you desired unto yourselves a king.
19 Bet tie ļaudis negribēja klausīt Samuēla balsij un sacīja: ne tā, bet ķēniņš lai ir pār mums.
But the people would not hear the voice of Samuel, and they said: Nay: 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.
And we also will be like all nations: and our king shall judge us, and go out before us, and tight our battles for us.
21 Un Samuēls dzirdēja visus tos ļaužu vārdus, un tos atsacīja Tam Kungam.
And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and rehearsed them in the ears of the Lord.
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 the Lord said to Samuel: Hearken to their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel: Let every man go to his city.
