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 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 first-born was Joel; and the name of his second Abiyah: they judged in Beer-sheba'.
3 Bet viņa dēli nestaigāja viņa ceļos, bet dzinās pēc mantas un ņēma dāvanas un grozīja tiesu.
But his sons walked not in his ways, and they inclined after their own advantage, and took bribes, and perverted justice.
4 Tad visi Israēla vecaji sapulcinājās un nāca pie Samuēla uz Rāmatu,
Then did all the elders of Israel assemble themselves together, and came to Samuel unto 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 unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons have not walked in thy ways: now appoint for 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.
But the thing was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto 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 unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they may say unto thee; for not thee have they rejected, but me have they rejected, 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.
In accordance with all the deeds which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even until this day, when they forsook 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: nevertheless thou must still solemnly forewarn them, and tell them the manner of the king that will reign over them.
10 Tad Samuēls visus Tā Kunga vārdus sacīja tiem ļaudīm, kas ķēniņu no viņa prasīja.
And Samuel said all the words of the Lord unto the people that had 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 will reign over you: Your sons will he take, and appoint them for himself with his chariots, and among his horsemen; and they will have to run before his chariot;
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 to appoint for himself captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and to plough his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and the instruments of his chariots.
13 Un jūsu meitas viņš ņems par zalvju(ziežu) taisītājām un par pavārēm un par cepējām.
And your daughters will he take for ointment makers, and for cooks, and for 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 olive-yards, yea the best, will he take, 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.
And of your seeds, and of your vineyards will he take the tenth, and give [the same] to his officers, 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 your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and your best young men, and your asses will he take, and employ [them] for his work.
17 No jūsu ganāmiem pulkiem viņš ņems to desmito, un jūs būsiet viņam par kalpiem.
Of your flocks will he take the tenth: and ye yourselves will become 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 will cry out on that day because of your king whom ye will have chosen for yourselves, but the Lord will not answer you on that day.
19 Bet tie ļaudis negribēja klausīt Samuēla balsij un sacīja: ne tā, bet ķēniņš lai ir pār mums.
Nevertheless the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; and they said, No; but a king shall be 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 ourselves be like all the nations: and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.
21 Un Samuēls dzirdēja visus tos ļaužu vārdus, un tos atsacīja Tam Kungam.
And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he spoke them before 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 unto their voice, and appoint them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.
