< Otra Samuela 1 >

1 Un notikās pēc Saula miršanas, kad Dāvids no Amalekiešu kaušanas bija atpakaļ griezies, tad Dāvids palika divas dienas Ciklagā.
After the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag,
2 Un redzi, trešā dienā viens vīrs nāca no lēģera, no Saula, un viņa drēbes bija saplosītas, un zeme bija uz viņa galvas. Un kad viņš pie Dāvida nāca, viņš klanījās pie zemes mezdamies.
on the third day, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn and earth on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the earth and showed respect.
3 Un Dāvids uz to sacīja: no kurienes tu nāci? Un tas uz viņu sacīja: no Israēla lēģera esmu izbēdzis.
David said to him, “Where do you come from?” He said to him, “I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.”
4 Tad Dāvids uz to sacīja: kā tur iet? Teic man jel! Un tas sacīja: tie ļaudis no kaušanās ir bēguši un daudz no tiem ļaudīm krituši un miruši, arī Sauls un Jonatāns, viņa dēls, ir miruši.
David said to him, “How did it go? Please tell me.” He answered, “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead. Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.”
5 Tad Dāvids sacīja uz to puisi, kas viņam to teica: kā tu zini, ka Sauls un Jonatāns, viņa dēls, miruši?
David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”
6 Tad tas puisis, kas viņam to teica, sacīja: nejauši es nācu uz Ģilboas kalniem un redzi, Sauls bija atspiedies uz savu šķēpu, un redzi, rati un jātnieki tam lauzās virsū.
The young man who told him said, “As I happened by chance on Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and the horsemen followed close behind him.
7 Tad viņš griezās atpakaļ un mani ieraudzīja un mani sauca. Un es sacīju: še es esmu.
When he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me. I answered, ‘Here I am.’
8 Un viņš uz mani sacīja: kas tu esi? Un es uz to sacīju: esmu Amalekietis.
He said to me, ‘Who are you?’ I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’
9 Un viņš uz mani sacīja: nāc šurp pie manis un nokauj mani, jo izbailes mani pārņēmušas, un mana dzīvība vēl ir vesela iekš manis.
He said to me, ‘Please stand beside me, and kill me, for anguish has taken hold of me because my life lingers in me.’
10 Tad es pie tā piegāju un to nokāvu, jo es gan zināju, ka viņš pēc savas krišanas nevarēja dzīvot, un es paņēmu to kroni, kas bija uz viņa galvas, un viņa rokas greznumu un to nesu šurp pie sava kunga.
So I stood beside him and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. I took the crown that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.”
11 Tad Dāvids sakampa savas drēbes un tās saplēsa, tāpat arī visi tie vīri, kas pie viņa bija.
Then David took hold on his clothes and tore them; and all the men who were with him did likewise.
12 Un tie žēlojās un raudāja un gavēja līdz vakaram par Saulu un par viņa dēlu Jonatānu un par Tā Kunga ļaudīm un par Israēla namu, tāpēc ka tie caur zobenu bija krituši.
They mourned, wept, and fasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
13 Un Dāvids sacīja uz to puisi, kas viņam to bija teicis: no kurienes tu esi? Un viņš sacīja: es esmu sveša vīra, viena Amalekieša, dēls.
David said to the young man who told him, “Where are you from?” He answered, “I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite.”
14 Un Dāvids uz to sacīja: kā tu neesi bijies izstiept savu roku, nomaitāt Tā Kunga svaidīto?
David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”
15 Un Dāvids sauca vienu no tiem puišiem un sacīja: nāc, nokauj viņu. Un tas to kāva, ka tas nomira.
David called one of the young men and said, “Go near, and cut him down!” He struck him so that he died.
16 Un Dāvids uz to sacīja, tavas asinis lai paliek uz tavas galvas, jo tava paša mute pret tevi ir liecinājusi sacīdama: es Tā Kunga svaidīto esmu nokāvis.
David said to him, “Your blood be on your head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have slain the LORD’s anointed.’”
17 Tad Dāvids dziedāja šo vaidu dziesmu par Saulu un par viņa dēlu Jonatānu,
David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son
18 Un pavēlēja lai Jūda bērniem to stopa dziesmu mācītu (redzi, tā ir rakstīta tā taisnā grāmatā):
(and he commanded them to teach the children of Judah the song of the bow; behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):
19 Israēla glītums uz taviem kalniem nokauts! Kā tie varenie krituši!
“Your glory, Israel, was slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!
20 Nestāstat to Gatā, neteiciet to Askalonas ielās, ka Fīlistu meitas nepriecājās, ka neapgraizīto meitas nelīksmojās!
Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21 Ģilboas kalni, lai rasa un lietus vairs nav uz jums, nedz tīrumi upuru dāvanām, jo tur to vareno priekšturamās bruņas ir nomestas, Saula priekšturamās bruņas ar eļļu nesvaidītas.
You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain on you, and no fields of offerings; for there the shield of the mighty was defiled and cast away, the shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.
22 Jonatāna stops nekad nav dzīts atpakaļ un Saula zobens nekad nav pārnācis bez nokauto asinīm un vareno taukiem.
From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, Jonathan’s bow didn’t turn back. Saul’s sword didn’t return empty.
23 Sauls un Jonatāns, mīlīgi un laipni, dzīvībā un nāvē tie nav šķirti; tie bija vieglāki nekā ērgļi un stiprāki nekā lauvas.
Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives. In their death, they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles. They were stronger than lions.
24 Israēla meitas, raudiet par Saulu, kas jūs krāšņi tērpa ar purpuru, kas jūsu drēbes pušķoja ar zelta glītumiem.
You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you delicately in scarlet, who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.
25 Kā tie varenie ir krituši kara vidū! Jonatāns ir nokauts uz taviem kalniem.
How the mighty have fallen in the middle of the battle! Jonathan was slain on your high places.
26 Man ir žēl pēc tevis, mans brāli Jonatān! Tu man biji ļoti mīļš, tava mīlestība man bija saldāka, nekā sievas mīlestība.
I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was wonderful, surpassing the love of women.
27 Kā tie varenie krituši un kara ieroči gājuši bojā!
How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished!”
