< Otra Samuela 1 >

1 Un notikās pēc Saula miršanas, kad Dāvids no Amalekiešu kaušanas bija atpakaļ griezies, tad Dāvids palika divas dienas Ciklagā.
And it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, that David abode 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.
And it came to pass on the third day, that behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his garments rent, and earth upon his head; and as soon as he came to David, he fell to the earth and did obeisance.
3 Un Dāvids uz to sacīja: no kurienes tu nāci? Un tas uz viņu sacīja: no Israēla lēģera esmu izbēdzis.
And David said to him, Whence comest thou? And he said to him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
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.
And David said to him, What has taken place? I pray thee, tell me. And he said that the people had fled from the battle, and many of the people also had fallen and died, and that Saul and Jonathan his son were dead also.
5 Tad Dāvids sacīja uz to puisi, kas viņam to teica: kā tu zini, ka Sauls un Jonatāns, viņa dēls, miruši?
And David said to the young man that told him, How knowest thou 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.
And the young man that told him said, I happened by chance to be upon mount Gilboa, and behold, Saul leaned on his spear; and behold, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
7 Tad viņš griezās atpakaļ un mani ieraudzīja un mani sauca. Un es sacīju: še es esmu.
And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called to me. And I said, Here am I.
8 Un viņš uz mani sacīja: kas tu esi? Un es uz to sacīju: esmu Amalekietis.
And he said to me, Who art thou? And I said to 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 again, Stand, I pray thee, over me, and slay me; for anguish has seized me; for my life is yet whole 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 over him, and put him to death, for I knew that he would not live after his fall; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither 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 of his garments and rent them; and all the men that 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.
And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah, and for the house of Israel; because they were 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.
And David said to the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he said, I am the son of an Amalekite stranger.
14 Un Dāvids uz to sacīja: kā tu neesi bijies izstiept savu roku, nomaitāt Tā Kunga svaidīto?
And David said to him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thy hand to destroy Jehovah's anointed?
15 Un Dāvids sauca vienu no tiem puišiem un sacīja: nāc, nokauj viņu. Un tas to kāva, ka tas nomira.
Then David called one of the young men and said, Draw near, [and] fall on him. And he smote him 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.
And David said to him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth has testified against thee, saying, I have slain Jehovah's anointed.
17 Tad Dāvids dziedāja šo vaidu dziesmu par Saulu un par viņa dēlu Jonatānu,
And 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 bade them teach the children of Judah [the song of] the bow. Behold, it is written in the book of Jasher: —
19 Israēla glītums uz taviem kalniem nokauts! Kā tie varenie krituši!
The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
20 Nestāstat to Gatā, neteiciet to Askalonas ielās, ka Fīlistu meitas nepriecājās, ka neapgraizīto meitas nelīksmojās!
Tell [it] not in Gath, carry not the tidings 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.
Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, no rain upon you, nor fields of heave-offerings! For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul, [as] 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, The bow of Jonathan turned not back, And the sword of Saul returned not 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, beloved and pleasant in their lives, Even in their death 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.
Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet with splendour, Who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
25 Kā tie varenie ir krituši kara vidū! Jonatāns ir nokauts uz taviem kalniem.
How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain upon thy 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 thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant wast thou unto me; Thy love to me was wonderful, passing women's love.
27 Kā tie varenie krituši un kara ieroči gājuši bojā!
How are the mighty fallen, and the instruments of war perished!
