1 Samuelova 14
1 Jednoga dana Šaulov sin Jonatan reče svome momku štitonoši: “Hajde da prijeđemo do filistejske straže koja je ondje prijeko.” Svome ocu nije ništa o tom javio.
Now it came to pass one day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines, which is on the other side of yonder place. But he told not this to his father.
2 Šaul je sjedio na međi Gebe, pod šipkom koji je stajao kraj gumna; a bilo je s njim oko šest stotina ljudi.
And Saul abode in the uttermost part of Gabaa under the pomegranate tree, which was in Magron: and the people with him were about six hundred men.
3 A Ahija, sin Ahituba, brata Ikaboda, sina Pinhasa, sina Elija, svećenika Jahvina u Šilu, nosio je u to vrijeme oplećak. Narod nije primijetio da je Jonatan otišao.
And Achias the son of Achitob brother to Ichabod the son of Phinees, the son of Heli the priest of the Lord in Silo, wore the ephod. And the people knew not whither Jonathan was gone.
4 U sredini klanca kuda je Jonatan htio prijeći da dođe do filistejske straže bila je litica s jedne strane i litica s druge strane. Jedna se zvala Boses, a druga Sene.
Now there were between the ascents, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the garrison of the Philistines, rocks standing up on both sides, and steep cliffs like teeth on the one side, and on the other, the name of the one was Boses, and the name of the other was Sene:
5 Prva je litica stajala na sjeveru nasuprot Mikmasu, a druga na jugu nasuprot Gebi.
One rock stood out towards the north over against Machmas, and the other to the south over against Gabaa.
6 Jonatan reče svome štitonoši: “Hajde da prijeđemo do straže onih neobrezanika. Možda će Jahve učiniti nešto za nas, jer ništa ne priječi Jahvu da udijeli pobjedu - bilo mnogo ljudi ili malo.”
And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised, it may be the Lord will do for us, because it is easy for the Lord to save either by many, or by few.
7 A štitonoša mu odgovori: “Čini sve na što te srce tvoje potiče. Ja ću s tobom, moje je srce kao tvoje srce.”
And his armourbearer said to him: Do all that pleaseth thy mind: go whither thou wilt, and I will be with thee wheresoever thou hast a mind.
8 Jonatan mu reče: “Evo, prijeći ćemo k tim ljudima i pokazat ćemo im se.
And Jonathan said: Behold we will go over to these men. And when we shall be seen by them,
9 Ako nam reknu ovako: 'Ne mičite se dok ne dođemo do vas', tada ćemo se ustaviti na mjestu i nećemo se uspinjati k njima.
If they shall speak thus to us: Stay till we come to you: let us stand still in our place, and not go up to them.
10 Ako li nam reknu ovako: 'Uspnite se k nama', tada ćemo se uspeti, jer ih je Jahve predao nama u ruke. To će nam biti znak.”
But if they shall say: Come up to us: let us go up, because the Lord hath delivered them into our hands, this shall be a sign unto us.
11 Kad su se obojica pokazala filistejskoj straži, rekoše Filistejci: “Gle, Hebreji su počeli izlaziti iz rupa u koje su se skrili.”
So both of them discovered themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said: Behold the Hebrews come forth out of the holes wherein they were hid.
12 I stražari doviknuše Jonatanu i njegovu štitonoši: “Uspnite se k nama da vas nešto naučimo!” A Jonatan reče svome štitonoši: “Penji se za mnom, jer ih je Jahve predao u ruke Izraelove.”
And the men of the garrison spoke to Jonathan, and to his armourbearer, and said: Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armourbearer: Let us go up, follow me: for the Lord hath delivered them into the hands of Israel.
13 Jonatan se poče penjati pomažući se rukama i nogama, a za njim njegov štitonoša. Filistejci su padali pred Jonatanom, a njegov ih je štitonoša ubijao za njim.
And Jonathan went up creeping on his hands and feet, and his armourbearer after him. And some fell before Jonathan, others his armourbearer slew as he followed him.
14 U tome prvom pokolju što ga učiniše Jonatan i njegov štitonoša pade dvadesetak ljudi na otprilike pola jutra izoranog polja.
And the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was of about twenty men, within half an acre of land, which a yoke of oxen is wont to plough in a day.
15 Tada se proširi strah po taboru i po polju, a i stražare i četu pljačkaša obuze strava; i zemlja zadrhta i bijaše to silan strah Božji.
And there was a miracle in the camp, through the fields: yea and all the people of their garrison, who had gone out to plunder, were amazed, and the earth trembled: and it happened as a miracle from God.
16 A Šaulovi stražari u Benjaminovoj Gebi opaziše da se mnoštvo u taboru uskomešalo na sve strane.
And the watchmen of Saul, who were in Gabaa of Benjamin looked, and behold a multitude overthrown, and fleeing this way and that.
17 I Šaul reče ljudima koji su bili s njim: “Prozovite ljude i vidite tko je otišao od nas.” A kad prozvaše, gle, ne bijaše Jonatana i njegova štitonoše!
And Saul said to the people that were with him: Look, and see who is gone from us. And when they had sought, it was found that Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there.
18 Tada Šaul reče Ahiji: “Primakni oplećak! Posavjetuj se s Jahvom!” On je, naime, tada nosio oplećak pred sinovima Izraelovim.
And Saul said to Achias: Bring the ark of the Lord. (For the ark of God was there that day with the children of Israel.)
19 Ali dok je Šaul govorio sa svećenikom, bivala je buka u filistejskom taboru sve veća, pa Šaul reče svećeniku: “Povuci ruku!”
And while Saul spoke to the priest, there arose a great uproar in the camp of the Philistines: and it increased by degrees, and was heard more clearly. And Saul said to the priest: Draw in thy hand.
20 Nato Šaul i sav narod što je bio s njim krenuše zajedno na mjesto boja, i gle, ondje bijahu isukali mačeve jedni na druge i velika pomutnja vladaše među njima.
Then Saul and all the people that were with him, shouted together, and they came to the place of the fight: and behold every man’s sword was turned upon his neighbour, and there was a very great slaughter.
21 A oni Hebreji koji su već poodavno bili u službi Filistejaca i sada pošli s njima na vojsku, odmetnuše se od njih i pristadoše uz Izraelce koji bijahu sa Šaulom i Jonatanom.
Moreover the Hebrews that had been with the Philistines yesterday and the day before, and went up with them into the camp, returned to be with the Israelites, who were with Saul and Jonathan.
22 I svi Izraelci koji se bijahu sakrili u Efrajimovoj gori, čuvši da Filistejci bježe, nagrnuše za njima u boj.
And all the Israelites that had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines fled, joined themselves with their countrymen in the fight. And there were with Saul about ten thousand men.
23 Tako je Jahve udijelio pobjedu Izraelu u onaj dan, a boj se raširio sve do preko Bet Horona.
And the Lord saved Israel that day. And the fight went on as far as Bethaven.
24 Izraelci su onog dana bili vrlo izmoreni, jer je Šaul izrekao nad narodom ovu zakletvu: “Proklet bio čovjek koji okusi hrane prije večeri, prije nego što se osvetim svojim neprijateljima!” Tako sav narod ne okusi hrane toga dana.
And the men of Israel were joined together that day; and Saul adjured the people, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat food till evening, till I be revenged of my enemies. So none of the people tasted any food:
25 Ali je ondje bilo medenoga saća na površini zemlje.
And all the common people came into a forest, in which there was honey upon the ground.
26 Kad je narod došao onamo, vidje gdje teče med, ali nitko ne prinese ruke k ustima, jer se narod bojao zakletve.
And when the people came into the forest, behold the honey dropped, but no man put his hand to his mouth. For the people feared the oath.
27 Samo Jonatan, koji nije čuo kad je njegov otac zakleo narod, primače vrh štapa koji mu bijaše u ruci i zamoči ga u medeno saće, zatim prinese ruku k ustima; i odmah mu se zasvijetliše oči.
But Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people: and he put forth the end of the rod, which he had in his hand, and dipt it in a honeycomb: and he carried his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened.
28 Tada jedan iz naroda progovori i reče mu: “Tvoj je otac zakleo narod govoreći: 'Proklet bio onaj koji okusi hrane danas!'”
And one of the people answering, said: Thy father hath bound the people with an oath, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat any food this day. (And the people were faint.)
29 A Jonatan odgovori: “Moj otac svaljuje nesreću na zemlju. Gledajte kako su mi se zasvijetlile oči jer sam okusio malo toga meda.
And Jonathan said: My father hath troubled the land: you have seen yourselves that my eyes are enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey:
30 Što bi tek bilo da je narod slobodno jeo od plijena koji je zadobio od neprijatelja? Ne bi li filistejski poraz bio još veći?”
How much more if the people had eaten of the prey of their enemies, which they found? had there not been made a greater slaughter among the Philistines?
31 Onoga dana potukoše Filistejce od Mikmasa sve do Ajalona, a narod je bio na kraju svojih snaga.
So they smote that day the Philistines from Machmas to Ailon. And the people were wearied exceedingly.
32 Tada se narod baci na plijen, nahvata sitne stoke, goveda i teladi i poče ih klati na goloj zemlji i jesti meso s krvlju.
And falling upon the spoils, they took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people ate them with the blood.
33 I javiše to Šaulu govoreći: “Gle, narod griješi Jahvi jedući meso s krvlju!” A on reče: “Iznevjeriste se! Dovaljajte mi ovamo velik kamen!”
And they told Saul that the people had sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood. And he said: You have transgressed: roll here to me now a great stone.
34 Zatim reče: “Zađite među narod i recite svima neka svaki dovede k meni svoga vola ili ovcu; ovdje ćete ih klati i jesti, a nećete griješiti Jahvi jedući meso s krvlju.” Tako sav narod još iste noći dovede što je tko imao i to su ondje klali.
And Saul said: Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them to bring me every man his ox and his ram, and slay them upon this stone, and eat, and you shall not sin against the Lord in eating with the blood. So all the people brought every man his ox with him till the night: and slew them there.
35 A Šaul podiže žrtvenik Jahvi; bijaše to prvi žrtvenik koji je podigao Jahvi.
And Saul built an altar to the Lord and he then first began to build an altar to the Lord.
36 Nato reče Šaul: “Pođimo još noćas u potjeru za Filistejcima i plijenimo ih dok ne svane jutro! Nećemo im ostaviti nijednoga čovjeka!” A narod mu odgovori: “Čini sve što misliš da je dobro!” Ali svećenik reče: “Pristupimo ovdje k Bogu!”
And Saul said: Let us fall upon the Philistines by night, and destroy them till the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And the people said: Do all that seemeth good in thy eyes. And the priest said: Let us draw near hither unto God.
37 I Šaul upita Boga: “Moram li poći u potjeru za Filistejcima? Hoćeš li ih predati u ruke Izraelu?” Ali mu ne odgovori u onaj dan.
And Saul consulted the Lord: Shall I pursue after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not that day.
38 Zato Šaul reče: “Pristupite ovamo, svi narodni glavari! Ispitajte i vidite u čemu je bio današnji prestupak.
And Saul said: Bring hither all the corners of the people: and know, and see by whom this sin hath happened today.
39 Jer, živoga mi Jahve, koji daje pobjedu Izraelu, ako se nađe krivnja ma i na mome sinu Jonatanu, mora umrijeti!” Ali nitko se iz naroda ne usudi odgovoriti Šaulu.
As the Lord liveth who is the saviour of Israel, if it was done by Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. In this none of the people gainsaid him.
40 Šaul onda reče svemu Izraelu: “Vi stanite na jednu stranu, a ja i moj sin Jonatan stat ćemo na drugu stranu.” A narod odgovori Šaulu: “Čini ono što misliš da je dobro!”
And he said to all Israel: Be you on one side, and I with Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people answered Saul: Do what seemeth good in thy eyes.
41 Tada se Šaul pomoli: “Jahve, Bože Izraelov, zašto nisi danas odgovorio svome sluzi? Ako je krivnja na meni ili na mome sinu Jonatanu, Jahve, Bože Izraelov, daj Urim; ako li je krivnja na tvom narodu Izraelu, daj Tumim.” I ždrijeb pade na Šaula i Jonatana, a narod izađe slobodan.
And Saul said to the Lord: O Lord God of Israel, give a sign, by which we may know, what the meaning is, that thou answerest not thy servant today. If this iniquity be in me, or in my son Jonathan, give a proof: or if this iniquity be in thy people, give holiness. And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped.
42 Šaul nastavi: “Bacite ždrijeb između mene i moga sina Jonatana!” I ždrijeb pade na Jonatana.
And Saul said: Cast lots between me, and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
43 Tada Šaul reče Jonatanu: “Priznaj mi što si učinio!” Jonatan odgovori: “Ja sam samo okusio malo meda vrškom štapa koji mi bijaše u ruci. Evo me, spreman sam umrijeti!”
And Saul said to Jonathan: Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said: I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod, which was in my hand, and behold I must die.
44 Šaul odgovori: “Tako mi Bog učinio zlo i dodao mi drugo ako doista ne umreš, Jonatane!”
And Saul said: May God do so and so to me, and add still more: for dying thou shalt die, O Jonathan.
45 Ali narod reče Šaulu: “Zar da umre Jonatan, koji je izvojevao ovu veliku pobjedu u Izraelu? Ne smije to biti! Živoga nam Jahve, nijedna vlas neće pasti s njegove glave na zemlju jer je on s Bogom izvršio ovo djelo danas!” Tako ga narod izbavi te Jonatan ne pogibe.
And the people said to Saul: Shall Jonathan then die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? This must not be. As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he should not die.
46 Šaul odusta od potjere za Filistejcima, a Filistejci se vratiše u svoj kraj.
And Saul went back, and did not pursue after the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own places.
47 Kad je Šaul učvrstio svoju kraljevsku vlast nad Izraelom, okrenu ratovati protiv svih svojih neprijatelja unaokolo: protiv Moaba, protiv Amonaca, protiv Edoma, protiv Bet Rehoba, protiv kralja Sobe i protiv Filistejaca; kuda god bi se okrenuo, svuda bi pobjeđivao.
And Saul having his kingdom established over Israel, fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and Edom, and the kings of Soba, and the Philistines; and whithersoever he turned himself, he overcame.
48 Dao je mnogo dokaza svoje hrabrosti, potukao je Amalečane i izbavio Izraela iz ruku onih koji su ga pljačkali.
And gathering together an army, he defeated Amalec, and delivered Israel from the hand of them that spoiled them.
49 Šaulovi sinovi bijahu Jonatan, Išjo i Malki-Šua, a od njegovih dviju kćeri starija se zvala Meraba, a mlađa Mikala.
And the sons of Saul, were Jonathan, and Jessui, and Melchisua: and the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn was Merob, and the name of the younger Michol.
50 Šaulova se žena zvala Ahinoama, a bila je kći Ahimaasova. Vojvoda njegove vojske zvao se Abner, a bio je sin Nera, Šaulova strica.
And the name of Saul’s wife, was Achinoam the daughter of Achimaas; and the name of the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, the cousin german of Saul.
51 Jer Kiš, Šaulov otac, i Ner, Abnerov otac, bijahu sinovi Abielovi.
For Cis was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner, was son of Abiel.
52 Žestok se rat vodio protiv Filistejaca svega Šaulova vijeka. Koga bi god hrabra ili bojovna čovjeka Šaul vidio, svakoga bi uzimao u svoju službu.
And there was a great war against the Philistines all the days of Saul. For whomsoever Saul saw to be a valiant man, and fit for war, he took him to himself.
