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 happened one day that Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man who carried his armor, "Come, let's go over to the Philistine garrison on the other side." But he did not tell 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.

Now Saul stayed in the outskirts of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree by the threshing floor, and the people who were 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.

Now Ahijah was wearing an ephod. He was the son of Ahitub, the brother of Ichabod, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of YHWH in Shiloh. And the people did not know that 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 on each side of the pass through which Jonathan intended to cross to the Philistine garrison there was a steep cliff on one side and a steep cliff on the other side. And the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

5 Prva je litica stajala na sjeveru nasuprot Mikmasu, a druga na jugu nasuprot Gebi.

The one cliff was to north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.

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.”

Then Jonathan said to the young man who carried his armor, "Come, let's go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that YHWH will work for us, for nothing can prevent YHWH from saving by many or by a few."

7 A štitonoša mu odgovori: “Čini sve na što te srce tvoje potiče. Ja ću s tobom, moje je srce kao tvoje srce.”

His armor bearer said to him, "Do all that your heart inclines toward. Look, I am with you, my heart is as your heart."

8 Jonatan mu reče: “Evo, prijeći ćemo k tim ljudima i pokazat ćemo im se.

Then Jonathan said, "Look, we will pass over to the men, and we will reveal ourselves to 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 say thus to us, 'Wait until we come to you,' then we will stop where we are, and will 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 say this, 'Come up to us,' then we will go up; for YHWH has delivered them into our hand. This shall be the sign to us."

11 Kad su se obojica pokazala filistejskoj straži, rekoše Filistejci: “Gle, Hebreji su počeli izlaziti iz rupa u koje su se skrili.”

Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, "Look, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden themselves."

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.”

The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, "Come up to us, and we will show you something." Jonathan said to his armor bearer, "Come up after me; for YHWH has delivered them into the hand 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.

Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him. And they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer killed them after him.

14 U tome prvom pokolju što ga učiniše Jonatan i njegov štitonoša pade dvadesetak ljudi na otprilike pola jutra izoranog polja.

That first slaughter which Jonathan and his armor bearer made was about twenty men, with arrows and with weapons from flints of the field.

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 terror in the camp, and in the field, and among all the people. The garrison and even the raiders were terrified. And the earth quaked, and it became a terror of God.

16 A Šaulovi stražari u Benjaminovoj Gebi opaziše da se mnoštvo u taboru uskomešalo na sve strane.

And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin saw, and look, the multitude was scattering here and there.

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!

Then Saul said to the people who were with him, "Count now, and see who is missing from us." When they had counted, look, Jonathan and his armor bearer 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 Ahijah, "Bring near the ephod," for he wore the ephod at that time before Israel.

19 Ali dok je Šaul govorio sa svećenikom, bivala je buka u filistejskom taboru sve veća, pa Šaul reče svećeniku: “Povuci ruku!”

And it happened, while Saul was speaking to the priest, that the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said to the priest, "Withdraw your 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.

Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle: and look, every man's sword was against his fellow: a very great confusion.

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.

Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines previously when they went up with them to the camp, they too turned 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.

Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed closely after them in the battle.

23 Tako je Jahve udijelio pobjedu Izraelu u onaj dan, a boj se raširio sve do preko Bet Horona.

So YHWH saved Israel that day, and the battle passed over by Beth Aven. And all the people with Saul were about ten thousand men. And the battle extended itself into every city in the hill country of Ephraim.

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 Saul committed a great blunder that day, for he had placed the people under an oath, saying, "Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies." So none of the people tasted food.

25 Ali je ondje bilo medenoga saća na površini zemlje.

Now all the people came upon a honeycomb, and there was honey on 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 upon the honeycomb, look, its bees had left, but no man would raise 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 did not hear when his father commanded the people with the oath, so he put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and raised his hand to his mouth, and his eyes brightened.

28 Tada jedan iz naroda progovori i reče mu: “Tvoj je otac zakleo narod govoreći: 'Proklet bio onaj koji okusi hrane danas!'”

Then one of the people answered, and said, "Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, 'Cursed is the man who eats food this day.'" 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.

Then Jonathan said, "My father has troubled the land. Please look how my eyes have been 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 better if the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies when they found it, for the slaughter among the Philistines would have been greater."

31 Onoga dana potukoše Filistejce od Mikmasa sve do Ajalona, a narod je bio na kraju svojih snaga.

They struck of the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very faint;

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 the people pounced upon the spoil, and took sheep, and cattle, and calves, and killed 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!”

Then they told Saul, saying, "Look, the people are sinning against YHWH, in that they eat meat with the blood." He said, "You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to me this day."

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 say to them, 'Each one of you bring to me his ox or his sheep, and slaughter them here and eat, and do not sin against YHWH by eating with the blood.'" So everyone of the people brought whatever he had at hand with him, and slaughtered it there.

35 A Šaul podiže žrtvenik Jahvi; bijaše to prvi žrtvenik koji je podigao Jahvi.

Saul built an altar to YHWH. This was the first altar that he built to YHWH.

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!”

Saul said, "Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them." They said, "Do whatever seems good to you." Then the priest said, "Let us draw near here to 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.

Saul asked counsel of God, "Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?" But he did not answer him that day.

38 Zato Šaul reče: “Pristupite ovamo, svi narodni glavari! Ispitajte i vidite u čemu je bio današnji prestupak.

And Saul said, "Come here, all you leaders of the people; and investigate and see how this sin has arisen 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.

For, as YHWH lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die." But there was not a man among all the people who answered 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!”

Then he said to all Israel, "You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side." The people said to Saul, "Do what seems good to you."

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.

Therefore Saul said, "YHWH, God of Israel, why have you not answered your servant this day? If this sin is mine or in Jonathan my son, YHWH, God of Israel, give Urim. But if this sin is in your people Israel, give Thummim." And Jonathan and Saul were chosen, but the people were cleared.

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. Whomever YHWH shall indicate to be taken by lot, let him die." And the people said to Saul, "This thing is not to be." And Saul prevailed over the people, and they cast lots between him and Jonathan his son. And Jonathan was selected.

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!”

Then Saul said to Jonathan, "Tell me what you have done." And Jonathan told him, and said, "I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the staff that was in my hand; and look, I must die."

44 Šaul odgovori: “Tako mi Bog učinio zlo i dodao mi drugo ako doista ne umreš, Jonatane!”

And Saul said, "God do the same to me and more also if you are not put to death this day."

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.

The people said to Saul, "Shall he who has worked this great salvation in Israel die today? As YHWH lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has worked with God this day." So the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die.

46 Šaul odusta od potjere za Filistejcima, a Filistejci se vratiše u svoj kraj.

Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.

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.

Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the people of Ammon, and against Edom, and against Beth Rehob, and against the king of Zobah, and against the Philistines; and wherever he turned, he was victorious.

48 Dao je mnogo dokaza svoje hrabrosti, potukao je Amalečane i izbavio Izraela iz ruku onih koji su ga pljačkali.

And he did valiantly, and struck Amalek, and delivered Israel out of the hand of its plunderers.

49 Šaulovi sinovi bijahu Jonatan, Išjo i Malki-Šua, a od njegovih dviju kćeri starija se zvala Meraba, a mlađa Mikala.

Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Jishvi, and Malkishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merob, and the name of the younger Mikal:

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 Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the commander of his army was Abiner the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.

51 Jer Kiš, Šaulov otac, i Ner, Abnerov otac, bijahu sinovi Abielovi.

Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the 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.

There was severe war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him to him.
