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.

And the day cometh that Jonathan son of Saul saith unto the young man bearing his weapons, 'Come, and we pass over unto the station of the Philistines, which [is] on the other side of this;' and to his father he hath not declared [it].

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 is abiding at the extremity of Gibeah, under the pomegranate which [is] in Migron, and the people who [are] with him, 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 Ahiah, son of Ahitub, brother of I-Chabod, son of Phinehas son of Eli priest of Jehovah in Shiloh, bearing an ephod; and the people knew not that Jonathan hath 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.

And between the passages where Jonathan sought to pass over unto the station of the Philistines [is] the edge of a rock on the one side, and the edge of a rock on the other side, and the name of the one is 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 edge [is] fixed on the north over-against Michmash, and the one on the south over-against Gibeah.

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 saith unto the young man bearing his weapons, 'Come, and we pass over unto the station of these uncircumcised; it may be Jehovah doth work for us, for there is no restraint to Jehovah to save 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 the bearer of his weapons saith to him, 'Do all that [is] in thy heart; turn for thee; lo, I [am] with thee, as thine own heart.'

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

And Jonathan saith, 'Lo, we are passing over unto the men, and are revealed unto 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 thus they say unto us, 'Stand still till we have come unto you,' then we have stood in our place, and do not go up unto 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.”

and if thus they say, 'Come up against us,' then we have gone up, for Jehovah hath given them into our hand, and this to us [is] the sign.

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

And revealed are both of them unto the station of the Philistines, and the Philistines say, 'Lo, Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hid 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.”

And the men of the station answer Jonathan, and the bearer of his weapons, and say, 'Come up unto us, and we cause you to know something.' And Jonathan saith unto the bearer of his weapons, 'Come up after me, for Jehovah hath given 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.

And Jonathan goeth up on his hands, and on his feet, and the bearer of his weapons after him; and they fall before Jonathan, and the bearer of his weapons is putting to death after 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 smiting which Jonathan and the bearer of his weapons have smitten is of about twenty men, in about half a furrow of a yoke of a 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 is a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people, the station and the destroyers have trembled — even they, and the earth shaketh, and it becometh a trembling 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 see, and lo, the multitude hath melted away, and it goeth on, and is beaten down.

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 saith to the people who [are] with him, 'Inspect, I pray you, and see; who hath gone from us?' and they inspect, and lo, Jonathan and the bearer of his weapons are not.

18 Tada Šaul reče Ahiji: “Primakni oplećak! Posavjetuj se s Jahvom!” On je, naime, tada nosio oplećak pred sinovima Izraelovim.

And Saul saith to Ahiah, 'Bring nigh the ark of God;' for the ark of God hath been on that day with the sons 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 it cometh to pass, while Saul spake unto the priest, that the noise which [is] in the camp of the Philistines goeth on, going on and becoming great, and Saul saith unto the priest, 'Remove 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.

And Saul is called, and all the people who [are] with him, and they come in unto the battle, and, lo, the sword of each hath been against his neighbour — a very great destruction.

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.

And the Hebrews [who] have been for the Philistines as heretofore, who had gone up with them into the camp, have turned round, even they, to be with Israel who [are] 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 men of Israel, who are hiding themselves in the hill-country of Ephraim, have heard that the Philistines have fled, and they pursue — even they — after them in battle.

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

And Jehovah saveth Israel on that day, and the battle hath passed over to Beth-Aven.

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 have been distressed on that day, and Saul adjureth the people, saying, 'Cursed [is] the man who eateth food till the evening, and I have been avenged of mine enemies;' and none of the people hath tasted food.

25 Ali je ondje bilo medenoga saća na površini zemlje.

And all [they of] the land have come into a forest, and there is honey on the face of the field;

26 Kad je narod došao onamo, vidje gdje teče med, ali nitko ne prinese ruke k ustima, jer se narod bojao zakletve.

and the people come in unto the forest, and lo, the honey dropped, and none is moving his hand unto 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.

And Jonathan hath not heard of his father's adjuring the people, and putteth forth the end of the rod, which [is] in his hand, and dippeth it in the honeycomb, and bringeth back his hand unto his mouth — and his eyes see!

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

And a man of the people answereth and saith, 'Thy father certainly adjured the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who eateth food to-day; and the people are weary.'

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 saith, 'My father hath troubled the land; see, I pray you, that mine eyes have become bright 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 well eaten to-day of the spoil of its enemies which it hath found, for now, the smiting hath not been great among the Philistines.'

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

And they smite on that day among the Philistines from Michmash to Aijalon, and the people are very weary,

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 make unto the spoil, and take sheep, and oxen, and sons of the herd, and slaughter on the earth, and the people eat 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 declare to Saul, saying, 'Lo, the people are sinning against Jehovah, to eat with the blood.' And he saith, 'Ye have dealt treacherously, roll unto me to-day 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 saith, 'Be ye scattered among the people, and ye have said to them, Bring ye nigh unto me each his ox, and each his sheep; and ye have slain [them] in this place, and eaten, and ye do not sin against Jehovah to eat with the blood.' And all the people bring nigh each his ox, in his hand, that night, and slaughter [them] there.

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

And Saul buildeth an alter to Jehovah; with it he hath begun to build altars to Jehovah.

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 saith, 'Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and we prey upon them till the light of the morning, and leave not a man of them.' And they say, 'All that is good in thine eyes do.' And the priest saith, '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 asketh of God, 'Do I go down after the Philistines? dost Thou give them into the hand of Israel?' and He hath not answered him on that day.

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

And Saul saith, 'Draw ye nigh hither all, the chiefs of the people, and know and see in what this sin hath been to-day;

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, Jehovah liveth, who is saving Israel: surely if it be in Jonathan my son, surely he doth certainly die;' and none is answering him out of all the people.

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 saith unto all Israel, 'Ye — ye are on one side, and I and Jonathan my son are on another side;' and the people say unto Saul, 'That which is good in thine eyes do.'

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 saith unto Jehovah, God of Israel, 'Give perfection;' and Jonathan and Saul are captured, and the people went out.

42 Šaul nastavi: “Bacite ždrijeb između mene i moga sina Jonatana!” I ždrijeb pade na Jonatana.

And Saul saith, 'Cast between me and Jonathan my son;' and Jonathan is captured.

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 saith unto Jonathan, 'Declare to me, what hast thou done?' and Jonathan declareth to him, and saith, 'I certainly tasted with the end of the rod that [is] in my hand a little honey; lo, I die!'

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

And Saul saith, 'Thus doth God do, and thus doth He add, for thou dost certainly die, 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 say unto Saul, 'Doth Jonathan die who wrought this great salvation in Israel? — a profanation! Jehovah liveth, if there falleth from the hair of his head to the earth, for with God he hath wrought this day;' and the people rescue Jonathan, and he hath not died.

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

And Saul goeth up from after the Philistines, and the Philistines have gone to their 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.

and Saul captured the kingdom over Israel, and he fighteth round about against all his enemies, against Moab, and against the Bene-Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines, and whithersoever he turneth he doth vex [them].

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

And he maketh a force, and smiteth Amalek, and delivereth Israel out of the hand of its spoiler.

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 are Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchi-Shua; as to the name of his two daughters, the name of the first-born [is] Merab, and the name of the younger Michal;

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 the wife of Saul [is] Ahinoam, daughter of Ahimaaz; and the name of the head of his host [is] Abner son of Ner, uncle of Saul;

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

and Kish [is] father of Saul, and Ner father of Abner [is] son of Ahiel.

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 the war is severe against the Philistines all the days of Saul; when Saul hath seen any mighty man, and any son of valour, then he doth gather him unto himself.
