1 Samuelova 18
1 Kad je David završio razgovor sa Šaulom, Jonatanova se duša prikloni Davidovoj duši i Jonatan ga zavolje kao samoga sebe.
And it comes to pass, when he finishes to speak to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan has been bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loves him as his own soul.
2 Šaul zadrža Davida onoga istog dana kod sebe i nije mu dao da se vrati kući svoga oca.
And Saul takes him on that day, and has not permitted him to return to the house of his father.
3 I Jonatan sklopi savez s Davidom jer ga je ljubio kao samoga sebe.
And Jonathan makes—David also—a covenant, because he loves him as his own soul,
4 I skide Jonatan plašt koji je imao na sebi i dade ga Davidu; tako i svoju odoru, čak i svoj mač, svoj luk i svoj pojas.
and Jonathan strips himself of the upper robe which [is] on him, and gives it to David, and his long robe, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
5 Na svim svojim pohodima, kamo ga je god slao Šaul, David bijaše sretne ruke i Šaul ga postavi na čelo svojim ratnicima; omilje on svemu narodu, pa i Šaulovim dvoranima.
And David goes out wherever Saul sends him; he acted wisely, and Saul sets him over the men of war, and it is good in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.
6 Za njihova povratka, kad se David vraćao ubivši Filistejca, izađoše žene iz svih gradova Izraelovih u susret kralju Šaulu veselo kličući, pjevajući i plešući uza zvuke bubnjeva i cimbala.
And it comes to pass, in their coming in, in David’s returning from striking the Philistine, that the women come out from all the cities of Israel to sing—also the dancers—to meet Saul the king, with tambourines, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments;
7 Žene su plešući pjevale: “Pobi Šaul svoje tisuće, David na desetke tisuća.”
and the women answer—those playing, and say, “Saul has struck among his thousands, And David among his myriads.”
8 Šaul se vrlo ražestio, nije mu bila draga ta pjesma. Zato reče: “Davidu su dale desetke tisuća, a meni samo tisuće! Još mu samo treba kraljevstvo!”
And it is exceedingly displeasing to Saul, and this thing is evil in his eyes, and he says, “They have given myriads to David, and they have given the thousands to me, and what more [is there] for him but the kingdom?”
9 I od toga dana Šaul poprijeko gledaše Davida.
And Saul is eyeing David from that day and from then on.
10 Sutradan zao duh Božji napade Šaula, tako da je bjesnio po kući. David je rukom udarao u harfu kao drugih dana, a Šaul je u ruci imao koplje.
And it comes to pass, on the next day, that the spirit of sadness [from] God prospers over Saul, and he prophesies in the midst of the house, and David is playing with his hand, as [he did] day by day, and the javelin [is] in the hand of Saul,
11 I Šaul baci koplje govoreći u sebi: “Sad ću pribiti Davida uza zid!” Ali mu se David izmače dva puta.
and Saul casts the javelin and says, “I strike through David, even through the wall”; and David turns around out of his presence twice.
12 Šaul se poče bojati Davida, jer je Jahve bio s njim a od Šaula je odstupio.
And Saul is afraid of the presence of David, for YHWH has been with him, and He has turned aside from Saul;
13 Zato ga Šaul ukloni iz svoje blizine i postavi ga za tisućnika: on je izlazio i vraćao se na čelu naroda.
and Saul turns him aside from him, and appoints him to himself [for] head of one thousand, and he goes out and comes in, before the people.
14 David je imao uspjeha na svim svojim putovima jer Jahve bijaše s njim.
And David is acting wisely in all his ways, and YHWH [is] with him,
15 Kad je Šaul vidio da David ima mnogo uspjeha, obuze ga strah od njega.
and Saul sees that he is acting very wisely, and is afraid of him,
16 Ali svemu Izraelu i Judi omilje David jer ih je on vodio na svim njihovim putovima.
and all Israel and Judah love David when he is going out and coming in before them.
17 Šaul reče Davidu: “Evo svoju najstariju kćer Merabu dat ću ti za ženu, samo mi budi hrabar i vodi Jahvine bojeve!” Mišljaše Šaul: “Neću da padne od moje ruke, nego filistejska ruka neka se digne na njega!”
And Saul says to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab—I give her to you for a wife; only, be for a son of valor to me, and fight the battles of YHWH”; and Saul said, “Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
18 A David odgovori: “Tko sam ja i što znači moj život, što li kuća oca mojega u Izraelu da budem kraljev zet?”
And David says to Saul, “Who [am] I? And what [is] my life—the family of my father in Israel—that I am son-in-law of the king?”
19 I kad dođe vrijeme da Šaulova kći Meraba pođe za Davida, dadoše je za ženu Adrielu iz Mehole.
And it comes to pass, at the time of the giving of Merab daughter of Saul to David, that she has been given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.
20 Ali je Davida ljubila Šaulova kći Mikala; kad su to javili Šaulu, bilo mu je pravo.
And Michal daughter of Saul loves David, and they declare [it] to Saul, and the thing is right in his eyes,
21 Reče on u sebi: “Dat ću mu je, ali će mu ona biti zamka i ruka filistejska dići će se na njega.” (Šaul je po drugi put rekao Davidu: “Danas ćeš mi biti zet.”)
and Saul says, “I give her to him, and she is for a snare to him, and the hand of the Philistines is on him”; and Saul says to David, “By the second—you become my son-in-law today.”
22 Tada Šaul zapovjedi svojim slugama ovako: “Razgovarajte se s Davidom tajno i recite mu: 'Gle, omilio si kralju i svi te njegovi dvorani vole; zato budi kraljev zet.'”
And Saul commands his servants, “Speak to David gently, saying, Behold, the king has delighted in you, and all his servants have loved you, and now, be son-in-law of the king.”
23 I Šaulove sluge ponoviše te riječi Davidu, ali im David odgovori: “Zar je u vašim očima malenkost postati kraljev zet? Ja sam samo siromah i mali čovjek!”
And the servants of Saul speak these words in the ears of David, and David says, “Is it a light thing in your eyes to be son-in-law of the king—and I a poor man, and lightly esteemed?”
24 Šaulove sluge dojaviše to Šaulu govoreći: “Evo riječi što ih je rekao David.”
And the servants of Saul declare [it] to him, saying, “David has spoken according to these words.”
25 A Šaul odgovori: “Ovako recite Davidu: 'Kralj ne traži nikakva ženidbenog dara nego samo sto filistejskih obrezaka da se osveti kraljevim neprijateljima.'” Šaul mišljaše da će tako Davida gurnuti u ruke Filistejcima.
And Saul says, “Thus you say to David, There is no delight for the king in dowry, but in one hundred foreskins of the Philistines—to be avenged on the enemies of the king”; and Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.
26 Šaulove sluge dojaviše te riječi Davidu, a njemu bijaše po volji da postane kraljev zet. Još prije nego što je isteklo vrijeme,
And his servants declare these words to David, and the thing is right in the eyes of David, to be son-in-law of the king; and the days have not been full,
27 spremi se David i krenu sa svojim ljudima te ubi Filistejcima dvije stotine ljudi; i donese njihove obreske i predade ih kralju na broj da bi postao njegov zet. Tada mu Šaul dade svoju kćer Mikalu za ženu.
and David rises and goes, he and his men, and strikes two hundred men among the Philistines, and David brings in their foreskins, and they set them before the king, to be son-in-law of the king; and Saul gives his daughter Michal to him for a wife.
28 Šaul je jasno vidio da je Jahve s Davidom i da ga ljubi sav dom Izraelov.
And Saul sees and knows that YHWH [is] with David, and Michal daughter of Saul has loved him,
29 I Šaul se još većma poboja Davida i posta neprijatelj Davidu zauvijek.
and Saul adds to be afraid of the presence of David still; and Saul is an enemy of David [for] all the days.
30 A filistejski su knezovi izlazili u boj, ali koliko su god puta izlazili, David je imao više uspjeha nego svi Šaulovi dvorani; i tako ime njegovo posta vrlo slavno.
And the princes of the Philistines come out, and it comes to pass from the time of their coming out, David has acted more wisely than any of the servants of Saul, and his name is very precious.
