1 Samuelova 19
1 Šaul razloži svome sinu Jonatanu i svim svojim dvoranima svoju namjeru da ubije Davida. Ali Jonatan, Šaulov sin, vrlo je volio Davida.
Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Saul's son Jonathan liked David very much.
2 I Jonatan to javi Davidu ovako: “Moj otac Šaul kani te ubiti. Budi, dakle, na oprezu sutra ujutro, ostani u skrovištu i pritaji se.
So Jonathan told David, saying, "Saul seeks to kill you. Please take care of yourself in the morning, and keep hidden in a secret place.
3 A ja ću izaći i stajat ću pokraj svoga oca u polju gdje ti budeš i govorit ću za tebe sa svojim ocem. Kad saznam kako je, javit ću ti.”
I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you."
4 Jonatan pohvali Davida svome ocu Šaulu i reče mu ovako: “Neka se kralj ne ogriješi o svoga slugu Davida jer se on nije ništa ogriješio o tebe; naprotiv, ono što je radio bilo je od velike koristi za tebe.
Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, "Do not let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you;
5 On je stavio život svoj na kocku, ubio je Filistejca i Jahve je pribavio veliku pobjedu svemu Izraelu: vidio si i radovao se. Zašto bi se, dakle, ogriješio o nevinu krv ubijajući Davida bez razloga?”
for he put his life in his hand, and struck the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?"
6 Šaul posluša Jonatanove riječi i zakle se: “Živoga mi Jahve, David neće umrijeti!”
Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, "As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death."
7 Tada Jonatan dozva Davida i kaza mu sve te riječi. Zatim Jonatan dovede Davida k Šaulu i David opet dobi službu koju je imao prije.
Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as before.
8 Kad je rat i opet buknuo, iziđe David na bojište da se bori s Filistejcima; i porazi ih tako da su pobjegli pred njim.
There was war again. David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.
9 Tada zao duh Jahvin obuze Šaula: kad je sjedio u svojoj kući, s kopljem u ruci, a David rukom udarao u harfu,
A harmful spirit from the LORD was on Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.
10 Šaul pokuša da svojim kopljem pribode Davida uza zid, ali on izmakne Šaulovu udarcu te se koplje zabode u zid. David pobježe i spasi se.
Saul sought to pin David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he stuck the spear into the wall. David fled, and escaped that night.
11 Iste noći Šaul posla glasnike da nadziru Davidovu kuću jer je htio da ubije Davida u rano jutro. Ali Davidova žena Mikala javi to Davidu govoreći: “Ako noćas ne umakneš na sigurno mjesto, sutra ćeš biti mrtav!”
Saul sent messengers to David's house, to watch him, and to kill him in the morning. Mikal, David's wife, told him, saying, "If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed."
12 Tada Mikala spusti Davida kroz prozor. On ode i spasi se bijegom.
So Mikal let David down through the window. He went, fled, and escaped.
13 A Mikala uze idol, položi ga u postelju, stavi mu oko glave kozju dlaku i pokri ga pokrivačem.
Mikal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.
14 Kad je Šaul poslao glasnike da uhvate Davida, ona im reče: “Bolestan je.”
When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, "He is sick."
15 Ali Šaul vrati glasnike natrag da vide Davida i zapovjedi im: “Donesite ga k meni u postelji da ga ubijem!”
Then he sent the messengers to see David, saying, "Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him."
16 A kad su glasnici ušli, gle: u postelji bješe idol, s kozjom dlakom oko glave!
When the messengers came in, look, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats' hair at its head.
17 Tada Šaul reče Mikali: “Zašto si me tako prevarila i pustila moga neprijatelja da pobjegne i da se spasi?” A Mikala odgovori Šaulu: “On mi je rekao: 'Pusti me da odem, ili ću te ubiti!'”
Saul said to Mikal, "Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemy go, so that he is escaped?" Mikal answered Saul, "He said, 'Let me go. Why should I kill you?'"
18 Tako je David pobjegao i spasio se. I ode on k Samuelu u Ramu i javi mu sve što mu je učinio Šaul. Potom odoše on i Samuel i nastaniše se u Najotu.
Now David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and lived in the dwellings.
19 A Šaulu javiše ovako: “Eno Davida u Najotu u Rami.”
And it was told to Saul, saying, "Look, David is in the dwellings at Ramah."
20 Tada Šaul posla glasnike da uhvate Davida. Kad su oni vidjeli zbor proroka u proročkom zanosu, a Samuela im na čelu, obuze Božji duh i Šaulove glasnike te i oni padoše u proročki zanos.
And Saul sent messengers to capture David. But when they saw a company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they prophesied.
21 Kad su to javili Šaulu, on posla druge glasnike, ali i oni padoše u proročki zanos. Potom Šaul posla i treće glasnike, ali i oni padoše u proročki zanos.
When it was told to Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
22 Tada Šaul krenu sam u Ramu i kad dođe do velikog bunara kod Sekua, zapita: “Gdje su Samuel i David?” I odgovoriše mu: “Eno ih u Najotu u Rami.”
And Saul became very angry, and he himself also went to Ramah, and came to the cistern of the threshing floor that is on the bare hill. And he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" And one said, "Look, they are in the dwellings at Ramah."
23 On odmah pođe prema Najotu u Rami. Ali i njega obuze duh Božji te je išao u proročkom zanosu sve dok nije došao u Najot u Rami.
So he went to the dwellings at Ramah. Then the Spirit of God came on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to the dwellings in Ramah.
24 Tu i on svuče svoje haljine jer i njega obuze zanos pred Samuelom; zatim je legao gol i ostao tako cio onaj dan i svu noć. Tako je nastala uzrečica: “Zar je i Šaul među prorocima?”
And he stripped off his clothes and prophesied before them, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Thus it is said, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
