1 Samuelova 20
1 David pobježe iz Najota u Rami i dođe k Jonatanu te mu reče: “Što sam učinio? Kakva je bila moja krivica i što sam zgriješio tvome ocu da traži moj život?”
And David flees from Naioth in Ramah, and comes, and says before Jonathan, “What have I done? What [is] my iniquity? And what [is] my sin before your father, that he is seeking my life?”
2 A on mu odgovori: “Daleko od tebe ta misao! Ti nećeš poginuti. Eto, moj otac ne poduzima ništa, bilo veliko ili ne bilo, a da to meni ne otkrije. Zašto bi, dakle, moj otac krio od mene upravo to? Neće to biti!”
And he says to him, “Far be it! You do not die; behold, my father does not do anything great or small and does not uncover my ear; and why does my father hide this thing from me? This [thing] is not.”
3 Ali se David zakle i reče: “Tvoj otac dobro zna da sam ja stekao tvoju naklonost, pa misli: 'Ne treba da Jonatan išta zna o tome, da ne bude žalostan.' Ali živoga mi Jahve i života mi tvoga, ima samo jedan korak između mene i smrti.”
And David swears again and says, “Your father has certainly known that I have found grace in your eyes, and he says, Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he is grieved; and yet, YHWH lives, and your soul lives, but—as a step between me and death.”
4 Tada Jonatan upita Davida: “Što želiš da učinim za tebe?”
And Jonathan says to David, “What does your soul [desire]? Command and I do it for you.”
5 A David odgovori Jonatanu: “Evo, sutra je mladi mjesec i ja bih morao jesti s kraljem za stolom; ali me ti pusti da odem, da se sakrijem u polju do večera.
And David says to Jonathan, “Behold, the new moon [is] tomorrow; and I certainly sit with the king to eat; and you have sent me away, and I have been hidden in a field until the third evening;
6 Ako tvoj otac opazi da me nema, reći ćeš mu ovako: 'David me uporno molio da ga pustim da skokne u svoj grad Betlehem, jer se ondje slavi godišnja žrtva za svu njegovu obitelj.'
if your father looks after me at all, then you have said, David earnestly asked of me to run to his city of Beth-Lehem, for there [is] a sacrifice of the days for all the family.
7 Ako on rekne: 'Dobro!', tvoj je sluga spašen. Ako li plane gnjevom, znaj da je čvrsto naumio da me pogubi.
If thus he says: Good; [there is] peace for your servant; and if it is very displeasing to him—know that the evil has been determined by him;
8 Iskaži, dakle, milost svome sluzi kad si slugu svoga uveo sa sobom u savez Jahvin. Ali ako ima kakva krivica na meni, ubij me sam; zašto bi me vodio k svome ocu?”
and you have done kindness to your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of YHWH with you—and if there is iniquity in me, put me to death yourself; for why [is] this [that] you bring me to your father?”
9 A Jonatan mu odgovori: “Daleko od tebe ta misao! Kad bih ja pouzdano znao da je moj otac čvrsto naumio da na tebe svali nesreću, zar ti ja ne bih dojavio?”
And Jonathan says, “Far be it from you! For I certainly do not know that the evil has been determined by my father to come on you, and I do not declare it to you.”
10 David upita Jonatana: “A tko će mi javiti ako ti tvoj otac odgovori što zlo?”
And David says to Jonathan, “Who declares [it] to me? Or what [if] your father answers you sharply?”
11 Jonatan odgovori Davidu: “Hodi, izađimo u polje!” I izađu obojica u polje.
And Jonathan says to David, “Come, and we go out into the field”; and both of them go out into the field.
12 Tada Jonatan reče Davidu: “Jahve, Bog Izraelov, neka mi bude svjedok! Ja ću iskušati svoga oca sutra u ovo doba. Ako bude dobro po Davida, a ja ne pošaljem k tebi da te obavijestim,
And Jonathan says to David, “YHWH, God of Israel, [is my witness]—when I search out my father about [this] time tomorrow [or] the third [day], and behold, [there is] good toward David, and I do not then send to you, and have uncovered your ear—
13 neka Jahve učini to zlo Jonatanu i neka mu doda drugo zlo! Ako li mome ocu bude drago da ti učini zlo, javit ću ti i pustit ću te da odeš u miru; i Jahve neka bude s tobom kao što je bio s mojim ocem!
thus YHWH does to Jonathan, and thus He adds; when the evil concerning you is good to my father, then I have uncovered your ear, and sent you away, and you have gone in peace, and YHWH is with you, as he was with my father;
14 Ako ja još budem živ, moći ćeš mi iskazati milosrđe Jahvino; ako li umrem,
and not only while I am alive do you do the kindness of YHWH with me, and I do not die,
15 ne uskrati svoje dobrote mome domu dovijeka! Kad Jahve redom iskorijeni Davidove neprijatelje s lica zemlje,
but you do not cut off your kindness from my house for all time, nor in YHWH’s cutting off the enemies of David, each one from off the face of the ground.”
16 neka ime Jonatanovo ne iščezne s domom Šaulovim, inače će Jahve tražiti o tome račun od Davida.”
So Jonathan cuts [a covenant] with the house of David, and YHWH has sought [it] from the hand of the enemies of David;
17 Tada se Jonatan još jednom zakune Davidu ljubavlju svojom, jer ga je ljubio svom ljubavlju duše svoje.
and Jonathan adds to cause David to swear, because he loves him, for he has loved him [as] the love [for] his own soul.
18 Potom reče Jonatan Davidu: “Sutra je mladi mjesec i opazit će se da te nema, jer će tvoje mjesto biti prazno.
And Jonathan says to him, “Tomorrow [is] the new moon, and you have been looked after, for your seat is looked after;
19 Prekosutra će se još očitije vidjeti da te nema, a ti dođi na mjesto gdje si se bio sakrio u dan onoga događaja i sjedni kraj onoga humka što ga znaš.
and on the third day you certainly come down, and have come to the place where you were hidden in the day of the work, and have remained near the stone of Ezel.
20 A ja ću prekosutra izmetati strijele na onu stranu kao da gađam onamo.
And I shoot three of the arrows at the side, sending out at a mark for myself;
21 A onda ću poslati momka i reći mu: 'Idi! Nađi strijelu!' Ako onda doviknem momku: 'Pazi, strijela je ovamo bliže od tebe, donesi je!' - ti onda dođi, jer je za tebe dobro i nema nikakve opasnosti, tako mi Jahve živoga!
and behold, I send the youth, [saying], Go, find the arrows. If I say to the youth at all, Behold, the arrows [are] on this side of you—take them and come, for [there is] peace for you, and there is no [adverse] word—[as] YHWH lives.
22 Ako li doviknem momku: 'Pazi, strijela je onamo dalje od tebe!' - ti onda otiđi, jer te Jahve šalje odavde.
And if thus I say to the young man, Behold, the arrows [are] beyond you—go, for YHWH has sent you away;
23 A za ovaj dogovor što smo ga ugovorili ja i ti neka je Jahve svjedok između mene i tebe dovijeka!”
as for the thing which you and I have spoken, behold, YHWH [is] between me and you for all time.”
24 Potom se David sakri u polju. Kad je došao mlađak, kralj je sjeo za stol da jede.
And David is hidden in the field, and it is the new moon, and the king sits down by the food to eat,
25 Kralj sjede na svoje obično mjesto, na mjesto uza zid, Jonatan se smjesti sučelice njemu, Abner sjede kraj Šaula, a Davidovo mjesto osta prazno.
and the king sits on his seat, as time by time, on a seat by the wall, and Jonathan rises, and Abner sits at the side of Saul, and David’s place is looked after.
26 Ali Šaul ne reče ništa onaj dan jer mišljaše: “Dogodilo mu se štogod, bit će da nije čist.”
And Saul has not spoken anything on that day, for he said, “It [is] an accident; he is not clean—surely not clean.”
27 Sutradan iza mladog mjeseca, drugi dan u mjesecu, opet Davidovo mjesto osta prazno, i Šaul upita svoga sina Jonatana: “Zašto Jišajev sin nije došao na objed ni jučer ni danas?”
And it comes to pass on the second day of the new moon, that David’s place is looked after, and Saul says to his son Jonathan, “Why has the son of Jesse not come in, either yesterday or today, to the food?”
28 A Jonatan odgovori Šaulu: “David me uporno molio da ga pustim da ide u Betlehem.
And Jonathan answers Saul, “David has earnestly asked [permission] from me [to go] to Beth-Lehem,
29 Rekao mi je: 'Pusti me da idem jer slavimo obiteljsku žrtvu u mom gradu i moja su me braća pozvala da dođem. Ako sam, dakle, stekao tvoju naklonost, daj mi dopust da pohodim svoju braću.' Eto, zato ga nema kod kraljeva stola.”
and he says, Please send me away, for we have a family sacrifice in the city, and my brother has given command to me himself, and now, if I have found grace in your eyes, please let me go away and see my brothers; therefore he has not come to the table of the king.”
30 Tada Šaul planu gnjevom na Jonatana i reče mu: “Izrode i propalico! Misliš da ne znam da si u savezu s Jišajevim sinom, na sramotu svoju i na sramotu majčinu krilu!
And the anger of Saul burns against Jonathan, and he says to him, “Son of a perverse [woman] of rebellion! Have I not known that you are fixing on the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of the nakedness of your mother?
31 Jer dokle god bude živ na zemlji Jišajev sin, nećeš biti siguran ni ti ni tvoje kraljevstvo. Zato sad pošalji po njega i dovedi ga k meni jer je osuđen na smrt.”
For all the days that the son of Jesse lives on the ground you are not established, you and your kingdom; and now, send and bring him to me, for he [is] a son of death.”
32 A Jonatan odvrati svome ocu Šaulu i reče mu: “Zašto on mora umrijeti? Što je učinio?”
And Jonathan answers his father Saul and says to him, “Why is he put to death? What has he done?”
33 Tada Šaul izmetnu koplje na sina da ga probode. Jonatan vidje da je njegov otac odlučio da ubije Davida.
And Saul casts the javelin at him to strike him, and Jonathan knows that it has been determined by his father to put David to death.
34 Jonatan ustade od stola sav jarostan i nije jeo ništa toga drugog dana u mjesecu jer se zabrinuo za Davida što ga je njegov otac pogrdio.
And Jonathan rises from the table in the heat of anger, and has not eaten food on the second day of the new moon, for he has been grieved for David, for his father put him to shame.
35 Sutradan ujutro izađe Jonatan u polje prema dogovoru s Davidom; s njim je išao mlad momak.
And it comes to pass in the morning, that Jonathan goes out into the field for the appointment with David, and a little youth [is] with him.
36 I on reče svome momku: “Ti ćeš otrčati i naći strijele koje ću sada izmetnuti.” I momak otrča, a Jonatan odape strijelu tako da je preletjela preko njega.
And he says to his youth, “Now run, find the arrows which I am shooting”; the youth is running, and he has shot the arrow, causing [it] to pass over him.
37 Kad je momak došao do mjesta gdje je bila strijela koju je izbacio Jonatan, viknu Jonatan za momkom: “Nije li strijela onamo dalje od tebe?”
And the youth comes to the place of the arrow which Jonathan has shot, and Jonathan calls after the youth, and says, “Is the arrow not beyond you?”
38 Još Jonatan viknu za momkom: “Brže! Požuri se! Ne stoj!” Jonatanov momak diže strijelu i donese je svome gospodaru.
And Jonathan calls after the youth, “Speed, hurry, do not stand”; and Jonathan’s youth gathers the arrows, and comes to his lord.
39 Momak nije ništa opazio, samo su Jonatan i David znali o čemu se radi.
And the youth has not known anything, only Jonathan and David knew the word.
40 Nato Jonatan preda oružje momku i reče mu: “Idi i odnesi to u grad!”
And Jonathan gives his weapons to the youth whom he has and says to him, “Go, carry into the city.”
41 Kad je momak otišao, David iziđe iza humka, pade ničice na zemlju i pokloni se tri puta. Potom se izljubiše i plakahu zajedno dok se nisu isplakali.
The youth has gone, and David has risen from Ezel, at the south, and falls on his face to the earth, and bows himself three times, and they kiss one another, and they weep with one another, until David exerted himself;
42 Zatim Jonatan reče Davidu: “Idi u miru! Što smo se obojica zakleli Jahvinim imenom, neka Jahve bude svjedok između mene i tebe, između moga potomstva i tvoga potomstva dovijeka!” Nato David usta i ode, a Jonatan se vrati u grad.
and Jonathan says to David, “Go in peace, in that we have sworn—the two of us—in the Name of YHWH, saying, YHWH is between me and you, and between my seed and your seed—for all time”; and he rises and goes; and Jonathan has gone into the city.
