1 Samuelova 30

1 Kad je David sa svojim ljudima treći dan stigao u Siklag, a to Amalečani bijahu navalili na Negeb i na Siklag; opljačkali su Siklag i ognjem ga spalili.

Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the South and on Ziklag, and had overcome Ziklag and put it on fire;

2 Zarobili su žene i sve koji su bili ondje, malo i veliko. Nisu ubili nikoga, nego su samo odveli roblje i otišli svojim putem.

And had made the women and all who were there, small and great, prisoners: they had not put any of them to death, but had taken them all away.

3 Kad je, dakle, David sa svojim ljudima došao u grad, vidješe da je grad spaljen, a njihove žene, njihovi sinovi i njihove kćeri odvedeni u ropstvo.

And when David and his men came to the town, they saw that it had been burned down, and their wives and their sons and daughters had been made prisoners.

4 Tada David i ljudi koji bijahu s njim podigoše glas i plakahu dok im nije ponestalo snage za plač.

Then David and the people who were with him gave themselves up to weeping till they were able to go on weeping no longer.

5 I obje Davidove žene bijahu odvedene u ropstvo - Ahinoama Jizreelka i Abigajila, Nabalova žena iz Karmela.

And David's two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel, had been made prisoners.

6 David se našao u velikoj nevolji jer su ljudi počeli govoriti da će ga kamenovati, budući da su svi bili ogorčeni, svaki zbog svojih sinova i zbog svojih kćeri. Ali se David ohrabri u Jahvi, svome Bogu.

And David was greatly troubled; for the people were talking of stoning him, because their hearts were bitter, every man sorrowing for his sons and his daughters: but David made himself strong in the Lord his God.

7 David reče svećeniku Ebjataru, Ahimelekovu sinu: “Donesi mi ovamo oplećak!” I Ebjatar donese Davidu oplećak.

And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, Come here to me with the ephod. And Abiathar took the ephod to David.

8 Tada David upita Jahvu za savjet govoreći: “Hoću li u potjeru za onim razbojnicima i hoću li ih stići?” A on mu odgovori: “Idi u potjeru jer ćeš ih zacijelo stići i zarobljenike ćeš izbaviti.”

Then David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go after this band? will I be able to overtake them? And in answer he said, Go after them, for you will certainly overtake them, and get back everything.

9 I pođe David sa šest stotina ljudi koji bijahu s njim i dođoše do potoka Besora.

So David went, and his six hundred men went with him, and they came to the stream Besor.

10 Odavde David sa četiri stotine ljudi nastavi potjeru, a ostadoše dvije stotine ljudi što bijahu tako umorni da nisu mogli prijeći preko potoka Besora.

And David, with four hundred men, went on: but two hundred of them were overcome with weariness, and not able to go across the stream.

11 U polju naiđoše na nekog Egipćanina. Dovedoše ga k Davidu, dadoše mu kruha da jede i vode da pije.

And in the fields they saw an Egyptian whom they took to David, and they gave him bread, and he had a meal, and they gave him water for drink;

12 Dadoše mu grudu smokava i dva grozda suhoga grožđa. Kad je to pojeo, vratio mu se život, jer tri dana i tri noći ne bijaše ništa jeo i ništa pio.

And they gave him part of a cake of figs and some dry grapes; and after the food, his spirit came back to him, for he had had no food or drink for three days and nights.

13 Tada ga David upita: “Čiji si ti i odakle si?” A on odgovori: “Ja sam Egipćanin, sluga jednog Amalečanina. Moj me gospodar ostavio jer sam se razbolio prije tri dana.

And David said to him, Whose man are you and where do you come from? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master went on without me because three days back I became ill.

14 Bili smo provalili u Negeb Keretski i Negeb Judejski, i u Negeb Kalebov, a Siklag smo zapalili ognjem.”

We made an attack on the south part of the country of the Cherethites, and on the land which is Judah's, and on the south of Caleb; and we put Ziklag on fire.

15 David ga upita: “Hoćeš li me odvesti k toj razbojničkoj družbi?” A on odgovori: “Zakuni mi se Bogom da me nećeš pogubiti i da me nećeš predati u ruke mome gospodaru, pa ću te odvesti k njima!”

And David said to him, Will you take me down to this band? And he said, If you give me your oath that you will not put me to death or give me up to my master, I will take you to them.

16 On ga, dakle, odvede, i gle, oni se bijahu razasuli po svem onom kraju, jedući, pijući i slaveći slavlje zbog svega velikog plijena što su ga oteli iz zemlje filistejske i iz zemlje Judine.

And when he had taken him down, they saw them all, seated about on all sides, feasting and drinking among all the mass of goods which they had taken from the land of the Philistines and the land of Judah.

17 I David ih poče biti i tukao ih je od zore do mraka, izvršujući na njima “herem”, kleto uništenje. Nitko od njih nije izmakao, osim četiri stotine momaka, koji zajahaše na deve i pobjegoše.

And David went on fighting them from evening till the evening of the day after; and not one of them got away but only four hundred young men who went in flight on camels.

18 Tako je David izbavio sve što su bili oteli Amalečani; i obje svoje žene izbavi David.

And David got back everything the Amalekites had taken; and he got back his two wives.

19 I ništa im nije nestalo, od najmanjih stvari do najvećih, od plijena sve do sinova i kćeri, sve što im bijaše oteto: sve je vratio David.

There was no loss of anything, small or great, sons or daughters or goods or anything which they had taken away: David got it all back.

20 Tada uzeše sve ovce i goveda, dotjeraše ih pred njega vičući: “Ovo je plijen Davidov!”

And they took all the flocks and herds, and driving them in front of him, said, These are David's.

21 Kad je David došao k onim dvjema stotinama ljudi koji bijahu sustali te ne mogahu ići za Davidom i koje on bijaše ostavio kod potoka Besora, iziđoše oni u susret Davidu i četi njegovoj: približivši se Davidu i četi, pozdraviše ih.

And David came to the two hundred men, who because of weariness had not gone with him, but were waiting at the stream Besor: and they went out, meeting David and the people who were with him; and when they came near them, they said, How are you?

22 Tada progovoriše svi zlobnici i ništarije između ljudi koji su išli s Davidom i rekoše: “Budući da nisu išli s nama, ne dajmo im ništa od plijena koji smo izbavili, nego samo svakome njegovu ženu i njegovu djecu, neka ih povedu sa sobom i neka idu!”

Then the bad and good-for-nothing men among those who went with David said, Because they did not go with us, we will give them nothing of the goods which we have got back, but only to every man his wife and children, so that he may take them and go.

23 Ali David reče: “Ne činite tako, braćo moja, poslije onoga što nam je dao Jahve: on nas je čuvao i predao nam u ruke razbojničku družbu koja bijaše izišla protiv nas.

Then David said, You are not to do this, my brothers, after what the Lord has given us, who has kept us safe and given up the band which came against us into our hands.

24 Ta tko će vas poslušati u tome? Jer kakav je dio onome koji ide u boj, takav je dio onome koji ostaje kod tovara. Jednak dio neka imaju svi.”

Who is going to give any attention to you in this question? for an equal part will be given to him who went to the fight and to him who was waiting by the goods: they are all to have the same.

25 Tako ostade od onoga dana unapredak. David to učini uredbom i zakonom u Izraelu sve do današnjeg dana.

And so he made it a rule and an order for Israel from that day till now.

26 Kad je David došao u Siklag, posla dio plijena starješinama Jude, po pojedinim njihovim gradovima, s porukom: “Evo za vas dar od plijena Jahvinih neprijatelja!”

And when David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the goods to the responsible men of Judah, and to his friends, saying, Here is an offering for you from the goods of those who were fighting against the Lord;

27 Onima u Betulu, onima u Rami u Negebu i onima u Jatiru;

He sent to those who were in Beth-el, and in Ramah of the South, and in Jattir;

28 onima u Aroeru, onima u Sifmotu i onima u Eštemoi;

And to those in Arara and Eshtemoa

29 onima u Karmelu, onima u jerahmeelskim gradovima i onima u kenijskim gradovima;

and Carmel and in the towns of the Jerahmeelites, and in the towns of the Kenites;

30 onima u Hormi, onima u Bor Ašanu i onima u Eteru;

And to those who were in Hormah and in Bor-ashan and in Athach;

31 onima u Hebronu i u svim onima mjestima u koja je dolazio David sa svojim ljudima.

And in Hebron, and to all the places where David and his men had been living.
