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 were come to Siceleg on the third day, the Amalecites had made an invasion on the south side upon Siceleg, and had smitten Siceleg, and burnt it with 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 taken the women captives that were in it, both little and great: and they had not killed any person, but had carried them with them, and went on their way.
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.
So when David and his men came to the city, and found it burnt with fire, and that their wives and their sons, and their daughters were taken captives,
4 Tada David i ljudi koji bijahu s njim podigoše glas i plakahu dok im nije ponestalo snage za plač.
David and the people that were with him, lifted up their voices, and wept till they had no more tears.
5 I obje Davidove žene bijahu odvedene u ropstvo - Ahinoama Jizreelka i Abigajila, Nabalova žena iz Karmela.
For the two wives also of David were taken captives, Achinoam the Jezrahelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
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 afflicted: for the people had a mind to stone him, for the soul of every man was bitterly grieved for his sons, and daughters: but David took courage in the Lord his God.
7 David reče svećeniku Ebjataru, Ahimelekovu sinu: “Donesi mi ovamo oplećak!” I Ebjatar donese Davidu oplećak.
And he said to Abiathar the priest the son of Achimelech: Bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought 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.”
And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I pursue after these robbers, and shall I overtake them, or not? And the Lord said to him: Pursue after them: for thou shalt surely overtake them and recover the prey.
9 I pođe David sa šest stotina ljudi koji bijahu s njim i dođoše do potoka Besora.
So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and they came to the torrent Besor: and some being weary stayed there.
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.
But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred stayed, who being weary could not go over the torrent Besor.
11 U polju naiđoše na nekog Egipćanina. Dovedoše ga k Davidu, dadoše mu kruha da jede i vode da pije.
And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David: and they gave him bread to eat, and water to 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.
As also a piece of a cake of figs, and two bunches of raisins. And when he had eaten them his spirit returned, and he was refreshed: for he had not eaten bread, nor drunk water three days, and three 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: To whom dost thou belong? or whence dost thou come? and whither art thou going? He said: I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalecite, and my master left me, because I began to be sick three days ago.
14 Bili smo provalili u Negeb Keretski i Negeb Judejski, i u Negeb Kalebov, a Siklag smo zapalili ognjem.”
For we made an invasion on the south side of Cerethi, and upon Juda, and upon the south of Caleb, and we burnt Siceleg with 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: Canst thou bring me to this company? And he said: Swear to me by God, that thou wilt not kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee to this company. And David swore to him.
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 brought him, behold they were lying spread upon all the ground, eating and drinking, and as it were keeping a festival day, for all the prey, and the spoils which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Juda.
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 slew them from the evening unto the evening of the next day, and there escaped not a man of them, but four hundred young men, who had gotten upon camels, and fled.
18 Tako je David izbavio sve što su bili oteli Amalečani; i obje svoje žene izbavi David.
So David recovered all that the Amalecites had taken, and he rescued 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.
And there was nothing missing small or great, neither of their sons or their daughters, nor of the spoils, and whatsoever they had taken: David recovered all.
20 Tada uzeše sve ovce i goveda, dotjeraše ih pred njega vičući: “Ovo je plijen Davidov!”
And he took all the flocks and the herds, and made them go before him: and they said: This is the prey of David.
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 being weary had stayed, and were not able to follow David, and he had ordered them to abide at the torrent Besor: and they came out to meet David, and the people that were with him. And David coming to the people saluted them peaceably.
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 all the wicked and unjust men that had gone with David answering, said: Because they came not with us, we will not give them any thing of the prey which we have recovered: but let every man take his wife and his children, and be contented with them, and go his way.
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.
But David said: You shall not do so, my brethren, with these things, which the Lord hath given us, who hath kept us, and hath delivered the robbers that invaded 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.”
And no man shall hearken to you in this matter. But equal shall be the portion of him that went down to battle and of him that abode at the baggage, and they shall divide alike.
25 Tako ostade od onoga dana unapredak. David to učini uredbom i zakonom u Izraelu sve do današnjeg dana.
And this hath been done from that day forward, and since was made a statute, and an ordinance, and as a law in Israel.
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!”
Then David came to Siceleg, and sent presents of the prey to the ancients of Juda his neighbours, saying: Receive a blessing of the prey of the enemies of the Lord.
27 Onima u Betulu, onima u Rami u Negebu i onima u Jatiru;
To them that were in Bethel, and that were in Ramoth to the south, and to them that were in Jether,
28 onima u Aroeru, onima u Sifmotu i onima u Eštemoi;
And to them that were in Aroer and that were in Sephamoth, and that were in Esthamo,
29 onima u Karmelu, onima u jerahmeelskim gradovima i onima u kenijskim gradovima;
And that were in Rachal, and that were in the cities of Jerameel, and that were in the cities of Ceni,
30 onima u Hormi, onima u Bor Ašanu i onima u Eteru;
And that were in Arama, and that were in the lake Asan, and that were in Athach,
31 onima u Hebronu i u svim onima mjestima u koja je dolazio David sa svojim ljudima.
And that were in Hebron, and to the rest that were in those places, in which David had abode with his men.
