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.
And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the South, and upon Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned 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 captive the women and all that were therein, both small and great; they slew not any, but carried them off, and went 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.
And when David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and 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.
Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5 I obje Davidove žene bijahu odvedene u ropstvo - Ahinoama Jizreelka i Abigajila, Nabalova žena iz Karmela.
And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
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 distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David strengthened himself 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: 'I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod.' And Abiathar brought thither 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 inquired of the LORD, saying: 'Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them?' And He answered him: 'Pursue; for thou shalt surely overtake them, and shalt without fail recover all.'
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 came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
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 behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook 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 gave him bread, and he did eat; and they gave him 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.
and they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins; and when he had eaten, his spirit came back to him; for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any 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 unto him: 'To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou?' And he said: 'I am a young Egyptian, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
14 Bili smo provalili u Negeb Keretski i Negeb Judejski, i u Negeb Kalebov, a Siklag smo zapalili ognjem.”
We made a raid upon the South of the Cherethites, and upon that which belongeth to Judah, and upon the South of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag 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: 'Wilt thou bring me down to this troop?' And he said: 'Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this troop.'
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 down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the ground, eating and drinking, and feasting, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of 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 smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day; and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels and fled.
18 Tako je David izbavio sve što su bili oteli Amalečani; i obje svoje žene izbavi David.
And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David 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 lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them; David brought back all.
20 Tada uzeše sve ovce i goveda, dotjeraše ih pred njega vičući: “Ovo je plijen Davidov!”
And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other cattle, and said: 'This is David's spoil.'
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 were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to abide at the brook Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him; and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
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 answered all the wicked men and base fellows, of those that went with David, and said: 'Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.'
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 said David: 'Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given unto us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
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 who will hearken unto you in this matter? for as is the share of him that goeth down to the battle, so shall be the share of him that tarrieth by the baggage; they shall share alike.'
25 Tako ostade od onoga dana unapredak. David to učini uredbom i zakonom u Izraelu sve do današnjeg dana.
And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.
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 of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying: 'Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD';
27 Onima u Betulu, onima u Rami u Negebu i onima u Jatiru;
to them that were in Beth-el, and to them that were in Ramoth of the South, and to them that were in Jattir;
28 onima u Aroeru, onima u Sifmotu i onima u Eštemoi;
and to them that were in Aroer, and to them that were in Siphmoth, and to them that were in Eshtemoa;
29 onima u Karmelu, onima u jerahmeelskim gradovima i onima u kenijskim gradovima;
and to them that were in Racal, and to them that were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them that were in the cities of the Kenites;
30 onima u Hormi, onima u Bor Ašanu i onima u Eteru;
and to them that were in Hormah, and to them that were in Bor-ashan, and to them that were in Athach;
31 onima u Hebronu i u svim onima mjestima u koja je dolazio David sa svojim ljudima.
and to them that were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
