< 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.
It happened, when David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, that Amalek had made a raid on the Negev, and on Ziklag, and had struck 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 who were in it, both small and great. They did not kill 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.
When David and his men came to the city, look, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive.
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 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.
David's two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelite 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.
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.
David said to Abiathar the cohen, the son of Ahimelech, "Please bring me here the ephod." 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.”
David inquired of the LORD, saying, "If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them?" He answered him, "Pursue; for you shall surely overtake them, and shall 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 who were with him, and came to the Wadi Besor, where those who 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 couldn't cross the Wadi Besor.
11 U polju naiđoše na nekog Egipćanina. Dovedoše ga k Davidu, dadoše mu kruha da jede i vode da pije.
They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; 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.
They gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, his spirit came again 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.
David asked him, "To whom do you belong? Where are you from?" He said, "I am a young man of Egypt, 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 on the Negev of the Kerethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the Negev 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!”
David said to him, "Will you bring me down to this troop?" He said, "Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop." And he 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.
When he had brought him down, look, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, drinking, and dancing, 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.
David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day and he put them to death. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men, who rode on camels and fled.
18 Tako je David izbavio sve što su bili oteli Amalečani; i obje svoje žene izbavi David.
He 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.
There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything 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!”
He took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, 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.
David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom he also had made to stay at the Wadi Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near to the people, he greeted 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 every wicked and worthless one of the men who had gone with David answered, and they said, "Because they did not go with us, we will not give them anything of the spoil that we have recovered, except to each man his wife and his children. And let them take them, 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 David said, "You shall not do so after what the LORD has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered into our hand the raiding party that came against us.
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.”
So who will listen to you in this matter? For they are not inferior to you. For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so will his share be who remains with the supplies; they will share alike."
25 Tako ostade od onoga dana unapredak. David to učini uredbom i zakonom u Izraelu sve do današnjeg dana.
It was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to 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!”
When David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah and to his friends, saying, "Look, 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;
He sent it to those who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramath Negev, and to those who were in Jattir,
28 onima u Aroeru, onima u Sifmotu i onima u Eštemoi;
and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa,
29 onima u Karmelu, onima u jerahmeelskim gradovima i onima u kenijskim gradovima;
and to those who were in Racal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenizzites.
30 onima u Hormi, onima u Bor Ašanu i onima u Eteru;
and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Bor Ashan, and to those who were in Athach,
31 onima u Hebronu i u svim onima mjestima u koja je dolazio David sa svojim ljudima.
and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
