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 came about, when David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the Negev and on Ziklag. They attacked Ziklag, burned it,
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 captured the women and everyone who was in it, both small and great. They killed no one, but carried them off as they 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.
When David and his men came to the city, it was burned, and their wives, 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 that were with him raised their voices 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 woman, 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 were talking about stoning him, for all the people were bitter in spirit, each man for his sons and daughters; but David strengthened himself in Yahweh, his God.
7 David reče svećeniku Ebjataru, Ahimelekovu sinu: “Donesi mi ovamo oplećak!” I Ebjatar donese Davidu oplećak.
David said to Abiathar son of Ahimelech, the priest, “I beg you, bring the ephod here for me.” 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 prayed to Yahweh for direction, saying, “If I pursue after this troop, will I overtake them?” Yahweh answered him, “Pursue, for you will certainly overtake them, and you will surely recover everything.”
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; they came to the brook 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 kept pursuing, he and four hundred men; for two hundred had stayed behind, who were so weak 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.
They found an Egyptian in a field and brought him to David; they gave him bread, and he ate; 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. When he had eaten, he gained strength again, for he had eaten no bread nor drunk any water for 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 said to him, “To whom do you belong? Where do you come from?” He said, “I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; 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 what belongs to Judah, and the Negev of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag.”
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 raiding party?” The Egyptian said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me or betray me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this raiding party.”
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 the Egyptian had brought David down, the raiders were spread out over all the ground, eating and drinking and dancing because of all the booty they had taken out of the land of the Philistines and from 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 attacked them from the twilight to the evening of the next day. Not a man escaped except for 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.
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.
Nothing was missing, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither booty, nor anything that the raiders had taken for themselves. David brought back everything.
20 Tada uzeše sve ovce i goveda, dotjeraše ih pred njega vičući: “Ovo je plijen Davidov!”
David took all the flocks and the herds, which the men drove ahead of the other cattle. They said, “This is David's booty.”
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 had been too weak to follow him, the ones the others had made to stay at the brook Besor. These men went ahead to meet David and the people who were with him. When David came to these 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 all the wicked men and worthless fellows among those who had gone with David said, “Because these men did not go with us, we will not give them any of the booty that we have recovered. Except that each man may take his wife and children, lead them away, 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 must not act like this, my brothers, with what Yahweh has given to us. He has preserved us and given into our hand the raiders who 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.”
Who will listen to you in this matter? For as the share is for anyone who goes into battle, so also will the share be for anyone who waits by the baggage; they will share and share alike.”
25 Tako ostade od onoga dana unapredak. David to učini uredbom i zakonom u Izraelu sve do današnjeg dana.
It has been so from that day to this day, for David made it a statute and a decree for 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!”
When David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the booty to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, “See, here is a present for you from the booty from Yahweh's enemies.”
27 Onima u Betulu, onima u Rami u Negebu i onima u Jatiru;
He also sent some to the elders who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramoth of the South, 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;
He also sent some to the elders who were in Rakal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
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 Athak,
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 habitually went.
