2 Samuelova 1
1 Poslije Šaulove smrti David se vratio kući pobijedivši Amalečane. Dva je dana proveo u Siklagu.
After the death of Saul, David returned from attacking the Amalekites and remained in Ziklag for two days.
2 Trećega dana dođe neki čovjek iz Šaulova tabora, razdrtih haljina i prahom posute glave. Došavši k Davidu, baci se na zemlju i pokloni mu se.
On the third day, a man came from Saul's camp with his clothes torn and with dirt on his head. When he came to David he lay facedown on the ground and prostrated himself.
3 David ga upita: “Odakle dolaziš?” A on mu odgovori: “Umakao sam iz izraelskog tabora.”
David said to him, “Where did you come from?” He answered, “I escaped from the camp of Israel.”
4 A David ga upita: “Što se dogodilo? Pripovijedaj mi!” On odvrati: “Narod je pobjegao iz boja, a mnogo je ljudi i poginulo. Mrtvi su i Šaul i njegov sin Jonatan.”
David said to him, “Please tell me how things went.” He answered, “The people fled from the battle. Many have fallen and many are dead. Saul and Jonathan his son are also dead.”
5 Nato David upita mladoga glasonošu: “Kako znaš da je poginuo Šaul i njegov sin Jonatan?”
David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”
6 A mladi glasonoša odgovori: “Slučajno sam došao na goru Gilbou i vidio Šaula kako se upro u svoje koplje, a bojna kola i konjanici natisnuli se za njim.
The young man replied, “By chance I happened to be on Mount Gilboa, and there Saul was leaning on his spear, and chariots and riders were about to catch up with him.
7 Šaul, obazrevši se, ugleda mene pa me zovnu, a ja mu se odazvah: 'Evo me!'
Saul turned around and saw me and called out to me. I answered, 'Here I am.'
8 I upita me on: 'Tko si ti?' A ja mu odgovorih: 'Amalečanin sam.'
He said to me, 'Who are you?' I answered him, 'I am an Amalekite.'
9 Tada mi on reče: 'Dođi ovamo k meni pa me ubij, jer me obuzeo smrtni grč, a duša je još sva u meni!'
He said to me, 'Please stand over me and kill me, for great suffering has taken hold of me, but life is still in me.'
10 Pristupih k njemu i zadadoh mu smrtni udarac, jer sam znao da neće preživjeti nakon pada. Zatim uzeh kraljevski znak koji mu bijaše na glavi i narukvicu koju imaše na ruci i, evo, donesoh to svome gospodaru.”
So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew that he would not live after he had fallen. Then I took the crown that was on his head and the band that was on his arm, and brought them here to you, my master.”
11 Tada David zgrabi svoje haljine i razdrije ih, a tako i svi ljudi koji bijahu s njim.
Then David tore his clothes, and all the men with him did the same.
12 I naricali su, plakali i postili do večera za Šaulom i za njegovim sinom Jonatanom, za Jahvinim narodom i za domom Izraelovim što izginuše od mača.
They mourned, wept, and fasted until evening for Saul, for Jonathan his son, for the people of Yahweh, and for the house of Israel because they had fallen by the sword.
13 Potom David upita mladoga glasonošu: “Odakle si ti?” A on odgovori: “Ja sam sin jednoga došljaka, Amalečanina.”
David said to the young man, “Where are you from?” He answered, “I am the son of a foreigner in the land, an Amalekite.”
14 Tada mu reče David: “Kako se nisi bojao dići ruku da ubiješ pomazanika Jahvina?”
David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to kill Yahweh's anointed king with your own hand?”
15 I dozva David jednoga od momaka i zapovjedi mu: “Dođi ovamo i smakni ga!” Udari ga momak i on umrije.
David called one of the young men and said, “Go and kill him.” So that man went and struck him down, and the Amalekite died.
16 A David mu još doviknu: “Tvoja krv na tvoju glavu! Tvoja su usta posvjedočila protiv tebe kad si rekao: 'Ja sam ubio pomazanika Jahvina.'”
Then David said to the dead Amalekite, “Your blood is on your head because your own mouth has testified against you and said, 'I have killed Yahweh's anointed king.'”
17 Tada David zapjeva ovu tužaljku za Šaulom i za njegovim sinom Jonatanom.
Then David sung this funeral song about Saul and Jonathan his son.
18 Zapisana je u Knjizi Pravednikovoj da je uče sinovi Judini. David reče:
He commanded the people to teach this Song of the Bow to the sons of Judah, which has been written in the Book of Jashar.
19 “Oh, kako ti slava pade, Izraele, izginuše div-junaci na tvom visu!
“Your glory, Israel, is dead, killed on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!
20 O porazu vi u Gatu ne pričajte, aškelonskim ulicama ne glasite, da se kćeri ne vesele filistejske, mlade žene da ne kliču nevjerničke.
Do not tell it in Gath, do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon, so that the daughters of the Philistines may not rejoice, so that the daughters of the uncircumcised may not celebrate.
21 O Gilbojske gore klete, rosa na vas ne padala nit vas kiša s neba prala! Vaša polja ne vraćala rod za sjeme, jer kod vas je osramoćen štit junaka! Štit Šaulov nije bio uljem mazan,
Mountains of Gilboa, let there not be dew or rain on you, nor fields giving grain for offerings, for there the shield of the mighty was defiled. The shield of Saul is no longer anointed with oil.
22 nego krvlju ranjenika, mašću palih! Luk Jonate nikad nije promašio, mač Šaulov nikad bezuspješan bio!
From the blood of those who have been killed, from the bodies of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not turn back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.
23 Šaul i Jonata, ljupki, ponositi, ni živi se ne rastaše, ni u smrti! Od orlova bjehu brži, od lavova snagom jači!
Saul and Jonathan were loved and gracious in life, and in their death they were not separated. They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
24 Za Šaulom sad plačite, Izraelke, jer je u kras i u grimiz vas odijevo! Uz to zlatan nakit on je na ruho vam pričvršćivo.
You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet as well as jewels, and who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.
25 Usred boja poginuše div-junaci! Smrt me tvoja, Jonatane, ožalosti!
How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is killed on your high places.
26 Žao mi je tebe, brate, Jonatane! Kako li mi drag bijaše ti veoma! Ljubav tvoja bješe meni još od ženske čudesnija.
I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You were very dear to me. Your love to me was wonderful, exceeding the love of women.
27 Oh, kako su izginuli div-junaci, i oružje bojno kako skršeno je!”
How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war perished!”
