< 1 Samuelova 13 >

1 Saul tedy prvního léta kralování svého, (kraloval pak dvě létě nad Izraelem, )
When he began to reign, Saul was the son of one year, and he reigned over Israel for two years.
2 Vybral sobě tři tisíce z Izraele. I bylo jich s Saulem dva tisíce v Michmas a na hoře Bethel, a tisíc bylo s Jonatou v Gabaa Beniaminově; ostatek pak lidu rozpustil jednoho každého do příbytku jeho.
And Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel. And two thousand were with Saul at Michmash and at mount Bethel. Then one thousand were with Jonathan at Gibeah of Benjamin. But the remainder of the people, he sent back, each one to his own tent.
3 I pobil Jonata stráž Filistinských, kterouž měli na pahrbku, a uslyšeli to Filistinští. Tedy Saul troubil v troubu po vší zemi, řka: Ať to slyší Hebrejští.
And Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines, which was in Gibeah. And when the Philistines had heard about it, Saul sounded the trumpet over all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews listen.”
4 A tak slyšel všecken Izrael, že bylo praveno: Pobil Saul stráž Filistinských, pročež také zoškliven byl Izrael mezi Filistinskými. I svolán jest lid za Saulem do Galgala.
And all of Israel heard this report, that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines. And Israel raised himself up against the Philistines. Then the people cried out to Saul at Gilgal.
5 Filistinští pak sebrali se k boji proti Izraelovi, třidceti tisíc vozů, a šest tisíc jezdců, a lidu ve množství, jako jest písku na břehu mořském. I vytáhli a položili se v Michmas na východ Betaven.
And the Philistines gathered to do battle against Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and the remainder of the common people, who were very many, like the sand that is on the shore of the sea. And ascending, they encamped at Michmash, toward the east of Bethaven.
6 A protož muži Izraelští vidouce, že jim úzko, (nebo byl ssoužen lid, ) skryl se lid v jeskyních a v ohradách, a v skalách a v horách, i v jamách.
And when the men of Israel had seen themselves to be in a narrowed position, they hid themselves in caves, and in out of the way places, and in rocks, and in hollows, and in pits (for the people were distressed).
7 Hebrejští také přepravili se přes Jordán do země Gád a Galád. Saul pak ještě byl v Galgala, a všecken lid zastrašil se, jda za ním.
Then some of the Hebrews crossed over the Jordan, into the land of Gad and Gilead. And while Saul was still at Gilgal, the entire people who followed him were terrified.
8 I očekával tu za sedm dní vedlé času uloženého od Samuele; a když nepřicházel Samuel do Galgala, rozešel se lid od něho.
But he waited for seven days, in accord with what was agreed with Samuel. But Samuel did not arrive at Gilgal, for the people were scattering away from him.
9 Tedy řekl Saul: Přineste ke mně obět zápalnou a oběti pokojné. I obětoval oběti zápalné.
Therefore, Saul said, “Bring me the holocaust and the peace offerings.” And he offered the holocaust.
10 Když pak již dokonal obětování oběti zápalné, aj, Samuel přicházel, a Saul vyšel proti němu, aby ho přivítal.
And when he had completed the offering of the holocaust, behold, Samuel arrived. And Saul went out to meet him, so that he might greet him.
11 I řekl Samuel: Co jsi učinil? Odpověděl Saul: Když jsem viděl, že se lid rozchází ode mne, a ty nepřicházíš k uloženému dni, a Filistinští byli shromážděni v Michmas:
And Samuel said to him, “What have you done?” Saul responded: “Since I saw that the people were scattering away from me, and you had not arrived after the agreed upon days, and yet the Philistines had gathered together at Michmash,
12 I řekl jsem: Nyní připadnou Filistinští na mne v Galgala, a tváři Hospodinově nemodlil jsem se. Takž jsem se opovážil a obětoval jsem oběti zápalné.
I said: ‘Now the Philistines will descend to me at Gilgal. And I have not appeased the face of the Lord.’ Compelled by necessity, I offered the holocaust.
13 Tedy řekl Samuel Saulovi: Bláznivě jsi učinil, nezachovals přikázaní Hospodina Boha svého, kteréž přikázal tobě; nebo nyní byl by utvrdil Hospodin království tvé nad Izraelem až na věky.
And Samuel said to Saul: “You have acted foolishly. You have not kept the commandments of the Lord your God, which he instructed to you. And if you had not acted in this way, the Lord would, here and now, have prepared your kingdom over Israel forever.
14 Ale již nyní království tvé neostojí. Vyhledalť jest Hospodin sobě muže vedlé srdce svého, jemuž rozkázal Hospodin, aby byl vůdce nad lidem jeho; nebo jsi nezachoval, cožť přikázal Hospodin.
But by no means shall your kingdom rise up any more. The Lord has sought for himself a man according to his own heart. And him the Lord has instructed to be the leader over his people, because you have not kept what the Lord has instructed.”
15 Vstav pak Samuel, vstoupil z Galgala do Gabaa Beniaminova. A Saul načetl lidu, kterýž zůstával při něm, okolo šesti set mužů.
Then Samuel rose up and ascended from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And the remainder of the people ascended after Saul, to meet the people who were fighting against them, going from Gilgal into Gibeah, to the hill of Benjamin. And Saul took a census of the people, who had been found to be with him, about six hundred men.
16 Saul tedy a Jonata syn jeho, i lid, kterýž zůstával s nimi, byli v Gabaa Beniaminově, Filistinští pak leželi v Michmas.
And Saul, and his son Jonathan, and the people who had been found to be with them, were at Gibeah of Benjamin. But the Philistines had settled in at Michmash.
17 I vyšli zhoubcové z vojska Filistinského na tré rozdělení. Houf jeden obrátil se k cestě Ofra, k zemi Sual;
And three companies went out from the camp of the Philistines, in order to plunder. One company was traveling toward the way of Ophrah, to the land of Shual.
18 A houf druhý obrátil se na cestu Betoron; houf pak třetí pustil se cestou krajiny, kteráž patří k údolí Seboim na poušť.
Then another entered along the way of Beth-horon. But the third turned itself to the way of the border, overhanging the valley of Zeboim, opposite the desert.
19 Kováře pak žádného nenalézalo se ve vší zemi Izraelské; nebo byli řekli Filistinští: Aby sobě Hebrejští nenadělali mečů a kopí.
Now there was no worker of iron to be found in all the land of Israel. For the Philistines had been cautious, lest perhaps the Hebrews might make swords or spears.
20 Protož chodívali všickni Izraelští k Filistinským, aby ostřil sobě jeden každý radlici svou, a motyku svou, sekeru svou i vidly své,
Therefore, all of Israel descended to the Philistines, so that each man could sharpen his plowshare, or pick axe, or hatchet, or hoe.
21 Sic jinak byly štěrbiny na radlicích, motykách, vidlách třírohých a sekerách; také i o zaostření ostnu bývalo těžko.
For their plow blades, and pick axes, and pitch forks, and axes had become blunt, and even the handles needed to be repaired.
22 I bylo, že v čas boje nenalézalo se meče ani kopí u žádného z lidu toho, kterýž byl s Saulem a s Jonatou, toliko u Saule a u Jonaty syna jeho.
And when the day of battle had arrived, there was found neither sword nor spear in the hand of the entire people who were with Saul and Jonathan, except for Saul and his son Jonathan.
23 Vyšla pak stráž Filistinských k cestám Michmas.
Then the army of the Philistines went out in order to go across Michmash.
