1 Samuelova 18
1 I stalo se, že když přestal mluviti k Saulovi, duše Jonatova spojila se s duší Davidovou, tak že ho zamiloval Jonata jako sebe samého.
After David finished talking with Saul, [he met Saul’s son, Jonathan.] Jonathan [immediately] liked David; in fact, he began to love/like him as much as he loved/liked himself.
2 A tak Saul vzal jej k sobě toho dne, a nedopustil mu navrátiti se do domu otce jeho.
From that day, Saul kept David with him, and did not let him return home.
3 I učinil Jonata s Davidem smlouvu, proto že ho miloval jako duši svou.
Because Jonathan loved David so much, he made a solemn agreement with David. [They promised each other that they would always be loyal friends].
4 A složiv Jonata s sebe plášť, kterýmž byl odín, dal jej Davidovi, i roucho své, až do meče svého, a až do lučiště svého, i do pasu svého.
Jonathan took off his own outer robe and gave it to David. He also gave David his soldier’s tunic, his sword, his bow [and arrows], and his belt.
5 Vycházel pak David, k čemuž ho koli posílal Saul, opatrně sobě počínaje. I ustanovil ho Saul nad vojáky, a líbil se všemu lidu, též i služebníkům Saulovým.
[David went wherever Saul sent him. And] whatever Saul told him to do, David did it very successfully. As a result, Saul appointed David to be a commander in the army. All the officers and other men in the army (approved of/were very pleased with) that.
6 Stalo se pak, když se oni domů brali, a David též se navracoval od zabití Filistinského, že vyšly ženy z každého města Izraelského, zpívajíce a plésajíce, vstříc Saulovi králi s bubny, s veselím a s husličkami.
But, when the men in the army were returning home after David had killed Goliath, the women came out from many [HYP] towns in Israel to meet/greet King Saul. They were singing and dancing very joyfully, playing tambourines and lyres.
7 A prozpěvovaly jedny po druhých ženy ty, hrajíce, a řekly: Porazilť jest Saul svůj tisíc, ale David svých deset tisíců.
As they danced, they sang this song to each other: “Saul has killed 1,000 [enemy soldiers], But David has killed 10,000 [of them].”
8 I rozhněval se Saul náramně, nebo nelíbila se mu ta řeč. Pročež řekl: Dali Davidovi deset tisíc, a mně dali toliko tisíc. Co mu ještě přes to přivlastní, leč království?
[When] Saul [heard them singing that, he] did not like it. He became very angry. He said [to himself], “They are saying that David [killed] 10,000 men, but that I [have killed] only 1,000. Soon they will want to make him their king!” [RHQ]
9 Protož Saul zlobivě hleděl na Davida od toho dne i vždycky.
From that time, Saul watched David very closely because he was suspicious [that David would try to become king].
10 Stalo se pak druhého dne, že duch Boží zlý napadl Saule, a prorokoval u prostřed domu svého, a David hral rukou svou jako i jindy vždycky. Saul pak měl kopí v ruce své.
The next day, an evil spirit sent by God suddenly took control of Saul. He began to act like a madman, inside his house. David was playing the lyre for him, as he did every day. Saul was holding a spear in his hand,
11 I vyhodil Saul kopí, řka: Prohodím Davida až do stěny. Ale David uhnul se jemu po dvakrát.
and he hurled it [at David], saying to himself, “I will fasten David to the wall with the spear!” He did that two times, but David jumped aside [both times].
12 A bál se Saul Davida, proto že Hospodin byl s ním, a od Saule odstoupil.
Because [it became evident that] Yahweh had abandoned Saul but [that] he was helping David, Saul was afraid of David.
13 Protož vybyl ho Saul od sebe, a učinil jej sobě hejtmanem nad tisíci; kterýžto vycházel i vcházel před lidem.
So he appointed David as a commander of 1,000 soldiers and sent David away from him, [hoping that David would be killed in a battle]. But when David led his soldiers [in their battles],
14 David pak ve všech cestách svých opatrně sobě počínal, nebo Hospodin byl s ním.
he always had great success, because Yahweh was helping him.
15 A když to viděl Saul, že sobě velmi opatrně počíná, bál se ho.
When Saul heard that David [and his soldiers were] very successful, he became more afraid of David.
16 Ale všecken Izrael i Juda miloval Davida, nebo vycházel i vcházel před nimi.
But all the people of Israel and of Judah loved David, because he led the soldiers very successfully [in the battles].
17 Tedy řekl Saul Davidovi: Aj, dceru svou starší Merob dámť za manželku, toliko mi buď muž silný, a veď boje Hospodinovy. (Saul pak myslil: Nechť neschází od mé ruky, ale od ruky Filistinských.)
One day Saul said to David, “I am ready to give you my oldest daughter, Merab, to be your wife. I will do that if you serve me bravely by fighting battles for Yahweh [against the Philistines]”. He said that because he thought, “I will not try to get rid of David by myself. I will allow the Philistines to do that.”
18 I řekl David Saulovi: Kdo jsem já, a jakýž jest rod můj a čeled otce mého v Izraeli, abych byl zetěm královým?
But David said to Saul, “I am not [RHQ] a very important person, and my family is not very important, and my clan is not a very important Israeli clan. So I do not deserve to become your son-in-law.” [RHQ]
19 I stalo se, že když již Merob dcera Saulova měla dána býti Davidovi, dána jest Adrielovi Molatitskému za manželku.
So, when it was time for Merab to be given to David to become his wife, instead, Saul gave her to a man named Adriel, from Meholah [town].
20 Milovala pak Míkol dcera Saulova Davida; což když oznámili Saulovi, líbilo se to jemu.
But Saul’s other daughter, Michal, fell in love with David. When they told Saul about that, he was pleased.
21 (Nebo řekl Saul: Dámť mu ji, aby mu byla osídlem, a aby proti němu byla ruka Filistinských.) A tak řekl Saul Davidovi: Po této druhé budeš mi již zetěm.
He thought, “I will let Michal marry him, in order that she may trap him, and the Philistines will be able to kill him.” So he said to David, [“You can marry Michal],” and by saying that, he indicated for the second time that David would become his son-in-law.
22 I rozkázal Saul služebníkům svým: Mluvte k Davidovi tajně, řkouce: Aj, libuje tě sobě král, a všickni služebníci jeho laskavi jsou na tebe; nyní tedy budiž zetěm královým.
Saul told his servants, “Talk to David privately, and say to him, ‘Listen, the king is pleased with you, and all of us his servants love you. So now [we think that] you should [marry Michal and] become the king’s son-in-law.’”
23 A když mluvili služebníci Saulovi v uši Davidovy slova ta, odpověděl David: Zdaliž se vám malá věc zdá, býti zetěm královým? A já jsem člověk chudý a opovržený.
So they told that to David. But David said, “It would be a great honor [RHQ] to become the king’s son-in-law. But [I do not think that I should do that, because] I am only a poor and insignificant man.”
24 Tedy služebníci Saulovi oznámili jemu, řkouce: Taková slova mluvil David.
When the servants told Saul what David had said,
25 I řekl Saul: Takto rcete Davidovi: Není žádostiv král věna, toliko sto obřízek Filistinských, aby byla pomsta nad nepřátely královskými. (Saul pak to obmýšlel, aby David upadl v ruku Filistinských.)
Saul replied, “Go and say to David, ‘[In order for] the king [to allow you to marry Michal, he] wants [you to kill] 100 Philistines [and cut off] their foreskins [and bring the foreskins to him to prove that you have killed them]. In that way he will get revenge on his enemies.’” But what Saul wanted was that the Philistines would kill David [while David was trying to kill them].
26 Protož oznámili služebníci jeho Davidovi slova ta, a líbilo se to Davidovi, aby byl zetěm královým. Ještě se pak nebyli vyplnili dnové ti,
When the servants told that to David, he was very pleased that he could become the king’s son-in-law [by doing that. The king had said how many days he would allow for David to do that]. But before that time ended,
27 Když vstav David, odšel, on i muži jeho, a zbil z Filistinských dvě stě mužů, jejichž obřízky přinesl David, a z úplna je dali králi, aby byl zetěm královým. I dal jemu Saul Míkol dceru svou za manželku.
David and his men went and killed, [not 100, but] 200 Philistines! He brought their foreskins to Saul, and counted them [while Saul was watching], in order to prove that he had [done what the king required so that he could become Saul’s son-in-law. So then Saul was obligated] to allow David to marry his daughter Michal.
28 A vida Saul, nýbrž zkušené maje, že jest Hospodin s Davidem, a že Míkol dcera jeho miluje ho,
But when Saul realized that Yahweh was helping David, and that his daughter loved David,
29 Ještě tím více Saul obával se Davida. I byl Saul nepřítelem Davidovým po všecky dny.
he became more afraid of David. So, as long as Saul lived, he was David’s enemy.
30 Vtrhovali pak do země knížata Filistinská; i bývalo, že kdyžkoli vycházeli, opatrněji sobě počínal David proti nim nade všecky služebníky Saulovy, pročež i jméno jeho bylo velmi slavné.
The Philistine armies repeatedly came to fight the Israelis, but every time they fought, David and his soldiers were more successful than any of Saul’s other army commanders. As a result, David became very famous.
