1 Samuelova 25

1 Mezi tím umřel Samuel. A shromáždil se všecken Izrael, i plakali ho, a pochovali jej v domě jeho v Ráma. Ale David vstav, šel na poušť Fáran.

Then Samuel died, and all of Israel gathered together, and they mourned him. And they buried him at his house in Ramah. And David, rising up, descended to the desert of Paran.

2 Člověk pak nějaký byl v Maon, kterýž statek svůj měl na Karmeli. A byl člověk ten možný velmi, nebo měl tři tisíce ovec a tisíc koz, a tehdáž rovně střihl ovce své na Karmeli.

Now there was a certain man in the wilderness of Maon, and his possessions were at Carmel. And this man was exceedingly great. And three thousand sheep, and one thousand goats were his. And it happened that he was shearing his sheep at Carmel.

3 Muže pak toho jméno Nábal, a jméno ženy jeho Abigail. A byla žena ta opatrná a krásné tváři, ale muž její byl tvrdý a zlých povah, a byl z rodu Kálefova.

Now the name of this man was Nabal. And the name of his wife was Abigail. And she was a very prudent and beautiful woman. But her husband was hard-hearted, and very wicked, and malicious. And he was of the stock of Caleb.

4 Protož uslyšav David na poušti, že by Nábal střihl ovce své,

Therefore, when David, in the desert, had heard that Nabal was shearing his sheep,

5 Poslal deset služebníků, a řekl David těm služebníkům: Vstupte na Karmel, a jděte k Nábalovi, a pozdravte ho slovem mým přátelsky.

he sent ten young men, and he said to them: “Ascend to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name peacefully.

6 A rcete jemu takto: Zdráv buď, a pokoj tobě, pokoj domu tvému, i všemu, což máš, pokoj.

And you shall say: ‘Peace be to my brothers and to you, and peace to your house, and peace to whatever you have.

7 Slyšel jsem, že máš střižce, a pastýři tvoji bývali s námi; neučinili jsme jim žádné křivdy, aniž jim co zhynulo po všecky dny, v nichž byli na Karmeli.

I have heard that your shepherds, who were with us in the desert, were shearing. We have never troubled them, nor was anything from the flock missing to them at any time, during the entire time that they have been with us in Carmel.

8 Ptej se služebníků svých, a povědí tobě. Nyní tedy nechť naleznou mládenci milost před očima tvýma, nebo v den veselý přišli jsme; dej, prosím, což máš před rukama, služebníkům svým a synu svému Davidovi.

Question your servants, and they will tell you. Now therefore, may your servants find favor in your eyes. For we have arrived on a good day. Whatever your hand will find, give it to your servants and to your son David.’”

9 Přišedše tedy mládenci ti Davidovi, mluvili Nábalovi podlé všech slov těchto jménem Davidovým, a umlkli.

And when the servants of David had arrived, they spoke to Nabal all these words in the name of David. And then they were silent.

10 Odpověděl pak Nábal služebníkům Davidovým a řekl: Kdo jest David? A kdo syn Izai? Mnohotě nyní služebníků, kteříž se odtrhují jeden každý od pána svého.

But Nabal, responding to the servants of David, said: “Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? Today, servants who are fleeing from their lords are increasing.

11 Ano, vezmu já chléb svůj, a vodu svou a pokrmy své, kteréž jsem připravil střižcům svým, a dám je těm lidem, kterýchž neznám, ani vím, odkud jsou?

Therefore, shall I take my bread, and my water, and the meat of the cattle that I have slain for my shearers, and give it to men, when I do not know where they are from?”

12 A obrátivše se služebníci Davidovi na cestu svou, navrátili se, a přišedše, oznámili jemu všecka slova ta.

And so the servants of David traveled back along their way. And returning, they went and reported to him all the words that he had said.

13 I řekl David mužům svým: Připaš každý meč svůj. Kteříž když připásali jeden každý meč svůj, připásal také David meč svůj, a šlo za Davidem okolo čtyř set mužů, dvě stě pak pozůstalo u břemen.

Then David said to his servants, “Let each one gird his sword.” And each one girded his sword. And David also girded his sword. And about four hundred men followed David. But two hundred remained behind with the supplies.

14 A v tom Abigail, ženě Nábalově, oznámil mládenec jeden z služebníků, řka: Aj, poslal David posly s pouště, aby pozdravili pána našeho, ale on je ukřikal;

Then it was reported to Abigail, the wife of Nabal, by one of his servants, saying: “Behold, David has sent messengers from the desert, so that they might speak kindly to our lord. But he turned them away.

15 Ješto muži ti prospěšní nám byli velice, ani nám neučinili křivdy, aniž nám co zhynulo, když jsme bývali s nimi na poli.

These men were good enough to us, and were not troublesome. Neither did we ever lose anything, during the entire time that we conversed with them in the desert.

16 Místo zdi byli nám v noci i ve dne po všecky dny, dokudž jsme s nimi byli, pasouce stáda.

They were a wall to us, as much in the night as in the day, during all the days that we were with them, pasturing the sheep.

17 Protož nyní pomysl a viz, co bys měla činiti, neboť již zlé věci hotové jsou na pána našeho i na všecken dům jeho; on pak jest tak zlobivý, že s ním nelze ani mluviti.

For this reason, consider and realize what you should do. For evil has been decided against your husband and against your house. And he is a son of Belial, so that no one is able to speak to him.”

18 Tedy pospíšila Abigail, a vzala dvě stě chlebů, a dvě kožené láhvice vína, a pět ovcí připravených, a pět měr pražmy, a sto sušených hroznů, a dvě stě hrud fíků sušených, a vložila to na osly.

And so Abigail hurried, and she took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five cooked sheep, and five measures of cooked grain, and one hundred clusters of dried grapes, and two hundred masses of dried figs, and she set them upon donkeys.

19 I řekla služebníkům svým: Jdětež napřed, a já za vámi půjdu. Ale muži svému Nábalovi neoznámila.

And she said to her servants: “Go before me. Behold, I will follow after your back.” But she did not reveal it to her husband, Nabal.

20 I stalo se, že vsedši na osla, sjížděla po stráni s hory, a aj, David a muži jeho sstupovali proti ní, a potkala se s nimi.

And when she had climbed on a donkey, and was descending to the base of the mountain, David and his men were descending to meet her. And she met them.

21 (David pak byl řekl: Jistě nadarmo jsem ostříhal všeho, což on měl na poušti, tak že nic nezahynulo ze všeho, což má; nebo mi se odplatil zlým za dobré.

And David said: “Truly, in vain have I preserved all that was his in the wilderness, so that nothing perished out of all that belonged to him. And he has repaid evil to me for good.

22 Toto učiň Bůh nepřátelům Davidovým a toto přidej, jestliže zanechám do jitra ze všeho, což má, až do toho, kterýž močí na stěnu.)

May God do these things, by the enemies of David, and may he add these other things, if I leave behind until morning, out of all that belongs to him, anything that urinates against a wall.”

23 Tedy uzřevši Abigail Davida, rychle ssedla s osla, a padla před Davidem na tvář svou, a poklonila se až k zemi.

Then, when Abigail had seen David, she hurried and descended from the donkey. And she fell upon her face before David, and she reverenced on the ground.

24 A padši k nohám jeho, řekla: Na mně, pane můj, ta nepravost. Protož nechť mluví, prosím, služebnice tvá v uši tvé, a vyslyš slova děvky své.

And she fell at his feet, and she said: “May this iniquity be upon me, my lord. I beg you, let your handmaid speak to your ears, and listen to the words of your servant.

25 Nechť se neobrací, prosím, pán můj myslí svou za mužem tím bezbožným Nábalem; nebo jakéž jest jméno jeho, takovýž jest. Nábal jméno jeho jest, a bláznovství jest při něm. Já pak služebnice tvá neviděla jsem služebníků pána mého, kteréž jsi byl poslal.

Let not my lord, the king, I beseech you, set his heart upon this iniquitous man, Nabal. For in accord with his name, he is senseless, and foolishness is with him. But I, your handmaid, did not see your servants, my lord, whom you had sent.

26 Protož nyní, pane můj, živť jest Hospodin, a živať jest duše tvá, že tě tobě zbránil Hospodin vylíti krve, a abys nemstil sám sebe. A protož nyní buďtež jako Nábal nepřátelé tvoji, a ti, kteříž hledají zlého pánu mému.

Now therefore, my lord, as your soul lives, and as the Lord lives, who has kept your hand to yourself, and has prevented you from coming to blood: now, let your enemies be like Nabal, and like all those who are seeking evil for my lord.

27 Teď pak dar tento, kterýž přinesla děvka tvá pánu svému, nechť jest dán služebníkům, kteříž chodí za pánem mým.

Because of this, accept this blessing, which your handmaid has brought to you, my lord. And give it to the young men who follow you, my lord.

28 Odpusť, prosím, provinění děvce své, neboť jistě vzdělá Hospodin pánu mému dům stálý, poněvadž boje Hospodinovy pán můj vede, a nic zlého se nenalézá při tobě až posavad.

Forgive the iniquity of your handmaid. For the Lord will surely make for you, my lord, a faithful house, because you, my lord, fight the battles of the Lord. Therefore, let no evil be found in you all the days of your life.

29 A byť i povstal člověk, aby tě stihal a hledal bezhrdlí tvého, budeť však duše pána mého svázána v svazku živých u Hospodina Boha tvého, duši pak nepřátel tvých jako z praku pryč zahodí.

For if a man, at any time, will rise up, pursuing you and seeking your life, the life of my lord will be preserved, as if in the sheave of the living, with the Lord your God. But the lives of your enemies will be spun around, as if with the force of a whirling sling.

30 A když učiní Hospodin pánu mému dobře podlé toho všeho, jakž zaslíbil tobě, a přikážeť, abys byl vůdcím nad Izraelem:

Therefore, when the Lord will have done for you, my lord, all the good that he has spoken about you, and when he will have appointed you as leader over Israel,

31 Tedy nebude to k zviklání ani k urážce srdce pánu mému, jako když by vylil krev bez příčiny, aneb když by se mstil pán můj. Když tedy učiní dobře Hospodin pánu mému, rozpomeň se na děvku svou.

this will not be for you a regret or a scruple of the heart, my lord, that you had shed innocent blood, or had taken revenge for yourself. And when the Lord will have done well for my lord, you shall remember your handmaid.”

32 I řekl David k Abigail: Požehnaný Hospodin Bůh Izraelský, že tě poslal dne tohoto mně v cestu;

And David said to Abigail: “Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me. And blessed is your eloquence.

33 A požehnaná řeč tvá, i ty požehnaná, že jsi zdržela mne dnes, abych nevylil krve a nemstil sám sebe.

And blessed are you, who prevented me today from going to blood, and from taking revenge for myself with my own hand.

34 A jistě, jako živ jest Hospodin Bůh Izraelský, kterýž mi zbránil, ať bych zle nečinil, že kdybys nebyla pospíšila a nevyšla mi v cestu, nebyl by zůstal Nábalovi do jitra ani močící na stěnu.

But instead, as the Lord God of Israel lives, he has prevented me from doing evil to you. But if you had not come quickly to meet me, there would not have been left to Nabal by the morning light, anything that urinates against a wall.”

35 I přijal David z ruky její, což byla přinesla jemu, a řekl jí: Jdiž v pokoji do domu svého. Pohleď, uslyšel jsem prosbu tvou, a vážil jsem sobě osoby tvé.

Then David received from her hand all that she had brought to him. And he said to her: “Go in peace to your own house. Behold, I have heeded your voice, and I have honored your face.”

36 A tak navrátila se Abigail k Nábalovi, an měl hody v domě svém jako hody královské; a srdce Nábalovo rozveselilo se bylo v něm, a byl opilý velmi. Pročež ona neoznámila jemu nejmenšího slova až do jitra.

Then Abigail went to Nabal. And behold, he was holding a feast for himself in his house, like the feast of a king. And the heart of Nabal was cheerful. For he was greatly inebriated. And she did not reveal a word to him, small or great, until morning.

37 Nazejtří pak, když z vína vystřízlivěl Nábal, tedy oznámila jemu žena jeho ty věci. I zmrtvělo v něm srdce jeho, a učiněn jest jako kámen.

Then, at first light, when Nabal had digested his wine, his wife revealed to him these words, and his heart died within himself, and he became like a stone.

38 A když pominulo takměř deset dní, porazil Hospodin Nábale, i umřel.

And after ten days had passed, the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.

39 Uslyšev pak David, že by Nábal umřel, řekl: Požehnaný Hospodin, kterýž hodně pomstil pohanění mého nad Nábalem, a služebníka svého zdržel ode zlého, zlost pak Nábalovu shrnul Hospodin na hlavu jeho. Tedy poslal David a mluvil k Abigail, aby ji sobě vzal za manželku.

And when David had heard that Nabal was dead, he said: “Blessed is the Lord, who has judged the case of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and who has preserved his servant from evil. And the Lord has repaid the malice of Nabal upon his own head.” Then David sent and he spoke with Abigail, so that he might take her to himself as wife.

40 I přišli služebníci Davidovi k Abigail na Karmel, a mluvili s ní, řkouce: David poslal nás k tobě, aby tě vzal sobě za manželku.

And David’s servants went to Abigail at Carmel, and they spoke to her, saying, “David has sent us to you, so that he might take you to himself as wife.”

41 Kterážto vstavši, poklonila se na tvář až k zemi, řkuci: Aj, služebnice tvá za děvku bude, aby umývala nohy služebníkům pána svého.

And rising up, she reverenced prone on the ground, and she said, “Behold, let your servant be a handmaid, to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”

42 Protož rychle vstavši Abigail a vsedši na osla svého, (pět pak děveček jejích šlo za ní, ) jela za posly Davidovými, a byla manželkou jeho.

And Abigail rose up and hurried, and she climbed upon a donkey, and five girls went with her, her attendants. And she followed the messengers of David, and she became his wife.

43 Též i Achinoam pojal David z Jezreel, a byly i tyto dvě manželky jeho.

Moreover, David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel. And both of them were his wives.

44 Nebo Saul Míkol dceru svou, manželku Davidovu, dal byl Faltiovi, synu Lais, kterýž byl z Gallim.

Then Saul gave his daughter Michal, the wife of David, to Palti, the son of Laish, who was from Gallim.
