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.
[Soon after that], Samuel died, and all the Israeli people gathered and mourned for him. They buried his body outside his home in Ramah. Then David and his men moved to the Maon Desert.
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.
In Maon [town] there was a man who owned land in Carmel, [a nearby village]. He was very rich; he owned 3,000 sheep and 1,000 goats.
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.
His name was Nabal; he was a descendant of Caleb. His wife Abigail was a wise and beautiful woman, but Nabal was very cruel and treated people very unkindly [IDM].
4 Protož uslyšav David na poušti, že by Nábal střihl ovce své,
One day while David [and his men] were in the desert, someone told him that Nabal was cutting the wool from his sheep.
5 Poslal deset služebníků, a řekl David těm služebníkům: Vstupte na Karmel, a jděte k Nábalovi, a pozdravte ho slovem mým přátelsky.
So David told ten of his men, “Go to Nabal at Carmel and greet him for me.
6 A rcete jemu takto: Zdráv buď, a pokoj tobě, pokoj domu tvému, i všemu, což máš, pokoj.
Then tell to him this message from me, ‘I wish/desire that things will go well for you and your family and for everything that you possess.
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.
‘heard people say that you are cutting the wool from your sheep. Previously, when your shepherds were among us, we did not harm them. All the time that your shepherds were among us at Camel, we did not steal any sheep from them.
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.
You can ask your servants if this is true, and they will tell you [that it is true]. We have come here at a time when you are celebrating, so I ask you to please be kind to us and give these men whatever extra food you have, for me, David, and my men to eat.’”
9 Přišedše tedy mládenci ti Davidovi, mluvili Nábalovi podlé všech slov těchto jménem Davidovým, a umlkli.
When David’s men arrived where Nabal was, they gave David’s message to him, and they waited [for him to reply]. But Nabal spoke harshly to them.
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.
He said to them, “Who [does] this man, this son of Jesse, [think that he] is? [DOU, RHQ] There are many slaves who are running away from their masters at the present time, [and it seems to me that he is just one of them].
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?
I give bread and water to the men who are cutting the wool from my sheep, and I give them meat from animals that I have slaughtered. Why should I take some of those things and give them to a group of outlaws [RHQ]? (Who knows where they have come from?/I do not even know where they have come from.)” [RHQ]
12 A obrátivše se služebníci Davidovi na cestu svou, navrátili se, a přišedše, oznámili jemu všecka slova ta.
Then David’s men returned and told him what Nabal 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.
When David heard that, he told his men, “[We are going to kill Nabal; ] fasten your swords!” So he fastened on his sword and about 400 men fastened on their swords and went with David. There were 200 of his men who stayed with their 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;
One of Nabal’s servants [found out what David and his men were planning to do, so he] went to Nabal’s wife Abigail and said to her, “David sent some messengers from the desert to greet our master Nabal, but Nabal only yelled at them.
15 Ješto muži ti prospěšní nám byli velice, ani nám neučinili křivdy, aniž nám co zhynulo, když jsme bývali s nimi na poli.
All the time that we were in the fields close to them, those men of David were very kind to us. They did not harm us. They did not steal anything from us.
16 Místo zdi byli nám v noci i ve dne po všecky dny, dokudž jsme s nimi byli, pasouce stáda.
They protected us during the daytime and during the night. They were like a wall [MET] around us to protect us while we were taking care of our 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.
So now you should think about it and decide what you can do. [If you do not do something, ] terrible things will happen to our master and to all his family. Nabal is an extremely wicked man, with the result that [he will not heed anyone when] that person tries to tell him anything [that he should do].”
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.
[When] Abigail [heard that, she] very quickly gathered 200 loaves [of bread], and also got two leather bags full of wine, the meat from five sheep, a bushel of roasted grain, 100 packs of raisins, and 200 packs of dried figs. She put all those things on donkeys.
19 I řekla služebníkům svým: Jdětež napřed, a já za vámi půjdu. Ale muži svému Nábalovi neoznámila.
Then she told her servants, “Go ahead of me. I will follow you.” But she did not tell her husband [what she was going to do].
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.
David and his men [had left the place where they were staying and were on the road to Nabal’s property. They] were coming down a hill when they met Abigail.
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.
David had been saying to his men, “It was useless for us to protect that man and all his possessions here in this desert. We did not steal anything that belonged to him, but he has done evil to me in return for our good [things we did for him].
22 Toto učiň Bůh nepřátelům Davidovým a toto přidej, jestliže zanechám do jitra ze všeho, což má, až do toho, kterýž močí na stěnu.)
I hope/desire that God will strike me and kill me [IDM] if he or even one of his men [IDM] is still alive tomorrow morning!”
23 Tedy uzřevši Abigail Davida, rychle ssedla s osla, a padla před Davidem na tvář svou, a poklonila se až k zemi.
When Abigail saw David, she quickly got down from her donkey and bowed before him, with her face touching 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.
Then she prostrated herself at David’s feet and said to him, “Sir, I deserve to be punished [for what my husband has done]. Please listen to what I say to you.
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.
Please do not pay attention to [IDM] what this worthless man Nabal has said. His name means ‘fool’, and he surely is a foolish man. But I, who am [willing to be] your servant, did not see the messengers whom you sent to him.
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.
Yahweh has prevented you from getting revenge on anyone and killing anyone. I hope/desire that as surely as Yahweh lives and as surely as you live, your enemies will be [cursed] like Nabal will be.
27 Teď pak dar tento, kterýž přinesla děvka tvá pánu svému, nechť jest dán služebníkům, kteříž chodí za pánem mým.
I have brought a gift for you and for the men who are with you.
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.
Please forgive me if I have done anything wrong to you. Yahweh will surely [reward you by] allowing many of your descendants to become kings of Israel, because you are fighting the battles that Yahweh [wants you to fight]. And [I know that] throughout all your life you have not done anything wrong.
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.
Even when those who are trying to kill you pursue you, you are safe, because Yahweh your God takes care of you. You will be [protected as though you were] [MET] a bundle that he has safely tied up. But your enemies will [disappear as fast as stones] that are hurled from a sling.
30 A když učiní Hospodin pánu mému dobře podlé toho všeho, jakž zaslíbil tobě, a přikážeť, abys byl vůdcím nad Izraelem:
Yahweh has promised to do good things for you, and he will do what he has promised. And he will cause you to become the ruler of the Israeli people.
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.
When that happens, [you will be glad that you did not kill any] people in Nabal’s household. You will not think that you deserve to be punished for having taken revenge yourself and killed innocent people. And when Yahweh enables you to successfully [become the king], please do not forget [to be kind to] me.”
32 I řekl David k Abigail: Požehnaný Hospodin Bůh Izraelský, že tě poslal dne tohoto mně v cestu;
David replied to Abigail, “I praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], because he sent you to [talk with] me.
33 A požehnaná řeč tvá, i ty požehnaná, že jsi zdržela mne dnes, abych nevylil krve a nemstil sám sebe.
I hope/desire that Yahweh will bless you for being very wise. You have prevented me from taking revenge myself and killing many people [MTY] today.
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.
Just as surely as Yahweh the God whom we Israelis [worship] is alive, he has prevented me from harming you. If you had not come quickly to talk to me, neither Nabal nor even one of Nabal’s men [IDM] would be still alive tomorrow morning.”
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 accepted the gifts that Abigail had brought to him. He said to her, “I hope/desire that things will go well for you. I have heard what you said, and I will do what you have requested.”
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.
When Abigail returned to Nabal, he was in his house, having a big celebration like kings have. He was very drunk and feeling very happy. So Abigail did not say anything to him that night [about her meeting with David].
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.
The next morning, when he was no longer drunk, she told him everything [that had happened when she talked with David]. [Immediately] (he had a stroke/a blood vessel burst in his brain) and he became paralyzed [MET].
38 A když pominulo takměř deset dní, porazil Hospodin Nábale, i umřel.
About ten days later Yahweh struck him [again] 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.
After David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Praise Yahweh! Nabal insulted me, but Yahweh (vindicated me/got revenge for me). He has prevented me from [doing anything] wrong. And he has punished Nabal for the wrong that he did.” Then David sent [messengers] to Abigail, to ask her if she would become his 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.
His servants went to Carmel and said to Abigail, “David sent us to take you to become his wife.”
41 Kterážto vstavši, poklonila se na tvář až k zemi, řkuci: Aj, služebnice tvá za děvku bude, aby umývala nohy služebníkům pána svého.
Abigail bowed down with her face touching the ground. Then she told [the messengers to tell David], “[I am happy to become your wife]. I will be your servant. And I am willing to wash the feet of your slaves.”
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.
Abigail quickly got on her donkey and went with David’s messengers. Five of her maids went with her. [When she arrived where David was, ] she became his wife.
43 Též i Achinoam pojal David z Jezreel, a byly i tyto dvě manželky jeho.
David had previously married Ahinoam, a woman from Jezreel [town near Carmel]. So both Abigail and Ahinoam were now David’s wives.
44 Nebo Saul Míkol dceru svou, manželku Davidovu, dal byl Faltiovi, synu Lais, kterýž byl z Gallim.
King Saul’s daughter Michal was also David’s wife, but Saul had given her to Laish’s son Paltiel, who was from Gallim [town].
