1 Samuelova 19
1 Mluvil pak Saul k Jonatovi synu svému a ke všechněm služebníkům svým, aby zamordovali Davida, ale Jonata syn Saulův liboval sobě Davida velmi.
Then Saul urged all his servants and his son Jonathan to kill David. But Jonathan liked David very much.
2 I oznámil to Jonata Davidovi, řka: Usiluje Saul otec můj, aby tě zabil; protož nyní šetř se, prosím, až do jitra, a usadě se v skrytě, schovej se.
So he warned David, “My father Saul is seeking for a way to kill you. So be careful. Tomorrow morning go and find a place to hide [in the field].
3 Ale jáť vyjdu a státi budu při boku otci svému na poli, kdež ty budeš, a budu mluviti o tobě s otcem svým, a čemuž vyrozumím, oznámím tobě.
I will ask my father to go out there with me. [While we are out there], I will talk to him about you. Then I will tell you everything that he tells me.” [So David did what Jonathan told him to do].
4 I mluvil Jonata o Davidovi dobře Saulovi otci svému, a řekl: Nechť nehřeší král proti služebníku svému Davidovi, nebť jest nic tobě neprovinil, nýbrž správa jeho jest tobě velmi užitečná.
[The next morning], Jonathan spoke with his father, saying many good things about David. He said, “You should never do anything to harm your servant David! He has never done anything to harm you! Everything that he has done has helped you very much.
5 Nebo se opovážil života svého a zabil Filistinského, a učinil Hospodin vysvobození veliké všemu Izraeli. Viděls to a radoval jsi se. Pročež bys tedy hřešil proti krvi nevinné, chtěje zabiti Davida bez příčiny?
He was in danger of being killed when he fought against [Goliath, the champion of] the Philistia [army. By enabling David to kill him], Yahweh won a great victory for all the people of Israel. You were very happy when you saw that. Why would you want to do anything now to harm David [RHQ]? There is no reason for you to kill him, because he has not done anything wrong!”
6 I uposlechl Saul řeči Jonatovy a přisáhl Saul, řka: Živť jest Hospodin, žeť nebude zabit.
Saul listened to what Jonathan said. Then Saul said, “I solemnly promise that just as certain as Yahweh lives, I will not kill David.”
7 Tedy Jonata povolal Davida, a oznámil jemu Jonata všecka slova tato. A přivedl Jonata Davida k Saulovi, i byl před ním jako i prvé.
Afterward, Jonathan summoned David and told him what he and Saul had said. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and David served Saul as he had done before.
8 Vznikla pak opět válka; a vytáh David, bojoval proti Filistinským, a porazil je porážkou velikou, a utekli před ním.
One day a war started again, and David [led his soldiers to] fight against the Philistia army. David’s [army] attacked them very furiously, with the result that the Philistia army ran away.
9 V tom duch Hospodinův zlý napadl Saule, kterýž v domě svém seděl, maje kopí své v ruce své, a David hrál rukou před ním.
But one day when sitting in his house, an evil spirit [sent] from Yahweh [suddenly] came upon Saul. While David was playing his harp [for Saul],
10 Ale Saul chtěl prohoditi Davida kopím až do stěny; kterýž uhnul se mu, a udeřilo kopí v stěnu. A tak David utekl a vynikl z nebezpečenství té noci.
Saul hurled his spear at David to try to fasten him to the wall. David (dodged/jumped to one side), and the spear did not hit him. The spear stuck in the wall, but that night David escaped.
11 Potom poslal Saul posly k domu Davidovu, aby ho střáhli a zabili jej ráno. I oznámila to Davidovi Míkol manželka jeho, řkuci: Jestliže se neopatříš noci této, zítra zabit budeš.
Then Saul sent messengers to David’s house. He told them to watch the house and to kill David [while he was leaving the house] the following morning. But David’s wife Michal [saw them and] warned him, “To survive, you must run away tonight, because if you do not do that, you will be killed tomorrow!”
12 A protož spustila Míkol Davida oknem, kterýž odšed, utekl a vynikl z nebezpečenství.
So she enabled David to climb out through a window, and he ran away and escaped.
13 Vzala pak Míkol obraz a vložila na lůže, a polštář kozí položila v hlavách jeho a přikryla šaty.
Then Michal took an idol and put it in the bed. She covered it with some [of David’s] clothes, and put some goat’s hair on the head of the idol.
14 Tedy Saul poslal posly, aby vzali Davida. I řekla: Jest nemocen.
When the messengers came [to the house the next morning], she told them that David was sick [and could not get out of bed].
15 Opět poslal Saul posly, aby pohleděli na Davida, řka: Přineste ho na lůži ke mně, ať ho zabiji.
[When they reported that to] Saul, he told them to go back to David’s house. He said to them, “Bring him to me lying on his bed, in order that I can kill him!”
16 A když přišli poslové, a aj, obraz ležel na lůži a polštář kozí v hlavách jeho.
But when those men entered David’s house, they saw that there was only an idol in the bed, with goat’s hair on its head.
17 I řekl Saul k Míkol: Proč jsi mne tak podvedla a pustilas nepřítele mého, aby ušel? Odpověděla Míkol Saulovi: On mi řekl: Propusť mne, sic jinak zabiji tě.
[When they reported that to Saul, ] Saul [summoned] Michal [and] said to her, “Why did you trick me like that? You allowed my enemy to escape!” Michal replied to Saul, “David told me that if I did not help him escape, he would kill me!” [RHQ]
18 David tedy utíkaje, vynikl z nebezpečenství, a přišed k Samuelovi do Ráma, oznámil jemu všecko, co mu Saul učinil. I odšel on i Samuel, a bydlili v Náiot.
After David had escaped from Saul, he went to Samuel, who was [at his home] at Ramah. He told Samuel everything that Saul had done to [try to kill] him. Then David and Samuel went to Naioth, [which was a section] of [Ramah city], and they stayed there.
19 Oznámeno pak bylo Saulovi, řka: Aj, David jest v Náiot v Ráma.
Someone told Saul that David was in Naioth.
20 I poslal Saul posly, aby jali Davida. Kteříž když viděli zástup proroků prorokujících, a Samuele jim představeného, an stojí, sstoupil také na posly Saulovy Duch Boží, a prorokovali i oni.
So Saul sent some messengers to capture David. [When] those messengers [arrived in Ramah, they] met some men who were proclaiming ecstatic messages, and Samuel was there, as their leader. When Saul’s messengers met them, the Spirit of God took control of Saul’s men, and they also spoke ecstatically.
21 To když oznámili Saulovi, poslal jiné posly, a prorokovali také i oni; a opět poslal Saul třetí posly, a i ti prorokovali.
When Saul heard about that, he sent messengers a third time, but they also started to speak ecstatically.
22 Šel tedy již sám do Ráma a přišel až k čisterni veliké, kteráž jest v Socho, a zeptal se, řka: Kde jest Samuel a David? I řekl někdo: Aj, jsou v Náiot v Ráma.
Finally, Saul himself went to Ramah. When he arrived at the well at [a place named] Secu, he asked people there, “Where are Samuel and David?” The people replied, “They are at Naioth in Ramah [city].”
23 I šel tam do Náiot v Ráma; a sstoupil i na něj Duch Boží, a jda dále, prorokoval, až i přišel do Náiot v Ráma.
While Saul was walking toward Naioth, the Spirit of God also took control of him. [While he walked on], he continued speaking ecstatic messages until he came to Naioth.
24 Kdežto svlékl také sám roucho své a prorokoval i on před Samuelem, a padna, ležel svlečený celý ten den a noc. Odkudž se říká: Zdali také Saul mezi proroky?
There he took off his clothes, and he spoke messages from God in front of Samuel. He lay on the ground doing that all day and all night. That is the reason that [when people see someone doing something that is very unexpected, they think about what happened to Saul, and] they say, “We are surprised, like the people were surprised to see Saul [acting like] a prophet?” [RHQ]
