1 Samuelova 28
1 I stalo se za dnů těch, že Filistinští sebrali vojska svá k boji, aby bojovali s Izraelem. I řekl Achis Davidovi: Věz nepochybně, že potáhneš se mnou na vojnu, ty i muži tvoji.
Some time later, the people of Philistia gathered their army to attack the Israelis [again]. King Achish told David, “I am expecting that you and your men will join with my men to attack [the Israelis].”
2 Odpověděl David Achisovi: Teprv ty poznáš, co učiní služebník tvůj. I řekl Achis Davidovi: Touť příčinou strážným života svého tě ustanovím po všecky dny.
David replied, “[We will go with you, and then] you will see for yourself what we can do!” Achish said, “Okay, I will appoint you to be my bodyguard permanently.”
3 (Samuel pak již byl umřel; pročež plakal ho všecken Izrael, a pochovali jej v Ráma, totiž v městě jeho. A Saul byl vyplénil věšťce a hadače z země.)
[While Samuel was still alive, Saul did many things that pleased Yahweh. One of the good things that] Saul [did was to] expel from Israel all the people who were fortune-tellers or who talked to the spirits of dead people. But Samuel had died, and all the Israeli people had mourned for him. Then they had buried him in Ramah, his hometown. [After that, Saul did not try to please Yahweh any more].
4 Tedy shromáždivše se Filistinští, přitáhli a položili se u Sunem. Shromáždil i Saul všeho Izraele, a položili se v Gelboe.
The army of Philistia gathered and set up their tents at Shunem [city, in the north of Israel]. Saul gathered the Israeli army and set up their tents at Gilboa [in the eastern part of the same valley].
5 Vida pak Saul vojsko Filistinské, bál se, a uleklo se srdce jeho velmi.
When Saul saw the army of Philistia, he became so afraid that his heart pounded/shook.
6 I dotazoval se Saul Hospodina, ale Hospodin neodpovídal jemu ani skrze sny, ani skrze urim, ani skrze proroky.
He prayed to Yahweh, but Yahweh did not answer him. Yahweh did not [tell Saul what he should do by] giving him a dream, or by [having the priest throw] the marked stones [that were in his sacred vest], or by [giving a message about Saul to] any prophet.
7 Protož řekl Saul služebníkům svým: Pohledejte mi ženy mající ducha věštího, i půjdu k ní a poradím se skrze ni. Jemuž odpověděli služebníci jeho: Aj, žena mající ducha věštího v Endor.
Then Saul said to his servants, “Find for me a woman who talks to the spirits of dead people, in order that I can ask her [what will happen].” His servants replied, “There is a woman in Endor [town] who does that.”
8 Tedy změniv Saul oděv, oblékl se v roucho jiné, a šel sám a dva muži s ním, a přišli k ženě té v noci. I řekl: Medle hádej mi skrze ducha věštího, a způsob to, ať ke mně vyjde ten, kohož bych jmenoval tobě.
So Saul [took off the clothes that showed that he was the king, and he] put on ordinary clothes (to disguise himself/so that people would not recognize who he was). Then he and two of his men went during the night to talk to that woman. Saul said to her, “I want you to talk to a spirit [of someone who has died]. Cause to appear the person whose name I will [give to you].”
9 Ale žena řekla jemu: Aj, ty víš, co učinil Saul, kterak vyhladil věšťce a hadače z země. Pročež tedy ty pokládáš osídlo duši mé, abys mne o hrdlo připravil?
But the woman replied, “You surely know what Saul has done. He expelled from this land all the people who talk to spirits of dead people and all fortune-tellers. I think that you are trying to trap me, in order that I will be executed [for doing something that is not permitted].”
10 I přisáhl jí Saul skrze Hospodina, řka: Živť jest Hospodin, že nepřijde na tě trestání pro tu věc.
Saul replied, solemnly asking Yahweh to listen to what he was saying, “Just as surely as Yahweh lives, you will not be punished for doing this.”
11 Tedy řekla žena: Kohožť mám vyvésti? Kterýž řekl: Samuele mi vyveď.
Then the woman said, “Whom do you want me to cause to appear?” Saul replied, “Cause Samuel to appear.”
12 A když uzřela žena Samuele, zkřikla hlasem velikým, a řekla žena Saulovi takto: Pročež jsi mne oklamal! Nebo ty jsi Saul.
[So] the woman [did that. But] when she saw Samuel, she screamed. She said, “You have tricked me [RHQ]! You are Saul! [You will execute me for doing this]!”
13 I řekl jí král: Neboj se. Což jsi pak viděla? Odpověděla žena Saulovi: Bohy jsem viděla vystupující z země.
Saul said to her, “Do not be afraid. What do you see?” The woman said, “I see a god/spirit coming up out of the ground.”
14 Řekl jí opět: Jaký jest způsob jeho? Odpověděla jemu: Muž starý vystupuje a jest oděný pláštěm. Tedy srozuměl Saul, že by Samuel byl, a sehnuv se tváří k zemi, poklonil se jemu.
Saul said, “What does he look like?” The woman replied, “An old man wearing a robe is appearing.” Then Saul knew that it was Samuel. So he bowed down with his face touching the ground.
15 I řekl Samuel Saulovi: Proč mne nepokojíš, že jsi mne zavolati rozkázal? Odpověděl Saul: Úzkostmi sevřín jsem velice; nebo Filistinští bojují proti mně, a Bůh odstoupil ode mne, a neodpovídá mi více, ani skrze proroky, ani skrze sny. Protož povolal jsem tě, abys mi oznámil, co bych měl činiti.
Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you bothered/disturbed me by causing me to appear?” Saul said, “I am very worried. The army of Philistia is about to attack my army, and God has abandoned me. He does not answer my questions any more. He does not give me dreams [to tell me what to do] or give messages to prophets [to tell me what to do]. That is the reason that I came to see you. So you tell me what I should do!”
16 I řekl Samuel: Proč tedy se mne dotazuješ, poněvadž Hospodin odstoupil od tebe, a jest s nepřítelem tvým?
Samuel said, “Yahweh has abandoned you and has become your enemy. So why do you ask me [what you should do]? [RHQ]
17 Učiniltě zajisté jemu Hospodin, jakož mluvil skrze mne, a odtrhl Hospodin království od ruky tvé, a dal je bližnímu tvému, Davidovi.
He has done what he told me [previously] that he would do to you. He has torn the kingdom away from you, and he is giving it to someone who is another Israeli—David.
18 Nebo že jsi neuposlechl hlasu Hospodinova, a nevykonals hněvu prchlivosti jeho nad Amalechem, protož učinil tobě to dnes Hospodin.
You did not obey Yahweh. Yahweh was very angry with the Amalek people-group. You did not [kill all of their animals], with the result that you did not show that he was very angry with them. That is the reason that he has done this to you today.
19 Nadto vydá Hospodin i Izraele s tebou v ruku Filistinských, a zítra budeš ty i synové tvoji se mnou. I vojska Izraelská vydá Hospodin v ruku Filistinských.
Yahweh will enable the Philistia army to defeat you and all the other Israeli soldiers. And tomorrow you and your sons will be with me [in the place where spirits of dead people are]. Yahweh will cause the whole Israeli army to be defeated by the Philistia army.” [And after Samuel said that, he disappeared].
20 I padl Saul náhle tak, jak dlouhý byl, na zem, nebo se byl ulekl náramně slov Samuelových. K tomu ani síly v něm nebylo, nebo nic nejedl celý ten den a celou tu noc.
Saul immediately fell flat on the ground. He was so afraid because of what Samuel had said that he became paralyzed. He was also very weak because he had not eaten anything all that day and night.
21 Přistoupivši pak ta žena k Saulovi a uzřevši, že jest předěšen náramně, řekla jemu: Aj, uposlechla děvka tvá hlasu tvého, a opovážila jsem se života svého, že jsem uposlechla slov tvých, kteráž jsi mluvil ke mně.
The woman saw that he was extremely worried/terrified. She said to him, “Listen to me! I have done what you requested me to do. I could be executed for doing that.
22 Nyní tedy uposlechni i ty, prosím, hlasu děvky své, a položím před tebe kousek chleba, abys jedl a posilil se, a tak jíti mohl cestou svou.
So now please pay attention to what I say. Allow me to give you some food, in order that you will [eat it and] get enough strength to go back [to your army].”
23 Kterýž odepřel a řekl: Nebuduť jísti. I přinutili ho služebníci jeho, ano i ta žena, tak že uposlechl hlasu jejich, a vstav s země, sedl na lůžko.
But Saul refused. He said, “No, I will not eat anything.” Then Saul’s servants also urged him [to eat something], and finally he heeded what they said. He got up from the ground and sat on the bed.
24 Měla pak ta žena tele tučné v domě, kteréž spěšně zabila, a vzavši mouky, zadělala, a napekla z ní chlebů přesných.
The woman had a fat calf close to her house. She quickly slaughtered it [and cooked it]. She took some flour and mixed it [with olive oil], and baked it without putting in any yeast.
25 Potom přinesla před Saule a služebníky jeho, kteříž jedli, a vstavše v touž noc, odešli.
She placed the food in front of Saul and his servants, and they ate some of it. Then that night they got up and left.
