< 1 Samuel 23 >
1 And they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing-floors.
Potem so povedali Davidu, rekoč: »Glej, Filistejci se bojujejo zoper Keílo in ropajo mlatišča.«
2 Therefore David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And Jehovah said to David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah.
Zato je David poizvedel od Gospoda, rekoč: »Ali naj grem in udarim te Filistejce?« Gospod je rekel Davidu: »Pojdi in udari Filistejce in reši Keílo.«
3 And David's men said to him, Behold, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?
Davidovi ljudje so mu rekli: »Glej, bojimo se tukaj v Judu. Koliko bolj potem, če pridemo v Keílo zoper vojske Filistejcev?«
4 Then David inquired of Jehovah yet again. And Jehovah answered him, and said, Arise, go down to Keilah, for I will deliver the Philistines into thy hand.
Potem je David ponovno poizvedel od Gospoda. In Gospod mu je odgovoril ter rekel: »Vstani, pojdi dol v Keílo, kajti jaz bom Filistejce izročil v tvojo roko.«
5 And David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and killed them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
Tako so David in njegovi ljudje odšli v Keílo in se borili s Filistejci in odvedli njihovo živino in jih udarili z velikim pokolom. Tako je David rešil prebivalce Keíle.
6 And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand.
Pripetilo se je, ko je Ahimélehov sin Abjatár pobegnil k Davidu v Keílo, da je ta prišel dol z efódom v svoji roki.
7 And it was told Saul that David came to Keilah. And Saul said, God has delivered him into my hand, for he is shut in by entering into a town that has gates and bars.
Savlu je bilo povedano to, da je David prišel v Keílo. Savel je rekel: »Bog ga je izročil v mojo roko, kajti z vstopom v mesto, ki ima velika vrata in zapahe, je zaprt noter.«
8 And Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.
Savel je vse ljudstvo sklical skupaj k vojni, da gredo dol v Keílo, da oblegajo Davida in njegove može.
9 And David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him, and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring here the ephod.
David pa je vedel, da je Savel zoper njega skrivno izvajal vragolijo in duhovniku Abjatárju je rekel: »Prinesi sèm efód.«
10 Then said David, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, thy servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah to destroy the city for my sake.
Potem je David rekel: »Oh Gospod, Izraelov Bog, tvoj služabnik je zagotovo slišal, da Savel išče, da bi prišel v Keílo, da zaradi mene uniči mesto.
11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? Will Saul come down as thy servant has heard? O Jehovah, the God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And Jehovah said, He will come down.
Ali me bodo možje iz Keíle izročili v njegovo roko? Ali bo Savel prišel dol, kakor je tvoj služabnik slišal? Oh Gospod, Izraelov Bog, rotim te, povej svojemu služabniku.« Gospod je rekel: »Prišel bo dol.«
12 Then David said, Will the men of Keilah deliver up me and my men into the hand of Saul? And Jehovah said, They will deliver thee up.
Potem je David rekel: »Ali bodo možje iz Keíle izročili mene in moje ljudi v Savlovo roko?« Gospod je rekel: »Izročili te bodo.«
13 Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went wherever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah, and he ceased to go forth.
Potem so David in njegovi možje, ki jih je bilo okoli šeststo, vstali in odrinili iz Keíle in odšli, kamor so lahko šli. To je bilo povedano Savlu, da je David pobegnil iz Keíle in ta je opustil, da gre naprej.
14 And David abode in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill-country in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God did not deliver him into his hand.
David je prebival v divjini, v oporiščih in ostal na gori, v divjini Zif. Savel ga je vsak dan iskal, toda Bog ga ni izročil v njegovo roko.
15 And David saw that Saul came out to seek his life, and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the forest.
David je videl, da je Savel prišel ven, da bi stregel po njegovem življenju in David je bil v Zifski divjini, v gozdu.
16 And Jonathan, Saul's son, arose, and went to David into the forest, and strengthened his hand in God.
Savlov sin Jonatan je vstal in odšel k Davidu v gozd in okrepil njegovo roko v Bogu.
17 And he said to him, Fear not, for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee. And thou shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to thee. And that, Saul my father also knows.
Rekel mu je: »Ne boj se, kajti roka mojega očeta Savla te ne bo našla. Ti boš kralj nad Izraelom in jaz bom poleg tebe in to tudi moj oče Savel ve.«
18 And those two made a covenant before Jehovah. And David abode in the forest, and Jonathan went to his house.
Onadva sta sklenila zavezo pred Gospodom in David je ostal v gozdu, Jonatan pa je odšel k svoji hiši.
19 Then the Ziphites came up to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Does not David hide himself with us in the strongholds in the forest, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the desert?
Potem so prišli gor Zífovci k Savlu v Gíbeo, rekoč: »Ali se ne skriva David z nami v oporiščih v gozdu, na hribu Hahíla, ki je na jugu Ješimona?
20 Now therefore, O king, come down, according to all the desire of thy soul to come down, and our part shall be to deliver him up into the king's hand.
Zdaj torej, oh kralj, pridi dol glede na vso željo svoje duše, da prideš dol in naš del bo, da ga izročimo v kraljevo roko.«
21 And Saul said, Blessed be ye of Jehovah, for ye have had compassion on me.
Savel je rekel: »Blagoslovljeni bodite od Gospoda, kajti do mene imate sočutje.
22 Go, I pray you, make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who has seen him there, for it is told me that he deals very shrewdly.
Pojdite, prosim vas, še pripravite in spoznajte in poglejte na njegov kraj, kjer je njegovo shajališče in kdo ga je videl tam, kajti povedano mi je, da postopa zelo premeteno.
23 See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking-places where he hides himself, and come ye again to me of a certainty. And I will go with you, and it shall come to pass, if he is in the land, that I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah.
Glejte torej in vzemite spoznanje o vseh skrivnih krajih, kjer se sam skriva in ponovno pridite k meni z gotovostjo in jaz bom šel z vami in zgodilo se bo, če bo v deželi, da ga bom poiskal med vsemi Judovimi tisočimi.«
24 And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul, but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of the desert.
Vstali so in pred Savlom odšli v Zif, toda David in njegovi ljudje so bili v Maónski divjini, na ravnini, južno od Ješimona.
25 And Saul and his men went to seek him. And they told David. Therefore he came down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.
Tudi Savel in njegovi ljudje so odšli, da ga iščejo. Davidu so povedali, zato je prišel dol v skalo in ostal v Maónski divjini. Ko je Savel to slišal, je zasledoval Davida v Maónski divjini.
26 And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain. And David made haste to get away for fear of Saul. For Saul and his men encompassed David and his men round about to take them.
Savel je šel po tej strani gore, David in njegovi ljudje pa po oni strani gore. David se je podvizal, da odide zaradi strahu pred Savlom, kajti Savel in njegovi ljudje so obkolili Davida in njegove može okrog in okrog, da jih zgrabijo.
27 But there came a messenger to Saul, saying, Hasten thee, and come, for the Philistines have made a raid upon the land.
Toda k Savlu je prišel poslanec, rekoč: »Pohiti in pridi, kajti Filistejci so vdrli v deželo.«
28 So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines. Therefore they called that place Sela-hammahlekoth.
Zato se je Savel vrnil od zasledovanja za Davidom in odšel zoper Filistejce. Zato so ta kraj imenovali Sela-hamah-lekot.
29 And David went up from there, and dwelt in the strongholds of En-gedi.
David se je dvignil od tam in prebival v oporiščih pri En Gediju.
