1 Samuel 25

1 When Samuel died, all Israel gathered to mourn for him; and they buried him at his home in Ramah. Then David set out and went down to the Wilderness of Paran.

Samuel je umrl in vsi Izraelci so se zbrali skupaj, ga objokovali in ga pokopali v njegovi hiši v Rami. In David je vstal ter odšel dol k Paránski divjini.

2 Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel. He was a very wealthy man with a thousand goats and three thousand sheep, which he was shearing in Carmel.

Tam je bil mož v Maónu, katerega posesti so bile v Karmelu. Mož je bil zelo velik in imel je tri tisoč ovc in tisoč koz, in svoje ovce je strigel v Karmelu.

3 His name was Nabal, and his wife’s name was Abigail. She was an intelligent and beautiful woman, but her husband, a Calebite, was harsh and evil in his dealings.

Torej moževo ime je bilo Nabál in ime njegove žene Abigájila. Bila je ženska dobrega razumevanja in krasnega obličja, toda mož je bil skopušen in hudoben v svojih dejanjih. Bil je iz Kalébove hiše.

4 While David was in the wilderness, he heard that Nabal was shearing sheep.

David je v divjini slišal, da je Nabál strigel svoje ovce.

5 So David sent ten young men and instructed them, “Go up to Nabal at Carmel. Greet him in my name

David je poslal ven deset mladeničev in David je mladeničem rekel: »Povzpnite se gor do Karmela in pojdite k Nabálu ter ga pozdravite v mojem imenu.

6 and say to him, ‘Long life to you, and peace to you and your house and to all that belongs to you.

Tako boste rekli njemu, ki živi v uspevanju: ›Mir bodi tako tebi in mir bodi tvoji hiši in mir bodi vsemu, kar imaš.

7 Now I hear that it is time for shearing. When your shepherds were with us, we did not harass them, and nothing of theirs was missing the whole time they were in Carmel.

Sedaj sem slišal, da si imel strižce. Torej tvoji pastirji, ki so bili z nami, jih nismo poškodovali niti jim ni ničesar zmanjkalo, vse dokler so bili v Karmelu.

8 Ask your young men, and they will tell you. So let my young men find favor with you, for we have come on the day of a feast. Please give whatever you can afford to your servants and to your son David.’”

Vprašaj svoje mladeniče in ti bodo pokazali. Zato naj tvoji mladeniči najdejo naklonjenost v tvojih očeh, kajti prišli smo na dober dan. Daj, prosim te, karkoli pride k tvoji roki, svojim služabnikom in svojemu sinu Davidu.‹«

9 When David’s young men arrived, they relayed all these words to Nabal on behalf of David. Then they waited.

Ko so Davidovi mladeniči prišli, so v Davidovem imenu govorili Nabálu glede na vse te besede in prenehali.

10 But Nabal asked them, “Who is David? Who is this son of Jesse? Many servants these days are breaking away from their masters.

Nabál je odgovoril Davidovim služabnikom in rekel: »Kdo je David? Kdo je Jesejev sin? Današnje dni je mnogo služabnikov, ki se odtrgajo, vsak mož od svojega gospodarja.

11 Why should I take my bread and water and the meat I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give them to these men whose origin I do not know?”

Mar naj torej vzamem svoj kruh, svojo vodo in svoje meso, ki sem ga zaklal za svoje strižce in ga dam možem, za katere ne vem, od kod so?«

12 So David’s men turned around and went back, and they relayed to him all these words.

Tako so Davidovi mladeniči obrnili svojo pot in ponovno odšli in prišli ter mu povedali vse te besede.

13 And David said to his men, “Strap on your swords!” So David and all his men put on their swords, and about four hundred men followed David, while two hundred stayed with the supplies.

David je svojim možem rekel: »Opašite vsak mož svoj meč.« Opasali so vsak mož svoj meč in tudi David je opasal svoj meč in tam se je dvignilo za Davidom okoli štiristo mož. Dvesto pa jih je ostalo pri stvareh.

14 Meanwhile, one of Nabal’s young men informed Nabal’s wife Abigail, “Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, but he scolded them.

Toda eden izmed mladeničev je povedal Nabálovi ženi Abigájili, rekoč: »Glej, David je iz divjine poslal poslance, da pozdravijo našega gospodarja, on pa se jim je posmehoval.

15 Yet these men were very good to us. When we were in the field, we were not harassed, and nothing of ours went missing the whole time we lived among them.

Toda možje so bili zelo dobri do nas in nismo bili poškodovani niti nismo pogrešali nobene stvari, dokler smo bili seznanjeni z njimi, ko smo bili na poljih.

16 They were a wall around us, both day and night, the whole time we were herding our sheep near them.

Bili so nam zid, tako podnevi kakor ponoči, ves čas smo bili z njimi, čuvajoč ovce.

17 Now consider carefully what you must do, because disaster looms over our master and all his household. For he is such a scoundrel that nobody can speak to him!”

Zdaj torej vedi in preudari, kaj boš storila, kajti zlo je določeno zoper našega gospodarja in zoper vso njegovo družino, kajti on je tak Beliálov sin, da človek ne more govoriti z njim.«

18 Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five butchered sheep, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs. She loaded them on donkeys

Potem se je Abigájila podvizala in vzela dvesto hlebov, dva vinska meha, pet pripravljenih ovc, pet mer opraženega žita, sto grozdov rozin in dvesto figovih kolačev in jih položila na osle.

19 and said to her young men, “Go ahead of me. I will be right behind you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal.

Svojim služabnikom je rekla: »Pojdite naprej pred menoj. Glejte, jaz pridem za vami.« Toda svojemu soprogu Nabálu ni povedala.

20 As Abigail came riding her donkey into a mountain ravine, she saw David and his men coming down toward her, and she met them.

To je bilo tako, medtem ko je jahala na oslu, da je prišla dol ob zavetju hriba in glej, David in njegovi možje so prihajali dol, nasproti njej in jih je srečala.

21 Now David had just finished saying, “In vain I have protected all that belonged to this man in the wilderness. Nothing that belongs to him has gone missing, yet he has paid me back evil for good.

Torej David je rekel: »Zagotovo sem v divjini zaman varoval vse, kar je imel ta pajdaš, tako da ni zmanjkalo ničesar od vsega, kar je pripadalo njemu, on pa mi je povrnil zlo za dobro.

22 May God punish David, and ever so severely, if I let one of Nabal’s men survive until morning.”

Tako in še več naj tudi Bog stori Davidovim sovražnikom, če do jutranje svetlobe pustim od vsega, kar pripada njemu, karkoli, kar lula proti zidu.«

23 When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off the donkey, fell facedown, and bowed before him.

Ko je Abigájila zagledala Davida, je pohitela in razbremenila osla in pred Davidom padla na svoj obraz in se priklonila do tal

24 She fell at his feet and said, “My lord, may the blame be on me alone, but please let your servant speak to you; hear the words of your servant.

in padla ob njegovih stopalih ter rekla: »Nad menoj, moj gospod, nad menoj naj bo ta krivičnost. Naj tvoja pomočnica, prosim te, govori v tvoji pozornosti in poslušaj besede svoje pomočnice.

25 My lord should pay no attention to this scoundrel Nabal, for he lives up to his name: His name means Fool, and folly accompanies him. I, your servant, did not see my lord’s young men whom you sent.

Naj se moj gospod, prosim te, ne ozira na tega Beliálovega moža, celó Nabála, kajti kakor je njegovo ime, takšen je on; Nabál je njegovo ime in bedaštvo je z njim, toda jaz, tvoja pomočnica, nisem videla mladeničev svojega gospoda, ki si jih poslal.

26 Now, my lord, as surely as the LORD lives and you yourself live, the LORD has held you back from coming to bloodshed and avenging yourself with your own hand. May your enemies and those who seek harm for my lord be like Nabal.

Zdaj torej, moj gospod, kakor živi Gospod in kakor živi tvoja duša, glede na to, da te je Gospod zadržal pred tem, da bi prihajal prelit kri in pred tem, da bi se maščeval s svojo lastno roko, naj bodo torej tvoji sovražniki in tisti, ki iščejo zlo mojemu gospodu, kakor Nabál.

27 Now let this gift your servant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who follow you.

Naj bo sedaj ta blagoslov, ki ga je tvoja pomočnica prinesla mojemu gospodu, dan mladeničem, ki sledijo mojemu gospodu.

28 Please forgive your servant’s offense, for the LORD will surely make a lasting dynasty for my lord, because he fights the LORD’s battles. May no evil be found in you as long as you live.

Prosim te, odpusti prekršek svoje pomočnice, kajti Gospod bo zagotovo naredil mojemu gospodu zanesljivo hišo, ker moj gospod bojuje Gospodove bitke in vse tvoje dni zlo ni bilo najdeno v tebi.

29 And should someone pursue you and seek your life, then the life of my lord will be bound securely by the LORD your God in the bundle of the living. But He shall fling away the lives of your enemies like stones from a sling.

Vendar se je vzdignil človek, da te preganja in da išče tvojo dušo, toda duša mojega gospoda bo zvezana v svežnju življenja z Gospodom, tvojim Bogom. Duše tvojih sovražnikov, njih bo zalučal ven kakor iz srede prače.

30 When the LORD has done for my lord all the good He promised, and when He has appointed you ruler over Israel,

In zgodilo se bo, ko bo Gospod storil mojemu gospodu glede na vse dobro, kar je govoril glede tebe in te določil vladarja nad Izraelom,

31 then my lord will have no remorse or guilt of conscience over needless bloodshed and revenge. And when the LORD has dealt well with my lord, may you remember your maidservant.”

da to ne bo žalost tebi niti prizadeto srce mojemu gospodu ali da si brez vzroka prelil kri ali da se je moj gospod sam maščeval, temveč ko bo Gospod dobro postopal z mojim gospodom, takrat se spomni svoje pomočnice.«

32 Then David said to Abigail, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you to meet me this day!

David je rekel Abigájili: »Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, Izraelov Bog, ki te je ta dan poslal, da me srečaš

33 Blessed is your discernment, and blessed are you, because today you kept me from bloodshed and from avenging myself by my own hand.

in blagoslovljen bodi tvoj nasvet in blagoslovljena bodi ti, ki si me ta dan zadržala pred prihajanjem, da prelijem kri in pred maščevanjem sebe s svojo lastno roko.

34 Otherwise, as surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, who has restrained me from harming you, if you had not come quickly to meet me, then surely no male belonging to Nabal would have been left alive by morning light.”

Kajti zagotovo, kakor Gospod, Izraelov Bog, živi, ki me je zadržal pred tem, da ti škodujem, razen če ne bi pohitela in prišla, da me srečaš, zagotovo ne bi do jutranje svetlobe Nabálu ostalo karkoli, kar lula proti zidu.«

35 Then David accepted from her hand what she had brought him, and he said to her, “Go home in peace. See, I have heeded your voice and granted your request.”

Tako je David iz njene roke prejel to, kar mu je prinesla in ji rekel: »Pojdi gor v miru k svoji hiši. Glej, prisluhnil sem tvojemu glasu in sprejel tvojo osebo.«

36 When Abigail returned to Nabal, there he was in the house, holding a feast fit for a king, in high spirits and very drunk. So she told him nothing until morning light.

Abigájila je prišla k Nabálu in glej, v svoji hiši je imel zabavo, kakor kraljevo zabavo. Nabálovo srce je bilo veselo znotraj njega, kajti bil je zelo pijan. Zato mu ni ničesar povedala, manj ali več, do jutranje svetlobe.

37 In the morning when Nabal was sober, his wife told him about these events, and his heart failed within him and he became like a stone.

Toda zjutraj se je pripetilo, ko je vino odšlo iz Nabála in mu je njegova žena povedala te stvari, da je njegovo srce znotraj njega umrlo in je postal kakor kamen.

38 About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal dead.

Pripetilo se je okoli deset dni kasneje, da je Gospod udaril Nabála, da je umrl.

39 On hearing that Nabal was dead, David said, “Blessed be the LORD, who has upheld my cause against the reproach of Nabal and has restrained His servant from evil. For the LORD has brought the wickedness of Nabal down upon his own head.” Then David sent word to Abigail, asking for her in marriage.

Ko je David slišal, da je bil Nabál mrtev, je rekel: »Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, ki je zagovarjal zadevo moje graje pred Nabálovo roko in je svojega služabnika obvaroval pred zlom, kajti Gospod je Nabálovo zlobnost povrnil na njegovo lastno glavo.« In David je poslal in se posvetoval z Abigájilo, da si jo vzame k sebi za ženo.

40 When his servants came to Abigail at Carmel, they said, “David has sent us to take you as his wife.”

Ko so Davidovi služabniki prišli k Abigájili v Karmel, so ji spregovorili, rekoč: »David nas je poslal k tebi, da te vzame k sebi za ženo.«

41 She arose, then bowed facedown and said, “Here is your maidservant, ready to serve and to wash the feet of my lord’s servants.”

Vzdignila se je, se priklonila na svoj obraz k zemlji in rekla: »Glej, naj bo tvoja pomočnica služabnica, da umiva stopala služabnikov mojega gospoda.«

42 So Abigail hurried and got on a donkey, and attended by five of her maidens, she followed David’s messengers and became his wife.

Abigájila je pohitela, vstala ter jahala na oslu s petimi svojimi gospodičnami, ki so šle za njo in odšla je za Davidovimi poslanci ter postala njegova žena.

43 David had also married Ahinoam of Jezreel. So she and Abigail were both his wives.

David je vzel tudi Ahinóam iz Jezreéla in obe izmed njiju sta bili njegovi ženi.

44 But Saul had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Palti son of Laish, who was from Gallim.

Toda Savel je dal svojo hčer Mihálo, Davidovo ženo, Paltíju, Lajiševemu sinu, ki je bil iz Galíma.
