1 Samuel 26
1 Then the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding on the hill of Hachilah, opposite Jeshimon?”
Opet doðoše Zifeji k Saulu u Gavaju govoreæi: ne krije li se David na brdu Eheli prema Gesimonu?
2 So Saul, accompanied by three thousand chosen men of Israel, went down to the Wilderness of Ziph to search for David there.
A Saul se podiže i siðe u pustinju Zifsku, i s njim tri tisuæe ljudi izabranijeh iz Izrailja, da traži Davida u pustinji Zifskoj.
3 Saul camped beside the road at the hill of Hachilah opposite Jeshimon, but David was living in the wilderness. When he realized that Saul had followed him there,
I stade Saul u oko na brdu Eheli prema Gesimonu kraj puta; a David osta u pustinji, i opazi da Saul ide za njim u pustinju.
4 David sent out spies to verify that Saul had arrived.
I posla David uhode, i od njih dozna zacijelo da je došao Saul.
5 Then David set out and went to the place where Saul had camped. He saw the place where Saul and Abner son of Ner, the general of his army, had lain down. Saul was lying inside the inner circle of the camp, with the troops camped around him.
Tada se podiže David i doðe na mjesto gdje Saul bijaše s vojskom. I David vidje mjesto gdje spavaše Saul i Avenir sin Nirov vojvoda njegov; a spavaše Saul meðu kolima a narod ležaše oko njega.
6 And David asked Ahimelech the Hittite and Abishai son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, “Who will go down with me to Saul in the camp?” “I will go with you,” answered Abishai.
I David progovori i reèe Ahimelehu Hetejinu i Avisaju sinu Serujinu bratu Joavovu: ko æe siæi sa mnom k Saulu u oko? A Avisaj odgovori: ja æu siæi s tobom.
7 That night David and Abishai came to the troops, and Saul was lying there asleep in the inner circle of the camp, with his spear stuck in the ground by his head. And Abner and the troops were lying around him.
I tako David i Avisaj doðoše noæu k narodu; a gle, Saul ležaše i spavaše izmeðu kola, i koplje mu bješe èelo glave pobodeno u zemlju; Avenir pak i narod ležahu oko njega.
8 Abishai said to David, “Today God has delivered your enemy into your hand. Now, therefore, please let me thrust the spear through him into the ground with one stroke. I will not need to strike him twice!”
Tada reèe Avisaj Davidu: danas ti dade Bog neprijatelja tvojega u ruke; zato sada da ga probodem kopljem za zemlju jedanput, neæu više.
9 But David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy him, for who can lift a hand against the LORD’s anointed and be guiltless?”
A David reèe Avisaju: nemoj ga ubiti; jer ko æe podignuti ruku svoju na pomazanika Gospodnjega i biti prav?
10 David added, “As surely as the LORD lives, the LORD Himself will strike him down; either his day will come and he will die, or he will go into battle and perish.
Još reèe David: tako živ bio Gospod, Gospod æe ga ubiti, ili æe doæi dan njegov da umre, ili æe izaæi u boj i poginuti.
11 But the LORD forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the LORD’s anointed. Instead, take the spear and water jug by his head, and let us go.”
Ne dao mi Bog da dignem ruku svoju na pomazanika Gospodnjega! Nego uzmi sada koplje što mu je èelo glave i èašu za vodu, pa da idemo.
12 So David took the spear and water jug by Saul’s head, and they departed. No one saw them or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up; they all remained asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen on them.
I David uze koplje i èašu za vodu, što bješe èelo glave Saulu, i otidoše; i niko ih ne vidje ni osjeti, niti se koji probudi, nego svi spavahu; jer bješe napao na njih tvrd san od Gospoda.
13 Then David crossed to the other side and stood atop the mountain at a distance; there was a wide gulf between them.
I David prešav na drugu stranu stade navrh brda izdaleka; i bješe izmeðu njih mnogo mjesta.
14 And David shouted to the troops and to Abner son of Ner, “Will you not answer me, Abner?” “Who calls to the king?” Abner replied.
I stade David vikati narod i Avenira sina Nirova govoreæi: što se ne odzivaš, Avenire? A Avenir se odazva i reèe: koji si ti što vièeš cara?
15 So David said to Abner, “You are a man, aren’t you? And who in Israel is your equal? Why then did you not protect your lord the king when one of the people came to destroy him?
A David reèe Aveniru: nijesi li ti junak? i ko je kao ti u Izrailju? Zašto nijesi èuvao cara gospodara svojega? Jer je išao jedan iz naroda da ubije gospodara tvojega.
16 This thing you have done is not good. As surely as the LORD lives, all of you deserve to die, since you did not protect your lord, the LORD’s anointed. Now look around. Where are the king’s spear and water jug that were by his head?”
Nijesi dobro radio. Tako da je živ Gospod, zaslužili ste smrt što nijeste èuvali gospodara svojega, pomazanika Gospodnjega. Eto, gledaj, gdje je koplje carevo i èaša za vodu što mu bješe èelo glave?
17 Then Saul recognized David’s voice and asked, “Is that your voice, David my son?” “It is my voice, my lord and king,” David said.
Tada Saul pozna glas Davidov, i reèe: je li to tvoj glas, sine Davide? A David reèe: moj je glas, care gospodaru!
18 And he continued, “Why is my lord pursuing his servant? What have I done? What evil is in my hand?
Još reèe: zašto gospodar moj goni slugu svojega? jer šta sam uèinio? i kako je zlo u ruci mojoj?
19 Now please, may my lord the king hear the words of his servant: If the LORD has stirred you up against me, then may He accept an offering. But if men have done it, may they be cursed in the presence of the LORD! For today they have driven me away from sharing in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods.’
Zato sada care gospodaru moj, poslušaj rijeèi sluge svojega. Ako te Gospod draži na mene, neka mu je ugodan prinos tvoj; ako li sinovi èovjeèiji, prokleti su pred Gospodom, jer me izagnaše danas da se ne držim našljedstva Gospodnjega, i rekoše: idi, služi tuðim bogovima.
20 So do not let my blood fall to the ground far from the presence of the LORD. For the king of Israel has come out to look for a flea, like one who hunts a partridge in the mountains.”
Ali sada da ne padne krv moja na zemlju daleko od oèiju Gospodnjih; jer car Izrailjev izide da traži buhu jednu, kao kad ko goni jarebicu po planini.
21 Then Saul replied, “I have sinned. Come back, David my son. I will never harm you again, because today you considered my life precious. I have played the fool and have committed a grave error!”
Tada reèe Saul: zgriješio sam; vrati se, sine Davide, neæu ti otsele èiniti zla, kad ti danas draga bi duša moja; evo, ludo sam radio i pogriješio sam veoma.
22 “Here is the king’s spear,” David answered. “Let one of the young men come over and get it.
A David odgovori i reèe: evo koplja careva; neka doðe koji od momaka i neka ga uzme.
23 May the LORD repay every man for his righteousness and faithfulness. For the LORD delivered you into my hand today, but I would not stretch out my hand against the LORD’s anointed.
A Gospod æe platiti svakome po pravdi njegovoj i po vjeri njegovoj. Jer te bješe predao Gospod danas u ruke moje, ali ne htjeh dignuti ruke svoje na pomazanika Gospodnjega.
24 As surely as I valued your life today, so may the LORD value my life and rescue me from all trouble.”
I zato, evo, kako je danas meni draga bila duša tvoja, tako neka bude draga moja duša pred Gospodom, i neka me izbavi iz svake nevolje.
25 Saul said to him, “May you be blessed, David my son. You will accomplish great things and will surely prevail.” So David went on his way, and Saul returned home.
A Saul reèe Davidu: da si blagosloven, sine moj Davide! izvršiæeš i nadvladaæeš. Tada David otide svojim putem, a Saul se vrati u svoje mjesto.
