1 Samuel 9
1 Now there was a Benjamite, a powerful man, whose name was Kish son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah of Benjamin.
Torej tam je bil mož iz Benjamina, katerega ime je bilo Kiš, sin Abiéla, sinú Cerórja, sinú Behoráta, sinú Afíaha, Benjaminovec, mogočen človek moči.
2 And he had a son named Saul, choice and handsome, without equal among the Israelites—a head taller than any of the people.
Imel je sina, čigar ime je bilo Savel, izbranega in čednega mladeniča in med Izraelovimi otroki ni bilo čednejše osebe kakor on. Od njegovih ramen in navzgor je bil višji kakor katerikoli izmed ljudstva.
3 One day the donkeys of Saul’s father Kish wandered off, and Kish said to his son Saul, “Take one of the servants and go look for the donkeys.”
Oslice Savlovega očeta Kiša so se izgubile. Kiš je rekel svojemu sinu Savlu: »Vzemi torej s seboj enega izmed služabnikov in vstani, pojdi iskat oslice.«
4 So Saul passed through the hill country of Ephraim and then through the land of Shalishah, but did not find the donkeys. He and the servant went through the region of Shaalim, but they were not there. Then they went through the land of Benjamin, and still they did not find them.
Prečkal je goro Efrájim in šel skozi deželo Šalíša, toda nista jih našla. Potem sta šla skozi deželo Šaalím in tam jih ni bilo. Šel je skozi deželo Benjaminovcev, toda nista jih našla.
5 When they reached the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant, “Come, let us go back, or my father will stop worrying about the donkeys and start worrying about us.”
In ko sta prišla do dežele Cuf, je Savel rekel svojemu služabniku, ki je bil z njim: »Pridi in se vrniva, da ne bi moj oče prenehal skrbeti za oslice in bi mislil na naju.«
6 “Look,” said the servant, “in this city there is a man of God who is highly respected; everything he says surely comes to pass. Let us go there now. Perhaps he will tell us which way to go.”
Rekel mu je: »Glej torej, v tem mestu je Božji mož in ta je častitljiv mož. Vse, kar reče, se zagotovo zgodi. Pojdiva sedaj tja, morda nama on lahko pokaže pot, po kateri naj greva.«
7 “If we do go,” Saul replied, “what can we give the man? For the bread in our packs is gone, and there is no gift to take to the man of God. What do we have?”
Potem je Savel rekel svojemu služabniku: »Toda glej, če greva, kaj bova prinesla možu? Kajti kruh v najinih posodah je pošel in ni darila, da bi ga prinesla Božjemu možu. Kaj imava?«
8 The servant answered him again. “Look,” he said, “I have here in my hand a quarter shekel of silver. I will give it to the man of God, and he will tell us our way.”
Služabnik je ponovno odgovoril Savlu in rekel: »Glej, tukaj pri roki imam četrtinko šekla srebra. To bom dal Božjemu možu, da nama pove najino pot.«
9 (Formerly in Israel, a man on his way to inquire of God would say, “Come, let us go to the seer.” For the prophet of today was formerly called the seer.)
(Poprej je v Izraelu mož, ko je šel, da poizveduje od Boga, govoril tako: »Pridite in pojdimo k vidcu, « kajti kdor je sedaj imenovan prerok, je bil poprej imenovan videc.)
10 “Good,” said Saul to his servant. “Come, let us go.” So they set out for the city where the man of God was.
Potem je Savel rekel svojemu služabniku: »Dobro rečeno. Pridi, pojdiva.« Tako sta šla v mesto, kjer je bil Božji mož.
11 And as they were climbing the hill to the city, they met some young women coming out to draw water and asked, “Is the seer here?”
In ko sta šla gor, po hribu do mesta, sta našla mladenke, ki so prihajale ven, da zajamejo vodo in rekla sta jim: »Je tukaj videc?«
12 “Yes, he is ahead of you,” they answered. “Hurry now, for today he has come to the city because the people have a sacrifice on the high place.
Odgovorile so jima in rekle: »Je, glejta, pred vama je. Sedaj pohitita, kajti danes je prišel v mesto, kajti danes je klavna daritev ljudstva na visokem kraju.
13 As soon as you enter the city, you will find him before he goes up to the high place to eat. The people will not eat until he comes, because he must bless the sacrifice; after that, the guests will eat. Go up at once; you will find him.”
Takoj ko prideta v mesto, ga bosta nemudoma našla, preden gre gor na visok kraj, da jé, kajti ljudstvo ne bo jedlo, dokler on ne pride, ker on blagoslovi klavno daritev in potem tisti, ki so povabljeni, jedo. Sedaj torej pojdita gor, kajti približno ta čas ga bosta našla.«
14 So Saul and his servant went up toward the city, and as they were entering it, there was Samuel coming toward them on his way up to the high place.
Šla sta gor v mesto in ko sta prišla v mesto, glej, je Samuel prihajal ven proti njima, da bi šel gor na visok kraj.
15 Now on the day before Saul’s arrival, the LORD had revealed to Samuel,
Torej Gospod je Samuelu na uho povedal, dan poprej, preden je Savel prišel, rekoč:
16 “At this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you are to anoint him leader over My people Israel; he will save them from the hand of the Philistines. For I have looked upon My people, because their cry has come to Me.”
»Jutri okrog tega časa ti bom poslal moža iz Benjaminove dežele in ti ga boš mazilil, da bo poveljnik nad mojim ljudstvom Izraelom, da bo lahko rešil moje ljudstvo iz roke Filistejcev, kajti jaz sem pogledal na svoje ljudstvo, ker je njihov krik prišel k meni.«
17 When Samuel saw Saul, the LORD told him, “Here is the man of whom I spoke; he shall rule over My people.”
Ko je Samuel zagledal Savla, mu je Gospod rekel: »Glej mož, o katerem sem ti govoril! Ta isti bo kraljeval nad mojim ljudstvom.«
18 Saul approached Samuel in the gateway and asked, “Would you please tell me where the seer’s house is?”
Potem se je Savel približal k Samuelu v velikih vratih in rekel: »Povej mi, prosim te, kje je vidčeva hiša.«
19 “I am the seer,” Samuel replied. “Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today. And when I send you off in the morning, I will tell you all that is in your heart.
Samuel je odgovoril Savlu in rekel: »Jaz sem videc. Pojdi gor pred menoj na visok kraj, kajti danes boš jedel z menoj, jutri pa te bom pustil oditi in povedal ti bom vse, kar je v tvojem srcu.
20 As for the donkeys you lost three days ago, do not worry about them, for they have been found. And upon whom is all the desire of Israel, if not upon you and all your father’s house?”
Glede oslic, ki so bile izgubljene pred tremi dnevi, ne naravnaj svojih misli nanje, kajti najdene so. Na kom je vse hrepenenje Izraela? Ali ni na tebi in na vsej hiši tvojega očeta?«
21 Saul replied, “Am I not a Benjamite from the smallest tribe of Israel, and is not my clan the least of all the clans of Benjamin? So why would you say such a thing to me?”
Savel je odgovoril in rekel: » Ali nisem Benjaminovec, od najmanjšega izmed Izraelovih rodov? In moja družina najmanjša izmed vseh družin Benjaminovega rodu? Zakaj mi potem tako govoriš?«
22 Then Samuel took Saul and his servant, brought them into the hall, and seated them in the place of honor among those who were invited—about thirty in all.
Samuel je vzel Savla in njegovega služabnika ter ju privedel v dvorano in ju primoral sesti na najvišje mesto med tistimi, ki so bili povabljeni, katerih je bilo približno trideset oseb.
23 And Samuel said to the cook, “Bring the portion I gave you and told you to set aside.”
Samuel je rekel kuharju: »Prinesi delež, ki sem ti ga dal, od katerega sem ti rekel: ›Postavi to poleg sebe.‹«
24 So the cook picked up the leg and what was attached to it and set it before Saul. Then Samuel said, “Here is what was kept back. It was set apart for you. Eat, for it has been kept for you for this occasion, from the time I said, ‘I have invited the people.’” So Saul dined with Samuel that day.
Kuhar je vzel pleče in tisto, kar je bilo na njem in to postavil pred Savla. Samuel je rekel: »Glej to, kar je preostalo! Postavi to predse in jej, kajti za ta čas je bilo prihranjeno zate, odkar sem rekel: ›Povabil sem ljudstvo.‹« Tako je Savel tisti dan jedel s Samuelom.
25 And after they had come down from the high place into the city, Samuel spoke with Saul on the roof of his house.
Ko sta prišla dol iz visokega kraja v mesto, se je Samuel s Savlom posvetoval na vrhu hiše.
26 They got up early in the morning, and just before dawn Samuel called to Saul on the roof, “Get ready, and I will send you on your way!” So Saul arose, and both he and Samuel went outside together.
Zgodaj so vstali in pripetilo se je ob svitanju dneva, da je Samuel poklical Savla na vrhu hiše, rekoč: »Vstani, da te lahko odpošljem.« Savel je vstal in odšla sta ven, oba izmed njiju, on in Samuel.
27 As they were going down to the edge of the city, Samuel said to Saul, “Tell the servant to go on ahead of us, but you stay for a while, and I will reveal to you the word of God.” So the servant went on.
In ko sta se spuščala dol, do konca mesta, je Samuel rekel Savlu: »Zapovej služabniku, da gre naprej pred nama (in ta je šel naprej), toda ti malce postoj, da ti lahko pokažem besedo od Boga.«
