2 Samuel 1

1 After the death of Saul, David returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites and stayed in Ziklag two days.

Pripetilo se je torej, po Savlovi smrti, ko se je David vrnil iz pokola Amalečanov in je David dva dni prebival v Ciklágu

2 On the third day a man with torn clothes and dust on his head arrived from Saul’s camp. When he came to David, he fell to the ground to pay him homage.

in tretji dan se je zgodilo celo, da je, glej, mož prišel iz tabora od Savla s svojimi pretrganimi oblačili in zemlja je bila na njegovi glavi. In bilo je tako, ko je prišel k Davidu, da je padel k tlom in se globoko priklonil.

3 “Where have you come from?” David asked. “I have escaped from the Israelite camp,” he replied.

David mu je rekel: »Od kod prihajaš?« Rekel mu je: »Pobegnil sem iz tabora Izraelcev.«

4 “What was the outcome?” David asked. “Please tell me.” “The troops fled from the battle,” he replied. “Many of them fell and died. And Saul and his son Jonathan are also dead.”

David mu je rekel: »Kako je šla zadeva? Prosim te, povej mi.« Odgovoril je: »Da je ljudstvo pobegnilo iz bitke in tudi številni izmed ljudstva so padli in so mrtvi in tudi Savel in njegov sin Jonatan sta mrtva.«

5 Then David asked the young man who had brought him the report, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”

David je rekel mladeniču, ki mu je povedal: »Kako veš, da sta Savel in njegov sin Jonatan mrtva?«

6 “I happened to be on Mount Gilboa,” he replied, “and there was Saul, leaning on his spear, with the chariots and the cavalry closing in on him.

Mladenič, ki mu je povedal, je rekel: »Kakor sem se naključno znašel na gori Gilbói, glej, Savel se je naslanjal na svojo sulico in glej, bojni vozovi in konjeniki so tesno sledili za njim.«

7 When he turned around and saw me, he called out and I answered, ‘Here I am!’

Ko je pogledal za seboj, me je videl in me poklical k sebi. Odgovoril sem: »Tukaj sem.«

8 ‘Who are you?’ he asked. So I told him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’

Rekel mi je: »Kdo si?« Odgovoril sem mu: »Amálečan sem.«

9 Then he begged me, ‘Stand over me and kill me, for agony has seized me, but my life still lingers.’

Ponovno mi je rekel: »Stoj, prosim te, nad menoj in me ubij, kajti tesnoba je prišla nadme, ker je moje življenje še celo v meni.«

10 So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew that after he had fallen he could not survive. And I took the crown that was on his head and the band that was on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord.”

Tako sem stopil k njemu in ga usmrtil, ker sem bil prepričan, da potem, ko je padel, ne bi mogel živeti in vzel sem krono, ki je bila na njegovi glavi ter zapestnico, ki je bila na njegovem laktu ter ju prinesel sèm k svojemu gospodu.

11 Then David took hold of his own clothes and tore them, and all the men who were with him did the same.

Potem je David prijel svoja oblačila in jih raztrgal in prav tako vsi možje, ki so bili z njim

12 They mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Saul and his son Jonathan, and for the people of the LORD and the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.

in žalovali so, jokali in se do večera postili za Savlom in za njegovim sinom Jonatanom in za Gospodovim ljudstvom in za Izraelovo hišo, ker so padli pod mečem.

13 And David inquired of the young man who had brought him the report, “Where are you from?” “I am the son of a foreigner,” he answered. “I am an Amalekite.”

David je rekel mladeniču, ki mu je povedal: »Od kod si?« Odgovoril je: »Jaz sem sin tujca, Amálečana.«

14 So David asked him, “Why were you not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”

David mu je rekel: »Kako se nisi bal iztegniti svoje roke, da uničiš Gospodovega maziljenca?«

15 Then David summoned one of the young men and said, “Go, execute him!” So the young man struck him down, and he died.

David je poklical enega izmed mladeničev ter rekel: »Približaj se in padi nanj.« In ta ga je udaril, da je umrl.

16 For David had said to the Amalekite, “Your blood be on your own head because your own mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I killed the LORD’s anointed.’”

David mu je rekel: »Tvoja kri bodi na tvoji glavi, kajti tvoja usta so pričala zoper tebe, rekoč: ›Umoril sem Gospodovega maziljenca.‹«

17 Then David took up this lament for Saul and his son Jonathan,

David je s tem žalovanjem žaloval nad Savlom in nad njegovim sinom Jonatanom.

18 and he ordered that the sons of Judah be taught the Song of the Bow. It is written in the Book of Jashar:

(Prav tako je zaukazal, naj Judove otroke učijo uporabo loka. Glej, to je napisano v Jasherjevi knjigi.)

19 “Your glory, O Israel, lies slain on your heights. How the mighty have fallen!

»Izraelova lepota je umorjena na tvojih visokih krajih. Kako so padli mogočni!

20 Tell it not in Gath; proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, and the daughters of the uncircumcised exult.

Ne povejte tega v Gatu, ne razglašajte tega na Aškelónskih ulicah, da se ne bi filistejske hčere veselile, da ne bi hčere neobrezancev slavile.

21 O mountains of Gilboa, may you have no dew or rain, no fields yielding offerings of grain. For there the shield of the mighty was defiled, the shield of Saul, no longer anointed with oil.

Ve gore Gilbóe, naj tam ne bo nobene rose niti naj tam ne bo dežja nad vami niti nobenih polj za darovanja, kajti ščit mogočnega je podlo odvržen, Savlov ščit, kakor če ne bi bil maziljen z oljem.

22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not retreat, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.

Od krvi pobitih, od maščobe mogočnih, se Jonatanov lok ni obrnil nazaj in Savlov meč se ni vrnil prazen.

23 Saul and Jonathan, beloved and delightful in life, were not divided in death. They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.

Savel in Jonatan sta bila očarljiva in prijetna v svojih življenjih in v svoji smrti nista bila ločena. Hitrejša sta bila kakor orli, močnejša sta bila kakor levi.

24 O daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you in scarlet and luxury, who decked your garments with ornaments of gold.

Ve hčere izraelske, jokajte nad Savlom, ki vas je oblekel v škrlat, z drugimi nasladami, ki je na vaše obleke nadel ornamente iz zlata.

25 How the mighty have fallen in the thick of battle! Jonathan lies slain on your heights.

Kako so mogočni padli v sredi bitke! Oh Jonatan, umorjen si bil na svojih visokih krajih.

26 I grieve for you, Jonathan, my brother. You were delightful to me; your love to me was extraordinary, surpassing the love of women.

Žalosten sem zaradi tebe, moj brat Jonatan. Zelo prijeten si mi bil. Tvoja ljubezen do mene je bila čudovita, presegajoča ljubezen žensk.

27 How the mighty have fallen and the weapons of war have perished!”

Kako so mogočni padli in so uničena bojna orožja.«
