< 1 Samuel 14 >
1 Now one day Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man who was with him, looking after his arms, Come, let us go over to the Philistine force over there. But he said nothing to his father.
Pripetilo se je torej na dan, ko je Savlov sin Jonatan rekel mladeniču, ki je nosil njegovo bojno opremo: »Pridi in pojdiva preko, k filistejski garniziji, ki je na drugi strani.« Toda ni povedal svojemu očetu.
2 And Saul was still waiting in the farthest part of Geba, under the fruit-tree in Migron: there were about six hundred men with him;
Savel je sedel na najbolj oddaljenem delu Gíbee, pod granatovcem, ki je v Migrónu in ljudstva, ki je bilo z njim, je bilo približno šeststo mož.
3 And Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, brother of Ichabod, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of the Lord in Shiloh, who had the ephod. And the people had no idea that Jonathan had gone.
Ahíja, sin Ahitúba, Ikabódov brat, sinú Pinhása, sinú Élija, Gospodovega duhovnika v Šilu, je nosil efód. Ljudstvo pa ni vedelo, da je Jonatan odšel.
4 Now between the narrow roads over the mountains by which Jonathan was making his way to the Philistines' forces, there was a sharp overhanging rock on one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: one was named Bozez and the other Seneh.
Med prehodi, ob katerih je Jonatan iskal, da bi šel preko k filistejski garniziji, je bila ostra skala na eni strani in ostra skala na drugi strani. Ime ene je bilo Bocéc, ime druge pa Sene.
5 The one rock went up on the north in front of Michmash and the other on the south in front of Geba.
Sprednji del ene je bil obrnjen proti severu, nasproti Mihmášu in druge proti jugu, nasproti Gíbei.
6 And Jonathan said to his young servant who had his arms, Come, let us go over to the armies of these men who have no circumcision: it may be that the Lord will give us help, for there is no limit to his power; the Lord is able to give salvation by a great army or by a small band.
Jonatan je rekel mladeniču, ki je nosil njegovo bojno opremo: »Pridi in pojdiva preko, h garniziji teh neobrezancev. Morda bo Gospod delal za naju, kajti ni omejitve Gospodu, da reši po mnogih ali po peščici.«
7 And his servant said to him, Do whatever is in your mind: see, I am with you in every impulse of your heart.
Njegov nosilec bojne opreme mu je rekel: »Stori vse, kar je v tvojem srcu. Obrni se, glej, jaz sem s teboj glede na tvoje srce.«
8 Then Jonathan said, Now we will go over to these men and let them see us.
Potem je Jonatan rekel: »Glej, šla bova preko, k tem možem in se jim bova odkrila.
9 If they say to us, Keep quiet where you are till we come to you; then we will keep our places and not go up to them.
Če nama rečejo: ›Ostanita, dokler ne pridemo do vaju, ‹ potem bova mirno stala na svojem kraju in ne bova šla gor k njim.
10 But if they say, Come up to us; then we will go up, for the Lord has given them into our hands: and this will be the sign to us.
Toda če rečejo tako: ›Pridita gor k nam, ‹ potem bova šla gor, kajti Gospod jih je izročil v najino roko in to nama bo za znamenje.«
11 And they let the Philistine force see the two of them: and the Philistines said, Look! the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have taken cover.
Oba izmed njiju sta se odkrila garniziji Filistejcev. Filistejci so rekli: »Poglejte, Hebrejci prihajajo iz lukenj, kamor so se skrili.«
12 And the armed men of the force gave Jonathan and his servant their answer, saying, Come up here to us, and we will let you see something. Then Jonathan said to his servant, Come up after me: for the Lord has given them up into the hands of Israel.
Možje iz garnizije so Jonatanu in njegovemu nosilcu bojne opreme odgovorili ter rekli: »Pridita gor k nam in pokazali vama bomo stvar.« Jonatan je rekel svojemu nosilcu bojne opreme: »Pridi gor za menoj, kajti Gospod jih je izročil v Izraelovo roko.«
13 And Jonathan went up, gripping with his hands and his feet, his servant going up after him; and the Philistines gave way before Jonathan when he made an attack on them, and his servant put them to death after him.
Jonatan je plezal gor po svojih rokah in po svojih stopalih in njegov nosilec bojne opreme za njim in padali so pred Jonatanom. Njegov nosilec bojne opreme pa jih je pobijal za njim.
14 And at their first attack, Jonathan and his servant put to the sword about twenty men, all inside the space of half an acre of land.
Ta prvi pokol, ki sta ga naredila Jonatan in njegov nosilec bojne opreme, je zajel okrog dvajset mož, kakor bi bilo znotraj pol orala dežele, ki bi jo lahko preoral jarem volov.
15 And there was great fear in the tents and in the field and among all the men of the armed force, and the attackers were shaking with fear; even the earth was moved with a great shaking and there was a fear as from God.
V vojski na polju in med vsem ljudstvom je bilo trepetanje. Garnizija in plenilci, tudi oni so trepetali in zemlja se je tresla. Tako je bilo zelo veliko trepetanje.
16 And the watchmen of Saul, looking out from Geba in the land of Benjamin, saw all the army flowing away and running here and there.
Savlovi stražarji v Benjaminovi Gíbei so pogledali in glej, množica se je razblinila in nadaljevali so s podiranjem drug drugega.
17 Then Saul said to the people who were with him, Let everyone be numbered and let us see who has gone from us. And when they had been numbered, it was seen that Jonathan and his servant were not there.
Potem je Savel rekel ljudstvu, ki je bilo z njim: »Preštejte torej in poglejte, kdo je odšel od nas.« Ko so prešteli, glej, Jonatan in njegov nosilec bojne opreme nista bila tam.
18 And Saul said to Ahijah, Let the ephod come here. For he went before Israel with the ephod at that time.
Savel je rekel Ahíju: »Prinesi sèm Božjo skrinjo.« Kajti Božja skrinja je bila ob tistem času z Izraelovimi otroki.
19 Now while Saul was talking to the priest, the noise in the tents of the Philistines became louder and louder; and Saul said to the priest, Take back your hand.
Pripetilo se je, medtem ko je Savel govoril z duhovnikom, da se je hrup, ki je bil v vojski Filistejcev, nadaljeval in naraščal in Savel je rekel duhovniku: »Umakni svojo roko.«
20 And Saul and all the people with him came together and went forward to the fight: and every man's sword was turned against the man at his side, and there was a very great noise.
Savel ter vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, so se zbrali skupaj in prišli k bitki. Glej, meč vsakega moža je bil proti njegovemu tovarišu in tam je bila zelo velika zmeda.
21 Then the Hebrews who had been with the Philistines for some time, and had gone up with them to their tents, turning round were joined to those who were with Saul and Jonathan.
Pa tudi Hebrejci, ki so bili pred tem časom s Filistejci, ki so iz okoliške dežele odšli z njimi gor v tabor, celo ti so se prav tako obrnili, da bi bili z Izraelci, ki so bili s Savlom in Jonatanom.
22 And all the men of Israel who had taken cover in the hill-country of Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines had been put to flight, went after them, attacking them.
Podobno so tudi vsi Izraelovi možje, ki so se skrili na gori Efrájim, ko so slišali, da so Filistejci zbežali, celo oni so sledili tik za njimi v bitko.
23 So the Lord made Israel safe that day: and the fight went over to Beth-aven.
Tako je Gospod tisti dan rešil Izraela. Bitka je prešla preko k Bet Avenu.
24 And all the people were with Saul, about twenty thousand men, and the fight was general through all the hill-country of Ephraim; but Saul made a great error that day, by putting the people under an oath, saying, Let that man be cursed who takes food before evening comes and I have given punishment to those who are against me. So the people had not a taste of food.
Izraelovi možje so bili ta dan užaloščeni, kajti Savel je ljudstvo zaprisegel, rekoč: »Preklet naj bo mož, ki poje kakršnokoli hrano do večera, da bom lahko maščevan na svojih sovražnikih.« Tako nihče izmed ljudstva ni pokusil nobene hrane.
25 And there was honey on the face of the field, and all the people came to the honey, the bees having gone from it;
Vsi tisti iz dežele so prišli do gozda in tam je bil na tleh med.
26 But not a man put his hand to his mouth for fear of the curse.
Ko je ljudstvo prišlo v gozd, glej, je kapljal med, toda noben mož ni iztegnil svoje roke k svojim ustom, kajti ljudstvo se je balo prisege.
27 But Jonathan, having no knowledge of the oath his father had put on the people, stretching out the rod which was in his hand, put the end of it in the honey, and put it to his mouth; then his eyes were made bright.
Toda Jonatan ni slišal, ko je njegov oče ljudstvo obremenil s prisego. Zato je iztegnil konec palice, ki je bila v njegovi roki in jo omočil v satovju in svojo roko nesel k ustom in njegove oči so bile razsvetljene.
28 Then one of the people said to him, Your father put the people under an oath, saying, Let that man be cursed who takes any food this day. And the people were feeble, needing food.
Potem je odgovoril eden izmed ljudstva in rekel: »Tvoj oče je s prisego strogo obremenil ljudstvo, rekoč: ›Preklet bodi človek, ki danes poje kakršnokoli hrano.‹« In ljudstvo je bilo slabotno.
29 Then Jonathan said, My father has made trouble come on the land: now see how bright my eyes have become because I have taken a little of this honey.
Potem je Jonatan rekel: »Moj oče je vznemiril deželo. Poglej, prosim te, kako so bile moje oči razsvetljene, ker sem okusil malo od tega medu.
30 How much more if the people had freely taken their food from the goods of those who were fighting against them! would there not have been much greater destruction among the Philistines?
Kako mnogo bolj, če bi morda ljudstvo danes prosto jedlo od plena svojih sovražnikov, ki so ga našli? Kajti ali ne bi bil sedaj veliko večji pokol med Filistejci?«
31 That day they overcame the Philistines from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were feeble from need of food.
Ta dan so udarili Filistejce od Mihmáša do Ajalóna, ljudstvo pa je bilo zelo slabotno.
32 And rushing at the goods taken in the fight, the people took oxen and sheep and young oxen, and put them to death there on the earth, and had a meal, taking the flesh with the blood in it.
In ljudstvo se je vrglo na plen in vzelo ovce, vole in teleta in zaklali so jih na tleh. Ljudstvo jih je jedlo s krvjo.
33 Then it was said to Saul, See, the people are sinning against the Lord, taking the blood with the flesh. And he said to those who gave him the news, Now let a great stone be rolled to me here.
Potem so povedali Savlu, rekoč: »Glej, ljudstvo greši zoper Gospoda v tem, da jedo s krvjo.« Rekel je: »Pregrešili ste se. Zavalite k meni ta dan velik kamen.«
34 And Saul said, Go about among the people and say to them, Let every man come here to me with his ox and his sheep, and put them to death here, and take his meal: do no sin against the Lord by taking the blood with the flesh. So all the people took their oxen with them that night and put them to death there.
Savel je rekel: »Razpršite se med ljudstvo in jim recite: ›Privedite mi sèm vsak človek svojega vola in vsak človek svojo ovco in zakoljite jih tukaj in jejte in ne grešite zoper Gospoda, v tem, da bi jedli s krvjo.‹« Vse ljudstvo je to noč privedlo, vsak človek svojega vola s seboj in so jih tam zaklali.
35 And Saul put up an altar to the Lord: this was the first altar which he put up to the Lord.
Savel je zgradil oltar Gospodu. Ta isti je bil prvi oltar, ki ga je zgradil Gospodu.
36 And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, attacking them till the morning, till there is not a man of them living. And they said, Do whatever seems right to you. Then the priest said, Let us come near to God.
Savel je rekel: »Pojdimo ponoči dol za Filistejci in jih plenimo do jutranje svetlobe in ne pustimo nobenega moža od njih.« Rekli so: »Stôri, karkoli se ti zdi dobro.« Potem je rekel duhovniku: »Približajmo se sèm k Bogu.«
37 And Saul, desiring directions from God, said, Am I to go down after the Philistines? will you give them up into the hands of Israel? But he gave him no answer that day.
Savel je vprašal za nasvet od Boga: »Ali naj grem dol za Filistejci? Ali jih boš izročil v Izraelovo roko?« Toda tisti dan mu ni odgovoril.
38 And Saul said, Come near, all you chiefs of the people, and let us get word from God and see in whom is this sin today.
Savel je rekel: »Približajte se sèm, vsi vodje ljudstva in vedite in poglejte, v čem je bil ta greh ta dan.
39 For, by the living Lord, the saviour of Israel, even if the sinner is Jonathan, my son, death will certainly be his fate. But not a man among all the people gave him any answer.
Kajti kakor živi Gospod, ki rešuje Izrael, čeprav bi bil ta na mojem sinu Jonatanu, bo on zagotovo umrl.« Toda tam ni bilo moža izmed ljudstva, da bi mu odgovoril.
40 Then he said to all Israel, You be on one side, and I with Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do whatever seems good to you.
Potem je vsemu Izraelu rekel: »Vi bodite na eni strani, jaz in moj sin Jonatan pa bova na drugi strani.« Ljudstvo je Savlu reklo: »Stori, kar se ti zdi dobro.«
41 Then Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel, Why have you not given me an answer today? If the sin is in me or in Jonathan my son, O Lord God of Israel, give Urim, and if it is in your people Israel, give Thummim. And by the decision of the Lord, Saul and Jonathan were marked out, and the people went free.
Zato je Savel rekel Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu: »Daj popoln žreb.« Zajeta sta bila Savel in Jonatan, toda ljudstvo je bilo izločeno.
42 And Saul said, Give your decision between my son Jonathan and me. And Jonathan was taken.
Savel je rekel: »Vrzite žrebe med menoj in mojim sinom Jonatanom.« In izbran je bil Jonatan.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, Give me an account of what you have done. And Jonathan gave him the story and said, Certainly I took a little honey on the end of my rod; and now death is to be my fate.
Potem je Savel rekel Jonatanu: »Povej mi kaj si storil.« Jonatan mu je povedal in rekel: »Samo pokusil sem malo medu s koncem palice, ki je bila v moji roki in glej, moram umreti.«
44 And Saul said, May God's punishment be on me if death is not your fate, Jonathan.
Savel je odgovoril: »Bog stori tako in še več, kajti zagotovo boš umrl, Jonatan.«
45 And the people said to Saul, Is death to come to Jonathan, the worker of this great salvation for Israel? Let it not be so: by the living Lord, not one hair of his head is to be touched, for he has been working with God today. So the people kept Jonathan from death.
Ljudstvo pa je reklo Savlu: »Ali naj Jonatan umre, ki je izvršil to veliko rešitev duš v Izraelu? Bog ne daj. Kakor Gospod živi, ne bo niti en las iz njegove glave padel na tla, kajti ta dan je delal z Bogom.« Tako je ljudstvo rešilo Jonatana, da ni umrl.
46 Then Saul, turning back, went after the Philistines no longer: and the Philistines went back to their place.
Potem je Savel odšel gor od sledenja Filistejcem in Filistejci so odšli k svojemu lastnemu kraju.
47 Now when Saul had taken his place as ruler of Israel, he made war on those who were against him on every side, Moab and the Ammonites and Edom and the kings of Zobah and the Philistines: and whichever way he went, he overcame them.
Tako je Savel vzel kraljestvo nad Izraelom in se boril zoper vse svoje sovražnike na vsaki strani, zoper Moáb, zoper Amónove otroke, zoper Edóm, zoper kralje Cobe in zoper Filistejce in h komurkoli se je obrnil, jim je povzročal skrbi.
48 And he did great things, and overcame the Amalekites, and made Israel safe from the hands of their attackers.
Zbral je vojsko, udaril Amalečane in Izraela osvobodil iz rok tistih, ki so jih plenili.
49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan and Ishvi and Malchi-shua; and these are the names of his daughters: the older was named Merab and the younger Michal;
Torej Savlovi sinovi so bili Jonatan, Jišví in Malkišúa. Imena njegovih dveh hčera sta bili: ime prvorojene Merába in ime mlajše Mihála.
50 The name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz; the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, brother of Saul's father.
Ime Savlove žene je bilo Ahinóam, Ahimáacova hči. Ime poveljnika njegove vojske je bilo Abnêr, sin Savlovega strica Nera.
51 Kish, the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abner, were sons of Abiel.
Kiš je bil Savlov oče in Abnêrjev oče Ner je bil Abiélov sin.
52 All through the life of Saul there was bitter war against the Philistines; and whenever Saul saw any strong man or any good fighting man, he kept him near himself.
In tam je bila silna vojna zoper Filistejce vse Savlove dni in ko je Savel zagledal kateregakoli močnega moža ali kateregakoli hrabrega moža, ga je vzel k sebi.
