1 Samuel 18
1 Now after David's talk with Saul was ended, the soul of Jonathan was joined with the soul of David, and David became as dear to him as his very life.
И кад сврши разговор са Саулом, душа Јонатанова приону за душу Давидову, и Јонатан га запази као своју душу.
2 And that day Saul took David and would not let him go back to his father's house.
И узе га Саул тај дан, и не даде му да се врати кући оца свог.
3 Then Jonathan and David made an agreement together, because of Jonathan's love for David.
И Јонатан учини веру с Давидом, јер га љубљаше као своју душу.
4 And Jonathan took off the robe he had on and gave it to David, with all his military dress, even to his sword and his bow and the band round his body.
И скиде Јонатан са себе плашт, који ношаше, и даде га Давиду, и одело своје и мач свој и лук свој и појас свој.
5 And David went wherever Saul sent him, and did wisely: and Saul put him at the head of his men of war, and this was pleasing to all the people as well as to Saul's servants.
И иђаше Давид на шта га год Саул пошиљаше, и беше срећан, и постави га Саул над војницима, и омиле свему народу, па и слугама Сауловим.
6 Now on their way, when David came back after the destruction of the Philistine, the women came out of all the towns of Israel, with songs and dances, meeting David with melody and joy and instruments of music.
А кад се враћаху, и кад се Давид враћаше убивши Филистејина, излазише жене из сваког града Израиљевог певајући и играјући на сусрет цару Саулу, с бубњевима и с весељем и гуслама.
7 And the women, answering one another in their song, said, Saul has put to death his thousands and David his tens of thousands.
И отпевајући жене једне другима уза свирке говораху: Саул згуби своју хиљаду, али Давид својих десет хиљада.
8 And Saul was very angry and this saying was unpleasing to him; and he said, They have given David credit for tens of thousands, and to me for only thousands: what more is there for him but the kingdom?
И разгневи се Саул врло, и не бише му по вољи те речи, и рече: Давиду дадоше десет хиљада, а мени дадоше хиљаду; још му само царство треба.
9 And from that day Saul was looking with envy on David.
И од тог дана Саул гледаше попреко Давида.
10 Now on the day after, an evil spirit from God came on Saul with great force and he was acting like a prophet among the men of his house, while David was making music for him, as he did day by day: and Saul had his spear in his hand.
А сутрадан нападе Саула зли дух Божји, те пророковаше у кући, а Давид му удараше руком својом у гусле као пре: а Саулу у руци беше копље.
11 And Saul, balancing the spear in his hand, said, I will give David a blow, pinning him to the wall. And David got away from him twice.
И Саул баци копље говорећи: Да прикујем Давида за зид. Али му се Давид измаче два пута.
12 And Saul went in fear of David, because the Lord was with David and had gone away from Saul.
И Саула беше страх од Давида, јер Господ беше с њим, а од Саула беше одступио.
13 So Saul sent him away, and made him a captain over a thousand; and he went about his business before the people.
Зато га уклони Саул од себе, и постави га хиљадником; и он одлажаше и долажаше пред народом.
14 And in all his undertakings David did wisely; and the Lord was with him.
И Давид беше срећан у свему што чињаше, јер Господ беше с њим.
15 And when Saul saw how wisely he did, he was in fear of him.
А Саул видећи да је веома срећан, бојаше га се.
16 But David was loved by all Israel and Judah, for he went out and came in before them.
А сав Израиљ и Јуда љубљаше Давида, јер он одлажаше и долажаше пред њима.
17 And Saul said to David, Here is my oldest daughter Merab, whom I will give you for your wife: only be strong for me, fighting in the Lord's wars. For Saul said, Let it not be through me that his fate comes to him, but through the Philistines.
И рече Саул Давиду: Ево, кћер своју старију Мераву даћу ти за жену, само ми буди храбар и води ратове Господње. Јер Саул говораше: Нећу да се дигне моја рука на њ, него филистејска рука нека се дигне на њ.
18 And David said to Saul, Who am I, and what is my father's family in Israel, that I am to be son-in-law to the king?
А Давид рече Саулу: Ко сам ја и какав је живот мој или дом оца мог у Израиљу, да будем зет царев?
19 But when the time came to give Merab, Saul's daughter, to David, she was given to Adriel of Meholath.
А кад дође време да Мераву, кћер Саулову, даду Давиду, дадоше је Адрилу Меолаћанину за жену.
20 And Saul's daughter Michal was in love with David: and Saul had word of it and was pleased.
Али Давида љубљаше Михала, кћи Саулова; а кад то јавише Саулу, би му по вољи.
21 And Saul said, I will give her to him, so that she may be a cause of danger to him, and so that the hands of the Philistines may be against him. So Saul said to David, Today you are to become my son-in-law for the second time.
И рече Саул: Даћу му је да му буде замка и да се диже на њ рука филистејска. А Давиду рече Саул: Бићеш ми данас зет с другом.
22 And Saul gave his servants orders saying, Have talk with David secretly and say to him, See how the king has delight in you, and how you are loved by all his servants: then be the king's son-in-law.
И заповеди Саул слугама својим: Реците Давиду тајно и говорите: Гле, омилео си цару, и све слуге његове љубе те; буди сада зет царев.
23 And Saul's servants said these things to David. And David said, Does it seem to you a small thing to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, of no great name?
И слуге Саулове рекоше те речи Давиду, а Давид рече: Мислите ли да је лако бити зет царев? Та ја сам сиромах и мали човек.
24 And the servants of Saul gave him an account of what David had said.
И Саулу јавише ово слуге његове говорећи: Овако рече Давид.
25 And Saul said, Then say to David, The king has no desire for any bride-price, but only for the private parts of a hundred Philistines so that the king may get the better of his haters. But it was in Saul's mind that David might come to his end by the hands of the Philistines.
А Саул рече: Овако реците Давиду: Не тражи цар уздарја, него сто окрајака филистејских, да се цар освети својим непријатељима. А Саул мишљаше како би Давид пао у руке Филистејима.
26 And when his servants said these words to David, he was well pleased to be the son-in-law of the king. And the days were still not past.
И слуге његове казаше Давиду те речи, и Давиду би по вољи да постане царев зет. И време се још не наврши.
27 So David and his men got up and went, and put to death two hundred of the Philistines; and David took their private parts and gave the full number of them to the king, so that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for his wife.
А Давид уста и отиде са својим људима, и поби двеста Филистеја. И донесе Давид окрајке њихове, и дадоше их на број цару да би постао царев зет. И Саул му даде за жену Михалу кћер своју.
28 And it was clear to Saul that the Lord was with David; and he was loved by all Israel.
И Саул виде и позна да је Господ са Давидом; и Михала кћи Саулова љубљаше га.
29 And Saul's fear of David became all the greater, and he went on hating him, day by day.
А Саул се још већма побоја Давида; и беше Саул једнако непријатељ Давиду.
30 Then the rulers of the Philistines went out to war: and whenever they went out, David did more wisely than all the other servants of Saul, so that his name became greatly honoured.
А кнезови филистејски удараху; и кад год удараху, Давид беше срећнији од свих слуга Саулових, и име се његово врло прослави.
