< 1 Samuel 26 >
1 And the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, and said, Is not David waiting secretly near us in the hill of Hachilah, before the waste land?
Zífovci so prišli k Savlu v Gíbeo, rekoč: »Ali se David ne skriva na hribu Hahíla, ki je pred Ješimonom?«
2 Then Saul went down to the waste land of Ziph, taking with him three thousand of the best men of Israel, to make search for David in the waste land of Ziph.
Potem se je Savel dvignil in odšel dol k Zifski divjini in s seboj je imel tri tisoč izbranih mož iz Izraela, da Davida poiščejo v Zifski divjini.
3 And Saul put up his tents on the hill of Hachilah, which is in front of the waste land on the road. But David was in the waste land, and he saw that Saul was coming after him.
Savel je taboril na hribu Hahíla, ki je ob poti pred Ješimonom. Toda David je prebival v divjini in videl je, da je Savel prišel za njim v divjino.
4 And so David sent out watchers, and got word from them that Saul was certainly coming.
David je torej odposlal oglednike in razumel, da je Savel zagotovo prišel.
5 And David got up and came to the place where Saul's tents were: and David had a view of the place where Saul was sleeping with Abner, the son of Ner, the captain of his army: and Saul was sleeping inside the ring of carts, and the tents of the people were all round him.
David je vstal in prišel na kraj, kjer se je Savel utaboril in David je opazoval kraj, kjer sta se ulegla Savel in Abnêr, Nerov sin, poveljnik njegove vojske. Savel pa je ležal v okopu in ljudstvo je taborilo okoli njega.
6 Then David said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, Who will go down with me to the tents of Saul? And Abishai said, I will go down with you.
Potem je David odgovoril in rekel Hetejcu Ahimélehu in Cerújinemu sinu Abišáju, Joábovemu bratu, rekoč: »Kdo bo odšel z menoj dol, k Savlu v tabor?« Abišáj je rekel: »Jaz bom odšel dol s teboj.«
7 So David and Abishai came down to the army by night: and Saul was sleeping inside the ring of carts with his spear planted in the earth by his head: and Abner and the people were sleeping round him.
Tako sta David in Abišáj prišla ponoči k ljudstvu in glej, Savel je speč ležal znotraj okopa in njegova sulica zapičena v tla pri njegovem vzglavniku, toda Abnêr in ljudstvo so ležali naokoli njega.
8 Then Abishai said to David, God has given up your hater into your hands today; now let me give him one blow through to the earth with his spear, and there will be no need to give him a second.
Potem je Abišáj rekel Davidu: »Bog je ta dan izročil tvoje sovražnike v tvojo roko. Zdaj naj ga torej udarim, prosim te, s sulico celo k zemlji in ne bom ga udaril drugič.«
9 And David said to Abishai Do not put him to death; for who, without sin, may put out his hand against the man on whom the Lord has put the holy oil?
David je rekel Abišáju: »Ne uniči ga, kajti kdo lahko iztegne svojo roko zoper Gospodovega maziljenca in je brez krivde?«
10 And David said, By the living Lord, the Lord will send destruction on him; the natural day of his death will come, or he will go into the fight and come to his end.
David je nadalje rekel: » Kakor Gospod živi, Gospod ga bo udaril, ali bo prišel njegov dan, da umre, ali [pa] se bo spustil v bitko in umrl.
11 Never will my hand be stretched out against the man marked with the holy oil; but take the spear which is by his head and the vessel of water, and let us go.
Gospod me obvaruj, da bi iztegnil svojo roko zoper Gospodovega maziljenca, toda, prosim te, vzemi sedaj sulico, ki je pri njegovem vzglavniku in vrč vode ter odidiva.«
12 So David took the spear and the vessel of water from Saul's head; and they got away without any man seeing them, or being conscious of their coming, or awaking; for they were all sleeping because a deep sleep from the Lord had come on them.
Tako je David vzel sulico in vrč vode izpred Savlovega vzglavnika in spravila sta se proč in noben človek tega ni videl niti ni tega spoznal niti se zbudil, kajti vsi so zaspali, ker je nanje padlo globoko spanje od Gospoda.
13 Then David went over to the other side, and took his place on the top of a mountain some distance away, with a great space between them;
Potem je David šel preko, na drugo stran in stal na vrhu oddaljenega hriba. Med njimi je bil velik prostor
14 And crying out to the people and to Abner, the son of Ner, David said, Have you no answer to give, Abner? Then Abner said, Who is that crying out to the king?
in David je zaklical ljudstvu in Nerovemu sinu Abnêrju, rekoč: »Ne odgovarjaš, Abnêr?« Potem je Abnêr odgovoril in rekel: »Kdo si ti, ki kličeš h kralju?«
15 And David said to Abner, Are you not a man of war? is there any other like you in Israel? why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? for one of the people came in to put the king your lord to death.
David je rekel Abnêrju: » Mar nisi ti hraber mož? In kdo je v Izraelu podoben tebi? Zakaj potem nisi varoval svojega gospoda kralja? Kajti tja je prišel nekdo izmed ljudstva, da uniči tvojega gospoda kralja.
16 What you have done is not good. By the living Lord, death is the right fate for you, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the man on whom the Lord has put the holy oil. Now see, where is the king's spear, and the vessel of water which was by his head?
Ta stvar, ki si jo storil, ni dobra. Kakor živi Gospod, vredni ste umreti, ker niste varovali svojega gospodarja, Gospodovega maziljenca. In sedaj poglej, kje je kraljeva sulica in vrč vode, ki je bil pri njegovem vzglavniku.«
17 And Saul, conscious that the voice was David's, said, Is that your voice, David, my son? And David said, It is my voice, O my lord king.
Savel je prepoznal Davidov glas in rekel: » Ali je to tvoj glas, moj sin David?« David je rekel: » To je moj glas, moj gospod, oh kralj.«
18 And he said, Why does my lord go armed against his servant? what have I done? or what evil is there in me?
Rekel je: »Zakaj moj gospod tako zasleduje svojega služabnika? Kaj sem storil? Ali kakšno zlo je v moji roki?
19 Let my lord the king give ear now to the words of his servant. If it is the Lord who is moving you against me, let him take an offering: but if it is the children of men, may they be cursed before the Lord, for driving me out today and keeping me from my place in the heritage of the Lord, saying, Go, be the servant of other gods.
Zdaj te torej prosim, naj moj gospod kralj posluša besede svojega služabnika. Če te je Gospod razvnel zoper mene, naj sprejme daritev, toda če so to človeški otroci, naj bodo prekleti pred Gospodom, kajti danes so me pognali ven, pred ostajanjem v Gospodovi dediščini, rekoč: ›Pojdi, služi drugim bogovom.‹
20 Then do not let my blood be drained out on the earth away from the face of the Lord: for the king of Israel has come out to take my life, like one going after birds in the mountains.
Zdaj naj torej moja kri ne pade na tla pred Gospodovim obrazom, kajti Izraelov kralj je prišel ven, da išče bolho, kakor ko nekdo lovi jerebico v gorah.«
21 Then Saul said, I have done wrong: come back to me, David my son: I will do you no more wrong, because my life was dear to you today truly, I have been foolish and my error is very great.
Potem je Savel rekel: »Grešil sem. Vrni se, moj sin David, kajti ne bom ti več škodil, ker je bila ta dan moja duša dragocena v tvojih očeh. Glej igral sem bedaka in se silno motil.«
22 Then David said, Here is the king's spear! let one of the young men come over and get it.
David je odgovoril in rekel: »Poglej kraljevo sulico! In naj nekdo izmed mladeničev pride čez ter jo vzame.
23 And the Lord will give to every man the reward of his righteousness and his faith: because the Lord gave you into my hands today, and I would not put out my hand against the man who has been marked with the holy oil.
Gospod [naj] vsakemu možu povrne njegovo pravičnost in njegovo zvestobo, kajti Gospod te je ta dan izročil v mojo roko, toda svoje roke nisem hotel iztegniti zoper Gospodovega maziljenca.
24 And so, as your life was dear to me today, may my life be dear to the Lord, and may he make me free from all my troubles.
Glej, kakor je bilo tvoje življenje ta dan zelo cenjeno v mojih očeh, tako naj bo moje življenje zelo cenjeno v Gospodovih očeh in naj me osvobodi iz vse stiske.«
25 Then Saul said to David, May a blessing be on you, David, my son; you will do great things and without doubt you will overcome. Then David went on his way, and Saul went back to his place.
Potem je Savel rekel Davidu: »Blagoslovljen bodi ti, moj sin David. Delal boš oboje, velike stvari in vendar boš tudi prevladal.« Tako je David odšel na svojo pot in Savel se je vrnil na svoj kraj.
