Kings I 19
1 And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, to kill David.
Šaul razloži svome sinu Jonatanu i svim svojim dvoranima svoju namjeru da ubije Davida. Ali Jonatan, Šaulov sin, vrlo je volio Davida.
2 And Jonathan, Saul's son, loved David much: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul seeks to kill you: take heed to yourself therefore to-morrow morning, and hide yourself, and dwell in secret.
I Jonatan to javi Davidu ovako: “Moj otac Šaul kani te ubiti. Budi, dakle, na oprezu sutra ujutro, ostani u skrovištu i pritaji se.
3 And I will go forth, and stand near my father in the field where you shall be, and I will speak concerning you to my father; and I will see what his answer may be, and I will tell you.
A ja ću izaći i stajat ću pokraj svoga oca u polju gdje ti budeš i govorit ću za tebe sa svojim ocem. Kad saznam kako je, javit ću ti.”
4 And Jonathan spoke favourably concerning David to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king sin against your servant David, for he has not sinned against you, and his deeds [are] very good.
Jonatan pohvali Davida svome ocu Šaulu i reče mu ovako: “Neka se kralj ne ogriješi o svoga slugu Davida jer se on nije ništa ogriješio o tebe; naprotiv, ono što je radio bilo je od velike koristi za tebe.
5 And he put his life in his hand, and struck the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great deliverance; and all Israel saw, and rejoined: why then do you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?
On je stavio život svoj na kocku, ubio je Filistejca i Jahve je pribavio veliku pobjedu svemu Izraelu: vidio si i radovao se. Zašto bi se, dakle, ogriješio o nevinu krv ubijajući Davida bez razloga?”
6 And Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, saying, [As] the Lord lives, he shall not die.
Šaul posluša Jonatanove riječi i zakle se: “Živoga mi Jahve, David neće umrijeti!”
7 And Jonathan called David, and told him all these words; and Jonathan brought David in to Saul, and he was before him as in former times.
Tada Jonatan dozva Davida i kaza mu sve te riječi. Zatim Jonatan dovede Davida k Šaulu i David opet dobi službu koju je imao prije.
8 And there was again war against Saul; and David did valiantly, and fought against the Philistines, and struck them with a very great slaughter, and they fled from before him.
Kad je rat i opet buknuo, iziđe David na bojište da se bori s Filistejcima; i porazi ih tako da su pobjegli pred njim.
9 And an evil spirit from God was upon Saul, and he was resting in his house, and a spear [was] in his hand, and David was playing on the harp with his hands.
Tada zao duh Jahvin obuze Šaula: kad je sjedio u svojoj kući, s kopljem u ruci, a David rukom udarao u harfu,
10 And Saul sought to strike David with the spear; and David withdrew [suddenly] from the presence of Saul; and he drove the spear into the wall; and David retreated and escaped.
Šaul pokuša da svojim kopljem pribode Davida uza zid, ali on izmakne Šaulovu udarcu te se koplje zabode u zid. David pobježe i spasi se.
11 And it came to pass in that night, that Saul sent messengers to the house of David to watch him, in order to kill him in the morning; and Melchol David's wife told him, saying, Unless you save your life this night, to-morrow you shall be slain.
Iste noći Šaul posla glasnike da nadziru Davidovu kuću jer je htio da ubije Davida u rano jutro. Ali Davidova žena Mikala javi to Davidu govoreći: “Ako noćas ne umakneš na sigurno mjesto, sutra ćeš biti mrtav!”
12 So Melchol lets David down by the window, and he departed, and fled, and escaped.
Tada Mikala spusti Davida kroz prozor. On ode i spasi se bijegom.
13 And Melchol took images, and laid them on the bed, and she put the liver of a goat by his head, and covered them with clothes.
A Mikala uze idol, položi ga u postelju, stavi mu oko glave kozju dlaku i pokri ga pokrivačem.
14 And Saul sent messengers to take David; and they say that he is sick.
Kad je Šaul poslao glasnike da uhvate Davida, ona im reče: “Bolestan je.”
15 And he sends to David, saying, Bring him to me on the bed, that I may kill him.
Ali Šaul vrati glasnike natrag da vide Davida i zapovjedi im: “Donesite ga k meni u postelji da ga ubijem!”
16 And the messengers come, and, behold, the images [were] on the bed, and the goat's liver at his head.
A kad su glasnici ušli, gle: u postelji bješe idol, s kozjom dlakom oko glave!
17 And Saul said to Melchol, Why have you thus deceived me, and suffered my enemy to depart, and he has escaped? and Melchol said to Saul, He said, let me go, and if not, I will kill you.
Tada Šaul reče Mikali: “Zašto si me tako prevarila i pustila moga neprijatelja da pobjegne i da se spasi?” A Mikala odgovori Šaulu: “On mi je rekao: 'Pusti me da odem, ili ću te ubiti!'”
18 So David fled, and escaped, and comes to Samuel to Armathaim, and tells him all that Saul had done to him: and Samuel and David went, and lived in Navath in Rama.
Tako je David pobjegao i spasio se. I ode on k Samuelu u Ramu i javi mu sve što mu je učinio Šaul. Potom odoše on i Samuel i nastaniše se u Najotu.
19 And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David [is] in Navath in Rama.
A Šaulu javiše ovako: “Eno Davida u Najotu u Rami.”
20 And Saul sent messengers to take David, and they saw the assembly of the prophets, and Samuel stood [as] appointed over them; and the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they prophesy.
Tada Šaul posla glasnike da uhvate Davida. Kad su oni vidjeli zbor proroka u proročkom zanosu, a Samuela im na čelu, obuze Božji duh i Šaulove glasnike te i oni padoše u proročki zanos.
21 And it was told Saul, and he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied: and Saul sent again a third set of messengers, and they also prophesied.
Kad su to javili Šaulu, on posla druge glasnike, ali i oni padoše u proročki zanos. Potom Šaul posla i treće glasnike, ali i oni padoše u proročki zanos.
22 And Saul was very angry, and went himself also to Armathaim, and he comes as far as the well of the threshing floor that is in Sephi; and he asked and said, Where [are] Samuel and David? And they said, Behold, in Navath in Rama.
Tada Šaul krenu sam u Ramu i kad dođe do velikog bunara kod Sekua, zapita: “Gdje su Samuel i David?” I odgovoriše mu: “Eno ih u Najotu u Rami.”
23 And he went thence to Navath in Rama: and there came the Spirit of God upon him also, and he went on prophesying till he came to Navath in Rama.
On odmah pođe prema Najotu u Rami. Ali i njega obuze duh Božji te je išao u proročkom zanosu sve dok nije došao u Najot u Rami.
24 And he took off his clothes, and prophesied before them; and lay down naked all that day and all that night: therefore they said, [Is] Saul also amongst the prophets?
Tu i on svuče svoje haljine jer i njega obuze zanos pred Samuelom; zatim je legao gol i ostao tako cio onaj dan i svu noć. Tako je nastala uzrečica: “Zar je i Šaul među prorocima?”
