Kings II 1
1 And it came to pass after Saul was dead, that David returned from striking Amalec, and David abode two days in Sekelac.
Poslije Šaulove smrti David se vratio kući pobijedivši Amalečane. Dva je dana proveo u Siklagu.
2 And it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came from the camp, from the people of Saul, and his garments were tore, and earth [was] upon his head: and it came to pass when he went in to David, that he fell upon the earth, and did obeisance to him.
Trećega dana dođe neki čovjek iz Šaulova tabora, razdrtih haljina i prahom posute glave. Došavši k Davidu, baci se na zemlju i pokloni mu se.
3 And David said to him, Whence come you? and he said to him, I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.
David ga upita: “Odakle dolaziš?” A on mu odgovori: “Umakao sam iz izraelskog tabora.”
4 And David said to him, What [is] the matter? tell me. And he said, The people fled out of the battle, and many of the people have fallen and are dead, and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.
A David ga upita: “Što se dogodilo? Pripovijedaj mi!” On odvrati: “Narod je pobjegao iz boja, a mnogo je ljudi i poginulo. Mrtvi su i Šaul i njegov sin Jonatan.”
5 And David said to the young man who brought him the tidings, How know you that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
Nato David upita mladoga glasonošu: “Kako znaš da je poginuo Šaul i njegov sin Jonatan?”
6 And the young man that brought the tidings, said to him, I happened accidentally to be upon mount Gelbue; and, behold, Saul was leaning upon his spear, and, behold, the chariots and captains of horse pressed hard upon him.
A mladi glasonoša odgovori: “Slučajno sam došao na goru Gilbou i vidio Šaula kako se upro u svoje koplje, a bojna kola i konjanici natisnuli se za njim.
7 And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called me; and I said, Behold, [here am] I.
Šaul, obazrevši se, ugleda mene pa me zovnu, a ja mu se odazvah: 'Evo me!'
8 And he said to me, Who are you? and I said, I am an Amalekite.
I upita me on: 'Tko si ti?' A ja mu odgovorih: 'Amalečanin sam.'
9 And he said to me, Stand, I pray you, over me, and kill me, for a dreadful darkness has come upon me, for all my life [is] in me.
Tada mi on reče: 'Dođi ovamo k meni pa me ubij, jer me obuzeo smrtni grč, a duša je još sva u meni!'
10 So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew he would not live after he was fallen; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was upon his arm, and I have brought them hither to my lord.
Pristupih k njemu i zadadoh mu smrtni udarac, jer sam znao da neće preživjeti nakon pada. Zatim uzeh kraljevski znak koji mu bijaše na glavi i narukvicu koju imaše na ruci i, evo, donesoh to svome gospodaru.”
11 And David laid hold of his garments, and tore them; and all the men who were with him tore their garments.
Tada David zgrabi svoje haljine i razdrije ih, a tako i svi ljudi koji bijahu s njim.
12 And they lamented, and wept, and fasted till evening, for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Juda, and for the house of Israel, because they were struck with the sword.
I naricali su, plakali i postili do večera za Šaulom i za njegovim sinom Jonatanom, za Jahvinim narodom i za domom Izraelovim što izginuše od mača.
13 And David said to the young man who brought the tidings to him, Whence are you? and he said, I am the son of an Amalekite sojourner.
Potom David upita mladoga glasonošu: “Odakle si ti?” A on odgovori: “Ja sam sin jednoga došljaka, Amalečanina.”
14 And David said to him, How was it you were not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the anointed of the Lord?
Tada mu reče David: “Kako se nisi bojao dići ruku da ubiješ pomazanika Jahvina?”
15 And David called one of his young men, and said, Go and fall upon him: and he struck him, and he died.
I dozva David jednoga od momaka i zapovjedi mu: “Dođi ovamo i smakni ga!” Udari ga momak i on umrije.
16 And David said to him, Your blood [be] upon your own head; for your mouth has testified against you, saying, I have slain the anointed of the Lord.
A David mu još doviknu: “Tvoja krv na tvoju glavu! Tvoja su usta posvjedočila protiv tebe kad si rekao: 'Ja sam ubio pomazanika Jahvina.'”
17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son.
Tada David zapjeva ovu tužaljku za Šaulom i za njegovim sinom Jonatanom.
18 And he gave orders to teach it the sons of Juda: behold, it is written in the book of Right.
Zapisana je u Knjizi Pravednikovoj da je uče sinovi Judini. David reče:
19 Set up a pillar, O Israel, for the slain that died upon your high places: how are the mighty fallen!
“Oh, kako ti slava pade, Izraele, izginuše div-junaci na tvom visu!
20 Tell it not in Geth, and tell it not as glad tidings in the streets of Ascalon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
O porazu vi u Gatu ne pričajte, aškelonskim ulicama ne glasite, da se kćeri ne vesele filistejske, mlade žene da ne kliču nevjerničke.
21 You mountains of Gelbue, let not dew no rain descend upon you, nor fields of first fruits [be upon you], for there the shield of the mighty ones has been grievously assailed; the shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.
O Gilbojske gore klete, rosa na vas ne padala nit vas kiša s neba prala! Vaša polja ne vraćala rod za sjeme, jer kod vas je osramoćen štit junaka! Štit Šaulov nije bio uljem mazan,
22 From the blood of the slain, and from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan returned not empty; and the sword of Saul turned not back empty.
nego krvlju ranjenika, mašću palih! Luk Jonate nikad nije promašio, mač Šaulov nikad bezuspješan bio!
23 Saul and Jonathan, the beloved and the beautiful, were not divided: comely [were they] in their life, and in their death they were not divided: [they were] swifter than eagles, and they were stronger than lions.
Šaul i Jonata, ljupki, ponositi, ni živi se ne rastaše, ni u smrti! Od orlova bjehu brži, od lavova snagom jači!
24 Daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you with scarlet together with your adorning, who added golden ornaments to your apparel.
Za Šaulom sad plačite, Izraelke, jer je u kras i u grimiz vas odijevo! Uz to zlatan nakit on je na ruho vam pričvršćivo.
25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, even the slain ones upon your high places!
Usred boja poginuše div-junaci! Smrt me tvoja, Jonatane, ožalosti!
26 I am grieved for you, my brother Jonathan; you were very lovely to me; your love to me was wonderful beyond the love of women.
Žao mi je tebe, brate, Jonatane! Kako li mi drag bijaše ti veoma! Ljubav tvoja bješe meni još od ženske čudesnija.
27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
Oh, kako su izginuli div-junaci, i oružje bojno kako skršeno je!”
