1 Samuel 16
1 And Jehovah said to Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thy horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite; for I have provided me a king among his sons.
A Gospod reèe Samuilu: dokle æeš ti plakati za Saulom kad ga ja odbacih da ne caruje više nad Izrailjem? Napuni rog svoj ulja, i hodi da te pošljem k Jeseju Vitlejemcu, jer izmeðu njegovijeh sinova izabrah sebi cara.
2 And Samuel said, How shall I go? if Saul hear [it], he will kill me. And Jehovah said, Take a heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to Jehovah.
A Samuilo reèe: kako da idem? jer æe èuti Saul, pa æe me ubiti. A Gospod odgovori: uzmi sa sobom junicu iz goveda, pa reci: doðoh da prinesem žrtvu Gospodu.
3 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will tell thee what thou shalt do; and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee.
I pozovi Jeseja na žrtvu, a ja æu ti pokazati šta æeš èiniti, i pomaži mi onoga koga ti kažem.
4 And Samuel did what Jehovah said, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the city came trembling to meet him, and said, Dost thou come peaceably?
I uèini Samuilo kako mu kaza Gospod, i doðe u Vitlejem; a starješine gradske uplašivši se istrèaše preda nj, i rekoše mu: jesi li došao dobro?
5 And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice to Jehovah. Hallow yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he hallowed Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
A on reèe: dobro; došao sam da prinesem žrtvu Gospodu; osveštajte se i hodite sa mnom na žrtvu. Pa osvešta i Jeseja i sinove njegove i pozva ih na žrtvu.
6 And it came to pass when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely Jehovah's anointed is before him.
I kad doðoše vidjevši Elijava reèe: jamaèno je pred Gospodom pomazanik njegov.
7 But Jehovah said to Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him; for it is not as man seeth; for man looketh upon the outward appearance, but Jehovah looketh upon the heart.
Ali Gospod reèe Samuilu: ne gledaj na lice njegovo ni na visinu rasta njegova, jer sam ga odbacio; jer ne gledam na što èovjek gleda: èovjek gleda što je na oèima, a Gospod gleda na srce.
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither has Jehovah chosen this one.
I dozva Jesej Avinadava, i reèe mu da ide pred Samuila. A on reèe: ni toga nije izabrao Gospod.
9 Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, Neither has Jehovah chosen this one.
Potom Jesej reèe Sami da ide. A on reèe: ni toga nije izabrao Gospod.
10 And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, Jehovah has not chosen these.
Tako reèe Jesej te proðoše sedam sinova njegovijeh pred Samuila; a Samuilo reèe Jeseju: nije Gospod izabrao tijeh.
11 And Samuel said to Jesse, Are these all the young men? And he said, There is yet the youngest remaining, and behold, he is feeding the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and fetch him; for we will not sit at table till he come hither.
Potom reèe Samuilo Jeseju: jesu li ti to svi sinovi? A on reèe: ostao je još najmlaði; eno ga, pase ovce. Tada reèe Samuilo Jeseju: pošlji, te ga dovedi, jer neæemo sjedati za sto dokle on ne doðe.
12 And he sent and brought him in. And he was ruddy, and besides of a lovely countenance and beautiful appearance. And Jehovah said, Arise, anoint him; for this is he.
I posla, te ga dovede. A bijaše smeð, lijepijeh oèiju i lijepa stasa. I Gospod reèe: ustani, pomaži ga, jer je to.
13 And Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren. And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon David from that day forward. And Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
Tada Samuilo uze rog s uljem, i pomaza ga usred braæe njegove; i siðe duh Gospodnji na Davida i osta na njemu od toga dana. Potom usta Samuilo i otide u Ramu.
14 And the Spirit of Jehovah departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from Jehovah troubled him.
A duh Gospodnji otide od Saula, i uznemiravaše ga zao duh od Gospoda.
15 And Saul's servants said to him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubles thee.
I rekoše Saulu sluge njegove: gle, sada te uznemiruje zli duh Božiji.
16 Let our lord now speak; thy servants are before thee: they shall seek out a man, a skilful player on a harp; and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.
Neka gospodar naš zapovjedi slugama svojim koje stoje pred tobom, da potraže èovjeka koji zna udarati u gusle, pa kad te napadne zli duh Božji, neka udara rukom svojom, i odlakšaæe ti.
17 And Saul said to his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.
I reèe Saul slugama svojim: potražite èovjeka koji zna dobro udarati u gusle, i dovedite mi ga.
18 And one of the young men answered and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skilled in playing, and he is a valiant man and a man of war, and skilled in speech, and of good presence, and Jehovah is with him.
A jedan izmeðu sluga njegovijeh odgovori i reèe: evo, ja znam sina Jeseja Vitlejemca, koji umije dobro udarati u gusle, i hrabar je junak i ubojnik, i pametan je i lijep, i Gospod je s njim.
19 Then Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, Send me David thy son, who is with the sheep.
I Saul posla ljude k Jeseju i poruèi: pošlji mi Davida sina svojega koji je kod ovaca.
20 And Jesse took an ass with bread, and a flask of wine, and a kid, and sent [them] by David his son to Saul.
A Jesej uze magarca i hljeba i mješinu vina i jedno jare, i posla Saulu po Davidu sinu svojemu.
21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him; and he loved him greatly; and he became his armour-bearer.
I David doðe k Saulu i izide preda nj, i omilje Saulu veoma, te ga postavi da mu nosi oružje.
22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he has found favour in my sight.
Potom posla Saul k Jeseju i poruèi: neka David ostane kod mene, jer je našao milost preda mnom.
23 And it came to pass, when the [evil] spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took the harp, and played with his hand; and Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
I kad bi duh Božji napao Saula, David uzevši gusle udarao bi rukom svojom, te bi Saul odahnuo i bilo bi mu bolje, jer bi zli duh otišao od njega.
