< 1 Samuel 14 >
1 Now it came to pass one day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines, which is on the other side of yonder place. But he told not this to his father.
Један дан рече Јонатан, син Саулов, момку свом који му ношаше оружје: Хајде да идемо к стражи филистејској која је на оној страни. А оцу свом не каза ништа.
2 And Saul abode in the uttermost part of Gabaa under the pomegranate tree, which was in Magron: and the people with him were about six hundred men.
А Саул стајаше крај брда под шипком, који беше у Мигрону; и народа беше с њим око шест стотина људи.
3 And Achias the son of Achitob brother to Ichabod the son of Phinees, the son of Heli the priest of the Lord in Silo, wore the ephod. And the people knew not whither Jonathan was gone.
И Ахија син Ахитова брата Ихавода сина Финеса сина Илија свештеника Господњег у Силому ношаше оплећак. И народ не знаше да је отишао Јонатан.
4 Now there were between the ascents, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the garrison of the Philistines, rocks standing up on both sides, and steep cliffs like teeth on the one side, and on the other, the name of the one was Boses, and the name of the other was Sene:
А у кланцу којим хтеде Јонатан отићи к стражи филистејској, беху две стрмене стене, једна с једне стране а друга с друге, и једна се зваше Восес а друга Сене.
5 One rock stood out towards the north over against Machmas, and the other to the south over against Gabaa.
И једна од њих стајаше са севера према Михмасу, а друга с југа према Гаваји.
6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised, it may be the Lord will do for us, because it is easy for the Lord to save either by many, or by few.
И Јонатан рече момку који му ношаше оружје: Хајде да отидемо к стражи тих необрезаних; може бити да ће нам учинити шта Господ, јер Господу не смета избавити с множином или с малином.
7 And his armourbearer said to him: Do all that pleaseth thy mind: go whither thou wilt, and I will be with thee wheresoever thou hast a mind.
А онај што му ношаше оружје одговори му: Чини шта ти је год у срцу, иди, ево ја ћу ићи с тобом куда год хоћеш.
8 And Jonathan said: Behold we will go over to these men. And when we shall be seen by them,
А Јонатан му рече: Ево, отићи ћемо к тим људима, и показаћемо им се.
9 If they shall speak thus to us: Stay till we come to you: let us stand still in our place, and not go up to them.
Ако нам кажу: Чекајте докле дођемо к вама, тада ћемо се уставити на свом месту, и нећемо ићи к њима.
10 But if they shall say: Come up to us: let us go up, because the Lord hath delivered them into our hands, this shall be a sign unto us.
Ако ли кажу: Ходите к нама, тада ћемо отићи; јер нам их Господ предаде у руке. То ће нам бити знак.
11 So both of them discovered themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said: Behold the Hebrews come forth out of the holes wherein they were hid.
И показаше се обојица стражи филистејској; а Филистеји рекоше: Гле, излазе Јевреји из рупа у које су се сакрили.
12 And the men of the garrison spoke to Jonathan, and to his armourbearer, and said: Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armourbearer: Let us go up, follow me: for the Lord hath delivered them into the hands of Israel.
И стражари рекоше Јонатану и момку који му ношаше оружје: Ходите к нама да вам кажемо нешто. И Јонатан рече оном што му ношаше оружје: Хајде за мном, јер их предаде Господ у руке Израиљу.
13 And Jonathan went up creeping on his hands and feet, and his armourbearer after him. And some fell before Jonathan, others his armourbearer slew as he followed him.
Тако пузаше Јонатан рукама и ногама, а за њим момак што му ношаше оружје; и падаху пред Јонатаном, и убијаше их за њим онај што му ношаше оружје.
14 And the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was of about twenty men, within half an acre of land, which a yoke of oxen is wont to plough in a day.
И то би први бој, у коме поби Јонатан и момак што му ношаше оружје око двадесет људи, отприлике на по рала земље.
15 And there was a miracle in the camp, through the fields: yea and all the people of their garrison, who had gone out to plunder, were amazed, and the earth trembled: and it happened as a miracle from God.
И уђе страх у логор у пољу и у сав народ; и стража и они који беху изашли да плене препадоше се, и земља се усколеба, јер беше страх од Бога.
16 And the watchmen of Saul, who were in Gabaa of Benjamin looked, and behold a multitude overthrown, and fleeing this way and that.
А стража Саулова у Гаваји Венијаминовој опази где се мноштво узбунило и успрепадало.
17 And Saul said to the people that were with him: Look, and see who is gone from us. And when they had sought, it was found that Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there.
Тада рече Саул народу који беше с њим: Прегледајте и видите ко је отишао од нас. И кад прегледаше, гле, не беше Јонатана и момка његовог који му ношаше оружје.
18 And Saul said to Achias: Bring the ark of the Lord. (For the ark of God was there that day with the children of Israel.)
И рече Саул Ахији: Донеси ковчег Божји; јер ковчег Божји беше тада код синова Израиљевих.
19 And while Saul spoke to the priest, there arose a great uproar in the camp of the Philistines: and it increased by degrees, and was heard more clearly. And Saul said to the priest: Draw in thy hand.
А док говораше Саул свештенику, забуна у логору филистејском биваше све већа, и Саул рече свештенику: Остави.
20 Then Saul and all the people that were with him, shouted together, and they came to the place of the fight: and behold every man’s sword was turned upon his neighbour, and there was a very great slaughter.
И Саул и сав народ што беше с њим скупише се и дођоше до боја, и гле, повадили беху мачеве један на другог, и забуна беше врло велика.
21 Moreover the Hebrews that had been with the Philistines yesterday and the day before, and went up with them into the camp, returned to be with the Israelites, who were with Saul and Jonathan.
А беше с Филистејима Јевреја као пре, који иђаху с њима на војску свуда; па и они присташе уз Израиљце, који беху са Саулом и Јонатаном.
22 And all the Israelites that had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines fled, joined themselves with their countrymen in the fight. And there were with Saul about ten thousand men.
И сви Израиљци који се беху сакрили у гори Јефремовој кад чуше да беже Филистеји, наклопише се и они за њима бијући их.
23 And the Lord saved Israel that day. And the fight went on as far as Bethaven.
И избави Господ Израиља у онај дан; и бој отиде дори до Вет-Авена.
24 And the men of Israel were joined together that day; and Saul adjured the people, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat food till evening, till I be revenged of my enemies. So none of the people tasted any food:
И Израиљци се врло уморише онај дан; а Саул закле народ говорећи: Да је проклет који једе шта до вечера, да се осветим непријатељима својим. И не окуси народ ништа.
25 And all the common people came into a forest, in which there was honey upon the ground.
И сав народ оне земље дође у шуму, где беше много меда по земљи.
26 And when the people came into the forest, behold the honey dropped, but no man put his hand to his mouth. For the people feared the oath.
И кад дође народ у шуму, виде мед где тече; али нико не принесе руке к устима својим: јер се народ бојаше заклетве.
27 But Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people: and he put forth the end of the rod, which he had in his hand, and dipt it in a honeycomb: and he carried his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened.
Али Јонатан не чу кад отац његов закле народ, те пружи штап који му беше у руци, и замочи крај у саће, и примаче руку своју к устима својим, и засветлише му се очи.
28 And one of the people answering, said: Thy father hath bound the people with an oath, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat any food this day. (And the people were faint.)
А један из народа проговори и рече: Отац је твој заклео народ рекавши: Да је проклет ко би јео шта данас; стога суста народ.
29 And Jonathan said: My father hath troubled the land: you have seen yourselves that my eyes are enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey:
Тада рече Јонатан: Смео је земљу отац мој; видите како ми се засветлише очи, чим окусих мало меда.
30 How much more if the people had eaten of the prey of their enemies, which they found? had there not been made a greater slaughter among the Philistines?
А да је још народ слободно јео данас од плена непријатеља својих, који нађе! Не би ли полом филистејски био још већи?
31 So they smote that day the Philistines from Machmas to Ailon. And the people were wearied exceedingly.
И тако побише онај дан Филистеје од Михмаса до Ајалона, и народ се врло умори.
32 And falling upon the spoils, they took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people ate them with the blood.
И наклопи се народ на плен, и нахваташе оваца и волова и телаца, и поклаше их на земљи, и стаде народ јести с крвљу.
33 And they told Saul that the people had sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood. And he said: You have transgressed: roll here to me now a great stone.
И јавише Саулу говорећи: Ево народ греши Господу једући с крвљу. А он рече: Неверу учинисте; доваљајте сада к мени велик камен.
34 And Saul said: Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them to bring me every man his ox and his ram, and slay them upon this stone, and eat, and you shall not sin against the Lord in eating with the blood. So all the people brought every man his ox with him till the night: and slew them there.
Затим рече Саул: Разиђите се међу народ и реците: Доведите сваки к мени вола свог и овцу своју; и овде закољите и једите, и нећете грешити Господу једући с крвљу. И донесе сав народ, сваки свог вола својом руком оне ноћи, и онде клаше.
35 And Saul built an altar to the Lord and he then first began to build an altar to the Lord.
И начини Саул олтар Господу; то би први олтар који начини Господу.
36 And Saul said: Let us fall upon the Philistines by night, and destroy them till the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And the people said: Do all that seemeth good in thy eyes. And the priest said: Let us draw near hither unto God.
Потом рече Саул: Хајдемо за Филистејима ноћас, да их пленимо до јутра, и да их не оставимо ни једног. А они рекоше: Чини шта ти је год воља. Али свештеник рече: Да приступимо овде к Богу.
37 And Saul consulted the Lord: Shall I pursue after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not that day.
И упита Саул Бога: Хоћу ли ићи за Филистејима? Хоћеш ли их дати у руке Израиљу? Али не одговори му онај дан.
38 And Saul said: Bring hither all the corners of the people: and know, and see by whom this sin hath happened today.
Зато рече Саул: Приступите овамо сви главари народни, и тражите и видите на коме је грех данас.
39 As the Lord liveth who is the saviour of Israel, if it was done by Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. In this none of the people gainsaid him.
Јер како је жив Господ који избавља Израиља, ако буде и на Јонатану сину мом, погинуће заиста. И не одговори му нико из свега народа.
40 And he said to all Israel: Be you on one side, and I with Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people answered Saul: Do what seemeth good in thy eyes.
Потом рече свему Израиљу: Ви будите с једне стране, а ја и Јонатан, син мој, бићемо с друге стране. А народ рече Саулу: Чини шта ти је драго.
41 And Saul said to the Lord: O Lord God of Israel, give a sign, by which we may know, what the meaning is, that thou answerest not thy servant today. If this iniquity be in me, or in my son Jonathan, give a proof: or if this iniquity be in thy people, give holiness. And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped.
Тада рече Саул Господу Богу Израиљевом: Покажи правога. И обличи се Јонатан и Саул, а народ изађе прав.
42 And Saul said: Cast lots between me, and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
И рече Саул: Баците жреб за ме и за Јонатана, сина мог. И обличи се Јонатан.
43 And Saul said to Jonathan: Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said: I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod, which was in my hand, and behold I must die.
Тада рече Саул Јонатану: Кажи ми шта си учинио? И каза му Јонатан и рече: Само сам окусио мало меда накрај штапа који ми беше у руци; ево ме; хоћу ли погинути?
44 And Saul said: May God do so and so to me, and add still more: for dying thou shalt die, O Jonathan.
А Саул рече: То нека ми учини Бог и то нека дода, погинућеш, Јонатане!
45 And the people said to Saul: Shall Jonathan then die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? This must not be. As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he should not die.
Али народ рече Саулу: Зар да погине Јонатан, који је учинио ово спасење велико у Израиљу? Боже сачувај! Тако жив био Господ, неће пасти на земљу ниједна длака с главе његове, јер је с помоћу Божјом учинио то данас. И тако избави народ Јонатана, те не погибе.
46 And Saul went back, and did not pursue after the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own places.
Тада се врати Саул од Филистеја, а Филистеји отидоше у своје место.
47 And Saul having his kingdom established over Israel, fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and Edom, and the kings of Soba, and the Philistines; and whithersoever he turned himself, he overcame.
И Саул царујући над Израиљем ратоваше на све непријатеље своје, на Моавце и на синове Амонове и на Едомце и на цареве совске и на Филистеје, и куда се год обраћаше, надвлађиваше.
48 And gathering together an army, he defeated Amalec, and delivered Israel from the hand of them that spoiled them.
Скупи такође војску и поби Амалика; и избави Израиља из руку оних који га плењаху.
49 And the sons of Saul, were Jonathan, and Jessui, and Melchisua: and the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn was Merob, and the name of the younger Michol.
А Саул имаше синове: Јонатана и Исуја и Мелхисуја; а двема кћерима његовим беху имена првеници Мерава, а млађој Михала.
50 And the name of Saul’s wife, was Achinoam the daughter of Achimaas; and the name of the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, the cousin german of Saul.
А жени Сауловој беше име Ахиноама, кћи Ахимасова; а војводи његовом беше име Авенир син Нира стрица Сауловог.
51 For Cis was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner, was son of Abiel.
Јер Кис отац Саулов и Нир отац Авениров беху синови Авилови.
52 And there was a great war against the Philistines all the days of Saul. For whomsoever Saul saw to be a valiant man, and fit for war, he took him to himself.
И беше велики рат с Филистејима свега века Сауловог; и кога год виђаше Саул храброг и јунака, узимаше га к себи.
