1 Samuel 19
1 And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan the son of Saul loved David exceedingly.
И Саул говори Јонатану сину свом и свим слугама својим да убију Давида; али Јонатан син Саулов љубљаше веома Давида.
2 And Jonathan told David, saying: Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: wherefore look to thyself, I beseech thee, in the morning, and thou shalt abide in a secret place and shalt be hid.
И јави Јонатан Давиду и рече му: Саул, отац мој, тражи да те убије; него се чувај сутра, склони се гдегод и прикриј се.
3 And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art: and I will speak of thee to my father, and whatsoever I shall see, I will tell thee.
А ја ћу изаћи и стајаћу поред оца свог у пољу где ти будеш, и говорићу о теби с оцем својим, и шта дознам јавићу ти.
4 And Jonathan spoke good things of David to Saul his father: and said to him: Sin not, O king, against thy servant, David, because he hath not sinned against thee, and his works are very good towards thee.
И Јонатан проговори за Давида Саулу оцу свом, и рече му: Да се не огреши цар о слугу свог Давида, јер се он није огрешио о тебе, него је још врло добро за те шта је чинио.
5 And he put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought great salvation for all Israel. Thou sawest it and didst rejoice. Why therefore wilt thou sin against innocent blood by killing David, who is without fault?
Јер није марио за живот свој и побио је Филистеје, и Господ учини спасење велико свему Израиљу; видео си и радовао си се; па зашто би се огрешио о крв праву и убио Давида низашта?
6 And when Saul heard this he was appeased with the words of Jonathan, and swore: As the Lord liveth he shall not be slain.
И послуша Саул Јонатана, и закле се Саул: Тако жив био Господ, неће погинути.
7 Then Jonathan called David and told him all these words: and Jonathan brought in David to Saul, and he was before him, as he had been yesterday and the day before.
Тада Јонатан дозва Давида, и каза му Јонатан све ово; и доведе Јонатан Давида к Саулу, и опет би пред њим као пре.
8 And the war began again, and David went out and fought against the Philistines, and defeated them with a great slaughter, and they fled from his face.
И наста опет рат, и Давид изађе и поби се с Филистејима, и разби их веома, те бежаше од њега.
9 And the evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul, and he sat in his house, and held a spear in his hand: and David played with his hand.
Потом зли дух Господњи нападе Саула кад сеђаше код куће и држаше копље у руци, а Давид удараше руком о гусле.
10 And Saul endeavoured to nail David to the wall with his spear. And David slipt away out of the presence of Saul: and the spear missed him, and was fastened in the wall, and David fled and escaped that night.
И Саул хтеде Давида копљем приковати за зид, али се он измаче Саулу, те копље удари у зид, а Давид побеже и избави се ону ноћ.
11 Saul therefore sent his guards to David’s house to watch him, that he might be killed in the morning. And when Michol David’s wife had told him this, saying: Unless thou save thyself this night, tomorrow thou wilt die,
А Саул посла људе ка кући Давидовој да га чувају и ујутру убију. А то јави Давиду жена његова Михала говорећи: Ако ноћас не избавиш душу своју, ујутру ћеш погинути.
12 She let him down through a window. And he went and fled away and escaped.
Тада Михала спусти Давида кроз прозор, те отиде и побеже и избави се.
13 And Michol took an image and laid it on the bed, and put a goat’s skin with the hair at the head of it, and covered it with clothes.
А Михала узе лик, и метну га у постељу, и метну му под главу узглавље од кострети, и покри га хаљином.
14 And Saul sent officers to seize David: and it was answered that he was sick.
И кад Саул посла људе да ухвате Давида, она рече: Болестан је.
15 And again Saul sent to see David, saying: Bring him to me in the bed, that he may be slain.
А Саул посла опет људе да виде Давида говорећи: Донесите ми га у постељи да га погубим.
16 And when the messengers were come in, they found an image upon the bed, and a goat’s skin at its head.
А кад дођоше послани, гле, лик у постељи и узглавље од кострети под главом му.
17 And Saul said to Michol: Why hast thou deceived me so, and let my enemy go and flee away? And Michol answered Saul: Because he said to me: Let me go, or else I will kill thee.
И рече Саул Михали: Што ме тако превари и пусти непријатеља мог да утече? А Михала рече Саулу: Он ми рече: Пусти ме, или ћу те убити.
18 But David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel in Ramatha, and told him all that Saul had done to him: and he and Samuel went and dwelt in Najoth.
Тако Давид побеже и избави се, и дође к Самуилу у Раму, и приповеди му све што му је учинио Саул. И отидоше он и Самуило, и осташе у Најоту.
19 And it was told Saul by some, saying: Behold David is in Najoth in Ramatha.
А Саулу дође глас и рекоше му: Ено Давида у Најоту у Рами.
20 So Saul sent officers to take David: and when they saw a company of prophets prophesying, and Samuel presiding over them, the spirit of the Lord came also upon them, and they likewise began to prophesy.
Тада посла Саул људе да ухвате Давида; и они видеше збор пророка где пророкују, а Самуило им старешина. И дух Господњи дође на посланике Саулове, те и они пророковаху.
21 And when this was told Saul, he sent other messengers: but they also prophesied. And again Saul sent messengers the third time: and they prophesied also. And Saul being exceedingly angry,
А кад то јавише Саулу, он посла друге посланике, али и они пророковаху; те Саул опет посла треће посланике, али и они пророковаху.
22 Went also himself to Ramatha, and came as far as the great cistern, which is in Socho, and he asked, and said: In what place are Samuel and David? And it was told him: Behold they axe in Najoth in Ramatha.
Тада сам пође у Раму, и кад дође на велики студенац који је у Сокоту, запита говорећи: Где је Самуило и Давид? И рекоше му: Ено их у Најоту у Рами.
23 And he went to Najoth in Ramatha, and the spirit of the Lord came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied till he came to Najoth in Ramatha.
И пође у Најот у Рами; али и на њега сиђе дух Божји, те идући даље пророкова докле дође у Најот у Рами.
24 And he stripped himself also of his garments, and prophesied with the rest before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and night. This gave occasion to a proverb: What! is Saul too among the prophets?
Па скиде и он хаљине своје са себе, и пророкова и он пред Самуилом, и паднувши лежаше го цео онај дан и сву ноћ. Стога се говори: Еда ли је и Саул међу пророцима?
