1 Samuel 22
1 David escaped and went to the cave of Adullam. When they heard where he was his brothers and all the rest of his family went and joined him there.
David ode odande i skloni se u spilju Adulam. A kad su to čula njegova braća i sva njegova obitelj, dođoše onamo da mu se priključe.
2 Everyone who was in trouble or in debt or resentful also came to him and he became their leader. He had around four hundred men with him.
Osim toga skupiše se oko njega svi koji bijahu u nevolji, svi zaduženi, svi nezadovoljni, i on im posta vođom. A bijaše ih oko njega do četiri stotine ljudi.
3 Then David went to Mizpeh in the country of Moab. He asked the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother come and stay with you until I find out what God is planning for me.”
Odande ode David u Mispu u zemlji moapskoj i reče kralju moapskome: “Dopusti da se moj otac i moja mati sklonu kod vas dok ne vidim što će Bog učiniti sa mnom.”
4 So he left them with the king of Moab, and they stayed with the king all the time David lived in the stronghold.
I ostavi ih kod kralja moapskoga i oni ostadoše kod njega sve dok David bijaše u skrovištu.
5 But then the prophet Gad told David, “Do not stay in the stronghold. Go back to the land of Judah.” So David left and went to the forest of Hereth.
Ali prorok Gad reče Davidu: “Nemoj ostati u svome skrovištu, nego idi i zađi u zemlju Judinu.” I David ode i zađe u Heretsku šumu.
6 Saul found out that David had returned and where he was. Saul was sitting under the tamarisk tree on the hill in Gibeah. He had his spear in his hand, with all his officials surrounding him.
Šaul doznade da se pojavio David s ljudima koji bijahu s njim. Šaul je upravo bio u Gibei; sjedio je pod tamariskom na uzvišici, s kopljem u ruci, a oko njega stajali svi njegovi dvorani.
7 Saul said to them, “Listen to me, you men of Benjamin! Is the son of Jesse going to give all of you fields and vineyards and make you commanders and officers in the army?
I reče Šaul svojim dvoranima koji stajahu oko njega: “Poslušajte me, sinovi Benjaminovi! Hoće li vam i Jišajev sin svima darovati njive i vinograde? Hoće li vas sve postaviti za tisućnike i stotnike?
8 Is that why you've all plotted against me? Not a single one of you told me that my own son had made an agreement with Jesse's son. Not a single one of you has shown you cared about me, or explained to me that my son has encouraged him to try and kill me, which is what he's doing right now!”
A zašto ste se onda svi urotili protiv mene? Nema nikoga da mi dojavi kad moj sin sklapa savez s Jišajevim sinom, nema nikoga među vama da me požali i da mi otkrije kako je moj sin podjario moga slugu na me, kao što se događa danas.”
9 Doeg the Edomite, who was standing there with Saul's officers, spoke up, saying, “I saw the son of Jesse visit Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, at Nob.
Tada progovori Doeg Edomac, koji je stajao među Šaulovim dvoranima, i reče: “Ja sam vidio Jišajeva sina kad je došao u Nob k Ahimeleku, Ahitubovu sinu.
10 Ahimelech asked advice from the Lord for him and gave him food. He gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine as well.”
Ovaj je zatražio za njega savjet od Jahve i dao mu hrane i predao mu mač Filistejca Golijata.”
11 The king sent a message to summon Ahimelech the priest, son of Ahitub, and all his family, who were priests at Nob. They all came to the king.
Šaul nato zapovjedi da pozovu svećenika Ahimeleka, Ahitubova sina, i svu njegovu obitelj, svećenike u Nobu. I dođoše svi pred kralja.
12 “Now you listen, son of Ahitub,” the king shouted. “What is it, my lord?” Ahimelech asked.
Tada reče Šaul: “Čuj me, Ahitubov sine!” A on odgovori: “Evo me, gospodaru!”
13 “Why have you and the son of Jesse plotted against me? You gave him bread and a sword, and asked advice from God for him so that he could rebel against me and try and kill me, which is what he's doing right now!”
A Šaul ga upita: “Zašto ste se urotili protiv mene, ti i Jišajev sin? Ti si mu dao kruha i mač i tražio si za njega savjet od Boga da se digne protiv mene kao neprijatelj, kao što se danas događa.”
14 “Who of all your officers is as trustworthy as David, the king's son-in-law? He is in charge of your bodyguard, and highly respected in your family!” Ahimelech responded.
Ahimelek odgovori kralju: “A tko je među svim tvojim slugama ravan Davidu, tako vjeran, uz to kraljev zet, glavar tvoje tjelesne straže, čovjek koji je poštovan u tvojoj kući?
15 “And was that day the first time he asked advice from God on his behalf? Of course not! The king should not accuse me your servant or any of my family, for I didn't know anything about any of this.”
Zar sam danas prvi put tražio za njega savjet od Boga? Daleko od mene svaka druga misao! Neka kralj ništa ne okrivljuje svoga sluge i sve njegove obitelji, jer sluga njegov nije znao od svega toga ništa!”
16 “You're going to die for this!” the king declared. “You and all your family!”
Ali kralj odvrati: “Ti ćeš umrijeti, Ahimeleče, ti i sva tvoja obitelj!”
17 Then the king turned to his bodyguards standing there and ordered them, “Kill these priests of the Lord, because they're on David's side! They knew he was a fugitive and yet they didn't tell me!” But the king's guards refused to attack the priests of the Lord.
I kralj zapovjedi glasonošama koji stajahu oko njega: “Pristupite i pogubite svećenike Jahvine jer su i oni pomogli Davidu: znali su da je na bijegu, a nisu mi to dojavili.” Ali kraljevi stražari ne htjedoše dići ruke na Jahvine svećenike da ih smaknu.
18 So the king ordered Doeg, “You kill the priests!” Doeg the Edomite attacked and killed the priests, killing eighty-five men wearing the priestly ephod.
Tada kralj zapovjedi Doegu: “Pristupi ti i smakni svećenike!” Doeg Edomac pristupi i smaknu svećenike: on pogubi u onaj dan osamdeset i pet ljudi koji su nosili laneni oplećak.
19 Then he went to Nob, the town of the priests, and slaughtered its men and women, children and infants, cattle, donkeys, and sheep.
I Nob, svećenički grad, pohara oštricom mača, pobivši muškarce i žene, djecu i dojenčad, goveda, magarce i ovce.
20 But one of the sons of Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, managed to escape. His name was Abiathar, and he ran away and joined David.
Izbavio se samo jedan sin Ahimeleka, Ahitubova sina, po imenu Ebjatar i pobjegao k Davidu.
21 He told David that Saul had killed the priests of the Lord.
Ebjatar javi Davidu da je Šaul poklao Jahvine svećenike.
22 David told Abiathar, “I knew that day when Doeg the Edomite was there that he was going to tell Saul about it. It's my fault that all your family have died.
A David odvrati Ebjataru: “Ja sam već onoga dana kad ondje bijaše Doeg Edomac znao da će on zacijelo javiti to Šaulu! Ja sam kriv za živote tvoga očinskog doma.
23 But you can stay with me and you don't need to be afraid, because the man who wants to kill you wants to kill me too. I'll take good care of you.”
Ostani kod mene, ne boj se: tko bude tražio tvoj život, tražit će moj. Kod mene ćeš biti dobro čuvan.”
