1 Samuel 11
1 Then Nahash the Ammonite came vp, and besieged Iabesh Gilead: and all the men of Iabesh saide vnto Nahash, Make a couenant with vs, and we will be thy seruants.
Potem je prišel gor Amónec Naháš in se utaboril zoper Jabéš Gileád. Vsi možje Jabéša so rekli Nahášu: »Skleni zavezo z nami in mi ti bomo služili.«
2 And Nahash ye Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a couenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eies, and bring that shame vpon all Israel.
Amónec Naháš jim je odgovoril: »Pod tem pogojem bom sklenil zavezo z vami, da vam lahko iztaknem vsa vaša desna očesa in to položim za grajo nad ves Izrael.«
3 To whome the Elders of Iabesh said, Giue vs seuen daies respet, that we may sende messengers vnto all the coastes of Israel: and then if no man deliuer vs, we will come out to thee.
Starešine iz Jabéša so mu rekli: »Daj nam sedem dni predaha, da lahko odpošljemo poslance v vse Izraelove pokrajine, in potem, če ne bo nobenega človeka, da nas reši, bomo prišli ven k tebi.«
4 Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and tolde these tidings in the eares of the people: and all the people lift vp their voices and wept.
Potem sta poslanca prišla v Savlovo Gíbeo in v ušesa ljudstva povedala novice in vse ljudstvo je povzdignilo svoje glasove ter zajokalo.
5 And behold, Saul came following the cattell out of the fielde, and Saul saide, What aileth this people, that they weepe? And they tolde him the tidings of the men of Iabesh.
Glej, Savel je prišel za čredo iz polja in Savel je rekel: »Kaj pesti ljudstvo, da jokajo?« Povedali so mu novice od ljudi iz Jabéša.
6 Then the Spirit of God came vpon Saul, when he heard those tidings, and he was exceeding angrie,
Božji Duh je prišel nad Savla, ko je slišal tiste novice in njegova jeza je bila silno vneta.
7 And tooke a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coastes of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoeuer commeth not foorth after Saul, and after Samuel, so shall his oxen be serued. And the feare of the Lord fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
Snel je jarem iz volov in ju razsekal na koščke in le-te poslal po vseh Izraelovih pokrajinah, po rokah poslancev, rekoč: »Kdorkoli ne pride naprej za Savlom in Samuelom, bo tako storjeno njegovim volom.« Gospodov strah je padel na ljudstvo in prišli so ven soglasno.
8 And when he nombred them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundreth thousande men: and the men of Iudah thirtie thousand.
Ko jih je preštel v Bezeku, je bilo Izraelovih otrok tristo tisoč in Judovih mož trideset tisoč.
9 Then they saide vnto the messengers that came, So say vnto the men of Iabesh Gilead, To morowe by then the sunne be hote, ye shall haue helpe. And the messengers came and shewed it to the men of Iabesh, which were glad.
Poslancem, ki so prišli, so povedali: »Tako boste rekli možem iz Jabéš Gileáda: ›Jutri, ob času, ko sonce postane vroče, boste imeli pomoč.‹« Poslanci so prišli in to pokazali možem iz Jabéša in bili so veseli.
10 Therefore the men of Iabesh sayde, To morowe we will come out vnto you, and yee shall doe with vs all that pleaseth you.
Zato so možje iz Jabéša rekli: »Jutri bomo prišli ven k vam in z nami boste lahko storili vse, kar se vam zdi dobro.«
11 And when the morowe was come, Saul put the people in three bandes, and they came in vpon the hoste in the morning watche, and slewe the Ammonites vntill the heate of the day: and they that remained, were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
Naslednjega dne je bilo to tako, da je Savel ljudstvo razvrstil v tri skupine in prišli so v sredo vojske ob jutranji straži in usmrtili Amónce do dnevne vročine. Pripetilo se je, da so bili tisti, ki so preostali, razkropljeni, tako da niti dva izmed njih nista ostala skupaj.
12 Then the people said vnto Samuel, Who is he that saide, Shall Saul reigne ouer vs? bring those men that we may slaie them.
Ljudstvo je reklo Samuelu: »Kdo je tisti, ki je rekel: ›Ali bo Savel kraljeval nad nami?‹ Privedite može, da jih lahko usmrtimo.«
13 But Saul said, There shall no man die this day: for to day the Lord hath saued Israel.
Savel je rekel: »Danes ne bo usmrčen noben mož, kajti danes je Gospod izvêdel rešitev duš v Izraelu.«
14 Then saide Samuel vnto ye people, Come, that we may goe to Gilgal, and renue the kingdome there.
Potem je Samuel rekel ljudstvu: »Pridite in pojdimo v Gilgál in tam obnovimo kraljestvo.«
15 So all the people went to Gilgal, and made Saul King there before the Lord in Gilgal: and there they offered peace offerings before the Lord: and there Saul and all the men of Israel reioyced exceedingly.
Vse ljudstvo je odšlo v Gilgál in tam, v Gilgálu, so postavili Savla za kralja pred Gospodom in tam so žrtvovali žrtvovanje mirovnih daritev pred Gospodom in tam so se Savel in vsi Izraelovi možje silno veselili.
