1 Samuel 12

1 Samuel then said vnto all Israel, Behold, I haue hearkened vnto your voyce in all that yee sayde vnto mee, and haue appoynted a King ouer you.

Tada reèe Samuilo svemu Izrailju: eto, poslušao sam glas vaš u svemu što mi rekoste, i postavih cara nad vama.

2 Now therefore behold, your King walketh before you, and I am old and graie headed, and beholde, my sonnes are with you: and I haue walked before you from my childehood vnto this day.

I sada eto, car ide pred vama, a ja sam ostario i osijedio; i sinovi moji eto su meðu vama; i ja sam išao pred vama od mladosti svoje do danas.

3 Beholde, here I am: beare recorde of me before the Lord and before his Anointed. Whose oxe haue I taken? or whose asse haue I taken? or whome haue I done wrong to? or whome haue I hurt? or of whose hande haue I receiued any bribe, to blinde mine eyes therewith, and I will restore it you?

Evo me; odgovorite mi pred Gospodom i pred pomazanikom njegovijem. Kome sam uzeo vola ili kome sam uzeo magarca? kome sam uèinio nasilje? kome sam uèinio krivo? ili iz èije sam ruke uzeo poklon, da bih stiskao oèi njega radi? pak æu vam vratiti.

4 Then they sayde, Thou hast done vs no wrong, nor hast hurt vs, neither hast thou taken ought of any mans hand.

A oni rekoše: nijesi nam uèinio sile niti si kome uèinio krivo, niti si uzeo što iz èije ruke.

5 And he saide vnto them, The Lord is witnesse against you, and his Anointed is witnesse this day, that yee haue founde nought in mine handes. And they answered, He is witnesse.

Jošte im reèe: svjedok je Gospod na vas, i svjedok je pomazanik njegov danas, da nijeste našli ništa u mojim rukama. I rekoše: svjedok je.

6 Then Samuel sayde vnto the people, It is the Lord that made Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt.

Tada reèe Samuilo narodu: Gospod je koji je postavio Mojsija i Arona, i koji je izveo oce vaše iz zemlje Misirske.

7 Nowe therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the Lord according to all the righteousnesse of the Lord, which he shewed to you and to your fathers.

Sada dakle stanite da se prem s vama pred Gospodom za sva dobra što je èinio Gospod vama i vašim ocima.

8 After that Iaakob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried vnto the Lord, then the Lord sent Moses and Aaron which brought your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.

Pošto doðe Jakov u Misir, vikaše oci vaši ka Gospodu, i Gospod posla Mojsija i Arona, koji izvedoše oce vaše iz Misira i naseliše ih na ovom mjestu.

9 And when they forgate the Lord their God, he solde them into the hand of Sisera captaine of the hoste of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistims, and into the hande of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.

Ali zaboraviše Gospoda Boga svojega, te ih dade u ruke Sisari vojvodi Asorskom, i u ruke Filistejima, i u ruke caru Moavskomu, koji vojevaše na njih.

10 And they cried vnto the Lord, and saide, We haue sinned, because we haue forsaken the Lord, and haue serued Baalim and Ashtaroth. Nowe therefore deliuer vs out of the handes of our enemies, and we will serue thee.

Ali vikaše ka Gospodu i rekoše: sagriješismo što ostavismo Gospoda i služismo Valima i Astarotama; ali sada izbavi nas iz ruku neprijatelja naših, pa æemo ti služiti.

11 Therefore the Lord sent Ierubbaal and Bedan and Iphtaph, and Samuel, and deliuered you out of the handes of your enemies on euery side, and yee dwelled safe.

I Gospod posla Jerovala i Vedana i Jeftaja i Samuila, i ote vas iz ruku neprijatelja vaših unaokolo, te živjeste bez straha.

12 Notwithstanding when you sawe, that Nahash the King of the children of Ammon came against you, ye sayde vnto me, No, but a King shall reigne ouer vs: when yet the Lord your God was your King.

Ali kad vidjeste Nasa cara Amonskoga gdje doðe na vas, rekoste mi: ne, nego car neka caruje nad nama, premda Gospod Bog vaš bješe car vaš.

13 Nowe therefore beholde the King whome yee haue chosen, and whome yee haue desired: loe therefore, the Lord hath set a King ouer you.

Sada dakle, eto cara kojega izabraste, kojega iskaste; evo, Gospod je postavio cara nad vama.

14 If ye wil feare the Lord and serue him, and heare his voyce, and not disobey the worde of the Lord, both yee, and the King that reigneth ouer you, shall follow the Lord your God.

Ako se uzbojite Gospoda, i njemu uzaslužite, i uzaslušate glas njegov i ne usprotivite se zapovijesti Gospodnjoj, tada æete i vi i car vaš koji caruje nad vama iæi za Gospodom Bogom svojim.

15 But if yee will not obey the voyce of the Lord, but disobey the Lordes mouth, then shall the hand of the Lord be vpon you, and on your fathers.

Ako li ne uzaslušate glasa Gospodnjega, nego se usprotivite zapovijesti Gospodnjoj, tada æe biti ruka Gospodnja protiv vas kao što je bila protiv otaca vaših.

16 Nowe also stande and see this great thing which the Lord will doe before your eyes.

Ali stanite sada jošte, i vidite ovu stvar veliku koju æe uèiniti Gospod pred vašim oèima.

17 Is it not nowe wheat haruest? I wil call vnto the Lord, and he shall send thunder and raine, that yee may perceiue and see, howe that your wickednesse is great, which ye haue done in the sight of the Lord in asking you a King.

Nije li danas žetva pšenièna? Ja æu prizvati Gospoda, i spustiæe gromove i dažd, da razumijete i vidite koliko je zlo što uèiniste pred Gospodom iskavši sebi cara.

18 Then Samuel called vnto the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and raine the same day: and all the people feared the Lord and Samuel exceedingly.

Tada Samuilo zavapi ka Gospodu, i Gospod spusti gromove i dažd u taj dan; i sav se narod poboja vrlo Gospoda i Samuila.

19 And all the people said vnto Samuel, Pray for thy seruaunts vnto the Lord thy God, that we die not: for we haue sinned in asking vs a King, beside all our other sinnes.

I reèe sav narod Samuilu: moli se za sluge svoje Gospodu Bogu svojemu da ne pomremo; jer dodasmo k svijem grijesima svojim zlo ištuæi sebi cara.

20 And Samuel said vnto the people, Feare not. (ye haue indeede done all this wickednesse, yet depart not from following the Lord, but serue the Lord with all your heart,

Tada reèe Samuilo narodu: ne bojte se, vi ste uèinili sve ovo zlo; ali ne otstupajte od Gospoda, nego služite Gospodu svijem srcem svojim.

21 Neither turne yee backe: for that shoulde be after vaine things which cannot profite you, nor deliuer you, for they are but vanitie)

Ne otstupajte; jer biste pošli za ništavim stvarima, koje ne pomažu, niti izbavljaju, jer su ništave.

22 For the Lord will not forsake his people for his great Names sake: because it hath pleased the Lord to make you his people.

Jer Gospod neæe ostaviti naroda svojega radi velikoga imena svojega; jer Gospodu bi volja da vas uèini svojim narodom.

23 Moreouer God forbid, that I should sinne against the Lord, and cease praying for you, but I will shewe you the good and right way.

A meni ne dao Bog da zgriješim Gospodu i prestanem moliti se za vas; nego æu vas upuæivati na put dobar i prav.

24 Therefore feare you the Lord, and serue him in the trueth with all your hearts, and consider howe great things he hath done for you.

Samo se Bojte Gospoda i služite mu istinito, svijem srcem svojim, jer vidite, kakve je velike stvari uèinio za vas.

25 But if ye doe wickedly, ye shall perish, both yee, and your King.

Ako li zlo ušèinite, propašæete i vi i car vaš.
