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.

Samuel je rekel vsemu Izraelu: »Glejte, prisluhnil sem vašemu glasu v vsem, kar ste mi rekli in postavil sem kralja nad vami.

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.

In sedaj glejte, kralj hodi pred vami. Jaz pa sem starec in sivolas in glejte, moja sinova sta z vami. Hodil sem pred vami od svojega otroštva, do tega dne.

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?

Glejte, tukaj sem. Pričujte zoper mene pred Gospodom in pred njegovim maziljencem. Čigavega vola sem vzel? Ali čigavega osla sem vzel? Ali sem koga ogoljufal? Koga sem zatiral? Ali iz čigave roke sem sprejel kakršnokoli podkupnino, da bi mi s tem zaslepil oči? In povrnil vam bom.«

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

Rekli so: »Nisi nas ogoljufal niti nas nisi zatiral niti nisi vzel karkoli iz roke kateregakoli moža.«

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.

Rekel jim je: » Gospod je priča zoper vas in njegov maziljenec je priča ta dan, da v moji roki niste našli ničesar.« Odgovorili so: » On je priča.«

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.

Samuel je ljudstvu rekel: » Gospod je ta, ki je določil Mojzesa in Arona in ki je vaše očete privedel gor iz egiptovske dežele.

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.

Zdaj torej mirno stojte, da se bom lahko pravdal z vami pred Gospodom o vseh pravičnih dejanjih Gospoda, ki jih je storil vam in vašim očetom.

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.

Ko je Jakob prišel v Egipt in so vaši očetje klicali h Gospodu, potem jim je Gospod poslal Mojzesa in Arona, ki sta vaše očete privedla ven iz Egipta in jim dala prebivati na tem kraju.

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.

Ko pa so pozabili Gospoda, svojega Boga, jih je prodal v roko Siserája, poveljnika Hacórjeve vojske in v roko Filistejcev in v roko moábskega kralja in so se borili zoper 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.

Klicali so h Gospodu in rekli: ›Grešili smo, ker smo zapustili Gospoda in smo služili Báalom in Astarti. Toda sedaj nas osvobodi iz roke naših sovražnikov in mi ti bomo služili.‹

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.

Gospod je poslal Jerubáala, Bedána, Jefteja in Samuela in vas osvobodil iz roke vaših sovražnikov na vsaki strani in vi ste varno prebivali.

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.

Ko pa ste videli, da je proti vam prišel Naháš, kralj Amónovih otrok, ste mi rekli: ›Ne, temveč bo kralj kraljeval nad nami.‹ Ko je bil Gospod, vaš Bog, vaš kralj.

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.

Zdaj torej glejte kralja, ki ste ga izbrali in ki ste si ga želeli! In glejte, Gospod je postavil kralja nad vami.

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.

Če se boste bali Gospoda in mu služili in ubogali njegov glas in se ne boste uprli zoper Gospodovo zapoved, potem boste tako vi kot vaš kralj, ki kraljuje nad vami, še naprej sledili Gospodu, svojemu Bogu.

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.

Toda če ne boste ubogali glasu Gospoda, temveč se boste uprli zoper Gospodovo zapoved, potem bo Gospodova roka zoper vas, kakor je bila zoper vaše očete.

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

Zdaj torej stojte in vidite to veliko stvar, ki jo bo Gospod storil pred vašimi očmi.

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.

Mar ni danes pšenična žetev? Klical bom h Gospodu in poslal bo grmenje in dež, da boste lahko zaznali in videli, da je vaša zlobnost velika, ki ste jo storili v Gospodovih očeh, v tem, da ste si zahtevali kralja.«

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.

Tako je Samuel zaklical h Gospodu in Gospod je ta dan poslal grmenje in dež, in vse ljudstvo se je silno balo Gospoda in Samuela.

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.

Vse ljudstvo je reklo Samuelu: »Moli za svoje služabnike h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, da ne umremo, kajti vsem svojim grehom smo dodali to zlo, da smo si zahtevali kralja.«

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,

Samuel je ljudstvu rekel: »Ne bojte se. Storili ste vso to zlobnost, vendar se ne obrnite stran od sledenja Gospodu, temveč z vsem svojim srcem služite Gospodu

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

in ne obrnite se stran, kajti potem bi šli za praznimi stvarmi, ki ne morejo koristiti niti osvoboditi, kajti prazne so.

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.

Kajti Gospod ne bo zapustil svojega ljudstva zaradi svojega veličastnega imena, ker je Gospodu ugajalo, da vas naredi za svoje ljudstvo.

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.

Poleg tega, kar se mene tiče, Bog ne daj, da bi grešil zoper Gospoda v [tem], da bi prenehal moliti za vas, temveč vas bom učil dobro in pravilno pot.

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 bojte se Gospoda in mu služite v resnici, z vsem svojim srcem, kajti preudarite kako velike stvari je storil za vas.

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

Toda če boste še vedno počeli zlobno, boste použiti, tako vi kakor vaš kralj.«
