1 Samuel 13
1 Saul nowe had beene King one yeere, and he reigned two yeeres ouer Israel.
Šaulu je bilo ... godina kad je postao kralj, a kraljevao je ... i dvije godine nad Izraelom.
2 Then Saul chose him three thousand of Israel: and two thousande were with Saul in Michmash, and in mount Beth-el, and a thousande were with Ionathan in Gibeah of Beniamin: and the rest of the people he sent euery one to his tent.
Šaul izabra sebi tri tisuće Izraelaca: dvije tisuće od njih bijahu sa Šaulom u Mikmasu i u Betelskoj gori, a jedna tisuća bijaše s Jonatanom u Benjaminovoj Gebi. Ostali je narod Šaul otpustio svakoga u njegov šator.
3 And Ionathan smote the garison of the Philistims, that was in the hill: and it came to the Philistims eares: and Saul blewe the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Heare, O yee Ebrewes.
Jonatan sruši filistejski stup koji je stajao u Gibei i Filistejci saznaše da su se Hebreji pobunili. Šaul zapovjedi te zatrubiše u rog po svoj zemlji
4 And al Israel heard say, Saul hath destroied a garison of the Philistims: wherefore Israel was had in abomination with the Philistims: and the people gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
i sav Izrael doznade novost: “Šaul je srušio filistejski stup, Izrael se omrazio Filistejcima!” I narod se poče skupljati oko Šaula u Gilgalu.
5 The Philistims also gathered themselues together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand charets, and sixe thousande horsemen: for the people was like the sand which is by the seas side in multitude, and came vp, and pitched in Michmash Eastward from Beth-auen.
A Filistejci se skupiše da vojuju na Izraela: tri tisuće bojnih kola, šest tisuća konja, a mnoštvo naroda kao pijeska na morskoj obali. I utaboriše se kod Mikmasa, istočno od Bet Avena.
6 And when the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were in distresse) the people hid themselues in caues, and in holdes, and in rockes, and in towres, and in pittes.
Kad su Izraelci vidjeli da su u nevolji i da je narod pritisnut od neprijatelja, posakrivaše se u pećine, jame, kamenjake, jarke i čatrnje.
7 And some of the Ebrewes went ouer Iorden vnto the lande of Gad and Gilead: and Saul was yet in Gilgal, and al the people for feare followed him.
Neki su prešli i preko gazova Jordana u zemlju Gadovu i Gileadovu. Šaul je još bio u Gilgalu, a sav je narod oko njega drhtao od straha.
8 And he taried seuen daies, according vnto the time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal, therefore the people were scattered from him.
On pričeka sedam dana kako mu je odredio Samuel; ali kad Samuel nije došao u Gilgal, narod se stade razilaziti od Šaula.
9 And Saul sayde, Bring a burnt offering to me and peace offrings: and he offered a burnt offering.
Tada reče Šaul: “Donesite mi žrtvu paljenicu i žrtve pričesnice!” I prinese žrtvu paljenicu.
10 And assoone as hee had made an ende of offering the burnt offering, beholde, Samuel came: and Saul went foorth to meete him, to salute him.
I upravo je završavao žrtvu paljenicu, kad eto Samuela; Šaul mu iziđe u susret da ga pozdravi.
11 And Samuel saide, What hast thou done? Then Saul saide, Because I sawe that the people was scattred from me, and that thou camest not within the daies appoynted, and that the Philistims gathered themselues together to Michmash,
Samuel ga upita: “Što si učinio?” A Šaul odgovori: “Kad sam vidio da se narod razilazi od mene, a ti da ne dolaziš do određenoga dana, a Filistejci se skupili u Mikmasu,
12 Therefore said I, The Philistims will come downe nowe vpon me to Gilgal, and I haue not made supplication vnto the Lord. I was bolde therefore and offred a burnt offring.
pomislio sam: sad će udariti Filistejci na me u Gilgalu, a ja neću stići molitvom ublažiti Jahvu! Zato se odvažih i prinesoh žrtvu paljenicu.”
13 And Samuel saide to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandement of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee: for the Lord had nowe stablished thy kingdome vpon Israel for euer.
Samuel tada reče Šaulu: “Ludo si radio! Da si održao zapovijed koju ti je dao Jahve, tvoj Bog, Jahve bi učvrstio tvoje kraljevstvo nad Izraelom dovijeka.
14 But nowe thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a man after his owne heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be gouernour ouer his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord had commanded thee.
A sada se tvoje kraljevstvo neće trajno održati: Jahve je potražio sebi čovjeka po svom srcu i odredio ga za kneza nad svojim narodom, jer ti nisi održao što ti je Jahve zapovjedio.”
15 And Samuel arose, and gate him vp from Gilgal in Gibeah of Beniamin: and Saul nombred the people that were found with him, about sixe hundreth men.
Nato Samuel ustade i ode iz Gilgala svojim putem. Što je naroda ostalo, pođe za Šaulom u susret ratnicima. Kad su došli iz Gilgala u Gebu Benjaminovu, Šaul pobroji narod koji je ostao uza nj i bijaše ga oko šest stotina ljudi.
16 And Saul and Ionathan his sonne, and the people that were found with them, had their abiding in Gibeah of Beniamin: but the Philistims pitched in Michmash.
Šaul i sin mu Jonatan s ljudima što bijahu s njima zaposjeli su Benjaminovu Gebu, a Filistejci se utaborili u Mikmasu.
17 And there came out of the hoste of the Philistims three bandes to destroie, one bande turned vnto the way of Ophrah vnto the lande of Shual,
Tada iz filistejskog tabora izađe četa pljačkaša u tri odjela: jedan odio udari prema Ofri u zemlju šualsku;
18 And another bad turned toward the way to Beth-horon, and the third band turned toward the way of the coast that looketh toward the valley of Zeboim, towarde the wildernesse.
drugi odio krenu prema Bet Horonu, a treći odio udari prema Gebi koja se uz Dolinu hijena diže nad pustinjom.
19 Then there was no smith founde throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistims sayde, Lest the Ebrewes make them swordes or speares.
A po svoj zemlji Izraelovoj nije bilo kovača, jer su Filistejci rekli: “Treba sve učiniti da Hebreji ne bi pravili sebi mačeva i kopalja.”
20 Wherefore all ye Israelites went downe to the Philistims, to sharpen euery man his share, his mattocke, and his axe, and his weeding hooke.
Zato su svi Izraelci išli k Filistejcima ako je tko htio da prekuje svoj raonik ili motiku, svoju sjekiru ili ostan za volove.
21 Yet they had a file for the shares, and for the mattockes, and for the picke forkes, and for the axes, and for to sharpen the goades.
A cijena je bila dvije trećine šekela za raonike i motike, jedna trećina za oštrenje sjekire i za nasađivanje ostana.
22 So whe the day of battell was come, there was neither sworde nor speare founde in the handes of any of the people that were with Saul and with Ionathan: but onely with Saul and Ionathan his sonne was there founde.
Tako se dogodilo da na dan bitke kod Mikmasa nitko od svega naroda koji bijaše sa Šaulom i Jonatanom nije imao ni mača ni koplja u ruci; samo ih imahu Šaul i njegov sin Jonatan.
23 And the garison of the Philistims came out to the passage of Michmash.
A dotle jedna straža filistejska bijaše izišla prema klancu kod Mikmasa.
