1 Samuel 15
1 Afterward Samuel said vnto Saul, The Lord sent me to anoint thee King ouer his people, ouer Israel: nowe therefore obey the voyce of the wordes of the Lord.
Jednom Samuel reče Šaulu: “Mene je Jahve poslao da te pomažem za kralja nad njegovim narodom Izraelom. Poslušaj, dakle, riječi Jahvine.
2 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, I remember what Amalek did to Israel, howe they laide waite for the in ye way, as they came vp from Egypt.
Ovako govori Jahve nad vojskama: 'Odlučio sam osvetiti ono što je Amalek učinio Izraelu zatvarajući mu put kad je izlazio iz Egipta.
3 Nowe therefore goe, and sinite Amalek, and destroy ye all that perteyneth vnto them, and haue no compassion on them, but slay both man and woman, both infant and suckling, both oxe, and sheepe, both camell, and asse.
Sada idi i udari na Amaleka, izvrši “herem”, kleto uništenje, na njemu i na svemu što posjeduje; ne štedi ga, pobij muškarce i žene, djecu i dojenčad, goveda i ovce, deve i magarce!'”
4 And Saul assembled ye people, and nombred them in Telaim, two hundreth thousande footemen, and ten thousand men of Iudah.
Šaul sazva narod te ih izbroji u Telamu: bijaše ih dvije stotine tisuća pješaka (i deset tisuća Judejaca).
5 And Saul came to a citie of Amalek, and set watch at the riuer.
Šaul dođe do amalečkoga grada i postavi zasjedu u dolini potoka.
6 And Saul said vnto the Kenites, Goe, depart, and get you downe from among the Amalekites, least I destroy you with them: for ye shewed mercie to all the children of Israel, when they came vp from Egypt: and the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
Potom Šaul poruči Kenijcima: “Otiđite i odvojite se od Amalečana da vas ne bih istrijebio zajedno s njima, jer ste bili skloni svim Izraelcima kad su izlazili iz Egipta.” I Kenijci se odvojiše od Amalečana.
7 So Saul smote the Amalekites from Hauilah as thou commest to Shur, that is before Egypt,
Šaul potuče Amalečane od Havile pa sve do Šura, koji leži pred Egiptom.
8 And tooke Agag the King of the Amalekites aliue, and destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
I živa uhvati Agaga, amalečkog kralja, a sav narod zatre oštricom mača, izvršujući “herem”, kleto uništenje.
9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the better sheepe, and the oxen, and the fat beasts, and the lambes, and all that was good, and they would not destroy them: but euery thing that was vile and nought worth, that they destroyed.
Ali Šaul i narod poštedješe Agaga i najbolje ovce i najbolja goveda, ugojenu stoku i jaganjce i sve što je bilo dobro. Na svemu tome ne htjedoše izvršiti “herem”; nego što je god od stoke bilo bez cijene i vrijednosti, na tom izvršiše “herem”.
10 Then came the worde of the Lord vnto Samuel, saying,
Zato dođe riječ Jahvina Samuelu ovako:
11 It repenteth me that I haue made Saul King: for he is turned from me, and hath not performed my commandements. And Samuel was mooued, and cryed vnto the Lord all night.
“Kajem se što sam Šaula postavio za kralja: okrenuo se od mene i nije izvršio mojih zapovijedi.” Samuel se ražalosti i svu je noć vapio Jahvi.
12 And when Samuel arose early to meete Saul in the morning, one tolde Samuel, saying, Saul is gone to Carmel: and beholde, he hath made him there a place, from whence he returned, and departed, and is gone downe to Gilgal.
U rano jutro krenu Samuel da potraži Šaula. I javiše Samuelu ovako: “Šaul je otišao u Karmel, i gle, podigao je ondje sebi spomenik; zatim je otišao dalje i sišao u Gilgal.”
13 Then Samuel came to Saul, and Saul said vnto him. Blessed be thou of the Lord, I haue fulfilled the commandement of the Lord.
Kad je Samuel došao k Šaulu, reče mu Šaul: “Blagoslovljen da si od Jahve! Izvršio sam Jahvinu zapovijed.”
14 But Samuel saide, What meaneth then the bleating of the sheepe in mine eares, and the lowing of the oxen which I heare?
Ali Samuel upita: “Kakvo je to ovčje blejanje što dopire do mojih ušiju i mukanje goveda koje čujem?”
15 And Saul answered, They haue brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheepe, and of the oxen to sacrifice them vnto the Lord thy God, and the remnant haue we destroyed.
A Šaul odgovori: “Dognali su ih od Amalečana, jer je narod poštedio najbolje ovce i najbolja goveda da ih žrtvuje Jahvi, tvome Bogu. Na svemu drugome izvršili smo 'herem'.”
16 Againe Samuel saide to Saul, Let me tell thee what the Lord hath saide to me this night. And he said vnto him, Say on.
A Samuel reče Šaulu: “Stani da ti kažem što mi je noćas objavio Jahve.” A on reče: “Govori!”
17 Then Samuel saide, When thou wast litle in thine owne sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel? for the Lord anointed thee King ouer Israel.
Tada će Samuel: “Koliko god si malen sam u svojim očima, ipak si postao glavar Izraelovih plemena. Jahve te pomazao za kralja nad Izraelom.
18 And the Lord sent thee on a iourney, and saide, Goe, and destroy those sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them, vntill thou destroy them.
Jahve te poslao na vojni pohod i zapovjedio ti: 'Idi, izvrši 'herem' na tim grešnicima, na Amalečanima, vojuj na njih do istrebljenja.'
19 Nowe wherefore hast thou not obeyed the voyce of the Lord, but hast turned to the pray, and hast done wickedly in the sight of the Lord?
Zašto nisi poslušao riječi Jahvine? Zašto si se bacio na plijen i učinio ono što je zlo u Jahvinim očima?”
20 And Saul saide vnto Samuel, Yea, I haue obeyed the voyce of the Lord, and haue gone the way which the Lord sent me, and haue brought Agag the King of Amalek, and haue destroyed the Amalekites.
Šaul odgovori Samuelu: “Ja sam poslušao riječ Jahvinu: poduzeo sam pohod kamo me poslao, doveo sam Agaga, amalečkoga kralja, i izvršio 'herem' na Amalečanima.
21 But the people tooke of the spoyle, sheepe, and oxen, and the chiefest of the things which shoulde haue bene destroyed, to offer vnto the Lord thy God in Gilgal.
Ali je narod od plijena uzeo ovaca i goveda, i to najbolje na čemu se imao izvršiti 'herem', da žrtvuje Jahvi, tvome Bogu, u Gilgalu.”
22 And Samuel saide, Hath the Lord as great pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as when the voyce of the Lord is obeyed? beholde, to obey is better then sacrifice, and to hearken is better then the fatte of rammes.
A Samuel odvrati: “Jesu li Jahvi milije paljenice i klanice nego poslušnost njegovu glasu? Znaj, poslušnost je vrednija od najbolje žrtve, pokornost je bolja od ovnujske pretiline.
23 For rebellion is as the sinne of withcraft, and transgression is wickednesse and idolatrie. Because thou hast cast away the worde of the Lord, therefore hee hath cast away thee from being King.
Nepokornost je kao grijeh čaranja, samovolja je kao zločin s idolima. Ti si odbacio riječ Jahvinu, zato je Jahve odbacio tebe da ne budeš više kralj!”
24 Then Saul sayde vnto Samuel, I haue sinned: for I haue transgressed the commandement of the Lord, and thy wordes, because I feared the people, and obeyed their voyce.
Tada Šaul odvrati Samuelu: “Zgriješio sam što sam prekršio Jahvinu zapovijed i tvoje naredbe. Bojao sam se naroda i popustio njegovu zahtjevu.
25 Nowe therefore I pray thee, take away my sinne, and turne againe with mee, that I may worship the Lord.
A sada mi oprosti moj grijeh i vrati se sa mnom da se poklonim Jahvi.”
26 But Samuel saide vnto Saul, I will not returne with thee: for thou hast cast away the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath cast away thee, that thou shalt not be King ouer Israel.
Ali Samuel odgovori Šaulu: “Neću se vratiti s tobom: ti si odbacio Jahvinu riječ, zato je Jahve odbacio tebe da ne budeš više kralj nad Izraelom.”
27 And as Samuel turned himselfe to goe away, he caught the lappe of his coate, and it rent.
Kad se Samuel okrenuo da ode, Šaul čvrsto uhvati skut njegova plašta, ali se skut otkide.
28 Then Samuel saide vnto him, The Lord hath rent the kingdome of Israel from thee this day, and hath giuen it to thy neighbour, that is better then thou.
Tada mu reče Samuel: “Danas ti je Jahve otkinuo kraljevstvo nad Izraelom i dao ga tvome susjedu, koji je bolji od tebe.” -
29 For in deede the strength of Israel will not lye nor repent: for hee is not a man that hee should repent.
Ipak, Slava Izraelova ne laže i ne kaje se, jer nije čovjek da bi se kajao. -
30 Then he saide, I haue sinned: but honour mee, I pray thee, before the Elders of my people, and before Israel, and turne againe with mee, that I may worship the Lord thy God.
Šaul reče: “Sagriješio sam; ali mi sada učini čast pred starješinama moga naroda i pred Izraelom i vrati se sa mnom da se poklonim Jahvi, tvome Bogu.”
31 So Samuel turned againe, and followed Saul: and Saul worshipped the Lord.
I Samuel se vrati sa Šaulom i Šaul se pokloni Jahvi.
32 Then saide Samuel, Bring yee hither to me Agag ye King of the Amalekites: and Agag came vnto him pleasantly, and Agag saide, Truely the bitternesse of death is passed.
Potom zapovjedi Samuel: “Dovedite k meni Agaga, amalečkoga kralja!” I Agag dođe k njemu opirući se i reče: “Zaista, smrt je gorka!”
33 And Samuel sayde, As thy sworde hath made women childlesse, so shall thy mother bee childelesse among other women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the Lord in Gilgal.
Samuel mu odvrati: “Kao što je tvoj mač mnogim ženama oteo djecu, tako će među ženama tvoja majka ostati bez djeteta!” I Samuel posiječe Agaga pred Jahvom u Gilgalu.
34 So Samuel departed to Ramah, and Saul went vp to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
Potom Samuel ode u Ramu, a Šaul se vrati svojoj kući u Šaulovu Gibeu.
35 And Samuel came no more to see Saul vntill the day of his death: but Samuel mourned for Saul, and the Lord repented that hee made Saul King ouer Israel.
I Samuel nije više vidio Šaula do svoga smrtnog dana. Samuel je tugovao zbog Šaula, ali se Jahve pokajao što je Šaula postavio za kralja nad Izraelom.
