1 Samuel 18
1 And when he had made an ende of speaking vnto Saul, the soule of Ionathan was knit with the soule of Dauid, and Ionathan loued him, as his owne soule.
Kad je David završio razgovor sa Šaulom, Jonatanova se duša prikloni Davidovoj duši i Jonatan ga zavolje kao samoga sebe.
2 And Saul tooke him that day, and woulde not let him returne to his fathers house.
Šaul zadrža Davida onoga istog dana kod sebe i nije mu dao da se vrati kući svoga oca.
3 Then Ionathan and Dauid made a couenant: for he loued him as his owne soule.
I Jonatan sklopi savez s Davidom jer ga je ljubio kao samoga sebe.
4 And Ionathan put off the robe that was vpon him, and gaue it Dauid, and his garments, euen to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
I skide Jonatan plašt koji je imao na sebi i dade ga Davidu; tako i svoju odoru, čak i svoj mač, svoj luk i svoj pojas.
5 And Dauid went out whithersoeuer Saul sent him, and behaued himselfe wisely: so that Saul set him ouer the men of warre, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Sauls seruants.
Na svim svojim pohodima, kamo ga je god slao Šaul, David bijaše sretne ruke i Šaul ga postavi na čelo svojim ratnicima; omilje on svemu narodu, pa i Šaulovim dvoranima.
6 When they came againe, and Dauid returned from the slaughter of the Philistim, the women came out of all cities of Israel singing and dauncing to meete king Saul, with timbrels, with instruments of ioy, and with rebeckes.
Za njihova povratka, kad se David vraćao ubivši Filistejca, izađoše žene iz svih gradova Izraelovih u susret kralju Šaulu veselo kličući, pjevajući i plešući uza zvuke bubnjeva i cimbala.
7 And the women sang by course in their play, and sayd, Saul hath slayne his thousand, and Dauid his ten thousand.
Žene su plešući pjevale: “Pobi Šaul svoje tisuće, David na desetke tisuća.”
8 Therefore Saul was exceeding wroth, and the saying displeased him, and he sayde, They haue ascribed vnto Dauid ten thousand, and to me they haue ascribed but a thousand, and what can he haue more saue the kingdome?
Šaul se vrlo ražestio, nije mu bila draga ta pjesma. Zato reče: “Davidu su dale desetke tisuća, a meni samo tisuće! Još mu samo treba kraljevstvo!”
9 Wherefore Saul had an eye on Dauid from that day forward.
I od toga dana Šaul poprijeko gledaše Davida.
10 And on the morowe, the euill spirite of God came vpon Saul, and he prophecied in the middes of the house: and Dauid played with his hand like as at other times, and there was a speare in Sauls hand.
Sutradan zao duh Božji napade Šaula, tako da je bjesnio po kući. David je rukom udarao u harfu kao drugih dana, a Šaul je u ruci imao koplje.
11 And Saul tooke the speare, and sayd, I will smite Dauid through to the wall. But Dauid auoyded twise out of his presence.
I Šaul baci koplje govoreći u sebi: “Sad ću pribiti Davida uza zid!” Ali mu se David izmače dva puta.
12 And Saul was afrayd of Dauid, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from Saul.
Šaul se poče bojati Davida, jer je Jahve bio s njim a od Šaula je odstupio.
13 Therefore Saul put him from him, and made him a captaine ouer a thousand, and he went out and in before the people.
Zato ga Šaul ukloni iz svoje blizine i postavi ga za tisućnika: on je izlazio i vraćao se na čelu naroda.
14 And Dauid behaued himselfe wisely in all his wayes: for the Lord was with him.
David je imao uspjeha na svim svojim putovima jer Jahve bijaše s njim.
15 Wherefore when Saul saw that he was very wise, he was afrayde of him.
Kad je Šaul vidio da David ima mnogo uspjeha, obuze ga strah od njega.
16 For all Israel and Iudah loued Dauid, because he went out and in before them.
Ali svemu Izraelu i Judi omilje David jer ih je on vodio na svim njihovim putovima.
17 Then Saul sayd to Dauid, Beholde mine eldest daughter Merab, her I will giue thee to wife: onely be a valiant sonne vnto me, and fight the Lordes battels: for Saul thought, Mine hand shall not be vpon him, but the hand of the Philistims shalbe vpon him.
Šaul reče Davidu: “Evo svoju najstariju kćer Merabu dat ću ti za ženu, samo mi budi hrabar i vodi Jahvine bojeve!” Mišljaše Šaul: “Neću da padne od moje ruke, nego filistejska ruka neka se digne na njega!”
18 And Dauid answered Saul, What am I? and what is my life, or the family of my father in Israel, that I should be sonne in law to the King?
A David odgovori: “Tko sam ja i što znači moj život, što li kuća oca mojega u Izraelu da budem kraljev zet?”
19 Howbeit when Merab Sauls daughter should haue bene giuen to Dauid, she was giuen vnto Adriel a Meholathite to wife.
I kad dođe vrijeme da Šaulova kći Meraba pođe za Davida, dadoše je za ženu Adrielu iz Mehole.
20 Then Michal Sauls daughter loued Dauid: and they shewed Saul, and the thing pleased him.
Ali je Davida ljubila Šaulova kći Mikala; kad su to javili Šaulu, bilo mu je pravo.
21 Therefore Saul said, I wil giue him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistims may bee against him. Wherefore Saul sayde to Dauid, Thou shalt this day be my sonne in law in the one of the twayne.
Reče on u sebi: “Dat ću mu je, ali će mu ona biti zamka i ruka filistejska dići će se na njega.” (Šaul je po drugi put rekao Davidu: “Danas ćeš mi biti zet.”)
22 And Saul commanded his seruants, Speake with Dauid secretly, and say, Behold, ye King hath a fauour to thee, and all his seruants loue thee: be now therefore the Kings sonne in law.
Tada Šaul zapovjedi svojim slugama ovako: “Razgovarajte se s Davidom tajno i recite mu: 'Gle, omilio si kralju i svi te njegovi dvorani vole; zato budi kraljev zet.'”
23 And Sauls seruantes spake these wordes in the eares of Dauid. And Dauid sayd, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a Kings sonne in lawe, seeing that I am a poore man and of small reputation?
I Šaulove sluge ponoviše te riječi Davidu, ali im David odgovori: “Zar je u vašim očima malenkost postati kraljev zet? Ja sam samo siromah i mali čovjek!”
24 And then Sauls seruats brought him word againe, saying, Such wordes spake Dauid.
Šaulove sluge dojaviše to Šaulu govoreći: “Evo riječi što ih je rekao David.”
25 And Saul sayd, This wise shall ye say to Dauid, The King desireth no dowrie, but an hundred foreskinnes of the Philistims, to bee auenged of the Kings enemies: for Saul thought to make Dauid fall into the handes of the Philistims.
A Šaul odgovori: “Ovako recite Davidu: 'Kralj ne traži nikakva ženidbenog dara nego samo sto filistejskih obrezaka da se osveti kraljevim neprijateljima.'” Šaul mišljaše da će tako Davida gurnuti u ruke Filistejcima.
26 And when his seruantes tolde Dauid these wordes, it pleased Dauid well, to be the Kings sonne in law: and the dayes were not expired.
Šaulove sluge dojaviše te riječi Davidu, a njemu bijaše po volji da postane kraljev zet. Još prije nego što je isteklo vrijeme,
27 Afterwarde Dauid arose with his men, and went and slewe of the Philistims two hundreth men: and Dauid brought their foreskinnes, and they gaue them wholly to the King that hee might be the Kings sonne in lawe: therefore Saul gaue him Michal his daughter to wife.
spremi se David i krenu sa svojim ljudima te ubi Filistejcima dvije stotine ljudi; i donese njihove obreske i predade ih kralju na broj da bi postao njegov zet. Tada mu Šaul dade svoju kćer Mikalu za ženu.
28 Then Saul sawe, and vnderstoode that the Lord was with Dauid, and that Michal the daughter of Saul loued him.
Šaul je jasno vidio da je Jahve s Davidom i da ga ljubi sav dom Izraelov.
29 Then Saul was more and more afrayde of Dauid, and Saul became alway Dauids enemie.
I Šaul se još većma poboja Davida i posta neprijatelj Davidu zauvijek.
30 And when the Princes of the Philistims went forth, at their going forth Dauid behaued himselfe more wisely then all the seruants of Saul, so that his name was much set by.
A filistejski su knezovi izlazili u boj, ali koliko su god puta izlazili, David je imao više uspjeha nego svi Šaulovi dvorani; i tako ime njegovo posta vrlo slavno.
