1 Samuel 23
1 Then they tolde Dauid, saying, Beholde, the Philistims fight against Keilah, and spoyle the barnes.
Javiše onda Davidu: “Filistejci opsjedaju Keilu i pljačkaju gumna.”
2 Therfore Dauid asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shal I goe and smite these Philistims? And the Lord answered Dauid, Go and smite the Philistims, and saue Keilah.
David tada upita Jahvu: “Treba li da idem na Filistejce i hoću li ih potući?” A Jahve odgovori Davidu: “Idi, potući ćeš Filistejce i oslobodit ćeš Keilu.”
3 And Dauids men said vnto him, See, we be afrayde here in Iudah, howe much more if we come to Keilah against the hoste of ye Philistims?
Ali rekoše Davidu ljudi njegovi: “Gle, mi smo već ovdje, u Judi, u neprestanom strahu; što će tek biti ako odemo u Keilu protiv filistejskih četa!”
4 Then Dauid asked counsell of the Lord againe. And the Lord answered him, and sayd, Arise, go downe to Keilah: for I wil deliuer the Philistims into thine hand.
Zato David još jednom upita Jahvu, a Jahve mu odgovori ovako: “Ustani i siđi u Keilu jer ću predati Filistejce u tvoje ruke!”
5 So Dauid and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistims, and brought away their cattel, and smote them with a great slaughter: thus Dauid saued the inhabitants of Keilah.
David onda krenu sa svojim ljudima u Keilu, udari na Filistejce, otjera njihovu stoku i zada im težak poraz. Tako je David oslobodio građane Keile. -
6 (And when Abiathar the sonne of Ahimelech fled to Dauid to Keilah, he brought an Ephod with him)
Kad je ono Ebjatar, Ahimelekov sin, pobjegao k Davidu, on je došao u Keilu noseći u ruci oplećak.
7 And it was tolde Saul that Dauid was come to Keilah, and Saul sayd, God hath deliuered him into mine hand: for he is shut in, seeing he is come into a citie that hath gates and barres.
Kad su Šaulu javili da je David ušao u Keilu, reče Šaul: “Bog ga je predao u moje ruke jer se sam uhvatio u zamku kad je ušao u grad s vratima i prijevornicama.”
8 Then Saul called all the people together to warre, for to go downe to Keilah, and to besiege Dauid and his men.
I Šaul sazva sav narod na oružje da ide na Keilu i da opkoli Davida i njegove ljude.
9 And Dauid hauing knowledge that Saul imagined mischiefe against him, saide to Abiathar the Priest, Bring the Ephod.
Kad je David doznao da mu Šaul snuje zlo, reče svećeniku Ebjataru: “Donesi oplećak!”
10 Then sayde Dauid, O Lord God of Israel, thy seruat hath heard, that Saul is about to come to Keilah to destroy the citie for my sake.
Nato se David pomoli: “Jahve, Bože Izraelov, tvoj je sluga čuo da Šaul sprema navalu na Keilu da razori grad zbog mene.
11 Wil the lordes of Keilah deliuer me vp into his hand? and will Saul come downe, as thy seruant hath heard? O Lord God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy seruant. And the Lord sayde, He will come downe.
Hoće li Šaul doći kao što je tvoj sluga čuo? Jahve, Bože Izraelov, odgovori svome sluzi!” A Jahve odgovori: “Doći će!”
12 Then said Dauid, Will the lords of Keilah deliuer me vp, and the men that are with me, into the hand of Saul? And the Lord sayde, They will deliuer thee vp.
David opet upita: “Hoće li me prvaci Keile predati, mene i moje ljude, u Šaulove ruke?” A Jahve odgovori: “Predat će vas!”
13 Then Dauid and his men, which were about sixe hundreth, arose, and departed out of Keilah, and went whither they coulde. And it was tolde Saul, that Dauid was fled from Keilah, and he left off his iourney.
Tada David ustade sa svojim ljudima, bijaše ih oko šest stotina; iziđoše iz Keile te lutahu kojekuda. A kad su Šaulu javili da je David utekao iz Keile, odusta od vojnog pohoda.
14 And Dauid abode in the wildernesse in holdes, and remayned in a mountaine in the wildernes of Ziph. And Saul sought him euery day, but God deliuered him not into his hand.
David se skloni u pustinju u gorska skloništa; nastani se na gori u pustinji Zifu. Šaul ga je neprestano tražio, ali ga Bog ne predade u njegove ruke.
15 And Dauid sawe that Saul was come out for to seeke his life: and Dauid was in the wildernes of Ziph in the wood.
David se bojao što je Šaul izišao na vojnu da napadne na njegov život. Zato je David ostao u pustinji Zifu, u Horši.
16 And Ionathan Sauls sonne arose and went to Dauid into the wood, and comforted him in God,
Tada Šaulov sin Jonatan krenu na put i dođe k Davidu u Horšu i ohrabri ga u ime Božje.
17 And said vnto him, Feare not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not finde thee, and thou shalt be King ouer Israel, and I shalbe next vnto thee: and also Saul my father knoweth it.
Reče mu: “Ne boj se, jer te neće stići ruka moga oca Šaula. Ti ćeš kraljevati nad Izraelom, a ja ću biti drugi do tebe; i moj otac Šaul zna to dobro.”
18 So they twaine made a couenant before ye Lord: and Dauid did remaine in the wood: but Ionathan went to his house.
I sklopiše njih dvojica savez pred Jahvom. David osta u Horši, a Jonatan ode svojoj kući.
19 Then came vp the Ziphims to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doeth not Dauid hide himselfe by vs in holdes, in the wood in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the right side of Ieshimon?
Jednoga dana dođoše Zifejci k Šaulu u Gibeu i javiše mu: “David se krije kod nas u gorskim skloništima u Horši, na brdu Hakili, što je južno od Ješimona.
20 Nowe therefore, O King, come downe according to all that thine heart can desire, and our part shall be to deliuer him into the Kinges handes.
Sada, kralju, kad god zaželiš sići, siđi, a naše je da ga predamo u ruke kralju.”
21 Then Saul said, Be ye blessed of the Lord: for ye haue had compassion on mee.
A Šaul odgovori: “Blagoslovio vas Jahve što ste me požalili!
22 Goe, I pray you, and prepare ye yet better: know and see his place where he haunteth, and who hath seene him there: for it is sayd to me, He is subtile, and craftie.
Idite, dakle, raspitajte se još i dobro razvidite mjesto kamo ga donesu njegovi hitri koraci; rekli su mi da je vrlo lukav.
23 See therefore and know all the secret places where he hideth himselfe, and come ye againe to me with the certaintie, and I will goe with you: and if he be in the lande, I will searche him out throughout all the thousands of Iudah.
Zato pretražite sve rupe u koje se zavlači, pa se vratite k meni kad budete pouzdano znali. Tada ću ja poći s vama, pa ako bude gdje u zemlji, ići ću za njegovim tragom po svim Judinim rodovima.”
24 Then they arose and went to Ziph before Saul, but Dauid and his men were in the wildernesse of Maon, in the playne on the right hande of Ieshimon.
Tada krenuše na put i odoše u Zif, pred Šaulom. David je sa svojim ljudima bio u pustinji Maonu u Arabi, južno od Ješimona.
25 Saul also and his men went to seeke him, and they told Dauid: wherefore he came downe vnto a rocke, and abode in the wildernesse of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he folowed after Dauid in the wildernes of Maon.
Potom i Šaul pođe sa svojim ljudima da traži Davida. Kad su to javili Davidu, siđe on u klanac koji leži u pustinji Maonu. Šaul to doznade i krenu u potjeru za Davidom u pustinju Maon.
26 And Saul and his men went on the one side of the mountaine, and Dauid and his men on the other side of the mountaine: and Dauid made haste to get from the presence of Saul: for Saul and his men compassed Dauid and his men round about, to take them.
Šaul je sa svojim ljudima išao jednom stranom planine, a David sa svojim ljudima drugom stranom planine. David se silno žurio da umakne Šaulu. Kad je Šaul sa svojim ljudima htio prijeći na drugu stranu da opkoli Davida i njegove ljude i da ih pohvata,
27 But there came a messenger to Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come: for the Philistims haue inuaded the land.
dođe glasnik Šaulu s porukom: “Dođi brže, Filistejci provališe u zemlju!”
28 Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing Dauid, and went against the Philistims. Therefore they called that place, Sela-hammahlekoth.
Tada Šaul odusta od potjere za Davidom i okrenu se protiv Filistejaca. Zato se prozvalo ono mjesto “Klanac razlaza”.
29 And Dauid went thence, and dwelt in holdes at En-gedi.
David se odande uspe i nastani u engadskim gorskim skloništima.
