1 Samuel 28
1 And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their hosts together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David: 'Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me in the host, thou and thy men.'
U ono vrijeme Filistejci skupiše svoje čete za rat protiv Izraela. I Akiš reče Davidu: “Znaj da ćeš ići sa mnom na vojsku, ti i tvoji ljudi!”
2 And David said to Achish: 'Therefore thou shalt know what thy servant will do.' And Achish said to David: 'Therefore will I make thee keeper of my head for ever.'
A David odgovori Akišu: “Dobro! Sad ćeš vidjeti što će učiniti tvoj sluga!” A Akiš odvrati Davidu: “Dobro! Zato ću te postaviti da budeš mojim čuvarom zauvijek.”
3 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that divined by a ghost or a familiar spirit out of the land.
Samuel bijaše umro, a sav ga Izrael bijaše oplakao naričući za njim. Ukopali su ga u njegovu gradu Rami. A Šaul bijaše istjerao iz zemlje sve zazivače duhova i vračeve.
4 And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa.
Dok su se Filistejci skupljali te došli i utaborili se kod Šunema, Šaul skupi sve Izraelce te se utabori na Gilboi.
5 And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.
Kad Šaul ugleda filistejski tabor, uplaši se i srce mu snažno zadrhta.
6 And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
Šaul upita za savjet Jahvu, ali mu Jahve ne dade odgovora - ni u snima, ni po Urimu, ni preko proroka.
7 Then said Saul unto his servants: 'Seek me a woman that divineth by a ghost, that I may go to her, and inquire of her.' And his servants said to him: 'Behold, there is a woman that divineth by a ghost at En-dor.'
Zato Šaul reče svojim slugama: “Potražite mi ženu koja zaziva duhove da odem k njoj i upitam je.” A sluge mu odgovoriše: “Evo, u En Doru ima žena koja zaziva duhove.”
8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night; and he said: 'Divine unto me, I pray thee, by a ghost, and bring me up whomsoever I shall name unto thee.'
Tada se Šaul preruši, obuče druge haljine i otputi se sa dva čovjeka. I dođe noću k onoj ženi i reče joj: “Daj mi vračaj pomoću duha i dozovi mi onoga koga ti reknem.”
9 And the woman said unto him: 'Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that divine by a ghost or a familiar spirit out of the land; wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?'
A žena mu odgovori: “Ta ti znaš što je učinio Šaul i kako je istrijebio iz zemlje zazivače duhova i vračeve. Zašto postavljaš zamke mome životu da me pogubiš?”
10 And Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying: 'As the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.'
A Šaul joj se zakle Jahvom govoreći: “Tako mi živog Jahve, nećeš biti ništa kriva za ovo!”
11 Then said the woman: 'Whom shall I bring up unto thee?' And he said: 'Bring me up Samuel.'
Tada žena zapita: “Koga da ti dozovem?” A on odgovori: “Dozovi mi Samuela!”
12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying: 'Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.'
Kad žena ugleda Samuela, povika iza glasa, a onda reče Šaulu: “Zašto si me prevario? Ta ti si Šaul!”
13 And the king said unto her: 'Be not afraid; for what seest thou?' And the woman said unto Saul: 'I see a godlike being coming up out of the earth.'
A kralj joj odvrati: “Ne boj se! Nego što vidiš?” A žena odgovori Šaulu: “Vidim nešto božansko što se diže iz zemlje.”
14 And he said unto her: 'What form is he of?' And she said: 'An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a robe.' And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and prostrated himself.
Šaul je upita: “Kakva je obličja?” A ona odgovori: “Izlazi starac, ogrnut plaštem.” Tada Šaul spozna da je to Samuel, pa pade licem do zemlje i pokloni se.
15 And Samuel said to Saul: 'Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up?' And Saul answered: 'I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams; therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.'
Samuel upita Šaula: “Zašto si pomutio moj mir dozivajući me gore?” A Šaul odgovori: “U velikoj sam nevolji jer su Filistejci zavojštili na me, a Bog se okrenuo od mene i ne odgovara mi više ni preko proroka ni u snima. Zato sam dozvao tebe da me poučiš što da činim.”
16 And Samuel said: 'Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine adversary?
A Samuel odvrati: “Zašto mene pitaš kad se Jahve odvratio od tebe i postao ti neprijateljem?
17 And the LORD hath wrought for Himself; as He spoke by me; and the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thy hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David.
Jahve ti je učinio kako ti je kazao preko mene: istrgao je kraljevstvo iz tvoje ruke i dao ga tvome suparniku, Davidu,
18 Because thou didst not hearken to the voice of the LORD, and didst not execute His fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day.
jer nisi poslušao riječi Jahvinih i jer nisi izvršio njegova žestokog gnjeva na Amaleku: stoga ti je Jahve danas ovako učinio.
19 Moreover the LORD will deliver Israel also with thee into the hand of the Philistines; and to-morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me; the LORD will deliver the host of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines.'
Jahve će predati, zajedno s tobom, i Izraela u filistejske ruke. Sutra ćeš sa svojim sinovima biti sa mnom, a i tabor izraelski Jahve će predati u filistejske ruke.”
20 Then Saul fell straightway his full length upon the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel; and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.
Šaul se užasnu i pade na zemlju kako je dug. Spopade ga silan strah od Samuelovih riječi. I ponestade mu snage, jer nije ništa jeo cijeli dan i cijelu noć.
21 And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore affrighted, and said unto him: 'Behold, thy handmaid hath hearkened unto thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spokest unto me.
Kad ona žena dođe k Šaulu i opazi kako je sav zaplašen, reče mu: “Gle, tvoja je službenica poslušala tvoju riječ, stavila sam svoj život na kocku i poslušala tvoje zapovijedi koje si mi naložio.
22 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thy handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way.'
Zato sada poslušaj i ti riječi službenice svoje: dopusti da ti pružim zalogaj kruha; jedi da ti se vrati snaga te uzmogneš poći svojim putem.”
23 But he refused, and said: 'I will not eat.' But his servants, together with the woman, urged him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.
Ali on ne htjede nego reče: “Neću jesti!” Ali kad ga zaokupiše njegove sluge, zajedno sa ženom, posluša ih, ustade sa zemlje i sjede na postelju.
24 And the woman had a fatted calf in the house; and she made haste, and killed it; and she took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof;
Žena je imala kod kuće tele u tovu. Brzo ga zakla, zatim uze brašna, umijesi ga i napeče beskvasnoga kruha.
25 and she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night.
Potom stavi sve pred Šaula i njegove ljude. Pošto su jeli, ustadoše i još iste noći krenuše natrag.
