1 Samuel 24
1 And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.
I kad se Saul vrati odagnavši Filisteje, rekoše mu govoreæi: eno Davida u pustinji Engadskoj.
2 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the rocks of the wild goats.
Tada uze Saul tri tisuæe ljudi izabranijeh iz svega Izrailja, i otide da traži Davida i ljude njegove po vrletima gdje su divokoze.
3 And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave.
I doðe k torovima ovèijim ukraj puta gdje bijaše peæina; i Saul uðe u nju rad sebe; a David i njegovi ljudi sjeðahu u kraju u peæini.
4 And the men of David said to him, Behold the day of which the LORD said to you, Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do to him as it shall seem good to you. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe privately.
I rekoše Davidu ljudi njegovi: evo dana, za koji ti reèe Gospod: evo ja ti predajem neprijatelja tvojega u ruke da uèiniš s njim što ti je volja. I David usta, te polako otsijeèe skut od plašta Saulova.
5 And it came to pass afterward, that David’s heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul’s skirt.
A poslije zadrhta srce Davidu što otsijeèe skut Saulu.
6 And he said to his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the LORD’s anointed, to stretch forth my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD.
I reèe svojim ljudima: ne dao Bog da to uèinim gospodaru svojemu, pomazaniku Gospodnjemu, da podignem ruku svoju na nj. Jer je pomazanik Gospodnji.
7 So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
I odvrati rijeèima David ljude svoje i ne dade im da ustanu na Saula. I Saul izašav iz peæine poðe svojim putem.
8 David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself.
Potom David usta, i izašav iz peæine stade vikati za Saulom govoreæi: care gospodine! A Saul se obazre, a David se savi licem do zemlje i pokloni se.
9 And David said to Saul, Why hear you men’s words, saying, Behold, David seeks your hurt?
I reèe David Saulu: zašto slušaš što ti kažu ljudi koji govore: eto David traži zlo tvoje?
10 Behold, this day your eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered you to day into my hand in the cave: and some bade me kill you: but my eye spared you; and I said, I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is the LORD’s anointed.
Evo, danas vidješe oèi tvoje da te je Gospod bio predao danas u moje ruke u ovoj peæini, i rekoše mi da te ubijem: ali te poštedjeh, i rekoh: neæu dignuti ruke svoje na gospodara svojega, jer je pomazanik Gospodnji.
11 Moreover, my father, see, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and killed you not, know you and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against you; yet you hunt my soul to take it.
Evo, oèe moj, evo vidi skut od plašta svojega u mojoj ruci; otsjekoh skut od plašta tvojega, a tebe ne ubih; poznaj i vidi da nema zla ni nepravde u ruci mojoj, i da ti nijesam zgriješio; a ti vrebaš dušu moju da je uzmeš.
12 The LORD judge between me and you, and the LORD avenge me of you: but my hand shall not be on you.
Gospod neka sudi izmeðu mene i tebe, i neka me osveti od tebe; ali ruka se moja neæe podignuti na te.
13 As says the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceeds from the wicked: but my hand shall not be on you.
Kako kaže stara prièa: od bezbožnijeh izlazi bezbožnost; zato se ruka moja neæe podignuti na te.
14 After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom do you pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.
Za kim je izašao car Izrailjev? koga goniš? mrtva psa, buhu jednu.
15 The LORD therefore be judge, and judge between me and you, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of your hand.
Gospod neka bude sudija, i neka rasudi izmeðu mene i tebe; on neka vidi i raspravi moju parnicu i izbavi me iz ruke tvoje.
16 And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, Is this your voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
A kad izgovori David ove rijeèi Saulu, reèe Saul: je li to tvoj glas, sine Davide? I podigavši Saul glas svoj zaplaka.
17 And he said to David, You are more righteous than I: for you have rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded you evil.
I reèe Davidu: praviji si od mene, jer si mi vratio dobro za zlo koje sam ja tebi uèinio.
18 And you have showed this day how that you have dealt well with me: for as much as when the LORD had delivered me into your hand, you killed me not.
I danas si mi pokazao da mi dobro èiniš; jer me Gospod dade tebi u ruke, a ti me opet ne ubi.
19 For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? why the LORD reward you good for that you have done to me this day.
I ko bi našavši neprijatelja svojega pustio ga da ide dobrijem putem? Gospod neka ti vrati dobro za ovo što si mi uèinio danas.
20 And now, behold, I know well that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.
I sada, evo, znam da æeš zacijelo biti car, i jako æe biti u tvojoj ruci carstvo Izrailjevo.
21 Swear now therefore to me by the LORD, that you will not cut off my seed after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father’s house.
Zato mi se sada zakuni Gospodom da neæeš istrijebiti sjemena mojega poslije mene, ni imena mojega zatrti u domu oca mojega.
22 And David swore to Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men got them up to the hold.
I zakle se David Saulu; i Saul otide kuæi svojoj, a David i ljudi njegovi otidoše na tvrdo mjesto.
