1 Samuel 26

1 And the Ziphites came to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Does not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?

Opet doðoše Zifeji k Saulu u Gavaju govoreæi: ne krije li se David na brdu Eheli prema Gesimonu?

2 Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.

A Saul se podiže i siðe u pustinju Zifsku, i s njim tri tisuæe ljudi izabranijeh iz Izrailja, da traži Davida u pustinji Zifskoj.

3 And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the way. But David stayed in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.

I stade Saul u oko na brdu Eheli prema Gesimonu kraj puta; a David osta u pustinji, i opazi da Saul ide za njim u pustinju.

4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come in very deed.

I posla David uhode, i od njih dozna zacijelo da je došao Saul.

5 And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched round about him.

Tada se podiže David i doðe na mjesto gdje Saul bijaše s vojskom. I David vidje mjesto gdje spavaše Saul i Avenir sin Nirov vojvoda njegov; a spavaše Saul meðu kolima a narod ležaše oko njega.

6 Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with you.

I David progovori i reèe Ahimelehu Hetejinu i Avisaju sinu Serujinu bratu Joavovu: ko æe siæi sa mnom k Saulu u oko? A Avisaj odgovori: ja æu siæi s tobom.

7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster: but Abner and the people lay round about him.

I tako David i Avisaj doðoše noæu k narodu; a gle, Saul ležaše i spavaše izmeðu kola, i koplje mu bješe èelo glave pobodeno u zemlju; Avenir pak i narod ležahu oko njega.

8 Then said Abishai to David, God has delivered your enemy into your hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray you, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time.

Tada reèe Avisaj Davidu: danas ti dade Bog neprijatelja tvojega u ruke; zato sada da ga probodem kopljem za zemlju jedanput, neæu više.

9 And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD’s anointed, and be guiltless?

A David reèe Avisaju: nemoj ga ubiti; jer ko æe podignuti ruku svoju na pomazanika Gospodnjega i biti prav?

10 David said furthermore, As the LORD lives, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.

Još reèe David: tako živ bio Gospod, Gospod æe ga ubiti, ili æe doæi dan njegov da umre, ili æe izaæi u boj i poginuti.

11 The LORD forbid that I should stretch forth my hand against the LORD’s anointed: but, I pray you, take you now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go.

Ne dao mi Bog da dignem ruku svoju na pomazanika Gospodnjega! Nego uzmi sada koplje što mu je èelo glave i èašu za vodu, pa da idemo.

12 So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul’s bolster; and they got them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen on them.

I David uze koplje i èašu za vodu, što bješe èelo glave Saulu, i otidoše; i niko ih ne vidje ni osjeti, niti se koji probudi, nego svi spavahu; jer bješe napao na njih tvrd san od Gospoda.

13 Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill afar off; a great space being between them:

I David prešav na drugu stranu stade navrh brda izdaleka; i bješe izmeðu njih mnogo mjesta.

14 And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answer you not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who are you that cry to the king?

I stade David vikati narod i Avenira sina Nirova govoreæi: što se ne odzivaš, Avenire? A Avenir se odazva i reèe: koji si ti što vièeš cara?

15 And David said to Abner, Are not you a valiant man? and who is like to you in Israel? why then have you not kept your lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king your lord.

A David reèe Aveniru: nijesi li ti junak? i ko je kao ti u Izrailju? Zašto nijesi èuvao cara gospodara svojega? Jer je išao jedan iz naroda da ubije gospodara tvojega.

16 This thing is not good that you have done. As the LORD lives, you are worthy to die, because you have not kept your master, the LORD’s anointed. And now see where the king’s spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his bolster.

Nijesi dobro radio. Tako da je živ Gospod, zaslužili ste smrt što nijeste èuvali gospodara svojega, pomazanika Gospodnjega. Eto, gledaj, gdje je koplje carevo i èaša za vodu što mu bješe èelo glave?

17 And Saul knew David’s voice, and said, Is this your voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.

Tada Saul pozna glas Davidov, i reèe: je li to tvoj glas, sine Davide? A David reèe: moj je glas, care gospodaru!

18 And he said, Why does my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in my hand?

Još reèe: zašto gospodar moj goni slugu svojega? jer šta sam uèinio? i kako je zlo u ruci mojoj?

19 Now therefore, I pray you, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD have stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.

Zato sada care gospodaru moj, poslušaj rijeèi sluge svojega. Ako te Gospod draži na mene, neka mu je ugodan prinos tvoj; ako li sinovi èovjeèiji, prokleti su pred Gospodom, jer me izagnaše danas da se ne držim našljedstva Gospodnjega, i rekoše: idi, služi tuðim bogovima.

20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one does hunt a partridge in the mountains.

Ali sada da ne padne krv moja na zemlju daleko od oèiju Gospodnjih; jer car Izrailjev izide da traži buhu jednu, kao kad ko goni jarebicu po planini.

21 Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do you harm, because my soul was precious in your eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.

Tada reèe Saul: zgriješio sam; vrati se, sine Davide, neæu ti otsele èiniti zla, kad ti danas draga bi duša moja; evo, ludo sam radio i pogriješio sam veoma.

22 And David answered and said, Behold the king’s spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it.

A David odgovori i reèe: evo koplja careva; neka doðe koji od momaka i neka ga uzme.

23 The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; for the LORD delivered you into my hand to day, but I would not stretch forth my hand against the LORD’s anointed.

A Gospod æe platiti svakome po pravdi njegovoj i po vjeri njegovoj. Jer te bješe predao Gospod danas u ruke moje, ali ne htjeh dignuti ruke svoje na pomazanika Gospodnjega.

24 And, behold, as your life was much set by this day in my eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.

I zato, evo, kako je danas meni draga bila duša tvoja, tako neka bude draga moja duša pred Gospodom, i neka me izbavi iz svake nevolje.

25 Then Saul said to David, Blessed be you, my son David: you shall both do great things, and also shall still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.

A Saul reèe Davidu: da si blagosloven, sine moj Davide! izvršiæeš i nadvladaæeš. Tada David otide svojim putem, a Saul se vrati u svoje mjesto.
