1 Samuel 9
1 Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power.
A bješe jedan èovjek od plemena Venijaminova, kojemu ime bješe Kis, sin Avila, sina Serora, sina Vehorata, sina Afije, sina jednoga èovjeka od plemena Venijaminova, hrabar junak.
2 And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.
On imaše sina po imenu Saula, koji bješe mlad i lijep da ne bješe ljepšega od njega meðu sinovima Izrailjevijem, a glavom bješe viši od svega naroda.
3 And the asses of Kish Saul’s father were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with you, and arise, go seek the asses.
A Kisu ocu Saulovu nesta magarica, pa reèe Kis Saulu sinu svojemu: uzmi sa sobom jednoga momka, pa ustani i idi te traži magarice.
4 And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalisha, but they found them not: then they passed through the land of Shalim, and there they were not: and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they found them not.
I on proðe goru Jefremovu, i proðe zemlju Salisku; ali ne naðoše; pa proðoše i zemlju Salimsku, i ne bješe ih; pa proðoše i zemlju Venijaminovu, i ne naðoše.
5 And when they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant that was with him, Come, and let us return; lest my father leave caring for the asses, and take thought for us.
A kad doðoše u zemlju Sufsku, reèe Saul momku svojemu koji bijaše s njim: hajde da se vratimo, da se ne bi otac okanio magarica i zabrinuo se za nas.
6 And he said to him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honorable man; all that he says comes surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can show us our way that we should go.
A on mu reèe: evo, u ovom gradu ima èovjek Božji, kojega veoma poštuju; što god kaže sve se zbiva; hajdemo k njemu, može biti da æe nas uputiti kuda bismo išli.
7 Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we?
A Saul reèe momku svojemu: hajde da idemo; ali šta æemo odnijeti èovjeku? jer nam je hljeba nestalo u torbama, a dara nemamo da odnesemo èovjeku Božijemu. Šta imamo?
8 And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way.
A momak opet odgovarajuæi reèe Saulu: eto u mene èetvrt sikla srebra; to da dam èovjeku Božijemu da nas uputi.
9 (Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he spoke, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)
A u staro vrijeme ko bi išao da pita Boga govoraše: hajde da idemo k vidiocu. Jer ko se sada zove prorok u staro se vrijeme zvaše vidjelac.
10 Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went to the city where the man of God was.
I Saul reèe momku svojemu: dobro veliš; hajde da idemo. I poðoše u grad gdje bješe èovjek Božji.
11 And as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said to them, Is the seer here?
I kad iðahu uz brdo gradsko, sretoše djevojke koje izlažahu da zahvataju vodu, pa im rekoše: je li tu vidjelac?
12 And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, he is before you: make haste now, for he came to day to the city; for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place:
A one odgovarajuæi rekoše: jest, eto pred tobom; pohitaj, jer je danas došao u grad, jer danas narod ima žrtvu na gori.
13 As soon as you be come into the city, you shall straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he come, because he does bless the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time you shall find him.
Kako uðete u grad, naæi æete ga prije nego poðe na goru da jede; jer narod neæe jesti dokle on ne doðe, jer on treba da blagoslovi žrtvu, pa onda æe zvanice jesti; zato idite, jer æete ga sada naæi.
14 And they went up into the city: and when they were come into the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the high place.
I otidoše u grad; a kad doðoše usred grada, gle, Samuilo polazeæi na goru srete ih.
15 Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying,
A Gospod bješe objavio Samuilu dan prije nego doðe Saul, rekavši:
16 To morrow about this time I will send you a man out of the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked on my people, because their cry is come to me.
Sjutra u ovo doba poslaæu k tebi jednoga èovjeka iz zemlje Venijaminove, njega pomaži da bude voð narodu mojemu Izrailju, i on æe izbaviti moj narod iz ruku Filistejskih. Jer pogledah na narod svoj, jer vika njegova doðe do mene.
17 And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said to him, Behold the man whom I spoke to you of! this same shall reign over my people.
I kad Samuilo ugleda Saula, reèe mu Gospod: eto èovjeka za kojega ti rekoh; taj æe vladati mojim narodom.
18 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray you, where the seer’s house is.
I Saul pristupi k Samuilu na vratima, i reèe: kaži mi, gdje je kuæa vidioèeva?
19 And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer: go up before me to the high place; for you shall eat with me to day, and to morrow I will let you go, and will tell you all that is in your heart.
A Samuilo odgovori Saulu i reèe: ja sam vidjelac. Hajde preda mnom na goru, i danas æete sa mnom jesti; a sjutra æu te otpustiti, i što ti je god u srcu, kazaæu ti.
20 And as for your asses that were lost three days ago, set not your mind on them; for they are found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on you, and on all your father’s house?
A za magarice, kojih ti je nestalo prije tri dana, ne brini se; jer su se našle. I èije æe biti sve što je najbolje u Izrailju? eda li ne tvoje i svega doma oca tvojega?
21 And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? why then speak you so to me?
A Saul odgovori i reèe: nijesam li od plemena Venijaminova, najmanjega plemena Izrailjeva, i dom moj najmanji izmeðu svijeh domova plemena Venijaminova? što mi dakle govoriš tako?
22 And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the parlor, and made them sit in the most chief place among them that were bidden, which were about thirty persons.
A Samuilo uze Saula i njegova momka, i odvede ih u sobu, i posadi ih u zaèelje meðu zvanicama kojih bješe do trideset ljudi.
23 And Samuel said to the cook, Bring the portion which I gave you, of which I said to you, Set it by you.
I Samuilo reèe kuharu: donesi dio koji ti dadoh i za koji ti rekoh: ostavi ga kod sebe.
24 And the cook took up the shoulder, and that which was on it, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, Behold that which is left! set it before you, and eat: for to this time has it been kept for you since I said, I have invited the people. So Saul did eat with Samuel that day.
Tada donese kuhar pleæe i što bješe na njemu; a Samuilo ga metnu pred Saula, i reèe: evo što je ostalo, uzmi preda se, te jedi, jer je saèuvano doslije za tebe, kad rekoh: pozvao sam narod. Tako jede Saul sa Samuilom onaj dan.
25 And when they were come down from the high place into the city, Samuel communed with Saul on the top of the house.
Potom siðoše s gore u grad, i Samuilo se razgovara sa Saulom na krovu.
26 And they arose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send you away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad.
A ujutru uraniše, i kad svitaše, zovnu Samuilo Saula na krov, i reèe mu: digni se, da te otpustim. I kad se diže Saul, izidoše obojica, on i Samuilo.
27 And as they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on), but stand you still a while, that I may show you the word of God.
I kad doðoše na kraj grada, reèe Samuilo Saulu: reci momku neka ide naprijed i on proðe naprijed a ti stani malo da ti javim rijeè Božiju.
