< Kings I 20 >

1 And David fled from Navath in Rama, and comes into the presence of Jonathan; and he said, What have I done, and what [is] my fault, and wherein have I sinned before your father, that he seeks my life?
David je pobegnil iz Najóta v Rami in prišel ter pred Jonatanom rekel: »Kaj sem storil? Kaj je moja krivda? Kakšen je moj greh pred tvojim očetom, da mi streže po življenju?«
2 And Jonathan said to him, Far be it from you: you shall not die: behold, my father will not do any thing great or small without discovering it to me; and why should my father hide this matter from me? This thing is not [so].
Rekel mu je: »Bog ne daj. Ne boš umrl. Glej, moj oče ne bo storil ničesar, ali velikega ali malega, razen, da mi bo to pokazal. Zakaj bi moj oče to stvar skril pred menoj? To ni tako.«
3 And David answered Jonathan, and said, Your father knows surely that I have found grace in your sight, and he said, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he refuse his consent: but [as] the Lord lives and your soul lives, as I said, [the space] is filled up between me and death.
David je poleg tega prisegel in rekel: »Tvoj oče zagotovo ve, da sem našel milost v tvojih očeh.« Rekel je: »Naj Jonatan tega ne izve, da ne bi bil užaloščen, toda resnično, kakor živi Gospod in kakor živi tvoja duša, je samo korak med menoj in smrtjo.«
4 And Jonathan said to David, What does your soul desire, and what shall I do for you.
Potem je Jonatan rekel Davidu: »Karkoli želi tvoja duša, celo to bom storil zate.«
5 And David said to Jonathan, Behold, to-morrow [is] the new moon, and I shall not on any account sit down to eat, but you shall let me go, and I will hide in the plain till the evening.
David je Jonatanu rekel: »Glej, jutri je mlaj in jaz naj ne bi manjkal sedeti s kraljem pri mizi. Toda pusti mi oditi, da se lahko skrijem na polju do tretjega dne zvečer.
6 And if your father do in anyway enquire for me, then shall you say, David earnestly asked leave of me to run to Bethleem his city, for [there is] there, a yearly sacrifice for all the family.
Če me tvoj oče sploh pogreši, potem reci: ›David je iskreno prosil oditi od mene, da lahko teče v svoje mesto Betlehem, kajti tam je letna klavna daritev za vso družino.‹
7 If he shall say thus, Well, — [all is] safe for your servant: but if he shall answer harshly to you, know that evil is determined by him.
Če reče tako: › To je dobro, ‹ bo tvoj služabnik imel mir. Toda če bo zelo ogorčen, potem bodi prepričan, da je po njem določeno zlo.
8 And you shall deal mercifully with your servant; for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the Lord with yourself: and if there is iniquity in your servant, kill me yourself; but why do you thus bring me to your father?
Zato boš prijazno postopal s svojim služabnikom, kajti svojega služabnika si privedel v Gospodovo zavezo s seboj. Vendar če bo v meni krivičnost, me sam ubij, kajti zakaj bi me privedel k svojemu očetu?«
9 And Jonathan said, That be far from you: for if I surely know that evil is determined by my father to come upon you, although it should not be against your cities, I will tell you.
Jonatan je rekel: »To bodi daleč od tebe, kajti če zagotovo izvem, da je bilo po mojem očetu določeno zlo, da pride nadte, mar ti ne bi potem tega povedal?«
10 And David said to Jonathan, Who can tell me if your father should answer roughly?
Potem je David rekel Jonatanu: »Kdo mi bo povedal? Ali kaj če ti tvoj oče odgovori surovo?«
11 And Jonathan said to David, Go, and abide in the field. And they went out both into the field.
Jonatan je rekel Davidu: »Pridi in pojdiva ven na polje.« In oba izmed njiju sta odšla na polje.
12 And Jonathan said to David, the Lord God of Israel knows that I will sound my father as I have an opportunity, three several times, and, behold, [if good] should be determined concerning David, and I do not send to you to the field,
Jonatan je rekel Davidu: »Oh Gospod, Izraelov Bog, ko bom kadarkoli slišal svojega očeta, jutri ali tretji dan in glej, če bo dobro do Davida in potem ne pošljem k tebi in ti tega ne pokažem;
13 God do so to Jonathan and more also: as I shall [also] report the evil to you, and make it known to you, and I will let you go; and you shall depart in peace, and the Lord shall be with you, as he was with my father.
Gospod stori tako in mnogo več Jonatanu. Toda če to ugaja mojemu očetu, da ti stori zlo, potem ti bom to pokazal in te poslal proč, da boš lahko šel v miru, in Gospod bodi s teboj, kakor je bil z mojim očetom.
14 And if indeed I continue to live, then shall you deal mercifully with me; and if I indeed die,
Dokler še živim ne boš samo meni izkazoval Gospodove prijaznosti, da ne umrem,
15 you shall not withdraw your mercy from my house for ever: and if you do not, when the Lord cuts off the enemies of David each from the face of the earth,
temveč tudi svoje prijaznosti ne boš odsekal od moje hiše na veke. Ne, niti ko je Gospod odsekal Davidove sovražnike, vsakega iz obličja zemlje.«
16 [should it happen] that the name of Jonathan be discovered by the house of David, then let the Lord seek out the enemies of David.
Tako je Jonatan sklenil zavezo z Davidovo hišo, rekoč: »Naj Gospod to celo zahteva pri roki Davidovih sovražnikov.«
17 And Jonathan swore yet again to David, because he loved the soul of him that loved him.
Jonatan je Davidu dal, da je ponovno prisegel, ker ga je ljubil, kajti ljubil ga je, kakor je ljubil svojo lastno dušo.
18 And Jonathan said, To-morrow [is] the new moon, and you will be enquired for, because your seat will be observed as vacant.
Potem je Jonatan rekel Davidu: »Jutri je mlaj in ti boš pogrešan, ker bo tvoj sedež prazen.
19 And you shall stay three days, and watch an opportunity, and shall come to your place where you may hide yourself in the day of your business, and you shall wait by that stone Ezel.
Ko boš tri dni ostal, potem boš hitro šel dol in prišel h kraju, kjer si se skril, ko je bilo opravilo v roki in ostal boš pri kamnu Ezelu.
20 And I will shoot three arrows, aiming them at a mark.
Jaz pa bom izstrelil tri puščice na tej strani, kakor če streljam v tarčo.
21 And behold, I [will] send a lad, saying, Go find me the arrow.
Glej, poslal bom dečka, rekoč: ›Pojdi, najdi puščice.‹ Če bom dečku izrecno rekel: ›Glej, puščice so na tej tvoji strani, vzemi jih, ‹ potem pridi, kajti tam je zate mir in nobene škode, kakor Gospod živi.
22 If I should expressly say to the lad, The arrow [is] here, and on this side of you, take it; [then] come, for it is well with you, and there is no reason [for fear, as] the Lord lives: [but] if I should say thus to the young man, The arrow [is] on that side of you, and beyond; go, for the Lord has sent you away.
Toda če mladeniču rečem tako: ›Glej, puščice so onstran tebe, ‹ pojdi svojo pot, kajti Gospod te pošilja proč.
23 And as for the word which you and I have spoken, behold, the Lord [is] witness between me and you for ever.
Glede zadeve, o kateri sva govorila, glej, Gospod bodi med menoj in teboj na veke.«
24 So David hides himself in the field, and the [new] month arrives, and the king comes to the table to eat.
Tako se je David skril na polju. Ko je prišel mlaj, se je kralj usedel, da jé hrano.
25 And he sat upon his seat as in former times, even on his seat by the wall, and he went before Jonathan; and Abenner sat on one side of Saul, and the place of David was empty.
Kralj je sedel na svojem sedežu, kakor ob drugih časih, torej sedežu pri zidu in Jonatan je vstal in Abnêr je sedel pri Savlovi strani, Davidovo mesto pa je bilo prazno.
26 And Saul said nothing on that day, for he said, It seems to have fallen out that he is not clean, because he has not purified himself.
Kljub temu Savel ta dan ni spregovoril nobene stvari, kajti mislil je: »Nekaj se mu je pripetilo, ni čist. Zagotovo ni čist.«
27 And it came to pass on the morrow, on the second day of the month, that the place of David was empty; and Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why has not the son of Jessae attended both yesterday and today at the table?
Pripetilo se je naslednji dan, ki je bil drugi dan meseca, da je bil Davidov prostor prazen. Savel je rekel svojemu sinu Jonatanu: »Zakaj ne prihaja Jesejev sin k jedi niti včeraj niti danes.«
28 And Jonathan answered Saul, and said to him, David asked leave of me to go as far as Bethleem his city;
Jonatan je odgovoril Savlu: »David me je iskreno prosil za dovoljenje, da gre v Betlehem.
29 and he said, Let me go, I pray you, for we have a family sacrifice in the city, and my brethren have sent for me; and now, if I have found grace in your eyes, I will even go over and see my brethren: therefore he is not present at the table of the king.
Rekel je: ›Pusti me oditi, prosim te, kajti naša družina ima klavno daritev v mestu in moj brat mi je zapovedal, naj bom tam in sedaj, če sem našel naklonjenost v tvojih očeh, mi pusti oditi, prosim te in videti svoje brate.‹ Zato ne prihaja h kraljevi mizi.«
30 And Saul was exceedingly angry with Jonathan, and said to him, You son of traitorous damsels! for do I not know that you are an accomplice with the son of Jessae to your same, and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?
Potem je bila Savlova jeza vžgana zoper Jonatana in mu je rekel: »Ti, sin sprevržene uporne ženske, mar ne vem, da si si izbral Jesejevega sina v svojo lastno zmedo in k zmedi nagote svoje matere?
31 For so long as the son of Jessae lives upon the earth, your kingdom shall not be established: now then send and take the young man, for he shall surely die.
Kajti dokler Jesejev sin živi na zemlji, ne boš utrjen niti tvoje kraljestvo. Zato sedaj pošlji in mi ga pripelji, kajti zagotovo bo umrl.«
32 And Jonathan answered Saul, Why is he to die? What has he done?
Jonatan je svojemu očetu Savlu odgovoril in mu rekel: »Zakaj naj bi bil umorjen? Kaj je storil?«
33 And Saul lifted up his spear against Jonathan to kill him: so Jonathan knew that this evil was determined on by his father to kill David.
Savel je vanj vrgel kopje, da ga pobije, po čemer je Jonatan vedel, da je bilo od njegovega očeta odločeno, da Davida usmrti.
34 And Jonathan sprang up from the table in great anger, and did not eat bread on the second [day] of the month, for he grieved bitterly for David, because his father determined [on mischief] against him.
Tako je Jonatan v siloviti jezi vstal od mize in drugi dan meseca ni jedel nobene hrane, kajti užaloščen je bil zaradi Davida, ker mu je oče storil sramoto.
35 And morning came, and Jonathan went out to the field, as he appointed [to do] for a signal to David, and a little boy [was] with him.
Pripetilo se je zjutraj, da je Jonatan odšel na polje ob času, dogovorjenem z Davidom in majhen deček z njim.
36 And he said to the boy, Run, find me the arrows which I shoot: and the boy ran, and [Jonathan] shot an arrow, and sent it beyond [him].
Svojemu dečku je rekel: »Steci, poišči sedaj puščice, ki jih izstrelim.« In medtem ko je deček stekel, je izstrelil puščico preko njega.
37 And the boy came to the place where the arrow was which Jonathan shot; and Jonathan cried out after the lad, and said, The arrow [is] on that side of you and beyond you.
Ko je deček prišel na mesto puščice, ki jo je Jonatan izstrelil, je Jonatan zaklical za dečkom in rekel: » Ali ni puščica onstran tebe?«
38 And Jonathan cried out after his boy, saying, Make all speed, and stay not. And Jonathan's boy gathered up the arrows, and brought the arrows to his master.
Jonatan je zaklical za dečkom: »Podvizaj se, pohiti, ne stoj.« Jonatanov deček je zbral puščice in prišel k svojemu gospodarju.
39 And the boy knew nothing, only Jonathan and David [knew].
Toda deček ni vedel nobene stvari. Samo Jonatan in David sta poznala zadevo.
40 And Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy, and said to his boy, Go, enter into the city.
Jonatan je izročil svoje strelno orožje svojemu dečku in mu rekel: »Pojdi, odnesi jih v mesto.«
41 And when the lad went in, then David arose from the south, and fell upon his face, and did obeisance to him three times, and they kissed each other, and wept for each other, for a great while.
In brž ko je deček odšel, se je David dvignil iz kraja proti jugu in padel na svoj obraz na tla in se trikrat priklonil. Drug drugega sta poljubila in jokala drug z drugim, dokler David ni prevladal [v joku].
42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, and as we have both sworn in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord shall be witness between me and you, and between my seed and your seed for ever—[even so let it be]. And David arose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city.
Jonatan je rekel Davidu: »Pojdi v miru, kakor sva oba izmed naju prisegla v Gospodovem imenu, rekoč: ›GOSPOD bodi med menoj in teboj in med mojim semenom in tvojim semenom na veke.‹« In vstal je ter odpotoval, Jonatan pa je odšel v mesto.
