1 Samuel 20
1 And David fled from Nayoth near Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is my iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
David pobježe iz Najota u Rami i dođe k Jonatanu te mu reče: “Što sam učinio? Kakva je bila moja krivica i što sam zgriješio tvome ocu da traži moj život?”
2 And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father is not wont to do a great thing or a small thing, which he doth not inform me of; and why should my father conceal this thing from me? it is not so.
A on mu odgovori: “Daleko od tebe ta misao! Ti nećeš poginuti. Eto, moj otac ne poduzima ništa, bilo veliko ili ne bilo, a da to meni ne otkrije. Zašto bi, dakle, moj otac krio od mene upravo to? Neće to biti!”
3 But David swore again, and said, Thy father well knoweth that I have found grace in thy eyes; wherefore he said, Jonathan must not know this, lest he be grieved: nevertheless, as truly as the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, there was but one step between me and death.
Ali se David zakle i reče: “Tvoj otac dobro zna da sam ja stekao tvoju naklonost, pa misli: 'Ne treba da Jonatan išta zna o tome, da ne bude žalostan.' Ali živoga mi Jahve i života mi tvoga, ima samo jedan korak između mene i smrti.”
4 Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul sayeth will I do for thee.
Tada Jonatan upita Davida: “Što želiš da učinim za tebe?”
5 And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, tomorrow is the new-moon, and I should as usual sit with the king to eat; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field until the third evening.
A David odgovori Jonatanu: “Evo, sutra je mladi mjesec i ja bih morao jesti s kraljem za stolom; ali me ti pusti da odem, da se sakrijem u polju do večera.
6 If thy father at all miss me, then do thou say, David asked earnestly leave of me that he might run to Beth-lechem his city; for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
Ako tvoj otac opazi da me nema, reći ćeš mu ovako: 'David me uporno molio da ga pustim da skokne u svoj grad Betlehem, jer se ondje slavi godišnja žrtva za svu njegovu obitelj.'
7 If he should say thus, It is well: then shall thy servant have peace; but if it be at all displeasing to him, then know that the evil is determined on by him.
Ako on rekne: 'Dobro!', tvoj je sluga spašen. Ako li plane gnjevom, znaj da je čvrsto naumio da me pogubi.
8 And do thou deal kindly with thy servant; for into a covenant of the Lord hast thou brought thy servant with thee; but if there be in me any iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldst thou bring me to thy father?
Iskaži, dakle, milost svome sluzi kad si slugu svoga uveo sa sobom u savez Jahvin. Ali ako ima kakva krivica na meni, ubij me sam; zašto bi me vodio k svome ocu?”
9 And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee; for if I should know for certain that evil were determined on by my father to come upon thee, would I not tell it thee?
A Jonatan mu odgovori: “Daleko od tebe ta misao! Kad bih ja pouzdano znao da je moj otac čvrsto naumio da na tebe svali nesreću, zar ti ja ne bih dojavio?”
10 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell it me? or what, if thy father answer thee roughly?
David upita Jonatana: “A tko će mi javiti ako ti tvoj otac odgovori što zlo?”
11 And Jonathan said unto David, Come, let us go out into the field. And they went out, both of them, into the field.
Jonatan odgovori Davidu: “Hodi, izađimo u polje!” I izađu obojica u polje.
12 And Jonathan said unto David, May the God of Israel [punish me] if, when I have sounded my father about this time tomorrow, or of the third day, and, behold, if he be good toward David, I do not then send unto thee, and inform thee of it.
Tada Jonatan reče Davidu: “Jahve, Bog Izraelov, neka mi bude svjedok! Ja ću iskušati svoga oca sutra u ovo doba. Ako bude dobro po Davida, a ja ne pošaljem k tebi da te obavijestim,
13 May the Lord do so to Jonathan and continue so yet farther, that, if it please my father [to do] thee evil, I will inform thee of it, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace; and may the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
neka Jahve učini to zlo Jonatanu i neka mu doda drugo zlo! Ako li mome ocu bude drago da ti učini zlo, javit ću ti i pustit ću te da odeš u miru; i Jahve neka bude s tobom kao što je bio s mojim ocem!
14 And wilt thou not, should I be yet alive, show me the kindness of the Lord, that I may not die?
Ako ja još budem živ, moći ćeš mi iskazati milosrđe Jahvino; ako li umrem,
15 But, surely, thou wilt not withdraw thy kindness from my house for ever, not even when the Lord cutteth off the enemies of David, every one, from off the face of the earth.
ne uskrati svoje dobrote mome domu dovijeka! Kad Jahve redom iskorijeni Davidove neprijatelje s lica zemlje,
16 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, [saying, ] May the Lord require it at the hand of David's enemies.
neka ime Jonatanovo ne iščezne s domom Šaulovim, inače će Jahve tražiti o tome račun od Davida.”
17 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, by his love for him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
Tada se Jonatan još jednom zakune Davidu ljubavlju svojom, jer ga je ljubio svom ljubavlju duše svoje.
18 Then Jonathan said to David, Tomorrow is the new-moon: and thou wilt be missed, because thy seat will be left empty.
Potom reče Jonatan Davidu: “Sutra je mladi mjesec i opazit će se da te nema, jer će tvoje mjesto biti prazno.
19 And when thou hast stayed till the third day, then shalt thou go down greatly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself on the work-day; and thou shalt remain by the stone Ezel.
Prekosutra će se još očitije vidjeti da te nema, a ti dođi na mjesto gdje si se bio sakrio u dan onoga događaja i sjedni kraj onoga humka što ga znaš.
20 And I will myself shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I were shooting at a mark.
A ja ću prekosutra izmetati strijele na onu stranu kao da gađam onamo.
21 And, behold, I will send the lad, saying, Go, find the arrows; if I should now say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee: then take him and come; for there is peace to thee, and it is nothing; as the Lord liveth.
A onda ću poslati momka i reći mu: 'Idi! Nađi strijelu!' Ako onda doviknem momku: 'Pazi, strijela je ovamo bliže od tebe, donesi je!' - ti onda dođi, jer je za tebe dobro i nema nikakve opasnosti, tako mi Jahve živoga!
22 But if thus I should say unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee: then go thy way, for the Lord hath sent thee off.
Ako li doviknem momku: 'Pazi, strijela je onamo dalje od tebe!' - ti onda otiđi, jer te Jahve šalje odavde.
23 And touching the matter of which we have spoken, thou and I, behold, the Lord is between me and thee for ever.
A za ovaj dogovor što smo ga ugovorili ja i ti neka je Jahve svjedok između mene i tebe dovijeka!”
24 So David hid himself in the field: and when the new-moon was come, the king set himself down to the repast to eat.
Potom se David sakri u polju. Kad je došao mlađak, kralj je sjeo za stol da jede.
25 And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, upon the seat by the wall: and when Jonathan arose, Abner seated himself by the side of Saul, and David's place was left empty.
Kralj sjede na svoje obično mjesto, na mjesto uza zid, Jonatan se smjesti sučelice njemu, Abner sjede kraj Šaula, a Davidovo mjesto osta prazno.
26 Nevertheless Saul spoke not the least on that day; for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; because he hath not yet purified himself.
Ali Šaul ne reče ništa onaj dan jer mišljaše: “Dogodilo mu se štogod, bit će da nije čist.”
27 And it came to pass on the morrow, the second day of the new-moon, that David's place was left empty; and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore is the son of Jesse not come, both yesterday and today, to the repast?
Sutradan iza mladog mjeseca, drugi dan u mjesecu, opet Davidovo mjesto osta prazno, i Šaul upita svoga sina Jonatana: “Zašto Jišajev sin nije došao na objed ni jučer ni danas?”
28 And Jonathan answered Saul, David asked earnestly leave of me to go as far as Beth-lechem.
A Jonatan odgovori Šaulu: “David me uporno molio da ga pustim da ide u Betlehem.
29 And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for we have a family-sacrifice in the city, and my brother himself hath commanded it to me; and now, if I have found favor in thy eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, that I may see my brothers: therefore is he not come unto the king's table.
Rekao mi je: 'Pusti me da idem jer slavimo obiteljsku žrtvu u mom gradu i moja su me braća pozvala da dođem. Ako sam, dakle, stekao tvoju naklonost, daj mi dopust da pohodim svoju braću.' Eto, zato ga nema kod kraljeva stola.”
30 And the anger of Saul was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of perverse rebelliousness! do I not know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thy own shame, and to the shame of thy mother's nakedness?
Tada Šaul planu gnjevom na Jonatana i reče mu: “Izrode i propalico! Misliš da ne znam da si u savezu s Jišajevim sinom, na sramotu svoju i na sramotu majčinu krilu!
31 For all the days that the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou wilt not have any permanence with thy kingdom: therefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.
Jer dokle god bude živ na zemlji Jišajev sin, nećeš biti siguran ni ti ni tvoje kraljevstvo. Zato sad pošalji po njega i dovedi ga k meni jer je osuđen na smrt.”
32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be put to death? what hath he done?
A Jonatan odvrati svome ocu Šaulu i reče mu: “Zašto on mora umrijeti? Što je učinio?”
33 And Saul cast his spear at him to smite him: and Jonathan understood that it was determined on by his father to put David to death.
Tada Šaul izmetnu koplje na sina da ga probode. Jonatan vidje da je njegov otac odlučio da ubije Davida.
34 And Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no food on the second day of the new-moon; for he was grieved for David; because his father had made him feel ashamed.
Jonatan ustade od stola sav jarostan i nije jeo ništa toga drugog dana u mjesecu jer se zabrinuo za Davida što ga je njegov otac pogrdio.
35 And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field to the place appointed with David, and a little lad was with him.
Sutradan ujutro izađe Jonatan u polje prema dogovoru s Davidom; s njim je išao mlad momak.
36 And he said unto his lad, Run, do find out the arrows which I shoot: and the lad ran, and he shot the arrow so as to pass beyond him.
I on reče svome momku: “Ti ćeš otrčati i naći strijele koje ću sada izmetnuti.” I momak otrča, a Jonatan odape strijelu tako da je preletjela preko njega.
37 And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan called after the lad, and said, Behold, the arrow is beyond thee!
Kad je momak došao do mjesta gdje je bila strijela koju je izbacio Jonatan, viknu Jonatan za momkom: “Nije li strijela onamo dalje od tebe?”
38 And Jonathan called after the lad, Make haste, speed, stay not: and Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
Još Jonatan viknu za momkom: “Brže! Požuri se! Ne stoj!” Jonatanov momak diže strijelu i donese je svome gospodaru.
39 But the lad knew not the least: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
Momak nije ništa opazio, samo su Jonatan i David znali o čemu se radi.
40 And Jonathan gave his weapons unto the lad who was with him, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city.
Nato Jonatan preda oružje momku i reče mu: “Idi i odnesi to u grad!”
41 And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose from the south side [of the stone], and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
Kad je momak otišao, David iziđe iza humka, pade ničice na zemlju i pokloni se tri puta. Potom se izljubiše i plakahu zajedno dok se nisu isplakali.
42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace: what we have sworn, both of us, in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord shall be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever, [shall be kept]. And he arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.
Zatim Jonatan reče Davidu: “Idi u miru! Što smo se obojica zakleli Jahvinim imenom, neka Jahve bude svjedok između mene i tebe, između moga potomstva i tvoga potomstva dovijeka!” Nato David usta i ode, a Jonatan se vrati u grad.
