1 Samuel 13
1 Saul [is] a son of [[thirty]] years in his reigning, and he has reigned over Israel [forty]-two years,
Šaulu je bilo ... godina kad je postao kralj, a kraljevao je ... i dvije godine nad Izraelom.
2 then Saul chooses for himself three thousand [men] out of Israel; and two thousand are with Saul in Michmash, and in the hill-country of Beth-El; and one thousand have been with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin; and he has sent each one of the remnant of the people to his tents.
Šaul izabra sebi tri tisuće Izraelaca: dvije tisuće od njih bijahu sa Šaulom u Mikmasu i u Betelskoj gori, a jedna tisuća bijaše s Jonatanom u Benjaminovoj Gebi. Ostali je narod Šaul otpustio svakoga u njegov šator.
3 And Jonathan strikes the garrison of the Philistines which [is] in Geba, and the Philistines hear, and Saul has blown with a horn through all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear.”
Jonatan sruši filistejski stup koji je stajao u Gibei i Filistejci saznaše da su se Hebreji pobunili. Šaul zapovjedi te zatrubiše u rog po svoj zemlji
4 And all Israel have heard, saying, “Saul has struck the garrison of the Philistines,” and also, “Israel has been abhorred by the Philistines”; and the people are called after Saul to Gilgal.
i sav Izrael doznade novost: “Šaul je srušio filistejski stup, Izrael se omrazio Filistejcima!” I narod se poče skupljati oko Šaula u Gilgalu.
5 And the Philistines have been gathered to fight with Israel; thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and a people as the sand which [is] on the seashore for multitude; and they come up and encamp in Michmash, east of Beth-Aven.
A Filistejci se skupiše da vojuju na Izraela: tri tisuće bojnih kola, šest tisuća konja, a mnoštvo naroda kao pijeska na morskoj obali. I utaboriše se kod Mikmasa, istočno od Bet Avena.
6 And the men of Israel have seen that they are distressed, that the people have been oppressed, and the people hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits.
Kad su Izraelci vidjeli da su u nevolji i da je narod pritisnut od neprijatelja, posakrivaše se u pećine, jame, kamenjake, jarke i čatrnje.
7 And Hebrews have passed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; and Saul [is] yet in Gilgal, and all the people have trembled after him.
Neki su prešli i preko gazova Jordana u zemlju Gadovu i Gileadovu. Šaul je još bio u Gilgalu, a sav je narod oko njega drhtao od straha.
8 And he waits seven days, according to the appointment with Samuel, and Samuel has not come to Gilgal, and the people are scattered from off him.
On pričeka sedam dana kako mu je odredio Samuel; ali kad Samuel nije došao u Gilgal, narod se stade razilaziti od Šaula.
9 And Saul says, “Bring the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings near to me”; and he causes the burnt-offering to ascend.
Tada reče Šaul: “Donesite mi žrtvu paljenicu i žrtve pričesnice!” I prinese žrtvu paljenicu.
10 And it comes to pass at his completing to cause the burnt-offering to ascend, that behold, Samuel has come, and Saul goes out to meet him, to bless him;
I upravo je završavao žrtvu paljenicu, kad eto Samuela; Šaul mu iziđe u susret da ga pozdravi.
11 and Samuel says, “What have you done?” And Saul says, “Because I saw that the people were scattered from off me, and you had not come at the appointment of the days, and the Philistines are gathered to Michmash,
Samuel ga upita: “Što si učinio?” A Šaul odgovori: “Kad sam vidio da se narod razilazi od mene, a ti da ne dolaziš do određenoga dana, a Filistejci se skupili u Mikmasu,
12 and I say, Now the Philistines come down to me to Gilgal, and I have not appeased the face of YHWH; and I force myself, and cause the burnt-offering to ascend.”
pomislio sam: sad će udariti Filistejci na me u Gilgalu, a ja neću stići molitvom ublažiti Jahvu! Zato se odvažih i prinesoh žrtvu paljenicu.”
13 And Samuel says to Saul, “You have been foolish; you have not kept the command of your God YHWH, which He commanded you, for now YHWH had established your kingdom over Israel for all time;
Samuel tada reče Šaulu: “Ludo si radio! Da si održao zapovijed koju ti je dao Jahve, tvoj Bog, Jahve bi učvrstio tvoje kraljevstvo nad Izraelom dovijeka.
14 and now, your kingdom does not stand, YHWH has sought [for] a man for Himself according to His own heart, and YHWH charges him for leader over His people, for you have not kept that which YHWH commanded you.”
A sada se tvoje kraljevstvo neće trajno održati: Jahve je potražio sebi čovjeka po svom srcu i odredio ga za kneza nad svojim narodom, jer ti nisi održao što ti je Jahve zapovjedio.”
15 And Samuel rises, and goes up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin; and Saul inspects the people who are found with him, about six hundred men,
Nato Samuel ustade i ode iz Gilgala svojim putem. Što je naroda ostalo, pođe za Šaulom u susret ratnicima. Kad su došli iz Gilgala u Gebu Benjaminovu, Šaul pobroji narod koji je ostao uza nj i bijaše ga oko šest stotina ljudi.
16 and Saul, and his son Jonathan, and the people who are found with them, are abiding in Gibeah of Benjamin, and the Philistines have encamped in Michmash.
Šaul i sin mu Jonatan s ljudima što bijahu s njima zaposjeli su Benjaminovu Gebu, a Filistejci se utaborili u Mikmasu.
17 And the destroyer goes out from the camp of the Philistines—three detachments: one detachment turns to the way of Ophrah, to the land of Shual,
Tada iz filistejskog tabora izađe četa pljačkaša u tri odjela: jedan odio udari prema Ofri u zemlju šualsku;
18 and one detachment turns the way of Beth-Horon, and one detachment turns the way of the border which is looking on the Valley of the Zeboim, toward the wilderness.
drugi odio krenu prema Bet Horonu, a treći odio udari prema Gebi koja se uz Dolinu hijena diže nad pustinjom.
19 And a craftsman is not found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make sword or spear”;
A po svoj zemlji Izraelovoj nije bilo kovača, jer su Filistejci rekli: “Treba sve učiniti da Hebreji ne bi pravili sebi mačeva i kopalja.”
20 and all Israel goes down to the Philistines, to each sharpen his plowshare, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock;
Zato su svi Izraelci išli k Filistejcima ako je tko htio da prekuje svoj raonik ili motiku, svoju sjekiru ili ostan za volove.
21 and there has been the file for mattocks, and for coulters, and for three-pronged rakes, and for the axes, and to set up the goads.
A cijena je bila dvije trećine šekela za raonike i motike, jedna trećina za oštrenje sjekire i za nasađivanje ostana.
22 And it has been, in the day of battle, that there has not been found a sword and spear in the hand of any of the people who [are] with Saul and with Jonathan—but it is found with Saul and with his son Jonathan.
Tako se dogodilo da na dan bitke kod Mikmasa nitko od svega naroda koji bijaše sa Šaulom i Jonatanom nije imao ni mača ni koplja u ruci; samo ih imahu Šaul i njegov sin Jonatan.
23 And the station of the Philistines goes out to the passage of Michmash.
A dotle jedna straža filistejska bijaše izišla prema klancu kod Mikmasa.
