1 Samuel 24
1 And it comes to pass, when Saul has turned back from after the Philistines, that they declare to him, saying, “Behold, David [is] in the wilderness of En-gedi.”
I kad se Saul vrati odagnavši Filisteje, rekoše mu govoreæi: eno Davida u pustinji Engadskoj.
2 And Saul takes three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and goes to seek David and his men, on the front of the rocks of the wild goats,
Tada uze Saul tri tisuæe ljudi izabranijeh iz svega Izrailja, i otide da traži Davida i ljude njegove po vrletima gdje su divokoze.
3 and he comes to folds of the flock, on the way, and there [is] a cave, and Saul goes in to cover his feet; and David and his men are abiding in the sides of the cave.
I doðe k torovima ovèijim ukraj puta gdje bijaše peæina; i Saul uðe u nju rad sebe; a David i njegovi ljudi sjeðahu u kraju u peæini.
4 And the men of David say to him, “Behold, the day of which YHWH said to you, Behold, I am giving your enemy into your hand, and you have done to him as it is good in your eyes”; and David rises and cuts off the skirt of the upper robe which [is] on Saul with stealth.
I rekoše Davidu ljudi njegovi: evo dana, za koji ti reèe Gospod: evo ja ti predajem neprijatelja tvojega u ruke da uèiniš s njim što ti je volja. I David usta, te polako otsijeèe skut od plašta Saulova.
5 And it comes to pass afterward that the heart of David strikes him, because that he has cut off the skirt which [is] on Saul,
A poslije zadrhta srce Davidu što otsijeèe skut Saulu.
6 and he says to his men, “Far be it from me, by YHWH; I do not do this thing to my lord—to the anointed of YHWH—to put forth my hand against him, for he [is] the anointed of YHWH.”
I reèe svojim ljudima: ne dao Bog da to uèinim gospodaru svojemu, pomazaniku Gospodnjemu, da podignem ruku svoju na nj. Jer je pomazanik Gospodnji.
7 And David subdues his men by words, and has not permitted them to rise against Saul; and Saul has risen from the cave, and goes on the way;
I odvrati rijeèima David ljude svoje i ne dade im da ustanu na Saula. I Saul izašav iz peæine poðe svojim putem.
8 and David rises afterward, and goes out from the cave, and calls after Saul, saying, “My lord, O king!” And Saul looks attentively behind him, and David bows—face to the earth—and pays respect.
Potom David usta, i izašav iz peæine stade vikati za Saulom govoreæi: care gospodine! A Saul se obazre, a David se savi licem do zemlje i pokloni se.
9 And David says to Saul, “Why do you hear the words of man, saying, Behold, David is seeking your calamity?
I reèe David Saulu: zašto slušaš što ti kažu ljudi koji govore: eto David traži zlo tvoje?
10 Behold, this day your eyes have seen how that YHWH has given you into my hand today in the cave; and [one] said to slay you, and [my eye] has pity on you, and I say, I do not put forth my hand against my lord, for he [is] the anointed of YHWH.
Evo, danas vidješe oèi tvoje da te je Gospod bio predao danas u moje ruke u ovoj peæini, i rekoše mi da te ubijem: ali te poštedjeh, i rekoh: neæu dignuti ruke svoje na gospodara svojega, jer je pomazanik Gospodnji.
11 And my father, see, indeed see the skirt of your upper robe in my hand; for by cutting off the skirt of your upper robe, and I have not slain you, know and see that there is not evil and transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, and you are hunting my soul to take it!
Evo, oèe moj, evo vidi skut od plašta svojega u mojoj ruci; otsjekoh skut od plašta tvojega, a tebe ne ubih; poznaj i vidi da nema zla ni nepravde u ruci mojoj, i da ti nijesam zgriješio; a ti vrebaš dušu moju da je uzmeš.
12 YHWH judges between me and you, and YHWH has avenged me of you, and my hand is not on you;
Gospod neka sudi izmeðu mene i tebe, i neka me osveti od tebe; ali ruka se moja neæe podignuti na te.
13 as the allegory of the ancients says, Wickedness goes out from the wicked, and my hand is not on you.
Kako kaže stara prièa: od bezbožnijeh izlazi bezbožnost; zato se ruka moja neæe podignuti na te.
14 After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom are you pursuing? After a dead dog! After one flea!
Za kim je izašao car Izrailjev? koga goniš? mrtva psa, buhu jednu.
15 And YHWH has been for judge, and has judged between me and you, indeed, He sees and pleads my cause, and delivers me out of your hand.”
Gospod neka bude sudija, i neka rasudi izmeðu mene i tebe; on neka vidi i raspravi moju parnicu i izbavi me iz ruke tvoje.
16 And it comes to pass, when David completes to speak these words to Saul, that Saul says, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And Saul lifts up his voice, and weeps.
A kad izgovori David ove rijeèi Saulu, reèe Saul: je li to tvoj glas, sine Davide? I podigavši Saul glas svoj zaplaka.
17 And he says to David, “You [are] more righteous than I; for you have done me good, and I have done you evil;
I reèe Davidu: praviji si od mene, jer si mi vratio dobro za zlo koje sam ja tebi uèinio.
18 and you have declared today how that you have done good with me, how that YHWH shut me up into your hand, and you did not slay me,
I danas si mi pokazao da mi dobro èiniš; jer me Gospod dade tebi u ruke, a ti me opet ne ubi.
19 and that a man finds his enemy, and has sent him away in a good manner; and YHWH repays you good for that which you did to me this day.
I ko bi našavši neprijatelja svojega pustio ga da ide dobrijem putem? Gospod neka ti vrati dobro za ovo što si mi uèinio danas.
20 And now, behold, I have known that you certainly reign, and the kingdom of Israel has stood in your hand;
I sada, evo, znam da æeš zacijelo biti car, i jako æe biti u tvojoj ruci carstvo Izrailjevo.
21 and now, swear to me by YHWH [that] you do not cut off my seed after me, nor do you destroy my name from the house of my father.”
Zato mi se sada zakuni Gospodom da neæeš istrijebiti sjemena mojega poslije mene, ni imena mojega zatrti u domu oca mojega.
22 And David swears to Saul, and Saul goes to his house, and David and his men have gone up to the fortress.
I zakle se David Saulu; i Saul otide kuæi svojoj, a David i ljudi njegovi otidoše na tvrdo mjesto.
