1 Samuel 9
1 And there is a man of Benjamin, and his name [is] Kish, son of Abiel, son of Zeror, son of Bechorath, son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of valor,
Živio u ono vrijeme jedan čovjek u Benjaminovu plemenu po imenu Kiš, sin Abiela, sina Serora, sina Bekorata, sina Afijahova; bio je iz plemena Benjaminova, čovjek imućan.
2 and he has a son, and his name [is] Saul, a choice youth and handsome, and there is not a man among the sons of Israel more handsome than he—from his shoulder and upward, higher than any of the people.
Imao je sina po imenu Šaula, koji je bio mlad i lijep. Među sinovima Izraelovim nije bilo ljepšega čovjeka od njega: za glavu bijaše viši od svega naroda.
3 And the donkeys of Kish, father of Saul, are lost, and Kish says to his son Saul, “Now take one of the young men with you, and rise, go, seek the donkeys.”
Uto se Kišu, Šaulovu ocu, izgubilo nekoliko magarica, pa Kiš reče svome sinu Šaulu: “Uzmi sa sobom jednoga momka pa ustani i idi tražiti magarice!”
4 And he passes over through the hill-country of Ephraim, and passes over through the land of Shalisha, and they have not found [them]; and they pass over through the land of Shaalim, and they are not; and he passes over through the land of Benjamin, and they have not found [them].
I prođoše oni Efrajimovu goru i prođoše zemlju Šališu, ali ne nađoše ništa; prođoše zemlju Šaalim, ali magarica ne bijaše ondje; prođoše i zemlju Benjaminovu, ali ne nađoše ništa.
5 They have come to the land of Zuph, and Saul has said to his young man who [is] with him, “Come, and we return, lest my father leave off from the donkeys, and has been sorrowful for us.”
Kad su došli u zemlju Suf, reče Šaul momku koji ga je pratio: “Hajde, vratimo se da se ne bi otac okanio magarica i zabrinuo se za nas!”
6 And he says to him, “Now behold, a man of God [is] in this city, and the man is honored; all that he speaks certainly comes; now, we go there, it may be he declares to us our way on which we have gone.”
A on mu odgovori: “Eno, u onom ondje gradu živi čovjek Božji; to je vrlo ugledan čovjek: što god rekne, sve se zacijelo ispunja. Pođimo, dakle, k njemu, možda će nas uputiti u ono zbog čega smo pošli na put.”
7 And Saul says to his young man, “And behold, we go, and what do we bring to the man? For the bread has gone from our vessels, and there is no present to bring to the man of God—what [is] with us?”
A Šaul reče svome momku: “Ako zaista pođemo onamo, što ćemo ponijeti čovjeku? Kruha je nestalo u našim torbama, nemamo dara da ponesemo čovjeku Božjem. Što mu možemo dati?”
8 And the young man adds to answer Saul and says, “Behold, there is found a fourth of a shekel of silver with me: and I have given to the man of God, and he has declared our way to us.”
A momak opet progovori i reče Šaulu: “Gle, imam u ruci četvrt šekela srebra: dat ću ga Božjem čovjeku da nas uputi kamo bismo išli.”
9 Formerly in Israel, thus said the man in his going to seek God: “Come and we go to the seer.” For the “prophet” of today is formerly called “the seer.”
Nekoć se u Izraelu, kad bi išli pitati Boga za savjet, govorilo: “Hajde, pođimo k vidiocu!” Jer koga danas zovu prorokom nekoć se zvao vidjelac. -
10 And Saul says to his young man, “Your word [is] good; come, we go”; and they go to the city where the man of God [is].
Šaul odvrati svome momku: “Dobro veliš. Hajdemo!” I krenuše u grad gdje je živio čovjek Božji.
11 They are going up in the ascent of the city, and have found young women going out to draw water, and say to them, “Is the seer in this [place]?”
Kad su se penjali usponom prema gradu, sretoše djevojke koje su izašle da zahvate vode. I zapitaše ih: “Je li gore vidjelac?” -
12 And they answer them and say, “He is; behold, before you! Hurry, now, for he has come to the city today, for the people [have] a sacrifice today in a high place.
One im odgovore ovako: “Jest, vidjelac je pred vama. Upravo je stigao u grad, jer danas narod ima žrtvu na uzvišici.
13 At your going into the city so you find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat; for the people do not eat until his coming, for he blesses the sacrifice; afterward, they who are called eat, and now, go up, for you should find him at this time.”
Čim uđete u grad, naći ćete ga još prije nego što se popne na uzvišicu da sudjeluje na žrtvenoj gozbi. Narod neće jesti dok on ne dođe, jer on mora blagosloviti žrtvu, a onda će tek uzvanici jesti. Zato idite odmah gore, jer ćete ga sada još naći.”
14 And they go up to the city; they are coming into the midst of the city, and behold, Samuel is coming out to meet them, to go up to the high place;
Oni otiđoše gore u grad. Kad su ulazili na vrata, Samuel ih susrete polazeći na uzvišicu.
15 and YHWH had uncovered the ear of Samuel one day before the coming of Saul, saying,
A dan prije nego što je Šaul došao bijaše Jahve objavio Samuelu:
16 “At this time tomorrow, I send to you a man out of the land of Benjamin—and you have anointed him for leader over My people Israel, and he has saved My people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have seen My people, for its cry has come to Me.”
“Sutra u ovo doba poslat ću k tebi čovjeka iz Benjaminove zemlje. Ti ćeš ga pomazati za kneza nad mojim narodom Izraelom. On će izbaviti moj narod iz ruke filistejske. Vidio sam nevolju svoga naroda i njegov je vapaj dopro do mene.”
17 When Samuel has seen Saul, then YHWH has answered him, “Behold, the man of whom I have spoken to you; this [one] restrains My people.”
A kad je Samuel ugledao Šaula, Jahve mu progovori: “Evo ti čovjeka za koga ti rekoh: 'Taj će vladati nad mojim narodom.'”
18 And Saul draws near to Samuel in the midst of the gate and says, “Please declare to me where this seer’s house [is].”
Šaul pristupi Samuelu na vratima i reče: “Daj mi kaži gdje je vidiočeva kuća.”
19 And Samuel answers Saul and says, “I [am] the seer; go up before me into the high place, and you have eaten with me today, and I have sent you away in the morning, and all that [is] in your heart I declare to you.
A Samuel odgovori Šaulu: “Ja sam vidjelac. Pođi preda mnom na uzvišicu, danas ćete sa mnom jesti. Sutra ću te ujutro otpustiti i sve ću ti kazati što ti je na srcu.
20 And as for the donkeys which are lost from you [for] three days as of today, do not set your heart to them, for they have been found; and to whom [is] all the desire of Israel? Is it not to you and to all your father’s house?”
A za magarice koje su ti se izgubile prije tri dana ne uznemiruj se jer su se našle. Uostalom, kome pripada sve što je najdragocjenije u Izraelu? Zar ne tebi i svemu domu tvoga oca?”
21 And Saul answers and says, “Am I not a Benjamite—of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? And my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? And why have you spoken to me according to this word?”
A Šaul odgovori ovako: “Nisam li ja od Benjaminova plemena, najmanjega plemena Izraelova? A moj rod nije li najneznatniji između svih rodova Benjaminova plemena? Zašto mi, dakle, govoriš takve riječi?”
22 And Samuel takes Saul, and his young man, and brings them into the chamber, and gives a place to them at the head of those called; and they [are] about thirty men.
Samuel uze Šaula i njegova momka, odvede ih u sobu i dade im mjesto u pročelju među uzvanicima, kojih je bilo tridesetak.
23 And Samuel says to the cook, “Give the portion which I gave to you, of which I said to you, Set it by you.”
Zatim Samuel reče kuharu: “Donesi dio koji ti dadoh i za koji ti rekoh da ga staviš na stranu.”
24 (And the cook lifts up the leg, and that which [is] on it, and sets [it] before Saul), and he says, “Behold, that which is left; [it] is set before your face—eat, for it is kept for you for this appointed time, [at my] saying, I have called the people”; and Saul eats with Samuel on that day.
Kuhar uze but, donese ga i stavi pred Šaula, a Samuel mu reče: “Evo, pred tobom je ono što je sačuvano za tebe. Jedi, jer to ti je sačuvano baš za ovu zgodu.” Tako je u onaj dan Šaul jeo sa Samuelom.
25 And they come down from the high place to the city, and he speaks with Saul on the roof.
Potom odande siđoše u grad. Ondje prostriješe Šaulu na krovu.
26 And they rise early, and it comes to pass, at the ascending of the dawn, that Samuel calls to Saul, on the roof, saying, “Rise, and I send you away”; and Saul rises, and they go out, both of them—he and Samuel, outside.
I on leže na počinak. Čim je svanula zora, Samuel zovnu Šaula (na krovu) govoreći: “Ustani da te otpustim!” Kad je Šaul ustao, izađoše obojica, on i Samuel.
27 They are going down in the extremity of the city, and Samuel has said to Saul, “Say to the young man that he should pass on before us (and he passes on), and you, stand at this time, and I cause you to hear the word of God.”
Kad su došli na kraj grada, reče Samuel Šaulu: “Kaži momku neka pođe naprijed pred nama! A ti stani sada da ti objavim riječ Božju.”
