1 Samuel 26

1 Then the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, "Look, David is hiding himself on the hill of Hakilah, which is near Jeshimon."

Zífovci so prišli k Savlu v Gíbeo, rekoč: »Ali se David ne skriva na hribu Hahíla, ki je pred Ješimonom?«

2 Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.

Potem se je Savel dvignil in odšel dol k Zifski divjini in s seboj je imel tri tisoč izbranih mož iz Izraela, da Davida poiščejo v Zifski divjini.

3 Saul camped on the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, near the road. But David stayed in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.

Savel je taboril na hribu Hahíla, ki je ob poti pred Ješimonom. Toda David je prebival v divjini in videl je, da je Savel prišel za njim v divjino.

4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul had certainly come.

David je torej odposlal oglednike in razumel, da je Savel zagotovo prišel.

5 David arose, and came to the place where Saul had camped; and David saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army: and Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people were camped around him.

David je vstal in prišel na kraj, kjer se je Savel utaboril in David je opazoval kraj, kjer sta se ulegla Savel in Abnêr, Nerov sin, poveljnik njegove vojske. Savel pa je ležal v okopu in ljudstvo je taborilo okoli njega.

6 Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hethite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, "Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp?" Abishai said, "I will go down with you."

Potem je David odgovoril in rekel Hetejcu Ahimélehu in Cerújinemu sinu Abišáju, Joábovemu bratu, rekoč: »Kdo bo odšel z menoj dol, k Savlu v tabor?« Abišáj je rekel: »Jaz bom odšel dol s teboj.«

7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, look, Saul lay sleeping within the place of the wagons, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay around him.

Tako sta David in Abišáj prišla ponoči k ljudstvu in glej, Savel je speč ležal znotraj okopa in njegova sulica zapičena v tla pri njegovem vzglavniku, toda Abnêr in ljudstvo so ležali naokoli njega.

8 Then Abishai said to David, "God has delivered up your enemy into your hand this day. Now therefore please let me strike him with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not strike him the second time."

Potem je Abišáj rekel Davidu: »Bog je ta dan izročil tvoje sovražnike v tvojo roko. Zdaj naj ga torej udarim, prosim te, s sulico celo k zemlji in ne bom ga udaril drugič.«

9 David said to Abishai, "Do not destroy him; for who can put forth his hand against the LORD's anointed, and be guiltless?"

David je rekel Abišáju: »Ne uniči ga, kajti kdo lahko iztegne svojo roko zoper Gospodovega maziljenca in je brez krivde?«

10 David said, "As the LORD lives, the LORD will strike him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle and perish.

David je nadalje rekel: » Kakor Gospod živi, Gospod ga bo udaril, ali bo prišel njegov dan, da umre, ali [pa] se bo spustil v bitko in umrl.

11 The LORD forbid that I should put forth my hand against the LORD's anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head, and the jar of water, and let us go."

Gospod me obvaruj, da bi iztegnil svojo roko zoper Gospodovega maziljenca, toda, prosim te, vzemi sedaj sulico, ki je pri njegovem vzglavniku in vrč vode ter odidiva.«

12 So David took the spear and the jar of water at his head, and they went away. And no one saw it or knew about it, nor did any awake. For they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen on them.

Tako je David vzel sulico in vrč vode izpred Savlovega vzglavnika in spravila sta se proč in noben človek tega ni videl niti ni tega spoznal niti se zbudil, kajti vsi so zaspali, ker je nanje padlo globoko spanje od Gospoda.

13 Then David crossed over to the other side and stood on the top of the hill some distance away; there was a great distance between them.

Potem je David šel preko, na drugo stran in stal na vrhu oddaljenega hriba. Med njimi je bil velik prostor

14 And David called to the people, and to Abner, saying, "Will you not answer, Abner?" Then Abner replied, "Who are you that calls?"

in David je zaklical ljudstvu in Nerovemu sinu Abnêrju, rekoč: »Ne odgovarjaš, Abnêr?« Potem je Abnêr odgovoril in rekel: »Kdo si ti, ki kličeš h kralju?«

15 David said to Abner, "Aren't you a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord, the king? For one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord.

David je rekel Abnêrju: » Mar nisi ti hraber mož? In kdo je v Izraelu podoben tebi? Zakaj potem nisi varoval svojega gospoda kralja? Kajti tja je prišel nekdo izmed ljudstva, da uniči tvojega gospoda kralja.

16 This thing isn't good that you have done. As the LORD lives, you are worthy to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the LORD's anointed. Now look, where is the king's spear, and where is the jar of water that was by his head?"

Ta stvar, ki si jo storil, ni dobra. Kakor živi Gospod, vredni ste umreti, ker niste varovali svojega gospodarja, Gospodovega maziljenca. In sedaj poglej, kje je kraljeva sulica in vrč vode, ki je bil pri njegovem vzglavniku.«

17 Saul knew David's voice, and said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" David said, "It is my voice, my lord, O king."

Savel je prepoznal Davidov glas in rekel: » Ali je to tvoj glas, moj sin David?« David je rekel: » To je moj glas, moj gospod, oh kralj.«

18 He said, "Why does my lord pursue after his servant? For what have I done? Or what evil is in my hand?

Rekel je: »Zakaj moj gospod tako zasleduje svojega služabnika? Kaj sem storil? Ali kakšno zlo je v moji roki?

19 Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is so that God has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering. But if it is from human beings, they are cursed before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day that I shouldn't cling to the LORD's inheritance, saying, 'Go, serve other gods.'

Zdaj te torej prosim, naj moj gospod kralj posluša besede svojega služabnika. Če te je Gospod razvnel zoper mene, naj sprejme daritev, toda če so to človeški otroci, naj bodo prekleti pred Gospodom, kajti danes so me pognali ven, pred ostajanjem v Gospodovi dediščini, rekoč: ›Pojdi, služi drugim bogovom.‹

20 Now therefore, do not let my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of the LORD; for the king of Israel has come out to seek my life, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains."

Zdaj naj torej moja kri ne pade na tla pred Gospodovim obrazom, kajti Izraelov kralj je prišel ven, da išče bolho, kakor ko nekdo lovi jerebico v gorah.«

21 Then Saul said, "I have sinned. Come back, my son David, for I will not harm you, because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Look, I have behaved foolishly, and have made a great mistake."

Potem je Savel rekel: »Grešil sem. Vrni se, moj sin David, kajti ne bom ti več škodil, ker je bila ta dan moja duša dragocena v tvojih očeh. Glej igral sem bedaka in se silno motil.«

22 And David answered and said, "Look, the king's spear. Now let one of the young men come over and get it.

David je odgovoril in rekel: »Poglej kraljevo sulico! In naj nekdo izmed mladeničev pride čez ter jo vzame.

23 The LORD will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; because the LORD delivered you into my hand today, and I wouldn't put forth my hand against the LORD's anointed.

Gospod [naj] vsakemu možu povrne njegovo pravičnost in njegovo zvestobo, kajti Gospod te je ta dan izročil v mojo roko, toda svoje roke nisem hotel iztegniti zoper Gospodovega maziljenca.

24 Look, as your life was respected this day in my eyes, so let my life be respected in the eyes of the LORD, and let him deliver me out of all oppression."

Glej, kakor je bilo tvoje življenje ta dan zelo cenjeno v mojih očeh, tako naj bo moje življenje zelo cenjeno v Gospodovih očeh in naj me osvobodi iz vse stiske.«

25 Then Saul said to David, "You are blessed, my son. You will accomplish much, and will surely be successful." So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.

Potem je Savel rekel Davidu: »Blagoslovljen bodi ti, moj sin David. Delal boš oboje, velike stvari in vendar boš tudi prevladal.« Tako je David odšel na svojo pot in Savel se je vrnil na svoj kraj.
