1 Samuel 16
1 YHWH said to Samuel, "How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite; for I have provided a king for myself among his sons."
Gospod je rekel Samuelu: »Doklej boš žaloval za Savlom, glede na to, da sem ga zavrnil od kraljevanja nad Izraelom? Napolni svoj rog z oljem in pojdi, poslal te bom k Betlehemcu Jeseju, kajti med njegovimi sinovi sem si priskrbel kralja.«
2 Samuel said, "How can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me." YHWH said, "Take a heifer with you, and say, I have come to sacrifice to YHWH.
Samuel je rekel: »Kako lahko grem? Če Savel to sliši, me bo ubil.« Gospod je rekel: »Vzemi s seboj telico in reci: ›Prišel sem, da žrtvujem Gospodu.‹
3 Call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do. You shall anoint to me him whom I name to you."
H klavni daritvi pokliči Jeseja, jaz pa ti bom pokazal kaj boš storil in mazilil mi boš tistega, ki ti ga imenujem.«
4 And Samuel did what YHWH said, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the city came to meet him trembling. And they said, "Is your visit peaceful, seer?"
Samuel je storil to, kar je Gospod govoril in prišel v Betlehem. Starešine mesta pa so trepetali ob njegovem prihodu in rekli: »Ali prihajaš miroljubno?«
5 And he said, "Peaceful; I have come to sacrifice to YHWH. Sanctify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice." He sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
Rekel je: »Miroljubno. Prišel sem, da darujem Gospodu. Posvetite se in pridite z menoj h klavni daritvi.« In Jeseja in njegove sinove je posvetil ter jih poklical k daritvi.
6 It happened, when they had come, that he looked at Eliab, and said, "Surely YHWH's anointed is before him."
Pripetilo se je, ko so prišli, da je pogledal na Eliába in rekel: »Zagotovo je Gospodov maziljenec pred njim.«
7 But YHWH said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For humans do not see as God sees, for humans look at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart."
Toda Gospod je rekel Samuelu: »Ne glej na njegovo obličje ali na višino njegove postave, ker sem ga odklonil, kajti GOSPOD ne vidi, kakor vidi človek; kajti človek gleda na zunanji videz, toda Gospod gleda na srce.«
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. He said, "Neither has YHWH chosen this one."
Potem je Jese poklical Abinadába in ga primoral, da gre pred Samuela. In ta je rekel: »Niti tega Gospod ni izbral.«
9 Then Jesse made Shimeah to pass by. He said, "Neither has YHWH chosen this one."
Potem je Jese primoral Šamája, da gre mimo. Rekel je: »Niti Gospod ni izbral tega.«
10 And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. But Samuel said, "YHWH has not chosen these."
Ponovno, Jese je primoral sedem svojih sinov, da gredo mimo pred Samuelom. Samuel je rekel Jeseju: » Gospod ni izbral teh.«
11 Then Samuel said to Jesse, "Are all your children here?" And he said, "There remains yet the youngest. Look, he is tending the sheep." And Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and get him, for we will not sit down until he comes here."
Samuel je rekel Jeseju: »Ali so tukaj vsi tvoji otroci?« Rekel je: »Ostaja še najmlajši in glej, on varuje ovce.« Samuel je rekel Jeseju: »Pošlji in privedi ga, kajti ne bomo sedli dol, dokler on ne pride sèm.«
12 So he sent and brought him in. And he was reddish brown, and had beautiful eyes, and was handsome. And YHWH said, "Arise, anoint him, for he is the one."
Poslal je in ga privedel noter. Torej bil je rdečkast in hkrati lepega obličja in čeden na pogled. In Gospod je rekel: »Vstani, mazili ga, kajti to je on.«
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brothers: and the Spirit of YHWH came mightily on David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
Potem je Samuel vzel rog olja in ga mazilil v sredi njegovih bratov. Gospodov Duh je prišel na Davida od tega dne dalje. Tako je Samuel vstal in odšel v Ramo.
14 Now the Spirit of YHWH departed from Saul, and a harmful spirit from YHWH tormented him.
Vendar pa je Gospodov Duh odšel od Savla in zli duh od Gospoda ga je nadlegoval.
15 Saul's servants said to him, "See now, a harmful spirit from God is tormenting you.
Savlovi služabniki so mu rekli: »Glej torej, nadleguje te zli duh od Boga.
16 Let our lord now command your servants who are before you, to seek out a man who is a skillful player on the harp. It shall happen, when the harmful spirit is on you, that he shall play with his hand, and you shall be well, and it will give you relief."
Naj naš gospod sedaj zapove svojim služabnikom, ki so pred teboj, da poiščejo človeka, ki je spreten igralec na harfo. Zgodilo se bo, ko bo nad teboj zli duh od Boga, da bo igral s svojo roko, tebi pa bo dobro.«
17 Saul said to his servants, "Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me."
Savel je svojim služabnikom rekel: »Priskrbite mi torej človeka, ki lahko dobro igra in ga privedite k meni.«
18 Then one of the young men answered, and said, "Look, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, and a mighty man of valor, and a warrior, and articulate in speech, and a handsome man; and YHWH is with him."
Potem je eden izmed služabnikov odgovoril in rekel: »Glej, videl sem sina Betlehemca Jeseja, ki je spreten v igranju, močan, hraber mož, bojevnik, razsoden v zadevah in ljubke osebnosti in Gospod je z njim.«
19 Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, "Send me David your son, who is with the sheep."
Zato je Savel poslal poslance k Jeseju in rekel: »Pošlji mi svojega sina Davida, ki je z ovcami.«
20 And Jesse took a donkey and loaded it with an omer of bread, and a skin of wine, and a young goat, and sent them by David his son to Saul.
Jese je vzel osla, obloženega s kruhom, vinski meh, kozlička in jih po svojem sinu Davidu poslal k Savlu.
21 David came to Saul, and stood before him. He loved him greatly; and he became his armor bearer.
David je prišel k Savlu in stal pred njim in on ga je silno vzljubil in postal je njegov nosilec bojne opreme.
22 Saul sent to Jesse, saying, "Please let David stand before me; for he has found favor in my sight."
Savel je poslal k Jeseju, rekoč: »Pusti Davida, prosim te, stati pred menoj, kajti našel je naklonjenost v mojem pogledu.«
23 It happened, when the spirit from God was on Saul, that David took the harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the harmful spirit departed from him.
Pripetilo se je, ko je bil zli duh od Boga nad Savlom, da je David vzel harfo in igral s svojo roko. Tako je bil Savel osvežen in bilo mu je dobro in zli duh je odšel od njega.
