< 1 Samuel 13 >

1 Saul was [thirty] years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years over Israel.
Savel je kraljeval eno leto in ko je nad Izraelom kraljeval dve leti,
2 And Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mount of Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
si je Savel izbral tri tisoč mož iz Izraela, od katerih jih je bilo dva tisoč s Savlom v Mihmášu in na gori Betel, tisoč pa jih je bilo z Jonatanom v Benjaminovi Gíbei, preostanek ljudstva pa je poslal vsakega moža k svojemu šotoru.
3 And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
Jonatan je udaril garnizijo Filistejcev, ki je bila v Gebi in Filistejci so slišali o tem. Savel pa je zatrobil na šofar po vsej deželi, rekoč: »Naj Hebrejci slišijo.«
4 And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
Ves Izrael je slišal govoriti, da je Savel udaril garnizijo Filistejcev in da je bil tudi Izrael v ogabnost Filistejcem. In ljudstvo je bilo sklicano skupaj za Savlom v Gilgál.
5 And the Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and pitched in Michmash, eastward of Beth-aven.
Filistejci so se zbrali skupaj, da se bojujejo z Izraelom, trideset tisoč bojnih vozov, šest tisoč konjenikov in ljudstva v obilju, kakor je peska na morski obali. Prišli so gor in se utaborili v Mihmášu, vzhodno od Bet Avena.
6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait, (for the people were distressed, ) then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in holds, and in pits.
Ko so možje iz Izraela videli, da so bili v škripcu (kajti ljudje so bili zelo stiskani), potem so se ljudje skrili v votlinah, v goščavah, v skalah, na visokih krajih in v jamah.
7 Now some of the Hebrews had gone over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
Nekateri izmed Hebrejcev so odšli preko Jordana k deželi Gada in Gileáda. Glede Savla, on je bil še vedno v Gilgálu in vse ljudstvo mu je trepetajoč sledilo.
8 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had [appointed]: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
Zadrževal se je sedem dni, glede na določeni čas, ki ga je Samuel določil. Toda Samuel ni prišel v Gilgál, ljudstvo pa je bilo razkropljeno od njega.
9 And Saul said, Bring hither the burnt offering to me, and the peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.
Savel je rekel: »Prinesite sèm k meni žgalno daritev in mirovne daritve.« In daroval je žgalno daritev.
10 And it came to pass that, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
Pripetilo se je, da takoj, ko je končal daritev žgalne daritve, glej, je prišel Samuel. Savel je odšel ven, da ga sreča, da bi ga lahko pozdravil.
11 And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash;
Samuel je rekel: »Kaj si storil?« Savel je rekel: »Ker sem videl, da je bilo ljudstvo razkropljeno proč od mene in da ti nisi prišel v določenih dneh in da so se Filistejci zbrali skupaj pri Mihmášu,
12 therefore said I, Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favour of the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering.
sem zato rekel: ›Filistejci bodo sedaj prišli nadme dol v Gilgál, jaz pa nisem naredil ponižne prošnje h Gospodu.‹ Zato sem se prisilil in daroval žgalno daritev.«
13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.
Samuel je rekel Savlu: »Storil si nespametno. Nisi se držal zapovedi Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki ti jo je zapovedal, kajti sedaj bi Gospod na veke utrdil tvoje kraljestvo nad Izraelom.
14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath appointed him to be prince over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.
Toda sedaj tvoje kraljestvo ne bo trajalo. Gospod si je poiskal moža po svojem lastnem srcu in Gospod mu je zapovedal, da bi bil poveljnik nad njegovim ljudstvom, ker se ti nisi držal tega, kar ti je Gospod zapovedal.«
15 And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men.
Samuel je vstal in se iz Gilgála povzpel v Benjaminovo Gíbeo. Savel je preštel ljudstvo, ki je bilo prisotno z njim, približno šeststo mož.
16 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Geba of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
Savel, njegov sin Jonatan in ljudstvo, ki je bilo prisotno z njima, je ostalo v Benjaminovi Gíbei, toda Filistejci so taborili v Mihmášu.
17 And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual:
Iz tabora Filistejcev so prišli plenilci v treh skupinah. Ena skupina se je obrnila k poti, ki vodi v Ofro, v deželo Šuál.
18 and another company turned the way to Beth-horon: and another company turned the way of the border that looketh down upon the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
Druga skupina se je obrnila k poti do Bet Horóna. [Še] druga skupina se je obrnila k poti meje, ki je obrnjena k dolini Cebojím, proti divjini.
19 Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears:
Torej po vsej Izraelovi deželi ni bilo najti kovača, kajti Filistejci so rekli: »Da si ne bi Hebrejci naredili mečev ali sulic, «
20 but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock;
temveč so vsi Izraelci hodili dol k Filistejcem, da si nabrusijo vsak mož svoj nož pri plugu, svoje črtalo pluga, svojo sekiro in svojo motiko.
21 yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes; and to set the goads.
Vendar so imeli pilo za motike, za črtala plugov, za vile, za sekire in da naostrijo palice z bodico.
22 So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.
Tako se je na dan bitke pripetilo, da ni bilo najti niti meča niti sulice v roki kateregakoli izmed ljudstva, ki so bili s Savlom in Jonatanom. Toda najti ju je bilo pri Savlu in njegovem sinu Jonatanu.
23 And the garrison of the Philistines went out unto the pass of Michmash.
Garnizija Filistejcev je odšla ven k prehodu Mihmáša.
