1 Samuel 18
1 After David finished talking with Saul, [he met Saul’s son, Jonathan.] Jonathan [immediately] liked David; in fact, he began to love/like him as much as he loved/liked himself.
I kad svrši razgovor sa Saulom, duša Jonatanova prionu za dušu Davidovu, i Jonatan ga zapazi kao svoju dušu.
2 From that day, Saul kept David with him, and did not let him return home.
I uze ga Saul taj dan, i ne dade mu da se vrati kuæi oca svojega.
3 Because Jonathan loved David so much, he made a solemn agreement with David. [They promised each other that they would always be loyal friends].
I Jonatan uèini vjeru s Davidom, jer ga ljubljaše kao svoju dušu.
4 Jonathan took off his own outer robe and gave it to David. He also gave David his soldier’s tunic, his sword, his bow [and arrows], and his belt.
I skide Jonatan sa sebe plašt, koji nošaše, i dade ga Davidu, i odijelo svoje i maè svoj i luk svoj i pojas svoj.
5 [David went wherever Saul sent him. And] whatever Saul told him to do, David did it very successfully. As a result, Saul appointed David to be a commander in the army. All the officers and other men in the army (approved of/were very pleased with) that.
I iðaše David na što ga god Saul pošiljaše, i bijaše sreæan, i postavi ga Saul nad vojnicima, i omilje svemu narodu, pa i slugama Saulovijem.
6 But, when the men in the army were returning home after David had killed Goliath, the women came out from many [HYP] towns in Israel to meet/greet King Saul. They were singing and dancing very joyfully, playing tambourines and lyres.
A kad se vraæahu, i kad se David vraæaše ubivši Filistejina, izlaziše žene iz svakoga grada Izrailjeva pjevajuæi i igrajuæi na susret caru Saulu, s bubnjima i s veseljem i guslama.
7 As they danced, they sang this song to each other: “Saul has killed 1,000 [enemy soldiers], But David has killed 10,000 [of them].”
I otpijevajuæi žene jedne drugima uza svirke govorahu: Saul zgubi svoju tisuæu, ali David svojih deset tisuæa.
8 [When] Saul [heard them singing that, he] did not like it. He became very angry. He said [to himself], “They are saying that David [killed] 10,000 men, but that I [have killed] only 1,000. Soon they will want to make him their king!” [RHQ]
I razgnjevi se Saul vrlo, i ne biše mu po volji te rijeèi, i reèe: Davidu dadoše deset tisuæa, a meni dadoše tisuæu; još mu samo carstvo treba.
9 From that time, Saul watched David very closely because he was suspicious [that David would try to become king].
I od toga dana Saul gledaše poprijeko Davida.
10 The next day, an evil spirit sent by God suddenly took control of Saul. He began to act like a madman, inside his house. David was playing the lyre for him, as he did every day. Saul was holding a spear in his hand,
A sjutradan napade Saula zli duh Božji, te prorokovaše u kuæi, a David mu udaraše rukom svojom u gusle kao prije: a Saulu u ruci bješe koplje.
11 and he hurled it [at David], saying to himself, “I will fasten David to the wall with the spear!” He did that two times, but David jumped aside [both times].
I Saul baci koplje govoreæi: da prikujem Davida za zid. Ali mu se David izmaèe dva puta.
12 Because [it became evident that] Yahweh had abandoned Saul but [that] he was helping David, Saul was afraid of David.
I Saula bješe strah od Davida, jer Gospod bješe s njim, a od Saula bješe otstupio.
13 So he appointed David as a commander of 1,000 soldiers and sent David away from him, [hoping that David would be killed in a battle]. But when David led his soldiers [in their battles],
Zato ga ukloni Saul od sebe, i postavi ga tisuænikom; i on odlažaše i dolažaše pred narodom.
14 he always had great success, because Yahweh was helping him.
I David bijaše sreæan u svemu što èinjaše, jer Gospod bijaše s njim.
15 When Saul heard that David [and his soldiers were] very successful, he became more afraid of David.
A Saul videæi da je veoma sreæan, bojaše ga se.
16 But all the people of Israel and of Judah loved David, because he led the soldiers very successfully [in the battles].
A sav Izrailj i Juda ljubljaše Davida, jer on odlažaše i dolažaše pred njima.
17 One day Saul said to David, “I am ready to give you my oldest daughter, Merab, to be your wife. I will do that if you serve me bravely by fighting battles for Yahweh [against the Philistines]”. He said that because he thought, “I will not try to get rid of David by myself. I will allow the Philistines to do that.”
I reèe Saul Davidu: evo, kæer svoju stariju Meravu daæu ti za ženu, samo mi budi hrabar i vodi ratove Gospodnje. Jer Saul govoraše: neæu da se digne moja ruka na nj, nego Filistejska ruka neka se digne na nj.
18 But David said to Saul, “I am not [RHQ] a very important person, and my family is not very important, and my clan is not a very important Israeli clan. So I do not deserve to become your son-in-law.” [RHQ]
A David reèe Saulu: ko sam ja i kakav je život moj ili dom oca mojega u Izrailju, da budem zet carev?
19 So, when it was time for Merab to be given to David to become his wife, instead, Saul gave her to a man named Adriel, from Meholah [town].
A kad doðe vrijeme da Meravu kæer Saulovu dadu Davidu, dadoše je Adrilu Meolaæaninu za ženu.
20 But Saul’s other daughter, Michal, fell in love with David. When they told Saul about that, he was pleased.
Ali Davida ljubljaše Mihala kæi Saulova; a kad to javiše Saulu, bi mu po volji.
21 He thought, “I will let Michal marry him, in order that she may trap him, and the Philistines will be able to kill him.” So he said to David, [“You can marry Michal],” and by saying that, he indicated for the second time that David would become his son-in-law.
I reèe Saul: daæu mu je da mu bude zamka i da se diže na nj ruka Filistejska. A Davidu reèe Saul: biæeš mi danas zet s drugom.
22 Saul told his servants, “Talk to David privately, and say to him, ‘Listen, the king is pleased with you, and all of us his servants love you. So now [we think that] you should [marry Michal and] become the king’s son-in-law.’”
I zapovjedi Saul slugama svojim: recite Davidu tajno i govorite: gle, omilio si caru, i sve sluge njegove ljube te; budi sada zet carev.
23 So they told that to David. But David said, “It would be a great honor [RHQ] to become the king’s son-in-law. But [I do not think that I should do that, because] I am only a poor and insignificant man.”
I sluge Saulove rekoše te rijeèi Davidu, a David reèe: mislite li da je lako biti zet carev? ta ja sam siromah i mali èovjek.
24 When the servants told Saul what David had said,
I Saulu javiše ovo sluge njegove govoreæi: ovako reèe David.
25 Saul replied, “Go and say to David, ‘[In order for] the king [to allow you to marry Michal, he] wants [you to kill] 100 Philistines [and cut off] their foreskins [and bring the foreskins to him to prove that you have killed them]. In that way he will get revenge on his enemies.’” But what Saul wanted was that the Philistines would kill David [while David was trying to kill them].
A Saul reèe: ovako recite Davidu: ne traži car uzdarja, nego sto okrajaka Filistejskih, da se car osveti svojim neprijateljima. A Saul mišljaše kako bi David pao u ruke Filistejima.
26 When the servants told that to David, he was very pleased that he could become the king’s son-in-law [by doing that. The king had said how many days he would allow for David to do that]. But before that time ended,
I sluge njegove kazaše Davidu te rijeèi, i Davidu bi po volji da postane carev zet. I vrijeme se još ne navrši.
27 David and his men went and killed, [not 100, but] 200 Philistines! He brought their foreskins to Saul, and counted them [while Saul was watching], in order to prove that he had [done what the king required so that he could become Saul’s son-in-law. So then Saul was obligated] to allow David to marry his daughter Michal.
A David usta i otide sa svojim ljudima, i pobi dvjesta Filisteja. I donese David okrajke njihove, i dadoše ih na broj caru da bi postao carev zet. I Saul mu dade za ženu Mihalu kæer svoju.
28 But when Saul realized that Yahweh was helping David, and that his daughter loved David,
I Saul vidje i pozna da je Gospod sa Davidom; i Mihala kæi Saulova ljubljaše ga.
29 he became more afraid of David. So, as long as Saul lived, he was David’s enemy.
A Saul se još veæma poboja Davida; i bijaše Saul jednako neprijatelj Davidu.
30 The Philistine armies repeatedly came to fight the Israelis, but every time they fought, David and his soldiers were more successful than any of Saul’s other army commanders. As a result, David became very famous.
A knezovi Filistejski udarahu; i kad god udarahu, David bijaše sreæniji od svijeh sluga Saulovijeh, i ime se njegovo vrlo proslavi.
