< 1 Samuel 22 >

1 David [and his men] left Gath and went [east] to hide in a cave on a hill at Adullam [city]. Soon his [older] brothers and all his other relatives came and stayed with him there.
Тада Давид отиде оданде и утече у пећину одоламску. А кад то чуше браћа његова и сав дом оца његовог, дођоше онамо к њему.
2 Then other men came there. Some were men who had caused trouble, some were men who owed money, and some were men who were not content [IDM] [with the government]. They continued to come until there were 400 men there, and David was their leader.
И скупише се око њега који год беху у невољи и који беху задужени и који год беху тужног срца; и он им поста поглавица; и беше их с њим око четири стотине људи.
3 Later they left there and went [east] to Mizpah [city] in the Moab region. There David requested the king of Moab, “Please allow my father and mother to live here with you until I know what God is going to do for me.”
И оданде отиде Давид у Миспу моавску, и рече цару моавском: Допусти да се отац мој и мати моја склоне код вас докле видим шта ће Бог учинити са мном.
4 [The king gave him permission, ] so David’s parents stayed with the king of Moab all the time that David and the men who were with him were hiding [in that area].
И изведе их пред цара моавског, и осташе код њега за све време докле Давид беше у оном граду.
5 One day the prophet Gad told David, “Leave (your fortress/this area) and return to Judah.” So David and his men went to Hereth forest [in Judah].
Али пророк Гад рече Давиду: Немој остати у том граду, иди и врати се у земљу Јудину. И Давид отиде и дође у шуму Арет.
6 One day, someone told Saul that David and his men had arrived in Judah. On that day, Saul was sitting underneath the tamarisk tree on a hill at Gibeah [town]. He was holding his spear, and was surrounded by his army officers.
А Саул чу да се појавио Давид и људи што беху с њим. Тада Саул сеђаше у Гаваји под шумом у Рами, с копљем у руци, а све слуге његове стајаху пред њим.
7 He shouted to them, “You men of the tribe of Benjamin, listen to me! Do you think that the son of Jesse will give all of you fields and vineyards [if he becomes your king]? Will he appoint all of you to become generals and captains [in his army] [RHQ]?
И рече Саул слугама својим које стајаху пред њим: Чујте синови Венијаминови; хоће ли вама свима син Јесејев дати њиве и винограде? Хоће ли све вас учинити хиљадницима и стотиницима?
8 Is that why you have all conspired against me [RHQ]? None of you told me when my son [Jonathan] made a solemn agreement with that son of Jesse. None of you feels sorry for me. That son of Jesse was my servant, but now my son is encouraging him to hide in order to (ambush me/attack me suddenly), as he is doing today!”
Те сте се сви сложили на ме, и нема никога да ми јави да се мој син сложио са сином Јесејевим, и нема никога међу вама да мари за ме и да ми јави да је син мој подигао слугу мог на ме да ми заседа, као што се данас види.
9 Doeg, a man from the Edom people-group, was standing there with Saul’s officers. He said to Saul, “When I was at Nob, I saw that son of Jesse talking to Ahimelech, the priest.
Тада одговори Доик Идумејац, који стајаше са слугама Сауловим, и рече: Видео сам сина Јесејевог где дође у Нов к Ахимелеху, сину Ахитововом.
10 Ahimelech asked Yahweh what David should do. Then Ahimelech gave to David some food and the sword of Goliath, [the giant] from the Philistia people-group.”
Он пита за њ Господа, и даде му брашњенице: и мач Голијата Филистејина даде му.
11 Then Saul summoned Ahimelech and all Ahimelech’s relatives who were priests at Nob. So they all came to the king.
Тада цар посла да доведу Ахимелеха, сина Ахитововог свештеника и сав дом оца његовог, свештенике, који беху у Нову. И дођоше сви к цару.
12 Saul said to Ahimelech, “You son of Ahitub, listen to me!” Ahimelech answered, “Yes, sir!”
Тада рече Саул: Чуј сада сине Ахитовов. А он одговори: Ево ме, господару.
13 Saul said, “Why are you and Jesse’s son conspiring to get rid of me? You gave him some bread and a sword. You requested God to tell David what he should do. David has rebelled against me, and right now he is [hiding somewhere], waiting [to attack me].”
А Саул му рече: Зашто сте се сложили на ме ти и син Јесејев, те си му дао хлеба и мач, и питао си Бога за њ, да би устао на ме да ми заседа, као што се види данас?
14 Ahimelech replied, “[I do not understand why you are saying that, because] David, your son-in-law, the captain of your bodyguards, is very loyal to you. No one is more loyal to you than David! Everyone in your household respects him very much.
А Ахимелех одговори цару и рече: А ко је између свих слуга твојих као Давид, веран, и зет царев и послушан теби и поштован у кући твојој?
15 Furthermore, this was certainly not [RHQ] the first time that I requested God to say what he wanted David to do. And it is not right for you to accuse me or any of my relatives [of trying to get rid of you], because I do not know anything about [anyone wanting to do that].”
Еда ли сам сад први пут питао Господа за њ? Сачувај Боже! Нека цар не беди таквим чим слугу свог нити кога у дому оца мог; јер није знао слуга твој од свега тога ништа.
16 The king then shouted, “Ahimelech, you and your all your relatives are going to be executed right now!”
Али цар рече: Погинућеш, Ахимелеше! И ти и сав дом оца твог.
17 Then he commanded his bodyguards, “Kill these priests of Yahweh, because they are allies of David, and they are conspiring with David against me! They knew that David was trying to run away from me, but they did not tell me!” But Saul’s bodyguards refused to kill Yahweh’s priests.
Тада цар рече слугама које стајаху пред њим: Окрените се и погубите свештенике Господње, јер је и њихова рука с Давидом, и знајући да је побегао не јавише ми. Али слуге цареве не хтеше подигнути руке своје да уложе на свештенике Господње.
18 Then the king said to Doeg, “You kill them!” So Doeg, the man from the Edom people-group, went out and struck them with his sword. On that day he killed eighty-five men who were wearing the sacred vests [because they were God’s priests].
Тада рече цар Доику: Окрени се ти, те уложи на свештенике. И окренувши се Доик Идумејац уложи на свештенике, и поби их онај дан осамдесет и пет, који ношаху оплећак ланени.
19 He also went and killed many people in Nob, the city where the priests lived. He killed men, women, children, babies, cattle, donkeys, and sheep there.
И у Нову, граду свештеничком, исече оштрим мачем и људе и жене и децу и која сисаху, и волове, и магарице и ситну стоку оштрим мачем.
20 But Abiathar, Ahimelech’s son, escaped. He ran away and joined David [and the men who were with him].
Али утече један син Ахимелеха, сина Ахитововог, по имену Авијатар, и побеже к Давиду.
21 He told David that Saul had commanded [Doeg] to kill Yahweh’s priests.
И Авијатар јави Давиду да је Саул побио свештенике Господње.
22 Then David said to him, “That man from the Edom people-group, Doeg, was there at Nob on the day [that I was there]. I knew that he would surely tell Saul [what happened]. So it is my fault that your father and all of his family have been killed.
А Давид рече Авијатару: Знао сам оног дана кад је био онде Доик Идумејац да ће зацело казати Саулу; ја сам крив за све душе дома оца твог.
23 You stay with me, and do not be afraid. The man who wants to kill you wants to kill me also, but you will be safe if you stay with me.”
Остани код мене, не бој се; јер ко тражи моју душу тражиће и твоју; код мене ћеш бити сачуван.
