2 Samuel 1
1 After Saul died, David [and the men who were with him] returned to Ziklag [town] after defeating the descendants of Amalek. They stayed in Ziklag for two days.
Po śmierci Saula, gdy Dawid po rozgromieniu Amalekitów wrócił i zatrzymał się w Siklag przez dwa dni;
2 On the third day, unexpectedly a man arrived there who had come from where Saul’s army was camped. He had torn his clothes and put dust on his head [to show that he was grieving]. He came to David, and prostrated himself on the ground [in front of David to show respect for him].
Trzeciego dnia pewien człowiek przybył z obozu Saula z podartymi szatami i z prochem na głowie. Gdy przyszedł do Dawida, padł na ziemię i pokłonił [mu] się.
3 David asked him, “Where have you come from?” The man replied, “I escaped from where the Israeli army had been camped.”
Dawid zapytał go: Skąd przybywasz? Odpowiedział mu: Uciekłem z obozu Izraela.
4 David asked him, “What happened? Tell me [about the battle]!” The man replied, “The Israeli soldiers ran away from the battle. Many of them were killed. And Saul and his son Jonathan (are dead/were also killed).”
Dawid znowu zapytał: Co się stało? Proszę, powiedz mi. Odpowiedział: Lud uciekł z pola bitwy, a wielu ludzi padło i poległo, także Saul i jego syn Jonatan polegli.
5 David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
Wtedy Dawid zapytał młodzieńca, który mu to powiedział: Skąd wiesz, że Saul i jego syn Jonatan umarli?
6 The young man replied, “It happened that I was on Gilboa Mountain [where the battle occurred], and I saw Saul, leaning on his spear. The [enemy] chariots and their drivers had come very close to Saul.
Młodzieniec, który mu to oznajmił, odpowiedział: Przypadkiem znalazłem się na górze Gilboa, a oto Saul opierał się na swojej włóczni, a rydwany i jeźdźcy doganiali go.
7 Saul turned around and saw me, and he called out to me. I answered him and said, ‘What do you want me to do?’
Kiedy obejrzał się i zobaczył mnie, zawołał na mnie. Odpowiedziałem: Oto jestem.
8 He replied, ‘Who are you?’ I replied, ‘I am a descendant of Amalek.’
I zapytał mnie: Kim jesteś? Odpowiedziałem mu: Jestem Amalekitą.
9 Then he said to me, ‘Come over here and kill me. I am still alive, but I am enduring a lot of pain.’
Wtedy powiedział mi: Stań, proszę, nade mną i zabij mnie, bo ogarnęła mnie udręka, a moje życie [jest] jeszcze we mnie.
10 So I went to him and killed him, because I knew that he was wounded very badly and would (not continue to live/soon die). I took the crown that was on his head and the band/bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them to you.”
Stanąłem więc nad nim i zabiłem go, bo wiedziałem, że nie przeżyje po swoim upadku. Potem wziąłem koronę, która [była] na jego głowie, oraz naramiennik, który [miał] na ramieniu, i przyniosłem je tutaj do swojego pana.
11 Then David and all the men who were with him tore their clothes [to show that they were very sad].
Wtedy Dawid chwycił swoje szaty i rozdarł je, [tak uczynili] również wszyscy ludzie, którzy z nim byli.
12 They mourned for Saul and his son Jonathan, and they cried and (fasted/abstained from eating food) until it was evening. They also mourned for all the army of Yahweh, and for all the Israeli people, because many of their soldiers had been killed in the battle [MTY].
Lamentowali i płakali, i pościli aż do wieczora po Saulu i jego synu Jonatanie, po ludzie PANA i po domu Izraela, że padli od miecza.
13 Then David asked the young man who had told him [about the battle], “Where are you from?” He replied, “My father is a descendant of Amalek, but we live in Israel.”
I Dawid zapytał młodzieńca, który mu [to] powiedział: Skąd jesteś? Odpowiedział: Jestem synem przybysza, Amalekity.
14 David asked him, “(Why were you not afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king]?/You should have been afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king].) [RHQ]
Dawid znowu zapytał go: Jakże nie bałeś się wyciągnąć swej ręki, aby zabić pomazańca PANA?
15 You yourself said, ‘I killed the man whom Yahweh appointed to be the king.’ So you have caused yourself to be guilty [MTY] of causing your own death!” Then David summoned one of his soldiers and said to him, “Kill him!” So the soldier killed him by striking him [with a sword].
Następnie Dawid zawołał jednego ze sług i rozkazał: Podejdź i zabij go. Ten uderzył go [tak], że umarł.
Dawid powiedział do niego: Twoja krew na twoją głowę, bo twoje usta świadczyły przeciw tobie, gdy mówiły: Zabiłem pomazańca PANA.
17 Then David composed/wrote this sad song about Saul and Jonathan,
Wtedy Dawid podniósł lament nad Saulem i jego synem Jonatanem;
18 and he commanded that it be taught to the people of Judah. [The song is called] ‘The Bow [and Arrow]’ and it has been written in the Book of Jashar:
Polecił także, aby synów Judy uczono [strzelać] z łuku. Oto co napisane jest w księdze Jaszara:
19 “You Israeli people, your glorious [MTY] leaders have been killed on the mountains! [It is very sad that] those mighty men have died!
Piękno Izraela poległo na twoich wzgórzach. Jakże padli mocarze!
20 “Do not tell it [to our enemies in the Philistia area]; do not tell to the people who live in Gath [city] what happened; do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon [city], because if you tell them, [even] the women in that area will be happy; do not allow those (pagan women/women who do not know God) to rejoice.
Nie opowiadajcie o tym w Gat ani nie rozgłaszajcie [tego] po ulicach w Aszkelonie, aby się nie cieszyły córki Filistynów, by się nie radowały córki nieobrzezanych.
21 I hope/desire that there will be no rain or dew on the mountains of [the] Gilboa [area] [APO], and that no grain will grow in the fields there, because there the shield of Saul, the mighty [king], fell on the ground. No one rubbed [olive] oil on Saul’s shield;
O góry Gilboa! Niech nie [pada] na was ani rosa, ani deszcz i niech tam nie [będzie] pól żyznych. Tam bowiem została skalana tarcza mocarzy, tarcza Saula, [jakby] nie była namaszczona oliwą.
22 instead, it was stained with the blood of those whom he had killed, and the fat of mighty enemy soldiers was smeared on it. Jonathan [PRS] did not retreat carrying his bow [and arrows], and Saul always [defeated his enemies when he fought them] with his sword. [PRS, LIT]
Od krwi zabitych, od tłuszczu mocarzy nie cofał się łuk Jonatana, a miecz Saula nie wracał daremnie.
23 “Saul and Jonathan were loved and they pleased many people. They were together [LIT] while they lived and when they died. [In battles] they were swifter than eagles and they were stronger than lions.
Saul i Jonatan, ukochani i mili za życia, a w śmierci nie byli rozdzieleni, szybsi od orłów, silniejsi od lwów.
24 “You Israeli women, cry about Saul; He provided beautiful scarlet/red clothes for you and he gave you gold ornaments/jewelry to fasten on those clothes.
Córki Izraela, płaczcie nad Saulem, który was przyodziewał w piękny szkarłat i który włożył złote klejnoty na wasze szaty.
25 “[It is very sad that] this mighty soldier has died! Jonathan has been killed on the mountains/hills.
Jakże padli mocarze pośród bitwy! Jonatanie, na twych wzgórzach zostałeś zabity.
26 Jonathan, my dear friend, I grieve for you; you were very dear to me. You loved me in a wonderful manner; it was better than the way that a woman loves [her husband and her children].
Żal mi ciebie, mój bracie, Jonatanie. Byłeś mi bardzo miły. Twoja miłość była dla mnie cenniejsza niż miłość kobiety.
27 “It is very sad that those mighty men have died, and their weapons are now abandoned!
Jakże padli mocarze i przepadły narzędzia wojny!
