1 Samuel 11
1 Then Nahash the Ammonite went and laid seige to Jabesh Gilead. All the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you.”
Potem je prišel gor Amónec Naháš in se utaboril zoper Jabéš Gileád. Vsi možje Jabéša so rekli Nahášu: »Skleni zavezo z nami in mi ti bomo služili.«
2 Nahash the Ammonite replied, “On this condition will I make a treaty with you, that I gouge out all of your right eyes, and in this way bring disgrace on all Israel.”
Amónec Naháš jim je odgovoril: »Pod tem pogojem bom sklenil zavezo z vami, da vam lahko iztaknem vsa vaša desna očesa in to položim za grajo nad ves Izrael.«
3 Then the elders of Jabesh replied to him, “Leave us alone for seven days, so that we may send messengers to all the territory of Israel. Then, if there is no one to save us, we will surrender to you.”
Starešine iz Jabéša so mu rekli: »Daj nam sedem dni predaha, da lahko odpošljemo poslance v vse Izraelove pokrajine, in potem, če ne bo nobenega človeka, da nas reši, bomo prišli ven k tebi.«
4 The messengers came to Gibeah, where Saul lived, and told the people what had happened. All the people wept loudly.
Potem sta poslanca prišla v Savlovo Gíbeo in v ušesa ljudstva povedala novice in vse ljudstvo je povzdignilo svoje glasove ter zajokalo.
5 Now Saul was following the oxen out of the field. Saul said, “What is wrong with the people that they are weeping?” They told Saul what the men of Jabesh had said.
Glej, Savel je prišel za čredo iz polja in Savel je rekel: »Kaj pesti ljudstvo, da jokajo?« Povedali so mu novice od ljudi iz Jabéša.
6 When Saul heard what they said, the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he was very angry.
Božji Duh je prišel nad Savla, ko je slišal tiste novice in njegova jeza je bila silno vneta.
7 He took a yoke of oxen, cut them into pieces, and sent them throughout all the territory of Israel with the messengers. He said, “Whoever does not come out after Saul and after Samuel, this is what will be done to his oxen.” Then the terror of Yahweh fell on the people, and they came out together as one man.
Snel je jarem iz volov in ju razsekal na koščke in le-te poslal po vseh Izraelovih pokrajinah, po rokah poslancev, rekoč: »Kdorkoli ne pride naprej za Savlom in Samuelom, bo tako storjeno njegovim volom.« Gospodov strah je padel na ljudstvo in prišli so ven soglasno.
8 When he mustered them at Bezek, the people of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
Ko jih je preštel v Bezeku, je bilo Izraelovih otrok tristo tisoč in Judovih mož trideset tisoč.
9 They said to the messengers that came, “You will tell the men of Jabesh Gilead, 'Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you will be rescued.'” So the messengers went and told the men of Jabesh, and they were glad.
Poslancem, ki so prišli, so povedali: »Tako boste rekli možem iz Jabéš Gileáda: ›Jutri, ob času, ko sonce postane vroče, boste imeli pomoč.‹« Poslanci so prišli in to pokazali možem iz Jabéša in bili so veseli.
10 Then the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Tomorrow we will surrender to you, and you can do to us whatever seems good to you.”
Zato so možje iz Jabéša rekli: »Jutri bomo prišli ven k vam in z nami boste lahko storili vse, kar se vam zdi dobro.«
11 The next day Saul put the people in three groups. They came into the middle of the camp during the morning watch, and they attacked and defeated the Ammonites until the heat of the day. Those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
Naslednjega dne je bilo to tako, da je Savel ljudstvo razvrstil v tri skupine in prišli so v sredo vojske ob jutranji straži in usmrtili Amónce do dnevne vročine. Pripetilo se je, da so bili tisti, ki so preostali, razkropljeni, tako da niti dva izmed njih nista ostala skupaj.
12 Then the people said to Samuel, “Who was it who said, 'Will Saul reign over us?' Bring the men, so we can put them to death.”
Ljudstvo je reklo Samuelu: »Kdo je tisti, ki je rekel: ›Ali bo Savel kraljeval nad nami?‹ Privedite može, da jih lahko usmrtimo.«
13 But Saul said, “No one must be put to death this day, because today Yahweh has rescued Israel.”
Savel je rekel: »Danes ne bo usmrčen noben mož, kajti danes je Gospod izvêdel rešitev duš v Izraelu.«
14 Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, let us go to Gilgal and renew the monarchy there.”
Potem je Samuel rekel ljudstvu: »Pridite in pojdimo v Gilgál in tam obnovimo kraljestvo.«
15 So all the people went to Gilgal and made Saul king before Yahweh in Gilgal. There they sacrificed peace offerings before Yahweh, and Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
Vse ljudstvo je odšlo v Gilgál in tam, v Gilgálu, so postavili Savla za kralja pred Gospodom in tam so žrtvovali žrtvovanje mirovnih daritev pred Gospodom in tam so se Savel in vsi Izraelovi možje silno veselili.
