1 Samuel 18
1 When he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
И кад сврши разговор са Саулом, душа Јонатанова приону за душу Давидову, и Јонатан га запази као своју душу.
2 Saul took David into his service that day; he did not let him return to his father's house.
И узе га Саул тај дан, и не даде му да се врати кући оца свог.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant of friendship because Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
И Јонатан учини веру с Давидом, јер га љубљаше као своју душу.
4 Jonathan took off the robe that he was wearing and gave it to David with his armor, as well as his sword, bow, and belt.
И скиде Јонатан са себе плашт, који ношаше, и даде га Давиду, и одело своје и мач свој и лук свој и појас свој.
5 David went out wherever Saul sent him, and he succeeded. Saul set him over the men of war. This was pleasing in the eyes of all the people and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
И иђаше Давид на шта га год Саул пошиљаше, и беше срећан, и постави га Саул над војницима, и омиле свему народу, па и слугама Сауловим.
6 As they came home from defeating the Philistines, the women came from all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with musical instruments.
А кад се враћаху, и кад се Давид враћаше убивши Филистејина, излазише жене из сваког града Израиљевог певајући и играјући на сусрет цару Саулу, с бубњевима и с весељем и гуслама.
7 The women sang one to another as they played. They sang: “Saul has killed his thousands, and David his ten thousands.”
И отпевајући жене једне другима уза свирке говораху: Саул згуби своју хиљаду, али Давид својих десет хиљада.
8 Saul was very angry, and this song displeased him. He said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but they have ascribed only thousands to me. What more can he have but the monarchy?”
И разгневи се Саул врло, и не бише му по вољи те речи, и рече: Давиду дадоше десет хиљада, а мени дадоше хиљаду; још му само царство треба.
9 Saul looked at David with suspicion from that day on.
И од тог дана Саул гледаше попреко Давида.
10 The next day a harmful spirit from God rushed upon Saul and he raved within the house. So David played his instrument, as he did each day. Saul had a spear in his hand.
А сутрадан нападе Саула зли дух Божји, те пророковаше у кући, а Давид му удараше руком својом у гусле као пре: а Саулу у руци беше копље.
11 Saul threw the spear, for he thought, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David escaped from Saul's presence twice in this way.
И Саул баци копље говорећи: Да прикујем Давида за зид. Али му се Давид измаче два пута.
12 Saul was afraid of David, because Yahweh was with him, but was no longer with Saul.
И Саула беше страх од Давида, јер Господ беше с њим, а од Саула беше одступио.
13 So Saul removed him from his presence and appointed him a commander of a thousand. In this way David went out and came in before the people.
Зато га уклони Саул од себе, и постави га хиљадником; и он одлажаше и долажаше пред народом.
14 David was prospering in all his ways, for Yahweh was with him.
И Давид беше срећан у свему што чињаше, јер Господ беше с њим.
15 When Saul saw that he prospered, he stood in awe of him.
А Саул видећи да је веома срећан, бојаше га се.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, for he went out and came in before them.
А сав Израиљ и Јуда љубљаше Давида, јер он одлажаше и долажаше пред њима.
17 Then Saul said to David, “Here is my oldest daughter Merab. I will give her to you as a wife. Only be courageous for me and fight Yahweh's battles.” For Saul thought, “Let not my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
И рече Саул Давиду: Ево, кћер своју старију Мераву даћу ти за жену, само ми буди храбар и води ратове Господње. Јер Саул говораше: Нећу да се дигне моја рука на њ, него филистејска рука нека се дигне на њ.
18 David said to Saul, “Who am I, and who are my relatives, or my father's clan in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?”
А Давид рече Саулу: Ко сам ја и какав је живот мој или дом оца мог у Израиљу, да будем зет царев?
19 But at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as a wife.
А кад дође време да Мераву, кћер Саулову, даду Давиду, дадоше је Адрилу Меолаћанину за жену.
20 But Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David. They told Saul, and this pleased him.
Али Давида љубљаше Михала, кћи Саулова; а кад то јавише Саулу, би му по вољи.
21 Then Saul thought, “I will give her to him, so that she can be a trap for him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David a second time, “You will be my son-in-law.”
И рече Саул: Даћу му је да му буде замка и да се диже на њ рука филистејска. А Давиду рече Саул: Бићеш ми данас зет с другом.
22 Saul commanded his servants, “Speak with David in private, and say, 'See, the king takes pleasure in you, and all his servants love you. Now then, become the king's son-in-law.'”
И заповеди Саул слугама својим: Реците Давиду тајно и говорите: Гле, омилео си цару, и све слуге његове љубе те; буди сада зет царев.
23 So Saul's servants spoke these words to David. Then David said, “Is it a small matter to you to be the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?”
И слуге Саулове рекоше те речи Давиду, а Давид рече: Мислите ли да је лако бити зет царев? Та ја сам сиромах и мали човек.
24 The servants of Saul reported to him the words which David spoke.
И Саулу јавише ово слуге његове говорећи: Овако рече Давид.
25 Then Saul said, “Say this to David, 'The king does not desire any price for the bride except a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged from the king's enemies.'” Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
А Саул рече: Овако реците Давиду: Не тражи цар уздарја, него сто окрајака филистејских, да се цар освети својим непријатељима. А Саул мишљаше како би Давид пао у руке Филистејима.
26 When his servants told David these words, it pleased David to be the king's son-in-law.
И слуге његове казаше Давиду те речи, и Давиду би по вољи да постане царев зет. И време се још не наврши.
27 Before those days had expired, David went with his men and killed two hundred Philistines. David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, so that he might be the king's son-in-law. So Saul gave him Michal his daughter as his wife.
А Давид уста и отиде са својим људима, и поби двеста Филистеја. И донесе Давид окрајке њихове, и дадоше их на број цару да би постао царев зет. И Саул му даде за жену Михалу кћер своју.
28 When Saul saw, and he knew that Yahweh was with David, and that Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him,
И Саул виде и позна да је Господ са Давидом; и Михала кћи Саулова љубљаше га.
29 Saul was even more afraid of David. Saul was continually David's enemy.
А Саул се још већма побоја Давида; и беше Саул једнако непријатељ Давиду.
30 Then the princes of the Philistines came out for battle, and as often as they came out, David succeeded more than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly regarded.
А кнезови филистејски удараху; и кад год удараху, Давид беше срећнији од свих слуга Саулових, и име се његово врло прослави.
