1 Samuel 24
1 When Saul returned from chasing the Philistines, he was told, “David is in the wilderness of Engedi.”
I kad se Saul vrati odagnavši Filisteje, rekoše mu govoreæi: eno Davida u pustinji Engadskoj.
2 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men from all Israel and went to seek David and his men on the Rocks of the Wild Goats.
Tada uze Saul tri tisuæe ljudi izabranijeh iz svega Izrailja, i otide da traži Davida i ljude njegove po vrletima gdje su divokoze.
3 He came to sheep pens on the way, where there was a cave. Saul went inside to cover his feet. Now David and his men were sitting far back in the cave.
I doðe k torovima ovèijim ukraj puta gdje bijaše peæina; i Saul uðe u nju rad sebe; a David i njegovi ljudi sjeðahu u kraju u peæini.
4 David's men said to him, “This is the day of which Yahweh spoke when he said to you, 'I will give your enemy into your hand, for you to do with him as you wish.'” Then David arose and quietly crept forward and cut off the corner of Saul's robe.
I rekoše Davidu ljudi njegovi: evo dana, za koji ti reèe Gospod: evo ja ti predajem neprijatelja tvojega u ruke da uèiniš s njim što ti je volja. I David usta, te polako otsijeèe skut od plašta Saulova.
5 Afterward David's heart afflicted him because he had cut a corner off Saul's robe.
A poslije zadrhta srce Davidu što otsijeèe skut Saulu.
6 He said to his men, “May Yahweh forbid that I should do this thing to my master, Yahweh's anointed, to put out my hand against him, seeing he is Yahweh's anointed.”
I reèe svojim ljudima: ne dao Bog da to uèinim gospodaru svojemu, pomazaniku Gospodnjemu, da podignem ruku svoju na nj. Jer je pomazanik Gospodnji.
7 So David rebuked his men with these words, and did not permit them to attack Saul. Saul stood up, left the cave, and went on his way.
I odvrati rijeèima David ljude svoje i ne dade im da ustanu na Saula. I Saul izašav iz peæine poðe svojim putem.
8 Afterward, David also stood up, left the cave, and called out after Saul: “My master the king.” When Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the ground and showed him respect.
Potom David usta, i izašav iz peæine stade vikati za Saulom govoreæi: care gospodine! A Saul se obazre, a David se savi licem do zemlje i pokloni se.
9 David said to Saul, “Why do you listen to the men who say, 'See, David is seeking your harm?'
I reèe David Saulu: zašto slušaš što ti kažu ljudi koji govore: eto David traži zlo tvoje?
10 Today your eyes have seen how Yahweh put you into my hand when we were in the cave. Some told me to kill you, but I spared you. I said, 'I will not put out my hand against my master; for he is Yahweh's anointed.'
Evo, danas vidješe oèi tvoje da te je Gospod bio predao danas u moje ruke u ovoj peæini, i rekoše mi da te ubijem: ali te poštedjeh, i rekoh: neæu dignuti ruke svoje na gospodara svojega, jer je pomazanik Gospodnji.
11 See, my father, see the corner of your robe in my hand. For the fact that I cut off the corner of your robe and did not kill you, you may know and see that there is no evil or treason in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, even though you hunt my life to take it.
Evo, oèe moj, evo vidi skut od plašta svojega u mojoj ruci; otsjekoh skut od plašta tvojega, a tebe ne ubih; poznaj i vidi da nema zla ni nepravde u ruci mojoj, i da ti nijesam zgriješio; a ti vrebaš dušu moju da je uzmeš.
12 May Yahweh judge between you and me, and may Yahweh avenge me against you, but my hand shall not be against you.
Gospod neka sudi izmeðu mene i tebe, i neka me osveti od tebe; ali ruka se moja neæe podignuti na te.
13 As the proverb of the ancients says, 'Out of the wicked comes wickedness.' But my hand will not be against you.
Kako kaže stara prièa: od bezbožnijeh izlazi bezbožnost; zato se ruka moja neæe podignuti na te.
14 After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom do you pursue? After a dead dog! After a flea!
Za kim je izašao car Izrailjev? koga goniš? mrtva psa, buhu jednu.
15 May Yahweh be judge and give judgment between you and me, and see to it, and plead my cause and permit me to escape from your hand.”
Gospod neka bude sudija, i neka rasudi izmeðu mene i tebe; on neka vidi i raspravi moju parnicu i izbavi me iz ruke tvoje.
16 When David had finished speaking these words to Saul, Saul said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” Saul lifted up his voice and wept.
A kad izgovori David ove rijeèi Saulu, reèe Saul: je li to tvoj glas, sine Davide? I podigavši Saul glas svoj zaplaka.
17 He said to David, “You are more righteous than I am. For you have repaid me good, where I have repaid you evil.
I reèe Davidu: praviji si od mene, jer si mi vratio dobro za zlo koje sam ja tebi uèinio.
18 You have declared today how you have done good to me, for you did not kill me when Yahweh had put me at your mercy.
I danas si mi pokazao da mi dobro èiniš; jer me Gospod dade tebi u ruke, a ti me opet ne ubi.
19 For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go safely? May Yahweh reward you with good for what you have done to me today.
I ko bi našavši neprijatelja svojega pustio ga da ide dobrijem putem? Gospod neka ti vrati dobro za ovo što si mi uèinio danas.
20 Now, I know that you will surely be king and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hand.
I sada, evo, znam da æeš zacijelo biti car, i jako æe biti u tvojoj ruci carstvo Izrailjevo.
21 Swear to me by Yahweh that you will not cut off my descendants after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father's house.”
Zato mi se sada zakuni Gospodom da neæeš istrijebiti sjemena mojega poslije mene, ni imena mojega zatrti u domu oca mojega.
22 So David made an oath to Saul. Then Saul went home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
I zakle se David Saulu; i Saul otide kuæi svojoj, a David i ljudi njegovi otidoše na tvrdo mjesto.
