< 2 Samuel 1 >

1 After the death of Saul, David returned from attacking the Amalekites and remained in Ziklag for two days.
A po smrti Saulovoj, kad se David vrati pobivši Amalike i osta u Siklagu dva dana,
2 On the third day, a man came from Saul's camp with his clothes torn and with dirt on his head. When he came to David he lay facedown on the ground and prostrated himself.
Treæega dana, gle, doðe jedan iz vojske Saulove razdrtijeh haljina i glave posute prahom; i došav k Davidu pade na zemlju i pokloni se.
3 David said to him, “Where did you come from?” He answered, “I escaped from the camp of Israel.”
I reèe mu David: otkuda ideš? A on mu reèe: iz okola Izrailjskoga utekoh.
4 David said to him, “Please tell me how things went.” He answered, “The people fled from the battle. Many have fallen and many are dead. Saul and Jonathan his son are also dead.”
A David mu reèe: šta bi? kaži mi. A on reèe: narod pobježe iz boja; i mnogo naroda pade i izgibe, pogibe i Saul i sin mu Jonatan.
5 David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”
A David reèe momku koji mu donese glas: kako znaš da je poginuo Saul i sin mu Jonatan?
6 The young man replied, “By chance I happened to be on Mount Gilboa, and there Saul was leaning on his spear, and chariots and riders were about to catch up with him.
A momak koji mu donese glas reèe: sluèajno doðoh na goru Gelvuju, a to se Saul naslonio na koplje svoje, kola i konjici približavahu se k njemu.
7 Saul turned around and saw me and called out to me. I answered, 'Here I am.'
A on obazrevši se natrag ugleda me, pa me viknu, a ja mu rekoh: evo me.
8 He said to me, 'Who are you?' I answered him, 'I am an Amalekite.'
A on mi reèe: ko si? A ja mu rekoh: Amalik sam.
9 He said to me, 'Please stand over me and kill me, for great suffering has taken hold of me, but life is still in me.'
A on mi reèe: pristupi k meni i ubij me; jer me obuzeše muke, a još je sasvijem duša u meni.
10 So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew that he would not live after he had fallen. Then I took the crown that was on his head and the band that was on his arm, and brought them here to you, my master.”
I pristupih k njemu i ubih ga, jer sam znao da neæe ostati živ pošto pade; i uzeh vijenac carski koji mu bješe na glavi i grivnu koja mu bješe na ruci, i evo donesoh gospodaru svojemu.
11 Then David tore his clothes, and all the men with him did the same.
Tada David zgrabi haljine na sebi i razdrije ih; tako i svi ljudi koji bijahu s njim.
12 They mourned, wept, and fasted until evening for Saul, for Jonathan his son, for the people of Yahweh, and for the house of Israel because they had fallen by the sword.
I ridaše i plakaše, i postiše do veèera za Saulom i za Jonatanom sinom njegovijem i za narodom Gospodnjim i za domom Izrailjevijem što izgiboše od maèa.
13 David said to the young man, “Where are you from?” He answered, “I am the son of a foreigner in the land, an Amalekite.”
I reèe David momku koji mu donese glas: odakle si? A on reèe: ja sam sin jednoga došljaka Amalika.
14 David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to kill Yahweh's anointed king with your own hand?”
Reèe mu David: kako te nije bilo strah podiæi ruku svoju i ubiti pomazanika Gospodnjega?
15 David called one of the young men and said, “Go and kill him.” So that man went and struck him down, and the Amalekite died.
I dozva David jednoga izmeðu momaka svojih i reèe: hodi, pogubi ga. A on ga udari, te umrije.
16 Then David said to the dead Amalekite, “Your blood is on your head because your own mouth has testified against you and said, 'I have killed Yahweh's anointed king.'”
I reèe mu David: krv tvoja na tvoju glavu; jer tvoja usta svjedoèiše na te govoreæi: ja sam ubio pomazanika Gospodnjega.
17 Then David sung this funeral song about Saul and Jonathan his son.
Tada David narica ovako za Saulom i za Jonatanom sinom njegovijem,
18 He commanded the people to teach this Song of the Bow to the sons of Judah, which has been written in the Book of Jashar.
I izgovori, da bi se uèili sinovi Judini luku, i eto je napisano u knjizi istinitoga:
19 “Your glory, Israel, is dead, killed on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!
Diko Izrailjeva! na tvojim visinama pobijeni su; kako padoše junaci?
20 Do not tell it in Gath, do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon, so that the daughters of the Philistines may not rejoice, so that the daughters of the uncircumcised may not celebrate.
Ne kazujte u Gatu, i ne razglašujte po ulicama Askalonskim, da se ne vesele kæeri Filistejske i da ne igraju kæeri neobrezanijeh.
21 Mountains of Gilboa, let there not be dew or rain on you, nor fields giving grain for offerings, for there the shield of the mighty was defiled. The shield of Saul is no longer anointed with oil.
Gore Gelvujske! ne padala rosa ni dažd na vas, i ne rodilo polje za prinos, jer je tu baèen štit s junaka, štit Saulov, kao da nije pomazan uljem.
22 From the blood of those who have been killed, from the bodies of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not turn back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.
Bez krvi pobijenijeh i bez masti od junaka nije se vraæao luk Jonatanov, niti je maè Saulov dolazio natrag prazan.
23 Saul and Jonathan were loved and gracious in life, and in their death they were not separated. They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
Saul i Jonatan, mili i dragi za života, ni na smrti se ne rastaviše; lakši od orlova bijahu.
24 You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet as well as jewels, and who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.
Kæeri Izrailjeve! plaèite za Saulom, koji vas je oblaèio u skerlet lijepo, i kitio vas zlatnijem zakladima po haljinama vašim.
25 How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is killed on your high places.
Kako padoše junaci u boju! Jonatan kako pogibe na tvojim visinama!
26 I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You were very dear to me. Your love to me was wonderful, exceeding the love of women.
Žao mi je za tobom, brate Jonatane; bio si mi mio vrlo; veæa mi je bila ljubav tvoja od ljubavi ženske.
27 How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war perished!”
Kako padoše junaci, i propade oružje ubojito!
