< 2 Samuel 1 >

1 After the death of Saul, David returned from attacking the Amalekites and remained in Ziklag for two days.
А по смрти Сауловој, кад се Давид врати побивши Амалике и оста у Сиклагу два дана,
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.
Трећег дана, гле, дође један из војске Саулове раздртих хаљина и главе посуте прахом; и дошав к Давиду паде на земљу и поклони се.
3 David said to him, “Where did you come from?” He answered, “I escaped from the camp of Israel.”
И рече му Давид: Откуда идеш? А он му рече: Из логора израиљског утекох.
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.”
А Давид му рече: Шта би? Кажи ми. А он рече: Народ побеже из боја; и много народа паде и изгибе, погибе и Саул и син му Јонатан.
5 David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”
А Давид рече момку који му донесе глас: Како знаш да је погинуо и син му Јонатан?
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.
А момак који му донесе глас рече: Случајно дођох на гору Гелвују, а то се Саул наслонио на копље своје, кола и коњици приближаваху се к њему.
7 Saul turned around and saw me and called out to me. I answered, 'Here I am.'
А он обазревши се натраг угледа ме, па ме викну, а ја му рекох: Ево ме.
8 He said to me, 'Who are you?' I answered him, 'I am an Amalekite.'
А он ми рече: Ко си? А ја му рекох: Амалик сам.
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.'
А он ми рече: Приступи к мени убиј ме; јер ме обузеше муке, а још је сасвим душа у мени.
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.”
И приступих к њему и убих га, јер сам знао да неће остати жив пошто паде; и узех венац царски који му беше на глави и гривну која му беше на руци, и ево донесох господару свом.
11 Then David tore his clothes, and all the men with him did the same.
Тада Давид зграби хаљине на себи и раздре их; тако и сви људи који беху с њим.
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.
И ридаше и плакаше, и постише до вечери за Саулом и за Јонатаном сином његовим и за народом Господњим и за домом Израиљевим што изгибоше од мача.
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.”
И рече Давид момку који му донесе глас: Одакле си? А он рече: Ја сам син једног дошљака Амалика.
14 David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to kill Yahweh's anointed king with your own hand?”
Рече му Давид: Како те није било страх подићи руку своју и убити помазаника Господњег?
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.
И дозва Давид једног између момака својих и рече: Ходи, погуби га. А он га удари, те умре.
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.'”
И рече му Давид: Крв твоја на твоју главу; јер твоја уста сведочише на те говорећи: Ја сам убио помазаника Господњег.
17 Then David sung this funeral song about Saul and Jonathan his son.
Тада Давид нарица овако за Саулом и за Јонатаном сином његовим,
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.
И изговори, да би се учили синови Јудини луку, и ето је написано у књизи Истинитог:
19 “Your glory, Israel, is dead, killed on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!
Дико Израиљева! На твојим висинама побијени су; како падоше јунаци?
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.
Не казујте у Гату, и не разглашујте по улицама аскалонским, да се не веселе кћери филистејске и да не играју кћери необрезаних.
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.
Горе гелвујске! Не падала роса ни дажд на вас, и не родило поље за принос, јер је ту бачен штит са јунака, штит Саулов, као да није помазан уљем.
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.
Без крви побијених и без масти од јунака није се враћао лук Јонатанов, нити је мач Саулов долазио натраг празан.
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.
Саул и Јонатан, мили и драги за живота, ни у смрти се не раставише; лакши од орлова беху.
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.
Кћери Израиљеве! Плачите за Саулом, који вас је облачио у скерлет лепо, и китио вас златним закладима по хаљинама вашим.
25 How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is killed on your high places.
Како падоше јунаци у боју! Јонатан како погибе на твојим висинама!
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.
Жао ми је за тобом, брате Јонатане; био си ми мио врло; већа ми је била љубав твоја од љубави женске.
27 How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war perished!”
Како падоше јунаци, и пропаде оружје убојито!
