1 Samuel 22
1 David therefore departed from there and escaped to Adullam’s cave. When his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him.
David ode odande i skloni se u spilju Adulam. A kad su to čula njegova braća i sva njegova obitelj, dođoše onamo da mu se priključe.
2 Everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered themselves to him; and he became captain over them. There were with him about four hundred men.
Osim toga skupiše se oko njega svi koji bijahu u nevolji, svi zaduženi, svi nezadovoljni, i on im posta vođom. A bijaše ih oko njega do četiri stotine ljudi.
3 David went from there to Mizpeh of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother come out to you, until I know what God will do for me.”
Odande ode David u Mispu u zemlji moapskoj i reče kralju moapskome: “Dopusti da se moj otac i moja mati sklonu kod vas dok ne vidim što će Bog učiniti sa mnom.”
4 He brought them before the king of Moab; and they lived with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.
I ostavi ih kod kralja moapskoga i oni ostadoše kod njega sve dok David bijaše u skrovištu.
5 The prophet Gad said to David, “Don’t stay in the stronghold. Depart, and go into the land of Judah.” Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.
Ali prorok Gad reče Davidu: “Nemoj ostati u svome skrovištu, nego idi i zađi u zemlju Judinu.” I David ode i zađe u Heretsku šumu.
6 Saul heard that David was discovered, with the men who were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing around him.
Šaul doznade da se pojavio David s ljudima koji bijahu s njim. Šaul je upravo bio u Gibei; sjedio je pod tamariskom na uzvišici, s kopljem u ruci, a oko njega stajali svi njegovi dvorani.
7 Saul said to his servants who stood around him, “Hear now, you Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse give everyone of you fields and vineyards? Will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds?
I reče Šaul svojim dvoranima koji stajahu oko njega: “Poslušajte me, sinovi Benjaminovi! Hoće li vam i Jišajev sin svima darovati njive i vinograde? Hoće li vas sve postaviti za tisućnike i stotnike?
8 Is that why all of you have conspired against me, and there is no one who discloses to me when my son makes a treaty with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me, or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as it is today?”
A zašto ste se onda svi urotili protiv mene? Nema nikoga da mi dojavi kad moj sin sklapa savez s Jišajevim sinom, nema nikoga među vama da me požali i da mi otkrije kako je moj sin podjario moga slugu na me, kao što se događa danas.”
9 Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered and said, “I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
Tada progovori Doeg Edomac, koji je stajao među Šaulovim dvoranima, i reče: “Ja sam vidio Jišajeva sina kad je došao u Nob k Ahimeleku, Ahitubovu sinu.
10 He inquired of Yahweh for him, gave him food, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”
Ovaj je zatražio za njega savjet od Jahve i dao mu hrane i predao mu mač Filistejca Golijata.”
11 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests who were in Nob; and they all came to the king.
Šaul nato zapovjedi da pozovu svećenika Ahimeleka, Ahitubova sina, i svu njegovu obitelj, svećenike u Nobu. I dođoše svi pred kralja.
12 Saul said, “Hear now, you son of Ahitub.” He answered, “Here I am, my lord.”
Tada reče Šaul: “Čuj me, Ahitubov sine!” A on odgovori: “Evo me, gospodaru!”
13 Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as it is today?”
A Šaul ga upita: “Zašto ste se urotili protiv mene, ti i Jišajev sin? Ti si mu dao kruha i mač i tražio si za njega savjet od Boga da se digne protiv mene kao neprijatelj, kao što se danas događa.”
14 Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, “Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, captain of your body guard, and honored in your house?
Ahimelek odgovori kralju: “A tko je među svim tvojim slugama ravan Davidu, tako vjeran, uz to kraljev zet, glavar tvoje tjelesne straže, čovjek koji je poštovan u tvojoj kući?
15 Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? Be it far from me! Don’t let the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for your servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.”
Zar sam danas prvi put tražio za njega savjet od Boga? Daleko od mene svaka druga misao! Neka kralj ništa ne okrivljuje svoga sluge i sve njegove obitelji, jer sluga njegov nije znao od svega toga ništa!”
16 The king said, “You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house.”
Ali kralj odvrati: “Ti ćeš umrijeti, Ahimeleče, ti i sva tvoja obitelj!”
17 The king said to the guard who stood about him, “Turn and kill the priests of Yahweh, because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled and didn’t disclose it to me.” But the servants of the king wouldn’t put out their hand to fall on the priests of Yahweh.
I kralj zapovjedi glasonošama koji stajahu oko njega: “Pristupite i pogubite svećenike Jahvine jer su i oni pomogli Davidu: znali su da je na bijegu, a nisu mi to dojavili.” Ali kraljevi stražari ne htjedoše dići ruke na Jahvine svećenike da ih smaknu.
18 The king said to Doeg, “Turn and attack the priests!” Doeg the Edomite turned, and he attacked the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five people who wore a linen ephod.
Tada kralj zapovjedi Doegu: “Pristupi ti i smakni svećenike!” Doeg Edomac pristupi i smaknu svećenike: on pogubi u onaj dan osamdeset i pet ljudi koji su nosili laneni oplećak.
19 He struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword—both men and women, children and nursing babies, and cattle, donkeys, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
I Nob, svećenički grad, pohara oštricom mača, pobivši muškarce i žene, djecu i dojenčad, goveda, magarce i ovce.
20 One of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled after David.
Izbavio se samo jedan sin Ahimeleka, Ahitubova sina, po imenu Ebjatar i pobjegao k Davidu.
21 Abiathar told David that Saul had slain Yahweh’s priests.
Ebjatar javi Davidu da je Šaul poklao Jahvine svećenike.
22 David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for the death of all the persons of your father’s house.
A David odvrati Ebjataru: “Ja sam već onoga dana kad ondje bijaše Doeg Edomac znao da će on zacijelo javiti to Šaulu! Ja sam kriv za živote tvoga očinskog doma.
23 Stay with me. Don’t be afraid, for he who seeks my life seeks your life. You will be safe with me.”
Ostani kod mene, ne boj se: tko bude tražio tvoj život, tražit će moj. Kod mene ćeš biti dobro čuvan.”
