1 Samuel 16
1 The LORD said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided a king for myself among his sons.”
A Gospod reèe Samuilu: dokle æeš ti plakati za Saulom kad ga ja odbacih da ne caruje više nad Izrailjem? Napuni rog svoj ulja, i hodi da te pošljem k Jeseju Vitlejemcu, jer izmeðu njegovijeh sinova izabrah sebi cara.
2 Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me.” The LORD said, “Take a heifer with you, and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.’
A Samuilo reèe: kako da idem? jer æe èuti Saul, pa æe me ubiti. A Gospod odgovori: uzmi sa sobom junicu iz goveda, pa reci: doðoh da prinesem žrtvu Gospodu.
3 Call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do. You shall anoint to me him whom I name to you.”
I pozovi Jeseja na žrtvu, a ja æu ti pokazati šta æeš èiniti, i pomaži mi onoga koga ti kažem.
4 Samuel did that which the LORD spoke, and came to Bethlehem. The elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and said, “Do you come peaceably?”
I uèini Samuilo kako mu kaza Gospod, i doðe u Vitlejem; a starješine gradske uplašivši se istrèaše preda nj, i rekoše mu: jesi li došao dobro?
5 He said, “Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.” He sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
A on reèe: dobro; došao sam da prinesem žrtvu Gospodu; osveštajte se i hodite sa mnom na žrtvu. Pa osvešta i Jeseja i sinove njegove i pozva ih na žrtvu.
6 When they had come, he looked at Eliab, and said, “Surely the LORD’s anointed is before him.”
I kad doðoše vidjevši Elijava reèe: jamaèno je pred Gospodom pomazanik njegov.
7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Don’t look on his face, or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for I don’t see as man sees. For man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
Ali Gospod reèe Samuilu: ne gledaj na lice njegovo ni na visinu rasta njegova, jer sam ga odbacio; jer ne gledam na što èovjek gleda: èovjek gleda što je na oèima, a Gospod gleda na srce.
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. He said, “The LORD has not chosen this one, either.”
I dozva Jesej Avinadava, i reèe mu da ide pred Samuila. A on reèe: ni toga nije izabrao Gospod.
9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. He said, “The LORD has not chosen this one, either.”
Potom Jesej reèe Sami da ide. A on reèe: ni toga nije izabrao Gospod.
10 Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. Samuel said to Jesse, “The LORD has not chosen these.”
Tako reèe Jesej te proðoše sedam sinova njegovijeh pred Samuila; a Samuilo reèe Jeseju: nije Gospod izabrao tijeh.
11 Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all your children here?” He said, “There remains yet the youngest. Behold, he is keeping the sheep.” Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and get him, for we will not sit down until he comes here.”
Potom reèe Samuilo Jeseju: jesu li ti to svi sinovi? A on reèe: ostao je još najmlaði; eno ga, pase ovce. Tada reèe Samuilo Jeseju: pošlji, te ga dovedi, jer neæemo sjedati za sto dokle on ne doðe.
12 He sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with a handsome face and good appearance. The LORD said, “Arise! Anoint him, for this is he.”
I posla, te ga dovede. A bijaše smeð, lijepijeh oèiju i lijepa stasa. I Gospod reèe: ustani, pomaži ga, jer je to.
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the middle of his brothers. Then the LORD’s Spirit came mightily on David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up and went to Ramah.
Tada Samuilo uze rog s uljem, i pomaza ga usred braæe njegove; i siðe duh Gospodnji na Davida i osta na njemu od toga dana. Potom usta Samuilo i otide u Ramu.
14 Now the LORD’s Spirit departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
A duh Gospodnji otide od Saula, i uznemiravaše ga zao duh od Gospoda.
15 Saul’s servants said to him, “See now, an evil spirit from God troubles you.
I rekoše Saulu sluge njegove: gle, sada te uznemiruje zli duh Božiji.
16 Let our lord now command your servants who are in front of you to seek out a man who is a skillful player on the harp. Then when the evil spirit from God is on you, he will play with his hand, and you will be well.”
Neka gospodar naš zapovjedi slugama svojim koje stoje pred tobom, da potraže èovjeka koji zna udarati u gusle, pa kad te napadne zli duh Božji, neka udara rukom svojom, i odlakšaæe ti.
17 Saul said to his servants, “Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me.”
I reèe Saul slugama svojim: potražite èovjeka koji zna dobro udarati u gusle, i dovedite mi ga.
18 Then one of the young men answered and said, “Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite who is skillful in playing, a mighty man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a handsome person; and the LORD is with him.”
A jedan izmeðu sluga njegovijeh odgovori i reèe: evo, ja znam sina Jeseja Vitlejemca, koji umije dobro udarati u gusle, i hrabar je junak i ubojnik, i pametan je i lijep, i Gospod je s njim.
19 Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, “Send me David your son, who is with the sheep.”
I Saul posla ljude k Jeseju i poruèi: pošlji mi Davida sina svojega koji je kod ovaca.
20 Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a container of wine, and a young goat, and sent them by David his son to Saul.
A Jesej uze magarca i hljeba i mješinu vina i jedno jare, i posla Saulu po Davidu sinu svojemu.
21 David came to Saul and stood before him. He loved him greatly; and he became his armor bearer.
I David doðe k Saulu i izide preda nj, i omilje Saulu veoma, te ga postavi da mu nosi oružje.
22 Saul sent to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight.”
Potom posla Saul k Jeseju i poruèi: neka David ostane kod mene, jer je našao milost preda mnom.
23 When the spirit from God was on Saul, David took the harp and played with his hand; so Saul was refreshed and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
I kad bi duh Božji napao Saula, David uzevši gusle udarao bi rukom svojom, te bi Saul odahnuo i bilo bi mu bolje, jer bi zli duh otišao od njega.
