1 Samuel 11
1 And it was don as aftir a monethe, Naas of Amon stiede, and bigan to fiyte ayens Jabes of Galaad. And alle the men of Jabes seiden to Naas, Haue thou vs boundun in pees, and we schulen serue thee.
Otprilike poslije mjesec dana dođe Amonac Nahaš i utabori se kod Jabeša Gileadskog. Svi Jabešani poručiše Nahašu: “Sklopi savez s nama pa ćemo ti se pokoriti.”
2 And Naas of Amon answeride to hem, In this Y schal smyte boond of pees with you, that Y putte out the riyt iyen of alle you, and that Y sette you schenschip in al Israel.
Ali im Amonac Nahaš odgovori: “Ovako ću sklopiti savez s vama: svakome ću od vas iskopati desno oko, i tako ću učiniti sramotu svemu Izraelu.”
3 And the eldere men of Jabes seiden to him, Graunte thou to vs seuene daies, that we senden messangeris to alle the termes of Israel; and if noon be that defende vs, we schulen go out to thee.
A jabeške mu starješine rekoše: “Ostavi nam sedam dana da pošaljemo glasnike u sve krajeve Izraelove, pa ako se ne nađe nitko da nas izbavi, predat ćemo se tebi.”
4 Therfor messangeris camen in to Gabaad of Saul, and spaken these wordis, `while the puple herde; and al the puple reiside her vois, and wepte.
I dođoše poslanici u Šaulovu Gibeu te izložiše sve narodu da čuje. Tada sav narod zaplaka iza glasa.
5 And lo! Saul cam, `and suede oxis fro the feeld; and he seide, What hath the puple, for it wepith? And thei telden to hym the wordis of men of Jabes.
A gle, Šaul je upravo išao za govedima iz polja pa upita: “Što je ljudima te plaču?” I pripovjediše mu što su rekli Jabešani.
6 And the Spirit of the Lord skippide in to Saul, whanne he hadde herd these wordis, and his woodnesse was `wrooth greetli.
Kad je Šaul čuo te riječi, duh Jahvin siđe na njega i silan gnjev uskipje u njemu.
7 And he took euer either oxe, and kittide in to gobetis, and sente in to alle the termes of Israel, bi the hondis of messangeris; and seide, Who euer goith not out, and sueth not Saul and Samuel, so it schal be don to hise oxun. Therfor the drede of the Lord asailide the puple, and thei yeden out as o man.
I uze on dva vola, isiječe ih i komade razasla po poslanicima u sve krajeve Izraelove i poruči: “Tko ne pođe za Šaulom, ovako će biti s njegovim govedima.” I strah Božji obuze ljude te pođoše kao jedan čovjek.
8 And he noumbride hem in Besech; and thre hundrid thousynd weren of the sones of Israel; forsothe of the men of Juda weren thretti thousynde.
Šaul ih izbroji u Bezeku: i bijaše sinova Izraelovih tri stotine tisuća, a Judinih ljudi trideset tisuća.
9 And thei seiden to the messangeris that camen, Thus ye schulen seie to the men that ben in Jabes of Galaad, To morew schal be helthe to you, whanne the sunne is hoot. Therfor the messangeris camen, and telden to the men of Jabes; whiche weren glad,
Zatim reče poslanicima koji bijahu došli: “Ovako recite Jabešanima u Gileadu: sutra, kad sunce pripeče, stići će vam pomoć.” Kad su se poslanici vratili, javiše sve to Jabešanima i oni se obradovaše.
10 and seiden, Eerli we schulen go out to you, and ye schulen do to vs al that plesith you.
I poručiše Nahašu: “Sutra ćemo izaći k vama, pa učinite s nama što vam bude drago.”
11 And it was don, whanne the morewe dai cam, Saul ordeynede the puple in to thre partis; and he entride in to the myddil tentis `in the wakyng of the morewtid, and he smoot Amon til the dai `was hoot; `forsothe the residues weren scaterid, so that tweyne togidere weren not left in hem.
Sutradan Šaul razdijeli narod u tri čete, koje provališe u tabor o jutarnjoj straži i tukoše Amonce do najveće dnevne žege; a što preživje, rasprša se da ni dvojica ne ostaše zajedno.
12 And the puple seide to Samuel, Who is this, that seide, Saul schal not regne on vs? Yyue ye the men, and we schulen sle hem.
Tada narod reče Samuelu: “Tko je onaj što je govorio: 'Zar će Šaul kraljevati nad nama?' Dajte te ljude da ih pogubimo!”
13 And Saul seide, No man schal be slayn in this dai, for to dai the Lord made helthe in Israel.
Ali Šaul odgovori: “Neka se ne pogubi u ovaj dan nitko, jer je danas Jahve izvojevao pobjedu u Izraelu.”
14 Forsothe Samuel seide to the puple, Come ye, and go we in to Galgala, and renule we there the rewme.
Tada Samuel reče narodu: “Hajdemo u Gilgal da ondje potvrdimo kraljevstvo.”
15 And al the puple yede in to Galgala, and there thei maden Saul kyng bifor the Lord `in Galgala; and thei offriden pesible sacrifices bifor the Lord. And Saul was glad there, and alle the men of Israel greetli.
I sav narod krenu u Gilgal i ondje postaviše Šaula za kralja pred Jahvom, u Gilgalu. Ondje žrtvovaše pred Jahvom žrtve pričesnice i ondje je Šaul sa svim Izraelcima slavio slavlje.
