1 Samuel 12
1 And Samuel saith unto all Israel, 'Lo, I have hearkened to your voice, to all that ye said to me, and I cause to reign over you a king,
Tada reèe Samuilo svemu Izrailju: eto, poslušao sam glas vaš u svemu što mi rekoste, i postavih cara nad vama.
2 and now, lo, the king is walking habitually before you, and I have become aged and gray-headed, and my sons, lo, they [are] with you, and I have walked habitually before you from my youth till this day.
I sada eto, car ide pred vama, a ja sam ostario i osijedio; i sinovi moji eto su meðu vama; i ja sam išao pred vama od mladosti svoje do danas.
3 'Lo, here [am] I; testify against me, over-against Jehovah, and over-against His anointed; whose ox have I taken, and whose ass have I taken, and whom have I oppressed; whom have I bruised, and of whose hand have I taken a ransom, and hide mine eyes with it? — and I restore to you.'
Evo me; odgovorite mi pred Gospodom i pred pomazanikom njegovijem. Kome sam uzeo vola ili kome sam uzeo magarca? kome sam uèinio nasilje? kome sam uèinio krivo? ili iz èije sam ruke uzeo poklon, da bih stiskao oèi njega radi? pak æu vam vratiti.
4 And they say, 'Thou hast not oppressed us, nor hast thou crushed us, nor hast thou taken from the hand of any one anything.'
A oni rekoše: nijesi nam uèinio sile niti si kome uèinio krivo, niti si uzeo što iz èije ruke.
5 And he saith unto them, 'A witness [is] Jehovah against you: and a witness [is] His anointed this day, that ye have not found anything in my hand;' and they say, 'A witness.'
Jošte im reèe: svjedok je Gospod na vas, i svjedok je pomazanik njegov danas, da nijeste našli ništa u mojim rukama. I rekoše: svjedok je.
6 And Samuel saith unto the people, 'Jehovah — He who made Moses and Aaron, and who brought up your fathers out of the land of Egypt!
Tada reèe Samuilo narodu: Gospod je koji je postavio Mojsija i Arona, i koji je izveo oce vaše iz zemlje Misirske.
7 and, now, station yourselves, and I judge you before Jehovah, with all the righteous acts of Jehovah, which He did with you, and with your fathers.
Sada dakle stanite da se prem s vama pred Gospodom za sva dobra što je èinio Gospod vama i vašim ocima.
8 'When Jacob hath come in to Egypt, and your fathers cry unto Jehovah, then Jehovah sendeth Moses and Aaron, and they bring out your fathers from Egypt, and cause them to dwell in this place,
Pošto doðe Jakov u Misir, vikaše oci vaši ka Gospodu, i Gospod posla Mojsija i Arona, koji izvedoše oce vaše iz Misira i naseliše ih na ovom mjestu.
9 and they forget Jehovah their God, and He selleth them into the hand of Sisera, head of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fight against them,
Ali zaboraviše Gospoda Boga svojega, te ih dade u ruke Sisari vojvodi Asorskom, i u ruke Filistejima, i u ruke caru Moavskomu, koji vojevaše na njih.
10 and they cry unto Jehovah, and say, We have sinned, because we have forsaken Jehovah, and serve the Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and now, deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we serve Thee.
Ali vikaše ka Gospodu i rekoše: sagriješismo što ostavismo Gospoda i služismo Valima i Astarotama; ali sada izbavi nas iz ruku neprijatelja naših, pa æemo ti služiti.
11 'And Jehovah sendeth Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivereth you out of the hand of your enemies round about, and ye dwell confidently.
I Gospod posla Jerovala i Vedana i Jeftaja i Samuila, i ote vas iz ruku neprijatelja vaših unaokolo, te živjeste bez straha.
12 'And ye see that Nahash king of the Bene-Ammon hath come against you, and ye say to me, Nay, but a king doth reign over us; and Jehovah your God [is] your king!
Ali kad vidjeste Nasa cara Amonskoga gdje doðe na vas, rekoste mi: ne, nego car neka caruje nad nama, premda Gospod Bog vaš bješe car vaš.
13 And, now, lo, the king whom ye have chosen — whom ye have asked! and lo, Jehovah hath placed over you a king.
Sada dakle, eto cara kojega izabraste, kojega iskaste; evo, Gospod je postavio cara nad vama.
14 'If ye fear Jehovah, and have served Him, and hearkened to His voice, then ye do not provoke the mouth of Jehovah, and ye have been — both ye and the king who hath reigned over you — after Jehovah your God.
Ako se uzbojite Gospoda, i njemu uzaslužite, i uzaslušate glas njegov i ne usprotivite se zapovijesti Gospodnjoj, tada æete i vi i car vaš koji caruje nad vama iæi za Gospodom Bogom svojim.
15 'And if ye do not hearken to the voice of Jehovah — then ye have provoked the mouth of Jehovah, and the hand of Jehovah hath been against you, and against your fathers.
Ako li ne uzaslušate glasa Gospodnjega, nego se usprotivite zapovijesti Gospodnjoj, tada æe biti ruka Gospodnja protiv vas kao što je bila protiv otaca vaših.
16 'Also now, station yourselves and see this great thing which Jehovah is doing before your eyes;
Ali stanite sada jošte, i vidite ovu stvar veliku koju æe uèiniti Gospod pred vašim oèima.
17 is it not wheat-harvest to-day? I call unto Jehovah, and He doth give voices and rain; and know ye and see that your evil is great which ye have done in the eyes of Jehovah, to ask for you a king.'
Nije li danas žetva pšenièna? Ja æu prizvati Gospoda, i spustiæe gromove i dažd, da razumijete i vidite koliko je zlo što uèiniste pred Gospodom iskavši sebi cara.
18 And Samuel calleth unto Jehovah, and Jehovah giveth voices and rain, on that day, and all the people greatly fear Jehovah and Samuel;
Tada Samuilo zavapi ka Gospodu, i Gospod spusti gromove i dažd u taj dan; i sav se narod poboja vrlo Gospoda i Samuila.
19 and all the people say unto Samuel, 'Pray for thy servants unto Jehovah thy God, and we do not die, for we have added to all our sins evil to ask for us a king.'
I reèe sav narod Samuilu: moli se za sluge svoje Gospodu Bogu svojemu da ne pomremo; jer dodasmo k svijem grijesima svojim zlo ištuæi sebi cara.
20 And Samuel saith unto the people, 'Fear not; ye have done all this evil; only, turn not aside from after Jehovah — and ye have served Jehovah with all your heart,
Tada reèe Samuilo narodu: ne bojte se, vi ste uèinili sve ovo zlo; ali ne otstupajte od Gospoda, nego služite Gospodu svijem srcem svojim.
21 and ye do not turn aside after the vain things which do not profit nor deliver, for they [are] vain,
Ne otstupajte; jer biste pošli za ništavim stvarima, koje ne pomažu, niti izbavljaju, jer su ništave.
22 for Jehovah doth not leave His people, on account of His great name; for Jehovah hath been pleased to make you to Him for a people.
Jer Gospod neæe ostaviti naroda svojega radi velikoga imena svojega; jer Gospodu bi volja da vas uèini svojim narodom.
23 'I, also, far be it from me to sin against Jehovah, by ceasing to pray for you, and I have directed you in the good and upright way;
A meni ne dao Bog da zgriješim Gospodu i prestanem moliti se za vas; nego æu vas upuæivati na put dobar i prav.
24 only, fear ye Jehovah, and ye have served Him in truth with all your heart, for see that which He hath made great with you;
Samo se Bojte Gospoda i služite mu istinito, svijem srcem svojim, jer vidite, kakve je velike stvari uèinio za vas.
25 and if ye really do evil, both ye and your king are consumed.'
Ako li zlo ušèinite, propašæete i vi i car vaš.
