1 Samuel 9
1 And there is a man of Benjamin, and his name [is] Kish, son of Abiel, son of Zeror, son of Bechorath, son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, mighty of valour,
Torej tam je bil mož iz Benjamina, katerega ime je bilo Kiš, sin Abiéla, sinú Cerórja, sinú Behoráta, sinú Afíaha, Benjaminovec, mogočen človek moči.
2 and he hath a son, and his name [is] Saul, a choice youth and goodly, and there is not a man among the sons of Israel goodlier than he — from his shoulder and upward, higher than any of the people.
Imel je sina, čigar ime je bilo Savel, izbranega in čednega mladeniča in med Izraelovimi otroki ni bilo čednejše osebe kakor on. Od njegovih ramen in navzgor je bil višji kakor katerikoli izmed ljudstva.
3 And the asses of Kish, father of Saul, are lost, and Kish saith unto Saul his son, 'Take, I pray thee, with thee, one of the young men, and rise, go, seek the asses.'
Oslice Savlovega očeta Kiša so se izgubile. Kiš je rekel svojemu sinu Savlu: »Vzemi torej s seboj enega izmed služabnikov in vstani, pojdi iskat oslice.«
4 And he passeth over through the hill-country of Ephraim, and passeth over through the land of Shalisha, and they have not found; and they pass over through the land of Shaalim, and they are not; and he passeth over through the land of Benjamin, and they have not found.
Prečkal je goro Efrájim in šel skozi deželo Šalíša, toda nista jih našla. Potem sta šla skozi deželo Šaalím in tam jih ni bilo. Šel je skozi deželo Benjaminovcev, toda nista jih našla.
5 They have come in unto the land of Zuph, and Saul hath said to his young man who [is] with him, 'Come, and we turn back, lest my father leave off from the asses, and hath been sorrowful for us.'
In ko sta prišla do dežele Cuf, je Savel rekel svojemu služabniku, ki je bil z njim: »Pridi in se vrniva, da ne bi moj oče prenehal skrbeti za oslice in bi mislil na naju.«
6 And he saith to him, 'Lo, I pray thee, a man of God [is] in this city, and the man is honoured; all that he speaketh doth certainly come; now, we go there, it may be he doth declare to us our way on which we have gone.'
Rekel mu je: »Glej torej, v tem mestu je Božji mož in ta je častitljiv mož. Vse, kar reče, se zagotovo zgodi. Pojdiva sedaj tja, morda nama on lahko pokaže pot, po kateri naj greva.«
7 And Saul saith to his young man, 'And lo, we go, and what do we bring in to the man? for the bread hath gone from our vessels, and a present there is not to bring in to the man of God — what [is] with us?'
Potem je Savel rekel svojemu služabniku: »Toda glej, če greva, kaj bova prinesla možu? Kajti kruh v najinih posodah je pošel in ni darila, da bi ga prinesla Božjemu možu. Kaj imava?«
8 And the young man addeth to answer Saul, and saith, 'Lo, there is found with me a fourth of a shekel of silver: and I have given to the man of God, and he hath declared to us our way.'
Služabnik je ponovno odgovoril Savlu in rekel: »Glej, tukaj pri roki imam četrtinko šekla srebra. To bom dal Božjemu možu, da nama pove najino pot.«
9 Formerly in Israel, thus said the man in his going to seek God, 'Come and we go unto the seer,' for the 'prophet' of to-day is called formerly 'the seer.'
(Poprej je v Izraelu mož, ko je šel, da poizveduje od Boga, govoril tako: »Pridite in pojdimo k vidcu, « kajti kdor je sedaj imenovan prerok, je bil poprej imenovan videc.)
10 And Saul saith to his young man, 'Thy word [is] good; come, we go;' and they go unto the city where the man of God [is].
Potem je Savel rekel svojemu služabniku: »Dobro rečeno. Pridi, pojdiva.« Tako sta šla v mesto, kjer je bil Božji mož.
11 They are going up in the ascent of the city, and have found young women going out to draw water, and say to them, 'Is the seer in this [place]?'
In ko sta šla gor, po hribu do mesta, sta našla mladenke, ki so prihajale ven, da zajamejo vodo in rekla sta jim: »Je tukaj videc?«
12 And they answer them and say, 'He is; lo, before thee! haste, now, for to-day he hath come in to the city, for the people hath a stated sacrifice in a high place.
Odgovorile so jima in rekle: »Je, glejta, pred vama je. Sedaj pohitita, kajti danes je prišel v mesto, kajti danes je klavna daritev ljudstva na visokem kraju.
13 At your going in to the city so ye do find him, before he doth go up in to the high place to eat; for the people do not eat till his coming, for he doth bless the sacrifice; afterwards they eat, who are called, and now, go up, for at this time ye find him.'
Takoj ko prideta v mesto, ga bosta nemudoma našla, preden gre gor na visok kraj, da jé, kajti ljudstvo ne bo jedlo, dokler on ne pride, ker on blagoslovi klavno daritev in potem tisti, ki so povabljeni, jedo. Sedaj torej pojdita gor, kajti približno ta čas ga bosta našla.«
14 And they go up in to the city; they are coming in to the midst of the city, and lo, Samuel is coming out to meet them, to go up to the high place;
Šla sta gor v mesto in ko sta prišla v mesto, glej, je Samuel prihajal ven proti njima, da bi šel gor na visok kraj.
15 and Jehovah had uncovered the ear of Samuel one day before the coming of Saul, saying,
Torej Gospod je Samuelu na uho povedal, dan poprej, preden je Savel prišel, rekoč:
16 'At this time tomorrow, I send unto thee a man out of the land of Benjamin — and thou hast anointed him for leader over My people Israel, and he hath saved My people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have seen My people, for its cry hath come in unto Me.'
»Jutri okrog tega časa ti bom poslal moža iz Benjaminove dežele in ti ga boš mazilil, da bo poveljnik nad mojim ljudstvom Izraelom, da bo lahko rešil moje ljudstvo iz roke Filistejcev, kajti jaz sem pogledal na svoje ljudstvo, ker je njihov krik prišel k meni.«
17 When Samuel hath seen Saul, then hath Jehovah answered him, 'Lo, the man of whom I have spoken unto thee; this [one] doth restrain My people.'
Ko je Samuel zagledal Savla, mu je Gospod rekel: »Glej mož, o katerem sem ti govoril! Ta isti bo kraljeval nad mojim ljudstvom.«
18 And Saul draweth nigh to Samuel in the midst of the gate, and saith, 'Declare, I pray thee, to me, where [is] this — the seer's house?'
Potem se je Savel približal k Samuelu v velikih vratih in rekel: »Povej mi, prosim te, kje je vidčeva hiša.«
19 And Samuel answereth Saul and saith, 'I [am] the seer; go up before me into the high place, and ye have eaten with me to-day, and I have sent thee away in the morning, and all that [is] in thy heart I declare to thee.
Samuel je odgovoril Savlu in rekel: »Jaz sem videc. Pojdi gor pred menoj na visok kraj, kajti danes boš jedel z menoj, jutri pa te bom pustil oditi in povedal ti bom vse, kar je v tvojem srcu.
20 As to the asses which are lost to thee this day three days, set not thy heart to them, for they have been found; and to whom [is] all the desire of Israel?' is it not to thee and to all thy father's house?'
Glede oslic, ki so bile izgubljene pred tremi dnevi, ne naravnaj svojih misli nanje, kajti najdene so. Na kom je vse hrepenenje Izraela? Ali ni na tebi in na vsej hiši tvojega očeta?«
21 And Saul answereth and saith, 'Am not I a Benjamite — of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? and why hast thou spoken unto me according to this word?'
Savel je odgovoril in rekel: » Ali nisem Benjaminovec, od najmanjšega izmed Izraelovih rodov? In moja družina najmanjša izmed vseh družin Benjaminovega rodu? Zakaj mi potem tako govoriš?«
22 And Samuel taketh Saul, and his young man, and bringeth them in to the chamber, and giveth to them a place at the head of those called; and they [are] about thirty men.
Samuel je vzel Savla in njegovega služabnika ter ju privedel v dvorano in ju primoral sesti na najvišje mesto med tistimi, ki so bili povabljeni, katerih je bilo približno trideset oseb.
23 And Samuel saith to the cook, 'Give the portion which I gave to thee, of which I said unto thee, 'Set it by thee?'
Samuel je rekel kuharju: »Prinesi delež, ki sem ti ga dal, od katerega sem ti rekel: ›Postavi to poleg sebe.‹«
24 (and the cook lifteth up the leg, and that which [is] on it, and setteth before Saul), and he saith, 'Lo, that which is left; set [it] before thee — eat, for to this appointed season it is kept for thee, saying, The people I have called;' and Saul eateth with Samuel on that day.
Kuhar je vzel pleče in tisto, kar je bilo na njem in to postavil pred Savla. Samuel je rekel: »Glej to, kar je preostalo! Postavi to predse in jej, kajti za ta čas je bilo prihranjeno zate, odkar sem rekel: ›Povabil sem ljudstvo.‹« Tako je Savel tisti dan jedel s Samuelom.
25 And they come down from the high place to the city, and he speaketh with Saul on the roof.
Ko sta prišla dol iz visokega kraja v mesto, se je Samuel s Savlom posvetoval na vrhu hiše.
26 And they rise early, and it cometh to pass, at the ascending of the dawn, that Samuel calleth unto Saul, on the roof, saying, 'Rise, and I send thee away;' and Saul riseth, and they go out, both of them — he and Samuel, without.
Zgodaj so vstali in pripetilo se je ob svitanju dneva, da je Samuel poklical Savla na vrhu hiše, rekoč: »Vstani, da te lahko odpošljem.« Savel je vstal in odšla sta ven, oba izmed njiju, on in Samuel.
27 They are going down in the extremity of the city, and Samuel hath said unto Saul, 'Say to the young man that he pass on before us (and he passeth on), and thou, stand at this time, and I cause thee to hear the word of God.'
In ko sta se spuščala dol, do konca mesta, je Samuel rekel Savlu: »Zapovej služabniku, da gre naprej pred nama (in ta je šel naprej), toda ti malce postoj, da ti lahko pokažem besedo od Boga.«
