2 Samuel 1
1 And it cometh to pass, after the death of Saul, that David hath returned from smiting the Amalekite, and David dwelleth in Ziklag two days,
Poslije Šaulove smrti David se vratio kući pobijedivši Amalečane. Dva je dana proveo u Siklagu.
2 and it cometh to pass, on the third day, that lo, a man hath come in out of the camp from Saul, and his garments [are] rent, and earth on his head; and it cometh to pass, in his coming in unto David, that he falleth to the earth, and doth obeisance.
Trećega dana dođe neki čovjek iz Šaulova tabora, razdrtih haljina i prahom posute glave. Došavši k Davidu, baci se na zemlju i pokloni mu se.
3 And David saith to him, 'Whence comest thou?' and he saith unto him, 'Out of the camp of Israel I have escaped.'
David ga upita: “Odakle dolaziš?” A on mu odgovori: “Umakao sam iz izraelskog tabora.”
4 And David saith unto him, 'What hath been the matter? declare, I pray thee, to me.' And he saith, that 'The people hath fled from the battle, and also a multitude hath fallen of the people, and they die; and also Saul and Jonathan his son have died.'
A David ga upita: “Što se dogodilo? Pripovijedaj mi!” On odvrati: “Narod je pobjegao iz boja, a mnogo je ljudi i poginulo. Mrtvi su i Šaul i njegov sin Jonatan.”
5 And David saith unto the youth who is declaring [it] to him, 'How hast thou known that Saul and Jonathan his son [are] dead?'
Nato David upita mladoga glasonošu: “Kako znaš da je poginuo Šaul i njegov sin Jonatan?”
6 And the youth who is declaring [it] to him saith, I happened to meet in mount Gilboa, and lo, Saul is leaning on his spear; and lo, the chariots and those possessing horses have followed him;
A mladi glasonoša odgovori: “Slučajno sam došao na goru Gilbou i vidio Šaula kako se upro u svoje koplje, a bojna kola i konjanici natisnuli se za njim.
7 and he turneth behind him, and seeth me, and calleth unto me, and I say, Here [am] I.
Šaul, obazrevši se, ugleda mene pa me zovnu, a ja mu se odazvah: 'Evo me!'
8 And he saith to me, Who [art] thou? and I say unto him, An Amalekite I [am].'
I upita me on: 'Tko si ti?' A ja mu odgovorih: 'Amalečanin sam.'
9 'And he saith unto me, Stand, I pray thee, over me, and put me to death, for seized me hath the arrow, for all my soul [is] still in me.
Tada mi on reče: 'Dođi ovamo k meni pa me ubij, jer me obuzeo smrtni grč, a duša je još sva u meni!'
10 And I stand over him, and put him to death, for I knew that he doth not live after his falling, and I take the crown which [is] on his head, and the bracelet which [is] on his arm, and bring them in unto my lord hither.'
Pristupih k njemu i zadadoh mu smrtni udarac, jer sam znao da neće preživjeti nakon pada. Zatim uzeh kraljevski znak koji mu bijaše na glavi i narukvicu koju imaše na ruci i, evo, donesoh to svome gospodaru.”
11 And David taketh hold on his garments, and rendeth them, and also all the men who [are] with him,
Tada David zgrabi svoje haljine i razdrije ih, a tako i svi ljudi koji bijahu s njim.
12 and they mourn, and weep, and fast till the evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah, and for the house of Israel, because they have fallen by the sword.
I naricali su, plakali i postili do večera za Šaulom i za njegovim sinom Jonatanom, za Jahvinim narodom i za domom Izraelovim što izginuše od mača.
13 And David saith unto the youth who is declaring [it] to him, 'Whence [art] thou?' and he saith, 'Son of a sojourner, an Amalekite, I [am].'
Potom David upita mladoga glasonošu: “Odakle si ti?” A on odgovori: “Ja sam sin jednoga došljaka, Amalečanina.”
14 And David saith unto him, 'How wast thou not afraid to put forth thy hand to destroy the anointed of Jehovah?'
Tada mu reče David: “Kako se nisi bojao dići ruku da ubiješ pomazanika Jahvina?”
15 And David calleth to one of the youths, and saith, 'Draw nigh — fall upon him;' and he smiteth him, and he dieth;
I dozva David jednoga od momaka i zapovjedi mu: “Dođi ovamo i smakni ga!” Udari ga momak i on umrije.
16 and David saith unto him, 'Thy blood [is] on thine own head, for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I — I put to death the anointed of Jehovah.'
A David mu još doviknu: “Tvoja krv na tvoju glavu! Tvoja su usta posvjedočila protiv tebe kad si rekao: 'Ja sam ubio pomazanika Jahvina.'”
17 And David lamenteth with this lamentation over Saul, and over Jonathan his son;
Tada David zapjeva ovu tužaljku za Šaulom i za njegovim sinom Jonatanom.
18 and he saith to teach the sons of Judah 'The Bow;' lo, it is written on the book of the Upright: —
Zapisana je u Knjizi Pravednikovoj da je uče sinovi Judini. David reče:
19 'The Roebuck, O Israel, On thy high places [is] wounded; How have the mighty fallen!
“Oh, kako ti slava pade, Izraele, izginuše div-junaci na tvom visu!
20 Declare [it] not in Gath, Proclaim not the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon, Lest they rejoice — The daughters of the Philistines, Lest they exult — The daughters of the Uncircumcised!
O porazu vi u Gatu ne pričajte, aškelonskim ulicama ne glasite, da se kćeri ne vesele filistejske, mlade žene da ne kliču nevjerničke.
21 Mountains of Gilboa! No dew nor rain be on you, And fields of heave-offerings! For there hath become loathsome The shield of the mighty, The shield of Saul — without the anointed with oil.
O Gilbojske gore klete, rosa na vas ne padala nit vas kiša s neba prala! Vaša polja ne vraćala rod za sjeme, jer kod vas je osramoćen štit junaka! Štit Šaulov nije bio uljem mazan,
22 From the blood of the wounded, From the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan Hath not turned backward; And the sword of Saul doth not return empty.
nego krvlju ranjenika, mašću palih! Luk Jonate nikad nije promašio, mač Šaulov nikad bezuspješan bio!
23 Saul and Jonathan! They are loved and pleasant in their lives, And in their death they have not been parted. Than eagles they have been lighter, Than lions they have been mightier!
Šaul i Jonata, ljupki, ponositi, ni živi se ne rastaše, ni u smrti! Od orlova bjehu brži, od lavova snagom jači!
24 Daughters of Israel! for Saul weep ye, Who is clothing you [in] scarlet with delights. Who is lifting up ornaments of gold on your clothing.
Za Šaulom sad plačite, Izraelke, jer je u kras i u grimiz vas odijevo! Uz to zlatan nakit on je na ruho vam pričvršćivo.
25 How have the mighty fallen In the midst of the battle! Jonathan! on thy high places wounded!
Usred boja poginuše div-junaci! Smrt me tvoja, Jonatane, ožalosti!
26 I am in distress for thee, my brother Jonathan, Very pleasant wast thou to me; Wonderful was thy love to me, Above the love of women!
Žao mi je tebe, brate, Jonatane! Kako li mi drag bijaše ti veoma! Ljubav tvoja bješe meni još od ženske čudesnija.
27 How have the mighty fallen, Yea, the weapons of war perish!'
Oh, kako su izginuli div-junaci, i oružje bojno kako skršeno je!”
