< 2 Sámuel 1 >
1 Volt Sául halála után – Dávid pedig visszatért Amálék megverése után és maradt Dávid Cziklágban két napig.
After Saul died, David [and the men who were with him] returned to Ziklag [town] after defeating the descendants of Amalek. They stayed in Ziklag for two days.
2 volt a harmadik napon íme egy ember jön a táborból Sául mellől; ruhái megszaggatva és föld a fején; és volt, mikor bement Dávidhoz, földre vetette magát és leborult.
On the third day, unexpectedly a man arrived there who had come from where Saul’s army was camped. He had torn his clothes and put dust on his head [to show that he was grieving]. He came to David, and prostrated himself on the ground [in front of David to show respect for him].
3 És mondta neki Dávid: Honnan jössz? Szólt hozzá: Izrael táborából menekültem.
David asked him, “Where have you come from?” The man replied, “I escaped from where the Israeli army had been camped.”
4 Erre szólt hozzá Dávid: Hogy történt a dolog, mondd csak meg nekem. Mondta: Hogy megfutamodott a nép a harcból, sokan el is estek a nép közül és meghaltak, Sául és fia Jónátán is meghaltak.
David asked him, “What happened? Tell me [about the battle]!” The man replied, “The Israeli soldiers ran away from the battle. Many of them were killed. And Saul and his son Jonathan (are dead/were also killed).”
5 És szólt Dávid az ifjúhoz, aki hírt mondott neki: hogyan tudod, hogy meghalt Sául meg fia Jónátán?
David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
6 Szólt az ifjú, aki hírt mondott neki: Véletlenül ott voltam a Gilbóa hegyén és íme Sául, amint támaszkodik dárdájára s íme, a szekérhad és a lovasok, utolérték.
The young man replied, “It happened that I was on Gilboa Mountain [where the battle occurred], and I saw Saul, leaning on his spear. The [enemy] chariots and their drivers had come very close to Saul.
7 Hátrafordult és meglátott; akkor szólított engem, és mondtam: itt vagyok.
Saul turned around and saw me, and he called out to me. I answered him and said, ‘What do you want me to do?’
8 Ekkor mondta nekem: ki vagy? Szóltam hozzá: amáléki vagyok.
He replied, ‘Who are you?’ I replied, ‘I am a descendant of Amalek.’
9 És szólt hozzám: Állj csak mellém és ölj meg, mert megragadott a görcs, mert egészen bennem van még a lelkem.
Then he said to me, ‘Come over here and kill me. I am still alive, but I am enduring a lot of pain.’
10 Melléje álltam és megöltem, mert tudtam, hogy nem marad életben elesése után. Akkor vettem a fején levő koronát és a karján levő karkötőt és idehoztam uramhoz.
So I went to him and killed him, because I knew that he was wounded very badly and would (not continue to live/soon die). I took the crown that was on his head and the band/bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them to you.”
11 Ekkor megragadta, Dávid a ruháit és megszaggatta azokat, meg mind az emberek is, kik nála voltak.
Then David and all the men who were with him tore their clothes [to show that they were very sad].
12 Gyászt tartottak, sírtak és böjtöltek estig Sául miatt, fia Jonátán miatt, az Örökkévaló népe miatt és Izrael háza miatt, hogy elestek a kard által.
They mourned for Saul and his son Jonathan, and they cried and (fasted/abstained from eating food) until it was evening. They also mourned for all the army of Yahweh, and for all the Israeli people, because many of their soldiers had been killed in the battle [MTY].
13 És szólt Dávid az ifjúhoz, aki hírt mondott neki: Honnan való vagy? Mondta: Egy jövevény amáléki embernek vagyok a fia.
Then David asked the young man who had told him [about the battle], “Where are you from?” He replied, “My father is a descendant of Amalek, but we live in Israel.”
14 Ekkor szólt hozzá Dávid: Hogyan nem féltél kinyújtani kezedet, hogy elpusztítsad az Örökkévaló fölkentjét!
David asked him, “(Why were you not afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king]?/You should have been afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king].) [RHQ]
15 Erre hívott Dávid egyet a legények közül és mondta: Lépj ide, támadj rá! Leütötte és meghalt.
You yourself said, ‘I killed the man whom Yahweh appointed to be the king.’ So you have caused yourself to be guilty [MTY] of causing your own death!” Then David summoned one of his soldiers and said to him, “Kill him!” So the soldier killed him by striking him [with a sword].
16 És szólt hozzá Dávid: Véred a fejeden, mert saját szád vallott ellened, mondván: én öltem meg az Örökkévaló fölkentjét.
17 Ekkor elmondta Dávid ezt a gyászdalt Sául fölött és fia Jónátán fölött.
Then David composed/wrote this sad song about Saul and Jonathan,
18 Mondta, hogy tanítsák Jehúda fiait az íjra; íme írva van az Igazak könyvében.
and he commanded that it be taught to the people of Judah. [The song is called] ‘The Bow [and Arrow]’ and it has been written in the Book of Jashar:
19 A dísz, oh Izrael, magaslatodon megölve! Mint estek el a vitézek!
“You Israeli people, your glorious [MTY] leaders have been killed on the mountains! [It is very sad that] those mighty men have died!
20 Ne jelentsétek Gátban, hírül ne adjátok Askelón utcáin, hogy ne örvendjenek a filiszteusok leányai, ne ujjongjanak a körülmetéletlenek leányai!
“Do not tell it [to our enemies in the Philistia area]; do not tell to the people who live in Gath [city] what happened; do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon [city], because if you tell them, [even] the women in that area will be happy; do not allow those (pagan women/women who do not know God) to rejoice.
21 Gilbóa hegyei, se harmat, se eső ne legyen rajtatok, se termékeny mezőség; mert ott vettetett el a vitézek pajzsa, Sáulnak pajzsa, nem kenve olajjal.
I hope/desire that there will be no rain or dew on the mountains of [the] Gilboa [area] [APO], and that no grain will grow in the fields there, because there the shield of Saul, the mighty [king], fell on the ground. No one rubbed [olive] oil on Saul’s shield;
22 Elesettek vérétől, vitézek zsírjától Jónátán íja nem hátrált meg, és Sáulnak kardja üresen nem tért vissza.
instead, it was stained with the blood of those whom he had killed, and the fat of mighty enemy soldiers was smeared on it. Jonathan [PRS] did not retreat carrying his bow [and arrows], and Saul always [defeated his enemies when he fought them] with his sword. [PRS, LIT]
23 Sául és Jónátán a szeretni valók és kedvesek éltükben, még holtukban sem váltak el; sasoknál gyorsabbak voltak, oroszlánoknál bátrabbak.
“Saul and Jonathan were loved and they pleased many people. They were together [LIT] while they lived and when they died. [In battles] they were swifter than eagles and they were stronger than lions.
24 Izrael leányai, Sául fölött sírjatok, aki öltöztetett titeket bíborba és gyönyörűségbe, aki juttatott arany ékességet öltözéktekre.
“You Israeli women, cry about Saul; He provided beautiful scarlet/red clothes for you and he gave you gold ornaments/jewelry to fasten on those clothes.
25 Mint estek el a vitézek a harc közepette! Jónátán, magaslatidon megölve!
“[It is very sad that] this mighty soldier has died! Jonathan has been killed on the mountains/hills.
26 Búban vagyok miattad, testvérem Jónátán, kedves voltál nekem nagyon, csodásabb volt nekem szereteted asszonyok szereteténél.
Jonathan, my dear friend, I grieve for you; you were very dear to me. You loved me in a wonderful manner; it was better than the way that a woman loves [her husband and her children].
27 Mint estek el a vitézek, és odavesztek a harc fegyveri!
“It is very sad that those mighty men have died, and their weapons are now abandoned!
