2 Sámuel 1
1 És lőn Saul halála után, mikor Dávid visszatért az Amálekiták legyőzéséből, és Dávid két napig Siklágban időzött:
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 Ímé a harmadik napon egy férfi jöve a táborból Saultól, és az ő ruhái megszaggatva valának, fején pedig föld vala; és a mikor Dávidhoz ért, leesék a földre, és meghajtá magát.
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 Monda pedig néki Dávid: Honnét jössz? Felele néki: Az Izráel táborából szaladék el.
David asked him, “Where have you come from?” The man replied, “I escaped from where the Israeli army had been camped.”
4 Monda néki Dávid: Mondd meg kérlek nékem, mint lőn a dolog? Ő pedig felele: Megfutamodék a nép a harczból, és a nép közül nagy sokaság esett el, és meghalának. Sőt Saul is és Jonathán az ő fia meghalának.
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 Dávid pedig mondá az ifjúnak, ki néki ezt elbeszélé: Honnan tudod, hogy meghalt Saul és Jonathán az ő fia?
David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
6 Felele az ifjú, ki a hírt hozta: Történetből felmenék a Gilboa hegyére, és ímé Saul az ő dárdájára támaszkodott vala, és ímé a szekerek és lovagok utólérék őtet.
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 Hátratekintvén pedig Saul, megláta engem és szólíta, és mondék: Ímhol vagyok én.
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 Monda pedig nékem: Ki vagy te? Felelék néki: Amálekita vagyok.
He replied, ‘Who are you?’ I replied, ‘I am a descendant of Amalek.’
9 Akkor monda nékem: Kérlek állj mellém és ölj meg engem, mert dermedtség fogott el engem, pedig a lélek még teljesen bennem van.
Then he said to me, ‘Come over here and kill me. I am still alive, but I am enduring a lot of pain.’
10 Annakokáért én mellé állván, megölém őtet, mert tudtam, hogy meg nem él, miután elesett, és elhozám a koronát, mely az ő fején vala, és az aranypereczet, mely az ő karján volt, és azokat ímé ide hoztam az én uramnak.
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 Akkor megragadá Dávid a maga ruháit és megszaggatá, úgyszintén a többi emberek is, a kik ő vele valának.
Then David and all the men who were with him tore their clothes [to show that they were very sad].
12 És nagy zokogással sírának, és bőjtölének mind estvéig, Saulon és Jonathánon, az ő fián, és az Úrnak népén és Izráelnek házán, mivelhogy fegyver által hullottak el.
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 monda Dávid az ifjúnak, a ki ezt elbeszélé néki: Honnét való vagy te? Felele: Egy jövevény Amálekita férfi fia vagyok.
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 Ismét monda néki Dávid: Hogy nem féltél felemelni kezedet az Úr felkentjének elvesztésére?
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 És szólíta Dávid egyet az ő szolgái közül, kinek monda: Jőjj elő és öld meg őt. Ki általüté azt, és meghala.
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 monda néki Dávid: A te véred legyen a te fejeden: mert a tennen nyelved vallása bizonyságot tesz ellened, mondván: Én öltem meg az Úrnak felkentjét.
17 És keservesen síra Dávid ilyen sírással, Saulon és Jonathánon, az ő fián,
Then David composed/wrote this sad song about Saul and Jonathan,
18 És monda (íjdal ez, hogy megtanulják Júda fiai, mely be van írva a Jásár könyvébe):
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 Izráel! a te ékességed elesett halmaidon: miként hullottak el a hősök!
“You Israeli people, your glorious [MTY] leaders have been killed on the mountains! [It is very sad that] those mighty men have died!
20 Meg ne mondjátok Gáthban, ne hirdessétek Askelon utczáin, hogy ne örvendjenek a Filiszteusok leányai, és 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 Gilboa hegyei, se harmat, se eső ti reátok ne szálljon, és mezőtök ne teremjen semmi áldozatra valót; mert ott hányatott el az erős vitézek paizsa, Saulnak paizsa, mintha meg nem kenettetett volna 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 A megöletteknek vérétől és a hősöknek kövérétől Jonathán kézíve hátra nem tért, és a Saul fegyvere hiába nem járt.
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 Sault és Jonathánt, a kik egymást szerették és kedvelték míg éltek, a halál sem szakította el; a saskeselyűknél gyorsabbak és az oroszlánoknál erősebbek valának.
“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 Izráel leányai! sirassátok Sault, ki karmazsinba öltöztetett gyönyörűen, és aranynyal ékesíté fel ruhátokat.
“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 Oh, hogy elhullottak a hősök a harczban! Jonathán halmaidon esett el!
“[It is very sad that] this mighty soldier has died! Jonathan has been killed on the mountains/hills.
26 Sajnállak testvérem, Jonathán, kedves valál nékem nagyon, hozzám való szereteted csudálatra méltóbb volt az asszonyok szerelménél.
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 Oh, hogy elhullottak a hősök! És elvesztek a hadi szerszámok!
“It is very sad that those mighty men have died, and their weapons are now abandoned!
