I Samuela 30

1 A gdy trzeciego dnia Dawid i jego ludzie przybyli do Siklag, Amalekici najechali już na południe i na Siklag, zburzyli Siklag i spalili go ogniem;

And when David and his men had arrived at Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the south side against Ziklag. And they had struck Ziklag, and burned it with fire.

2 I zabrali do niewoli kobiety, które w nim były. Nikogo nie zabili, od najmniejszego aż do wielkiego, ale uprowadzili [ich] i odeszli swoją drogą.

And they had led the women in it away as captives, from the small to the great. And they had not killed anyone, but they led them away with them. And then they traveled on their journey.

3 A gdy Dawid i jego ludzie przyszli do miasta, było ono spalone ogniem, a ich żony, synów i córki zabrano do niewoli.

Therefore, when David and his men had arrived at the city, and had found it burned with fire, and that their wives and their sons and daughters had been led away as captives,

4 Wtedy Dawid i lud, który z nim był, podnieśli swój głos i płakali, aż im zabrakło sił do płaczu.

David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices. And they mourned until the tears in them failed.

5 Zabrano do niewoli także obie żony Dawida: Achinoam Jizreelitkę i Abigail, [dawną] żonę Nabala z Karmelu.

For indeed, the two wives of David also had been led away as captives: Ahinoam, the Jezreelite, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.

6 I Dawid znalazł się w wielkim utrapieniu, bo lud chciał go ukamienować. Dusza całego ludu bowiem była rozgoryczona z powodu swoich synów i córek. Dawid zaś wzmocnił się w PANU, swym Bogu.

And David was greatly saddened. And the people were willing to stone him, because the soul of every man was bitter over his sons and daughters. But David was strengthened by the Lord his God.

7 Wtedy Dawid powiedział do kapłana Abiatara, syna Achimeleka: Przynieś mi, proszę, efod. I Abiatar przyniósł efod Dawidowi.

And he said to the priest Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, “Bring the ephod to me.” And Abiathar brought the ephod to David.

8 I Dawid radził się PANA, pytając: Czy mam ścigać to wojsko? Czy je dogonię? PAN odpowiedział mu: Ścigaj, bo na pewno dogonisz i na pewno odbierzesz [łup].

And David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I pursue these robbers, and will I overtake them, or not?” And the Lord said to him: “Pursue. For without doubt, you will overtake them and find the prey.”

9 Dawid wyruszył więc, on i sześciuset ludzi, których miał ze sobą, i dotarli do potoku Besor. Tam niektórzy pozostali.

Therefore, David went away, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and they arrived as far as the torrent Besor. And certain ones, being weary, stayed there.

10 Dawid zaś ścigał ich wraz z czterystu ludźmi. Dwustu ludzi bowiem pozostało, gdyż byli zbyt zmęczeni, żeby przejść przez potok Besor.

But David pursued, he and four hundred men. For two hundred stayed, who, being weary, were not able to cross the torrent Besor.

11 A w polu natknęli się na Egipcjanina i przyprowadzili go do Dawida. Dali mu chleba i jadł, dali mu też wody i pił;

And they found an Egyptian man in the field, and they led him to David. And they gave him bread, so that he might eat, and water, so that he might drink,

12 Dali mu także kawałek placka figowego i dwa pęczki rodzynków. Kiedy to zjadł, ożył w nim jego duch, gdyż przez trzy dni i trzy noce nie jadł chleba ani nie pił wody.

and also a section of a mass of dried figs, and two clusters of dried grapes. And when he had eaten, his spirit returned, and he was refreshed. For he had not eaten bread, nor drank water, for three days and three nights.

13 Wtedy Dawid zapytał go: Do kogo należysz? Skąd jesteś? Odpowiedział: Jestem młodym Egipcjaninem, sługą Amalekity. Mój pan porzucił mnie, bo zachorowałem trzy dni temu.

And so David said to him: “To whom do you belong? Or where are you from? And where are you going?” And he said: “I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalekite man. But my lord abandoned me, because I began to be sick the day before yesterday.

14 Najechaliśmy na południe od Keretytów, obszar Judy i na południe od Kaleba i podpaliliśmy Siklag ogniem.

For indeed, we broke forth to the southern side of Cherethi, and against Judah, and to the south of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire.”

15 Dawid zapytał go: Czy mógłbyś mnie zaprowadzić do tej zgrai? Odpowiedział: Przysięgnij mi na Boga, że mnie nie zabijesz ani mnie nie wydasz w ręce mego pana, a zaprowadzę cię do tej zgrai.

And David said to him, “Are you able to lead me to this battle line?” And he said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me, and that you will not deliver me into the hands of my lord, and I will lead you to this battle line.” And David swore to him.

16 I zaprowadził go, a oto byli rozproszeni po całej ziemi, jedli, pili i świętowali z powodu całego tego wielkiego łupu, który zabrali z ziemi Filistynów i z ziemi Judy.

And when he had led him, behold, they were stretched out on the face of the land everywhere, eating and drinking and celebrating, as if it were a feast day, because of all the prey and spoils that they had taken from the land of the Philistines, and from the land of Judah.

17 I Dawid bił ich od zmierzchu aż do wieczora dnia następnego. Żaden z nich nie ocalał oprócz czterystu młodzieńców, którzy wsiedli na wielbłądy i uciekli.

And David struck them down from evening until the evening of the next day. And no one among them escaped, except four hundred youths, who had climbed on camels and fled.

18 Tak Dawid odzyskał wszystko, co zabrali Amalekici. Dawid uratował także swoje dwie żony.

Therefore, David rescued all that the Amalekites had taken, and he rescued his two wives.

19 Nie zabrakło im nikogo, od najmniejszego do największego, ani synów, ani córek, ani łupu, ani niczego, co im zabrali. Dawid odzyskał wszystko.

And nothing was missing, from small even to great, among the sons and daughters, and among the spoils, and among everything whatsoever that they had seized. David returned it all.

20 Potem Dawid zabrał wszystkie trzody i stada, które pędzono przed jego dobytkiem, i mówiono: To jest łup Dawida.

And he took all the flocks and the herds, and he drove them before his face. And they said, “This is the prey of David.”

21 I Dawid przybył do tych dwustu ludzi, którzy byli tak zmęczeni, że nie mogli iść za Dawidem, i którym kazał zostać przy potoku Besor. Wyszli oni naprzeciw Dawida i naprzeciw ludzi, którzy z nim byli. A gdy Dawid zbliżył się do tych ludzi, pozdrowił ich.

Then David arrived at the two hundred men, who, being weary, had stayed, for they had not been able to follow David, and he had ordered them to remain at the torrent Besor. And they went out to meet David, and the people who were with him. Then David, drawing near to the people, greeted them peacefully.

22 Lecz wszyscy źli ludzie i synowie Beliala, którzy poszli z Dawidem, powiedzieli: Ponieważ ci nie poszli z nami, nie damy im nic z łupu, który odzyskaliśmy, oddamy tylko każdemu jego żonę i dzieci. Niech ich wezmą i odejdą.

And all the wicked and iniquitous men, out of the men who had gone with David, responding, said: “Since they did not go with us, we will not give to them anything from the prey that we have rescued. But let his wife and children be enough for each of them; when they have accepted this, they may go back.”

23 Wtedy Dawid powiedział: Moi bracia, nie uczynicie tak z tym, co PAN nam dał. On nas strzegł i wydał w nasze ręce zgraję, która na nas napadła.

But David said: “You shall not do this, my brothers, with these things that the Lord has delivered to us, for he has preserved us, and he has given into our hands the robbers who broke out among us.

24 I któż was posłucha w tej sprawie? Bo jaki jest udział tego, który wyruszył na bitwę, taki też będzie udział tego, który został przy taborze; jednakowo się podzielą.

And so, let no one heed you over these words. But equal shall be the portion of him who descended to the battle, and of him who remained with the supplies, and they will divide it alike.”

25 I tak zostało od tego dnia na przyszłość: ustalono to jako prawo i zwyczaj w Izraelu aż do dziś.

And this has been done from that day and thereafter. And it was established as a statute, and as if a law, in Israel even to this day.

26 A gdy Dawid przybył do Siklag, posłał część łupu starszym Judy, swym przyjaciołom, ze słowami: Oto błogosławieństwo dla was z łupu wrogów PANA;

Then David went to Ziklag, and he sent gifts from the prey to the elders of Judah, his neighbors, saying, “Receive a blessing from the prey of the enemies of the Lord,”

27 Tym, którzy byli w Betel, i tym w Ramat na południu, i tym w Jattir;

to those who were in Bethel, and who were in Ramoth toward the south, and who were in Jattir,

28 I tym w Aroerze, i tym w Sifmot, i tym w Esztemoa;

and who were in Aroer, and who were in Siphmoth, and who were in Eshtemoa,

29 I tym w Rachal, i tym w miastach Jerachmeelitów, i tym w miastach Kenitów;

and who were in Racal, and who were in the cities of Jerahmeel, and who were in the cities of Keni,

30 I tym w Chorma, i tym w Choraszan, i tym w Atach;

and who were in Hormah, and who were at the lake of Ashan, and who were in Athach,

31 I tym w Hebronie, i tym we wszystkich miejscach, gdzie pomieszkiwał Dawid wraz ze swymi ludźmi.

and who were in Hebron, and to the remainder who were in those places where David had stayed, he and his men.
