1 Samuelova 13
1 Kad Saul bi car godinu dana a carova dvije godine nad Izrailjem
Saul was a child of one year when he began to reign, and he reigned two years over Israel.
2 Izabra sebi Saul tri tisuæe izmeðu sinova Izrailjevih; i bijahu kod Saula dvije tisuæe u Mihmasu i u gori Vetiljskoj, a jedna tisuæa s Jonatanom u Gavaji Venijaminovoj; a ostali narod raspusti u šatore njihove.
And Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel: and two thousand were with Saul in Machmas, and in mount Bethel: and a thousand with Jonathan in Gabaa of Benjamin, and the rest of the people he sent back every man to their dwellings.
3 I Jonatan pobi stražu Filistejsku koja bješe u Gavaji, i èuše za to Filisteji. A Saul zapovjedi, te trubiše u trube po svoj zemlji govoreæi: neka èuju Jevreji.
And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines which was in Gabaa. And when the Philistines had heard of it, Saul sounded the trumpet over all the land, saying: Let the Hebrews hear.
4 I tako èu sav Izrailj gdje rekoše: pobi Saul stražu Filistejsku; i stoga Izrailj omrznu Filistejima. I sazvan bi narod za Saulom u Galgal.
And all Israel heard this report: Saul hath smitten the garrison of the Philistines: and Israel took courage against the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Galgal.
5 A Filisteji se skupiše da vojuju na Izrailja, trideset tisuæa kola i šest tisuæa konjika, i mnoštvo naroda kao pijesak na brijegu morskom; i izašavši stadoše u oko u Mihmasu, s istoka od Vet-Avena.
The Philistines also were assembled to fight against Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and a multitude of people besides, like the sand on the sea shore for number. And going up they camped in Machmas at the east of Bethaven.
6 I Izrailjci se vidješe u nevolji, jer narod bi pritiješnjen; te se sakri u peæine i u èeste i u kamenjake i u rasjeline i u jame.
And when the men of Israel saw that they were straitened, (for the people were distressed, ) they hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in dens, and in pits.
7 A drugi Jevreji prijeðoše preko Jordana u zemlju Gadovu i Galadovu. A Saul još bijaše u Galgalu, i sav narod što iðaše za njim bijaše u strahu.
And some of the Hebrews passed over the Jordan into the land of Gad and Galaad. And when Saul was yet in Galgal, all the people that followed him were greatly afraid.
8 I poèeka sedam dana do roka Samuilova. Ali Samuilo ne doðe u Galgal; te se narod stade razlaziti od njega.
And he waited seven days according to the appointment of Samuel, I and Samuel came not to Galgal, and the people slipt away from him.
9 Tada reèe Saul: dodajte mi žrtvu paljenicu i žrtve zahvalne. I prinese žrtvu paljenicu.
Then Saul said: Bring me the holocaust, and the peace offerings. And he offered the holocaust.
10 I kad prinese žrtvu paljenicu, gle, doðe Samuilo. I Saul izide mu na susret da ga pozdravi.
And when he had made an end of offering the holocaust, behold Samuel came: and Saul went forth to meet him and salute him.
11 A Samuilo mu reèe: šta si uèinio? A Saul odgovori: kad vidjeh gdje se narod razlazi od mene, a ti ne doðe do roka, i Filisteji se skupili u Mihmasu,
And Samuel said to him: What hast thou done? Saul answered: Because I saw that the people slipt from me, and thou wast not come according to the days appointed, and the Philistines were gathered together in Machmas,
12 Rekoh: sad æe udariti Filisteji na me u Galgal, a ja se još ne pomolih Gospodu; te se usudih i prinesoh žrtvu paljenicu.
I said: Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Galgal, and I have not appeased the face of the Lord. Forced by necessity, I offered the holocaust.
13 Tada reèe Samuilo Saulu: ludo si radio što nijesi držao zapovijesti Gospoda Boga svojega, koju ti je zapovjedio; jer bi sada Gospod utvrdio carstvo tvoje nad Izrailjem dovijeka.
And Samuel said to Saul: Thou hast done foolishly, and hast not kept the commandments of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee. And if thou hadst not done thus, the Lord would now have established thy kingdom over Israel for ever.
14 A sada carstvo tvoje neæe se održati. Gospod je našao sebi èovjeka po srcu svojemu, i njemu je zapovjedio Gospod da bude voð narodu njegovu, jer nijesi držao što ti je zapovjedio Gospod.
But thy kingdom shall not continue. The Lord hath sought him a man according to his own heart: and him hath the Lord commanded to be prince over his people, because thou hast not observed that which the Lord commanded.
15 Potom diže se Samuilo i otide iz Galgala u Gavaju Venijaminovu. I Saul izbroji narod koji osta kod njega, i bješe ga do šest stotina ljudi.
And Samuel arose and went up from Galgal to Gabaa of Benjamin. And the rest of the people went up after Saul, to meet the people who fought against them, going from Galgal to Gabaa in the hill of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people, that were found with him, about six hundred men.
16 I Saul i sin mu Jonatan i narod što bješe s njima, stajahu u Gavaji Venijaminovoj; a Filisteji stajahu u okolu u Mihmasu.
And Saul and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, were in Gabaa of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Machmas.
17 I izidoše tri èete iz okola Filistejskoga da plijene: jedna èeta udari putem k Ofri u zemlju Sovalsku;
And there went out of the camp of the Philistines three companies to plunder. One company went towards the way of Ephra to the land of Sual;
18 A druga èeta udari putem k Vet-Oronu; a treæa udari putem k meði koja gleda prema dolini Sevojimskoj u pustinju.
And another went by the way of Beth-horon, and the third turned to the way of the border, above the valley of Seboim towards the desert.
19 A u cijeloj zemlji Izrailjskoj ne bješe kovaèa, jer Filisteji rekoše: da ne bi gradili Jevreji maèeva ni kopalja.
Now there was no smith to be found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines had taken this precaution, lest the Hebrews should make them swords or spears.
20 Zato slažahu svi Izrailjci k Filistejima kad koji šæaše poklepati raonik ili motiku ili sjekiru ili srp.
So all Israel went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his ploughshare, and his spade, and his axe, and his rake.
21 I bijahu se zatupili raonici i motike i vile troroge i sjekire, i same ostane trebaše zaoštriti.
So that their shares, and their spades, and their forks, and their axes were blunt, even to the goad, which was to be mended.
22 Zato kad doðe vrijeme boju, ne naðe se maèa ni koplja ni u koga u narodu koji bješe sa Saulom i Jonatanom; samo bijaše u Saula i u Jonatana sina njegova.
And when the day of battle was come, there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan, except Saul and Jonathan his son.
23 I straža Filistejska izide u klanac kod Mihmasa.
And the army of the Philistines went out in order to advance further in Machmas.
