1 Samuelova 13
1 Kad Saul bi car godinu dana a carova dvije godine nad Izrailjem
Saul was [thirty] years old when he began to reign; and, when he had 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.
Saul chose him three thousand men out of Israel, of whom there were with Saul, two thousand in Michmash and in the hill-country of Bethel, and, a thousand, were with Jonathan, in Gibeah of Benjamin, —but, the rest of the people, he let go, every man to his own home.
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.
Then did Jonathan smite the garrison of Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it, —and, Saul, blew with a horn throughout 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 say—Saul hath smitten the garrison of the Philistines, Moreover, also, Israel have made themselves odious among the Philistines, —so the people were called together to follow Saul, to Gilgal.
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.
And, the Philistines, gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, a people also like the sand that is on the sea-shore for multitude, —and they came up, and encamped in Michmash, east of Beth-aven.
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.
So, the men of Israel, saw they were in a strait, for the people had been harassed, —and the people had hidden themselves in caves, and in thickets, and among cliffs, and in holes, 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, Hebrews, had passed over the Jordan, to the land of Gad, and Gilead, —but, Saul, was yet in Gilgal, and all the people, trembled after him.
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, by the set time that Samuel had named, but Samuel came not to Gilgal, —and the people were scattered from him.
9 Tada reèe Saul: dodajte mi žrtvu paljenicu i žrtve zahvalne. I prinese žrtvu paljenicu.
Then said Saul, Bring near unto me, the ascending-sacrifice and the peace-offerings. And he offered up the ascending-sacrifice.
10 I kad prinese žrtvu paljenicu, gle, doðe Samuilo. I Saul izide mu na susret da ga pozdravi.
And it came to pass, as he had made an end of offering up the ascending-sacrifice, lo! Samuel, had come, —and Saul went out to meet him, that he might bless 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,
Then said Samuel—What hast thou done? And Saul said—Because I saw that the people had been scattered from me, and, thou, hadst not come within the appointed days, and, the Philistines, had gathered themselves together to Michmash,
12 Rekoh: sad æe udariti Filisteji na me u Galgal, a ja se još ne pomolih Gospodu; te se usudih i prinesoh žrtvu paljenicu.
therefore I said—Now, will the Philistines come down against me, at Gilgal, but, the face of Yahweh, have I not appeased: So I forced myself, and offered up the ascending-sacrifice.
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 unto Saul—Thou hast shewn thyself foolish, —thou hast not kept the commandment of Yahweh thy God, which he commanded thee, for, now, would Yahweh have established thy kingdom unto Israel until times age-abiding;
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.
Whereas, now, shall thy kingdom not be established, —Yahweh hath sought out for him a man after his own heart, and Yahweh hath commanded him to be leader over his people, because thou hast not kept that which Yahweh commanded thee.
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 ascended from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who 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.
Now, Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were found with him, were abiding in Geba of Benjamin, —but, the Philistines, had encamped in Michmash.
17 I izidoše tri èete iz okola Filistejskoga da plijene: jedna èeta udari putem k Ofri u zemlju Sovalsku;
And the spoilers came forth out of the camp of the Philistines, in three companies, the first company, turned unto the way of Ophrah, unto the land of Shual;
18 A druga èeta udari putem k Vet-Oronu; a treæa udari putem k meði koja gleda prema dolini Sevojimskoj u pustinju.
and, the second company, turned unto the way of Beth-horon, —and, the third company, turned unto the way of the boundary that overlooketh the valley of Zeboim, towards the wilderness.
19 A u cijeloj zemlji Izrailjskoj ne bješe kovaèa, jer Filisteji rekoše: da ne bi gradili Jevreji maèeva ni kopalja.
Now, a smith, could not be found, throughout all the land of Israel—for the Philistines had said, Lest the Hebrews make sword or spear.
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 share, and his mattock, and his axe, and his sickle.
21 I bijahu se zatupili raonici i motike i vile troroge i sjekire, i same ostane trebaše zaoštriti.
Howbeit they had a file for the sickles, and the mattocks, and the three-pronged forks, and the axes, —and for setting the goads.
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.
Thus would it come to pass, in the day of battle, that there was found—neither sword nor spear, in the hand of any of the people, that were with Saul and Jonathan, but such were found belonging to Saul and to Jonathan his son.
23 I straža Filistejska izide u klanac kod Mihmasa.
Now the garrison of the Philistines had come out to the pass of Michmash.
