1 Samuelova 18
1 I kad svrši razgovor sa Saulom, duša Jonatanova prionu za dušu Davidovu, i Jonatan ga zapazi kao svoju dušu.
And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that, the soul of Jonathan, was knit with, the soul of David, so that Jonathan loved him, as his own soul.
2 I uze ga Saul taj dan, i ne dade mu da se vrati kuæi oca svojega.
And Saul took him, that day, —and suffered him not to return unto the house of his father.
3 I Jonatan uèini vjeru s Davidom, jer ga ljubljaše kao svoju dušu.
And Jonathan and David solemnised a covenant, —because he loved him as his own soul.
4 I skide Jonatan sa sebe plašt, koji nošaše, i dade ga Davidu, i odijelo svoje i maè svoj i luk svoj i pojas svoj.
And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe which was upon him, and gave it to David, —and his equipments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
5 I iðaše David na što ga god Saul pošiljaše, i bijaše sreæan, i postavi ga Saul nad vojnicima, i omilje svemu narodu, pa i slugama Saulovijem.
And David went forth—whithersoever Saul sent him, he behaved himself prudently, so Saul set him over the men of war, —and he became a favourite in the eyes of all the people, yea even in the eyes of the servants of Saul.
6 A kad se vraæahu, i kad se David vraæaše ubivši Filistejina, izlaziše žene iz svakoga grada Izrailjeva pjevajuæi i igrajuæi na susret caru Saulu, s bubnjima i s veseljem i guslama.
But so it was, when they came in on the return of David from the smiting of the Philistine, that the women went forth out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet Saul the king, —with timbrels, with rejoicing, and with instruments of three strings.
7 I otpijevajuæi žene jedne drugima uza svirke govorahu: Saul zgubi svoju tisuæu, ali David svojih deset tisuæa.
And the women that made merry responded to each other in song, and said, —Saul, hath smitten, his thousands, but, David, his, tens of thousands.
8 I razgnjevi se Saul vrlo, i ne biše mu po volji te rijeèi, i reèe: Davidu dadoše deset tisuæa, a meni dadoše tisuæu; još mu samo carstvo treba.
Then was Saul exceeding angry, and this saying was offensive in his eyes, and he said, —They have ascribed, to David, ten thousands, but, to me, have they ascribed thousands, —What, more, then, can he have but, the kingdom?
9 I od toga dana Saul gledaše poprijeko Davida.
And Saul was eyeing David from that day forward.
10 A sjutradan napade Saula zli duh Božji, te prorokovaše u kuæi, a David mu udaraše rukom svojom u gusle kao prije: a Saulu u ruci bješe koplje.
And, when it came to pass, on the morrow, that a superhuman spirit of sadness came suddenly upon Saul, and he was moved to raving in the midst of the house, —and, David, began playing with his hand, as he had done day by day, that a spear being in Saul’s hand,
11 I Saul baci koplje govoreæi: da prikujem Davida za zid. Ali mu se David izmaèe dva puta.
Saul hurled the spear, and said to himself—I will smite David, even to the wall! But David moved round from before him, twice.
12 I Saula bješe strah od Davida, jer Gospod bješe s njim, a od Saula bješe otstupio.
And Saul feared because of David, —for Yahweh was with him, whereas, from Saul, he had departed.
13 Zato ga ukloni Saul od sebe, i postavi ga tisuænikom; i on odlažaše i dolažaše pred narodom.
So Saul removed him from him, and appointed him to be for him the captain of a thousand, —and he went out and came in before the people.
14 I David bijaše sreæan u svemu što èinjaše, jer Gospod bijaše s njim.
And it came to pass that David, in all his ways, acted prudently, —and, Yahweh, was with him.
15 A Saul videæi da je veoma sreæan, bojaše ga se.
And, when Saul saw that, he, was acting very prudently, he was afraid of him.
16 A sav Izrailj i Juda ljubljaše Davida, jer on odlažaše i dolažaše pred njima.
But, all Israel and Judah, were in love with David, —for he was going out and coming in before them.
17 I reèe Saul Davidu: evo, kæer svoju stariju Meravu daæu ti za ženu, samo mi budi hrabar i vodi ratove Gospodnje. Jer Saul govoraše: neæu da se digne moja ruka na nj, nego Filistejska ruka neka se digne na nj.
So then Saul said unto David—Lo! my elder daughter Merab, her, will I give thee to wife, only, approve thyself unto me as a son of valour and fight the battles of Yahweh. Saul, however, had said to himself—Let not, my own hand, be upon him, but let, the hand of the Philistines, be upon him.
18 A David reèe Saulu: ko sam ja i kakav je život moj ili dom oca mojega u Izrailju, da budem zet carev?
And David said unto Saul—Who am, I, or who are my kinsfolk, the family of my father, in Israel, —that I should become son-in-law, to the king?
19 A kad doðe vrijeme da Meravu kæer Saulovu dadu Davidu, dadoše je Adrilu Meolaæaninu za ženu.
But it came to pass, within the time for giving Merab daughter of Saul to David, that, she, was given to Adriel the Meholathite, to wife.
20 Ali Davida ljubljaše Mihala kæi Saulova; a kad to javiše Saulu, bi mu po volji.
Then did Michal, Saul’s daughter, love David, —and it was told Saul, and the thing was right in his eyes.
21 I reèe Saul: daæu mu je da mu bude zamka i da se diže na nj ruka Filistejska. A Davidu reèe Saul: biæeš mi danas zet s drugom.
And Saul said to himself—I will give her unto him, that she may prove to him a snare, and that, the hand of the Philistines, may be upon him. So then Saul said unto David, A second time, mayest thou become my son-in-law to-day.
22 I zapovjedi Saul slugama svojim: recite Davidu tajno i govorite: gle, omilio si caru, i sve sluge njegove ljube te; budi sada zet carev.
And Saul commanded his servants—Speak ye unto David quietly saying, Lo! the king delighteth in thee, and, all his servants, love thee, —now, therefore, become thou son-in-law to the king.
23 I sluge Saulove rekoše te rijeèi Davidu, a David reèe: mislite li da je lako biti zet carev? ta ja sam siromah i mali èovjek.
And the servants of Saul spake, in the ears of David, these words. And David said—Seemeth it a light thing, in your eyes, to become son-in-law to the king, seeing that, I, am a poor man and lightly esteemed?
24 I Saulu javiše ovo sluge njegove govoreæi: ovako reèe David.
So the servants of Saul told him, saying, —According to these words, spake David,
25 A Saul reèe: ovako recite Davidu: ne traži car uzdarja, nego sto okrajaka Filistejskih, da se car osveti svojim neprijateljima. A Saul mišljaše kako bi David pao u ruke Filistejima.
Then said Saul—Thus, shall ye say unto David—The king hath no delight in purchase-price, but rather in a hundred foreskins of Philistines, by avenging himself on the enemies of the king. But, Saul, thought to let David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
26 I sluge njegove kazaše Davidu te rijeèi, i Davidu bi po volji da postane carev zet. I vrijeme se još ne navrši.
So, when his servants told David these words, the thing was right in the eyes of David, to become son-in-law unto the king, —and the days had not expired.
27 A David usta i otide sa svojim ljudima, i pobi dvjesta Filisteja. I donese David okrajke njihove, i dadoše ih na broj caru da bi postao carev zet. I Saul mu dade za ženu Mihalu kæer svoju.
Wherefore David arose, and went—he and his men, and smote among the Philistines two hundred men, and David brought in their foreskins, and gave them in full tale unto the king, that he might become son-in-law unto the king, and Saul gave him Michal his daughter, to wife.
28 I Saul vidje i pozna da je Gospod sa Davidom; i Mihala kæi Saulova ljubljaše ga.
And Saul saw and knew that, Yahweh, was with David, and that, all Israel, loved him.
29 A Saul se još veæma poboja Davida; i bijaše Saul jednako neprijatelj Davidu.
So then Saul went on to fear because of David, yet more, —and it came to pass that Saul was hostile to David, all the days.
30 A knezovi Filistejski udarahu; i kad god udarahu, David bijaše sreæniji od svijeh sluga Saulovijeh, i ime se njegovo vrlo proslavi.
And, when the princes of the Philistines came forth, so it was, that, as often as they came forth, David was more circumspect than any of the servants of Saul, so that his name was, precious exceedingly.
