1 Samuelova 18
1 I kad svrši razgovor sa Saulom, duša Jonatanova prionu za dušu Davidovu, i Jonatan ga zapazi kao svoju dušu.
When he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
2 I uze ga Saul taj dan, i ne dade mu da se vrati kuæi oca svojega.
Saul took him that day, and wouldn’t let him go home to his father’s house any more.
3 I Jonatan uèini vjeru s Davidom, jer ga ljubljaše kao svoju dušu.
Then Jonathan and David made 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.
Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David with his clothing, even including his sword, his bow, and his sash.
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.
David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely; and Saul set him over the men of war. It was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.
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.
As they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.
7 I otpijevajuæi žene jedne drugima uza svirke govorahu: Saul zgubi svoju tisuæu, ali David svojih deset tisuæa.
The women sang to one another as they played, and said, “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten 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.
Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him. He said, “They have credited David with ten thousands, and they have only credited me with thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?”
9 I od toga dana Saul gledaše poprijeko Davida.
Saul watched David from that day and 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.
On the next day, an evil spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the middle of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;
11 I Saul baci koplje govoreæi: da prikujem Davida za zid. Ali mu se David izmaèe dva puta.
and Saul threw the spear, for he said, “I will pin David to the wall!” David escaped from his presence twice.
12 I Saula bješe strah od Davida, jer Gospod bješe s njim, a od Saula bješe otstupio.
Saul was afraid of David, because Yahweh was with him, and had departed from Saul.
13 Zato ga ukloni Saul od sebe, i postavi ga tisuænikom; i on odlažaše i dolažaše pred narodom.
Therefore Saul removed him from his presence, and made him his captain over 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.
David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Yahweh was with him.
15 A Saul videæi da je veoma sreæan, bojaše ga se.
When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
16 A sav Izrailj i Juda ljubljaše Davida, jer on odlažaše i dolažaše pred njima.
But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came 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.
Saul said to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab. I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight Yahweh’s battles.” For Saul said, “Don’t let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
18 A David reèe Saulu: ko sam ja i kakav je život moj ili dom oca mojega u Izrailju, da budem zet carev?
David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?”
19 A kad doðe vrijeme da Meravu kæer Saulovu dadu Davidu, dadoše je Adrilu Meolaæaninu za ženu.
But at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
20 Ali Davida ljubljaše Mihala kæi Saulova; a kad to javiše Saulu, bi mu po volji.
Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
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.
Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Therefore Saul said to David a second time, “You shall today be my son-in-law.”
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.
Saul commanded his servants, “Talk with David secretly, and say, ‘Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore be the king’s son-in-law.’”
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.
Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, “Does it seem to you a light thing to be the king’s son-in-law, since I am a poor man and little known?”
24 I Saulu javiše ovo sluge njegove govoreæi: ovako reèe David.
The servants of Saul told him, saying, “David spoke like this.”
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.
Saul said, “Tell David, ‘The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies.’” Now Saul thought he would make 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.
When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law. Before the deadline,
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.
David arose and went, he and his men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. Then David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife.
28 I Saul vidje i pozna da je Gospod sa Davidom; i Mihala kæi Saulova ljubljaše ga.
Saul saw and knew that Yahweh was with David; and Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved him.
29 A Saul se još veæma poboja Davida; i bijaše Saul jednako neprijatelj Davidu.
Saul was even more afraid of David; and Saul was David’s enemy continually.
30 A knezovi Filistejski udarahu; i kad god udarahu, David bijaše sreæniji od svijeh sluga Saulovijeh, i ime se njegovo vrlo proslavi.
Then the princes of the Philistines went out; and as often as they went out, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly esteemed.
