1 Samuelova 20
1 A David pobježe iz Najota u Rami, i doðe i reèe Jonatanu: šta sam uèinio? kakva je krivica moja? i šta sam zgriješio ocu tvojemu, te traži dušu moju?
But David fled from Najoth, which is in Ramatha, and came and said to Jonathan: What have I done? what is my iniquity, and what is my sin against thy father, that he seeketh my life?
2 A on mu reèe: saèuvaj Bože! neæeš ti poginuti. Evo otac moj ne èini ništa, ni veliko ni malo, a da meni ne kaže; a kako bi to tajio od mene otac moj? Neæe to biti.
And he said to him: God forbid, thou shalt not die: for my father will do nothing great or little, without first telling me: hath then my father hid this word only from me? no, this shall not be.
3 A David zaklinjuæi se opet reèe: otac tvoj zna dobro da sam našao ljubav u tebe, pa veli: ne treba da dozna za ovo Jonatan, da se ne ožalosti. Ali tako živ bio Gospod i tako živa bila duša tvoja, samo je jedan korak izmeðu mene i smrti.
And he swore again to David. And David said: Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, and he will say: Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved. But truly as the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, there is but one step (as I may say) between me and death.
4 A Jonatan reèe Davidu: šta želi duša tvoja? Ja æu ti uèiniti.
And Jonathan said to David: Whatsoever thy soul shall say to me, I will do for thee.
5 I David reèe Jonatanu: evo sjutra je mladina, kad treba s carem da jedem, pusti me dakle da se sakrijem u polju do treæega veèera.
And David said to Jonathan: Behold tomorrow is the new moon, and I according to custom am wont to sit beside the king to eat: let me go then that I may be hid in the field till the evening of the third day.
6 Ako zapita za me otac tvoj, ti reci: vrlo mi se molio David da otrèi u Vitlejem grad svoj, jer je ondje godišnja žrtva svega roda njegova.
If thy father look and inquire for me, thou shalt answer him: David asked me that he might run to Bethlehem his own city: because there are solemn sacrifices there for all his tribe.
7 Ako reèe: dobro, biæe miran sluga tvoj; ako li se razgnjevi, znaj da je zlo naumio.
If he shall say, It is well: thy servant shall have peace: but if he be angry, know that his malice is come to its height.
8 Uèini dakle milost sluzi svojemu, kad si vjeru Gospodnju uhvatio sa slugom svojim; ako je kaka krivica na meni, ubij me sam, jer zašto bi me vodio k ocu svojemu?
Deal mercifully then with thy servant: for thou hast brought me thy servant into a covenant of the Lord with thee. But if there be any iniquity in me, do thou kill me, and bring me not in to thy father.
9 A Jonatan mu reèe: Bože saèuvaj; jer da doznam da je otac moj naumio zlo da te zadesi, zar ti ne bih javio?
And Jonathan said: Far be this from thee: for if I should certainly know that evil is determined by my father against thee, I could do no otherwise than tell thee.
10 A David reèe Jonatanu: ko æe mi javiti ako ti otac odgovori što zlo?
And David answered Jonathan: Who shall bring me word, if thy father should answer thee harshly concerning me?
11 A Jonatan reèe Davidu: hodi da izidemo u polje. I izidoše obojica u polje.
And Jonathan said to David: Come and let us go out into the field. And when they were both of them gone out into the field,
12 I Jonatan reèe Davidu: Gospode Bože Izrailjev! kad iskušam oca svojega sjutra u ovo doba ili prekosjutra, i bude dobro po Davida, ako ne pošljem k tebi i ne javim ti,
Jonathan said to David: O Lord God of Israel, if I shall discover my father’s mind, tomorrow or the day after, and there be any thing good for David, and I send not immediately to thee, and make it known to thee,
13 Neka Gospod uèini tako Jonatanu i tako neka doda. Ako li otac moj bude naumio da ti uèini zlo, ja æu ti javiti, i opraviæu te, i otiæi æeš s mirom; i Gospod neka bude s tobom kao što je bio s ocem mojim.
May the Lord do so and so to Jonathan and add still more. But if my father shall continue in malice against thee, I will discover it to thy ear, and will send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace, and the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
14 A i ti, dokle sam živ, èiniæeš meni milost Gospodnju da ne poginem;
And if I live, thou shalt shew me the kindness of the Lord: but if I die,
15 I neæeš ukratiti milosti svoje domu mojemu dovijeka, ni onda kad Gospod istrijebi sve neprijatelje Davidove sa zemlje.
Thou shalt not take away thy kindness from my house for ever, when the Lord shall have rooted out the enemies of David, every one of them from the earth, may he take away Jonathan from his house, and may the Lord require it at the hands of David’s enemies.
16 Tako Jonatan uèini vjeru s domom Davidovijem govoreæi: Gospod neka traži iz ruku neprijatelja Davidovijeh.
Jonathan therefore made a covenant with the house of David: and the Lord required it at the hands of David’s enemies.
17 I još zakle Jonatan Davida ljubavlju svojom k njemu, jer ga ljubljaše kao svoju dušu.
And Jonathan swore again to David, because he loved him: for he loved him as his own soul.
18 Potom reèe mu Jonatan: sjutra je mladina, i pitaæe se za te, jer æe tvoje mjesto biti prazno.
And Jonathan said to him: Tomorrow is the new moon, and thou wilt be missed:
19 A ti èekaj do treæega dana, pa onda otidi brzo i doði na mjesto gdje si se bio sakrio kad se ovo radilo, i sjedi kod kamena Ezila.
For thy seat will be empty till after tomorrow. So thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place, where thou must be hid on the day when it is lawful to work, and thou shalt remain beside the stone, which is called Ezel.
20 A ja æu baciti tri strijele ukraj toga kamena, kao da gaðam biljegu.
And I will shoot three arrows near it, and will shoot as if I were exercising myself at a mark.
21 I evo poslaæu momka govoreæi mu: idi, naði strijele. Ako reèem momku: eto strijele su za tobom ovamo bliže, digni ih; tada doði, dobro je po te, i neæe ti biti ništa, tako živ bio Gospod!
And I will send a boy, saying to him: Go and fetch me the arrows.
22 Ako li ovako reèem momku: eto strijele su pred tobom tamo dalje; onda idi, jer te Gospod šalje.
If I shall say to the boy: Behold the arrows are on this side of thee, take them up: come thou to me, because, there is peace to thee, and there is no evil, as the Lord liveth. But if I shall speak thus to the boy: Behold the arrows are beyond thee: go in peace, for the Lord hath sent thee away.
23 A za ove rijeèi što rekosmo ja i ti, evo, Gospod je svjedok izmeðu mene i tebe dovijeka.
And concerning the word which I and thou have spoken, the Lord be between thee and me for ever.
24 Potom se David sakri u polju; i doðe mladina, i car sjede za sto da jede.
So David was hid in the field, and the new moon came, and the king sat down to eat bread.
25 A kad car sjede na svoje mjesto, po obièaju na mjesto kod zida, Jonatan usta, a Avenir sjede do Saula, a mjesto Davidovo bješe prazno.
And when the king sat down upon his chair (according to custom) which was beside the wall, Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, and David’s place appeared empty.
26 I Saul ne reèe ništa onaj dan, jer mišljaše: dogodilo mu se štogod, te nije èist, zacijelo nije èist.
And Saul said nothing that day, for he thought it might have happened to him, that he was not clean, nor purified.
27 A sjutradan, drugi dan mjeseca, opet bješe prazno mjesto Davidovo, a Saul reèe Jonatanu sinu svojemu: zašto sin Jesejev ne doðe na objed ni juèe ni danas?
And when the second day after the new moon was come, David’s place appeared empty again. And Saul said to Jonathan his son: Why cometh not the son of Isai to meat neither yesterday nor today?
28 A Jonatan odgovori Saulu: vrlo me je molio David da otide do Vitlejema,
And Jonathan answered Saul: He asked leave of me earnestly to go to Bethlehem,
29 Rekavši: pusti me, jer porodica naša ima žrtvu u gradu, i sam mi je brat zapovjedio; ako sam dakle našao milost pred tobom, da otidem i vidim braæu svoju. Zato nije došao na carev objed.
And he said: Let me go, for there is a solemn sacrifice in the city, one of my brethren hath sent for me: and now if I have found favour in thy eyes, I will go quickly, and see my brethren. For this cause he came not to the king’s table.
30 Tada se razgnjevi Saul na Jonatana, te mu reèe: nevaljali i neposlušni sine! zar ja ne znam da si izabrao sina Jesejeva sebi na sramotu i na sramotu svojoj nevaljaloj majci?
Then Saul being angry against Jonathan said to him: Thou son of a woman that is the ravisher of a man, do I not know that thou lovest the son of Isai to thy own confusion and to the confusion of thy shameless mother?
31 Jer dokle je živ sin Jesejev na zemlji, neæeš se utvrditi ni ti ni carstvo tvoje; zato pošlji sada i dovedi ga k meni, jer je zaslužio smrt.
For as long as the son of Isai liveth upon earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Therefore now presently send, and fetch him to me: for he is the son of death.
32 A Jonatan odgovori Saulu ocu svojemu i reèe mu: zašto da se pogubi? šta je uèinio?
And Jonathan answering Saul his father, said: Why shall he die: what hath he done?
33 Tada se Saul baci kopljem na nj da ga ubije. Tada vidje Jonatan da je otac njegov naumio ubiti Davida.
And Saul caught up a spear to strike him. And Jonathan understood that it was determined by his father to kill David.
34 I usta Jonatan od stola gnjevan, i ništa ne jede drugi dan po mladini; jer se zabrinu za Davida, što ga otac osramoti.
So Jonathan rose from the table in great anger, and did not eat bread on the second day after the new moon. For he was grieved for David, because his father had put him to confusion.
35 A kad bi ujutru, izide Jonatan u polje u vrijeme kako bješe ugovorio s Davidom, i s njim jedno momèe.
And when the morning came, Jonathan went into the field, according to the appointment with David, and a little boy with him.
36 I reèe momku svojemu: trèi da mi naðeš strijele koje æu pustiti. I momèe otrèa, a on pusti strijelu preko njega.
And he said to his boy: Go, and fetch me the arrows which I shoot. And when the boy ran, he shot another arrow beyond the boy.
37 A kad doðe momak do mjesta kuda bješe zastrijelio Jonatan, viknu Jonatan za momkom govoreæi: nije li strijela dalje naprijed?
The boy therefore came to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot: and Jonathan cried after the boy, and said: Behold the arrow is there further beyond thee.
38 Još viknu Jonatan za momkom: brže, ne stoj. I momak Jonatanov pokupi strijele, i vrati se gospodaru svojemu.
And Jonathan cried again after the boy, saying: Make haste speedily, stand not. And Jonathan’s boy gathered up the arrows, and brought them to his master:
39 Ali momak ne znaše ništa, samo Jonatan i David znahu šta je.
And he knew not at all what was doing: for only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
40 I Jonatan dade oružje svoje momku koji bijaše s njim, i reèe mu: idi, odnesi u grad.
Jonathan therefore gave his arms to the boy, and said to him: Go, and carry them into the city.
41 I kad momak otide, David usta s južne strane i pade nièice na zemlju i pokloni se tri puta, i poljubiše se, i plakaše obojica, a David osobito.
And when the boy was gone, David rose out of his place, which was towards the south, and falling on his face to the ground, adored thrice: and kissing one another, they wept together, but David more.
42 I reèe Jonatan Davidu: idi s mirom, kao što smo se zakleli obojica imenom Gospodnjim rekavši: Gospod da je svjedok izmeðu mene i tebe i izmeðu mojega sjemena i tvojega sjemena dovijeka. I tako David ustavši otide, a Jonatan se vrati u grad.
And Jonathan said to David: Go in peace: and let all stand that we have sworn both of us in the name of the Lord, saying: The Lord be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And David arose, and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
