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?
Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah and came and said to Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? What is my sin before your father, that he seeks to take 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.
Jonathan said to David, “Far from it; you will not die. My father does nothing either great or small without telling it to me. Why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so.”
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.
Yet David vowed again and said, “Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes. He has said, 'Do not let Jonathan know this, or he will be grieved.' But as truly as Yahweh lives, and as you live, there is but a step between me and death.”
4 A Jonatan reèe Davidu: šta želi duša tvoja? Ja æu ti uèiniti.
Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you say, I will do for you.”
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.
David said to Jonathan, “Tomorrow is the new moon, and I ought to sit down to eat with the king. But let me go, so that I may hide myself in the field until the third day at evening.
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 your father misses me at all, then say, 'David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city; because it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the clan.'
7 Ako reèe: dobro, biæe miran sluga tvoj; ako li se razgnjevi, znaj da je zlo naumio.
If he says, 'It is well,' your servant will have peace. But if he is very angry, then know that he has decided on evil.
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?
Therefore deal kindly with your servant. For you have brought your servant into a covenant of Yahweh with you. But if there is sin in me, kill me yourself; for why then should you bring me to your 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?
Jonathan said, “Far be it from you! If I learned my father decided harm to come upon you, would I not tell you?”
10 A David reèe Jonatanu: ko æe mi javiti ako ti otac odgovori što zlo?
Then David said to Jonathan, “Who will tell me if by chance your father should answer you roughly?”
11 A Jonatan reèe Davidu: hodi da izidemo u polje. I izidoše obojica u polje.
Jonathan said to David, “Come, let us go out into the field.” So they both went 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, “May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be witness. When I have questioned my father around this time tomorrow, or the third day, see, if there is good will toward David, will I not then send to you and make it known to you?
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.
If it pleases my father to do you harm, may Yahweh do to Jonathan and more also if I do not make it known to you and send you away, so that you may go in peace. May Yahweh be with you, as he has been with my father.
14 A i ti, dokle sam živ, èiniæeš meni milost Gospodnju da ne poginem;
If I am still alive, will you not show me the covenant faithfulness of Yahweh, that I may not die?
15 I neæeš ukratiti milosti svoje domu mojemu dovijeka, ni onda kad Gospod istrijebi sve neprijatelje Davidove sa zemlje.
Do not cut off your covenant faithfulness from my house forever—not even when Yahweh cuts off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth.”
16 Tako Jonatan uèini vjeru s domom Davidovijem govoreæi: Gospod neka traži iz ruku neprijatelja Davidovijeh.
So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David and said, “May Yahweh require an accounting from the hand of the enemies of David.”
17 I još zakle Jonatan Davida ljubavlju svojom k njemu, jer ga ljubljaše kao svoju dušu.
Jonathan made David vow again because of the love that he had for him, because he loved him as he loved his own soul.
18 Potom reèe mu Jonatan: sjutra je mladina, i pitaæe se za te, jer æe tvoje mjesto biti prazno.
Then Jonathan said to him, “Tomorrow is the new moon. You will be missed because your seat will be empty.
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.
When you have stayed three days, go down quickly and come to the place where you hid yourself when the business was in hand, and stay by the stone Ezel.
20 A ja æu baciti tri strijele ukraj toga kamena, kao da gaðam biljegu.
I will shoot three arrows to the side of it, as though I were shooting at a target.
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!
Then I will send my young man and say to him, 'Go find the arrows.' If I say to the young boy, 'Look, the arrows are on this side of you; get them,” then come; for there will be safety for you and not harm, as Yahweh lives.
22 Ako li ovako reèem momku: eto strijele su pred tobom tamo dalje; onda idi, jer te Gospod šalje.
“But if I say to the young man, 'Look, the arrows are beyond you,' then go your way, for Yahweh has sent you away.
23 A za ove rijeèi što rekosmo ja i ti, evo, Gospod je svjedok izmeðu mene i tebe dovijeka.
As for the agreement of which you and I have spoken, see, Yahweh is between you and me forever.'”
24 Potom se David sakri u polju; i doðe mladina, i car sjede za sto da jede.
So David hid himself in the field. When the new moon came, the king sat down to eat food.
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.
The king sat on his seat, as usual, on the seat by the wall. Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul's side. But David's place was empty.
26 I Saul ne reèe ništa onaj dan, jer mišljaše: dogodilo mu se štogod, te nije èist, zacijelo nije èist.
Yet Saul did not say anything that day, because he thought, “Something has happened to him. He is not clean; surely he is not clean.”
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?
But on the second day, the day after the new moon, David's place was empty. Saul said to Jonathan his son, “Why has the son of Jesse not come to the meal either yesterday or today?”
28 A Jonatan odgovori Saulu: vrlo me je molio David da otide do Vitlejema,
Jonathan answered Saul, “David earnestly asked permission from me 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.
He said, 'Please let me go. For our family has a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has ordered me to be there. Now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me go and see my brothers.' For this reason he has not come 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's anger burned against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?
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 Jesse lives on the earth, neither you nor your kingdom will be established. Now then, send and bring him to me, for he must surely die.”
32 A Jonatan odgovori Saulu ocu svojemu i reèe mu: zašto da se pogubi? šta je uèinio?
Jonathan answered Saul his father, “For what reason should he be put to death? What has he done?”
33 Tada se Saul baci kopljem na nj da ga ubije. Tada vidje Jonatan da je otac njegov naumio ubiti Davida.
Then Saul threw his spear at him to kill him. So Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death.
34 I usta Jonatan od stola gnjevan, i ništa ne jede drugi dan po mladini; jer se zabrinu za Davida, što ga otac osramoti.
Jonathan got up from the table in fierce anger and ate no food the second day of the month, for he was grieved over David, because his father had dishonored him.
35 A kad bi ujutru, izide Jonatan u polje u vrijeme kako bješe ugovorio s Davidom, i s njim jedno momèe.
In the morning, Jonathan went out into the field to the appointment with David, and a young man was with him.
36 I reèe momku svojemu: trèi da mi naðeš strijele koje æu pustiti. I momèe otrèa, a on pusti strijelu preko njega.
He said to his young man, “Run and find the arrows that I shoot.” As the young man ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
37 A kad doðe momak do mjesta kuda bješe zastrijelio Jonatan, viknu Jonatan za momkom govoreæi: nije li strijela dalje naprijed?
When the young man came to the place where the arrow that Jonathan shot had landed, Jonathan called after the young man, and said, “Is not the arrow beyond you?”
38 Još viknu Jonatan za momkom: brže, ne stoj. I momak Jonatanov pokupi strijele, i vrati se gospodaru svojemu.
Then Jonathan called after the young man, “Hurry, be quick, do not stay!” So Jonathan's young man gathered up the arrows and came to his master.
39 Ali momak ne znaše ništa, samo Jonatan i David znahu šta je.
But the young man did not know anything. 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 gave his weapons to his young man and said to him, “Go, take them to 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.
As soon as the young man was gone, David stood up from behind the mound, lay facedown on the ground, and bowed himself three times. They kissed one another and wept together, with David weeping the 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.
Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, because we have both sworn in the name of Yahweh and said, 'May Yahweh be between you and me, and between my descendants and your descendants, forever.'” Then David stood up and left, and Jonathan returned to the city.
