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?
And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is my iniquity? and what is my sin before 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, Far be it from thee; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will show it to me: and 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.
And David swore moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thy eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he should be grieved: but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.
4 A Jonatan reèe Davidu: šta želi duša tvoja? Ja æu ti uèiniti.
Then said Jonathan to David, Whatever thy soul desireth, I will even do it 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, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at the table: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to 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 thy father shall at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
7 Ako reèe: dobro, biæe miran sluga tvoj; ako li se razgnjevi, znaj da je zlo naumio.
If he shall say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he shall be very angry, then be sure that evil is determined by him.
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 thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: however, if there is in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me 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 it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil is determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?
10 A David reèe Jonatanu: ko æe mi javiti ako ti otac odgovori što zlo?
Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father shall answer thee roughly?
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 they went out both of them 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,
And Jonathan said to David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not to thee, and show it 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.
The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it shall please my father to do thee evil, then I will show it to thee, and 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 thou shalt not only while yet I live show me the kindness of the LORD, that I may not die:
15 I neæeš ukratiti milosti svoje domu mojemu dovijeka, ni onda kad Gospod istrijebi sve neprijatelje Davidove sa zemlje.
But also thou shalt not withdraw thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one 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, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David’s enemies.
17 I još zakle Jonatan Davida ljubavlju svojom k njemu, jer ga ljubljaše kao svoju dušu.
And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for 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 David, To morrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy 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.
And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.
20 A ja æu baciti tri strijele ukraj toga kamena, kao da gaðam biljegu.
And I will shoot three arrows on the side of it, as though I shot 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, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find the arrows. If I expressly say to the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for there is peace to thee, and no hurt; as the LORD liveth.
22 Ako li ovako reèem momku: eto strijele su pred tobom tamo dalje; onda idi, jer te Gospod šalje.
But if I say thus to the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way: 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 as to the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, 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 hid himself in the field: and when the new moon had come, 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.
And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, and 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.
Nevertheless Saul spoke not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen 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?
And it came to pass on the next day, which was the second day of the month, that David’s place was empty: and Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why cometh not the son of Jesse to eat, neither yesterday, nor to day?
28 A Jonatan odgovori Saulu: vrlo me je molio David da otide do Vitlejema,
And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of 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.
And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour in thy eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh 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’s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thy own shame, and to the shame of thy 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 liveth upon the earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Therefore now send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die.
32 A Jonatan odgovori Saulu ocu svojemu i reèe mu: zašto da se pogubi? šta je uèinio?
And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, Why shall he be slain? 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 cast a javelin at him to smite him: by which Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to slay 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 arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
35 A kad bi ujutru, izide Jonatan u polje u vrijeme kako bješe ugovorio s Davidom, i s njim jedno momèe.
And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad 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 lad, Run, find now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad 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?
And when the lad had come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?
38 Još viknu Jonatan za momkom: brže, ne stoj. I momak Jonatanov pokupi strijele, i vrati se gospodaru svojemu.
And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan’s lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
39 Ali momak ne znaše ništa, samo Jonatan i David znahu šta je.
But the lad knew not any thing: 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.
And Jonathan gave his weapons to his lad, and said to him, Go, carry 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.
And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, but David more so.
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, forasmuch as 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 he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
