1 Samuelova 22

1 Tada David otide odande i uteèe u peæinu Odolamsku. A kad to èuše braæa njegova i sav dom oca njegova, doðoše onamo k njemu.

So David left Gath and took refuge in the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and the rest of his father’s household heard about it, they went down to him there.

2 I skupiše se oko njega koji god bijahu u nevolji i koji bijahu zaduženi i koji god bijahu tužna srca; i on im posta poglavica; i bješe ih s njim oko èetiri stotine ljudi.

And all who were distressed or indebted or discontented rallied around him, and he became their leader. About four hundred men were with him.

3 I odande otide David u Mispu Moavsku, i reèe caru Moavskom: dopusti da se otac moj i mati moja sklone kod vas dokle vidim šta æe Bog uèiniti sa mnom.

From there David went to Mizpeh of Moab, where he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother stay with you until I learn what God will do for me.”

4 I izvede ih pred cara Moavskoga, i ostaše kod njega za sve vrijeme dokle David bješe u onom gradu.

So he left them in the care of the king of Moab, and they stayed with him the whole time David was in the stronghold.

5 Ali prorok Gad reèe Davidu: nemoj ostati u tom gradu, idi i vrati se u zemlju Judinu. I David otide i doðe u šumu Aret.

Then the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in the stronghold. Depart and go into the land of Judah.” So David left and went to the forest of Hereth.

6 A Saul èu da se pojavio David i ljudi što bijahu s njim. Tada Saul sjeðaše u Gavaji pod šumom u Rami, s kopljem u ruci, a sve sluge njegove stajahu pred njim.

Soon Saul learned that David and his men had been discovered. At that time Saul was in Gibeah, sitting under the tamarisk tree on the hill at Gibeah, with his spear in hand and all his servants standing around him.

7 I reèe Saul slugama svojim koje stajahu pred njim: èujte sinovi Venijaminovi; hoæe li vama svjema sin Jesejev dati njive i vinograde? hoæe li sve vas uèiniti tisuænicima i stotinicima?

Then Saul said to his servants, “Listen, men of Benjamin! Is the son of Jesse giving all of you fields and vineyards and making you commanders of thousands or hundreds?

8 Te ste se svi složili na me, i nema nikoga da mi javi da se moj sin složio sa sinom Jesejevijem, i nema nikoga meðu vama da mari za me i da mi javi da je sin moj podigao slugu mojega na me da mi zasjeda, kao što se danas vidi.

Is that why all of you have conspired against me? Not one of you told me that my own son had made a covenant with the son of Jesse. Not one of you has shown concern for me or revealed to me that my son has stirred up my own servant to lie in wait against me, as is the case today.”

9 Tada odgovori Doik Idumejac, koji stajaše sa slugama Saulovijem, i reèe: vidio sam sina Jesejeva gdje doðe u Nov k Ahimelehu sinu Ahitovovu.

But Doeg the Edomite, who had stationed himself with Saul’s servants, answered: “I saw the son of Jesse come to Ahimelech son of Ahitub at Nob.

10 On pita za nj Gospoda, i dade mu brašnjenice: i maè Golijata Filistejina dade mu.

Ahimelech inquired of the LORD for him and gave him provisions. He also gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”

11 Tada car posla da dovedu Ahimeleha sina Ahitovova sveštenika i sav dom oca njegova, sveštenike, koji bijahu u Novu. I doðoše svi k caru.

Then the king sent messengers to summon Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and his father’s whole family, who were priests at Nob. And all of them came to the king.

12 Tada reèe Saul: èuj sada sine Ahitovov. A on odgovori: evo me, gospodaru.

“Listen now, son of Ahitub,” said Saul. “Here I am, my lord,” he replied.

13 A Saul mu reèe: zašto ste se složili na me ti i sin Jesejev, te si mu dao hljeba i maè, i pitao si Boga za nj, da bi ustao na me da mi zasjeda, kao što se vidi danas?

And Saul asked him, “Why have you and the son of Jesse conspired against me? You gave him bread and a sword and inquired of God for him so that he could rise up against me to lie in wait, as he is doing today.”

14 A Ahimeleh odgovori caru i reèe: a ko je izmeðu svijeh sluga tvojih kao David, vjeran, i zet carev i poslušan tebi i poštovan u kuæi tvojoj?

Ahimelech answered the king, “Who among all your servants is as faithful as David, the king’s son-in-law, the captain of your bodyguard who is honored in your house?

15 Eda li sam sad prvi put pitao Gospoda za nj? Saèuvaj Bože! neka car ne bijedi takim èim sluge svojega niti koga u domu oca mojega; jer nije znao sluga tvoj od svega toga ništa.

Was that day the first time I inquired of God for him? Far be it from me! Let not the king accuse your servant or any of my father’s household, for your servant knew nothing of this whole affair—not in part or in whole.”

16 Ali car reèe: poginuæeš, Ahimeleše! i ti i sav dom oca tvojega.

But the king replied, “You will surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house!”

17 Tada car reèe slugama koje stajahu pred njim: okrenite se i pogubite sveštenike Gospodnje, jer je i njihova ruka s Davidom, i znajuæi da je pobjegao ne javiše mi. Ali sluge careve ne htješe podignuti ruke svoje da ulože na sveštenike Gospodnje.

Then the king ordered the guards at his side, “Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because they too sided with David. For they knew he was fleeing, but they did not tell me.” But the king’s servants would not lift a hand to strike the priests of the LORD.

18 Tada car reèe Doiku: okreni se ti, te uloži na sveštenike. I okrenuvši se Doik Idumejac uloži na sveštenike, i pobi ih onaj dan osamdeset i pet, koji nošahu opleæak laneni.

So the king ordered Doeg, “You turn and strike down the priests!” And Doeg the Edomite turned and struck down the priests himself. On that day he killed eighty-five men who wore the linen ephod.

19 I u Novu, gradu sveštenièkom, isijeèe oštrijem maèem i ljude i žene i djecu i koja sisahu, i volove, i magarce i sitnu stoku oštrijem maèem.

He also put to the sword Nob, the city of the priests, with its men and women, children and infants, oxen, donkeys, and sheep.

20 Ali uteèe jedan sin Ahimeleha sina Ahitovova, po imenu Avijatar, i pobježe k Davidu.

But one of the sons of Ahimelech son of Ahitub escaped. His name was Abiathar, and he fled to David.

21 I Avijatar javi Davidu da je Saul pobio sveštenike Gospodnje.

And Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the priests of the LORD.

22 A David reèe Avijataru: znao sam onoga dana kad je bio ondje Doik Idumejac da æe zacijelo kazati Saulu; ja sam kriv za sve duše doma oca tvojega.

Then David said to Abiathar, “I knew that Doeg the Edomite was there that day, and that he was sure to tell Saul. I myself am responsible for the lives of everyone in your father’s house.

23 Ostani kod mene, ne boj se; jer ko traži moju dušu, tražiæe i tvoju; kod mene æeš biti saèuvan.

Stay with me; do not be afraid, for he who seeks your life is seeking mine as well. You will be safe with me.”
