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.

Then David went away from there, and he fled to the cave of Adullam. And when his brothers and all of his father’s house had heard of it, they descended 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 those left in distress, or oppressed by debt to strangers, or bitter in soul, gathered themselves to him. And he became their leader, and 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.

And David set out from there to Mizpah, which is of Moab. And he said to the king of Moab, “I beg you, let my father and my mother remain with you, until I know 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.

And he left them before the face of the king of Moab. And they stayed with him for all the days that 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.

And the prophet Gad said to David: “Do not choose to stay in the stronghold. Set out and go into the land of Judah.” And so, David set out, and he went into 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.

And Saul heard that David, and the men who were with him, had been seen. Now while Saul was staying in Gibeah, and while he was in the forest that is in Ramah, holding a spear in his hand, with 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?

he said to his servants who were assisting him: “Listen now, you sons of Benjamin! Will the son of Jesse give to all of you fields and vineyards, and will he make all of you tribunes or centurions,

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.

so that you would all conspire against me, and so that there is no one to inform me, especially when even my son has formed a pact with the son of Jesse? There is no one among you who grieves for my situation, or who would report to me. For my son has raised up my servant against me, seeking to betray me, even to this day.”

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

Then Doeg, the Edomite, who was standing near, and who was first among the servants of Saul, responding, said: “I saw the son of Jesse, in Nob, with Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, the priest.

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

And he consulted the Lord for him, and he gave him food. Moreover, he 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 to summon Ahimelech, the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all of his father’s house, the priests who were in Nob, and they all came before the king.

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

And Saul said to Ahimelech, “Listen, son of Ahitub.” He responded, “Here I am, lord.”

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 said to him: “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse? For you gave him bread and a sword, and you consulted the Lord for him, so that he might rise up against me, continuing as a traitor even to this day.”

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?

And responding to the king, Ahimelech said: “But who among all your servants is as faithful as David? And he is the son-in-law of the king, and he goes forth at your order, and he is a glory within 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.

Did I begin to consult the Lord for him today? May this be far from me! Let not the king suspect this kind of thing against his servant, nor against anyone in all my father’s house. For your servant did not know anything about this matter, either small or great.”

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

And the king said, “You shall die a death, 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.

And the king said to the emissaries who were standing around him: “You shall turn, and put to death the priests of the Lord. For their hand is with David. They knew that he had fled, and they did not reveal it to me.” But the servants of the king were not willing to extend their hands against 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.

And the king said to Doeg, “You shall turn and rush against the priests.” And Doeg, the Edomite, turned and rushed against the priests. And he massacred, on that day, eighty-five men, vested with 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.

Then he struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword; he struck down men and women, little ones and infants, as well as ox and donkey and sheep, with the edge of the sword.

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

But one of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, whose name was Abiathar, escaping, fled to David.

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

And he reported to him that Saul had slain 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.

And David said to Abiathar: “I knew, on that day when Doeg, the Edomite was there, that without doubt he would report it to Saul. I am guilty of all the souls of your father’s house.

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

You should remain with me. Do not be afraid. For he who seeks my life, seeks your life also, but with me you shall be saved.”
