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.
David escaped and went to the cave of Adullam. When they heard where he was his brothers and all the rest of his family went and joined 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.
Everyone who was in trouble or in debt or resentful also came to him and he became their leader. He had around four hundred men 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.
Then David went to Mizpeh in the country of Moab. He asked the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother come and stay with you until I find out what God is planning 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 with the king of Moab, and they stayed with the king all the time David lived 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.
But then the prophet Gad told David, “Do not stay in the stronghold. Go back to 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.
Saul found out that David had returned and where he was. Saul was sitting under the tamarisk tree on the hill in Gibeah. He had his spear in his hand, with all his officials surrounding 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?
Saul said to them, “Listen to me, you men of Benjamin! Is the son of Jesse going to give all of you fields and vineyards and make you commanders and officers in the army?
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 you've all plotted against me? Not a single one of you told me that my own son had made an agreement with Jesse's son. Not a single one of you has shown you cared about me, or explained to me that my son has encouraged him to try and kill me, which is what he's doing right now!”
9 Tada odgovori Doik Idumejac, koji stajaše sa slugama Saulovijem, i reèe: vidio sam sina Jesejeva gdje doðe u Nov k Ahimelehu sinu Ahitovovu.
Doeg the Edomite, who was standing there with Saul's officers, spoke up, saying, “I saw the son of Jesse visit Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, at Nob.
10 On pita za nj Gospoda, i dade mu brašnjenice: i maè Golijata Filistejina dade mu.
Ahimelech asked advice from the Lord for him and gave him food. He gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine as well.”
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.
The king sent a message to summon Ahimelech the priest, son of Ahitub, and all his family, who were priests at Nob. They all came to the king.
12 Tada reèe Saul: èuj sada sine Ahitovov. A on odgovori: evo me, gospodaru.
“Now you listen, son of Ahitub,” the king shouted. “What is it, my lord?” Ahimelech asked.
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?
“Why have you and the son of Jesse plotted against me? You gave him bread and a sword, and asked advice from God for him so that he could rebel against me and try and kill me, which is what he's doing right now!”
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?
“Who of all your officers is as trustworthy as David, the king's son-in-law? He is in charge of your bodyguard, and highly respected in your family!” Ahimelech responded.
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.
“And was that day the first time he asked advice from God on his behalf? Of course not! The king should not accuse me your servant or any of my family, for I didn't know anything about any of this.”
16 Ali car reèe: poginuæeš, Ahimeleše! i ti i sav dom oca tvojega.
“You're going to die for this!” the king declared. “You and all your family!”
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 turned to his bodyguards standing there and ordered them, “Kill these priests of the Lord, because they're on David's side! They knew he was a fugitive and yet they didn't tell me!” But the king's guards refused to attack 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 kill the priests!” Doeg the Edomite attacked and killed the priests, killing eighty-five men wearing the priestly 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 went to Nob, the town of the priests, and slaughtered its men and women, children and infants, cattle, 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, managed to escape. His name was Abiathar, and he ran away and joined David.
21 I Avijatar javi Davidu da je Saul pobio sveštenike Gospodnje.
He 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.
David told Abiathar, “I knew that day when Doeg the Edomite was there that he was going to tell Saul about it. It's my fault that all your family have died.
23 Ostani kod mene, ne boj se; jer ko traži moju dušu, tražiæe i tvoju; kod mene æeš biti saèuvan.
But you can stay with me and you don't need to be afraid, because the man who wants to kill you wants to kill me too. I'll take good care of you.”
