1 Samuelova 23

1 Tada javiše Davidu govoreæi: evo Filisteji udariše na Keilu, i haraju gumna.

Then told they David, saying, —Lo! the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are plundering the threshing-floors.

2 I upita David Gospoda govoreæi: hoæu li iæi i udariti na te Filisteje? A Gospod reèe Davidu: idi, i pobiæeš Filisteje i izbaviti Keilu.

So David enquired of Yahweh, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And Yahweh said unto David—Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah.

3 A Davidu rekoše ljudi njegovi: evo nas je strah ovdje u Judinoj zemlji, a šta æe biti kad poðemo u Keilu na oko Filistejski.

But the men of David said unto him, Lo! we, here, in Judah, are afraid, —how much more, then, if we go to Keilah, against the ranks of the Philistines?

4 Zato David opet upita Gospoda, a Gospod mu odgovori i reèe: ustani, idi u Keilu, jer æu ja predati Filisteje u ruke tvoje.

So David yet again enquired if Yahweh, and Yahweh answered him, —and said—Arise, go down to Keilah, for I am about to deliver the Philistines into thy hand.

5 Tada otide David sa svojim ljudima u Keilu, i udari na Filisteje, i otjera im stoku, i pobi ih ljuto; tako izbavi David stanovnike Keilske.

David therefore went, with his men, to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and drave forth their cattle, and smote them, with a great smiting, so David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.

6 A kad Avijatar sin Ahimelehov pobježe k Davidu u Keilu, donese sobom opleæak.

Now it came to pass, when Abiathar, son of Ahimelech, fled unto David to Keilah, that he came down with, an ephod, in his hand.

7 Potom javiše Saulu da je David došao u Keilu; i reèe Saul: dao ga je Bog u moje ruke, jer se zatvorio ušavši u grad, koji ima vrata i prijevornice.

And, when it was told Saul that David had entered Keilah, Saul said—God hath given him over into my hand, for he hath shut himself in by entering into a city with folding doors and bar.

8 I sazva Saul sav narod na vojsku da ide na Keilu i opkoli Davida i ljude njegove.

So Saul summoned all the people to war, —to go down to Keilah, to besiege David, and his men.

9 Ali David doznavši da mu Saul zlo kuje, reèe Avijataru svešteniku: uzmi na se opleæak.

And David ascertained that, against him, Saul was contriving mischief, —so he said unto Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod.

10 I reèe David: Gospode Bože Izrailjev! èuo je sluga tvoj da se Saul sprema da doðe na Keilu da raskopa grad mene radi.

Then said David: O Yahweh, God of Israel, thy servant, hath heard, that Saul is seeking to come unto Keilah, —to destroy the city, for my sake:

11 Hoæe li me Keiljani predati u njegove ruke? hoæe li doæi Saul kao što je èuo sluga tvoj? Gospode Bože Izrailjev! kaži sluzi svojemu. A Gospod odgovori: doæi æe.

Will the owners of Keilah surrender me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O Yahweh, God of Israel, I pray thee, tell thy servant. And Yahweh said—He will come down.

12 Opet reèe David: Keiljani hoæe li predati mene i moje ljude u ruke Saulove? A Gospod odgovori: predaæe.

Then said David, Will the owners of Keilah surrender me and my men, into the hand of Saul? And Yahweh said—They will surrender.

13 Tada se David podiže sa svojim ljudima, oko šest stotina ljudi, i otidoše iz Keile, i idoše kuda mogoše. A kad Saulu javiše da je David pobjegao iz Keile, tada on ne htje iæi.

Then arose David and his men, about six hundred, and went forth out of Keilah, and went to and fro, whithersoever they could, —and, unto Saul, it was told that David had escaped out of Keilah, so he forbare to go forth.

14 A David se bavljaše u pustinji po tvrdijem mjestima, i namjesti se na jednom brdu u pustinji Zifu. A Saul ga tražaše jednako, ali ga Gospod ne dade u njegove ruke.

Then David abode in the wilderness, in the fortresses, and he abode in the hill country, in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him continually, but God delivered him not into his hand.

15 I David videæi da je Saul izašao te traži dušu njegovu, osta u pustinji Zifu, u šumi.

Then David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life, David, being in the wilderness of Ziph, in the thicket.

16 A Jonatan sin Saulov podiže se i doðe k Davidu u šumu, i ukrijepi mu ruku u Gospodu;

So Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose and went unto David in the thicket, —and strengthened his hand in God;

17 I reèe mu: ne boj se, jer te neæe stignuti ruka cara Saula oca mojega; nego æeš carovati nad Izrailjem, a ja æu biti drugi za tobom; i Saul otac moj zna to.

and said unto him, —Do not fear, for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee, but, thou, shalt become king over Israel, and, I, shall be, next, unto thee, yea and, Saul my father, knoweth this.

18 I uèiniše njih dvojica vjeru pred Gospodom; i David osta u šumi, a Jonatan otide kuæi svojoj.

And they two solemnised a covenant before Yahweh, —and David remained in the thicket, but, Jonathan, departed to his own house.

19 Tada doðoše Zifeji k Saulu u Gavaju, i rekoše: ne krije li se David kod nas po tvrdijem mjestima u šumi na brdu Eheli nadesno od Gesimona?

Then came up the Ziphites unto Saul in Gibeah, saying, —Is not David hiding himself with us, in the strongholds in the thicket, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the right of Jeshimon?

20 Sada dakle po svoj želji duše svoje, care, izidi, a naše æe biti da ga predamo u ruke caru.

Now, therefore, according to all the desire of thy soul O king, to come down, come! and, ours, [will it be] to surrender him into the hand of the king.

21 A Saul reèe: Gospod da vas blagoslovi, što me požaliste.

Then said Saul, Blessed, be ye, of Yahweh, —because ye have taken pity upon me.

22 Idite sada i doznajte još bolje i razberite i promotrite gdje se sakrio i ko ga je ondje vidio; jer mi kažu da je vrlo lukav.

Go, I pray you, make ready yet further, and get to know and see his place, where may be his track, who hath seen him there, —for it hath been said unto me, Cunning indeed, is, he!

23 Promotrite i vidite sva mjesta gdje se krije, pa opet doðite k meni kad dobro doznate, i ja æu poæi s vama; i ako bude u zemlji, tražiæu ga po svijem tisuæama Judinijem.

See, then, and get to know—of all the hiding places, where he hideth himself, and return unto me, for certainty, then will I go with you, —and it shall be, if he is in the land, that I will search him out, through all the thousands of Judah.

24 Tada ustaše i otidoše u Zif prije Saula; a David i ljudi njegovi bijahu u pustinji Maonu u ravnici nadesno od Gesimona.

So they arose and departed to Ziph, before Saul, —but, David and his men, were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah, to the right of Jeshimon.

25 I Saul izide sa svojim ljudima da ga traži; a Davidu javiše, te on siðe sa stijene i stade u pustinji Maonu. A Saul kad to èu, otide za Davidom u pustinju Maon.

Then Saul and his men departed, to seek [him]; but it had been told David, and he had gone down the cliff, and taken up his abode in the wilderness of Maon, —and when Saul had, heard it, he pursued David in the wilderness of Maon.

26 I Saul iðaše jednom stranom planine, a David sa svojim ljudima drugom stranom planine; i David hiæaše da uteèe Saulu, jer Saul sa svojim ljudima opkoljavaše Davida i njegove ljude da ih pohvata.

And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and, David and his men, on that side of the mountain, —wherefore David became hurried, to get away from the presence of Saul, but, Saul and his men, were surrounding David and his men, to capture then:

27 U tom doðe glasnik Saulu govoreæi: brže hodi; jer Filisteji udariše na zemlju.

when, a messenger, came unto Saul, saying, —Haste thee and come! for the Philistines have spread over the land.

28 Tada se vrati Saul ne tjerajuæi dalje Davida, i otide pred Filisteje. Otuda se prozva ono mjesto Sela-Amalekot.

Then returned Saul from pursuing David, and departed to meet the Philistines, —for which cause, they called that place Sela-hammahlekoth ["the Cliff of Separation"].

29 A David otišavši odande stade na tvrdijem mjestima Engadskim.

And David went up from thence, —and abode in the strongholds of En-gedi.
