1 Samuelova 24
1 I kad se Saul vrati odagnavši Filisteje, rekoše mu govoreæi: eno Davida u pustinji Engadskoj.
When Saul was turned from ye Philistims, they told him, saying, Behold, Dauid is in the wildernes of En-gedi.
2 Tada uze Saul tri tisuæe ljudi izabranijeh iz svega Izrailja, i otide da traži Davida i ljude njegove po vrletima gdje su divokoze.
Then Saul tooke three thousande chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seeke Dauid and his men vpon the rocks among the wilde goates.
3 I doðe k torovima ovèijim ukraj puta gdje bijaše peæina; i Saul uðe u nju rad sebe; a David i njegovi ljudi sjeðahu u kraju u peæini.
And hee came to the sheepecoates by the way where there was a caue, and Saul went in to do his easement: and Dauid and his men sate in the inward parts of the caue.
4 I rekoše Davidu ljudi njegovi: evo dana, za koji ti reèe Gospod: evo ja ti predajem neprijatelja tvojega u ruke da uèiniš s njim što ti je volja. I David usta, te polako otsijeèe skut od plašta Saulova.
And the men of Dauid said vnto him, See, the day is come, whereof the Lord sayde vnto thee, Beholde, I will deliuer thine enemie into thine hande, and thou shalt doe to him as it shall seeme good to thee. Then Dauid arose and cut off the lap of Sauls garment priuily.
5 A poslije zadrhta srce Davidu što otsijeèe skut Saulu.
And afterward Dauid was touched in his heart, because he had cut off the lappe which was on Sauls garment.
6 I reèe svojim ljudima: ne dao Bog da to uèinim gospodaru svojemu, pomazaniku Gospodnjemu, da podignem ruku svoju na nj. Jer je pomazanik Gospodnji.
And he said vnto his men, The Lord keepe mee from doing that thing vnto my master the Lords Anoynted, to lay mine hand vpon him: for he is the Anoynted of the Lord.
7 I odvrati rijeèima David ljude svoje i ne dade im da ustanu na Saula. I Saul izašav iz peæine poðe svojim putem.
So Dauid ouercame his seruants with these words, and suffered them not to arise against Saul: so Saul rose vp out of the caue and went away.
8 Potom David usta, i izašav iz peæine stade vikati za Saulom govoreæi: care gospodine! A Saul se obazre, a David se savi licem do zemlje i pokloni se.
Dauid also arose afterward, and went out of the caue, and cryed after Saul, saying, O my lorde the King. And when Saul looked behinde him, Dauid inclined his face to the earth, and bowed himselfe.
9 I reèe David Saulu: zašto slušaš što ti kažu ljudi koji govore: eto David traži zlo tvoje?
And Dauid saide to Saul, Wherefore giuest thou an eare to mens words, that say, Behold, Dauid seeketh euill against thee?
10 Evo, danas vidješe oèi tvoje da te je Gospod bio predao danas u moje ruke u ovoj peæini, i rekoše mi da te ubijem: ali te poštedjeh, i rekoh: neæu dignuti ruke svoje na gospodara svojega, jer je pomazanik Gospodnji.
Behold, this day thine eyes haue seene, that the Lord had deliuered thee this day into mine hand in the caue, and some bade me kill thee, but I had compassion on thee, and said, I will not lay mine hande on my master: for he is the Lordes Anoynted.
11 Evo, oèe moj, evo vidi skut od plašta svojega u mojoj ruci; otsjekoh skut od plašta tvojega, a tebe ne ubih; poznaj i vidi da nema zla ni nepravde u ruci mojoj, i da ti nijesam zgriješio; a ti vrebaš dušu moju da je uzmeš.
Moreouer my father, behold: behold, I say, the lappe of thy garment in mine hand: for when I cut off the lappe of thy garment, I killed thee not. Vnderstad and see, that there is neither euil nor wickednesse in mee, neither haue I sinned against thee, yet thou huntest after my soule to take it.
12 Gospod neka sudi izmeðu mene i tebe, i neka me osveti od tebe; ali ruka se moja neæe podignuti na te.
The Lord be iudge betweene thee and me, and the Lord auenge me of thee, and let not mine hand be vpon thee.
13 Kako kaže stara prièa: od bezbožnijeh izlazi bezbožnost; zato se ruka moja neæe podignuti na te.
According as the olde prouerbe sayeth, Wickednesse proceedeth from the wicked, but mine hand be not vpon thee.
14 Za kim je izašao car Izrailjev? koga goniš? mrtva psa, buhu jednu.
After whom is the King of Israel come out? after whome doest thou pursue? after a dead dog, and after a flea?
15 Gospod neka bude sudija, i neka rasudi izmeðu mene i tebe; on neka vidi i raspravi moju parnicu i izbavi me iz ruke tvoje.
The Lord therfore be iudge, and iudge betweene thee and me, and see, and pleade my cause, and deliuer me out of thine hand.
16 A kad izgovori David ove rijeèi Saulu, reèe Saul: je li to tvoj glas, sine Davide? I podigavši Saul glas svoj zaplaka.
Whe Dauid had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, Saul sayd, Is this thy voyce, my sonne Dauid? and Saul lift vp his voice, and wept,
17 I reèe Davidu: praviji si od mene, jer si mi vratio dobro za zlo koje sam ja tebi uèinio.
And sayd to Dauid, Thou art more righteous then I: for thou hast rendred me good, and I haue rendred thee euill.
18 I danas si mi pokazao da mi dobro èiniš; jer me Gospod dade tebi u ruke, a ti me opet ne ubi.
And thou hast shewed this day, that thou hast dealt well with me: forasmuch as when the Lord had closed me in thine hands, thou killedst me not.
19 I ko bi našavši neprijatelja svojega pustio ga da ide dobrijem putem? Gospod neka ti vrati dobro za ovo što si mi uèinio danas.
For who shall finde his enemie, and let him depart free? wherefore the Lord render thee good for that thou hast done vnto me this day.
20 I sada, evo, znam da æeš zacijelo biti car, i jako æe biti u tvojoj ruci carstvo Izrailjevo.
For now behold, I know that thou shalt be King, and that the kingdome of Israel shall be stablished in thine hand.
21 Zato mi se sada zakuni Gospodom da neæeš istrijebiti sjemena mojega poslije mene, ni imena mojega zatrti u domu oca mojega.
Sweare now therfore vnto me by the Lord, that thou wilt not destroy my seede after me, and that thou wilt not abolish my name out of my fathers house.
22 I zakle se David Saulu; i Saul otide kuæi svojoj, a David i ljudi njegovi otidoše na tvrdo mjesto.
So Dauid sware vnto Saul, and Saul went home: but Dauid and his men went vp vnto ye hold.
