1 Књига Самуилова 13
1 Кад Саул би цар годину дана (а царова две године над Израиљем),
Saul was ruling for less than a year, when he ruled during year two over Israel,
2 Изабра себи Саул три хиљаде између синова Израиљевих; и беху код Саула две хиљаде у Михмасу и у гори ветиљској, а једна хиљада с Јонатаном у Гаваји Венијаминовој; а остали народ распусти у шаторе њихове.
that Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the hill country of Bethel, and one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. And the rest of the people he sent away, each to his own home.
3 И Јонатан поби стражу филистејску која беше у Гаваји, и чуше за то Филистеји. А Саул заповеди, те трубише у трубе по свој земљи говорећи: Нека чују Јевреји.
Now Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was at Gibeah, and the Philistines heard of it. Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, "Let the Hebrews hear."
4 И тако чу сав Израиљ где рекоше: Поби Саул стражу филистејску; и стога Израиљ омрзну Филистејима. И сазван би народ за Саулом у Галгал.
All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel had become repulsive to the Philistines. So the people were called out to join Saul at Gilgal.
5 А Филистеји се скупише да војују на Израиља, тридесет хиљада кола и шест хиљада коњика, и мноштво народа као песак на брегу морском; и изашавши стадоше у логор у Михмасу, с истока од Вен-Авена.
The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel, and brought up against Israel three thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude: and they came up, and camped in Michmash, eastward of Beth Aven.
6 И Израиљци се видеше у невољи, јер народ би притешњен; те се сакри у пећине и у честе и у камењаке и у раселине и у јаме.
When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were in a difficult situation), then the people hid themselves in caves and thickets, among the rocks, and in pits and cisterns.
7 А други Јевреји пређоше преко Јордана у земљу Гадову и Галадову. А Саул још беше у Галгалу, и сав народ што иђаше за њим беше у страху.
Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
8 И почека седам дана до рока Самуиловог. Али Самуило не дође у Галгал; те се народ стаде разлазити од њега.
And he stayed seven days, according to the time that Samuel had said. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people began to abandon him.
9 Тада рече Саул: Додајте ми жртву паљеницу и жртве захвалне. И принесе жртву паљеницу.
Saul said, "Bring here the burnt offering to me, and the peace offerings." He offered the burnt offering.
10 И кад принесе жртву паљеницу, гле, дође Самуило. И Саул изађе му на сусрет да га поздрави.
It came to pass that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, look, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.
11 А Самуило му рече: Шта си учинио? А Саул одговори: Кад видех где се народ разлази од мене, а ти не дође до рока, и Филистеји се скупили у Михмасу,
Samuel said, "What have you done?" Saul said, "Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash;
12 Рекох: Сад ће ударити Филистеји на ме у Галгал, а ја се још не помолих Господу: те се усудих и принесох жртву паљеницу.
therefore I said, 'Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I haven't entreated the favor of the LORD.' I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering."
13 Тада рече Самуило Саулу: Лудо си радио што ниси држао заповести Господа Бога свог, коју ти је заповедао; јер би сада Господ утврдио царство твоје над Израиљем довека.
Samuel said to Saul, "You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which he commanded you; for now the LORD would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.
14 А сада царство твоје неће се одржати. Господ је нашао себи човека по срцу свом, и њему је заповедио Господ да буде вођ народу Његовом, јер ниси држао шта ти је заповедио Господ.
But now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and the LORD has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which the LORD commanded you."
15 Потом диже се Самуило и отиде из Галгала у Гавају Венијаминову. И Саул изброја народ који оста код њега, и беше га до шест стотина људи.
And Samuel arose and departed from Gilgal, and the rest of the people went up after Saul to meet him after the men of war, when they had come up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.
16 И Саул и син му Јонатан и народ што беше с њима, стајаху у Гаваји Венијаминовој; а Филистеји стајаху у логору у Михмасу.
Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin: but the Philistines camped in Michmash.
17 И изиђоше три чете из логора филистејског да плене: Једна чета удари путем к Офри у земљу совалску;
The spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to the land of Shual;
18 А друга чета удари путем к Вет-Орону; а трећа удари путем к међи која гледа према долини севојимској у пустињу.
and another company turned the way to Beth Horon; and another company turned toward the border that overlooks the valley of Zeboim.
19 А у целој земљи израиљској не беше ковача, јер Филистеји рекоше: Да не би градили Јевреји мачева ни копаља.
Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines had said, "Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears."
20 Зато силажаху сви Израиљци к Филистејима кад који хтеде поклепати раоник или мотику или секиру или срп.
But all Israel would go down to the Philistines, each to sharpen his plowshare, mattock, axe, and sickle;
21 И беху се затупили раоници и мотике и виле тророге и секире, и саме остане требаше заоштрити.
and the charge was one payim for the plowshares and for the mattocks, and three shekels for picks and axes and to set the goads.
22 Зато кад дође време боју, не нађе се мача ни копља ни у кога у народу који беше са Саулом и Јонатаном; само беше у Саула и у Јонатана сина његовог.
So on the day of the battle of Michmash there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and his son Jonathan had them.
23 И стража филистејска изађе у кланац код Михмаса.
The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
