1 Књига Самуилова 14

1 Један дан рече Јонатан, син Саулов, момку свом који му ношаше оружје: Хајде да идемо к стражи филистејској која је на оној страни. А оцу свом не каза ништа.

Now it happened on a day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the Philistines’ garrison that is on the other side.” But he didn’t tell his father.

2 А Саул стајаше крај брда под шипком, који беше у Мигрону; и народа беше с њим око шест стотина људи.

Saul stayed in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron; and the people who were with him were about six hundred men,

3 И Ахија син Ахитова брата Ихавода сина Финеса сина Илија свештеника Господњег у Силому ношаше оплећак. И народ не знаше да је отишао Јонатан.

including Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli the priest of the LORD in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people didn’t know that Jonathan was gone.

4 А у кланцу којим хтеде Јонатан отићи к стражи филистејској, беху две стрмене стене, једна с једне стране а друга с друге, и једна се зваше Восес а друга Сене.

Between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines’ garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side and a rocky crag on the other side; and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

5 И једна од њих стајаше са севера према Михмасу, а друга с југа према Гаваји.

The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.

6 И Јонатан рече момку који му ношаше оружје: Хајде да отидемо к стражи тих необрезаних; може бити да ће нам учинити шта Господ, јер Господу не смета избавити с множином или с малином.

Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that the LORD will work for us, for there is no restraint on the LORD to save by many or by few.”

7 А онај што му ношаше оружје одговори му: Чини шта ти је год у срцу, иди, ево ја ћу ићи с тобом куда год хоћеш.

His armor bearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart. Go, and behold, I am with you according to your heart.”

8 А Јонатан му рече: Ево, отићи ћемо к тим људима, и показаћемо им се.

Then Jonathan said, “Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will reveal ourselves to them.

9 Ако нам кажу: Чекајте докле дођемо к вама, тада ћемо се уставити на свом месту, и нећемо ићи к њима.

If they say this to us, ‘Wait until we come to you!’ then we will stand still in our place and will not go up to them.

10 Ако ли кажу: Ходите к нама, тада ћемо отићи; јер нам их Господ предаде у руке. То ће нам бити знак.

But if they say this, ‘Come up to us!’ then we will go up, for the LORD has delivered them into our hand. This shall be the sign to us.”

11 И показаше се обојица стражи филистејској; а Филистеји рекоше: Гле, излазе Јевреји из рупа у које су се сакрили.

Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, “Behold, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden themselves!”

12 И стражари рекоше Јонатану и момку који му ношаше оружје: Ходите к нама да вам кажемо нешто. И Јонатан рече оном што му ношаше оружје: Хајде за мном, јер их предаде Господ у руке Израиљу.

The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, “Come up to us, and we will show you something!” Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come up after me, for the LORD has delivered them into the hand of Israel.”

13 Тако пузаше Јонатан рукама и ногама, а за њим момак што му ношаше оружје; и падаху пред Јонатаном, и убијаше их за њим онај што му ношаше оружје.

Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him, and they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer killed them after him.

14 И то би први бој, у коме поби Јонатан и момак што му ношаше оружје око двадесет људи, отприлике на по рала земље.

That first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow’s length in an acre of land.

15 И уђе страх у логор у пољу и у сав народ; и стража и они који беху изашли да плене препадоше се, и земља се усколеба, јер беше страх од Бога.

There was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison and the raiders also trembled; and the earth quaked, so there was an exceedingly great trembling.

16 А стража Саулова у Гаваји Венијаминовој опази где се мноштво узбунило и успрепадало.

The watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude melted away and scattered.

17 Тада рече Саул народу који беше с њим: Прегледајте и видите ко је отишао од нас. И кад прегледаше, гле, не беше Јонатана и момка његовог који му ношаше оружје.

Then Saul said to the people who were with him, “Count now, and see who is missing from us.” When they had counted, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.

18 И рече Саул Ахији: Донеси ковчег Божји; јер ковчег Божји беше тада код синова Израиљевих.

Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring God’s ark here.” For God’s ark was with the children of Israel at that time.

19 А док говораше Саул свештенику, забуна у логору филистејском биваше све већа, и Саул рече свештенику: Остави.

While Saul talked to the priest, the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased; and Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand!”

20 И Саул и сав народ што беше с њим скупише се и дођоше до боја, и гле, повадили беху мачеве један на другог, и забуна беше врло велика.

Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle; and behold, they were all striking each other with their swords in very great confusion.

21 А беше с Филистејима Јевреја као пре, који иђаху с њима на војску свуда; па и они присташе уз Израиљце, који беху са Саулом и Јонатаном.

Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines before and who went up with them into the camp from all around, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

22 И сви Израиљци који се беху сакрили у гори Јефремовој кад чуше да беже Филистеји, наклопише се и они за њима бијући их.

Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.

23 И избави Господ Израиља у онај дан; и бој отиде дори до Вет-Авена.

So the LORD saved Israel that day; and the battle passed over by Beth Aven.

24 И Израиљци се врло уморише онај дан; а Саул закле народ говорећи: Да је проклет који једе шта до вечера, да се осветим непријатељима својим. И не окуси народ ништа.

The men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.

25 И сав народ оне земље дође у шуму, где беше много меда по земљи.

All the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground.

26 И кад дође народ у шуму, виде мед где тече; али нико не принесе руке к устима својим: јер се народ бојаше заклетве.

When the people had come to the forest, behold, honey was dripping, but no one put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.

27 Али Јонатан не чу кад отац његов закле народ, те пружи штап који му беше у руци, и замочи крај у саће, и примаче руку своју к устима својим, и засветлише му се очи.

But Jonathan didn’t hear when his father commanded the people with the oath. Therefore he put out the end of the rod that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes brightened.

28 А један из народа проговори и рече: Отац је твој заклео народ рекавши: Да је проклет ко би јео шта данас; стога суста народ.

Then one of the people answered, and said, “Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food today.’” So the people were faint.

29 Тада рече Јонатан: Смео је земљу отац мој; видите како ми се засветлише очи, чим окусих мало меда.

Then Jonathan said, “My father has troubled the land. Please look how my eyes have brightened because I tasted a little of this honey.

30 А да је још народ слободно јео данас од плена непријатеља својих, који нађе! Не би ли полом филистејски био још већи?

How much more, if perhaps the people had eaten freely today of the plunder of their enemies which they found? For now there has been no great slaughter among the Philistines.”

31 И тако побише онај дан Филистеје од Михмаса до Ајалона, и народ се врло умори.

They struck the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very faint;

32 И наклопи се народ на плен, и нахваташе оваца и волова и телаца, и поклаше их на земљи, и стаде народ јести с крвљу.

and the people pounced on the plunder, and took sheep, cattle, and calves, and killed them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood.

33 И јавише Саулу говорећи: Ево народ греши Господу једући с крвљу. А он рече: Неверу учинисте; доваљајте сада к мени велик камен.

Then they told Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against the LORD, in that they eat meat with the blood.” He said, “You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to me today!”

34 Затим рече Саул: Разиђите се међу народ и реците: Доведите сваки к мени вола свог и овцу своју; и овде закољите и једите, и нећете грешити Господу једући с крвљу. И донесе сав народ, сваки свог вола својом руком оне ноћи, и онде клаше.

Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them, ‘Every man bring me here his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat; and don’t sin against the LORD in eating meat with the blood.’” All the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there.

35 И начини Саул олтар Господу; то би први олтар који начини Господу.

Saul built an altar to the LORD. This was the first altar that he built to the LORD.

36 Потом рече Саул: Хајдемо за Филистејима ноћас, да их пленимо до јутра, и да их не оставимо ни једног. А они рекоше: Чини шта ти је год воља. Али свештеник рече: Да приступимо овде к Богу.

Saul said, “Let’s go down after the Philistines by night, and take plunder among them until the morning light. Let’s not leave a man of them.” They said, “Do whatever seems good to you.” Then the priest said, “Let’s draw near here to God.”

37 И упита Саул Бога: Хоћу ли ићи за Филистејима? Хоћеш ли их дати у руке Израиљу? Али не одговори му онај дан.

Saul asked counsel of God: “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?” But he didn’t answer him that day.

38 Зато рече Саул: Приступите овамо сви главари народни, и тражите и видите на коме је грех данас.

Saul said, “Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people, and know and see in whom this sin has been today.

39 Јер како је жив Господ који избавља Израиља, ако буде и на Јонатану сину мом, погинуће заиста. И не одговори му нико из свега народа.

For as the LORD lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.

40 Потом рече свему Израиљу: Ви будите с једне стране, а ја и Јонатан, син мој, бићемо с друге стране. А народ рече Саулу: Чини шта ти је драго.

Then he said to all Israel, “You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side.” The people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.”

41 Тада рече Саул Господу Богу Израиљевом: Покажи правога. И обличи се Јонатан и Саул, а народ изађе прав.

Therefore Saul said to the LORD, the God of Israel, “Show the right.” Jonathan and Saul were chosen, but the people escaped.

42 И рече Саул: Баците жреб за ме и за Јонатана, сина мог. И обличи се Јонатан.

Saul said, “Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son.” Jonathan was selected.

43 Тада рече Саул Јонатану: Кажи ми шта си учинио? И каза му Јонатан и рече: Само сам окусио мало меда накрај штапа који ми беше у руци; ево ме; хоћу ли погинути?

Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done!” Jonathan told him, and said, “I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and behold, I must die.”

44 А Саул рече: То нека ми учини Бог и то нека дода, погинућеш, Јонатане!

Saul said, “God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan.”

45 Али народ рече Саулу: Зар да погине Јонатан, који је учинио ово спасење велико у Израиљу? Боже сачувај! Тако жив био Господ, неће пасти на земљу ниједна длака с главе његове, јер је с помоћу Божјом учинио то данас. И тако избави народ Јонатана, те не погибе.

The people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it! As the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has worked with God today!” So the people rescued Jonathan, so he didn’t die.

46 Тада се врати Саул од Филистеја, а Филистеји отидоше у своје место.

Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.

47 И Саул царујући над Израиљем ратоваше на све непријатеље своје, на Моавце и на синове Амонове и на Едомце и на цареве совске и на Филистеје, и куда се год обраћаше, надвлађиваше.

Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side: against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. Wherever he turned himself, he defeated them.

48 Скупи такође војску и поби Амалика; и избави Израиља из руку оних који га плењаху.

He did valiantly and struck the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who plundered them.

49 А Саул имаше синове: Јонатана и Исуја и Мелхисуја; а двема кћерима његовим беху имена првеници Мерава, а млађој Михала.

Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.

50 А жени Сауловој беше име Ахиноама, кћи Ахимасова; а војводи његовом беше име Авенир син Нира стрица Сауловог.

The name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.

51 Јер Кис отац Саулов и Нир отац Авениров беху синови Авилови.

Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.

52 И беше велики рат с Филистејима свега века Сауловог; и кога год виђаше Саул храброг и јунака, узимаше га к себи.

There was severe war against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man or any valiant man, he took him into his service.
