2 Књига Самуилова 1
1 А по смрти Сауловој, кад се Давид врати побивши Амалике и оста у Сиклагу два дана,
After Saul died, David [and the men who were with him] returned to Ziklag [town] after defeating the descendants of Amalek. They stayed in Ziklag for two days.
2 Трећег дана, гле, дође један из војске Саулове раздртих хаљина и главе посуте прахом; и дошав к Давиду паде на земљу и поклони се.
On the third day, unexpectedly a man arrived there who had come from where Saul’s army was camped. He had torn his clothes and put dust on his head [to show that he was grieving]. He came to David, and prostrated himself on the ground [in front of David to show respect for him].
3 И рече му Давид: Откуда идеш? А он му рече: Из логора израиљског утекох.
David asked him, “Where have you come from?” The man replied, “I escaped from where the Israeli army had been camped.”
4 А Давид му рече: Шта би? Кажи ми. А он рече: Народ побеже из боја; и много народа паде и изгибе, погибе и Саул и син му Јонатан.
David asked him, “What happened? Tell me [about the battle]!” The man replied, “The Israeli soldiers ran away from the battle. Many of them were killed. And Saul and his son Jonathan (are dead/were also killed).”
5 А Давид рече момку који му донесе глас: Како знаш да је погинуо и син му Јонатан?
David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
6 А момак који му донесе глас рече: Случајно дођох на гору Гелвују, а то се Саул наслонио на копље своје, кола и коњици приближаваху се к њему.
The young man replied, “It happened that I was on Gilboa Mountain [where the battle occurred], and I saw Saul, leaning on his spear. The [enemy] chariots and their drivers had come very close to Saul.
7 А он обазревши се натраг угледа ме, па ме викну, а ја му рекох: Ево ме.
Saul turned around and saw me, and he called out to me. I answered him and said, ‘What do you want me to do?’
8 А он ми рече: Ко си? А ја му рекох: Амалик сам.
He replied, ‘Who are you?’ I replied, ‘I am a descendant of Amalek.’
9 А он ми рече: Приступи к мени убиј ме; јер ме обузеше муке, а још је сасвим душа у мени.
Then he said to me, ‘Come over here and kill me. I am still alive, but I am enduring a lot of pain.’
10 И приступих к њему и убих га, јер сам знао да неће остати жив пошто паде; и узех венац царски који му беше на глави и гривну која му беше на руци, и ево донесох господару свом.
So I went to him and killed him, because I knew that he was wounded very badly and would (not continue to live/soon die). I took the crown that was on his head and the band/bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them to you.”
11 Тада Давид зграби хаљине на себи и раздре их; тако и сви људи који беху с њим.
Then David and all the men who were with him tore their clothes [to show that they were very sad].
12 И ридаше и плакаше, и постише до вечери за Саулом и за Јонатаном сином његовим и за народом Господњим и за домом Израиљевим што изгибоше од мача.
They mourned for Saul and his son Jonathan, and they cried and (fasted/abstained from eating food) until it was evening. They also mourned for all the army of Yahweh, and for all the Israeli people, because many of their soldiers had been killed in the battle [MTY].
13 И рече Давид момку који му донесе глас: Одакле си? А он рече: Ја сам син једног дошљака Амалика.
Then David asked the young man who had told him [about the battle], “Where are you from?” He replied, “My father is a descendant of Amalek, but we live in Israel.”
14 Рече му Давид: Како те није било страх подићи руку своју и убити помазаника Господњег?
David asked him, “(Why were you not afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king]?/You should have been afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king].) [RHQ]
15 И дозва Давид једног између момака својих и рече: Ходи, погуби га. А он га удари, те умре.
You yourself said, ‘I killed the man whom Yahweh appointed to be the king.’ So you have caused yourself to be guilty [MTY] of causing your own death!” Then David summoned one of his soldiers and said to him, “Kill him!” So the soldier killed him by striking him [with a sword].
16 И рече му Давид: Крв твоја на твоју главу; јер твоја уста сведочише на те говорећи: Ја сам убио помазаника Господњег.
17 Тада Давид нарица овако за Саулом и за Јонатаном сином његовим,
Then David composed/wrote this sad song about Saul and Jonathan,
18 И изговори, да би се учили синови Јудини луку, и ето је написано у књизи Истинитог:
and he commanded that it be taught to the people of Judah. [The song is called] ‘The Bow [and Arrow]’ and it has been written in the Book of Jashar:
19 Дико Израиљева! На твојим висинама побијени су; како падоше јунаци?
“You Israeli people, your glorious [MTY] leaders have been killed on the mountains! [It is very sad that] those mighty men have died!
20 Не казујте у Гату, и не разглашујте по улицама аскалонским, да се не веселе кћери филистејске и да не играју кћери необрезаних.
“Do not tell it [to our enemies in the Philistia area]; do not tell to the people who live in Gath [city] what happened; do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon [city], because if you tell them, [even] the women in that area will be happy; do not allow those (pagan women/women who do not know God) to rejoice.
21 Горе гелвујске! Не падала роса ни дажд на вас, и не родило поље за принос, јер је ту бачен штит са јунака, штит Саулов, као да није помазан уљем.
I hope/desire that there will be no rain or dew on the mountains of [the] Gilboa [area] [APO], and that no grain will grow in the fields there, because there the shield of Saul, the mighty [king], fell on the ground. No one rubbed [olive] oil on Saul’s shield;
22 Без крви побијених и без масти од јунака није се враћао лук Јонатанов, нити је мач Саулов долазио натраг празан.
instead, it was stained with the blood of those whom he had killed, and the fat of mighty enemy soldiers was smeared on it. Jonathan [PRS] did not retreat carrying his bow [and arrows], and Saul always [defeated his enemies when he fought them] with his sword. [PRS, LIT]
23 Саул и Јонатан, мили и драги за живота, ни у смрти се не раставише; лакши од орлова беху.
“Saul and Jonathan were loved and they pleased many people. They were together [LIT] while they lived and when they died. [In battles] they were swifter than eagles and they were stronger than lions.
24 Кћери Израиљеве! Плачите за Саулом, који вас је облачио у скерлет лепо, и китио вас златним закладима по хаљинама вашим.
“You Israeli women, cry about Saul; He provided beautiful scarlet/red clothes for you and he gave you gold ornaments/jewelry to fasten on those clothes.
25 Како падоше јунаци у боју! Јонатан како погибе на твојим висинама!
“[It is very sad that] this mighty soldier has died! Jonathan has been killed on the mountains/hills.
26 Жао ми је за тобом, брате Јонатане; био си ми мио врло; већа ми је била љубав твоја од љубави женске.
Jonathan, my dear friend, I grieve for you; you were very dear to me. You loved me in a wonderful manner; it was better than the way that a woman loves [her husband and her children].
27 Како падоше јунаци, и пропаде оружје убојито!
“It is very sad that those mighty men have died, and their weapons are now abandoned!
