2 Књига Самуилова 1
1 А по смрти Сауловој, кад се Давид врати побивши Амалике и оста у Сиклагу два дана,
Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;
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.
It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes torn, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
3 И рече му Давид: Откуда идеш? А он му рече: Из логора израиљског утекох.
And David said to him, From where comest thou? And he said to him, Out of the camp of Israel have I escaped.
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.
And David said to him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.
5 А Давид рече момку који му донесе глас: Како знаш да је погинуо и син му Јонатан?
And David said to the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son 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.
And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
7 А он обазревши се натраг угледа ме, па ме викну, а ја му рекох: Ево ме.
And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. And I answered, Here am I.
8 А он ми рече: Ко си? А ја му рекох: Амалик сам.
And he said to me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
9 А он ми рече: Приступи к мени убиј ме; јер ме обузеше муке, а још је сасвим душа у мени.
He said to me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me.
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 stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he had fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.
11 Тада Давид зграби хаљине на себи и раздре их; тако и сви људи који беху с њим.
Then David took hold on his clothes, and tore them; and likewise all the men that were with him:
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.
And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they had fallen by the sword.
13 И рече Давид момку који му донесе глас: Одакле си? А он рече: Ја сам син једног дошљака Амалика.
And David said to the young man that told him, From where art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.
14 Рече му Давид: Како те није било страх подићи руку своју и убити помазаника Господњег?
And David said to him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thy hand to destroy the LORD’S anointed?
15 И дозва Давид једног између момака својих и рече: Ходи, погуби га. А он га удари, те умре.
And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
16 И рече му Давид: Крв твоја на твоју главу; јер твоја уста сведочише на те говорећи: Ја сам убио помазаника Господњег.
And David said to him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD’S anointed.
17 Тада Давид нарица овако за Саулом и за Јонатаном сином његовим,
And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
18 И изговори, да би се учили синови Јудини луку, и ето је написано у књизи Истинитог:
(Also he told them to teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)
19 Дико Израиљева! На твојим висинама побијени су; како падоше јунаци?
Thy glory, O Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
20 Не казујте у Гату, и не разглашујте по улицама аскалонским, да се не веселе кћери филистејске и да не играју кћери необрезаних.
Tell it not in Gath, proclaim it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
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.
Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.
22 Без крви побијених и без масти од јунака није се враћао лук Јонатанов, нити је мач Саулов долазио натраг празан.
From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.
23 Саул и Јонатан, мили и драги за живота, ни у смрти се не раставише; лакши од орлова беху.
Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, 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.
Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
25 Како падоше јунаци у боју! Јонатан како погибе на твојим висинама!
How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thy high places.
26 Жао ми је за тобом, брате Јонатане; био си ми мио врло; већа ми је била љубав твоја од љубави женске.
I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been to me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
27 Како падоше јунаци, и пропаде оружје убојито!
How have the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
