1 Samuel 13
1 Savel je kraljeval eno leto in ko je nad Izraelom kraljeval dve leti,
Saul was … years old when he began to reign. And when he had reigned two years over Israel,
2 si je Savel izbral tri tisoč mož iz Izraela, od katerih jih je bilo dva tisoč s Savlom v Mihmášu in na gori Betel, tisoč pa jih je bilo z Jonatanom v Benjaminovi Gíbei, preostanek ljudstva pa je poslal vsakega moža k svojemu šotoru.
Saul chose for him three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash, and on the mount of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin, and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
3 Jonatan je udaril garnizijo Filistejcev, ki je bila v Gebi in Filistejci so slišali o tem. Savel pa je zatrobil na šofar po vsej deželi, rekoč: »Naj Hebrejci slišijo.«
And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
4 Ves Izrael je slišal govoriti, da je Savel udaril garnizijo Filistejcev in da je bil tudi Izrael v ogabnost Filistejcem. In ljudstvo je bilo sklicano skupaj za Savlom v Gilgál.
And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
5 Filistejci so se zbrali skupaj, da se bojujejo z Izraelom, trideset tisoč bojnih vozov, šest tisoč konjenikov in ljudstva v obilju, kakor je peska na morski obali. Prišli so gor in se utaborili v Mihmášu, vzhodno od Bet Avena.
And the Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel: thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea-shore in multitude. And they came up, and encamped in Michmash, eastward of Beth-aven.
6 Ko so možje iz Izraela videli, da so bili v škripcu (kajti ljudje so bili zelo stiskani), potem so se ljudje skrili v votlinah, v goščavah, v skalah, na visokih krajih in v jamah.
When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in coverts, and in pits.
7 Nekateri izmed Hebrejcev so odšli preko Jordana k deželi Gada in Gileáda. Glede Savla, on je bil še vedno v Gilgálu in vse ljudstvo mu je trepetajoč sledilo.
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 Zadrževal se je sedem dni, glede na določeni čas, ki ga je Samuel določil. Toda Samuel ni prišel v Gilgál, ljudstvo pa je bilo razkropljeno od njega.
And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed, but Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people were scattered from him.
9 Savel je rekel: »Prinesite sèm k meni žgalno daritev in mirovne daritve.« In daroval je žgalno daritev.
And Saul said, Bring here the burnt offering to me, and the peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.
10 Pripetilo se je, da takoj, ko je končal daritev žgalne daritve, glej, je prišel Samuel. Savel je odšel ven, da ga sreča, da bi ga lahko pozdravil.
And it came to pass that, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came, and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
11 Samuel je rekel: »Kaj si storil?« Savel je rekel: »Ker sem videl, da je bilo ljudstvo razkropljeno proč od mene in da ti nisi prišel v določenih dneh in da so se Filistejci zbrali skupaj pri Mihmášu,
And Samuel said, What have thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash,
12 sem zato rekel: ›Filistejci bodo sedaj prišli nadme dol v Gilgál, jaz pa nisem naredil ponižne prošnje h Gospodu.‹ Zato sem se prisilil in daroval žgalno daritev.«
therefore I said, Now the Philistines will come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favor of Jehovah. I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering.
13 Samuel je rekel Savlu: »Storil si nespametno. Nisi se držal zapovedi Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki ti jo je zapovedal, kajti sedaj bi Gospod na veke utrdil tvoje kraljestvo nad Izraelom.
And Samuel said to Saul, Thou have done foolishly. Thou have not kept the commandment of Jehovah thy God, which he commanded thee. For now Jehovah would have established thy kingdom upon Israel forever,
14 Toda sedaj tvoje kraljestvo ne bo trajalo. Gospod si je poiskal moža po svojem lastnem srcu in Gospod mu je zapovedal, da bi bil poveljnik nad njegovim ljudstvom, ker se ti nisi držal tega, kar ti je Gospod zapovedal.«
but now thy kingdom shall not continue. Jehovah has sought for him a man after his own heart, and Jehovah has appointed him to be prince over his people, because thou have not kept that which Jehovah commanded thee.
15 Samuel je vstal in se iz Gilgála povzpel v Benjaminovo Gíbeo. Savel je preštel ljudstvo, ki je bilo prisotno z njim, približno šeststo mož.
And Samuel arose, and got up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.
16 Savel, njegov sin Jonatan in ljudstvo, ki je bilo prisotno z njima, je ostalo v Benjaminovi Gíbei, toda Filistejci so taborili v Mihmášu.
And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Geba of Benjamin, but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
17 Iz tabora Filistejcev so prišli plenilci v treh skupinah. Ena skupina se je obrnila k poti, ki vodi v Ofro, v deželo Šuál.
And 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 Druga skupina se je obrnila k poti do Bet Horóna. [Še] druga skupina se je obrnila k poti meje, ki je obrnjena k dolini Cebojím, proti divjini.
and another company turned the way to Beth-horon, and another company turned the way of the border that looks down upon the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
19 Torej po vsej Izraelovi deželi ni bilo najti kovača, kajti Filistejci so rekli: »Da si ne bi Hebrejci naredili mečev ali sulic, «
Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make for them swords or spears,
20 temveč so vsi Izraelci hodili dol k Filistejcem, da si nabrusijo vsak mož svoj nož pri plugu, svoje črtalo pluga, svojo sekiro in svojo motiko.
but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock.
21 Vendar so imeli pilo za motike, za črtala plugov, za vile, za sekire in da naostrijo palice z bodico.
Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to set the goads.
22 Tako se je na dan bitke pripetilo, da ni bilo najti niti meča niti sulice v roki kateregakoli izmed ljudstva, ki so bili s Savlom in Jonatanom. Toda najti ju je bilo pri Savlu in njegovem sinu Jonatanu.
So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan. But with Saul and with Jonathan his son there was found.
23 Garnizija Filistejcev je odšla ven k prehodu Mihmáša.
And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
