1 Samuel 13
1 Savel je kraljeval eno leto in ko je nad Izraelom kraljeval dve leti,
Saul was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned over Israel forty-two years.
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 himself three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the Mount of Bethel, and one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. He sent the rest of the people to their own tents.
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.«
Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. 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.
All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel was considered an abomination to the Philistines. 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.
The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel: thirty thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. 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 trouble (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in tombs, 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.
He stayed seven days, according to the time set by Samuel; but Samuel didn’t come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from him.
9 Savel je rekel: »Prinesite sèm k meni žgalno daritev in mirovne daritve.« In daroval je žgalno daritev.
Saul said, “Bring the burnt offering to me here, and the peace offerings.” 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.
It came to pass that as soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet 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,
Samuel said, “What have you done?” Saul said, “Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you didn’t 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 on me to Gilgal, and I haven’t entreated the favour of the LORD.’ 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.
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 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 your kingdom will 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 Samuel je vstal in se iz Gilgála povzpel v Benjaminovo Gíbeo. Savel je preštel ljudstvo, ki je bilo prisotno z njim, približno šeststo mož.
Samuel arose, and went from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. Saul counted 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.
Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed 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.
The raiders 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.
another company turned the way to Beth Horon; and another company turned the way of the border that looks down on the valley of Zeboim towards 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 themselves 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, each man to sharpen his own ploughshare, mattock, axe, and sickle.
21 Vendar so imeli pilo za motike, za črtala plugov, za vile, za sekire in da naostrijo palice z bodico.
The price was one payim each to sharpen mattocks, ploughshares, pitchforks, axes, and 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 neither sword nor spear was found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and Jonathan his son had them.
23 Garnizija Filistejcev je odšla ven k prehodu Mihmáša.
The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
