1 Samuel 14

1 Pripetilo se je torej na dan, ko je Savlov sin Jonatan rekel mladeniču, ki je nosil njegovo bojno opremo: »Pridi in pojdiva preko, k filistejski garniziji, ki je na drugi strani.« Toda ni povedal svojemu očetu.

One day Jonathan, son of Saul, said to the young armor-bearer, “Come on, let's cross over to the Philistine garrison on the other side.” But he didn't let his father know his plans.

2 Savel je sedel na najbolj oddaljenem delu Gíbee, pod granatovcem, ki je v Migrónu in ljudstva, ki je bilo z njim, je bilo približno šeststo mož.

Saul was staying near Gibeah under a pomegranate tree in Migron. He had about six hundred men with him,

3 Ahíja, sin Ahitúba, Ikabódov brat, sinú Pinhása, sinú Élija, Gospodovega duhovnika v Šilu, je nosil efód. Ljudstvo pa ni vedelo, da je Jonatan odšel.

including Ahijah, who was wearing an ephod. He was a son of Ichabod's brother Ahitub, son of Phinehas, son of Eli, priest of the Lord in Shiloh. No one realized Jonathan had left.

4 Med prehodi, ob katerih je Jonatan iskal, da bi šel preko k filistejski garniziji, je bila ostra skala na eni strani in ostra skala na drugi strani. Ime ene je bilo Bocéc, ime druge pa Sene.

Cliffs stood on both sides of the pass that Jonathan planned to cross to reach the Philistine garrison, one called Bozez and the other Seneh.

5 Sprednji del ene je bil obrnjen proti severu, nasproti Mihmášu in druge proti jugu, nasproti Gíbei.

The cliff to the north was on the Michmash side, the one to the south on the Geba side.

6 Jonatan je rekel mladeniču, ki je nosil njegovo bojno opremo: »Pridi in pojdiva preko, h garniziji teh neobrezancev. Morda bo Gospod delal za naju, kajti ni omejitve Gospodu, da reši po mnogih ali po peščici.«

Jonathan said to the young armor-bearer, “Come on, let's cross over to the garrison of these heathen men. Maybe the Lord will help us out. It's not a problem for the Lord to win, whether by many or by few.”

7 Njegov nosilec bojne opreme mu je rekel: »Stori vse, kar je v tvojem srcu. Obrni se, glej, jaz sem s teboj glede na tvoje srce.«

“You choose what you want to do,” the armor-bearer replied. “I'm with you whatever you decide!”

8 Potem je Jonatan rekel: »Glej, šla bova preko, k tem možem in se jim bova odkrila.

“Let's go then!” Jonathan said. “We'll cross over in their direction so they can see us.

9 Če nama rečejo: ›Ostanita, dokler ne pridemo do vaju, ‹ potem bova mirno stala na svojem kraju in ne bova šla gor k njim.

If they tell us, ‘Wait there until we come down to you,’ we will wait where we are and we won't go up to them.

10 Toda če rečejo tako: ›Pridita gor k nam, ‹ potem bova šla gor, kajti Gospod jih je izročil v najino roko in to nama bo za znamenje.«

But if they say, ‘Come on up to us,’ we'll climb up, for that will be the sign that the Lord has handed them over to us.”

11 Oba izmed njiju sta se odkrila garniziji Filistejcev. Filistejci so rekli: »Poglejte, Hebrejci prihajajo iz lukenj, kamor so se skrili.«

So both of them let themselves be seen by Philistine garrison. “Hey, look!” shouted the Philistines. “The Hebrews are coming out of the holes they were hiding in.”

12 Možje iz garnizije so Jonatanu in njegovemu nosilcu bojne opreme odgovorili ter rekli: »Pridita gor k nam in pokazali vama bomo stvar.« Jonatan je rekel svojemu nosilcu bojne opreme: »Pridi gor za menoj, kajti Gospod jih je izročil v Izraelovo roko.«

The men from the garrison called down to Jonathan and his armor-bearer, “Come up here, and we'll teach you a thing or two!” “Follow me up,” Jonathan told his armor-bearer, “for the Lord has handed them over to Israel.”

13 Jonatan je plezal gor po svojih rokah in po svojih stopalih in njegov nosilec bojne opreme za njim in padali so pred Jonatanom. Njegov nosilec bojne opreme pa jih je pobijal za njim.

So Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, with his armor-bearer right behind him. Jonathan attacked and killed them, and his armor-bearer followed doing the same.

14 Ta prvi pokol, ki sta ga naredila Jonatan in njegov nosilec bojne opreme, je zajel okrog dvajset mož, kakor bi bilo znotraj pol orala dežele, ki bi jo lahko preoral jarem volov.

In this first attack, Jonathan and his armor-bearer killed about twenty men over an area of half an acre.

15 V vojski na polju in med vsem ljudstvom je bilo trepetanje. Garnizija in plenilci, tudi oni so trepetali in zemlja se je tresla. Tako je bilo zelo veliko trepetanje.

Then Philistines went into a panic, in the camp, in the field, and throughout their army. Even those in the outposts and the groups of raiders became terrified. The earth shook—this was a panic from God.

16 Savlovi stražarji v Benjaminovi Gíbei so pogledali in glej, množica se je razblinila in nadaljevali so s podiranjem drug drugega.

Saul's lookouts at Gibeah in Benjamin saw the Philistine army melting away, scattering in all directions.

17 Potem je Savel rekel ljudstvu, ki je bilo z njim: »Preštejte torej in poglejte, kdo je odšel od nas.« Ko so prešteli, glej, Jonatan in njegov nosilec bojne opreme nista bila tam.

Saul told the soldiers with him, “Do a roll-call and find out who isn't here with us.” When they did the roll-call, they discovered that Jonathan and his armor-bearer weren't there.

18 Savel je rekel Ahíju: »Prinesi sèm Božjo skrinjo.« Kajti Božja skrinja je bila ob tistem času z Izraelovimi otroki.

Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the Ark of God here.” (At the time the Ark of God traveled with the Israelites.)

19 Pripetilo se je, medtem ko je Savel govoril z duhovnikom, da se je hrup, ki je bil v vojski Filistejcev, nadaljeval in naraščal in Savel je rekel duhovniku: »Umakni svojo roko.«

But as Saul was speaking to the priest, the commotion coming from the Philistine camp grew louder and louder. So Saul told the priest, “Forget it!”

20 Savel ter vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, so se zbrali skupaj in prišli k bitki. Glej, meč vsakega moža je bil proti njegovemu tovarišu in tam je bila zelo velika zmeda.

Then Saul and all his army assembled and went into battle. They discovered the Philistines were in total disarray, attacking each other with swords.

21 Pa tudi Hebrejci, ki so bili pred tem časom s Filistejci, ki so iz okoliške dežele odšli z njimi gor v tabor, celo ti so se prav tako obrnili, da bi bili z Izraelci, ki so bili s Savlom in Jonatanom.

The Hebrews who had previously sided with the Philistines, and who were with them in their camp, switched sides and joined the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

22 Podobno so tudi vsi Izraelovi možje, ki so se skrili na gori Efrájim, ko so slišali, da so Filistejci zbežali, celo oni so sledili tik za njimi v bitko.

When all the Israelites who had been hiding in the hill country of Ephraim heard that the Philistines were running away, they also joined in chasing after the Philistines to attack them.

23 Tako je Gospod tisti dan rešil Izraela. Bitka je prešla preko k Bet Avenu.

On that day the Lord saved Israel, and the battle extended past Beth-aven.

24 Izraelovi možje so bili ta dan užaloščeni, kajti Savel je ljudstvo zaprisegel, rekoč: »Preklet naj bo mož, ki poje kakršnokoli hrano do večera, da bom lahko maščevan na svojih sovražnikih.« Tako nihče izmed ljudstva ni pokusil nobene hrane.

It was difficult for the men of Israel that day because Saul had ordered the army to take an oath, saying, “Cursed is anyone who eats anything before evening, before I have avenged myself on my enemies.” So no one in the army had eaten anything.

25 Vsi tisti iz dežele so prišli do gozda in tam je bil na tleh med.

When they all entered the forest they found honeycomb on the ground.

26 Ko je ljudstvo prišlo v gozd, glej, je kapljal med, toda noben mož ni iztegnil svoje roke k svojim ustom, kajti ljudstvo se je balo prisege.

While they were in the forest they saw the honey running out, but no one picked it up to eat it because they were all afraid of the oath they had taken.

27 Toda Jonatan ni slišal, ko je njegov oče ljudstvo obremenil s prisego. Zato je iztegnil konec palice, ki je bila v njegovi roki in jo omočil v satovju in svojo roko nesel k ustom in njegove oči so bile razsvetljene.

But Jonathan hadn't heard that his father had ordered the army to take this oath. So he stuck the end of his stick into the honeycomb, picked up a piece to eat, and he felt much better.

28 Potem je odgovoril eden izmed ljudstva in rekel: »Tvoj oče je s prisego strogo obremenil ljudstvo, rekoč: ›Preklet bodi človek, ki danes poje kakršnokoli hrano.‹« In ljudstvo je bilo slabotno.

But one of the soldiers told him, “Your father made the army take a solemn oath, saying, ‘Cursed is anyone who eats anything today!’ That is why the men are exhausted.”

29 Potem je Jonatan rekel: »Moj oče je vznemiril deželo. Poglej, prosim te, kako so bile moje oči razsvetljene, ker sem okusil malo od tega medu.

“My father has caused a whole lot of trouble for everyone,” Jonathan replied. “See how well I am because I've eaten a little of this honey.

30 Kako mnogo bolj, če bi morda ljudstvo danes prosto jedlo od plena svojih sovražnikov, ki so ga našli? Kajti ali ne bi bil sedaj veliko večji pokol med Filistejci?«

It would have been so much better if only the army had eaten plenty today from the plunder taken from their enemies! How many more Philistines would have been killed?”

31 Ta dan so udarili Filistejce od Mihmáša do Ajalóna, ljudstvo pa je bilo zelo slabotno.

After defeating the Philistines that day, killing them from Michmash to Aijalon, the Israelites were totally exhausted.

32 In ljudstvo se je vrglo na plen in vzelo ovce, vole in teleta in zaklali so jih na tleh. Ljudstvo jih je jedlo s krvjo.

They grabbed the plunder, taking sheep, cattle, and calves, and slaughtered them right there on the ground. But they ate them with the blood.

33 Potem so povedali Savlu, rekoč: »Glej, ljudstvo greši zoper Gospoda v tem, da jedo s krvjo.« Rekel je: »Pregrešili ste se. Zavalite k meni ta dan velik kamen.«

Saul was told, “Look, the men are sinning against the Lord by eating meat with the blood.” “Law-breakers!” said Saul. “Roll a large stone over here right now!”

34 Savel je rekel: »Razpršite se med ljudstvo in jim recite: ›Privedite mi sèm vsak človek svojega vola in vsak človek svojo ovco in zakoljite jih tukaj in jejte in ne grešite zoper Gospoda, v tem, da bi jedli s krvjo.‹« Vse ljudstvo je to noč privedlo, vsak človek svojega vola s seboj in so jih tam zaklali.

Then he said, “Go around the soldiers and tell them, ‘Every man must bring me his cattle or his sheep and slaughter them here, and then eat. Don't sin against the Lord by eating meat with the blood.’” Everyone in the army brought what he had and slaughtered it there that night.

35 Savel je zgradil oltar Gospodu. Ta isti je bil prvi oltar, ki ga je zgradil Gospodu.

So Saul built an altar to the Lord. This was the first altar he had built to the Lord.

36 Savel je rekel: »Pojdimo ponoči dol za Filistejci in jih plenimo do jutranje svetlobe in ne pustimo nobenega moža od njih.« Rekli so: »Stôri, karkoli se ti zdi dobro.« Potem je rekel duhovniku: »Približajmo se sèm k Bogu.«

Saul said, “Let's go and chase down the Philistines during night and plunder them till dawn, leaving no survivors.” “Do what you think best,” they replied. But the priest said, “Let's ask God first.”

37 Savel je vprašal za nasvet od Boga: »Ali naj grem dol za Filistejci? Ali jih boš izročil v Izraelovo roko?« Toda tisti dan mu ni odgovoril.

Saul asked God, “Shall I go down and chase down the Philistines? Will you hand them over to Israel?” But that day God didn't answer him.

38 Savel je rekel: »Približajte se sèm, vsi vodje ljudstva in vedite in poglejte, v čem je bil ta greh ta dan.

So Saul gave the order, “All you army commanders, come here so we can investigate what sin has happened today.

39 Kajti kakor živi Gospod, ki rešuje Izrael, čeprav bi bil ta na mojem sinu Jonatanu, bo on zagotovo umrl.« Toda tam ni bilo moža izmed ljudstva, da bi mu odgovoril.

I swear on the life of the Lord who saves Israel, that even if it's my son Jonathan, he will have to die!” But no one of the whole army said anything.

40 Potem je vsemu Izraelu rekel: »Vi bodite na eni strani, jaz in moj sin Jonatan pa bova na drugi strani.« Ljudstvo je Savlu reklo: »Stori, kar se ti zdi dobro.«

Saul told them all, “You stand over to one side, and I and my son Jonathan will stand on the opposite side.” “Do what you think best,” the army replied.

41 Zato je Savel rekel Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu: »Daj popoln žreb.« Zajeta sta bila Savel in Jonatan, toda ljudstvo je bilo izločeno.

Saul prayed to the Lord, the God of Israel, “Let the Thummin show.” Jonathan and Saul were identified, while everyone else was cleared.

42 Savel je rekel: »Vrzite žrebe med menoj in mojim sinom Jonatanom.« In izbran je bil Jonatan.

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

43 Potem je Savel rekel Jonatanu: »Povej mi kaj si storil.« Jonatan mu je povedal in rekel: »Samo pokusil sem malo medu s koncem palice, ki je bila v moji roki in glej, moram umreti.«

“Tell me what you have done,” Saul asked Jonathan. “I just tasted a little honey with the end of my stick,” Jonathan told him. “Here I am, and I have to die.”

44 Savel je odgovoril: »Bog stori tako in še več, kajti zagotovo boš umrl, Jonatan.«

Saul said, “May God punish me very severely if you do not die, Jonathan!”

45 Ljudstvo pa je reklo Savlu: »Ali naj Jonatan umre, ki je izvršil to veliko rešitev duš v Izraelu? Bog ne daj. Kakor Gospod živi, ne bo niti en las iz njegove glave padel na tla, kajti ta dan je delal z Bogom.« Tako je ljudstvo rešilo Jonatana, da ni umrl.

But the people told Saul, “Does Jonathan have to die, the one who achieved this great victory in Israel? Absolutely not! We swear on the life of the Lord, not a single hair of his head will fall to the ground, for it was with God's help that he achieved this today.” The people saved Jonathan, and he didn't die.

46 Potem je Savel odšel gor od sledenja Filistejcem in Filistejci so odšli k svojemu lastnemu kraju.

Saul stopped chasing down the Philistines, and the Philistines went to their own country.

47 Tako je Savel vzel kraljestvo nad Izraelom in se boril zoper vse svoje sovražnike na vsaki strani, zoper Moáb, zoper Amónove otroke, zoper Edóm, zoper kralje Cobe in zoper Filistejce in h komurkoli se je obrnil, jim je povzročal skrbi.

After Saul had made his hold over Israel secure, he fought against all his enemies all around: Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. Whatever direction he went he defeated them all.

48 Zbral je vojsko, udaril Amalečane in Izraela osvobodil iz rok tistih, ki so jih plenili.

He fought bravely, conquering the Amalekites, saving Israel from those who plundered them.

49 Torej Savlovi sinovi so bili Jonatan, Jišví in Malkišúa. Imena njegovih dveh hčera sta bili: ime prvorojene Merába in ime mlajše Mihála.

Saul's sons were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchishua. The names of his two daughters were Merab, (the firstborn), and Michal, (the younger one).

50 Ime Savlove žene je bilo Ahinóam, Ahimáacova hči. Ime poveljnika njegove vojske je bilo Abnêr, sin Savlovega strica Nera.

The name of his wife was Ahinoam, daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of Saul's army commander was Abner, son of Ner, and Ner was Saul's uncle.

51 Kiš je bil Savlov oče in Abnêrjev oče Ner je bil Abiélov sin.

Saul's father Kish and Abner's father Ner were sons of Abiel.

52 In tam je bila silna vojna zoper Filistejce vse Savlove dni in ko je Savel zagledal kateregakoli močnega moža ali kateregakoli hrabrega moža, ga je vzel k sebi.

Throughout Saul's lifetime there was constant war with the Philistines. Saul recruited into his army every strong warrior and every brave fighter that he met.
