< 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.
And it came about, on a certain day, that Jonathan son of Saul said unto the young man bearing his armour: Come! and let us pass over unto the garrison of the Philistines, that is on the other side, yonder! but, to his father, he told it not.
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.
Now, Saul, was tarrying in the uttermost part of Gibeah, under the pomegranate tree that is in Migron, —and, the people that were with him, were about six hundred men;
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.
and, Ahijah, son of Ahitub, brother of Ichabod, son of Phinehas, son of Eli, was priest of Yahweh in Shiloh, wearing an ephod, —and, the people, knew not that Jonathan had departed.
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.
And, between the passes by which Jonathan sought to cross over up to the garrison of the Philistines, there was a crag of rock on the one side, and a crag of rock on the other side; and, the name of the one, was Bozez, and the name of the other, Seneh.
5 Sprednji del ene je bil obrnjen proti severu, nasproti Mihmášu in druge proti jugu, nasproti Gíbei.
The one crag, was a pillar on the north, over against Michmash, —and, the other, on the south, over against Geba.
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.«
So Jonathan said unto the young man bearing his armour—Come! and let us cross over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised, peradventure, Yahweh may work by us, —for there is no restraint with Yahweh, to save 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.«
And his armour-bearer said to him, Do all that is in thy heart, —decide for thyself (lo! I am with thee!), according to thine own heart.
8 Potem je Jonatan rekel: »Glej, šla bova preko, k tem možem in se jim bova odkrila.
Then said Jonathan, Lo! we, are crossing over unto the men, —and will discover ourselves unto them.
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, thus, they say unto us, Keep quiet until we get to you, then will we stand still where we are, and will not go up unto 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 thus, they say, Come up unto us, then will we go up; for Yahweh hath delivered them into our hand, —This, then, is our sign.
11 Oba izmed njiju sta se odkrila garniziji Filistejcev. Filistejci so rekli: »Poglejte, Hebrejci prihajajo iz lukenj, kamor so se skrili.«
So they two discovered themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines, —and the Philistines said—Lo! Hebrews, coming forth out of the holes, wherein they had hidden themselves.
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.«
And the men of the garrison responded to Jonathan and his armour-bearer, and said—Come up unto us, and we will let you know a thing. Then said Jonathan unto his armour-bearer—Come up after me, for Yahweh hath delivered them into the hand of 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 went up on his hands and on his feet, and, his armour-bearer, followed him, —and they fell before Jonathan, and, his armour-bearer, was slaying after him.
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.
And the first smiting wherewith Jonathan and his armour-bearer smote, was about twenty men, —within, as it were, half a furrow’s length of a yoke of land.
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.
And there came to be a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people, the outposts and the spoilers, they too, trembled, —and the earth quaked, so it became a preternatural trembling.
16 Savlovi stražarji v Benjaminovi Gíbei so pogledali in glej, množica se je razblinila in nadaljevali so s podiranjem drug drugega.
And the scouts of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and lo! the camp, melted away, hither and thither.
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.
Then said Saul unto the people who were with him: Number, I pray you, and see who hath departed from us. So they numbered; and lo! Jonathan and his armour-bearer were missing.
18 Savel je rekel Ahíju: »Prinesi sèm Božjo skrinjo.« Kajti Božja skrinja je bila ob tistem času z Izraelovimi otroki.
Then said Saul unto Ahijah, Bring near the ark of God; for the ark of God was, on that day, in the midst of the sons of Israel.
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.«
And it came to pass, as soon as Saul had spoken unto the priest, that, the tumultuous noise that was in the camp of the Philistines, went on and on, increasing. Then said Saul unto the priest, —Withdraw thy hand.
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.
And Saul and all the people that were with him gathered themselves together, and came as far as the host, —and lo! the sword of every man was against his fellow, an exceeding great confusion.
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.
And, the Hebrews who had aforetime belonged to the Philistines, who had come up with them in the host, even they, turned round so as to be with Israel 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.
And, all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves throughout the hill country of Ephraim, heard that the Philistines had fled, and, they also, followed hard after them in the battle.
23 Tako je Gospod tisti dan rešil Izraela. Bitka je prešla preko k Bet Avenu.
Thus did Yahweh, on that day, save Israel, —and, the battle, passed over by 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.
Now, the men of Israel, were tired out on that day, —yet had Saul bound the people by an oath, saying—Cursed, be the man that eateth food until the evening, and I be avenged upon mine enemies. So none of the people had tasted food.
25 Vsi tisti iz dežele so prišli do gozda in tam je bil na tleh med.
And, all the land, had entered into the forest, —and there was honey upon the face of 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.
So the people came into the forest, and lo! there were streams of honey, —but no man reached his hand to his mouth, because the people revered the oath.
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, heard not his father putting the people on oath, so he reached forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honey-copse, —and brought back his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were brightened.
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.
Then responded one from among the people, and said—With an oath, did thy father charge the people, saying—Cursed, be the man that eateth food to-day! And so the people were faint.
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.
Then said Jonathan: My father hath afflicted the land, —See, I pray you, how my own eyes have been brightened, because I tasted 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?«
How much more if haply the people had, eaten freely, to-day of the spoil of their enemies, which they found? for, now, would not the smiting of the Philistines have been, mighty?
31 Ta dan so udarili Filistejce od Mihmáša do Ajalóna, ljudstvo pa je bilo zelo slabotno.
Howbeit they smote the Philistines on that day from Michmash to Aijalon, —but the people became exceeding faint.
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.
And the people darted greedily upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and felled them to the ground, —and the people did eat, 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.«
And they told Saul, saying, Lo! the people, are sinning against Yahweh, by eating with the blood. And he said—Ye have dealt treacherously, roll unto me, here, a great stone.
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.
And Saul said—Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them—Bring near unto me every man his ox, and every man his lamb, and slay them here, and then eat, so shall ye not sin against Yahweh, by eating with the blood. And all the people brought near—every man that which was in his hand, that night, and they slew them there.
35 Savel je zgradil oltar Gospodu. Ta isti je bil prvi oltar, ki ga je zgradil Gospodu.
And Saul built an altar unto Yahweh, —the same, was the first altar that he built unto Yahweh.
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.«
Then said Saul—Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and make of them a prey until the morning light, and let us not leave of them, a man. And they said, All that is good in thine eyes, do! Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.
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.
So Saul asked of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not, that day.
38 Savel je rekel: »Približajte se sèm, vsi vodje ljudstva in vedite in poglejte, v čem je bil ta greh ta dan.
Then said Saul, Come near hither, all ye chiefs of the people, —and get to know and see, wherein, hath been this sin, to-day.
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.
For, by the life of Yahweh, who saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, yet shall he, die. But there was none ready to answer him, of all the people.
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.«
Then said he unto all Israel—Ye, shall be on one side, and, I and Jonathan my son, will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, What is good in thine eyes, do!
41 Zato je Savel rekel Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu: »Daj popoln žreb.« Zajeta sta bila Savel in Jonatan, toda ljudstvo je bilo izločeno.
And Saul said unto Yahweh—O God of Israel! now set forth the truth. Then were, Jonathan and Saul, taken, and, the people, escaped.
42 Savel je rekel: »Vrzite žrebe med menoj in mojim sinom Jonatanom.« In izbran je bil Jonatan.
And Saul said, Cast lots between me, and Jonathan my son. Then was, Jonathan, taken.
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.«
And Saul said unto Jonathan, Come tell me, what thou hast done. So Jonathan told him, and said, I, just tasted, with the end of the staff that was in my hand, a little honey, here I am—I must die!
44 Savel je odgovoril: »Bog stori tako in še več, kajti zagotovo boš umrl, Jonatan.«
Then said Saul: So, may God do, and, so, may he add, surely thou must, 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 said unto Saul—Shall, Jonathan, die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? Far be it! By the life of Yahweh, there shall not fall a hair of his head to the ground, for, with God, hath he wrought this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he died not.
46 Potem je Savel odšel gor od sledenja Filistejcem in Filistejci so odšli k svojemu lastnemu kraju.
Then Saul went up from following the Philistines, —and, the Philistines, departed unto their own place.
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.
And, Saul, took possession of the kingdom over Israel, —and made war round about against all his enemies—against Moab, and against the sons of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines, and, whomsoever he turned against, he was victorious.
48 Zbral je vojsko, udaril Amalečane in Izraela osvobodil iz rok tistih, ki so jih plenili.
Then made he ready a force, and smote the Amalekites, —and delivered Israel out of the hand of such as 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.
And the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua, —and, the names of his two daughters, were, the name of the firstborn, Merab, and, the name of the younger, Michal, —
50 Ime Savlove žene je bilo Ahinóam, Ahimáacova hči. Ime poveljnika njegove vojske je bilo Abnêr, sin Savlovega strica Nera.
and, the name of Saul’s wife, was Ahinoam, daughter of Ahimaaz, —and the name of the prince of his host, Abner, son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.
51 Kiš je bil Savlov oče in Abnêrjev oče Ner je bil Abiélov sin.
And, Kish, was Saul’s father, and, Ner, Abner’s father, was son 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.
And the war was severe against the Philistines all the days of Saul, —and, whensoever Saul saw any mighty man, or any son of valour, he drew him unto himself.
