1 Samuel 17
1 Torej Filistejci so zbrali skupaj svoje vojske za boj in zbrani so bili skupaj pri Sohóju, ki pripada Judu in se utaborili med Sohójem in Azéko, v Efes Damímu.
Now the Philistines gathered their forces for war at Socoh in Judah, and they camped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim.
2 Savel in Izraelovi možje so bili zbrani skupaj in se utaborili poleg doline Elá in se postrojili v boj zoper Filistejce.
Saul and the men of Israel assembled and camped in the Valley of Elah, arraying themselves for battle against the Philistines.
3 Filistejci so stali na gori na eni strani, Izrael pa je stal na gori na drugi strani in med njimi je bila dolina.
The Philistines stood on one hill and the Israelites stood on another, with the valley between them.
4 Iz tabora Filistejcev je prišel šampion iz Gata, po imenu Goljat, katerega višina je bila šest komolcev in pedenj.
Then a champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out from the Philistine camp. He was six cubits and a span in height,
5 Na svoji glavi je imel čelado iz brona in oborožen je bil z verižnim plaščem. Teža plašča je bila pet tisoč šeklov brona
and he had a bronze helmet on his head. He wore a bronze coat of mail weighing five thousand shekels,
6 Na svojih nogah je imel bronaste golenice in okrogel ščit iz brona med svojimi rameni.
and he had armor of bronze on his legs and a javelin of bronze slung between his shoulders.
7 Palica njegove sulice je bila podobna tkalčevemu brunu in vrh njegove sulice je tehtal šeststo šeklov železa in nekdo, ki je nosil ščit, je šel pred njim.
The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels. In addition, his shield bearer went before him.
8 Stal je in klical Izraelovim vojskam ter jim rekel: »Zakaj ste prišli ven, da se postrojite za boj? Mar nisem jaz Filistejec, vi pa Savlovi služabniki? Izberite zase moža in naj pride dol k meni.
And Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why do you come out and array yourselves for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose one of your men and have him come down against me.
9 Če se je zmožen bojevati z menoj in me ubiti, potem bomo mi vaši služabniki, toda če prevladam zoper njega in ga ubijem, potem boste vi naši služabniki in nam služili.«
If he is able to fight me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and labor for us.”
10 Filistejec je rekel: »Danes izzivam Izraelove vojske. Dajte mi človeka, da se lahko skupaj bojujeva.«
Then the Philistine said, “I defy the ranks of Israel this day! Give me a man to fight!”
11 Ko so Savel in ves Izrael slišali te Filistejčeve besede, so bili zaprepadeni in silno prestrašeni.
On hearing the words of the Philistine, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and greatly afraid.
12 Torej David je bil sin tega Efratejca iz Judovega Betlehema, katerega ime je bilo Jese. Ta je imel osem sinov. V Savlovih dneh je mož odšel med može za starca.
Now David was the son of a man named Jesse, an Ephrathite from Bethlehem of Judah who had eight sons in the days of Saul. And Jesse was old and well along in years.
13 Trije najstarejši Jesejevi sinovi so odšli in Savlu sledili v bitko. Imena njegovih treh sinov, ki so šli v bitko, so bila Eliáb, prvorojenec in poleg njega Abinadáb in tretji Šamá.
The three older sons of Jesse had followed Saul into battle: The firstborn was Eliab, the second was Abinadab, and the third was Shammah.
14 David je bil najmlajši in trije starejši so sledili Savlu.
And David was the youngest. The three oldest had followed Saul,
15 Toda David je šel in se vrnil od Savla, da pri Betlehemu pase ovce svojega očeta.
but David went back and forth from Saul to tend his father’s sheep in Bethlehem.
16 Filistejec se je približal zjutraj in zvečer in se nastavljal štirideset dni.
For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and evening to take his stand.
17 Jese je svojemu sinu Davidu rekel: »Vzemi sedaj za svoje brate škaf tega praženega zrnja in teh deset hlebov ter steci v tabor k svojim bratom
One day Jesse said to his son David, “Take this ephah of roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread for your brothers and hurry to their camp.
18 in teh deset sirov odnesi k poveljniku njihove tisočnije in poglej, kako se imajo tvoji bratje in vzemi njihovo jamstvo.«
Take also these ten portions of cheese to the commander of their unit. Check on the welfare of your brothers and bring back an assurance from them.
19 Torej Savel in oni in vsi Izraelovi možje so bili v dolini Elá, boreč se s Filistejci.
They are with Saul and all the men of Israel in the Valley of Elah, fighting against the Philistines.”
20 David je vstal zgodaj zjutraj in pustil ovce s čuvajem in vzel ter odšel, kakor mu je Jese zapovedal. Prišel je k okopu, medtem ko je šla vojska naprej v boj in zavpila za boj.
So David got up early in the morning, left the flock with a keeper, loaded up, and set out as Jesse had instructed him. He reached the camp as the army was marching out to its position and shouting the battle cry.
21 Kajti Izrael in Filistejci so se postrojili v bitko, vojska zoper vojsko.
And Israel and the Philistines arrayed in formation against each other.
22 David je pustil svoj voz v roki čuvaja voza, stekel v vojsko, prišel in pozdravil svoje brate.
Then David left his supplies in the care of the quartermaster and ran to the battle line. When he arrived, he asked his brothers how they were doing.
23 Medtem ko je govoril z njimi, glej, je prišel šampion, Filistejec iz Gata, po imenu Goljat, iz vojske Filistejcev in govoril glede na te iste besede in David jih je slišal.
And as he was speaking with them, suddenly the champion named Goliath, the Philistine from Gath, came forward from the Philistines and shouted his usual words, which David also heard.
24 Ko so vsi Izraelovi možje videli moža, so zbežali pred njim in bili so boleče prestrašeni.
When all the men of Israel saw Goliath, they fled from him in great fear.
25 Možje iz Izraela so rekli: »Ali ste videli tega moža, ki je prišel gor? Zagotovo je prišel gor, da Izraela izpostavi sramotenju. Zgodilo se bo, da bo moža, ki ga ubije, kralj obogatil z velikimi bogastvi in dal mu bo svojo hčer in osvobodil hišo njegovega očeta v Izraelu.«
Now the men of Israel had been saying, “Do you see this man who keeps coming out to defy Israel? To the man who kills him the king will give great riches. And he will give him his daughter in marriage and exempt his father’s house from taxation in Israel.”
26 David je spregovoril možem, ki so stali poleg njega, rekoč: »Kaj bo storjeno možu, ki ubije tega Filistejca in odvzame grajo od Izraela? Kajti kdo je ta neobrezani Filistejec, da bi izpostavljal sramotenju vojske živega Boga?«
David asked the men who were standing with him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Just who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”
27 Ljudstvo mu je odgovorilo na ta način, rekoč: »Tako bo storjeno možu, ki ga ubije.«
The people told him about the offer, saying, “That is what will be done for the man who kills him.”
28 Njegov najstarejši brat Eliáb pa je slišal, ko je govoril možem. Eliábova jeza je bila vžgana zoper Davida in rekel je: »Zakaj si prišel sèm dol? In s kom si pustil tistih nekaj ovc v divjini? Poznam tvojo ošabnost in porednost tvojega srca, kajti prišel si dol, da bi lahko videl bitko.«
Now when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking to the men, his anger burned against David. “Why have you come down here?” he asked. “And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and wickedness of heart—you have come down to see the battle!”
29 David je rekel: »Kaj sem torej storil? Mar ni tam razlog?«
“What have I done now?” said David. “Was it not just a question?”
30 Od njega se je obrnil k drugemu in mu govoril na isti način, ljudstvo pa mu je ponovno odgovorilo po prejšnjem načinu.
Then he turned from him toward another and asked about the offer, and those people answered him just as the first ones had answered.
31 Ko so bile slišane besede, ki jih je govoril David, so jih ponovili pred Savlom. In ta je poslal ponj.
Now David’s words were overheard and reported to Saul, who called for him.
32 David je rekel Savlu: »Naj srce nobenega človeka ne upade zaradi njega. Tvoj služabnik bo šel in se boril s tem Filistejcem.«
And David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail on account of this Philistine. Your servant will go and fight him!”
33 Savel je rekel Davidu: »Ti nisi zmožen iti zoper tega Filistejca, da se boriš z njim, kajti ti si še mladostnik, on pa je bojevnik od svoje mladosti.«
But Saul replied, “You cannot go out against this Philistine to fight him. You are just a boy, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”
34 David je rekel Savlu: »Tvoj služabnik je pasel ovce svojega očeta in prišel je lev in medved in vzel jagnje iz tropa.
David replied, “Your servant has been tending his father’s sheep, and whenever a lion or a bear came and carried off a lamb from the flock,
35 Odšel sem ven za njim, ga udaril in to osvobodil iz njegovih ust. Ko se je dvignil zoper mene, sem ga ujel za njegovo grivo, ga udaril in usmrtil.
I went after it, struck it down, and delivered the lamb from its mouth. If it reared up against me, I would grab it by its fur, strike it down, and kill it.
36 Tvoj služabnik je usmrtil tako leva kakor medveda in ta neobrezani Filistejec bo kakor eden izmed njiju, glede na to, da je izzival vojske živega Boga.«
Your servant has killed lions and bears; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God.”
37 Poleg tega je David rekel: » Gospod, ki me je osvobodil iz levje šape in iz medvedje šape, on me bo osvobodil iz roke tega Filistejca.« In Savel je rekel Davidu: »Pojdi in Gospod bodi s teboj.«
David added, “The LORD, who delivered me from the claws of the lion and the bear, will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” “Go,” said Saul, “and may the LORD be with you.”
38 Savel je Davida oborožil s svojo bojno opremo in mu na glavo nadel bronasto čelado. Prav tako ga je oborožil z verižnim plaščem.
Then Saul clothed David in his own tunic, put a bronze helmet on his head, and dressed him in armor.
39 David je opasal svoj meč na svojo bojno opremo in poskušal oditi, kajti tega ni preizkusil. David je rekel Savlu: »Ne morem iti s tem, kajti teh [stvari] nisem preizkusil.« In David jih je odložil iz sebe.
David strapped his sword over the tunic and tried to walk, but he was not accustomed to them. “I cannot walk in these,” David said to Saul. “I am not accustomed to them.” So David took them off.
40 Vzel je svojo palico v svojo roko in si izbral pet gladkih kamnov iz potoka in jih položil v pastirsko torbo, ki jo je imel, celo v malho in njegova prača je bila v njegovi roki in približal se je Filistejcu.
And David took his staff in his hand, selected five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag. And with his sling in hand, he approached the Philistine.
41 Filistejec je prišel in se približal Davidu in mož, ki je nosil ščit, je šel pred njim.
Now the Philistine came closer and closer to David, with his shield-bearer before him.
42 Ko je Filistejec pogledal naokoli in zagledal Davida, ga je preziral, kajti bil je šele mladostnik, rdečkast in lepega obličja.
When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him because he was just a boy, ruddy and handsome.
43 Filistejec je Davidu rekel: » Sem mar pes, da prihajaš k meni s palicami?« Filistejec je Davida preklel pri svojih bogovih.
“Am I a dog,” he said to David, “that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 Filistejec je rekel Davidu: »Pridi k meni in tvoje meso bom izročil perjadi neba in živalim polja.«
“Come here,” he called to David, “and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!”
45 Potem je David rekel Filistejcu: »Ti prihajaš k meni z mečem, s sulico in s ščitom, toda jaz prihajam k tebi v imenu Gospoda nad bojevniki, Boga Izraelovih vojsk, ki si ga izpostavljal sramotenju.
But David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
46 Ta dan te bo Gospod izročil v mojo roko in udaril te bom in tvojo glavo vzel iz tebe in trupla vojske Filistejcev bom ta dan izročil zračni perjadi in divjim zverem zemlje, da bo vsa zemlja lahko vedela, da je Bog v Izraelu.
This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand. This day I will strike you down, cut off your head, and give the carcasses of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the creatures of the earth. Then the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.
47 Ves ta zbor bo vedel, da Gospod ne rešuje z mečem in sulico, kajti boj je Gospodov in on vas bo izročil v naše roke.«
And all those assembled here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and He will give all of you into our hands.”
48 Pripetilo se je, ko je Filistejec vstal in prišel ter se približal, da sreča Davida, da je David pohitel in stekel proti vojski, da sreča Filistejca.
As the Philistine started forward to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.
49 David je svojo roko položil v svojo torbo, od tam vzel kamen, ga zalučal in udaril Filistejca v njegovo čelo, da je kamen potonil v njegovo čelo in ta je padel na svoj obraz k zemlji.
Then David reached into his bag, took out a stone, and slung it, striking the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
50 Tako je David prevladal nad Filistejcem s pračo in s kamnom in Filistejca udaril in ubil, pa vendar v Davidovi roki ni bilo meča.
Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
51 Zato je David stekel in obstal nad Filistejcem, vzel njegov meč, ga izvlekel iz njegove nožnice, ga ubil in z njim odsekal njegovo glavo. Ko so Filistejci videli, da je bil njihov šampion mrtev, so pobegnili.
David ran and stood over him. He grabbed the Philistine’s sword and pulled it from its sheath and killed him; and he cut off his head with the sword. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran.
52 Možje iz Izraela in možje iz Juda so vstali, zavpili in zasledovali Filistejce, dokler ne prideš do doline in k velikim vratom Ekróna. Ranjeni izmed Filistejcev so padali dol po poti k Šaarájimu, celo do Gata in do Ekróna.
Then the men of Israel and Judah charged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath and to the gates of Ekron. And the bodies of the Philistines were strewn along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron.
53 Izraelovi otroci so se vrnili iz preganjanja za Filistejci in oplenili njihove šotore.
When the Israelites returned from their pursuit of the Philistines, they plundered their camps.
54 David je vzel glavo Filistejca in jo prinesel v Jeruzalem, toda njegovo bojno opremo je odložil v svoj šotor.
David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, and he put Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.
55 Ko je Savel zagledal Davida iti naprej zoper Filistejca, je rekel Abnêrju, poveljniku vojske: »Abnêr, čigav sin je ta mladostnik?« Abnêr je rekel: » Kakor živi tvoja duša, oh kralj, ne morem povedati.«
As Saul had watched David going out to confront the Philistine, he said to Abner the commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is this young man?” “As surely as you live, O king,” Abner replied, “I do not know.”
56 Kralj je rekel: »Poizvedi, čigav sin je ta najstnik.«
“Find out whose son this young man is!” said the king.
57 Ko se je David vrnil iz uboja Filistejca, ga je Abnêr vzel in privedel pred Savla, s Filistejčevo glavo v svoji roki.
So when David returned from killing the Philistine, still holding his head in his hand, Abner took him and brought him before Saul.
58 Savel mu je rekel: »Čigav sin si ti, ti mladenič?« David je odgovoril: »Jaz sem sin tvojega služabnika Betlehemca Jeseja.«
“Whose son are you, young man?” asked Saul. “I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem,” David replied.
