1 Samuel 18
1 Pripetilo se je, ko je končal pogovor s Savlom, da se je Jonatanova duša povezala z Davidovo dušo in Jonatan ga je vzljubil kakor svojo lastno dušo.
[And it came to pass when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David and David loved him ] [as his own soul. ]
2 Savel ga je ta dan vzel in mu ni več dovolil iti domov, k hiši svojega očeta.
[And Saul took him in that day, and did not suffer him to return to his father's house. ]
3 Potem sta Jonatan in David sklenila zavezo, ker ga je vzljubil kakor svojo lastno dušo.
[And Jonathan and David made a covenant because he loved him as his own soul. ]
4 Jonatan si je slekel vrhnje oblačilo, ki je bilo na njem in ga dal Davidu, in svoja oblačila, celo do svojega meča, svojega loka in svojega pasu.
[And Jonathan stripped himself of his ] [upper garment, and gave it to David, and his mantle and all he had upon him, even to his sword and to his bow, and to his girdle. ]
5 David je odšel ven, kamor ga je poslal Savel in se modro vedel. Savel ga je postavil nad bojevnike in sprejet je bil pred očmi vsega ljudstva in tudi pred očmi Savlovih služabnikov.
[And David went out withersoever Saul sent him, and ] [acted wisely, and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was pleasing in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul. ]
6 Pripetilo se je, medtem ko so prišli, ko se je David vrnil iz pokola Filistejca, da so prišle ženske ven iz vseh Izraelovih mest, pojoč in plešoč, da srečajo kralja Savla z bobniči, z radostjo in z glasbenimi instrumenti.
And there came out women in dances to meet David out of all the cities of Israel, with timbrels, and with rejoicing, and with cymbals.
7 Ženske so odgovarjale druga drugi, medtem ko so igrale in govorile: »Savel je umoril svoje tisoče, David pa svoje deset tisoče.«
And the women began [the strain], and said, Saul has struck his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
8 Savel je bil zelo ogorčen in [to] govorjenje mu ni ugajalo in je rekel: »Davidu so pripisale deset tisoče, meni pa so pripisale samo tisoče. Kaj ima lahko več kakor kraljestvo?«
And it seemed evil in the eyes of Saul concerning this matter, and he said, To David they have given ten thousands, and to me they have given thousands. [And what more can he have but the kingdom? ]
9 Savel je od tistega dne dalje Davida opazoval.
[And Saul eyed David from that day and onward. ]
10 Pripetilo se je naslednji dan, da je nad Savla prišel zli duh od Boga in je prerokoval v sredi hiše. David pa je igral s svojo roko kakor ob drugih časih. V Savlovi roki pa je bilo kopje.
[And it came to pass on the morrow that an evil spirit from God fell upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David was playing on the harp with his hand, according to his daily custom. And Saul’s spear was in his hand. ]
11 Savel je zalučal kopje, kajti rekel je: » S tem bom Davida udaril celo k zidu.« David pa se je dvakrat izognil njegovi prisotnosti.
[And Saul took his spear and said, I will strike David even to the wall. But David escaped twice from his presence. ]
12 Savel se je bal Davida, ker je bil Gospod z njim, od Savla pa je odšel.
And Saul was alarmed on account of David.
13 Zato ga je Savel odstranil od sebe in ga postavil za poveljnika nad tisočimi in odhajal in prihajal je pred ljudstvom.
And he removed him from him, and made him a captain of a thousand for himself; and he went out and came in before the people.
14 David se je na vseh svojih poteh obnašal modro in Gospod je bil z njim.
And David was prudent in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
15 Zato se ga je Savel, ko je videl, da se je obnašal zelo modro, bal.
And Saul saw that he was very wise, and he was afraid of him.
16 Toda ves Izrael in Juda je ljubil Davida, zato ker je odhajal in prihajal pred njimi.
And all Israel and Juda loved David, because he came in and went out before the people.
17 Savel je rekel Davidu: »Glej mojo starejšo hči Merábo, njo ti bom dal za ženo, samo hraber bodi zame in bojuj Gospodove boje.« Kajti Savel je rekel: »Naj moja roka ne bo nad njim, temveč naj bo nad njim roka Filistejcev.«
[And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to you to Wife, only be you to me a mighty man and fight the wars of the Lord. And Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but the hand of the Philistines shall be upon him. ]
18 David je rekel Savlu: »Kdo sem jaz? In kaj je moje življenje ali družina mojega očeta v Izraelu, da bi bil kraljev zet?«
[And David said to Saul, Who am I, and What is the life of my father’s family in Israel, that I should be the king’s son—in-law? ]
19 Toda pripetilo se je ob času, ko naj bi bila Savlova hči Merába dana Davidu, da je bila dana za ženo Mehólčanu Adriélu.
[But it came to pass at the time when Merob Saul’s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given to Israel the Mothulathite to wife. ]
20 Savlova hči Mihála je ljubila Davida in povedali so Savlu in stvar mu je ugajala.
And Melchol the daughter of Saul loved David; and it was told Saul, and the thing was pleasing in his eyes.
21 Savel je rekel: »Dal mu jo bom, da mu bo lahko za zanko in da bo roka Filistejcev lahko zoper njega.« Zato je Savel rekel Davidu: »Danes boš moj zet z eno od dveh.«
And Saul said, I will give her to him, and she shall be a stumbling block to him. Now the hand of the Philistines was against Saul.
22 Savel je zapovedal svojim služabnikom, rekoč: »Na skrivaj se pogovarjajte z Davidom in recite: ›Glej, kralj se razveseljuje v tebi in vsi njegovi služabniki te ljubijo. Sedaj torej postani kraljev zet.‹«
And Saul charged his servants, saying, Speak you privately to David, saying, Behold, the king delights in you, and all his servants love you, and do you becomes the king's son-in-law.
23 Savlovi služabniki so te besede govorili na Davidova ušesa. David je rekel: »Ali se vam zdi to lahka stvar postati kraljev zet, glede na to, da sem revež in preziran?«
And the servants of Saul spoke these words in the ears of David; and David said, [Is it] a light thing in your eyes to become son-in-law to the king? Whereas I [am] an humble man, an not honourable?
24 Savlovi služabniki so mu povedali, rekoč: »David je govoril na ta način.«
And the servants of Saul reported to him according to these words, which David spoke.
25 Savel je rekel: »Tako boste rekli Davidu: ›Kralj ne želi nobene dote, temveč sto prednjih kožic Filistejcev, da bi bil maščevan nad kraljevimi sovražniki.‹« Toda Savel je mislil, da bi Davidu povzročil pasti po roki Filistejcev.
And Saul said, Thus shall you speak to David, The king wants no gift but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to avenge himself on the kings enemies. Now Saul thought to cast him into the hands of the Philistines.
26 Ko so njegovi služabniki te besede povedali Davidu, je Davidu ugajalo, da bi bil kraljev zet in dnevi še niso pretekli.
And the servants of Saul report these words to David, and David was well pleased to become the son-in-law to the king.
27 Zato je David vstal in odšel, on in njegovi možje in izmed Filistejcev so usmrtili dvesto mož. David je prinesel njihove prednje kožice in v polnem številu so jih izročili kralju, da bi postal kraljev zet. In Savel mu je dal svojo hčer Mihálo za ženo.
And David arose, and went, he and his men, and struck amongst the Philistines a hundred men: and he brought their foreskins, and he becomes the king's son-in-law, and [Saul] gives him Melchol his daughter to wife.
28 Savel je videl in spoznal, da je bil Gospod z Davidom in da ga je Savlova hči Mihála ljubila.
And Saul saw that the Lord [was] with David, and [that] all Israel loved him.
29 Savel pa se je še bolj bal Davida in Savel je dnevno postajal Davidov sovražnik.
And he was yet more afraid of David.
30 Potem so princi Filistejcev odšli naprej in pripetilo se je, potem ko so šli naprej, da se je David obnašal bolj modro kakor vsi Savlovi služabniki, tako da je bilo njegovo ime zelo cenjeno.
[And the chief of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass that from the suficiency of their expedition David acted Wisely above all the servants of Saul; and his name was honoured exceedingly. ]
