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 made an end of speaking unto Saul, that, the soul of Jonathan, was knit with, the soul of David, so that Jonathan 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, that day, —and suffered him not to return unto the house of his father.
3 Potem sta Jonatan in David sklenila zavezo, ker ga je vzljubil kakor svojo lastno dušo.
And Jonathan and David solemnised 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 the robe which was upon him, and gave it to David, —and his equipments, 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 forth—whithersoever Saul sent him, he behaved himself prudently, so Saul set him over the men of war, —and he became a favourite in the eyes of all the people, yea even 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.
But so it was, when they came in on the return of David from the smiting of the Philistine, that the women went forth out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet Saul the king, —with timbrels, with rejoicing, and with instruments of three strings.
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 that made merry responded to each other in song, and said, —Saul, hath smitten, his thousands, but, David, his, tens of 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?«
Then was Saul exceeding angry, and this saying was offensive in his eyes, and he said, —They have ascribed, to David, ten thousands, but, to me, have they ascribed thousands, —What, more, then, can he have but, the kingdom?
9 Savel je od tistega dne dalje Davida opazoval.
And Saul was eyeing David from that day forward.
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, when it came to pass, on the morrow, that a superhuman spirit of sadness came suddenly upon Saul, and he was moved to raving in the midst of the house, —and, David, began playing with his hand, as he had done day by day, that a spear being in Saul’s 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.
Saul hurled the spear, and said to himself—I will smite David, even to the wall! But David moved round from before him, twice.
12 Savel se je bal Davida, ker je bil Gospod z njim, od Savla pa je odšel.
And Saul feared because of David, —for Yahweh was with him, whereas, from Saul, he had departed.
13 Zato ga je Savel odstranil od sebe in ga postavil za poveljnika nad tisočimi in odhajal in prihajal je pred ljudstvom.
So Saul removed him from him, and appointed him to be for him the captain of a thousand, —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 it came to pass that David, in all his ways, acted prudently, —and, Yahweh, was with him.
15 Zato se ga je Savel, ko je videl, da se je obnašal zelo modro, bal.
And, when Saul saw that, he, was acting very prudently, he was afraid of him.
16 Toda ves Izrael in Juda je ljubil Davida, zato ker je odhajal in prihajal pred njimi.
But, all Israel and Judah, were in love with David, —for he was going out and coming in before them.
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.«
So then Saul said unto David—Lo! my elder daughter Merab, her, will I give thee to wife, only, approve thyself unto me as a son of valour and fight the battles of Yahweh. Saul, however, had said to himself—Let not, my own hand, be upon him, but let, the hand of the Philistines, 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 unto Saul—Who am, I, or who are my kinsfolk, the family of my father, in Israel, —that I should become son-in-law, to the king?
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, within the time for giving Merab daughter of Saul to David, that, she, was given to Adriel the Meholathite, to wife.
20 Savlova hči Mihála je ljubila Davida in povedali so Savlu in stvar mu je ugajala.
Then did Michal, Saul’s daughter, love David, —and it was told Saul, and the thing was right 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 to himself—I will give her unto him, that she may prove to him a snare, and that, the hand of the Philistines, may be upon him. So then Saul said unto David, A second time, mayest thou become my son-in-law to-day.
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 commanded his servants—Speak ye unto David quietly saying, Lo! the king delighteth in thee, and, all his servants, love thee, —now, therefore, become thou son-in-law to the king.
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 spake, in the ears of David, these words. And David said—Seemeth it a light thing, in your eyes, to become son-in-law to the king, seeing that, I, am a poor man and lightly esteemed?
24 Savlovi služabniki so mu povedali, rekoč: »David je govoril na ta način.«
So the servants of Saul told him, saying, —According to these words, spake David,
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.
Then said Saul—Thus, shall ye say unto David—The king hath no delight in purchase-price, but rather in a hundred foreskins of Philistines, by avenging himself on the enemies of the king. But, Saul, thought to let David fall by the hand 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.
So, when his servants told David these words, the thing was right in the eyes of David, to become son-in-law unto the king, —and the days had not expired.
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.
Wherefore David arose, and went—he and his men, and smote among the Philistines two hundred men, and David brought in their foreskins, and gave them in full tale unto the king, that he might become son-in-law unto the king, and Saul gave him Michal 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 and knew that, Yahweh, 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.
So then Saul went on to fear because of David, yet more, —and it came to pass that Saul was hostile to David, all the days.
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, when the princes of the Philistines came forth, so it was, that, as often as they came forth, David was more circumspect than any of the servants of Saul, so that his name was, precious exceedingly.
