< 1 Samuel 19 >

1 Savel je spregovoril svojemu sinu Jonatanu in vsem svojim služabnikom, da naj ubijejo Davida.
Then Saul ordered his son Jonathan and all his servants to kill David. But Jonathan delighted greatly in David,
2 Toda Savlov sin Jonatan se je zelo veselil v Davidu, in Jonatan je povedal Davidu, rekoč: »Moj oče Savel si prizadeva, da te ubije. Sedaj torej, prosim te, pazi nase do jutra in ostani na skritem mestu in se skrij,
so he warned David, saying, “My father Saul intends to kill you. Be on your guard in the morning; find a secret place and hide there.
3 jaz pa bom šel ven in stal poleg svojega očeta na polju, kjer si ti in se bom s svojim očetom posvetoval o tebi in kar vidim, to ti bom povedal.«
I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, so I can ask about you. And if I find out anything, I will tell you.”
4 Jonatan je svojemu očetu Savlu govoril dobro o Davidu in mu rekel: »Naj kralj ne greši zoper svojega služabnika, zoper Davida, ker on ni grešil zoper tebe in ker so bila njegova dela do tebe zelo dobra,
Then Jonathan spoke well of David to his father Saul and said to him, “The king should not sin against his servant David; he has not sinned against you. In fact, his actions have been highly beneficial to you.
5 kajti ali ni svojega življenja položil v svojo roko in usmrtil Filistejca in je Gospod izvršil veliko rešitev duš za ves Izrael. Ti si to videl in si se veselil. Zakaj potem hočeš grešiti zoper nedolžno kri, da bi Davida ubil brez razloga?«
He took his life in his hands when he struck down the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great salvation for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced, so why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason?”
6 Savel je prisluhnil Jonatanovemu glasu in Savel je prisegel: » Kakor živi Gospod, on ne bo umorjen.«
Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan and swore an oath: “As surely as the LORD lives, David will not be put to death.”
7 Jonatan je poklical Davida in Jonatan mu je pokazal vse te stvari. Jonatan je Davida privedel k Savlu in bil je v njegovi prisotnosti, kakor v preteklih časih.
So Jonathan summoned David and told him all these things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul to serve him as he had before.
8 Tam je bila ponovno vojna in David je odšel ven in se boril s Filistejci in jih usmrtil z velikim pokolom in oni so zbežali od njega.
When war broke out again, David went out and fought the Philistines and struck them with such a mighty blow that they fled before him.
9 Zli duh od Gospoda je bil nad Savlom, ko je sedel v svoji hiši, s svojim kopjem v svoji roki in David je igral s svojo roko.
But as Saul was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand, a spirit of distress from the LORD came upon him. While David was playing the harp,
10 Savel si je prizadeval, da s kopjem udari Davida, celo k zidu, toda ta se je izmuznil iz Savlove prisotnosti in kopje je zapičil v zid, David pa je zbežal in tisto noč pobegnil.
Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear. But the spear struck the wall and David eluded him, ran away, and escaped that night.
11 Savel je tudi k Davidovi hiši poslal poslance, da ga stražijo in da ga zjutraj ubijejo. In Davidova žena Mihála mu je povedala, rekoč: »Če nocoj ne rešiš svojega življenja, boš jutri umorjen.«
Then Saul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and kill him in the morning. But David’s wife Michal warned him, “If you do not run for your life tonight, tomorrow you will be dead!”
12 Tako je Mihála Davida spustila navzdol skozi okno in odšel je, bežal ter pobegnil.
So Michal lowered David from the window, and he ran away and escaped.
13 Mihála pa je vzela kip in ga položila na posteljo in za njegov vzglavnik položila blazino iz kozje dlake in to pokrila z obleko.
Then Michal took a household idol and laid it in the bed, placed some goat hair on its head, and covered it with a garment.
14 Ko je Savel poslal poslance, da primejo Davida, je rekla: »Bolan je.«
When Saul sent the messengers to seize David, Michal said, “He is ill.”
15 Savel je ponovno poslal poslance, da vidijo Davida, rekoč: »Privedite ga gor k meni v postelji, da ga bom lahko ubil.«
But Saul sent the messengers back to see David and told them, “Bring him up to me in his bed so I can kill him.”
16 Ko so poslanci vstopili, glej, je bil v postelji kip, z blazino iz kozje dlake za njegov vzglavnik.
And when the messengers entered, there was the idol in the bed with the quilt of goats’ hair on its head.
17 Savel je rekel Miháli: »Zakaj si me tako zavedla in mojega sovražnika poslala proč, da je pobegnil?« Mihála je Savlu odgovorila: »Rekel mi je: ›Pusti me oditi; čemu bi te ubil?‹«
And Saul said to Michal, “Why did you deceive me like this? You sent my enemy away and he has escaped!” Michal replied, “He said to me, ‘Help me get away, or I will kill you!’”
18 Tako je David bežal, pobegnil in prišel k Samuelu v Ramo ter mu povedal vse, kar mu je Savel storil. In on in Samuel sta odšla ter prebivala v Najótu.
So David ran away and escaped. And he went to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to Naioth and stayed there.
19 To je bilo povedano Savlu, rekoč, poglej: »David je pri Najótu v Rami.«
When Saul was told that David was at Naioth in Ramah,
20 Savel je poslal poslance, da primejo Davida. Ko pa so ti zagledali skupino prerokov, ki je prerokovala in Samuela stati kot določenega nad njimi, je bil Božji Duh nad Savlovimi poslanci in tudi oni so prerokovali.
he sent messengers to capture him. But when they saw the group of prophets prophesying, with Samuel leading them, the Spirit of God came upon them, and Saul’s messengers also began to prophesy.
21 Ko je bilo to povedano Savlu, je poslal druge poslance in tudi ti so prerokovali. In Savel je ponovno, tretjič, poslal poslance in tudi ti so prerokovali.
When this was reported to Saul, he sent more messengers, but they began to prophesy as well. So Saul tried again and sent messengers a third time, and even they began to prophesy.
22 Potem je tudi sam odšel v Ramo in prišel k velikemu vodnjaku, ki je v Sehuju. Vprašal je in rekel: »Kje sta Samuel in David?« Nekdo je rekel: »Glej, onadva sta pri Najótu v Rami.«
Finally, Saul himself left for Ramah and came to the large cistern at Secu, where he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” “At Naioth in Ramah,” he was told.
23 In odšel je tja k Najótu v Ramo in Božji Duh je bil tudi nad njim in šel je naprej in prerokoval, dokler ni prišel k Najótu v Ramo.
So Saul went to Naioth in Ramah. But the Spirit of God came upon even Saul, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 Tudi on je slekel svoja oblačila in na podoben način prerokoval pred Samuelom in ves ta dan in vso noč ležal gol. Zato pravijo: » Ali je tudi Savel med preroki?«
Then Saul stripped off his robes and also prophesied before Samuel. And he collapsed and lay naked all that day and night. That is why it is said, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
