1 Samuel 20
1 David je pobegnil iz Najóta v Rami in prišel ter pred Jonatanom rekel: »Kaj sem storil? Kaj je moja krivda? Kakšen je moj greh pred tvojim očetom, da mi streže po življenju?«
AND David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
2 Rekel mu je: »Bog ne daj. Ne boš umrl. Glej, moj oče ne bo storil ničesar, ali velikega ali malega, razen, da mi bo to pokazal. Zakaj bi moj oče to stvar skril pred menoj? To ni tako.«
And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will shew it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.
3 David je poleg tega prisegel in rekel: »Tvoj oče zagotovo ve, da sem našel milost v tvojih očeh.« Rekel je: »Naj Jonatan tega ne izve, da ne bi bil užaloščen, toda resnično, kakor živi Gospod in kakor živi tvoja duša, je samo korak med menoj in smrtjo.«
And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.
4 Potem je Jonatan rekel Davidu: »Karkoli želi tvoja duša, celo to bom storil zate.«
Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.
5 David je Jonatanu rekel: »Glej, jutri je mlaj in jaz naj ne bi manjkal sedeti s kraljem pri mizi. Toda pusti mi oditi, da se lahko skrijem na polju do tretjega dne zvečer.
And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.
6 Če me tvoj oče sploh pogreši, potem reci: ›David je iskreno prosil oditi od mene, da lahko teče v svoje mesto Betlehem, kajti tam je letna klavna daritev za vso družino.‹
If thy father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Beth-lehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
7 Če reče tako: › To je dobro, ‹ bo tvoj služabnik imel mir. Toda če bo zelo ogorčen, potem bodi prepričan, da je po njem določeno zlo.
If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him.
8 Zato boš prijazno postopal s svojim služabnikom, kajti svojega služabnika si privedel v Gospodovo zavezo s seboj. Vendar če bo v meni krivičnost, me sam ubij, kajti zakaj bi me privedel k svojemu očetu?«
Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the Lord with thee: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?
9 Jonatan je rekel: »To bodi daleč od tebe, kajti če zagotovo izvem, da je bilo po mojem očetu določeno zlo, da pride nadte, mar ti ne bi potem tega povedal?«
And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?
10 Potem je David rekel Jonatanu: »Kdo mi bo povedal? Ali kaj če ti tvoj oče odgovori surovo?«
Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father answer thee roughly?
11 Jonatan je rekel Davidu: »Pridi in pojdiva ven na polje.« In oba izmed njiju sta odšla na polje.
And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
12 Jonatan je rekel Davidu: »Oh Gospod, Izraelov Bog, ko bom kadarkoli slišal svojega očeta, jutri ali tretji dan in glej, če bo dobro do Davida in potem ne pošljem k tebi in ti tega ne pokažem;
And Jonathan said unto David, O Lord God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not unto thee, and shew it thee;
13 Gospod stori tako in mnogo več Jonatanu. Toda če to ugaja mojemu očetu, da ti stori zlo, potem ti bom to pokazal in te poslal proč, da boš lahko šel v miru, in Gospod bodi s teboj, kakor je bil z mojim očetom.
The Lord do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
14 Dokler še živim ne boš samo meni izkazoval Gospodove prijaznosti, da ne umrem,
And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the Lord, that I die not:
15 temveč tudi svoje prijaznosti ne boš odsekal od moje hiše na veke. Ne, niti ko je Gospod odsekal Davidove sovražnike, vsakega iz obličja zemlje.«
But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the Lord hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
16 Tako je Jonatan sklenil zavezo z Davidovo hišo, rekoč: »Naj Gospod to celo zahteva pri roki Davidovih sovražnikov.«
So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the Lord even require it at the hand of David’s enemies.
17 Jonatan je Davidu dal, da je ponovno prisegel, ker ga je ljubil, kajti ljubil ga je, kakor je ljubil svojo lastno dušo.
And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
18 Potem je Jonatan rekel Davidu: »Jutri je mlaj in ti boš pogrešan, ker bo tvoj sedež prazen.
Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.
19 Ko boš tri dni ostal, potem boš hitro šel dol in prišel h kraju, kjer si se skril, ko je bilo opravilo v roki in ostal boš pri kamnu Ezelu.
And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.
20 Jaz pa bom izstrelil tri puščice na tej strani, kakor če streljam v tarčo.
And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.
21 Glej, poslal bom dečka, rekoč: ›Pojdi, najdi puščice.‹ Če bom dečku izrecno rekel: ›Glej, puščice so na tej tvoji strani, vzemi jih, ‹ potem pridi, kajti tam je zate mir in nobene škode, kakor Gospod živi.
And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for there is peace to thee, and no hurt; as the Lord liveth.
22 Toda če mladeniču rečem tako: ›Glej, puščice so onstran tebe, ‹ pojdi svojo pot, kajti Gospod te pošilja proč.
But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way: for the Lord hath sent thee away.
23 Glede zadeve, o kateri sva govorila, glej, Gospod bodi med menoj in teboj na veke.«
And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the Lord be between thee and me for ever.
24 Tako se je David skril na polju. Ko je prišel mlaj, se je kralj usedel, da jé hrano.
So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat.
25 Kralj je sedel na svojem sedežu, kakor ob drugih časih, torej sedežu pri zidu in Jonatan je vstal in Abnêr je sedel pri Savlovi strani, Davidovo mesto pa je bilo prazno.
And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, and David’s place was empty.
26 Kljub temu Savel ta dan ni spregovoril nobene stvari, kajti mislil je: »Nekaj se mu je pripetilo, ni čist. Zagotovo ni čist.«
Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean.
27 Pripetilo se je naslednji dan, ki je bil drugi dan meseca, da je bil Davidov prostor prazen. Savel je rekel svojemu sinu Jonatanu: »Zakaj ne prihaja Jesejev sin k jedi niti včeraj niti danes.«
And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David’s place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?
28 Jonatan je odgovoril Savlu: »David me je iskreno prosil za dovoljenje, da gre v Betlehem.
And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Beth-lehem:
29 Rekel je: ›Pusti me oditi, prosim te, kajti naša družina ima klavno daritev v mestu in moj brat mi je zapovedal, naj bom tam in sedaj, če sem našel naklonjenost v tvojih očeh, mi pusti oditi, prosim te in videti svoje brate.‹ Zato ne prihaja h kraljevi mizi.«
And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king’s table.
30 Potem je bila Savlova jeza vžgana zoper Jonatana in mu je rekel: »Ti, sin sprevržene uporne ženske, mar ne vem, da si si izbral Jesejevega sina v svojo lastno zmedo in k zmedi nagote svoje matere?
Then Saul’s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother’s nakedness?
31 Kajti dokler Jesejev sin živi na zemlji, ne boš utrjen niti tvoje kraljestvo. Zato sedaj pošlji in mi ga pripelji, kajti zagotovo bo umrl.«
For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.
32 Jonatan je svojemu očetu Savlu odgovoril in mu rekel: »Zakaj naj bi bil umorjen? Kaj je storil?«
And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done?
33 Savel je vanj vrgel kopje, da ga pobije, po čemer je Jonatan vedel, da je bilo od njegovega očeta odločeno, da Davida usmrti.
And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.
34 Tako je Jonatan v siloviti jezi vstal od mize in drugi dan meseca ni jedel nobene hrane, kajti užaloščen je bil zaradi Davida, ker mu je oče storil sramoto.
So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
35 Pripetilo se je zjutraj, da je Jonatan odšel na polje ob času, dogovorjenem z Davidom in majhen deček z njim.
And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
36 Svojemu dečku je rekel: »Steci, poišči sedaj puščice, ki jih izstrelim.« In medtem ko je deček stekel, je izstrelil puščico preko njega.
And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
37 Ko je deček prišel na mesto puščice, ki jo je Jonatan izstrelil, je Jonatan zaklical za dečkom in rekel: » Ali ni puščica onstran tebe?«
And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?
38 Jonatan je zaklical za dečkom: »Podvizaj se, pohiti, ne stoj.« Jonatanov deček je zbral puščice in prišel k svojemu gospodarju.
And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan’s lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
39 Toda deček ni vedel nobene stvari. Samo Jonatan in David sta poznala zadevo.
But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
40 Jonatan je izročil svoje strelno orožje svojemu dečku in mu rekel: »Pojdi, odnesi jih v mesto.«
And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city.
41 In brž ko je deček odšel, se je David dvignil iz kraja proti jugu in padel na svoj obraz na tla in se trikrat priklonil. Drug drugega sta poljubila in jokala drug z drugim, dokler David ni prevladal [v joku].
And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
42 Jonatan je rekel Davidu: »Pojdi v miru, kakor sva oba izmed naju prisegla v Gospodovem imenu, rekoč: ›GOSPOD bodi med menoj in teboj in med mojim semenom in tvojim semenom na veke.‹« In vstal je ter odpotoval, Jonatan pa je odšel v mesto.
And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
