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?«
David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said to Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? What is my sin before your father, that he seeks 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.«
He said to him, “Far from it; you will not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small, but that he discloses it to me. Why would 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.«
David swore moreover, and said, “Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he says, ‘Don’t let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved;’ but truly as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, 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 Jonathan said to David, “Whatever your soul desires, I will even do it for you.”
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.
David said to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to dine with the king; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at evening.
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 your father misses me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem, his city; for it is the 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 says, ‘It is well,’ your servant shall have peace; but if he is angry, then know 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 deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of Yahweh with you; but if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself, for why should you bring me to your 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?«
Jonathan said, “Far be it from you; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come on you, then wouldn’t I tell you that?”
10 Potem je David rekel Jonatanu: »Kdo mi bo povedal? Ali kaj če ti tvoj oče odgovori surovo?«
Then David said to Jonathan, “Who will tell me if your father answers you roughly?”
11 Jonatan je rekel Davidu: »Pridi in pojdiva ven na polje.« In oba izmed njiju sta odšla na polje.
Jonathan said to David, “Come! Let’s go out into the field.” They both went out 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;
Jonathan said to David, “By Yahweh, the God of Israel, when I have sounded out my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if there is good toward David, won’t I then send to you and disclose it to you?
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.
Yahweh do so to Jonathan and more also, should it please my father to do you evil, if I don’t disclose it to you and send you away, that you may go in peace. May Yahweh be with you as he has been with my father.
14 Dokler še živim ne boš samo meni izkazoval Gospodove prijaznosti, da ne umrem,
You shall not only show me the loving kindness of Yahweh while I still live, that I not die;
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 you shall also not cut off your kindness from my house forever, no, not when Yahweh has cut off every one of the enemies of David from the surface 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 David’s house, saying, “Yahweh will 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.
Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to 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 him, “Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will be missed, because your 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.
When you have stayed three days, go down quickly and come to the place where you hid yourself when this started, and remain by the stone Ezel.
20 Jaz pa bom izstrelil tri puščice na tej strani, kakor če streljam v tarčo.
I will shoot three arrows on its side, 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.
Behold, I will send the boy, saying, ‘Go, find the arrows!’ If I tell the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are on this side of you. Take them;’ then come, for there is peace to you and no danger, as Yahweh lives.
22 Toda če mladeniču rečem tako: ›Glej, puščice so onstran tebe, ‹ pojdi svojo pot, kajti Gospod te pošilja proč.
But if I say this to the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are beyond you,’ then go your way, for Yahweh has sent you away.
23 Glede zadeve, o kateri sva govorila, glej, Gospod bodi med menoj in teboj na veke.«
Concerning the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, Yahweh is between you and me forever.”
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. When the new moon had come, the king sat himself down to eat food.
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.
The king sat on his seat, as at other times, even on the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, but 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 didn’t say anything that day, for he thought, “Something has happened to 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.«
On the next day after the new moon, the second day, David’s place was empty. Saul said to Jonathan his son, “Why didn’t the son of Jesse come to eat, either yesterday, or today?”
28 Jonatan je odgovoril Savlu: »David me je iskreno prosil za dovoljenje, da gre v Betlehem.
Jonathan answered Saul, “David earnestly asked permission of me to go to Bethlehem.
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.«
He said, ‘Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city. My brother has commanded me to be there. Now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me go away and see my brothers.’ Therefore he has not come to 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 burned against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse rebellious woman, don’t I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your 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 lives on the earth, you will not be established, nor will your kingdom. Therefore now send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die!”
32 Jonatan je svojemu očetu Savlu odgovoril in mu rekel: »Zakaj naj bi bil umorjen? Kaj je storil?«
Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, “Why should he be put to death? What has 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.
Saul cast his spear at him to strike him. By this Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death.
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 ate no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father had treated him shamefully.
35 Pripetilo se je zjutraj, da je Jonatan odšel na polje ob času, dogovorjenem z Davidom in majhen deček z njim.
In the morning, Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little boy 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.
He said to his boy, “Run, find now the arrows which I shoot.” As the boy 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?«
When the boy had come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the boy, and said, “Isn’t the arrow beyond you?”
38 Jonatan je zaklical za dečkom: »Podvizaj se, pohiti, ne stoj.« Jonatanov deček je zbral puščice in prišel k svojemu gospodarju.
Jonathan cried after the boy, “Go fast! Hurry! Don’t delay!” Jonathan’s boy 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 boy didn’t know anything. Only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
40 Jonatan je izročil svoje strelno orožje svojemu dečku in mu rekel: »Pojdi, odnesi jih v mesto.«
Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy, and said to 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].
As soon as the boy was gone, David arose out of the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times. They kissed one another and wept with one another, and David wept the most.
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.
Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, because we have both sworn in Yahweh’s name, saying, ‘Yahweh is between me and you, and between my offspring and your offspring, forever.’” He arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.
