1 Samuel 22

1 David je torej odpotoval od tam in pobegnil v votlino Adulám. Ko so njegovi bratje in vsa hiša njegovega očeta to slišali, so odšli dol, tja k njemu.

And David departed thence, and escaped to the cave of Adullam. And his brethren and all his father's house heard [it], and they went down thither to him.

2 K njemu so se zbrali skupaj vsak, kdor je bil v stiski in vsak, kdor je bil v dolgu in vsak, kdor je bil nezadovoljen; in postal je poveljnik nad njimi in tam je bilo z njim okoli štiristo mož.

And every one in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one of embittered spirit collected round him; and he became a captain over them; and there were with him about four hundred men.

3 David je od tam odšel v moábsko Micpo in moabskemu kralju rekel: »Naj moj oče in moja mati, prosim te, prideta naprej in bosta s teboj, dokler ne izvem kaj bo Bog storil zame.«

And David went thence to Mizpeh in Moab, and said to the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth amongst you, till I know what God will do for me.

4 In privedel ju je pred moábskega kralja in prebivala sta z njim ves čas, ko je bil David v utrjenem kraju.

And he brought them before the king of Moab; and they abode with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.

5 Prerok Gad je rekel Davidu: »Ne prebivaj v utrjenem kraju. Odidi in pojdi v Judovo deželo.« Potem je David odrinil in prišel v gozd Heret.

And the prophet Gad said to David, Abide not in the stronghold; depart, and go into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.

6 Ko je Savel slišal, da so odkrili Davida in može, ki so bili z njim (torej Savel je prebival v Gíbei, pod drevesom v Rami, s svojo sulico v svoji roki in vsi njegovi služabniki so stali okoli njega),

And Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah under the tamarisk upon the height, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing by him.

7 je potem Savel rekel svojim služabnikom, ki so stali okoli njega: »Poslušajte torej, vi Benjaminovci, ali bo Jesejev sin vsakemu izmed vas dal polja in vinograde in vas vse postavil za poveljnike nad tisočimi in poveljnike nad stotimi,

Then Saul said to his servants that stood by him, Hear now, ye Benjaminites: will the son of Jesse give every one of you also fields and vineyards? Will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,

8 da ste se vsi izmed vas zarotili zoper mene in tam ni nikogar, ki mi kaže, da je moj sin sklenil dogovor z Jesejevim sinom in tam ni nikogar izmed vas, ki mu je žal zame ali mi kaže, da je moj sin zoper mene razvnel mojega služabnika, da preži v zasedi, kakor ta dan?«

that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that informs me when my son has made [a covenant] with the son of Jesse; and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or informs me that my son has stirred up my servant as a lier-in-wait against me, as at this day?

9 Potem je odgovoril Edómec Doég, ki je bil postavljen nad Savlove služabnike in rekel: »Videl sem Jesejevega sina prihajati v Nob, k Ahitúbovemu sinu Ahimélehu.

Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.

10 Ta je od Gospoda povprašal zanj in dal mu je živež in dal mu je meč Filistejca Goljata.«

And he inquired of Jehovah for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.

11 Potem je kralj poslal, da pokliče duhovnika Ahiméleha, Ahitúbovega sina in vso hišo njegovega očeta, duhovnike, ki so bili v Nobu in vsi izmed njih so prišli h kralju.

Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nob; and they came all of them to the king.

12 Savel je rekel: »Poslušaj sedaj ti, Ahitúbov sin.« Ta je odgovoril: »Tukaj sem, moj gospod.«

And Saul said, Hear now, son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.

13 Savel mu je rekel: »Zakaj sta se zarotila zoper mene, ti in Jesejev sin, v tem, da si mu dal kruha in meč in si od Boga poizvedel zanj, da bi on vstal zoper mene, da preži v zasedi kakor na ta dan?«

And Saul said to him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me as a lier-in-wait, as at this day?

14 Potem je Ahiméleh odgovoril kralju in rekel: »Kdo je tako zvest med vsemi tvojimi služabniki kakor David, ki je kraljev zet in gre ob tvojem ukazu in je častitljiv v tvoji hiši?

And Ahimelech answered the king and said, And who is so faithful among all thy servants as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and has access to thy secret council, and is honourable in thy house?

15 Ali sem takrat začel poizvedovati od Boga zanj? To bodi daleč od mene. Naj kralj ne pripiše kakršnekoli stvari svojemu služabniku niti vsej hiši mojega očeta, kajti tvoj služabnik ni vedel nič od vsega tega, manj ali več.«

Was it to-day that I began to inquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king charge anything to his servant, [nor] to all the house of my father; for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.

16 Kralj je rekel: »Zagotovo boš umrl, Ahiméleh, ti in vsa hiša tvojega očeta.«

And the king said, Thou shalt certainly die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house.

17 Kralj je rekel pešcem, ki so stali okoli njega: »Obrnite se in ubijte Gospodove duhovnike, ker je tudi njihova roka z Davidom in ker so vedeli, ko je on pobegnil, pa mi tega niso pokazali.« Toda kraljevi služabniki niso hoteli iztegniti svoje roke, da pade na Gospodove duhovnike.

And the king said to the couriers that stood about him, Turn and put the priests of Jehovah to death; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not inform me. But the servants of the king were not willing to put forth their hand to fall on the priests of Jehovah.

18 Kralj je rekel Doégu: »Ti se obrni in padi nad duhovnike.« In Edómec Doég se je obrnil in padel nad duhovnike in jih na ta dan usmrtil petinosemdeset oseb, ki so nosili lanen efód.

And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall on the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and fell on the priests, and put to death that day eighty-five persons who wore the linen ephod.

19 Nob, mesto duhovnikov, je udaril z ostrino meča, tako moške kakor ženske, otroke in dojenčke, vole, osle in ovce, z ostrino meča.

And Nob, the city of the priests, he smote with the edge of the sword, both men and women, infants and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.

20 Eden izmed Ahimélehovih sinov, Ahitúbov sin, imenovan Abjatár, pa je ušel in pobegnil za Davidom.

And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.

21 Abjatár je pokazal Davidu, da je Savel umoril Gospodove duhovnike.

And Abiathar informed David that Saul had slain Jehovah's priests.

22 David je rekel Abjatárju: »Vedel sem to ta dan, ko je bil tam Edómec Doég, da bo zagotovo povedal Savlu. Povzročil sem smrt vseh oseb hiše tvojega očeta.

And David said to Abiathar, I knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would certainly tell Saul: I am accountable for all the lives of thy father's house.

23 Ostani z menoj, ne boj se, kajti kdor streže po mojem življenju, streže po tvojem življenju. Toda z menoj boš na varnem.«

Abide with me, fear not; for he that seeks my life seeks thy life; for with me thou art in safe keeping.
