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.

David therefore departed there, and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and his father's house heard it, they went down there 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.

Everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented, gathered themselves to him; and he became 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.«

David went there to Mizpeh of Moab, and he said to the king of Moab, "Please let my father and my mother stay with you, until 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.

He brought them before the king of Moab; and they lived 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.

The prophet Gad said to David, "Do not stay in the stronghold. Depart, and go into the land of Judah." Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.

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),

Saul heard that David had been discovered, and the men who were with him. Now Saul was in Gibeah, sitting under the tamarisk tree at the high place, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about 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,

And he said to them, "Hear now, you Benjamites. Will the son of Jesse give everyone of you 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 who discloses to me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me, or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, 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 Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered 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.«

He inquired of God for him, gave him food, 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 son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests who 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.«

Saul said, "Hear now, you son of Ahitub." 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?«

Saul said to him, "Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie 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?

Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, "Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and a commander over your bodyguard, and honored in your 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.«

Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? Be it far from me. Do not let the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for your servant knows nothing of all this, less or more."

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

The king said, "You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you, and all your 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.

The king said to the guard who stood about him, "Turn, and kill the priests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and did not disclose it to me." But the servants of the king wouldn't put forth their hand to fall on the priests of the LORD.

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.

The king said to Doeg, "Turn and attack the priests." Doeg the Edomite turned, and he attacked the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five people who wore a 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.

He struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and nursing babies, and cattle and donkeys and sheep.

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

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.

Abiathar told David that Saul had slain the LORD'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.

Then David said to Abiathar, "I knew on that day that Doeg the Edomite would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for all the lives of your 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.«

Stay with me, do not be afraid; for he who seeks my life seeks your life. For with me you shall be in safeguard."
