1 Samuel 23

1 Potem so povedali Davidu, rekoč: »Glej, Filistejci se bojujejo zoper Keílo in ropajo mlatišča.«

And they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing-floors.

2 Zato je David poizvedel od Gospoda, rekoč: »Ali naj grem in udarim te Filistejce?« Gospod je rekel Davidu: »Pojdi in udari Filistejce in reši Keílo.«

Therefore David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And Jehovah said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah.

3 Davidovi ljudje so mu rekli: »Glej, bojimo se tukaj v Judu. Koliko bolj potem, če pridemo v Keílo zoper vojske Filistejcev?«

And David’s men said unto him, Behold, we are afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?

4 Potem je David ponovno poizvedel od Gospoda. In Gospod mu je odgovoril ter rekel: »Vstani, pojdi dol v Keílo, kajti jaz bom Filistejce izročil v tvojo roko.«

Then David inquired of Jehovah yet again. And Jehovah answered him, and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thy hand.

5 Tako so David in njegovi ljudje odšli v Keílo in se borili s Filistejci in odvedli njihovo živino in jih udarili z velikim pokolom. Tako je David rešil prebivalce Keíle.

And David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and slew them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.

6 Pripetilo se je, ko je Ahimélehov sin Abjatár pobegnil k Davidu v Keílo, da je ta prišel dol z efódom v svoji roki.

And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand.

7 Savlu je bilo povedano to, da je David prišel v Keílo. Savel je rekel: »Bog ga je izročil v mojo roko, kajti z vstopom v mesto, ki ima velika vrata in zapahe, je zaprt noter.«

And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into my hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars.

8 Savel je vse ljudstvo sklical skupaj k vojni, da gredo dol v Keílo, da oblegajo Davida in njegove može.

And Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.

9 David pa je vedel, da je Savel zoper njega skrivno izvajal vragolijo in duhovniku Abjatárju je rekel: »Prinesi sèm efód.«

And David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod.

10 Potem je David rekel: »Oh Gospod, Izraelov Bog, tvoj služabnik je zagotovo slišal, da Savel išče, da bi prišel v Keílo, da zaradi mene uniči mesto.

Then said David, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, thy servant hath surely heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.

11 Ali me bodo možje iz Keíle izročili v njegovo roko? Ali bo Savel prišel dol, kakor je tvoj služabnik slišal? Oh Gospod, Izraelov Bog, rotim te, povej svojemu služabniku.« Gospod je rekel: »Prišel bo dol.«

Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O Jehovah, the God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And Jehovah said, He will come down.

12 Potem je David rekel: »Ali bodo možje iz Keíle izročili mene in moje ljudi v Savlovo roko?« Gospod je rekel: »Izročili te bodo.«

Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver up me and my men into the hand of Saul? And Jehovah said, They will deliver thee up.

13 Potem so David in njegovi možje, ki jih je bilo okoli šeststo, vstali in odrinili iz Keíle in odšli, kamor so lahko šli. To je bilo povedano Savlu, da je David pobegnil iz Keíle in ta je opustil, da gre naprej.

Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbare to go forth.

14 David je prebival v divjini, v oporiščih in ostal na gori, v divjini Zif. Savel ga je vsak dan iskal, toda Bog ga ni izročil v njegovo roko.

And David abode in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill-country in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.

15 David je videl, da je Savel prišel ven, da bi stregel po njegovem življenju in David je bil v Zifski divjini, v gozdu.

And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the wood.

16 Savlov sin Jonatan je vstal in odšel k Davidu v gozd in okrepil njegovo roko v Bogu.

And Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.

17 Rekel mu je: »Ne boj se, kajti roka mojega očeta Savla te ne bo našla. Ti boš kralj nad Izraelom in jaz bom poleg tebe in to tudi moj oče Savel ve.«

And he said unto him, Fear not; for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth.

18 Onadva sta sklenila zavezo pred Gospodom in David je ostal v gozdu, Jonatan pa je odšel k svoji hiši.

And they two made a covenant before Jehovah: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house.

19 Potem so prišli gor Zífovci k Savlu v Gíbeo, rekoč: »Ali se ne skriva David z nami v oporiščih v gozdu, na hribu Hahíla, ki je na jugu Ješimona?

Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself with us in the strongholds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the desert?

20 Zdaj torej, oh kralj, pridi dol glede na vso željo svoje duše, da prideš dol in naš del bo, da ga izročimo v kraljevo roko.«

Now therefore, O king, come down, according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him up into the king’s hand.

21 Savel je rekel: »Blagoslovljeni bodite od Gospoda, kajti do mene imate sočutje.

And Saul said, Blessed be ye of Jehovah; for ye have had compassion on me.

22 Pojdite, prosim vas, še pripravite in spoznajte in poglejte na njegov kraj, kjer je njegovo shajališče in kdo ga je videl tam, kajti povedano mi je, da postopa zelo premeteno.

Go, I pray you, make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his haunt is, [and] who hath seen him there; for it is told me that he dealeth very subtly.

23 Glejte torej in vzemite spoznanje o vseh skrivnih krajih, kjer se sam skriva in ponovno pridite k meni z gotovostjo in jaz bom šel z vami in zgodilo se bo, če bo v deželi, da ga bom poiskal med vsemi Judovimi tisočimi.«

See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking-places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me of a certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah.

24 Vstali so in pred Savlom odšli v Zif, toda David in njegovi ljudje so bili v Maónski divjini, na ravnini, južno od Ješimona.

And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of the desert.

25 Tudi Savel in njegovi ljudje so odšli, da ga iščejo. Davidu so povedali, zato je prišel dol v skalo in ostal v Maónski divjini. Ko je Savel to slišal, je zasledoval Davida v Maónski divjini.

And Saul and his men went to seek him. And they told David: wherefore he came down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard [that], he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.

26 Savel je šel po tej strani gore, David in njegovi ljudje pa po oni strani gore. David se je podvizal, da odide zaradi strahu pred Savlom, kajti Savel in njegovi ljudje so obkolili Davida in njegove može okrog in okrog, da jih zgrabijo.

And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about to take them.

27 Toda k Savlu je prišel poslanec, rekoč: »Pohiti in pridi, kajti Filistejci so vdrli v deželo.«

But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have made a raid upon the land.

28 Zato se je Savel vrnil od zasledovanja za Davidom in odšel zoper Filistejce. Zato so ta kraj imenovali Sela-hamah-lekot.

So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Sela-hammahlekoth.

29 David se je dvignil od tam in prebival v oporiščih pri En Gediju.

And David went up from thence, and dwelt in the strongholds of En-gedi.
