1 Samuel 23

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

David was told, "Look, 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 strike these Philistines?" Then Jehovah replied, "Go strike 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?«

David's men said to him, "Look, 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. Jehovah answered him, and said, "Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into your 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.

David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their livestock, and killed 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.

It happened, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David, that he went down with David to Keilah, having 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.«

Now it was told Saul that David had come to Keilah. So Saul said, "God has sold him into my hand, for he has shut himself in by entering into a town that has gates and bars."

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

Then 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.«

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

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 David said, "Jehovah, God of Israel, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks 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.«

And now, will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? Jehovah, God of Israel, tell your 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 David said, "Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?" Jehovah said, "They will deliver you 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 wherever they could go. And Saul was told that David had escaped Keilah; so he gave up the pursuit.

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.

David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but Jehovah did not deliver him 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.

Now David was afraid that Saul had come out to seek his life. And David was in the wilderness of Ziph at Horesh.

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

Jonathan, Saul's son, set out and came to David at Horesh and encouraged him in Jehovah.

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.«

He said to him, "Do not be afraid; for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you; and you shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you; and that also Saul my father knows."

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

They both made a covenant before Jehovah: and David stayed at Horesh, 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 the Ziphites came up to Saul to Gibeah, saying, "Doesn't David hide himself with us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hakilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?

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 your soul to come down. It will be our responsibility to deliver him up into the king's hand."

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

Saul said, "You are blessed by Jehovah; for you 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.

Please go investigate again, and look around and learn the place where his swift foot is, for I am told that he is very clever.

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 find out all the hiding places where he hides himself, and come back to me when you know for certain, and I will go with you. And it shall happen, if he is in the land, that I will search for him 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.

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 Jeshimon.

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.

Saul and his men went to seek him. When David was told, he went down to the rock, and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard that, he pursued 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 was hurrying to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men surrounded David and his men to take them.

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

But a messenger came to Saul, saying, "Hurry and come; for the Philistines have made a raid on 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 Rock of Divisions.

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

David went up from there, and lived in the strongholds of En Gedi.
