1 Samuel 24
1 Pripetilo se je, ko se je Savel vrnil iz zasledovanja Filistejcev, da mu je bilo povedano, rekoč: »Glej, David je v divjini En Gedi.«
It happened, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, "Look, David is in the wilderness of En Gedi."
2 Potem je Savel vzel tri tisoč izbranih mož iz vsega Izraela in odšel, da poišče Davida in njegove ljudi na skalah divjih koz.
Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the rocks of the wild goats.
3 Ob poti je prišel k stajam za ovce, kjer je bila votlina in Savel je šel noter, da pokrije svoja stopala. David in njegovi možje pa so ostajali ob straneh votline.
He came to the sheep pens by the way, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were abiding in the innermost parts of the cave.
4 Davidovi možje so mu rekli: »Glej, dan, o katerem ti je rekel Gospod: ›Glej, tvojega sovražnika bom izročil v tvojo roko, da mu boš lahko storil, kakor se ti zdi dobro.‹« Potem je David vstal in na skrivnem odsekal krajec Savlovega svečanega oblačila.
The men of David said to him, "Look, the day of which the LORD said to you, 'Look, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.'" Then David arose, and cut off an edge of Saul's robe secretly.
5 Pripetilo se je potem, da ga je Davidovo srce udarilo, ker je odsekal krajec Savlovega oblačila.
It happened afterward, that David's heart struck him, because he had cut off an edge of Saul's robe.
6 Svojim možem je rekel: » Gospod ne daj, da bi storil tako stvar svojemu gospodarju, Gospodovemu maziljencu, da iztegnem svojo roko zoper njega, ker je maziljen od Gospoda.«
He said to his men, "The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the LORD's anointed, to put forth my hand against him, since he is the LORD's anointed."
7 Tako je David s temi besedami zadržal svoje služabnike in jim ni pustil, da vstanejo zoper Savla. Toda Savel je vstal iz votline in odšel na svojo pot.
So David persuaded his men with these words and did not allow them to rise up against Saul. Then Saul got up, and went down the road.
8 Potem je tudi David vstal in šel ven iz votline in zaklical za Savlom, rekoč: »Moj gospod kralj.« Ko je Savel pogledal za seboj, se je David sklonil s svojim obrazom k zemlji in se priklonil.
Afterward David also got up and left the cave, and called out after Saul, saying, "My lord the king." When Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the ground and did homage.
9 David je rekel Savlu: »Zakaj poslušaš besede ljudi, govoreč: ›Glej, David išče tvoje zlo?‹
David said to Saul, "Why do you listen to men's words, saying, 'Look, David seeks your harm?'
10 Glej, ta dan so tvoje oči videle, kako te je Gospod v votlini izročil v mojo roko. Nekateri so mi zaukazali, naj te usmrtim, toda moje oko ti je prizaneslo. Rekel sem: ›Ne bom iztegnil svoje roke zoper svojega gospoda, kajti on je Gospodov maziljenec.‹
Look, this day your eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered you today into my hand in the cave, but I refused to kill you, and my eye spared you; and I said, 'I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is the LORD's anointed.'
11 Poleg tega, moj oče, glej, da, poglej krajec svojega svečanega oblačila v moji roki, kajti v tem, da sem odsekal krajec tvojega svečanega oblačila in te nisem usmrtil, vedi in vidi, da v moji roki ni niti zla niti prestopka in nisem grešil zoper tebe, vendar ti loviš mojo dušo, da jo vzameš.
Now look, the skirt of your robe in my hand. When I cut off the skirt, and did not kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor disobedience in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, though you hunt for my life to take it.
12 Gospod sodi med menoj in teboj in Gospod naj me maščuje nad teboj, toda moja roka ne bo nad teboj.
May the LORD judge between me and you, and may the LORD avenge me of you; but my hand shall not be on you.
13 Kakor pravi pregovor starcev: ›Zlobnost izvira od zlobnih, ‹ toda moja roka ne bo nad teboj.
As the proverb of the ancients says, 'Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness;' but my hand shall not be on you.
14 Za kom je Izraelov kralj prišel ven? Za kom tečeš? Za mrtvim psom, za bolho.
Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom do you pursue? After a dead dog, or one flea?
15 Gospod naj bo torej sodnik in sodi med menoj in teboj in gleda in zagovarja mojo pravdo in me osvobodi iz tvoje roke.«
May the LORD therefore be judge and give sentence between me and you. May he see and plead my cause, and deliver me out of your hand."
16 Pripetilo se je, ko je David Savlu prenehal govoriti te besede, da je Savel rekel: » Ali je to tvoj glas, moj sin David?« Savel je povzdignil svoj glas in zajokal.
It came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
17 Davidu je rekel: »Pravičnejši si kakor jaz, kajti nagradil si mi dobro, medtem ko sem ti jaz nagradil zlo.
He said to David, "You are more righteous than I; for you have done good to me, whereas I have done evil to you.
18 Danes si pokazal, kako dobro si ravnal z menoj, ker ko me je Gospod izročil v tvojo roko, me nisi ubil.
And you have declared this day how you have dealt well with me, in that the LORD had delivered me up into your hand and you did not kill me.
19 Kajti če človek najde svojega sovražnika ali ga bo pustil sproščeno oditi? Zato [naj] te Gospod dobro nagradi za to, kar si mi ta dan storil.
For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away unharmed? Therefore may the LORD reward you good for that which you have done this day.
20 Sedaj glej, dobro vem, da boš zagotovo postal kralj in da bo Izraelovo kraljestvo utrjeno v tvoji roki.
Now, look, I know that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.
21 Prisezi mi torej sedaj pri Gospodu, da ne boš iztrebil mojega semena za menoj in da ne boš uničil mojega imena iz hiše mojega očeta.«
Swear now therefore to me by the LORD, that you will not cut off my descendants after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father's house."
22 David je prisegel Savlu. Savel je odšel domov, toda David in njegovi možje so se povzpeli na utrjen kraj.
David swore to Saul. Saul went home; but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
