1 Samuel 25

1 Samuel je umrl in vsi Izraelci so se zbrali skupaj, ga objokovali in ga pokopali v njegovi hiši v Rami. In David je vstal ter odšel dol k Paránski divjini.

And Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

2 Tam je bil mož v Maónu, katerega posesti so bile v Karmelu. Mož je bil zelo velik in imel je tri tisoč ovc in tisoč koz, in svoje ovce je strigel v Karmelu.

And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

3 Torej moževo ime je bilo Nabál in ime njegove žene Abigájila. Bila je ženska dobrega razumevanja in krasnega obličja, toda mož je bil skopušen in hudoben v svojih dejanjih. Bil je iz Kalébove hiše.

Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.

4 David je v divjini slišal, da je Nabál strigel svoje ovce.

And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep.

5 David je poslal ven deset mladeničev in David je mladeničem rekel: »Povzpnite se gor do Karmela in pojdite k Nabálu ter ga pozdravite v mojem imenu.

And David sent ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:

6 Tako boste rekli njemu, ki živi v uspevanju: ›Mir bodi tako tebi in mir bodi tvoji hiši in mir bodi vsemu, kar imaš.

and thus shall ye say to him that liveth [in prosperity], Peace be both unto thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast.

7 Sedaj sem slišal, da si imel strižce. Torej tvoji pastirji, ki so bili z nami, jih nismo poškodovali niti jim ni ničesar zmanjkalo, vse dokler so bili v Karmelu.

And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: thy shepherds have now been with us, and we did them no hurt, neither was there aught missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.

8 Vprašaj svoje mladeniče in ti bodo pokazali. Zato naj tvoji mladeniči najdejo naklonjenost v tvojih očeh, kajti prišli smo na dober dan. Daj, prosim te, karkoli pride k tvoji roki, svojim služabnikom in svojemu sinu Davidu.‹«

Ask thy young men, and they will tell thee: wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes; for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand, unto thy servants, and to thy son David.

9 Ko so Davidovi mladeniči prišli, so v Davidovem imenu govorili Nabálu glede na vse te besede in prenehali.

And when David’s young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.

10 Nabál je odgovoril Davidovim služabnikom in rekel: »Kdo je David? Kdo je Jesejev sin? Današnje dni je mnogo služabnikov, ki se odtrgajo, vsak mož od svojega gospodarja.

And Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master.

11 Mar naj torej vzamem svoj kruh, svojo vodo in svoje meso, ki sem ga zaklal za svoje strižce in ga dam možem, za katere ne vem, od kod so?«

Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men of whom I know not whence they be?

12 Tako so Davidovi mladeniči obrnili svojo pot in ponovno odšli in prišli ter mu povedali vse te besede.

So David’s young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him according to all these words.

13 David je svojim možem rekel: »Opašite vsak mož svoj meč.« Opasali so vsak mož svoj meč in tudi David je opasal svoj meč in tam se je dvignilo za Davidom okoli štiristo mož. Dvesto pa jih je ostalo pri stvareh.

And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff.

14 Toda eden izmed mladeničev je povedal Nabálovi ženi Abigájili, rekoč: »Glej, David je iz divjine poslal poslance, da pozdravijo našega gospodarja, on pa se jim je posmehoval.

But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he flew upon them.

15 Toda možje so bili zelo dobri do nas in nismo bili poškodovani niti nismo pogrešali nobene stvari, dokler smo bili seznanjeni z njimi, ko smo bili na poljih.

But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:

16 Bili so nam zid, tako podnevi kakor ponoči, ves čas smo bili z njimi, čuvajoč ovce.

they were a wall unto us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

17 Zdaj torej vedi in preudari, kaj boš storila, kajti zlo je določeno zoper našega gospodarja in zoper vso njegovo družino, kajti on je tak Beliálov sin, da človek ne more govoriti z njim.«

Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house: for he is such a son of Belial, that one cannot speak to him.

18 Potem se je Abigájila podvizala in vzela dvesto hlebov, dva vinska meha, pet pripravljenih ovc, pet mer opraženega žita, sto grozdov rozin in dvesto figovih kolačev in jih položila na osle.

Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.

19 Svojim služabnikom je rekla: »Pojdite naprej pred menoj. Glejte, jaz pridem za vami.« Toda svojemu soprogu Nabálu ni povedala.

And she said unto her young men, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.

20 To je bilo tako, medtem ko je jahala na oslu, da je prišla dol ob zavetju hriba in glej, David in njegovi možje so prihajali dol, nasproti njej in jih je srečala.

And it was so, as she rode on her ass, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them.

21 Torej David je rekel: »Zagotovo sem v divjini zaman varoval vse, kar je imel ta pajdaš, tako da ni zmanjkalo ničesar od vsega, kar je pripadalo njemu, on pa mi je povrnil zlo za dobro.

Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath returned me evil for good.

22 Tako in še več naj tudi Bog stori Davidovim sovražnikom, če do jutranje svetlobe pustim od vsega, kar pripada njemu, karkoli, kar lula proti zidu.«

God do so unto the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light so much as one man child.

23 Ko je Abigájila zagledala Davida, je pohitela in razbremenila osla in pred Davidom padla na svoj obraz in se priklonila do tal

And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off her ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.

24 in padla ob njegovih stopalih ter rekla: »Nad menoj, moj gospod, nad menoj naj bo ta krivičnost. Naj tvoja pomočnica, prosim te, govori v tvoji pozornosti in poslušaj besede svoje pomočnice.

And she fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me be the iniquity: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine ears, and hear thou the words of thine handmaid.

25 Naj se moj gospod, prosim te, ne ozira na tega Beliálovega moža, celó Nabála, kajti kakor je njegovo ime, takšen je on; Nabál je njegovo ime in bedaštvo je z njim, toda jaz, tvoja pomočnica, nisem videla mladeničev svojega gospoda, ki si jih poslal.

Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: hut I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.

26 Zdaj torej, moj gospod, kakor živi Gospod in kakor živi tvoja duša, glede na to, da te je Gospod zadržal pred tem, da bi prihajal prelit kri in pred tem, da bi se maščeval s svojo lastno roko, naj bodo torej tvoji sovražniki in tisti, ki iščejo zlo mojemu gospodu, kakor Nabál.

Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from bloodguiltiness, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now therefore let thine enemies, and them that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

27 Naj bo sedaj ta blagoslov, ki ga je tvoja pomočnica prinesla mojemu gospodu, dan mladeničem, ki sledijo mojemu gospodu.

And now this present which thy servant hath brought unto my lord, let it be given unto the young men that follow my lord.

28 Prosim te, odpusti prekršek svoje pomočnice, kajti Gospod bo zagotovo naredil mojemu gospodu zanesljivo hišo, ker moj gospod bojuje Gospodove bitke in vse tvoje dni zlo ni bilo najdeno v tebi.

Forgive, I pray thee, the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD; and evil shall not be found in thee all thy days.

29 Vendar se je vzdignil človek, da te preganja in da išče tvojo dušo, toda duša mojega gospoda bo zvezana v svežnju življenja z Gospodom, tvojim Bogom. Duše tvojih sovražnikov, njih bo zalučal ven kakor iz srede prače.

And though man be risen up to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as from the hollow of a sling.

30 In zgodilo se bo, ko bo Gospod storil mojemu gospodu glede na vse dobro, kar je govoril glede tebe in te določil vladarja nad Izraelom,

And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee prince over Israel;

31 da to ne bo žalost tebi niti prizadeto srce mojemu gospodu ali da si brez vzroka prelil kri ali da se je moj gospod sam maščeval, temveč ko bo Gospod dobro postopal z mojim gospodom, takrat se spomni svoje pomočnice.«

that this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: and when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid.

32 David je rekel Abigájili: »Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, Izraelov Bog, ki te je ta dan poslal, da me srečaš

And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me:

33 in blagoslovljen bodi tvoj nasvet in blagoslovljena bodi ti, ki si me ta dan zadržala pred prihajanjem, da prelijem kri in pred maščevanjem sebe s svojo lastno roko.

and blessed be thy wisdom, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from bloodguiltiness, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.

34 Kajti zagotovo, kakor Gospod, Izraelov Bog, živi, ki me je zadržal pred tem, da ti škodujem, razen če ne bi pohitela in prišla, da me srečaš, zagotovo ne bi do jutranje svetlobe Nabálu ostalo karkoli, kar lula proti zidu.«

For in very deed, as the LORD, the God of Israel, liveth, which hath withholden me from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light so much as one man child.

35 Tako je David iz njene roke prejel to, kar mu je prinesla in ji rekel: »Pojdi gor v miru k svoji hiši. Glej, prisluhnil sem tvojemu glasu in sprejel tvojo osebo.«

So David received of her hand that which she had brought him: and he said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.

36 Abigájila je prišla k Nabálu in glej, v svoji hiši je imel zabavo, kakor kraljevo zabavo. Nabálovo srce je bilo veselo znotraj njega, kajti bil je zelo pijan. Zato mu ni ničesar povedala, manj ali več, do jutranje svetlobe.

And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

37 Toda zjutraj se je pripetilo, ko je vino odšlo iz Nabála in mu je njegova žena povedala te stvari, da je njegovo srce znotraj njega umrlo in je postal kakor kamen.

And it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

38 Pripetilo se je okoli deset dni kasneje, da je Gospod udaril Nabála, da je umrl.

And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died.

39 Ko je David slišal, da je bil Nabál mrtev, je rekel: »Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, ki je zagovarjal zadevo moje graje pred Nabálovo roko in je svojega služabnika obvaroval pred zlom, kajti Gospod je Nabálovo zlobnost povrnil na njegovo lastno glavo.« In David je poslal in se posvetoval z Abigájilo, da si jo vzame k sebi za ženo.

And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept back his servant from evil: and the evil-doing of Nabal hath the LORD returned upon his own head. And David sent and spake concerning Abigail, to take her to him to wife.

40 Ko so Davidovi služabniki prišli k Abigájili v Karmel, so ji spregovorili, rekoč: »David nas je poslal k tebi, da te vzame k sebi za ženo.«

And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David hath sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife.

41 Vzdignila se je, se priklonila na svoj obraz k zemlji in rekla: »Glej, naj bo tvoja pomočnica služabnica, da umiva stopala služabnikov mojega gospoda.«

And she arose, and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, thine handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.

42 Abigájila je pohitela, vstala ter jahala na oslu s petimi svojimi gospodičnami, ki so šle za njo in odšla je za Davidovimi poslanci ter postala njegova žena.

And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

43 David je vzel tudi Ahinóam iz Jezreéla in obe izmed njiju sta bili njegovi ženi.

David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they became both of them his wives.

44 Toda Savel je dal svojo hčer Mihálo, Davidovo ženo, Paltíju, Lajiševemu sinu, ki je bil iz Galíma.

Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Palti the Son of Laish, which was of Gallim.
