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.

Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together and mourned for him, and buried him at his house at Ramah. Then 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.

There was a man in Maon whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great. 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. This woman was intelligent and had a beautiful face; but the man was surly and evil in his doings. He was of the house of Caleb.

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

David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing 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.

David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, “Go 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.

Tell him, ‘Long life to you! Peace be to you! Peace be to your house! Peace be to all that you have!

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.

Now I have heard that you have shearers. Your shepherds have now been with us, and we didn’t harm them. Nothing was missing from them all the time 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 your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let the young men find favor in your eyes, for we come on a good day. Please give whatever comes to your hand to your servants and to your son David.’”

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

When David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal all those words in the name of David, and waited.

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.

Nabal answered David’s servants and said, “Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants who break away from their masters these days.

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, my water, and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who I don’t know where they come from?”

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 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.

David said to his men, “Every man put on his sword!” Every man put on his sword. David also put on his sword. About four hundred men followed David, and two hundred stayed by the baggage.

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 greet our master; and he insulted 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 to us, and we were not harmed, and we didn’t miss anything as long as we went 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 to 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 you will do; for evil is determined against our master and against all his house, for he is such a worthless fellow that one can’t 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 hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two containers of wine, five sheep ready dressed, five seahs of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.

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

She said to her young men, “Go on before me. Behold, I am coming after you.” But she didn’t tell 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.

As she rode on her donkey, and came down hidden by the mountain, behold, David and his men came down toward 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 I have kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him. He has 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 to the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that belongs to him by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall.”

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

When Abigail saw David, she hurried and got off her donkey, 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.

She fell at his feet and said, “On me, my lord, on me be the blame! Please let your servant speak in your ears. Hear the words of your servant.

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.

Please don’t let my lord pay attention to this worthless fellow, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I, your servant, didn’t see my lord’s young men whom you sent.

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 Yahweh lives and as your soul lives, since Yahweh has withheld you from blood guiltiness and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies and those who 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.

Now this present which your servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who 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.

Please forgive the trespass of your servant. For Yahweh will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights Yahweh’s battles. Evil will not be found in you all your 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.

Though men may rise up to pursue you and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord will be bound in the bundle of life with Yahweh your God. He will sling out the souls of your enemies as from a sling’s pocket.

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,

It will come to pass, when Yahweh has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you 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 to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. When Yahweh has dealt well with my lord, then remember your servant.”

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

David said to Abigail, “Blessed is Yahweh, the God of Israel, who sent you today 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.

Blessed is your discretion, and blessed are you, who have kept me today from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my 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 indeed, as Yahweh the God of Israel lives, who has withheld me from harming you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there wouldn’t have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall.”

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 from her hand that which she had brought him. Then he said to her, “Go up in peace to your house. Behold, I have listened to your voice and have granted your request.”

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.

Abigail came to Nabal; and behold, he held a feast in his house like the feast of a king. Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. Therefore she told him nothing 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.

In the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, 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.

About ten days later, Yahweh struck Nabal, so 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.

When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed is Yahweh, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil. Yahweh has returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head.” David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to himself as 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.«

When David’s servants had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, “David has sent us to you, to take you to him as 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.«

She arose and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, “Behold, your servant 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.

Abigail hurriedly arose and rode on a donkey with her five maids who 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 both became 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, who was of Gallim.
