2 Samuel 1

1 Pripetilo se je torej, po Savlovi smrti, ko se je David vrnil iz pokola Amalečanov in je David dva dni prebival v Ciklágu

After the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag,

2 in tretji dan se je zgodilo celo, da je, glej, mož prišel iz tabora od Savla s svojimi pretrganimi oblačili in zemlja je bila na njegovi glavi. In bilo je tako, ko je prišel k Davidu, da je padel k tlom in se globoko priklonil.

on the third day, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn and earth on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the earth and showed respect.

3 David mu je rekel: »Od kod prihajaš?« Rekel mu je: »Pobegnil sem iz tabora Izraelcev.«

David said to him, “Where do you come from?” He said to him, “I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.”

4 David mu je rekel: »Kako je šla zadeva? Prosim te, povej mi.« Odgovoril je: »Da je ljudstvo pobegnilo iz bitke in tudi številni izmed ljudstva so padli in so mrtvi in tudi Savel in njegov sin Jonatan sta mrtva.«

David said to him, “How did it go? Please tell me.” He answered, “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead. Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.”

5 David je rekel mladeniču, ki mu je povedal: »Kako veš, da sta Savel in njegov sin Jonatan mrtva?«

David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”

6 Mladenič, ki mu je povedal, je rekel: »Kakor sem se naključno znašel na gori Gilbói, glej, Savel se je naslanjal na svojo sulico in glej, bojni vozovi in konjeniki so tesno sledili za njim.«

The young man who told him said, “As I happened by chance on Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and the horsemen followed close behind him.

7 Ko je pogledal za seboj, me je videl in me poklical k sebi. Odgovoril sem: »Tukaj sem.«

When he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me. I answered, ‘Here I am.’

8 Rekel mi je: »Kdo si?« Odgovoril sem mu: »Amálečan sem.«

He said to me, ‘Who are you?’ I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’

9 Ponovno mi je rekel: »Stoj, prosim te, nad menoj in me ubij, kajti tesnoba je prišla nadme, ker je moje življenje še celo v meni.«

He said to me, ‘Please stand beside me, and kill me, for anguish has taken hold of me because my life lingers in me.’

10 Tako sem stopil k njemu in ga usmrtil, ker sem bil prepričan, da potem, ko je padel, ne bi mogel živeti in vzel sem krono, ki je bila na njegovi glavi ter zapestnico, ki je bila na njegovem laktu ter ju prinesel sèm k svojemu gospodu.

So I stood beside him and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. I took the crown that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.”

11 Potem je David prijel svoja oblačila in jih raztrgal in prav tako vsi možje, ki so bili z njim

Then David took hold on his clothes and tore them; and all the men who were with him did likewise.

12 in žalovali so, jokali in se do večera postili za Savlom in za njegovim sinom Jonatanom in za Gospodovim ljudstvom in za Izraelovo hišo, ker so padli pod mečem.

They mourned, wept, and fasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.

13 David je rekel mladeniču, ki mu je povedal: »Od kod si?« Odgovoril je: »Jaz sem sin tujca, Amálečana.«

David said to the young man who told him, “Where are you from?” He answered, “I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite.”

14 David mu je rekel: »Kako se nisi bal iztegniti svoje roke, da uničiš Gospodovega maziljenca?«

David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”

15 David je poklical enega izmed mladeničev ter rekel: »Približaj se in padi nanj.« In ta ga je udaril, da je umrl.

David called one of the young men and said, “Go near, and cut him down!” He struck him so that he died.

16 David mu je rekel: »Tvoja kri bodi na tvoji glavi, kajti tvoja usta so pričala zoper tebe, rekoč: ›Umoril sem Gospodovega maziljenca.‹«

David said to him, “Your blood be on your head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have slain the LORD’s anointed.’”

17 David je s tem žalovanjem žaloval nad Savlom in nad njegovim sinom Jonatanom.

David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son

18 (Prav tako je zaukazal, naj Judove otroke učijo uporabo loka. Glej, to je napisano v Jasherjevi knjigi.)

(and he commanded them to teach the children of Judah the song of the bow; behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):

19 »Izraelova lepota je umorjena na tvojih visokih krajih. Kako so padli mogočni!

“Your glory, Israel, was slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!

20 Ne povejte tega v Gatu, ne razglašajte tega na Aškelónskih ulicah, da se ne bi filistejske hčere veselile, da ne bi hčere neobrezancev slavile.

Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

21 Ve gore Gilbóe, naj tam ne bo nobene rose niti naj tam ne bo dežja nad vami niti nobenih polj za darovanja, kajti ščit mogočnega je podlo odvržen, Savlov ščit, kakor če ne bi bil maziljen z oljem.

You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain on you, and no fields of offerings; for there the shield of the mighty was defiled and cast away, the shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.

22 Od krvi pobitih, od maščobe mogočnih, se Jonatanov lok ni obrnil nazaj in Savlov meč se ni vrnil prazen.

From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, Jonathan’s bow didn’t turn back. Saul’s sword didn’t return empty.

23 Savel in Jonatan sta bila očarljiva in prijetna v svojih življenjih in v svoji smrti nista bila ločena. Hitrejša sta bila kakor orli, močnejša sta bila kakor levi.

Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives. In their death, they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles. They were stronger than lions.

24 Ve hčere izraelske, jokajte nad Savlom, ki vas je oblekel v škrlat, z drugimi nasladami, ki je na vaše obleke nadel ornamente iz zlata.

You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you delicately in scarlet, who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.

25 Kako so mogočni padli v sredi bitke! Oh Jonatan, umorjen si bil na svojih visokih krajih.

How the mighty have fallen in the middle of the battle! Jonathan was slain on your high places.

26 Žalosten sem zaradi tebe, moj brat Jonatan. Zelo prijeten si mi bil. Tvoja ljubezen do mene je bila čudovita, presegajoča ljubezen žensk.

I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was wonderful, surpassing the love of women.

27 Kako so mogočni padli in so uničena bojna orožja.«

How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished!”
