1 Samuelova 23

1 Tedy oznámili Davidovi, řkouce: Aj, Filistinští dobývají Cejly a loupí dvory.

And they told David, saying: Behold the Philistines fight against Ceila, and they rob the barns.

2 Protož tázal se David Hospodina, řka: Mám-li jíti a udeřiti na ty Filistinské? I odpověděl Hospodin Davidovi: Jdi a porazíš Filistinské, i Cejlu vysvobodíš.

Therefore David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the Lord said to David: Go, and thou shalt smite the Philistines, and shalt save Ceila.

3 Muži pak Davidovi řekli jemu: Aj, my zde v Judstvu bojíme se, čím více, když půjdeme k Cejle proti vojskům Filistinských.

And the men that were with David, said to him: Behold we are in fear here in Judea, how much more if we go to Ceila against the hands of the Philistines?

4 A tak opět David tázal se Hospodina. Jemuž odpověděl Hospodin a řekl: Vstana, vytáhni k Cejle, neboť dám Filistinské v ruce tvé.

Therefore David consulted the Lord again. And he answered and said to him: Arise, and go to Ceila: for I will deliver the Philistines into thy hand.

5 I táhl David a muži jeho k Cejle, a bojoval s Filistinskými, a zajal dobytky jejich. I porazil je ranou velikou, a tak vysvobodil David obyvatele Cejly.

David therefore, and his men, went to Ceila, and fought against the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and made a great slaughter of them: and David saved the inhabitants of Ceila.

6 Stalo se pak, že když utíkal Abiatar syn Achimelechův k Davidovi do Cejly, dostal se efod v ruce jeho.

Now at that time, when Abiathar the son of Achimelech fled to David to Ceila, he came down having an ephod with him.

7 Potom oznámeno bylo Saulovi, že přitáhl David do Cejly. I řekl Saul: Dalť ho Bůh v ruku mou, nebo zavřel se, všed do města hrazeného a zavřitého.

And it was told Saul that David was come to Ceila: and Saul said: The Lord hath delivered him into my hands, and he is shut up, being come into a city, that hath gates and bars.

8 I svolal Saul všecken lid k boji, aby táhl k Cejle, a oblehl Davida i muže jeho.

And Saul commanded all the people to go down to fight against Ceila, and to besiege David, and his men.

9 A zvěděv David, že Saul tajně ukládá o něm zle, řekl Abiatarovi knězi: Vezmi na se efod.

Now when David understood, that Saul secretly prepared evil against him, he said to Abiathar the priest: Bring hither the ephod.

10 I řekl David: Hospodine, Bože Izraelský, za jistou věc slyšel služebník tvůj, že strojí Saul přitáhnouti k Cejle, aby zkazil město pro mne.

And David said: O Lord God of Israel, thy servant hath heard a report, that Saul designeth to come to Ceila, to destroy the city for my sake:

11 Vydali-li by mne muži Cejly v ruce jeho? A přitáhl-li by Saul, jakž slyšel služebník tvůj? Hospodine, Bože Izraelský, oznam, prosím, služebníku svému. Odpověděl Hospodin: Přitáhl by.

Will the men of Ceila deliver me into his hands? and will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O Lord God of Israel, tell thy servant. And the Lord said: He will come down.

12 Řekl ještě David: Vydali-li by mne obyvatelé Cejly i muže mé v ruce Saulovy? Odpověděl Hospodin: Vydali by.

And David said: Will the men of Ceila deliver me, and my men, into the hands of Saul? And the Lord said: They will deliver thee up.

13 Vstav tedy David a muži jeho, téměř šest set mužů, vytáhli z Cejly a šli ustavičně, kamž jíti mohli. Saulovi pak povědíno, že ušel David z Cejly; i nechal tažení.

Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose, and departing from Ceila, wandered up and down uncertain where they should stay: and it was told Saul that David was fled from Ceila, and had escaped: wherefore he forbore to go out.

14 Byl pak David na poušti v místech bezpečných, a bydlil na hoře, na poušti Zif. A ačkoli hledal ho Saul po všecky ty dny, však nevydal ho Bůh v ruku jeho.

But David abode in the desert in strong holds, and he remained in a mountain of the desert of Ziph, in a woody hill. And Saul sought him always: but the Lord delivered him not into his hands.

15 Vida tedy David, že Saul vytáhl hledati bezživotí jeho, byl na poušti Zif v lese.

And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life. And David was in the desert of Ziph, in a wood.

16 Vstav pak Jonata syn Saulův, přišel k Davidovi do lesa, a posilnil ruky jeho v Bohu.

And Jonathan the son of Saul arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hands in God: and he said to him:

17 A řekl jemu: Neboj se, neboť nenalezne tebe ruka Saule otce mého, ale ty kralovati budeš nad Izraelem, a já budu druhý po tobě. Však i Saul otec můj zná to.

Fear not: for the hand of my father Saul shall not find thee, and thou shalt reign over Israel, and I shall be next to thee, yea, and my father knoweth this.

18 I učinili smlouvu oba před Hospodinem; a David zůstal v lese, Jonata pak navrátil se do domu svého.

And the two made a covenant before the Lord: and David abode in the wood: but Jonathan returned to his house.

19 Tedy přišli Zifejští k Saulovi do Gabaa, řkouce: Zdaliž David nepokrývá se u nás v horách, v lese, na pahrbku Hachile, kterýž jest na pravé straně pouště.

And the Ziphites went up to Saul in Gabaa, saying: Lo, doth not David lie hid with us in the strong holds of the wood, in mount Hachila, which is on the right hand of the desert.

20 Protož nyní podlé vší žádosti duše své, ó králi, přitáhni stěží, my se pak přičiníme, abychom jej vydali v ruce královy.

Now therefore come down, as thy soul hath desired to come down: and it shall be our business to deliver him into the king’s hands.

21 I řekl Saul: Požehnaní vy od Hospodina, že mne litujete.

And Saul said: Blessed be ye of the Lord, for you have pitied my case.

22 Jdětež medle, ujisťte se tím ještě lépe, přezvězte a shlédněte místo jeho, kam se obrátí, kdo ho tam viděl; nebo mi praveno, že divných chytrostí užívá.

Go therefore, I pray you, and use all diligence, and curiously inquire, and consider the place where his foot is, and who hath seen him there: for he thinketh of me, that I lie craftily in wait for him.

23 Vyšpehujtež tedy a vyzvězte všecky skrejše, v nichž se kryje, a navraťte se ke mně s věcí jistou, i potáhnu s vámi, a jestliže v zemi jest, hledati ho budu ve všech tisících Judských.

Consider and see all his lurking holes, wherein he is bid, and return to me with the certainty of the thing, that I may go with you. And if be should even go down into the earth to hide himself, I will search him out in all the thousands of Juda.

24 Kteřížto vstavše, navrátili se do Zif před Saulem; David pak a muži jeho byli na poušti Maon, na rovinách po pravé straně pouště.

And they arose and went to Ziph before Saul: and David and his men were in the desert of Maon, in the plain at the right hand of Jesimon.

25 Nebo jakž vytáhl Saul s lidem svým hledati ho, oznámeno bylo to Davidovi, kterýž sstoupil s skály a bydlil na poušti Maon. O čemž Saul uslyšav, honil Davida po poušti Maon.

Then Saul and his men went to seek him: and it was told David, and forthwith he went down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon: and when Saul had heard of it he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.

26 A tak Saul táhl s jedné strany hory, David pak a muži jeho po druhé straně hory. A pospíšil David, aby mohl utéci od tváři Saulovy; nebo Saul s lidem svým obkličovali Davida i muže jeho, aby je zjímali.

And Saul went on this side of the mountain: and David and his men were on the other side of the mountain: and David despaired of being able to escape from the face of Saul: and Saul and his men encompassed David and his men round about to take them.

27 V tom přišel posel k Saulovi, řka: Pospěš a přiď, nebo Filistinští vtrhli do země.

And a messenger came to Saul, saying: Make haste to come, for the Philistines have poured in themselves upon the land.

28 A protož navrátil se Saul od honění Davida, táhl proti Filistinským. Pročež nazvali to místo: Skála rozdělující.

Wherefore Saul returned, leaving the pursuit of David, and went to meet the Philistines. For this cause they called that place, the Rock of division.

29 Odšed pak David odtud, bydlil v místech bezpečných Engadi.

Then David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds of Engaddi.
