2 Samuel 1

1 Now it happened that, after Saul died, David returned from the slaughter of Amalek, and he remained for two days at Ziklag.

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

2 Then, on the third day, a man appeared, arriving from the camp of Saul, with his garments torn and dust sprinkled on his head. And when he came to David, he fell on his face, and he reverenced.

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.

3 And David said to him, “Where have you come from?” And he said to him, “I have fled from the camp of Israel.”

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

4 And David said to him: “What is the word that has happened? Reveal it to me.” And he said: “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people have fallen and died. Moreover, Saul and his son Jonathan have passed away.”

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.«

5 And David said to the youth who was reporting to him, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan have died?”

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

6 And the youth, who was reporting it to him, said: “I arrived by chance on mount Gilboa. And Saul was lying upon his spear. Then the chariots and horsemen drew near to him.

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.«

7 And turning behind his back and seeing me, he called to me. And when I had responded, “I am here,”

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

8 he said to me, “Who are you?” And I said to him, “I am an Amalekite.”

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

9 And he said to me: “Stand over me, and kill me. For anguish has taken hold of me, and still my whole life is in me.”

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.«

10 And standing over him, I killed him. For I knew that he was not able to live after the fall. And I took the diadem that was on his head, and the bracelet from his arm, and I have brought them here to you, my lord.”

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.

11 Then David, taking hold of his garments, tore them, with all the men who were with him.

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

12 And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, over Saul and over his son Jonathan, and over the people of the Lord and over the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.

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.

13 And David said to the youth who had reported it to him, “Where are you from?” And he responded, “I am the son of a man who is a new arrival from the Amalekites.”

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

14 And David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to put forth your hand, so that you would kill the Christ of the Lord?”

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

15 And calling one of his servants, David said, “Draw near and rush against him” And he struck him, and he died.

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

16 And David said to him: “Your blood is upon your own head. For your own mouth has spoken against you, saying: ‘I have killed the Christ of the Lord.’”

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

17 Then David mourned a lamentation over Saul and over his son Jonathan, in this way.

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

18 (And he instructed that they should teach the sons of Judah the bow, just as it is written in the Book of the Just.) And he said: “Consider, O Israel, on behalf of those who are dead, wounded upon your heights:

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

19 The illustrious of Israel have been killed upon your mountains. How could the valiant have fallen?

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

20 Do not choose to announce it in Gath, and do not announce it in the crossroads of Ashkelon. Otherwise, the daughters of the Philistines may rejoice; otherwise, the daughters of the uncircumcised may exult.

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

21 O mountains of Gilboa, let neither dew, nor rain fall over you, and may these not be the fields of the first-fruits. For in that place, the shield of the valiant was cast away, the shield of Saul, as if he had not been anointed with oil.

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.

22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the strong, the arrow of Jonathan never turned back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.

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

23 Saul and Jonathan, worthy to be loved, and stately in their life: even in death they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.

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.

24 O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you with scarlet finery, who offered ornaments of gold for your adornment.

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

25 How could the valiant have fallen in battle? How could Jonathan have been slain on the heights?

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

26 I grieve over you, my brother Jonathan: exceedingly stately, and worthy to be loved above the love of women. As a mother loves her only son, so also did I love you.

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

27 How could the robust have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished?”

Kako so mogočni padli in so uničena bojna orožja.«
