1 Samuel 9
1 There was a wealthy and influential man from the tribe of Benjamin, whose name was Kish son of Abiel, son of Zeror, son of Bekorath, son of Aphiah, a descendant of Benjamin.
Torej tam je bil mož iz Benjamina, katerega ime je bilo Kiš, sin Abiéla, sinú Cerórja, sinú Behoráta, sinú Afíaha, Benjaminovec, mogočen človek moči.
2 Kish had a son called Saul, the most handsome young man in all of Israel. He was head and shoulders taller than anyone else.
Imel je sina, čigar ime je bilo Savel, izbranega in čednega mladeniča in med Izraelovimi otroki ni bilo čednejše osebe kakor on. Od njegovih ramen in navzgor je bil višji kakor katerikoli izmed ljudstva.
3 One time the donkeys of Saul's father Kish went astray. Kish told to his son Saul, “Please go and look for the donkeys. You can take one of the servants with you.”
Oslice Savlovega očeta Kiša so se izgubile. Kiš je rekel svojemu sinu Savlu: »Vzemi torej s seboj enega izmed služabnikov in vstani, pojdi iskat oslice.«
4 Saul searched the hill country of Ephraim and then the land of Shalishah, but didn't find the donkeys. He and the servant searched the region of Shaalim, but they weren't there. Then they searched the land of Benjamin, and they still couldn't find them.
Prečkal je goro Efrájim in šel skozi deželo Šalíša, toda nista jih našla. Potem sta šla skozi deželo Šaalím in tam jih ni bilo. Šel je skozi deželo Benjaminovcev, toda nista jih našla.
5 When they got to the land of Zuph, Saul told his servant, “Come on, let's go back, otherwise my father won't be worrying about the donkeys, but about us.”
In ko sta prišla do dežele Cuf, je Savel rekel svojemu služabniku, ki je bil z njim: »Pridi in se vrniva, da ne bi moj oče prenehal skrbeti za oslice in bi mislil na naju.«
6 But the servant replied, “Hold on! There's a man of God here in this town. He's very well thought of, and everything he says comes true. Let's go and see him. Maybe he can tell us which way we should take.”
Rekel mu je: »Glej torej, v tem mestu je Božji mož in ta je častitljiv mož. Vse, kar reče, se zagotovo zgodi. Pojdiva sedaj tja, morda nama on lahko pokaže pot, po kateri naj greva.«
7 “But if we do go, what can we give him?” Saul replied. “All the bread in our bags is gone. We don't have anything to take to the man of God. What do we have with us?”
Potem je Savel rekel svojemu služabniku: »Toda glej, če greva, kaj bova prinesla možu? Kajti kruh v najinih posodah je pošel in ni darila, da bi ga prinesla Božjemu možu. Kaj imava?«
8 “Look, I've got a quarter shekel of silver with me. I'll give it to the man of God so he can tell us the way we should take,” the servant told Saul.
Služabnik je ponovno odgovoril Savlu in rekel: »Glej, tukaj pri roki imam četrtinko šekla srebra. To bom dal Božjemu možu, da nama pove najino pot.«
9 (In the old days in Israel, someone who went to inquire of God would say, “Come on, let's go to the seer,” because prophets used to be known as seers.)
(Poprej je v Izraelu mož, ko je šel, da poizveduje od Boga, govoril tako: »Pridite in pojdimo k vidcu, « kajti kdor je sedaj imenovan prerok, je bil poprej imenovan videc.)
10 “That's good,” Saul told his servant. “So let's go.” They went to the town where the man of God was.
Potem je Savel rekel svojemu služabniku: »Dobro rečeno. Pridi, pojdiva.« Tako sta šla v mesto, kjer je bil Božji mož.
11 As they were going up the hill to the town, they met some young women coming out to draw water and asked them, “Is the seer here?”
In ko sta šla gor, po hribu do mesta, sta našla mladenke, ki so prihajale ven, da zajamejo vodo in rekla sta jim: »Je tukaj videc?«
12 “He is,” they replied, “up ahead of you. But you'll have to hurry. He's come to town today because the people are having a sacrifice at the high place.
Odgovorile so jima in rekle: »Je, glejta, pred vama je. Sedaj pohitita, kajti danes je prišel v mesto, kajti danes je klavna daritev ljudstva na visokem kraju.
13 When you enter the town you can find him before he goes up to eat at the high place. The people won't eat before he comes, because he has to bless the sacrifice. After that, those who've been invited will eat. If you leave now you'll catch him.”
Takoj ko prideta v mesto, ga bosta nemudoma našla, preden gre gor na visok kraj, da jé, kajti ljudstvo ne bo jedlo, dokler on ne pride, ker on blagoslovi klavno daritev in potem tisti, ki so povabljeni, jedo. Sedaj torej pojdita gor, kajti približno ta čas ga bosta našla.«
14 So they carried on their way up to the town. As they arrived there was Samuel going in the opposite direction. They met him on his way up to the high place.
Šla sta gor v mesto in ko sta prišla v mesto, glej, je Samuel prihajal ven proti njima, da bi šel gor na visok kraj.
15 The day before Saul arrived, the Lord had told Samuel,
Torej Gospod je Samuelu na uho povedal, dan poprej, preden je Savel prišel, rekoč:
16 “Around this time tomorrow I'm going to send you a man from the land of Benjamin. Anoint him as ruler over my people Israel, and he will rescue them from the Philistines. I have seen what's happening to my people and I have heard their cry for help.”
»Jutri okrog tega časa ti bom poslal moža iz Benjaminove dežele in ti ga boš mazilil, da bo poveljnik nad mojim ljudstvom Izraelom, da bo lahko rešil moje ljudstvo iz roke Filistejcev, kajti jaz sem pogledal na svoje ljudstvo, ker je njihov krik prišel k meni.«
17 When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him, “This is the man I told you about. He is the one who is going to rule my people.”
Ko je Samuel zagledal Savla, mu je Gospod rekel: »Glej mož, o katerem sem ti govoril! Ta isti bo kraljeval nad mojim ljudstvom.«
18 Saul went up to Samuel in the gateway and asked him, “Could you please tell me where the house of the seer is?”
Potem se je Savel približal k Samuelu v velikih vratih in rekel: »Povej mi, prosim te, kje je vidčeva hiša.«
19 “I am the seer,” Samuel told Saul. “Go up ahead of me and we will eat together. Then in the morning I will answer all your questions and then send you on your way.
Samuel je odgovoril Savlu in rekel: »Jaz sem videc. Pojdi gor pred menoj na visok kraj, kajti danes boš jedel z menoj, jutri pa te bom pustil oditi in povedal ti bom vse, kar je v tvojem srcu.
20 About the donkeys you lost three days ago—don't worry about them because they've been found. But now—doesn't the hope of all of Israel rest on you and your family line?”
Glede oslic, ki so bile izgubljene pred tremi dnevi, ne naravnaj svojih misli nanje, kajti najdene so. Na kom je vse hrepenenje Izraela? Ali ni na tebi in na vsej hiši tvojega očeta?«
21 “But I'm from the tribe of Benjamin, the smallest tribe in Israel, and my family is the least significant of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin!” Saul replied. “Why are you telling me this?”
Savel je odgovoril in rekel: » Ali nisem Benjaminovec, od najmanjšega izmed Izraelovih rodov? In moja družina najmanjša izmed vseh družin Benjaminovega rodu? Zakaj mi potem tako govoriš?«
22 Then Samuel brought Saul and his servant into the hall, and sat them at the head of the thirty people who'd been invited.
Samuel je vzel Savla in njegovega služabnika ter ju privedel v dvorano in ju primoral sesti na najvišje mesto med tistimi, ki so bili povabljeni, katerih je bilo približno trideset oseb.
23 Samuel told the cook, “Bring the special piece of meat I gave you and told you to keep to one side.”
Samuel je rekel kuharju: »Prinesi delež, ki sem ti ga dal, od katerega sem ti rekel: ›Postavi to poleg sebe.‹«
24 So the cook took the upper thigh of meat and what was with it and placed it before Saul. Then Samuel said, “See, this is what was kept to one side. It was reserved for you. Eat it, for it was kept for you for this particular time, right from when I said, ‘I have invited the people.’” So Saul ate with Samuel that day.
Kuhar je vzel pleče in tisto, kar je bilo na njem in to postavil pred Savla. Samuel je rekel: »Glej to, kar je preostalo! Postavi to predse in jej, kajti za ta čas je bilo prihranjeno zate, odkar sem rekel: ›Povabil sem ljudstvo.‹« Tako je Savel tisti dan jedel s Samuelom.
25 Once they had returned from the high place to the town, Samuel spoke with Saul on the roof of his house.
Ko sta prišla dol iz visokega kraja v mesto, se je Samuel s Savlom posvetoval na vrhu hiše.
26 At dawn the next day Samuel called out to Saul on the roof, “Get up! I need to send you on your way!” So Saul got up, and he went outside with Samuel.
Zgodaj so vstali in pripetilo se je ob svitanju dneva, da je Samuel poklical Savla na vrhu hiše, rekoč: »Vstani, da te lahko odpošljem.« Savel je vstal in odšla sta ven, oba izmed njiju, on in Samuel.
27 As they approached the edge of town, Samuel said to Saul, “Tell your servant to go on ahead of us. Once he's gone stay here for a while, because I have a message from God to give you.” So the servant went on ahead.
In ko sta se spuščala dol, do konca mesta, je Samuel rekel Savlu: »Zapovej služabniku, da gre naprej pred nama (in ta je šel naprej), toda ti malce postoj, da ti lahko pokažem besedo od Boga.«
