1 Samuel 16

1 The Lord then saide vnto Samuel, Howe long wilt thou mourne for Saul, seeing I haue cast him away from reigning ouer Israel? fill thine horne with oyle and come, I will sende thee to Ishai the Bethlehemite: for I haue prouided mee a King among his sonnes.

A Gospod reèe Samuilu: dokle æeš ti plakati za Saulom kad ga ja odbacih da ne caruje više nad Izrailjem? Napuni rog svoj ulja, i hodi da te pošljem k Jeseju Vitlejemcu, jer izmeðu njegovijeh sinova izabrah sebi cara.

2 And Samuel sayde, Howe can I goe? for if Saul shall heare it, he will kill me. Then the Lord answered, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to doe sacrifice to the Lord.

A Samuilo reèe: kako da idem? jer æe èuti Saul, pa æe me ubiti. A Gospod odgovori: uzmi sa sobom junicu iz goveda, pa reci: doðoh da prinesem žrtvu Gospodu.

3 And call Ishai to the sacrifice, and I will shewe thee what thou shalt doe, and thou shalt anoynt vnto me him whom I name vnto thee.

I pozovi Jeseja na žrtvu, a ja æu ti pokazati šta æeš èiniti, i pomaži mi onoga koga ti kažem.

4 So Samuel did that the Lord bade him, and came to Beth-lehem, and the Elders of the towne were astonied at his comming, and sayd, Commest thou peaceablie?

I uèini Samuilo kako mu kaza Gospod, i doðe u Vitlejem; a starješine gradske uplašivši se istrèaše preda nj, i rekoše mu: jesi li došao dobro?

5 And he answeared, Yea: I am come to doe sacrifice vnto the Lord: sanctifie your selues, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Ishai and his sonnes, and called them to the sacrifice.

A on reèe: dobro; došao sam da prinesem žrtvu Gospodu; osveštajte se i hodite sa mnom na žrtvu. Pa osvešta i Jeseja i sinove njegove i pozva ih na žrtvu.

6 And when they were come, hee looked on Eliab, and saide, Surely the Lordes Anointed is before him.

I kad doðoše vidjevši Elijava reèe: jamaèno je pred Gospodom pomazanik njegov.

7 But the Lord said vnto Samuel, Looke not on his countenance, nor on the height of his stature, because I haue refused him: for God seeth not as man seeth: for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord beholdeth the heart.

Ali Gospod reèe Samuilu: ne gledaj na lice njegovo ni na visinu rasta njegova, jer sam ga odbacio; jer ne gledam na što èovjek gleda: èovjek gleda što je na oèima, a Gospod gleda na srce.

8 Then Ishai called Abinadab, and made him come before Samuel. And he saide, Neither hath the Lord chosen this.

I dozva Jesej Avinadava, i reèe mu da ide pred Samuila. A on reèe: ni toga nije izabrao Gospod.

9 Then Ishai made Shammah come. And he said, Neither yet hath the Lord chosen him.

Potom Jesej reèe Sami da ide. A on reèe: ni toga nije izabrao Gospod.

10 Againe Ishai made his seue sonnes to come before Samuel: and Samuel saide vnto Ishai, The Lord hath chosen none of these.

Tako reèe Jesej te proðoše sedam sinova njegovijeh pred Samuila; a Samuilo reèe Jeseju: nije Gospod izabrao tijeh.

11 Finally, Samuel said vnto Ishai, Are there no more children but these? And hee sayde, There remaineth yet a litle one behinde, that keepeth the sheepe. Then Samuel saide vnto Ishai, Sende and set him: for we will not sit downe, till he be come hither.

Potom reèe Samuilo Jeseju: jesu li ti to svi sinovi? A on reèe: ostao je još najmlaði; eno ga, pase ovce. Tada reèe Samuilo Jeseju: pošlji, te ga dovedi, jer neæemo sjedati za sto dokle on ne doðe.

12 And he sent, and brought him in: and he was ruddie, and of a good countenance, and comely visage. And the Lord saide, Arise, and anoynt him: for this is he.

I posla, te ga dovede. A bijaše smeð, lijepijeh oèiju i lijepa stasa. I Gospod reèe: ustani, pomaži ga, jer je to.

13 Then Samuel tooke the horne of oyle, and anoynted him in the middes of his brethren. And the Spirit of the Lord came vpon Dauid, from that day forwarde: then Samuel rose vp, and went to Ramah.

Tada Samuilo uze rog s uljem, i pomaza ga usred braæe njegove; i siðe duh Gospodnji na Davida i osta na njemu od toga dana. Potom usta Samuilo i otide u Ramu.

14 But the Spirite of the Lord departed from Saul, and an euill spirite sent of the Lord vexed him.

A duh Gospodnji otide od Saula, i uznemiravaše ga zao duh od Gospoda.

15 And Sauls seruants said vnto him, Beholde nowe, the euill spirite of God vexeth thee.

I rekoše Saulu sluge njegove: gle, sada te uznemiruje zli duh Božiji.

16 Let our Lord therefore command thy seruants, that are before thee, to seeke a man that is a cunning plaier vpon the harpe: that when the euil spirit of God commeth vpon thee, hee may play with his hand, and thou maiest be eased.

Neka gospodar naš zapovjedi slugama svojim koje stoje pred tobom, da potraže èovjeka koji zna udarati u gusle, pa kad te napadne zli duh Božji, neka udara rukom svojom, i odlakšaæe ti.

17 Saul then saide vnto his seruantes, Prouide me a man, I pray you, that can play well, and bring him to me.

I reèe Saul slugama svojim: potražite èovjeka koji zna dobro udarati u gusle, i dovedite mi ga.

18 Then answered one of his seruauntes, and sayde, Beholde, I haue seene a sonne of Ishai, a Bethlehemite, that can plaie, and is strong, valiant and a man of warre and wise in matters, and a comely person, and the Lord is with him.

A jedan izmeðu sluga njegovijeh odgovori i reèe: evo, ja znam sina Jeseja Vitlejemca, koji umije dobro udarati u gusle, i hrabar je junak i ubojnik, i pametan je i lijep, i Gospod je s njim.

19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers vnto Ishai, and said, Send me Dauid thy sonne which is with the sheepe.

I Saul posla ljude k Jeseju i poruèi: pošlji mi Davida sina svojega koji je kod ovaca.

20 And Ishai tooke an asse laden with breade and a flagon of wine and a kidde, and sent them by the hand of Dauid his sonne vnto Saul.

A Jesej uze magarca i hljeba i mješinu vina i jedno jare, i posla Saulu po Davidu sinu svojemu.

21 And Dauid came to Saul, and stoode before him: and he loued him verie well, and he was his armour bearer.

I David doðe k Saulu i izide preda nj, i omilje Saulu veoma, te ga postavi da mu nosi oružje.

22 And Saul sent to Ishai, saying, Let Dauid nowe remaine with me: for he hath found fauour in my sight.

Potom posla Saul k Jeseju i poruèi: neka David ostane kod mene, jer je našao milost preda mnom.

23 And so when the euil spirite of God came vpon Saul, Dauid tooke an harpe and plaied with his hande, and Saul was refreshed, and was eased: for the euill spirit departed from him.

I kad bi duh Božji napao Saula, David uzevši gusle udarao bi rukom svojom, te bi Saul odahnuo i bilo bi mu bolje, jer bi zli duh otišao od njega.
