1 Samuel 9
1 There was nowe a man of Beniamin, mightie in power named Kish, the sonne of Abiel, the sonne of Zeror, the sonne of Bechorath, the sonne of Aphiah, the sonne of a man of Iemini.
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 And he had a sonne called Saul, a goodly yong man and a faire: so that among the children of Israel there was none goodlier then he: from the shoulders vpwarde he was hier then any of the people.
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 And the asses of Kish Sauls father were lost: therefore Kish said to Saul his sonne, Take nowe one of the seruants with thee, and arise, goe, and seeke the asses.
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 So he passed through mount Ephraim, and went through the lande of Shalishah, but they found them not. Then they went through the land of Shalim, and there they were not: he went also through ye land of Iemini, but they found the not.
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 came to the lande of Zuph, Saul saide vnto his seruant that was with him, Come and let vs returne, lest my father leaue the care of asses, and take thought for vs.
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 And he said vnto him, Behold nowe, in this citie is a man of God, and he is an honorable man: all that he saith commeth to passe: let vs nowe goe thither, if so be that he can shewe vs what way we may goe.
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 Then saide Saul to his seruant, Well then, let vs goe: but what shall we bring vnto the man? For the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is no present to bring to the man of God: what haue we?
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 And the seruant answered Saul againe, and said, Beholde, I haue founde about me the fourth part of a shekell of siluer: that will I giue the man of God, to tell vs our way.
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 (Beforetime in Israel when a man went to seeke an answere of God, thus he spake, Come, and let vs goe to the Seer: for he that is called nowe a Prophet, was in the olde time called a Seer)
(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 Then saide Saul to his seruant, Well saide, come, let vs goe: so they went into the citie 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 And as they were going vp the hie way to the citie, they found maydes that came out to draw water, and said vnto them, Is there here a Seer?
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 And they answered them, and said, Yea: loe, he is before you: make haste nowe, for he came this day to the citie: for there is an offering of the people this day in the hie 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 ye shall come into the citie, ye shall finde him straightway yet he come vp to the hie place to eate: for the people will not eate vntill he come, because he will blesse the sacrifice: and then eate they that be bidden to the feast: nowe therefore goe vp: for euen now shall ye find 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 Then they went vp into the citie, and when they were come into the middes of the citie, Samuel came out against them, to goe vp to the hie 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 But the Lord had reueiled to Samuel secretly (a day before Saul came) saying,
Torej Gospod je Samuelu na uho povedal, dan poprej, preden je Savel prišel, rekoč:
16 To morow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Beniamin: him shalt thou anoint to be gouernour ouer my people Israel, that he may saue my people out of the hands of the Philistims: for I haue looked vpon my people, and their crie is come vnto me.
»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 therefore sawe Saul, the Lord answered him, See, this is the man whom I spake to thee of, he shall 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 Then went Saul to Samuel in the middes of the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the Seers house is.
Potem se je Savel približal k Samuelu v velikih vratih in rekel: »Povej mi, prosim te, kje je vidčeva hiša.«
19 And Samuel answered Saul, and saide, I am the Seer: goe vp before me vnto the hie place: for ye shall eate with me to day. and to morowe I will let thee goe, and will tell thee all that is in thine heart.
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 And as for thine asses that were lost three dayes ago, care not for them: for they are founde. and on whom is set all the desire of Israel? is it not vpon thee and on all thy fathers house?
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 Saul answered, and said, Am not I the sonne of Iemini of the smallest tribe of Israel? and my familie is the least of all the families of the tribe of Beniamin. Wherefore then speakest thou so to me?
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 And Samuel tooke Saul and his seruant, and brought them into the chamber, and made them sit in the chiefest place among them that were bidden: which were about thirtie persons.
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 And Samuel saide vnto the cooke, Bring foorth the portion which I gaue thee, and whereof I said vnto thee, Keepe it with thee.
Samuel je rekel kuharju: »Prinesi delež, ki sem ti ga dal, od katerega sem ti rekel: ›Postavi to poleg sebe.‹«
24 And the cooke tooke vp the shoulder, and that which was vpon it, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, Beholde, that which is left, set it before thee and eate: for hitherto hath it bene kept for thee, saying, Also I haue called the people. So Saul did eate 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 And when they were come downe from the hie place into the citie, he communed with Saul vpon the top of the house.
Ko sta prišla dol iz visokega kraja v mesto, se je Samuel s Savlom posvetoval na vrhu hiše.
26 And when they arose early about ye spring of the day, Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Vp, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out, both he, and 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 And when they were come downe to the ende of the citie, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the seruant goe before vs, (and he went) but stand thou still nowe, that I may shewe thee the worde of God.
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.«
