1 Samuel 30

1 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the South, and upon Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;

Pripetilo se je, ko so David in njegovi možje na tretji dan prišli v Ciklág, da so Amalečani napadli jug in Ciklág in udarili Ciklág ter ga požgali z ognjem

2 and had taken captive the women and all that were therein, both small and great; they slew not any, but carried them off, and went their way.

in ženske, ki so bile v njem, so zajeli [kot] ujetnice. Nobene niso usmrtili niti velike niti male, temveč so jih odvedli proč in odšli na svojo pot.

3 And when David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.

Tako so David in njegovi možje prišli k mestu in glej, to je bilo požgano z ognjem. Njihove žene, njihovi sinovi in njihove hčere pa so bili zajeti [kot] ujetniki.

4 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.

Potem so David in ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, povzdignili svoje glasove in jokali, dokler niso imeli več moči za jokanje.

5 And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

In dve Davidovi ženi sta bili zajeti [kot] ujetnici, Jezreélka Ahinóam in Abigájila, žena Karmelčana Nabála.

6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.

David je bil silno zaskrbljen, kajti ljudstvo je govorilo o njegovem kamnanju, ker so bile duše vseh ljudi užaloščene, vsak mož zaradi svojih sinov in zaradi svojih hčera, toda David se je ohrabril v Gospodu, svojem Bogu.

7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech: 'I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod.' And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.

David je duhovniku Abjatárju rekel: »Ahimélehov sin, prosim te, prinesi mi sèm efód.« In Abjatár je tja, k Davidu, prinesel efód.

8 And David inquired of the LORD, saying: 'Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them?' And He answered him: 'Pursue; for thou shalt surely overtake them, and shalt without fail recover all.'

David je poizvedel pri Gospodu, rekoč: »Ali naj sledim za tem krdelom? Ali jih bom dohitel?« Odgovoril mu je: »Zasleduj, kajti zagotovo jih boš dohitel in čisto gotovo vse povrnil.«

9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.

Tako je David odšel, on in šeststo mož, ki so bili z njim in prišli so k potoku Besór, kjer so ostali tisti, ki so ostali zadaj.

10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.

Toda David je zasledoval, on in štiristo mož, kajti dvesto jih je ostalo zadaj, ki so bili tako slabotni, da niso mogli prečkati potoka Besór.

11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they gave him water to drink;

Na polju so našli Egipčana, ga privedli k Davidu, mu dali kruha in je jedel in primorali so ga piti vodo.

12 and they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins; and when he had eaten, his spirit came back to him; for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.

Dali so mu košček figove kepe in dva grozda rozin. Ko je pojedel, je njegov duh ponovno prišel k njemu, kajti tri dni in tri noči ni jedel nobenega kruha niti ni pil nobene vode.

13 And David said unto him: 'To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou?' And he said: 'I am a young Egyptian, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.

David mu je rekel: »Komu pripadaš? In od kod si?« Rekel je: »Jaz sem mladenič iz Egipta, služabnik Amálečana in moj gospodar me je pustil, ker sem se pred tremi dnevi počutil bolnega.

14 We made a raid upon the South of the Cherethites, and upon that which belongeth to Judah, and upon the South of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.'

Naredili smo invazijo nad jug Keretéjcev in nad območja, ki pripadajo Judu in nad jug Kaléba in Ciklág smo požgali z ognjem.«

15 And David said to him: 'Wilt thou bring me down to this troop?' And he said: 'Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this troop.'

David mu je rekel: »Ali me lahko privedeš dol k tej skupini?« Rekel je: »Prisezi mi pri Bogu, da me ne boš niti ubil niti me ne boš izročil rokam mojega gospodarja in jaz te bom odvedel dol k tej skupini.«

16 And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the ground, eating and drinking, and feasting, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.

Ko ga je privedel dol, glej, bili so razširjeni nad vso zemljo, jedli, pili in plesali zaradi velikega plena, ki so ga vzeli iz filistejske dežele in iz Judove dežele.

17 And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day; and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels and fled.

David jih je udarjal od večerne polteme do naslednjega dne in niti mož izmed njih ni pobegnil razen štiristo mladeničev, ki so jahali na kamelah in pobegnili.

18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives.

David je povrnil vse, kar so Amalečani odvedli proč in David je rešil svoji dve ženi.

19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them; David brought back all.

Ničesar jim ni manjkalo, niti malega, niti velikega, niti sinov, niti hčera, niti plena, niti nobene stvari, ki so jim jih vzeli. Vse je David povrnil.

20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other cattle, and said: 'This is David's spoil.'

David je vzel vse trope in črede, ki so jih gnali pred tisto drugo živino in rekli so: »To je Davidov plen.«

21 And David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to abide at the brook Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him; and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.

David je prišel k dvestotim možem, ki so bili tako slabotni, da niso mogli slediti Davidu, ki so jih primorali, da ostanejo pri potoku Besórju in odšli so naprej, da srečajo Davida in da srečajo ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim in ko se je David približal ljudstvu, jih je pozdravil.

22 Then answered all the wicked men and base fellows, of those that went with David, and said: 'Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.'

Potem so odgovorili vsi zlobneži in Beliálovi možje izmed tistih, ki so odšli z Davidom in rekli: »Ker niso odšli z nami, jim ne bomo dali od plena, ki smo ga povrnili, razen vsakemu možu svojo ženo in svoje otroke, da jih bodo lahko odvedli proč in odšli.«

23 Then said David: 'Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given unto us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.

Potem je David rekel: »Ne boste tako storili, moji bratje, s tem, kar nam je Gospod dal, ki nas je zaščitil in v naše roke izročil skupino, ki je prišla zoper nas.

24 And who will hearken unto you in this matter? for as is the share of him that goeth down to the battle, so shall be the share of him that tarrieth by the baggage; they shall share alike.'

Kajti kdo vam bo prisluhnil v tej zadevi? Temveč kakor je njegov del tistemu, ki gre dol v bitko, tako bo njegov del tistemu, ki ostane pri stvareh. Enako si bosta razdelila.«

25 And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.

In tako je bilo od tega dne naprej, da je to naredil [za] zakon in odredbo za Izraela do tega dne.

26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying: 'Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD';

Ko je David prišel v Ciklág, je od plena poslal Judovim starešinam, torej svojim prijateljem, rekoč: »Glejte darilo za vas od plena Gospodovih sovražnikov;

27 to them that were in Beth-el, and to them that were in Ramoth of the South, and to them that were in Jattir;

tistim, ki so bili v Betelu in tistim, ki so bili v južnem Ramátu in tistim, ki so bili v Jatírju

28 and to them that were in Aroer, and to them that were in Siphmoth, and to them that were in Eshtemoa;

in tistim, ki so bili v Aroêrju in tistim, ki so bili v Sifmótu in tistim, ki so bili v Eštemói

29 and to them that were in Racal, and to them that were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them that were in the cities of the Kenites;

in tistim, ki so bili v Rahálu in tistim, ki so bili v mestih Jerahmeélovcev in tistim, ki so bili v mestih Kenéjcev

30 and to them that were in Hormah, and to them that were in Bor-ashan, and to them that were in Athach;

in tistim, ki so bili v Hormi in tistim, ki so bili v Bor Ašánu in tistim, ki so bili v Atáhu

31 and to them that were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.

in tistim, ki so bili v Hebrónu in k vsem krajem, kjer so se bili sam David in njegovi možje vajeni preganjati.«
