1 Samuel 9
1 Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjamite, a mighty man of valor.
А беше један човек од племена Венијаминовог, коме име беше Кис, син Авила, сина Серора, сина Вехората, сина Афије, сина једног човека од племена Венијаминовог, храбар јунак.
2 He had a son, whose name was Saul, a handsome young man; and there was no one among the children of Israel more handsome than he was. From his shoulders and upward he was taller than any of the people.
Он имаше сина по имену Саула, који беше млад и леп да не беше лепшег од њега међу синовима Израиљевим, а главом беше виши од свега народа.
3 Now the donkeys of Kish, Saul's father, were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, "Take now one of the servants with you, and arise, go and look for the donkeys." So Saul got up and took one of the servants of his father with him and went to look for the donkeys of his father Kish.
А Кису, оцу Сауловом несташе магарице, па рече Кис Саулу сину свом: Узми са собом једног момка, па устани и иди те тражи магарице.
4 He passed through the hill country of Ephraim and passed through the land of Shalishah, but they did not find them. Then they passed through the land of Shaalim, but they weren't there. Then he passed through the land of the Jaminites, but they did not find them.
И он прође гору Јефремову, и прође земљу салиску; али не нађоше; па прођоше и земљу салимску, и не беше их; па прођоше и земљу Венијаминову, и не нађоше.
5 When they had come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, "Come, and let us return, lest my father stop caring about the donkeys, and be anxious for us."
А кад дођоше у земљу суфску, рече Саул момку свом који беше с њим: Хајде да се вратимо, да се не би отац оканио магарица и забринуо се за нас.
6 He said to him, "See now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is a man who is held in honor. All that he says surely comes to pass. Now let us go there. Perhaps he can tell us concerning our journey on which we have set out."
А он му рече: Ево, у овом граду има човек Божји, ког веома поштују; шта год каже све се збива; хајдемо к њему, може бити да ће нас упутити куда бисмо ишли.
7 Then Saul said to his servant, "But look, if we go, what shall we bring the man? For the bread is gone in our vessels, and there is no gift to bring to the man of God. What do we have?"
А Саул рече момку свом: Хајде да идемо; али шта ћемо однети човеку? Јер нам је хлеба нестало у торбама, а дар немамо да однесемо човеку Божијем. Шта имамо?
8 The servant answered Saul again, and said, "Look, I have in my hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver. I will give that to the man of God, to tell us our way."
А момак опет одговарајући рече Саулу: Ето у мене четврт сикла сребра; то да дам човеку Божијем да нас упути.
9 (In earlier times in Israel, whenever someone went to inquire of God, he would say, "Come, and let us go to the seer"; for he who is now called a prophet was formerly called a seer.)
А у старо време ко би ишао да пита Бога говораше: Хајде да идемо к видеоцу. Јер ко се сада зове пророк у старо се време зваше виделац.
10 Then Saul said to his servant, "Well said. Come, let us go." So they went to the city where the man of God was.
И Саул рече момку свом: Добро велиш; хајде да идемо. И пођоше у град где беше човек Божји.
11 As they went up the ascent to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said to them, "Is the seer here?"
И кад иђаху уз брдо градско, сретоше девојке које излажаху да захватају воду, па им рекоше: Је ли ту виделац?
12 They answered them, and said, "He is. Look, he is ahead of you. Hurry now, for he has come today into the city; for the people have a sacrifice today in the high place.
А оне одговарајући рекоше: Јесте, ето пред тобом; похитај, јер је данас дошао у град, јер данас народ има жртву на гори.
13 As soon as you have come into the city, you shall immediately find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat; for the people will not eat until he comes, because he blesses the sacrifice; afterward those who are invited eat. Now therefore go up; for at this time you shall find him."
Како уђете у град, наћи ћете га пре него пође на гору да једе; јер народ неће јести докле он не дође, јер он треба да благослови жртву, па онда ће званице јести; зато идите, јер ћете га сада наћи.
14 They went up to the city. As they came within the city, look, Samuel came out toward them, to go up to the high place.
И отидоше у град; а кад дођоше усред града, гле Самуило полазећи на гору срете их.
15 Now Jehovah had revealed to Samuel a day before Saul came, saying,
А Господ беше објавио Самуилу дан пре него дође Саул, рекавши:
16 "Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man out of the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over my people Israel; and he shall save my people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have seen the suffering of my people, because their cry has come to me."
Сутра у ово доба послаћу к теби једног човека из земље Венијаминове, њега помажи да буде вођ народу мом Израиљу, и он ће избавити мој народ из руку филистејских. Јер погледах на народ свој, јер вика његова дође до мене.
17 When Samuel saw Saul, Jehovah said to him, "Look, the man of whom I spoke to you. This one shall have authority over my people."
И кад Самуило угледа Саула, рече му Господ: Ето човека за ког ти рекох; тај ће владати мојим народом.
18 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, "Please tell me where the seer's house is."
И Саул приступи к Самуилу на вратима, и рече: Кажи ми, где је кућа видеочева?
19 And Samuel answered Saul, and said, "I am he. Go up before me to the high place, for you will eat with me today. In the morning I will let you go, and will tell you all that is in your heart.
А Самуило одговори Саулу и рече: Ја сам виделац. Хајде преда мном на гору, и данас ћете са мном јести; а сутра ћу те отпустити, и шта ти је год у срцу, казаћу ти.
20 As for your donkeys who were lost three days ago, do not set your mind on them; for they have been found. And for whom does all Israel desire? Is it not for you, and for all your father's house?"
А за магарице, којих ти је нестало пре три дана, не брини се; јер су се нашле. И чије ће бити све што је најбоље у Израиљу? Еда ли не твоје и свега дома оца твог?
21 Saul answered, "Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? And my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak to me like this?"
А Саул одговори и рече: Нисам ли од племена Венијаминовог, најмањег племена Израиљевог, и дом мој најмањи између свих домова племена Венијаминовог? Што ми дакле говориш тако?
22 Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the guest room, and made them sit in the best place among those who were invited, who were about thirty persons.
А Самуило узе Саула и његовог момка, и одведе их у собу, и посади их у зачеље међу званицама којих беше до тридесет људи.
23 And Samuel said to the cook, "Bring the portion which I gave you, of which I told you to set aside."
И Самуило рече кувару: Донеси део који ти дадох и за који ти рекох: Остави га код себе.
24 The cook picked up the leg, and that which was attached to it, and set it before Saul. And he said, "Look, here is what has been kept for you. Set it before you and eat, because it was kept especially for you until the right time; because I said, 'I have invited the people.'" So Saul ate with Samuel that day.
Тада донесе кувар плеће и шта беше на њему; а Самуило га метну пред Саула, и рече: Ево шта је остало, узми преда се, те једи, јер је сачувано пре за тебе, кад рекох: Позвао сам народ. Тако једе Саул са Самуилом онај дан.
25 When they had come down from the high place into the city, they prepared a bed for Saul on the roof,
Потом сиђоше с горе у град, и Самуило се разговара са Саулом на крову.
26 and he slept. And it happened about daybreak that Samuel called to Saul on the roof, saying, "Get up, that I may send you away." So Saul arose, and they went out, both of them, he and Samuel, outside.
А ујутру уранише, и кад свиташе, зовну Самуило Саула на кров, и рече му: Дигни се, да те отпустим. И кад се диже Саул, изиђоше обојица, он и Самуило.
27 As they were going down at the edge of the city, Samuel said to Saul, "Tell the servant that he should pass on before us and cross over. But you remain here awhile, that I may make known to you the word of God."
И кад дођоше на крај града, рече Самуило Саулу: Реци момку нека иде напред (и он прође напред), а ти стани мало да ти јавим реч Божију.
