< 1 Samuel 26 >

1 And the Ziphites came to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, [which is] before Jeshimon?
Zífovci so prišli k Savlu v Gíbeo, rekoč: »Ali se David ne skriva na hribu Hahíla, ki je pred Ješimonom?«
2 Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
Potem se je Savel dvignil in odšel dol k Zifski divjini in s seboj je imel tri tisoč izbranih mož iz Izraela, da Davida poiščejo v Zifski divjini.
3 And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which [is] before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
Savel je taboril na hribu Hahíla, ki je ob poti pred Ješimonom. Toda David je prebival v divjini in videl je, da je Savel prišel za njim v divjino.
4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul had come in very deed.
David je torej odposlal oglednike in razumel, da je Savel zagotovo prišel.
5 And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner, the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched around him.
David je vstal in prišel na kraj, kjer se je Savel utaboril in David je opazoval kraj, kjer sta se ulegla Savel in Abnêr, Nerov sin, poveljnik njegove vojske. Savel pa je ležal v okopu in ljudstvo je taborilo okoli njega.
6 Then answered David, and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.
Potem je David odgovoril in rekel Hetejcu Ahimélehu in Cerújinemu sinu Abišáju, Joábovemu bratu, rekoč: »Kdo bo odšel z menoj dol, k Savlu v tabor?« Abišáj je rekel: »Jaz bom odšel dol s teboj.«
7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night, and behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster: but Abner and the people lay about him.
Tako sta David in Abišáj prišla ponoči k ljudstvu in glej, Savel je speč ležal znotraj okopa in njegova sulica zapičena v tla pri njegovem vzglavniku, toda Abnêr in ljudstvo so ležali naokoli njega.
8 Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thy enemy into thy hand this day; now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear, even to the earth at once, and I will not [smite] him the second time.
Potem je Abišáj rekel Davidu: »Bog je ta dan izročil tvoje sovražnike v tvojo roko. Zdaj naj ga torej udarim, prosim te, s sulico celo k zemlji in ne bom ga udaril drugič.«
9 And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not; for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD'S anointed and be guiltless?
David je rekel Abišáju: »Ne uniči ga, kajti kdo lahko iztegne svojo roko zoper Gospodovega maziljenca in je brez krivde?«
10 David said furthermore, [As] the LORD liveth, the LORD will smite him; or his day will come to die; or he will descend into battle and perish.
David je nadalje rekel: » Kakor Gospod živi, Gospod ga bo udaril, ali bo prišel njegov dan, da umre, ali [pa] se bo spustil v bitko in umrl.
11 The LORD forbid that I should stretch forth my hand against the LORD'S anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that [is] at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go.
Gospod me obvaruj, da bi iztegnil svojo roko zoper Gospodovega maziljenca, toda, prosim te, vzemi sedaj sulico, ki je pri njegovem vzglavniku in vrč vode ter odidiva.«
12 So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster; and they departed, and no man saw [it], nor knew [it], neither awaked: for they [were] all asleep: because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen upon them.
Tako je David vzel sulico in vrč vode izpred Savlovega vzglavnika in spravila sta se proč in noben človek tega ni videl niti ni tega spoznal niti se zbudil, kajti vsi so zaspali, ker je nanje padlo globoko spanje od Gospoda.
13 Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of a hill afar off; a great space [being] between them:
Potem je David šel preko, na drugo stran in stal na vrhu oddaljenega hriba. Med njimi je bil velik prostor
14 And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who [art] thou [that] criest to the king?
in David je zaklical ljudstvu in Nerovemu sinu Abnêrju, rekoč: »Ne odgovarjaš, Abnêr?« Potem je Abnêr odgovoril in rekel: »Kdo si ti, ki kličeš h kralju?«
15 And David said to Abner, [Art] not thou a [valiant] man? and who [is] like to thee in Israel? why then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came in one of the people to destroy the king thy lord.
David je rekel Abnêrju: » Mar nisi ti hraber mož? In kdo je v Izraelu podoben tebi? Zakaj potem nisi varoval svojega gospoda kralja? Kajti tja je prišel nekdo izmed ljudstva, da uniči tvojega gospoda kralja.
16 This thing [is] not good that thou hast done. [As] the LORD liveth, [ye are] worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master the LORD'S anointed. And now see where the king's spear [is], and the cruse of water that [was] at his bolster.
Ta stvar, ki si jo storil, ni dobra. Kakor živi Gospod, vredni ste umreti, ker niste varovali svojega gospodarja, Gospodovega maziljenca. In sedaj poglej, kje je kraljeva sulica in vrč vode, ki je bil pri njegovem vzglavniku.«
17 And Saul knew David's voice, and said, [Is] this thy voice, my son David? and David said, [It is] my voice, my lord, O king.
Savel je prepoznal Davidov glas in rekel: » Ali je to tvoj glas, moj sin David?« David je rekel: » To je moj glas, moj gospod, oh kralj.«
18 And he said, Why doth my lord thus pursue his servant? for what have I done? or what evil [is] in my hand?
Rekel je: »Zakaj moj gospod tako zasleduje svojega služabnika? Kaj sem storil? Ali kakšno zlo je v moji roki?
19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD hath stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if [they are] the children of men, cursed [be] they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.
Zdaj te torej prosim, naj moj gospod kralj posluša besede svojega služabnika. Če te je Gospod razvnel zoper mene, naj sprejme daritev, toda če so to človeški otroci, naj bodo prekleti pred Gospodom, kajti danes so me pognali ven, pred ostajanjem v Gospodovi dediščini, rekoč: ›Pojdi, služi drugim bogovom.‹
20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD: for the king of Israel hath come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.
Zdaj naj torej moja kri ne pade na tla pred Gospodovim obrazom, kajti Izraelov kralj je prišel ven, da išče bolho, kakor ko nekdo lovi jerebico v gorah.«
21 Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thy eyes this day: behold I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.
Potem je Savel rekel: »Grešil sem. Vrni se, moj sin David, kajti ne bom ti več škodil, ker je bila ta dan moja duša dragocena v tvojih očeh. Glej igral sem bedaka in se silno motil.«
22 And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear! and let one of the young men come over and take it.
David je odgovoril in rekel: »Poglej kraljevo sulico! In naj nekdo izmed mladeničev pride čez ter jo vzame.
23 The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness: for the LORD delivered thee into [my] hand to-day, but I would not stretch forth my hand against the LORD'S anointed.
Gospod [naj] vsakemu možu povrne njegovo pravičnost in njegovo zvestobo, kajti Gospod te je ta dan izročil v mojo roko, toda svoje roke nisem hotel iztegniti zoper Gospodovega maziljenca.
24 And behold, as thy life was precious this day in my eyes, so let my life be precious in the eyes of the LORD, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.
Glej, kakor je bilo tvoje življenje ta dan zelo cenjeno v mojih očeh, tako naj bo moje življenje zelo cenjeno v Gospodovih očeh in naj me osvobodi iz vse stiske.«
25 Then Saul said to David, Blessed [be] thou, my son David: thou shalt both do great [things], and also shalt still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
Potem je Savel rekel Davidu: »Blagoslovljen bodi ti, moj sin David. Delal boš oboje, velike stvari in vendar boš tudi prevladal.« Tako je David odšel na svojo pot in Savel se je vrnil na svoj kraj.
