1 Samuel 16

1 And Jehovah saith unto Samuel, 'Till when art thou mourning for Saul, and I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thy horn with oil, and go, I send thee unto Jesse the Beth-Lehemite, for I have seen among his sons for Myself a king.

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 saith, 'How do I go? when Saul hath heard, then he hath slain me.' And Jehovah saith, 'A heifer of the herd thou dost take in thy hand, and hast said, To sacrifice to Jehovah I have come;

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 thou hast called for Jesse in the sacrifice, and I cause thee to know that which thou dost do, and thou hast anointed to Me him of whom I speak unto thee.'

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

4 And Samuel doth that which Jehovah hath spoken, and cometh in to Beth-Lehem, and the elders of the city tremble to meet him, and [one] saith, 'Is thy coming peace?'

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 saith, 'Peace; to sacrifice to Jehovah I have come, sanctify yourselves, and ye have come in with me to the sacrifice;' and he sanctifieth Jesse and his sons, and calleth 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 it cometh to pass, in their coming in, that he seeth Eliab, and saith, 'Surely, before Jehovah [is] His anointed.'

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

7 And Jehovah saith unto Samuel, 'Look not unto his appearance, and unto the height of his stature, for I have rejected him; for [it is] not as man seeth — for man looketh at the eyes, and Jehovah looketh at 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 And Jesse calleth unto Abinadab, and causeth him to pass by before Samuel; and he saith, 'Also on this Jehovah hath not fixed.'

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

9 And Jesse causeth Shammah to pass by, and he saith, 'Also on this Jehovah hath not fixed.'

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

10 And Jesse causeth seven of his sons to pass by before Samuel, and Samuel saith to Jesse, 'Jehovah hath not fixed on these.'

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

11 And Samuel saith unto Jesse, 'Are the young men finished?' and he saith, 'Yet hath been left the youngest; and lo, he delighteth himself among the flock;' and Samuel saith unto Jesse, 'Send and take him, for we do not turn round till his coming in 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 sendeth, and bringeth him in, and he [is] ruddy, with beauty of eyes, and of good appearance; and Jehovah saith, 'Rise, anoint 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 And Samuel taketh the horn of oil, and anointeth him in the midst of his brethren, and prosper over David doth the Spirit of Jehovah from that day and onwards; and Samuel riseth and goeth to Ramath.

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 And the Spirit of Jehovah turned aside from Saul, and a spirit of sadness from Jehovah terrified him;

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

15 and the servants of Saul say unto him, 'Lo, we pray thee, a spirit of sadness [from] God is terrifying thee;

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

16 let our lord command, we pray thee, thy servants before thee, they seek a skilful man, playing on a harp, and it hath come to pass, in the spirit of sadness [from] God being upon thee, that he hath played with his hand, and [it is] well with thee.'

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 And Saul saith unto his servants, 'Provide, I pray you, for me a man playing well — then ye have brought [him] in unto me.'

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

18 And one of the servants answereth and saith, 'Lo, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-Lehemite, skilful in playing, and a mighty virtuous man, and a man of battle, and intelligent in word, and a man of form, and Jehovah [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 And Saul sendeth messengers unto Jesse, and saith, 'Send unto me David thy son, who [is] with the flock.'

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

20 And Jesse taketh an ass, [with] bread, and a bottle of wine, and one kid of the goats, and sendeth by the hand of David his son unto Saul.

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

21 And David cometh in unto Saul, and standeth before him, and he loveth him greatly; and he is a bearer of his weapons.

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

22 And Saul sendeth unto Jesse, saying, 'Let David, I pray thee, stand before me, for he hath found grace in mine eyes.'

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

23 And it hath come to pass, in the spirit of [sadness from] God being on Saul, that David hath taken the harp, and played with his hand, and Saul hath refreshment and gladness, and the spirit of sadness hath turned aside from off 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.
