< 1 Samuelova 30 >

1 I treæi dan doðe David sa svojim ljudima u Siklag, a Amalici bijahu udarili na južnu stranu i na Siklag, i razvalili Siklag i ognjem ga spalili.
Three days later, when David and his men arrived at Ziklag, [they discovered that] men of the Amalek people-group had raided Ziklag and [towns in] the southern part of Judah. They had destroyed Ziklag and burned down all the buildings.
2 I bjehu zarobili ženskinje koje bješe ondje, i malo i veliko; ali ne bjehu ubili nikoga, nego ih bjehu odveli i otišli svojim putem.
They had captured the women [and the children] and everyone else, and had taken them away. But they had not killed anyone.
3 I kad David doðe sa svojim ljudima u grad, a to grad spaljen ognjem, i žene njihove i sinovi i kæeri njihove zarobljene.
When David and his men came to Ziklag, they saw that the town had been burned, and that their wives and sons and daughters had been captured and taken away.
4 I podiže David i narod koji bijaše s njim glas svoj, i plakaše dokle veæ ne mogoše plakati.
David and his men cried loudly, until [they were so weak that] they could not cry [any more].
5 I obje žene Davidove zarobiše se, Ahinoama iz Jezraela i Avigeja iz Karmila žena Navalova.
David’s two wives, Ahinoam and Abigail, had also been taken away.
6 I David bješe na muci velikoj, jer narod govoraše da ga zaspu kamenjem; jer žalostan bješe sav narod, svaki za sinovima svojim i za kæerima svojim; ali se David ohrabri u Gospodu Bogu svojem.
David’s men were threatening to [kill him by] throwing stones at him, because they were very angry because their sons and daughters [had been taken away]. David was very distressed, but Yahweh his God gave him strength.
7 I reèe David Avijataru svešteniku sinu Ahimelehovu: uzmi opleæak za me. I uze Avijatar opleæak za Davida.
David [did not know what to do, so he] said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring to me the sacred vest.” So Abiathar brought it,
8 I upita David Gospoda govoreæi: hoæu li potjerati tu èetu? hoæu li je stignuti? A Gospod mu reèe: potjeraj, jer æeš zacijelo stignuti i izbaviæeš.
and David asked Yahweh, “Should I [and my men] pursue the men [who took our families]? Will we [be able to] catch up to them?” Yahweh answered [by means of the stones in Abiathar’s sacred pouch], “Yes, pursue them. You will catch up to them, and you will be able to rescue [your families].”
9 I poðe David sa šest stotina ljudi što bijahu s njim, i doðoše do potoka Vosora; i ondje ostaše jedni.
So David and the 600 men who were with him left, and they came to the Besor Ravine. Some of his men stayed there [with some of their supplies].
10 A David sa èetiri stotine ljudi potjera dalje, a dvjesta ljudi osta, koji sustaše te ne mogoše prijeæi preko potoka Vosora.
David and 400 men continued to pursue [the men who captured their families]. The other 200 men stayed there at the ravine, because they were so exhausted that they could not cross the ravine.
11 I naðoše jednoga Misirca u polju, i dovedoše ga k Davidu, i dadoše mu hljeba da jede i vode da pije,
[As David and the 400 men were going], they saw a man from Egypt in a field; so they took him to David. They gave the man some water to drink and some food to eat.
12 I dadoše mu grudu smokava i dva grozda suha. I pojedavši oporavi se, jer tri dana i tri noæi ne bješe ništa jeo niti vode pio.
They also gave him a piece of fig cake and two clusters/packs of raisins. The man had not had anything to eat or drink for three days and nights, but [after he ate and drank] he felt refreshed.
13 Tada mu reèe David: èiji si ti? i odakle si? A on reèe: ja sam rodom Misirac, sluga jednoga Amalika, a gospodar me ostavi, jer se razboljeh prije tri dana.
David asked him, “Who is your master? And where do you come from?” He replied, “I am from Egypt. I am a slave of a man from the Amalek people-group. Three days ago my master left me here, because I was sick [and I was not able to go with them].
14 Udarismo na južnu stranu Heretejsku i na Judinu i na južnu stranu Halevovu, i Siklag spalismo ognjem.
We had raided the southern part of Judah where the Kereth people-group live, and some other towns in Judah, and the area south [of Hebron city] where the descendants of Caleb live. We also burned Ziklag [town].”
15 A David mu reèe: bi li me mogao odvesti k toj èeti? A on reèe: zakuni mi se Bogom da me neæeš pogubiti ni izdati u ruke mojemu gospodaru, pa æu te odvesti k toj èeti.
David asked him, “Can you lead us to this group of raiders?” He replied, “Yes, [I will do that] if you ask God to listen while you promise that you will not kill me or give me back to my master. If you promise that, I will take you to them.”
16 I odvede ga; i gle, oni se bijahu raširili po svoj zemlji onoj jeduæi i pijuæi i veseleæi se velikim plijenom koji zaplijeniše iz zemlje Filistejske i iz zemlje Judine.
[David agreed to do that, ] so the man from Egypt led David [and his men] to where the men from the Amalek people-group were. Those men were lying on the ground, eating and drinking and celebrating because of having captured many things from the Philistia and Judah areas.
17 I David ih bi od veèera do veèera drugoga dana, te niko ne uteèe, osim èetiri stotine mladiæa, koji sjedavši na kamile pobjegoše.
David [and his men] fought against them from sunset that day until the evening of the following day. Four hundred of them escaped and rode away on camels, but none of the others escaped.
18 I tako izbavi David sve što bijahu uzeli Amalici, i obje žene svoje izbavi David.
David rescued his two wives, and he and his men got back everything else that the men of the Amalek people-group had taken.
19 I ništa ne izgubiše, ni malo ni veliko, ni sinove ni kæeri, ni što od plijena i od svega što im bijahu uzeli; sve povrati David.
Nothing was missing. They took all their people back [to Ziklag]—young people and old people, [their wives], their sons and their daughters. They also recovered all the other things that the men of the Amalek people-group had taken from Ziklag.
20 Takoðer uze David i ostale sve ovce i volove, koje goneæi pred svojom stokom govorahu: ovo je plijen Davidov.
They took with them the sheep and cattle that had been captured, and his men caused those animals to go in front of them, saying, “These are animals that we captured in the battle; they belong to David!”
21 I kad se vrati David k onijem dvjesta ljudi koji bjehu sustali te ne mogoše iæi za Davidom, i koje ostavi na potoku Vosoru, izidoše na susret Davidu i narodu koji bijaše s njim. I David pristupivši k narodu pozdravi ih.
David and his men got back to where the other 200 men were waiting, the men who did not go with David because they were very exhausted. They had stayed at Besor Ravine. [When they saw David and his men coming], they went out to greet them. And David [greeted them and] said to them, “I hope that things are going well with you!”
22 Tada progovoriše svi zli i nevaljali ljudi izmeðu onijeh koji su išli s Davidom, i rekoše: što nijesu išli s nama, zato da im ne damo od plijena koji izbavismo, nego svaki ženu svoju i sinove svoje neka uzmu, pa nek idu.
But some of the men who had gone with David, men who were evil and troublemakers, said, “These 200 men did not go with us. So we should not give to them any of the things that we recovered/captured. Each of them should take only his wife and children and go [back to their homes].”
23 Ali David reèe: nemojte tako èiniti, braæo moja, s onijem što nam je dao Gospod koji nas je saèuvao i dao nam u ruke èetu koja bješe izašla na nas.
David replied, “No, my fellow Israelis, it would not be right to divide up like that the things that Yahweh has allowed us to capture. Yahweh has protected us and enabled us to defeat the enemies who attacked our town.
24 I ko æe vas poslušati u tome? jer kakav je dio onome koji ide u boj taki je i onome koji ostane kod prtljaga; jednako treba da podijele.
(Who will pay attention to you if you say things like that?/No one will pay attention to you if you say things like that.) [RHQ] The men who stayed here with our supplies will get the same amount that the men who went into the battle will get. They will all receive the same amount.”
25 Tako bi od toga dana unapredak, i to posta uredba i zakon u Izrailju do danas.
David made that to be a law [DOU] for the Israeli people, and that is still a law in Israel.
26 I kad doðe David u Siklag, posla od plijena starješinama Judinijem, prijateljima svojim, govoreæi: evo vam dar od plijena neprijatelja Gospodnjih;
When David [and all the others] arrived in Ziklag, David sent to his friends who were leaders in Judah some of the things that they had captured from the Amalek people-group. He said to them, “Here is a present for you. These are things that we took from Yahweh’s enemies.”
27 Onima u Vetilju, i onima u Ramotu na jugu, i onima u Jatiru,
[Here is a list of the cities and towns to whose leaders David sent gifts: ] Bethel, Ramoth in the southern part of Judah, Jattir,
28 I onima u Aroiru, i onima u Sifmotu, i onima u Estemoji,
Aroer, Siphmoth, Eshtemoa,
29 I onima u Rahalu, i onima u gradovima Jerameilskim, i onima u gradovima Kenejskim,
Racal, the cities where the descendants of Jehrameel lived and the cities where the Ken people-group lived,
30 I onima u Ormi, i onima u Hor-Asanu, i onima u Atahu,
Hormah, Bor-Ashan, Athach,
31 I onima u Hevronu i po svijem mjestima u koja je dolazio David s ljudima svojim.
Hebron, and all the other places where David and his men had gone [when they were hiding from Saul].
