1 Књига Самуилова 19
1 И Саул говори Јонатану сину свом и свим слугама својим да убију Давида; али Јонатан син Саулов љубљаше веома Давида.
And Saul gave orders to his son Jonathan and to all his servants to put David to death. But Saul's son Jonathan had great delight in David.
2 И јави Јонатан Давиду и рече му: Саул, отац мој, тражи да те убије; него се чувај сутра, склони се гдегод и прикриј се.
And Jonathan said to David, Saul, my father, is purposing your death: so now, take care in the morning, and keep yourself safe in a secret place:
3 А ја ћу изаћи и стајаћу поред оца свог у пољу где ти будеш, и говорићу о теби с оцем својим, и шта дознам јавићу ти.
And I will go out and take my place by my father's side in the field near where you are; and I will get into talk with my father about you, and when I see how things are, I will give you word.
4 И Јонатан проговори за Давида Саулу оцу свом, и рече му: Да се не огреши цар о слугу свог Давида, јер се он није огрешио о тебе, него је још врло добро за те шта је чинио.
And Jonathan gave his father Saul a good account of David, and said to him, Let not the king do wrong against his servant, against David; because he has done you no wrong, and all his acts have had a good outcome for you:
5 Јер није марио за живот свој и побио је Филистеје, и Господ учини спасење велико свему Израиљу; видео си и радовао си се; па зашто би се огрешио о крв праву и убио Давида низашта?
For he put his life in danger and overcame the Philistine, and the Lord gave all Israel salvation: you saw it and were glad: why then are you sinning against him who has done no wrong, desiring the death of David without cause?
6 И послуша Саул Јонатана, и закле се Саул: Тако жив био Господ, неће погинути.
And Saul gave ear to the voice of Jonathan, and said with an oath, By the living Lord, he is not to be put to death.
7 Тада Јонатан дозва Давида, и каза му Јонатан све ово; и доведе Јонатан Давида к Саулу, и опет би пред њим као пре.
Then Jonathan sent for David and gave him word of all these things. And Jonathan took David to Saul, who kept him by his side as in the past.
8 И наста опет рат, и Давид изађе и поби се с Филистејима, и разби их веома, те бежаше од њега.
And there was war again: and David went out fighting the Philistines, causing great destruction among them; and they went in flight before him.
9 Потом зли дух Господњи нападе Саула кад сеђаше код куће и држаше копље у руци, а Давид удараше руком о гусле.
And an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul, when he was seated in his house with his spear in his hand; and David made music for him.
10 И Саул хтеде Давида копљем приковати за зид, али се он измаче Саулу, те копље удари у зид, а Давид побеже и избави се ону ноћ.
And Saul would have sent his spear through him, pinning him to the wall, but he got away and the spear went into the wall: and that night David went in flight and got away.
11 А Саул посла људе ка кући Давидовој да га чувају и ујутру убију. А то јави Давиду жена његова Михала говорећи: Ако ноћас не избавиш душу своју, ујутру ћеш погинути.
Then in that night Saul sent men to David's house to keep watch on him so as to put him to death in the morning: and David's wife Michal said to him, If you do not go away to a safe place tonight you will be put to death in the morning.
12 Тада Михала спусти Давида кроз прозор, те отиде и побеже и избави се.
So Michal let David down through the window, and he went in flight and got away.
13 А Михала узе лик, и метну га у постељу, и метну му под главу узглавље од кострети, и покри га хаљином.
Then Michal took the image and put it in the bed, with a cushion of goat's hair at its head, and she put clothing over it.
14 И кад Саул посла људе да ухвате Давида, она рече: Болестан је.
And when Saul sent men to take David, she said, He is ill.
15 А Саул посла опет људе да виде Давида говорећи: Донесите ми га у постељи да га погубим.
And Saul sent his men to see David, saying, Do not come back without him, take him in his bed, so that I may put him to death.
16 А кад дођоше послани, гле, лик у постељи и узглавље од кострети под главом му.
And when the men came in, there was the image in the bed, with the cushion of goat's hair at its head
17 И рече Саул Михали: Што ме тако превари и пусти непријатеља мог да утече? А Михала рече Саулу: Он ми рече: Пусти ме, или ћу те убити.
And Saul said to Michal, why have you been false to me, letting my hater go and get safely away? And in answer Michal said to Saul, He said to me, Let me go, or I will put you to death.
18 Тако Давид побеже и избави се, и дође к Самуилу у Раму, и приповеди му све што му је учинио Саул. И отидоше он и Самуило, и осташе у Најоту.
So David went in flight and got away and came to Ramah, to Samuel, and gave him an account of all Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and were living in Naioth.
19 А Саулу дође глас и рекоше му: Ено Давида у Најоту у Рами.
And word was given to Saul that David was at Naioth in Ramah.
20 Тада посла Саул људе да ухвате Давида; и они видеше збор пророка где пророкују, а Самуило им старешина. И дух Господњи дође на посланике Саулове, те и они пророковаху.
And Saul sent men to take David; and when they saw the band of prophets at work, with Samuel in his place at their head, the spirit of God came on Saul's men, and they became like prophets.
21 А кад то јавише Саулу, он посла друге посланике, али и они пророковаху; те Саул опет посла треће посланике, али и они пророковаху.
And Saul, having news of this, sent other men, who in the same way became like prophets. And a third time Saul sent men, and they like the others became like prophets.
22 Тада сам пође у Раму, и кад дође на велики студенац који је у Сокоту, запита говорећи: Где је Самуило и Давид? И рекоше му: Ено их у Најоту у Рами.
Then he himself went to Ramah, and came to the great water-spring in Secu; and questioning the people he said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, They are at Naioth in Ramah.
23 И пође у Најот у Рами; али и на њега сиђе дух Божји, те идући даље пророкова докле дође у Најот у Рами.
And he went on from there to Naioth in Ramah: and the spirit of God came on him, and he went on, acting like a prophet, till he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 Па скиде и он хаљине своје са себе, и пророкова и он пред Самуилом, и паднувши лежаше го цео онај дан и сву ноћ. Стога се говори: Еда ли је и Саул међу пророцима?
And he took off his clothing, acting like a prophet before Samuel, and falling down he was stretched out, without his clothing, all that day and all that night. This is the reason for the saying, Is even Saul among the prophets?
