1 Samuel 14

1 Pripetilo se je torej na dan, ko je Savlov sin Jonatan rekel mladeniču, ki je nosil njegovo bojno opremo: »Pridi in pojdiva preko, k filistejski garniziji, ki je na drugi strani.« Toda ni povedal svojemu očetu.

One day, Jonathan said to the young man who carried his weapons, “Come with me; we will go over to where the Philistia soldiers have put up their tents.” [So they went], but Jonathan did not tell his father [what they were going to do].

2 Savel je sedel na najbolj oddaljenem delu Gíbee, pod granatovcem, ki je v Migrónu in ljudstva, ki je bilo z njim, je bilo približno šeststo mož.

On that day, Saul and the 600 soldiers who were with him were sitting around a pomegranate tree at a place where the people threshed grain, near Gibeah.

3 Ahíja, sin Ahitúba, Ikabódov brat, sinú Pinhása, sinú Élija, Gospodovega duhovnika v Šilu, je nosil efód. Ljudstvo pa ni vedelo, da je Jonatan odšel.

Ahijah the priest was also there. He was wearing the sacred vest. Ahijah was the son of Ahitub, who was a brother of Ichabod. Ichabod and Ahitub were the sons of Phinehas, who was the son of Eli, who had been Yahweh’s priest at Shiloh. No one knew that Jonathan had left [the Israeli camp].

4 Med prehodi, ob katerih je Jonatan iskal, da bi šel preko k filistejski garniziji, je bila ostra skala na eni strani in ostra skala na drugi strani. Ime ene je bilo Bocéc, ime druge pa Sene.

Jonathan planned that he and the young man would go through a narrow (pass/place between two cliffs) to get to where the Philistia army was. The cliff on one side of the pass was named Bozez, and the other cliff was named Seneh.

5 Sprednji del ene je bil obrnjen proti severu, nasproti Mihmášu in druge proti jugu, nasproti Gíbei.

One cliff faced north toward Micmash, and the cliff on the other side faced south toward Geba [town].

6 Jonatan je rekel mladeniču, ki je nosil njegovo bojno opremo: »Pridi in pojdiva preko, h garniziji teh neobrezancev. Morda bo Gospod delal za naju, kajti ni omejitve Gospodu, da reši po mnogih ali po peščici.«

Jonathan said to the young man who carried his weapons, “Come with me. We will go to where those (pagans/people who do not believe in Yahweh) [MTY] have set up their tents. Perhaps Yahweh will help us. It does not matter whether we are only two men or many people; nothing can hinder Yahweh from enabling us to defeat them.”

7 Njegov nosilec bojne opreme mu je rekel: »Stori vse, kar je v tvojem srcu. Obrni se, glej, jaz sem s teboj glede na tvoje srce.«

The young man who was carrying Jonathan’s weapons said, “Do what you think is the best thing for us to do. I will help you.”

8 Potem je Jonatan rekel: »Glej, šla bova preko, k tem možem in se jim bova odkrila.

Then Jonathan said, “Okay, come with me. We will cross the valley to where the Philistia army is, and allow them to see us.

9 Če nama rečejo: ›Ostanita, dokler ne pridemo do vaju, ‹ potem bova mirno stala na svojem kraju in ne bova šla gor k njim.

If they then say to us, ‘You two stay there until we come down to you,’ we will stay there and not go up to them.

10 Toda če rečejo tako: ›Pridita gor k nam, ‹ potem bova šla gor, kajti Gospod jih je izročil v najino roko in to nama bo za znamenje.«

But if they say to us, ‘Come up here [and fight against] us,’ that will show us that Yahweh will enable us to defeat them. Then we will go up and fight them.”

11 Oba izmed njiju sta se odkrila garniziji Filistejcev. Filistejci so rekli: »Poglejte, Hebrejci prihajajo iz lukenj, kamor so se skrili.«

When the two of them crossed the valley, the Philistia soldiers saw them coming. They said, “Look! The Hebrews are crawling out of the holes in which they have been hiding!”

12 Možje iz garnizije so Jonatanu in njegovemu nosilcu bojne opreme odgovorili ter rekli: »Pridita gor k nam in pokazali vama bomo stvar.« Jonatan je rekel svojemu nosilcu bojne opreme: »Pridi gor za menoj, kajti Gospod jih je izročil v Izraelovo roko.«

Then the Philistia soldiers who were closest to Jonathan and the young man who carried his weapons said, “Come up here, and we will teach you something [about how to fight] [IDM]!” Jonathan said to the young man who was with him, “Come behind me and climb up, because Yahweh is going to help us to defeat them!”

13 Jonatan je plezal gor po svojih rokah in po svojih stopalih in njegov nosilec bojne opreme za njim in padali so pred Jonatanom. Njegov nosilec bojne opreme pa jih je pobijal za njim.

So Jonathan climbed up, using his hands and his feet [because it was very steep]. The young man climbed up following him. As Jonathan climbed, he struck and killed many Philistia soldiers, and the young man who was with him killed many more as he followed behind Jonathan.

14 Ta prvi pokol, ki sta ga naredila Jonatan in njegov nosilec bojne opreme, je zajel okrog dvajset mož, kakor bi bilo znotraj pol orala dežele, ki bi jo lahko preoral jarem volov.

In that first battle the two of them killed about 20 Philistia soldiers in an area that was about half an acre.

15 V vojski na polju in med vsem ljudstvom je bilo trepetanje. Garnizija in plenilci, tudi oni so trepetali in zemlja se je tresla. Tako je bilo zelo veliko trepetanje.

Then all the other Philistia soldiers, the ones in the camp and the ones who had been attacking the Israeli towns, ones who were out in the field much closer, panicked. Then God caused the ground to shake, and they all became terrified/very afraid.

16 Savlovi stražarji v Benjaminovi Gíbei so pogledali in glej, množica se je razblinila in nadaljevali so s podiranjem drug drugega.

Saul’s (lookouts/men who were watching to see if enemies were coming) were in Gibeah [town] in the land of the tribe of Benjamin. They saw that the soldiers of the Philistia army were running away in all directions.

17 Potem je Savel rekel ljudstvu, ki je bilo z njim: »Preštejte torej in poglejte, kdo je odšel od nas.« Ko so prešteli, glej, Jonatan in njegov nosilec bojne opreme nista bila tam.

Saul [realized that some of his soldiers must have attacked the Philistia army. So he] said to the soldiers who were with him, “Check to see if any of our men are not here.” So they checked, and they found out that Jonathan and the man who carried his weapons were gone.

18 Savel je rekel Ahíju: »Prinesi sèm Božjo skrinjo.« Kajti Božja skrinja je bila ob tistem času z Izraelovimi otroki.

So Saul said to Ahijah [the Supreme Priest], “Bring the sacred vest here [and find out what we should do].” On that day Ahijah was wearing the sacred vest, going in front of the Israelis.

19 Pripetilo se je, medtem ko je Savel govoril z duhovnikom, da se je hrup, ki je bil v vojski Filistejcev, nadaljeval in naraščal in Savel je rekel duhovniku: »Umakni svojo roko.«

But while Saul was talking to the priest, [he saw that] the Philistia soldiers were becoming more panicked/confused. So Saul said to Ahijah, “Take your hand down [from the sacred vest. Do not waste any more time using the marked stones in the vest to find out what Yahweh wants us to do.”]

20 Savel ter vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, so se zbrali skupaj in prišli k bitki. Glej, meč vsakega moža je bil proti njegovemu tovarišu in tam je bila zelo velika zmeda.

Then Saul gathered his men and they went toward the battle. They found that the Philistia soldiers were so confused that they were striking each other with their swords.

21 Pa tudi Hebrejci, ki so bili pred tem časom s Filistejci, ki so iz okoliške dežele odšli z njimi gor v tabor, celo ti so se prav tako obrnili, da bi bili z Izraelci, ki so bili s Savlom in Jonatanom.

Before that, some of the Hebrew men had deserted their army and gone to join with the Philistia army. But now those men [revolted and] joined with Saul and Jonathan and the other Israeli soldiers.

22 Podobno so tudi vsi Izraelovi možje, ki so se skrili na gori Efrájim, ko so slišali, da so Filistejci zbežali, celo oni so sledili tik za njimi v bitko.

Some of the Israeli soldiers had previously run away and hidden in the mountains where the tribe of Ephraim lived. But when they heard that the Philistia soldiers were running away, they [came down and] joined the other Israeli soldiers and pursued the Philistia soldiers.

23 Tako je Gospod tisti dan rešil Izraela. Bitka je prešla preko k Bet Avenu.

So Yahweh rescued the Israelis on that day. The Israeli soldiers continued to pursue their enemies beyond Beth-Aven [town].

24 Izraelovi možje so bili ta dan užaloščeni, kajti Savel je ljudstvo zaprisegel, rekoč: »Preklet naj bo mož, ki poje kakršnokoli hrano do večera, da bom lahko maščevan na svojih sovražnikih.« Tako nihče izmed ljudstva ni pokusil nobene hrane.

Before Saul’s soldiers went to the battle, Saul declared to them solemnly, “I do not want any of you to eat any food before this evening, before we have defeated all our enemies. If anyone eats anything, [Yahweh] will curse/punish him.” So none of the Israeli soldiers ate any food, and they became faint/weak because they were very hungry.

25 Vsi tisti iz dežele so prišli do gozda in tam je bil na tleh med.

The Israeli army went into the forest, and they found honeycombs on the ground, but they did not eat any honey.

26 Ko je ljudstvo prišlo v gozd, glej, je kapljal med, toda noben mož ni iztegnil svoje roke k svojim ustom, kajti ljudstvo se je balo prisege.

They were afraid to eat any, because they had solemnly promised that they would not eat any food.

27 Toda Jonatan ni slišal, ko je njegov oče ljudstvo obremenil s prisego. Zato je iztegnil konec palice, ki je bila v njegovi roki in jo omočil v satovju in svojo roko nesel k ustom in njegove oči so bile razsvetljene.

But Jonathan did not hear what his father commanded [because he had left the camp very early in the morning]. So [when he saw] a honeycomb, he dipped the end of his walking stick into it and ate some honey. After he ate the honey, he felt stronger.

28 Potem je odgovoril eden izmed ljudstva in rekel: »Tvoj oče je s prisego strogo obremenil ljudstvo, rekoč: ›Preklet bodi človek, ki danes poje kakršnokoli hrano.‹« In ljudstvo je bilo slabotno.

But one of the Israeli soldiers saw him and said to him, “Your father solemnly declared to us that [Yahweh] would curse/punish anyone who ate any food today. So now we are [very tired and] weak from being hungry [because we obeyed him].”

29 Potem je Jonatan rekel: »Moj oče je vznemiril deželo. Poglej, prosim te, kako so bile moje oči razsvetljene, ker sem okusil malo od tega medu.

Jonathan exclaimed, “My father has caused trouble for all of us! See how refreshed/strong I am after eating a little honey!

30 Kako mnogo bolj, če bi morda ljudstvo danes prosto jedlo od plena svojih sovražnikov, ki so ga našli? Kajti ali ne bi bil sedaj veliko večji pokol med Filistejci?«

If he had permitted all of us to eat from the food we took from our enemies while we were pursuing them, we would have been able to kill many more of their soldiers!”

31 Ta dan so udarili Filistejce od Mihmáša do Ajalóna, ljudstvo pa je bilo zelo slabotno.

The Israelis pursued and killed Philistia soldiers all that day, from Micmash [town west] to Aijalon. But they continued to become weaker from being hungry.

32 In ljudstvo se je vrglo na plen in vzelo ovce, vole in teleta in zaklali so jih na tleh. Ljudstvo jih je jedlo s krvjo.

They had taken [many] sheep and cattle that the Philistia soldiers had abandoned. Now, because they were extremely hungry, they butchered some of those animals and ate the meat without draining the blood from the animals.

33 Potem so povedali Savlu, rekoč: »Glej, ljudstvo greši zoper Gospoda v tem, da jedo s krvjo.« Rekel je: »Pregrešili ste se. Zavalite k meni ta dan velik kamen.«

One of the soldiers told Saul, “Look! The men are sinning against Yahweh by eating meat that still has blood in it!” Saul replied [to the men who were near him], “They have disobeyed Yahweh! Roll a large stone over here!”

34 Savel je rekel: »Razpršite se med ljudstvo in jim recite: ›Privedite mi sèm vsak človek svojega vola in vsak človek svojo ovco in zakoljite jih tukaj in jejte in ne grešite zoper Gospoda, v tem, da bi jedli s krvjo.‹« Vse ljudstvo je to noč privedlo, vsak človek svojega vola s seboj in so jih tam zaklali.

After they did that, he said to those men, “Go and tell all the soldiers that each of them must bring an ox or a sheep to me, and kill it here on this stone, [and drain the blood] before he eats any of the meat. They should not sin against Yahweh by eating meat [from some animal] without draining its blood.” So that night all the soldiers brought animals and slaughtered them there. Then Saul built an altar to [worship] Yahweh.

35 Savel je zgradil oltar Gospodu. Ta isti je bil prvi oltar, ki ga je zgradil Gospodu.

That was the first [time that he built an] altar for Yahweh.

36 Savel je rekel: »Pojdimo ponoči dol za Filistejci in jih plenimo do jutranje svetlobe in ne pustimo nobenega moža od njih.« Rekli so: »Stôri, karkoli se ti zdi dobro.« Potem je rekel duhovniku: »Približajmo se sèm k Bogu.«

Then Saul said [to the Israeli soldiers], “Let’s pursue the Philistia soldiers tonight. We can attack them all night. We will not allow any of them to escape alive.” The Israeli soldiers answered, “We will do whatever you think is the best thing for us to do.” But the priest said, “We should ask Yahweh [what he thinks we should do].”

37 Savel je vprašal za nasvet od Boga: »Ali naj grem dol za Filistejci? Ali jih boš izročil v Izraelovo roko?« Toda tisti dan mu ni odgovoril.

So Saul asked God, “Should we pursue the Philistine soldiers? Will you enable us to defeat them?” But God did not answer Saul that day.

38 Savel je rekel: »Približajte se sèm, vsi vodje ljudstva in vedite in poglejte, v čem je bil ta greh ta dan.

Then Saul summoned all the leaders of his army. He said to them, “[I am sure that God has not answered me because] someone has sinned. We must find out what sin someone has committed.

39 Kajti kakor živi Gospod, ki rešuje Izrael, čeprav bi bil ta na mojem sinu Jonatanu, bo on zagotovo umrl.« Toda tam ni bilo moža izmed ljudstva, da bi mu odgovoril.

Yahweh has rescued us [from the Philistia army]. Just as certain as Yahweh lives, whoever has sinned must be executed. Even if it is my son Jonathan who has sinned, he must be executed.” [His men knew who was guilty], but none of them said anything [to Saul].

40 Potem je vsemu Izraelu rekel: »Vi bodite na eni strani, jaz in moj sin Jonatan pa bova na drugi strani.« Ljudstvo je Savlu reklo: »Stori, kar se ti zdi dobro.«

Then Saul said to all the Israeli soldiers, “You stand on one side. My son Jonathan and I will stand on the other side.” His men replied, “Do whatever you think is best.”

41 Zato je Savel rekel Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu: »Daj popoln žreb.« Zajeta sta bila Savel in Jonatan, toda ljudstvo je bilo izločeno.

Then Saul prayed to Yahweh, the Israelis’ God, “Tell me who is guilty and who is not guilty.” Then the priest (cast lots/threw the stones that were marked), and they indicated that it was [either] Jonathan or Saul who was the guilty one, and that the other men were not guilty.

42 Savel je rekel: »Vrzite žrebe med menoj in mojim sinom Jonatanom.« In izbran je bil Jonatan.

Then Saul said to the priest, “Throw the stones again to indicate which of us two is guilty.” So he did, and the stones indicated that Jonathan was the guilty one.

43 Potem je Savel rekel Jonatanu: »Povej mi kaj si storil.« Jonatan mu je povedal in rekel: »Samo pokusil sem malo medu s koncem palice, ki je bila v moji roki in glej, moram umreti.«

Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done [that was wrong].” Jonathan replied, “I ate a little bit of honey. It was only a little bit that was on the end of my stick. Do I [deserve to be] executed [because of doing that]?”

44 Savel je odgovoril: »Bog stori tako in še več, kajti zagotovo boš umrl, Jonatan.«

Saul replied, “Yes, you must be executed! I hope/wish that God will strike me and kill me if you are not executed for having done that!”

45 Ljudstvo pa je reklo Savlu: »Ali naj Jonatan umre, ki je izvršil to veliko rešitev duš v Izraelu? Bog ne daj. Kakor Gospod živi, ne bo niti en las iz njegove glave padel na tla, kajti ta dan je delal z Bogom.« Tako je ljudstvo rešilo Jonatana, da ni umrl.

But the Israeli soldiers said to Saul, “Jonathan has won a great victory for all us Israelis. Should he be executed for eating some honey [RHQ]? Certainly not! Just as surely as Yahweh lives, we will not allow you to injure him in any manner [IDM], [because] today God helped Jonathan [to kill many soldiers of the Philistia army]!” So [by saying that] the Israeli soldiers rescued Jonathan, and he was not executed.

46 Potem je Savel odšel gor od sledenja Filistejcem in Filistejci so odšli k svojemu lastnemu kraju.

Then Saul ordered his soldiers to stop pursuing the Philistia army, so the Philistia soldiers returned to their homes.

47 Tako je Savel vzel kraljestvo nad Izraelom in se boril zoper vse svoje sovražnike na vsaki strani, zoper Moáb, zoper Amónove otroke, zoper Edóm, zoper kralje Cobe in zoper Filistejce in h komurkoli se je obrnil, jim je povzročal skrbi.

After Saul became the ruler/king of the Israeli people, his army fought against their enemies in many areas. They fought against armies of the Moab people-group, the Ammon people-group, the Edom people-group, the kings of Zobah [city/area], and the Philistia people-group. Wherever the Israeli army fought, they defeated their enemies.

48 Zbral je vojsko, udaril Amalečane in Izraela osvobodil iz rok tistih, ki so jih plenili.

Saul’s army fought bravely and defeated the [very tall] descendants of Amalek. His army rescued the Israelis from those who had (plundered/forcefully taken things from) them.

49 Torej Savlovi sinovi so bili Jonatan, Jišví in Malkišúa. Imena njegovih dveh hčera sta bili: ime prvorojene Merába in ime mlajše Mihála.

Saul’s sons were Jonathan, Ishbosheth, and Malchishua. He also had two daughters, Merab and her younger sister Michal.

50 Ime Savlove žene je bilo Ahinóam, Ahimáacova hči. Ime poveljnika njegove vojske je bilo Abnêr, sin Savlovega strica Nera.

Saul’s wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz. The commander of Saul’s army was Abner, who was the son of Saul’s uncle Ner.

51 Kiš je bil Savlov oče in Abnêrjev oče Ner je bil Abiélov sin.

Saul’s father Kish and Abner’s father Ner were both sons of Abiel.

52 In tam je bila silna vojna zoper Filistejce vse Savlove dni in ko je Savel zagledal kateregakoli močnega moža ali kateregakoli hrabrega moža, ga je vzel k sebi.

All the time that Saul was alive, his army fought against the Philistia army. And whenever Saul saw a young man who was (brave/not afraid to fight) and strong, he forced him to join his army.
