< 1 Samuel 17 >

1 Torej Filistejci so zbrali skupaj svoje vojske za boj in zbrani so bili skupaj pri Sohóju, ki pripada Judu in se utaborili med Sohójem in Azéko, v Efes Damímu.
Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle; and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephesdammim.
2 Savel in Izraelovi možje so bili zbrani skupaj in se utaborili poleg doline Elá in se postrojili v boj zoper Filistejce.
Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
3 Filistejci so stali na gori na eni strani, Izrael pa je stal na gori na drugi strani in med njimi je bila dolina.
The Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
4 Iz tabora Filistejcev je prišel šampion iz Gata, po imenu Goljat, katerega višina je bila šest komolcev in pedenj.
A champion out of the camp of the Philistines named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span went out.
5 Na svoji glavi je imel čelado iz brona in oborožen je bil z verižnim plaščem. Teža plašča je bila pet tisoč šeklov brona
He had a helmet of bronze on his head, and he wore a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze.
6 Na svojih nogah je imel bronaste golenice in okrogel ščit iz brona med svojimi rameni.
He had bronze shin armour on his legs and a bronze javelin between his shoulders.
7 Palica njegove sulice je bila podobna tkalčevemu brunu in vrh njegove sulice je tehtal šeststo šeklov železa in nekdo, ki je nosil ščit, je šel pred njim.
The staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron. His shield bearer went before him.
8 Stal je in klical Izraelovim vojskam ter jim rekel: »Zakaj ste prišli ven, da se postrojite za boj? Mar nisem jaz Filistejec, vi pa Savlovi služabniki? Izberite zase moža in naj pride dol k meni.
He stood and cried to the armies of Israel, and said to them, “Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.
9 Če se je zmožen bojevati z menoj in me ubiti, potem bomo mi vaši služabniki, toda če prevladam zoper njega in ga ubijem, potem boste vi naši služabniki in nam služili.«
If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you will be our servants and serve us.”
10 Filistejec je rekel: »Danes izzivam Izraelove vojske. Dajte mi človeka, da se lahko skupaj bojujeva.«
The Philistine said, “I defy the armies of Israel today! Give me a man, that we may fight together!”
11 Ko so Savel in ves Izrael slišali te Filistejčeve besede, so bili zaprepadeni in silno prestrašeni.
When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.
12 Torej David je bil sin tega Efratejca iz Judovega Betlehema, katerega ime je bilo Jese. Ta je imel osem sinov. V Savlovih dneh je mož odšel med može za starca.
Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons. The man was an elderly old man in the days of Saul.
13 Trije najstarejši Jesejevi sinovi so odšli in Savlu sledili v bitko. Imena njegovih treh sinov, ki so šli v bitko, so bila Eliáb, prvorojenec in poleg njega Abinadáb in tretji Šamá.
The three oldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle; and the names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
14 David je bil najmlajši in trije starejši so sledili Savlu.
David was the youngest; and the three oldest followed Saul.
15 Toda David je šel in se vrnil od Savla, da pri Betlehemu pase ovce svojega očeta.
Now David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Bethlehem.
16 Filistejec se je približal zjutraj in zvečer in se nastavljal štirideset dni.
The Philistine came near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
17 Jese je svojemu sinu Davidu rekel: »Vzemi sedaj za svoje brate škaf tega praženega zrnja in teh deset hlebov ter steci v tabor k svojim bratom
Jesse said to David his son, “Now take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to your brothers;
18 in teh deset sirov odnesi k poveljniku njihove tisočnije in poglej, kako se imajo tvoji bratje in vzemi njihovo jamstvo.«
and bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand; and see how your brothers are doing, and bring back news.”
19 Torej Savel in oni in vsi Izraelovi možje so bili v dolini Elá, boreč se s Filistejci.
Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
20 David je vstal zgodaj zjutraj in pustil ovce s čuvajem in vzel ter odšel, kakor mu je Jese zapovedal. Prišel je k okopu, medtem ko je šla vojska naprej v boj in zavpila za boj.
David rose up early in the morning and left the sheep with a keeper, and took the provisions and went, as Jesse had commanded him. He came to the place of the wagons as the army which was going out to the fight shouted for the battle.
21 Kajti Izrael in Filistejci so se postrojili v bitko, vojska zoper vojsko.
Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, army against army.
22 David je pustil svoj voz v roki čuvaja voza, stekel v vojsko, prišel in pozdravil svoje brate.
David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage and ran to the army, and came and greeted his brothers.
23 Medtem ko je govoril z njimi, glej, je prišel šampion, Filistejec iz Gata, po imenu Goljat, iz vojske Filistejcev in govoril glede na te iste besede in David jih je slišal.
As he talked with them, behold, the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, came up out of the ranks of the Philistines, and said the same words; and David heard them.
24 Ko so vsi Izraelovi možje videli moža, so zbežali pred njim in bili so boleče prestrašeni.
All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were terrified.
25 Možje iz Izraela so rekli: »Ali ste videli tega moža, ki je prišel gor? Zagotovo je prišel gor, da Izraela izpostavi sramotenju. Zgodilo se bo, da bo moža, ki ga ubije, kralj obogatil z velikimi bogastvi in dal mu bo svojo hčer in osvobodil hišo njegovega očeta v Izraelu.«
The men of Israel said, “Have you seen this man who has come up? He has surely come up to defy Israel. The king will give great riches to the man who kills him, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father’s house tax-free in Israel.”
26 David je spregovoril možem, ki so stali poleg njega, rekoč: »Kaj bo storjeno možu, ki ubije tega Filistejca in odvzame grajo od Izraela? Kajti kdo je ta neobrezani Filistejec, da bi izpostavljal sramotenju vojske živega Boga?«
David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, “What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”
27 Ljudstvo mu je odgovorilo na ta način, rekoč: »Tako bo storjeno možu, ki ga ubije.«
The people answered him in this way, saying, “So shall it be done to the man who kills him.”
28 Njegov najstarejši brat Eliáb pa je slišal, ko je govoril možem. Eliábova jeza je bila vžgana zoper Davida in rekel je: »Zakaj si prišel sèm dol? In s kom si pustil tistih nekaj ovc v divjini? Poznam tvojo ošabnost in porednost tvojega srca, kajti prišel si dol, da bi lahko videl bitko.«
Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger burnt against David, and he said, “Why have you come down? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the evil of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle.”
29 David je rekel: »Kaj sem torej storil? Mar ni tam razlog?«
David said, “What have I now done? Is there not a cause?”
30 Od njega se je obrnil k drugemu in mu govoril na isti način, ljudstvo pa mu je ponovno odgovorilo po prejšnjem načinu.
He turned away from him towards another, and spoke like that again; and the people answered him again the same way.
31 Ko so bile slišane besede, ki jih je govoril David, so jih ponovili pred Savlom. In ta je poslal ponj.
When the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed them before Saul; and he sent for him.
32 David je rekel Savlu: »Naj srce nobenega človeka ne upade zaradi njega. Tvoj služabnik bo šel in se boril s tem Filistejcem.«
David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him. Your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.”
33 Savel je rekel Davidu: »Ti nisi zmožen iti zoper tega Filistejca, da se boriš z njim, kajti ti si še mladostnik, on pa je bojevnik od svoje mladosti.«
Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.”
34 David je rekel Savlu: »Tvoj služabnik je pasel ovce svojega očeta in prišel je lev in medved in vzel jagnje iz tropa.
David said to Saul, “Your servant was keeping his father’s sheep; and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock,
35 Odšel sem ven za njim, ga udaril in to osvobodil iz njegovih ust. Ko se je dvignil zoper mene, sem ga ujel za njegovo grivo, ga udaril in usmrtil.
I went out after him, struck him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, struck him, and killed him.
36 Tvoj služabnik je usmrtil tako leva kakor medveda in ta neobrezani Filistejec bo kakor eden izmed njiju, glede na to, da je izzival vojske živega Boga.«
Your servant struck both the lion and the bear. This uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, since he has defied the armies of the living God.”
37 Poleg tega je David rekel: » Gospod, ki me je osvobodil iz levje šape in iz medvedje šape, on me bo osvobodil iz roke tega Filistejca.« In Savel je rekel Davidu: »Pojdi in Gospod bodi s teboj.«
David said, “The LORD, who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear, will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.” Saul said to David, “Go! The LORD will be with you.”
38 Savel je Davida oborožil s svojo bojno opremo in mu na glavo nadel bronasto čelado. Prav tako ga je oborožil z verižnim plaščem.
Saul dressed David with his clothing. He put a helmet of bronze on his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail.
39 David je opasal svoj meč na svojo bojno opremo in poskušal oditi, kajti tega ni preizkusil. David je rekel Savlu: »Ne morem iti s tem, kajti teh [stvari] nisem preizkusil.« In David jih je odložil iz sebe.
David strapped his sword on his clothing and he tried to move, for he had not tested it. David said to Saul, “I can’t go with these, for I have not tested them.” Then David took them off.
40 Vzel je svojo palico v svojo roko in si izbral pet gladkih kamnov iz potoka in jih položil v pastirsko torbo, ki jo je imel, celo v malho in njegova prača je bila v njegovi roki in približal se je Filistejcu.
He took his staff in his hand, and chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag which he had. His sling was in his hand; and he came near to the Philistine.
41 Filistejec je prišel in se približal Davidu in mož, ki je nosil ščit, je šel pred njim.
The Philistine walked and came near to David; and the man who bore the shield went before him.
42 Ko je Filistejec pogledal naokoli in zagledal Davida, ga je preziral, kajti bil je šele mladostnik, rdečkast in lepega obličja.
When the Philistine looked around and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and had a good looking face.
43 Filistejec je Davidu rekel: » Sem mar pes, da prihajaš k meni s palicami?« Filistejec je Davida preklel pri svojih bogovih.
The Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” The Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 Filistejec je rekel Davidu: »Pridi k meni in tvoje meso bom izročil perjadi neba in živalim polja.«
The Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and to the animals of the field.”
45 Potem je David rekel Filistejcu: »Ti prihajaš k meni z mečem, s sulico in s ščitom, toda jaz prihajam k tebi v imenu Gospoda nad bojevniki, Boga Izraelovih vojsk, ki si ga izpostavljal sramotenju.
Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin; but I come to you in the name of the LORD of Armies, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
46 Ta dan te bo Gospod izročil v mojo roko in udaril te bom in tvojo glavo vzel iz tebe in trupla vojske Filistejcev bom ta dan izročil zračni perjadi in divjim zverem zemlje, da bo vsa zemlja lahko vedela, da je Bog v Izraelu.
Today, the LORD will deliver you into my hand. I will strike you and take your head from off you. I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines today to the birds of the sky and to the wild animals of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,
47 Ves ta zbor bo vedel, da Gospod ne rešuje z mečem in sulico, kajti boj je Gospodov in on vas bo izročil v naše roke.«
and that all this assembly may know that the LORD doesn’t save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hand.”
48 Pripetilo se je, ko je Filistejec vstal in prišel ter se približal, da sreča Davida, da je David pohitel in stekel proti vojski, da sreča Filistejca.
When the Philistine arose, and walked and came near to meet David, David hurried and ran towards the army to meet the Philistine.
49 David je svojo roko položil v svojo torbo, od tam vzel kamen, ga zalučal in udaril Filistejca v njegovo čelo, da je kamen potonil v njegovo čelo in ta je padel na svoj obraz k zemlji.
David put his hand in his bag, took a stone and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.
50 Tako je David prevladal nad Filistejcem s pračo in s kamnom in Filistejca udaril in ubil, pa vendar v Davidovi roki ni bilo meča.
So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him; but there was no sword in David’s hand.
51 Zato je David stekel in obstal nad Filistejcem, vzel njegov meč, ga izvlekel iz njegove nožnice, ga ubil in z njim odsekal njegovo glavo. Ko so Filistejci videli, da je bil njihov šampion mrtev, so pobegnili.
Then David ran, stood over the Philistine, took his sword, drew it out of its sheath, killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
52 Možje iz Izraela in možje iz Juda so vstali, zavpili in zasledovali Filistejce, dokler ne prideš do doline in k velikim vratom Ekróna. Ranjeni izmed Filistejcev so padali dol po poti k Šaarájimu, celo do Gata in do Ekróna.
The men of Israel and of Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as Gai and to the gates of Ekron. The wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath and to Ekron.
53 Izraelovi otroci so se vrnili iz preganjanja za Filistejci in oplenili njihove šotore.
The children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.
54 David je vzel glavo Filistejca in jo prinesel v Jeruzalem, toda njegovo bojno opremo je odložil v svoj šotor.
David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armour in his tent.
55 Ko je Savel zagledal Davida iti naprej zoper Filistejca, je rekel Abnêrju, poveljniku vojske: »Abnêr, čigav sin je ta mladostnik?« Abnêr je rekel: » Kakor živi tvoja duša, oh kralj, ne morem povedati.«
When Saul saw David go out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the army, “Abner, whose son is this youth?” Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, I can’t tell.”
56 Kralj je rekel: »Poizvedi, čigav sin je ta najstnik.«
The king said, “Enquire whose son the young man is!”
57 Ko se je David vrnil iz uboja Filistejca, ga je Abnêr vzel in privedel pred Savla, s Filistejčevo glavo v svoji roki.
As David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
58 Savel mu je rekel: »Čigav sin si ti, ti mladenič?« David je odgovoril: »Jaz sem sin tvojega služabnika Betlehemca Jeseja.«
Saul said to him, “Whose son are you, you young man?” David answered, “I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.”
