2 Samuel 1

1 Pripetilo se je torej, po Savlovi smrti, ko se je David vrnil iz pokola Amalečanov in je David dva dni prebival v Ciklágu

And it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, that David abode two days in Ziklag.

2 in tretji dan se je zgodilo celo, da je, glej, mož prišel iz tabora od Savla s svojimi pretrganimi oblačili in zemlja je bila na njegovi glavi. In bilo je tako, ko je prišel k Davidu, da je padel k tlom in se globoko priklonil.

And it came to pass on the third day, that behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his garments rent, and earth upon his head; and as soon as he came to David, he fell to the earth and did obeisance.

3 David mu je rekel: »Od kod prihajaš?« Rekel mu je: »Pobegnil sem iz tabora Izraelcev.«

And David said to him, Whence comest thou? And he said to him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.

4 David mu je rekel: »Kako je šla zadeva? Prosim te, povej mi.« Odgovoril je: »Da je ljudstvo pobegnilo iz bitke in tudi številni izmed ljudstva so padli in so mrtvi in tudi Savel in njegov sin Jonatan sta mrtva.«

And David said to him, What has taken place? I pray thee, tell me. And he said that the people had fled from the battle, and many of the people also had fallen and died, and that Saul and Jonathan his son were dead also.

5 David je rekel mladeniču, ki mu je povedal: »Kako veš, da sta Savel in njegov sin Jonatan mrtva?«

And David said to the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?

6 Mladenič, ki mu je povedal, je rekel: »Kakor sem se naključno znašel na gori Gilbói, glej, Savel se je naslanjal na svojo sulico in glej, bojni vozovi in konjeniki so tesno sledili za njim.«

And the young man that told him said, I happened by chance to be upon mount Gilboa, and behold, Saul leaned on his spear; and behold, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.

7 Ko je pogledal za seboj, me je videl in me poklical k sebi. Odgovoril sem: »Tukaj sem.«

And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called to me. And I said, Here am I.

8 Rekel mi je: »Kdo si?« Odgovoril sem mu: »Amálečan sem.«

And he said to me, Who art thou? And I said to him, I am an Amalekite.

9 Ponovno mi je rekel: »Stoj, prosim te, nad menoj in me ubij, kajti tesnoba je prišla nadme, ker je moje življenje še celo v meni.«

He said to me again, Stand, I pray thee, over me, and slay me; for anguish has seized me; for my life is yet whole in me.

10 Tako sem stopil k njemu in ga usmrtil, ker sem bil prepričan, da potem, ko je padel, ne bi mogel živeti in vzel sem krono, ki je bila na njegovi glavi ter zapestnico, ki je bila na njegovem laktu ter ju prinesel sèm k svojemu gospodu.

So I stood over him, and put him to death, for I knew that he would not live after his fall; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither to my lord.

11 Potem je David prijel svoja oblačila in jih raztrgal in prav tako vsi možje, ki so bili z njim

Then David took hold of his garments and rent them; and all the men that were with him [did] likewise.

12 in žalovali so, jokali in se do večera postili za Savlom in za njegovim sinom Jonatanom in za Gospodovim ljudstvom in za Izraelovo hišo, ker so padli pod mečem.

And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.

13 David je rekel mladeniču, ki mu je povedal: »Od kod si?« Odgovoril je: »Jaz sem sin tujca, Amálečana.«

And David said to the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he said, I am the son of an Amalekite stranger.

14 David mu je rekel: »Kako se nisi bal iztegniti svoje roke, da uničiš Gospodovega maziljenca?«

And David said to him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thy hand to destroy Jehovah's anointed?

15 David je poklical enega izmed mladeničev ter rekel: »Približaj se in padi nanj.« In ta ga je udaril, da je umrl.

Then David called one of the young men and said, Draw near, [and] fall on him. And he smote him that he died.

16 David mu je rekel: »Tvoja kri bodi na tvoji glavi, kajti tvoja usta so pričala zoper tebe, rekoč: ›Umoril sem Gospodovega maziljenca.‹«

And David said to him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth has testified against thee, saying, I have slain Jehovah's anointed.

17 David je s tem žalovanjem žaloval nad Savlom in nad njegovim sinom Jonatanom.

And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son;

18 (Prav tako je zaukazal, naj Judove otroke učijo uporabo loka. Glej, to je napisano v Jasherjevi knjigi.)

and he bade them teach the children of Judah [the song of] the bow. Behold, it is written in the book of Jasher: —

19 »Izraelova lepota je umorjena na tvojih visokih krajih. Kako so padli mogočni!

The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!

20 Ne povejte tega v Gatu, ne razglašajte tega na Aškelónskih ulicah, da se ne bi filistejske hčere veselile, da ne bi hčere neobrezancev slavile.

Tell [it] not in Gath, carry not the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon; Lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, Lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

21 Ve gore Gilbóe, naj tam ne bo nobene rose niti naj tam ne bo dežja nad vami niti nobenih polj za darovanja, kajti ščit mogočnega je podlo odvržen, Savlov ščit, kakor če ne bi bil maziljen z oljem.

Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, no rain upon you, nor fields of heave-offerings! For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul, [as] not anointed with oil.

22 Od krvi pobitih, od maščobe mogočnih, se Jonatanov lok ni obrnil nazaj in Savlov meč se ni vrnil prazen.

From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan turned not back, And the sword of Saul returned not empty.

23 Savel in Jonatan sta bila očarljiva in prijetna v svojih življenjih in v svoji smrti nista bila ločena. Hitrejša sta bila kakor orli, močnejša sta bila kakor levi.

Saul and Jonathan, beloved and pleasant in their lives, Even in their death were not divided; They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.

24 Ve hčere izraelske, jokajte nad Savlom, ki vas je oblekel v škrlat, z drugimi nasladami, ki je na vaše obleke nadel ornamente iz zlata.

Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet with splendour, Who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.

25 Kako so mogočni padli v sredi bitke! Oh Jonatan, umorjen si bil na svojih visokih krajih.

How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain upon thy high places.

26 Žalosten sem zaradi tebe, moj brat Jonatan. Zelo prijeten si mi bil. Tvoja ljubezen do mene je bila čudovita, presegajoča ljubezen žensk.

I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant wast thou unto me; Thy love to me was wonderful, passing women's love.

27 Kako so mogočni padli in so uničena bojna orožja.«

How are the mighty fallen, and the instruments of war perished!
