< 1 Samuel 23 >

1 David was told, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing floors.”
Tedy oznámili Davidovi, řkouce: Aj, Filistinští dobývají Cejly a loupí dvory.
2 Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go and strike these Philistines?” The LORD said to David, “Go strike the Philistines, and save Keilah.”
Protož tázal se David Hospodina, řka: Mám-li jíti a udeřiti na ty Filistinské? I odpověděl Hospodin Davidovi: Jdi a porazíš Filistinské, i Cejlu vysvobodíš.
3 David’s men said to him, “Behold, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”
Muži pak Davidovi řekli jemu: Aj, my zde v Judstvu bojíme se, čím více, když půjdeme k Cejle proti vojskům Filistinských.
4 Then David inquired of the LORD yet again. The LORD answered him, and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
A tak opět David tázal se Hospodina. Jemuž odpověděl Hospodin a řekl: Vstana, vytáhni k Cejle, neboť dám Filistinské v ruce tvé.
5 David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their livestock, and killed them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
I táhl David a muži jeho k Cejle, a bojoval s Filistinskými, a zajal dobytky jejich. I porazil je ranou velikou, a tak vysvobodil David obyvatele Cejly.
6 When Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, he came down with an ephod in his hand.
Stalo se pak, že když utíkal Abiatar syn Achimelechův k Davidovi do Cejly, dostal se efod v ruce jeho.
7 Saul was told that David had come to Keilah. Saul said, “God has delivered him into my hand, for he is shut in by entering into a town that has gates and bars.”
Potom oznámeno bylo Saulovi, že přitáhl David do Cejly. I řekl Saul: Dalť ho Bůh v ruku mou, nebo zavřel se, všed do města hrazeného a zavřitého.
8 Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.
I svolal Saul všecken lid k boji, aby táhl k Cejle, a oblehl Davida i muže jeho.
9 David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him. He said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.”
A zvěděv David, že Saul tajně ukládá o něm zle, řekl Abiatarovi knězi: Vezmi na se efod.
10 Then David said, “O LORD, the God of Israel, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah to destroy the city for my sake.
I řekl David: Hospodine, Bože Izraelský, za jistou věc slyšel služebník tvůj, že strojí Saul přitáhnouti k Cejle, aby zkazil město pro mne.
11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? Will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? LORD, the God of Israel, I beg you, tell your servant.” The LORD said, “He will come down.”
Vydali-li by mne muži Cejly v ruce jeho? A přitáhl-li by Saul, jakž slyšel služebník tvůj? Hospodine, Bože Izraelský, oznam, prosím, služebníku svému. Odpověděl Hospodin: Přitáhl by.
12 Then David said, “Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?” The LORD said, “They will deliver you up.”
Řekl ještě David: Vydali-li by mne obyvatelé Cejly i muže mé v ruce Saulovy? Odpověděl Hospodin: Vydali by.
13 Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah and went wherever they could go. Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah; and he gave up going there.
Vstav tedy David a muži jeho, téměř šest set mužů, vytáhli z Cejly a šli ustavičně, kamž jíti mohli. Saulovi pak povědíno, že ušel David z Cejly; i nechal tažení.
14 David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God did not deliver him into his hand.
Byl pak David na poušti v místech bezpečných, a bydlil na hoře, na poušti Zif. A ačkoli hledal ho Saul po všecky ty dny, však nevydal ho Bůh v ruku jeho.
15 David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the woods.
Vida tedy David, že Saul vytáhl hledati bezživotí jeho, byl na poušti Zif v lese.
16 Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose and went to David into the woods, and strengthened his hand in God.
Vstav pak Jonata syn Saulův, přišel k Davidovi do lesa, a posilnil ruky jeho v Bohu.
17 He said to him, “Do not be afraid, for the hand of Saul my father will not find you; and you will be king over Israel, and I will be next to you; and Saul my father knows that also.”
A řekl jemu: Neboj se, neboť nenalezne tebe ruka Saule otce mého, ale ty kralovati budeš nad Izraelem, a já budu druhý po tobě. Však i Saul otec můj zná to.
18 They both made a covenant before the LORD. Then David stayed in the woods and Jonathan went to his house.
I učinili smlouvu oba před Hospodinem; a David zůstal v lese, Jonata pak navrátil se do domu svého.
19 Then the Ziphites came up to Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Does not David hide himself with us in the strongholds in the woods, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the desert?
Tedy přišli Zifejští k Saulovi do Gabaa, řkouce: Zdaliž David nepokrývá se u nás v horách, v lese, na pahrbku Hachile, kterýž jest na pravé straně pouště.
20 Now therefore, O king, come down. According to all the desire of your soul to come down; and our part will be to deliver him up into the king’s hand.”
Protož nyní podlé vší žádosti duše své, ó králi, přitáhni stěží, my se pak přičiníme, abychom jej vydali v ruce královy.
21 Saul said, “You are blessed by the LORD, for you have had compassion on me.
I řekl Saul: Požehnaní vy od Hospodina, že mne litujete.
22 Please go make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who has seen him there; for I have been told that he is very cunning.
Jdětež medle, ujisťte se tím ještě lépe, přezvězte a shlédněte místo jeho, kam se obrátí, kdo ho tam viděl; nebo mi praveno, že divných chytrostí užívá.
23 See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides himself; and come again to me with certainty, and I will go with you. It shall happen, if he is in the land, that I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah.”
Vyšpehujtež tedy a vyzvězte všecky skrejše, v nichž se kryje, a navraťte se ke mně s věcí jistou, i potáhnu s vámi, a jestliže v zemi jest, hledati ho budu ve všech tisících Judských.
24 They arose, and went to Ziph before Saul; but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of the desert.
Kteřížto vstavše, navrátili se do Zif před Saulem; David pak a muži jeho byli na poušti Maon, na rovinách po pravé straně pouště.
25 Saul and his men went to seek him. When David was told, he went down to the rock, and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard that, he pursued David in the wilderness of Maon.
Nebo jakž vytáhl Saul s lidem svým hledati ho, oznámeno bylo to Davidovi, kterýž sstoupil s skály a bydlil na poušti Maon. O čemž Saul uslyšav, honil Davida po poušti Maon.
26 Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain; and David hurried to get away for fear of Saul, for Saul and his men surrounded David and his men to take them.
A tak Saul táhl s jedné strany hory, David pak a muži jeho po druhé straně hory. A pospíšil David, aby mohl utéci od tváři Saulovy; nebo Saul s lidem svým obkličovali Davida i muže jeho, aby je zjímali.
27 But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, for the Philistines have made a raid on the land!”
V tom přišel posel k Saulovi, řka: Pospěš a přiď, nebo Filistinští vtrhli do země.
28 So Saul returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines. Therefore they called that place Sela Hammahlekoth.
A protož navrátil se Saul od honění Davida, táhl proti Filistinským. Pročež nazvali to místo: Skála rozdělující.
29 David went up from there and lived in the strongholds of En Gedi.
Odšed pak David odtud, bydlil v místech bezpečných Engadi.
