< 2 Samuel 1 >

1 After the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag,
A po smrti Saulovoj, kad se David vrati pobivši Amalike i osta u Siklagu dva dana,
2 on the third day, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn and earth on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the earth and showed respect.
Treæega dana, gle, doðe jedan iz vojske Saulove razdrtijeh haljina i glave posute prahom; i došav k Davidu pade na zemlju i pokloni se.
3 David said to him, “Where do you come from?” He said to him, “I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.”
I reèe mu David: otkuda ideš? A on mu reèe: iz okola Izrailjskoga utekoh.
4 David said to him, “How did it go? Please tell me.” He answered, “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead. Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.”
A David mu reèe: šta bi? kaži mi. A on reèe: narod pobježe iz boja; i mnogo naroda pade i izgibe, pogibe i Saul i sin mu Jonatan.
5 David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”
A David reèe momku koji mu donese glas: kako znaš da je poginuo Saul i sin mu Jonatan?
6 The young man who told him said, “As I happened by chance on Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and the horsemen followed close behind him.
A momak koji mu donese glas reèe: sluèajno doðoh na goru Gelvuju, a to se Saul naslonio na koplje svoje, kola i konjici približavahu se k njemu.
7 When he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me. I answered, ‘Here I am.’
A on obazrevši se natrag ugleda me, pa me viknu, a ja mu rekoh: evo me.
8 He said to me, ‘Who are you?’ I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’
A on mi reèe: ko si? A ja mu rekoh: Amalik sam.
9 He said to me, ‘Please stand beside me, and kill me, for anguish has taken hold of me because my life lingers in me.’
A on mi reèe: pristupi k meni i ubij me; jer me obuzeše muke, a još je sasvijem duša u meni.
10 So I stood beside him and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. I took the crown that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.”
I pristupih k njemu i ubih ga, jer sam znao da neæe ostati živ pošto pade; i uzeh vijenac carski koji mu bješe na glavi i grivnu koja mu bješe na ruci, i evo donesoh gospodaru svojemu.
11 Then David took hold on his clothes and tore them; and all the men who were with him did likewise.
Tada David zgrabi haljine na sebi i razdrije ih; tako i svi ljudi koji bijahu s njim.
12 They mourned, wept, and fasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
I ridaše i plakaše, i postiše do veèera za Saulom i za Jonatanom sinom njegovijem i za narodom Gospodnjim i za domom Izrailjevijem što izgiboše od maèa.
13 David said to the young man who told him, “Where are you from?” He answered, “I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite.”
I reèe David momku koji mu donese glas: odakle si? A on reèe: ja sam sin jednoga došljaka Amalika.
14 David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”
Reèe mu David: kako te nije bilo strah podiæi ruku svoju i ubiti pomazanika Gospodnjega?
15 David called one of the young men and said, “Go near, and cut him down!” He struck him so that he died.
I dozva David jednoga izmeðu momaka svojih i reèe: hodi, pogubi ga. A on ga udari, te umrije.
16 David said to him, “Your blood be on your head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have slain the LORD’s anointed.’”
I reèe mu David: krv tvoja na tvoju glavu; jer tvoja usta svjedoèiše na te govoreæi: ja sam ubio pomazanika Gospodnjega.
17 David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son
Tada David narica ovako za Saulom i za Jonatanom sinom njegovijem,
18 (and he commanded them to teach the children of Judah the song of the bow; behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):
I izgovori, da bi se uèili sinovi Judini luku, i eto je napisano u knjizi istinitoga:
19 “Your glory, Israel, was slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!
Diko Izrailjeva! na tvojim visinama pobijeni su; kako padoše junaci?
20 Do not tell it in Gath. Do not publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
Ne kazujte u Gatu, i ne razglašujte po ulicama Askalonskim, da se ne vesele kæeri Filistejske i da ne igraju kæeri neobrezanijeh.
21 You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain on you, and no fields of offerings; for there the shield of the mighty was defiled and cast away, the shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.
Gore Gelvujske! ne padala rosa ni dažd na vas, i ne rodilo polje za prinos, jer je tu baèen štit s junaka, štit Saulov, kao da nije pomazan uljem.
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, Jonathan’s bow did not turn back. Saul’s sword did not return empty.
Bez krvi pobijenijeh i bez masti od junaka nije se vraæao luk Jonatanov, niti je maè Saulov dolazio natrag prazan.
23 Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives. In their death, they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles. They were stronger than lions.
Saul i Jonatan, mili i dragi za života, ni na smrti se ne rastaviše; lakši od orlova bijahu.
24 You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you delicately in scarlet, who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.
Kæeri Izrailjeve! plaèite za Saulom, koji vas je oblaèio u skerlet lijepo, i kitio vas zlatnijem zakladima po haljinama vašim.
25 How the mighty have fallen in the middle of the battle! Jonathan was slain on your high places.
Kako padoše junaci u boju! Jonatan kako pogibe na tvojim visinama!
26 I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was wonderful, surpassing the love of women.
Žao mi je za tobom, brate Jonatane; bio si mi mio vrlo; veæa mi je bila ljubav tvoja od ljubavi ženske.
27 How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished!”
Kako padoše junaci, i propade oružje ubojito!
