1 Samuel 20
1 And David went in flight from Naioth in Ramah and came to Jonathan and said, What have I done? What is my crime and my sin against your father that he is attempting to take my life?
David pobježe iz Najota u Rami i dođe k Jonatanu te mu reče: “Što sam učinio? Kakva je bila moja krivica i što sam zgriješio tvome ocu da traži moj život?”
2 And he said to him, Far be the thought: you will not be put to death: see, my father does nothing, great or small, without giving me word of it: would he keep this secret from me? It is not so.
A on mu odgovori: “Daleko od tebe ta misao! Ti nećeš poginuti. Eto, moj otac ne poduzima ništa, bilo veliko ili ne bilo, a da to meni ne otkrije. Zašto bi, dakle, moj otac krio od mene upravo to? Neće to biti!”
3 But David took his oath again and said, Your father sees that I am dear to you; so he says to himself, Let Jonathan have no idea of this, for it will be a grief to him; but as the Lord is living, and as your soul is living, there is only a step between me and death.
Ali se David zakle i reče: “Tvoj otac dobro zna da sam ja stekao tvoju naklonost, pa misli: 'Ne treba da Jonatan išta zna o tome, da ne bude žalostan.' Ali živoga mi Jahve i života mi tvoga, ima samo jedan korak između mene i smrti.”
4 Then Jonathan said to David, Whatever your desire is, I will do it for you.
Tada Jonatan upita Davida: “Što želiš da učinim za tebe?”
5 And David said to Jonathan, Tomorrow is the new moon, and I will not be seated with the king at his table: but let me go to a safe place in the country till the evening.
A David odgovori Jonatanu: “Evo, sutra je mladi mjesec i ja bih morao jesti s kraljem za stolom; ali me ti pusti da odem, da se sakrijem u polju do večera.
6 And if your father takes note of the fact that I am away, say, David made a request to me for himself that he might go to Beth-lehem, to his town: for it is the time when his family make their offering year by year.
Ako tvoj otac opazi da me nema, reći ćeš mu ovako: 'David me uporno molio da ga pustim da skokne u svoj grad Betlehem, jer se ondje slavi godišnja žrtva za svu njegovu obitelj.'
7 If he says, It is well, your servant will be at peace: but if he is angry, then it will be clear to you that he has an evil purpose in mind against me.
Ako on rekne: 'Dobro!', tvoj je sluga spašen. Ako li plane gnjevom, znaj da je čvrsto naumio da me pogubi.
8 So, then, be kind to your servant; for you have been united with your servant in an agreement made before the Lord: but if there is any wrongdoing in me, put me to death yourself; why take me to your father?
Iskaži, dakle, milost svome sluzi kad si slugu svoga uveo sa sobom u savez Jahvin. Ali ako ima kakva krivica na meni, ubij me sam; zašto bi me vodio k svome ocu?”
9 And Jonathan said, Do not have such a thought: for if I saw that my father was designing evil against you, would I not give you word of it?
A Jonatan mu odgovori: “Daleko od tebe ta misao! Kad bih ja pouzdano znao da je moj otac čvrsto naumio da na tebe svali nesreću, zar ti ja ne bih dojavio?”
10 Then David said to Jonathan, Who will give me word if your father gives you a rough answer?
David upita Jonatana: “A tko će mi javiti ako ti tvoj otac odgovori što zlo?”
11 And Jonathan said to David, Come, let us go out into the country. And the two of them went out together into the open country.
Jonatan odgovori Davidu: “Hodi, izađimo u polje!” I izađu obojica u polje.
12 And Jonathan said to David, May the Lord, the God of Israel, be witness; when I have had a chance of talking to my father, about this time tomorrow, if his feelings to David are good, will I not send and give you the news?
Tada Jonatan reče Davidu: “Jahve, Bog Izraelov, neka mi bude svjedok! Ja ću iskušati svoga oca sutra u ovo doba. Ako bude dobro po Davida, a ja ne pošaljem k tebi da te obavijestim,
13 May the Lord's punishment be on Jonathan, if it is my father's pleasure to do you evil and I do not give you word of it and send you away so that you may go in peace: and may the Lord be with you, as he has been with my father.
neka Jahve učini to zlo Jonatanu i neka mu doda drugo zlo! Ako li mome ocu bude drago da ti učini zlo, javit ću ti i pustit ću te da odeš u miru; i Jahve neka bude s tobom kao što je bio s mojim ocem!
14 And may you, while I am still living, O may you be kind to me, as the Lord is kind, and keep me from death!
Ako ja još budem živ, moći ćeš mi iskazati milosrđe Jahvino; ako li umrem,
15 And let not your mercy ever be cut off from my family, even when the Lord has sent destruction on all David's haters, cutting them off from the face of the earth.
ne uskrati svoje dobrote mome domu dovijeka! Kad Jahve redom iskorijeni Davidove neprijatelje s lica zemlje,
16 And if it comes about that the name of Jonathan is cut off from the family of David, the Lord will make David responsible.
neka ime Jonatanovo ne iščezne s domom Šaulovim, inače će Jahve tražiti o tome račun od Davida.”
17 And Jonathan again took an oath to David, because of his love for him: for David was as dear to him as his very soul.
Tada se Jonatan još jednom zakune Davidu ljubavlju svojom, jer ga je ljubio svom ljubavlju duše svoje.
18 Then Jonathan said to him, Tomorrow is the new moon: and it will be seen that you are not present, for there will be no one in your seat.
Potom reče Jonatan Davidu: “Sutra je mladi mjesec i opazit će se da te nema, jer će tvoje mjesto biti prazno.
19 And on the third day it will be specially noted, and you will go to the place where you took cover when the other business was in hand, waiting by the hill over there.
Prekosutra će se još očitije vidjeti da te nema, a ti dođi na mjesto gdje si se bio sakrio u dan onoga događaja i sjedni kraj onoga humka što ga znaš.
20 And on the third day I will send arrows from my bow against its side as if at a mark.
A ja ću prekosutra izmetati strijele na onu stranu kao da gađam onamo.
21 And I will send my boy to have a look for the arrow. And if I say to him, See, the arrow is on this side of you; take it up! then you may come; for there is peace for you and no evil, by the living Lord.
A onda ću poslati momka i reći mu: 'Idi! Nađi strijelu!' Ako onda doviknem momku: 'Pazi, strijela je ovamo bliže od tebe, donesi je!' - ti onda dođi, jer je za tebe dobro i nema nikakve opasnosti, tako mi Jahve živoga!
22 But if I say to the boy, See, the arrow has gone past you: then go on your way, for the Lord has sent you away.
Ako li doviknem momku: 'Pazi, strijela je onamo dalje od tebe!' - ti onda otiđi, jer te Jahve šalje odavde.
23 As for what you and I were talking of, the Lord is between you and me for ever.
A za ovaj dogovor što smo ga ugovorili ja i ti neka je Jahve svjedok između mene i tebe dovijeka!”
24 So David went to a secret place in the country: and when the new moon came, the king took his place at the feast.
Potom se David sakri u polju. Kad je došao mlađak, kralj je sjeo za stol da jede.
25 And the king took his seat, as at other times, by the wall: and Jonathan was in front, and Abner was seated by Saul's side, but there was no one in David's seat.
Kralj sjede na svoje obično mjesto, na mjesto uza zid, Jonatan se smjesti sučelice njemu, Abner sjede kraj Šaula, a Davidovo mjesto osta prazno.
26 But Saul said nothing that day, for his thought was, Something has taken place making him unclean; it is clear that he is not clean.
Ali Šaul ne reče ništa onaj dan jer mišljaše: “Dogodilo mu se štogod, bit će da nije čist.”
27 And on the day after the new moon, that is, the second day, there was still no one in David's seat: and Saul said to his son Jonathan, Why has the son of Jesse not come to the feast yesterday or today?
Sutradan iza mladog mjeseca, drugi dan u mjesecu, opet Davidovo mjesto osta prazno, i Šaul upita svoga sina Jonatana: “Zašto Jišajev sin nije došao na objed ni jučer ni danas?”
28 And answering Saul, Jonathan said, He made a request to me that he might go to Beth-lehem,
A Jonatan odgovori Šaulu: “David me uporno molio da ga pustim da ide u Betlehem.
29 Saying, Our family is making an offering in the town, and my brothers have given me orders to be there: so now, if I have grace in your eyes, let me go away and see my brothers. This is why he has not come to the king's table.
Rekao mi je: 'Pusti me da idem jer slavimo obiteljsku žrtvu u mom gradu i moja su me braća pozvala da dođem. Ako sam, dakle, stekao tvoju naklonost, daj mi dopust da pohodim svoju braću.' Eto, zato ga nema kod kraljeva stola.”
30 Then Saul was moved to wrath against Jonathan, and he said to him, You son of an evil and uncontrolled woman, have I not seen how you have given your love to the son of Jesse, to your shame and the shame of your mother?
Tada Šaul planu gnjevom na Jonatana i reče mu: “Izrode i propalico! Misliš da ne znam da si u savezu s Jišajevim sinom, na sramotu svoju i na sramotu majčinu krilu!
31 For while the son of Jesse is living on the earth, your position is unsafe and your kingdom is in danger. So make him come here to me, for it is certainly right for him to be put to death.
Jer dokle god bude živ na zemlji Jišajev sin, nećeš biti siguran ni ti ni tvoje kraljevstvo. Zato sad pošalji po njega i dovedi ga k meni jer je osuđen na smrt.”
32 And Jonathan, answering his father Saul, said to him, Why is he to be put to death? What has he done?
A Jonatan odvrati svome ocu Šaulu i reče mu: “Zašto on mora umrijeti? Što je učinio?”
33 And Saul, pointing his spear at him, made an attempt to give him a wound: from which it was clear to Jonathan that his father's purpose was to put David to death.
Tada Šaul izmetnu koplje na sina da ga probode. Jonatan vidje da je njegov otac odlučio da ubije Davida.
34 So Jonathan got up from the table, burning with wrath, and took no part in the feast the second day of the month, being full of grief for David because his father had put shame on him.
Jonatan ustade od stola sav jarostan i nije jeo ništa toga drugog dana u mjesecu jer se zabrinuo za Davida što ga je njegov otac pogrdio.
35 Now in the morning, Jonathan went out into the fields at the time he had said to David, and he had a little boy with him.
Sutradan ujutro izađe Jonatan u polje prema dogovoru s Davidom; s njim je išao mlad momak.
36 And he said to the boy, Go and get the arrow I let loose from my bow. And while the boy was running, he sent an arrow past him.
I on reče svome momku: “Ti ćeš otrčati i naći strijele koje ću sada izmetnuti.” I momak otrča, a Jonatan odape strijelu tako da je preletjela preko njega.
37 And when the boy came to the place where the arrow was, Jonathan, crying out after the boy, said, Has it not gone past you?
Kad je momak došao do mjesta gdje je bila strijela koju je izbacio Jonatan, viknu Jonatan za momkom: “Nije li strijela onamo dalje od tebe?”
38 And Jonathan went on crying out after the boy, Be quick, do not keep waiting about, go quickly. And Jonathan's boy got the arrow and came back to his master.
Još Jonatan viknu za momkom: “Brže! Požuri se! Ne stoj!” Jonatanov momak diže strijelu i donese je svome gospodaru.
39 But the boy had no idea what was going on; only Jonathan and David had knowledge of it.
Momak nije ništa opazio, samo su Jonatan i David znali o čemu se radi.
40 And Jonathan gave his bow and arrows to the boy, and said to him, Take these and go back to the town.
Nato Jonatan preda oružje momku i reče mu: “Idi i odnesi to u grad!”
41 And when the boy had gone, David came from his secret place by the hill, and falling to the earth went down on his face three times: and they gave one another a kiss, weeping together, till David's grief was the greater.
Kad je momak otišao, David iziđe iza humka, pade ničice na zemlju i pokloni se tri puta. Potom se izljubiše i plakahu zajedno dok se nisu isplakali.
42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, for we two have taken an oath, in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord will be between me and you, and between my seed and your seed for ever. Then David went away, and Jonathan went into the town.
Zatim Jonatan reče Davidu: “Idi u miru! Što smo se obojica zakleli Jahvinim imenom, neka Jahve bude svjedok između mene i tebe, između moga potomstva i tvoga potomstva dovijeka!” Nato David usta i ode, a Jonatan se vrati u grad.
