1 Samuel 14
1 And it happened that, on a certain day, Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the youth who bore his armor, “Come, and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines, which is across from that place.” But he did not reveal this to his father.
Jednoga dana Šaulov sin Jonatan reče svome momku štitonoši: “Hajde da prijeđemo do filistejske straže koja je ondje prijeko.” Svome ocu nije ništa o tom javio.
2 Moreover, Saul was staying in the furthermost part of Gibeah, below the pomegranate tree that was at Migron. And the people with him were about six hundred men.
Šaul je sjedio na međi Gebe, pod šipkom koji je stajao kraj gumna; a bilo je s njim oko šest stotina ljudi.
3 And Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, the brother of Ichabod, the son of Phinehas, who had been born of Eli, the priest of the Lord at Shiloh, wore the ephod. But the people did not know where Jonathan had gone.
A Ahija, sin Ahituba, brata Ikaboda, sina Pinhasa, sina Elija, svećenika Jahvina u Šilu, nosio je u to vrijeme oplećak. Narod nije primijetio da je Jonatan otišao.
4 Now there were, between the ascents along which Jonathan strove to cross to the garrison of the Philistines, rocks projecting from both sides, and, in the manner of teeth, boulders breaking out from one side and the other. The name of one was Shining, and the name of the other was Thorny.
U sredini klanca kuda je Jonatan htio prijeći da dođe do filistejske straže bila je litica s jedne strane i litica s druge strane. Jedna se zvala Boses, a druga Sene.
5 One boulder projected toward the north, opposite Michmash, and the other toward the south, opposite Gibeah.
Prva je litica stajala na sjeveru nasuprot Mikmasu, a druga na jugu nasuprot Gebi.
6 Then Jonathan said to the youth who bore his armor: “Come, let us go across to the garrison of these uncircumcised. And perhaps the Lord may act on our behalf. For it is not difficult for the Lord to save, either by many, or by few.”
Jonatan reče svome štitonoši: “Hajde da prijeđemo do straže onih neobrezanika. Možda će Jahve učiniti nešto za nas, jer ništa ne priječi Jahvu da udijeli pobjedu - bilo mnogo ljudi ili malo.”
7 And his armor bearer said to him: “Do all that is pleasing to your soul. Go wherever you wish, and I will be with you, wherever you will choose.”
A štitonoša mu odgovori: “Čini sve na što te srce tvoje potiče. Ja ću s tobom, moje je srce kao tvoje srce.”
8 And Jonathan said: “Behold, we will cross over to these men. And when we will be seen by them,
Jonatan mu reče: “Evo, prijeći ćemo k tim ljudima i pokazat ćemo im se.
9 if they have spoken to us in this way, ‘Stay until we come to you,’ let us stand still in our place, and not ascend to them.
Ako nam reknu ovako: 'Ne mičite se dok ne dođemo do vas', tada ćemo se ustaviti na mjestu i nećemo se uspinjati k njima.
10 But if they will say, ‘Ascend to us,’ let us ascend. For the Lord has delivered them into our hands. This will be the sign to us.”
Ako li nam reknu ovako: 'Uspnite se k nama', tada ćemo se uspeti, jer ih je Jahve predao nama u ruke. To će nam biti znak.”
11 And so, both of them appeared before the garrison of the Philistines. And the Philistines said, “See, the Hebrews have come out from the holes in which they had been hiding.”
Kad su se obojica pokazala filistejskoj straži, rekoše Filistejci: “Gle, Hebreji su počeli izlaziti iz rupa u koje su se skrili.”
12 And the men of the garrison spoke to Jonathan and to his armor bearer, and they said, “Ascend to us, and we will show you something.” And Jonathan said to his armor bearer: “Let us ascend. Follow me. For the Lord has delivered them into the hands of Israel.”
I stražari doviknuše Jonatanu i njegovu štitonoši: “Uspnite se k nama da vas nešto naučimo!” A Jonatan reče svome štitonoši: “Penji se za mnom, jer ih je Jahve predao u ruke Izraelove.”
13 Then Jonathan ascended, crawling on his hands and feet, and his armor bearer after him. And then, some fell before Jonathan, others his armor bearer killed as he was following him.
Jonatan se poče penjati pomažući se rukama i nogama, a za njim njegov štitonoša. Filistejci su padali pred Jonatanom, a njegov ih je štitonoša ubijao za njim.
14 And the first slaughter was made when Jonathan and his armor bearer struck down about twenty of the men, in the midst of an area of land that a yoke of oxen would usually plow in a day.
U tome prvom pokolju što ga učiniše Jonatan i njegov štitonoša pade dvadesetak ljudi na otprilike pola jutra izoranog polja.
15 And a miracle occurred in the camp, out in the fields. And all of the people of their garrison, who had gone out in order to plunder, were stupefied. And the earth trembled. And it happened as a miracle from God.
Tada se proširi strah po taboru i po polju, a i stražare i četu pljačkaša obuze strava; i zemlja zadrhta i bijaše to silan strah Božji.
16 And the watchmen of Saul, who were at Gibeah of Benjamin, looked out, and behold, a multitude was thrown down and dispersed, this way and that.
A Šaulovi stražari u Benjaminovoj Gebi opaziše da se mnoštvo u taboru uskomešalo na sve strane.
17 And Saul said to the people who were with him, “Inquire and see who has gone out from us.” And when they had inquired, it was found that Jonathan and his armor bearer were not present.
I Šaul reče ljudima koji su bili s njim: “Prozovite ljude i vidite tko je otišao od nas.” A kad prozvaše, gle, ne bijaše Jonatana i njegova štitonoše!
18 And Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the ark of the God.” (For the ark of God was, in that day, with the sons of Israel in that place.)
Tada Šaul reče Ahiji: “Primakni oplećak! Posavjetuj se s Jahvom!” On je, naime, tada nosio oplećak pred sinovima Izraelovim.
19 And while Saul spoke to the priest, there arose a great tumult in the camp of the Philistines. And it was increasing, little by little, and it was being heard more clearly. And Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand.”
Ali dok je Šaul govorio sa svećenikom, bivala je buka u filistejskom taboru sve veća, pa Šaul reče svećeniku: “Povuci ruku!”
20 Then Saul, and all the people who were with him, cried out together, and they went to the place of the conflict. And behold, each one’s sword had been turned against his neighbor, and there was a very great slaughter.
Nato Šaul i sav narod što je bio s njim krenuše zajedno na mjesto boja, i gle, ondje bijahu isukali mačeve jedni na druge i velika pomutnja vladaše među njima.
21 Moreover, the Hebrews who had been with the Philistines yesterday and the day before, and who had ascended with them into the camp, turned back so that they might be with those of Israel who were with Saul and Jonathan.
A oni Hebreji koji su već poodavno bili u službi Filistejaca i sada pošli s njima na vojsku, odmetnuše se od njih i pristadoše uz Izraelce koji bijahu sa Šaulom i Jonatanom.
22 Likewise, all the Israelites who had hidden themselves on mount Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines had fled, joined themselves with their own in the battle. And there were with Saul about ten thousand men.
I svi Izraelci koji se bijahu sakrili u Efrajimovoj gori, čuvši da Filistejci bježe, nagrnuše za njima u boj.
23 And the Lord saved Israel on that day. But the fight continued as far as Bethaven.
Tako je Jahve udijelio pobjedu Izraelu u onaj dan, a boj se raširio sve do preko Bet Horona.
24 And the men of Israel were joined together on that day. And Saul made the people swear, saying, “Cursed be the man who will eat bread, until evening, until I am avenged of my enemies.” And the entire people did not consume bread.
Izraelci su onog dana bili vrlo izmoreni, jer je Šaul izrekao nad narodom ovu zakletvu: “Proklet bio čovjek koji okusi hrane prije večeri, prije nego što se osvetim svojim neprijateljima!” Tako sav narod ne okusi hrane toga dana.
25 And all the common people went into a forest, in which there was honey on the surface of the field.
Ali je ondje bilo medenoga saća na površini zemlje.
26 And so the people entered the forest, and there appeared flowing honey, but no one drew his hand near his mouth. For the people were afraid of the oath.
Kad je narod došao onamo, vidje gdje teče med, ali nitko ne prinese ruke k ustima, jer se narod bojao zakletve.
27 But Jonathan had not heard that his father had bound the people to an oath. And so he extended the top of the staff that he was holding in his hand, and he dipped it in a honeycomb. And he turned his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were brightened.
Samo Jonatan, koji nije čuo kad je njegov otac zakleo narod, primače vrh štapa koji mu bijaše u ruci i zamoči ga u medeno saće, zatim prinese ruku k ustima; i odmah mu se zasvijetliše oči.
28 And in response, one of the people said, “Your father has bound the people by an oath, saying: ‘Cursed be the man who will eat any bread this day.’” (For the people were faint.)
Tada jedan iz naroda progovori i reče mu: “Tvoj je otac zakleo narod govoreći: 'Proklet bio onaj koji okusi hrane danas!'”
29 And Jonathan said: “My father has troubled the land. You have seen for yourselves that my eyes were brightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.
A Jonatan odgovori: “Moj otac svaljuje nesreću na zemlju. Gledajte kako su mi se zasvijetlile oči jer sam okusio malo toga meda.
30 How much more so, if the people had eaten from the plunder that they find with their enemies? Would not a greater slaughter have been accomplished among the Philistines?”
Što bi tek bilo da je narod slobodno jeo od plijena koji je zadobio od neprijatelja? Ne bi li filistejski poraz bio još veći?”
31 Therefore, on that day, they struck down the Philistines, from Michmash as far as Aijalon. But the people were exceedingly wearied.
Onoga dana potukoše Filistejce od Mikmasa sve do Ajalona, a narod je bio na kraju svojih snaga.
32 And turning to the spoils, they took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and they slew them on the ground. And the people ate with blood.
Tada se narod baci na plijen, nahvata sitne stoke, goveda i teladi i poče ih klati na goloj zemlji i jesti meso s krvlju.
33 Then they reported to Saul, saying that the people had sinned against the Lord, eating with blood. And he said: “You have transgressed. Roll a great stone to me, here and now.”
I javiše to Šaulu govoreći: “Gle, narod griješi Jahvi jedući meso s krvlju!” A on reče: “Iznevjeriste se! Dovaljajte mi ovamo velik kamen!”
34 And Saul said: “Disperse yourselves among the common people, and tell each one of them to bring to me his ox and his ram, and to slay them upon this stone, and to eat, so that you will not sin against the Lord, in eating with blood.” And so, each one, out of all the people, brought his ox, by his own hand, throughout the night. And they slew them there.
Zatim reče: “Zađite među narod i recite svima neka svaki dovede k meni svoga vola ili ovcu; ovdje ćete ih klati i jesti, a nećete griješiti Jahvi jedući meso s krvlju.” Tako sav narod još iste noći dovede što je tko imao i to su ondje klali.
35 Then Saul built an altar to the Lord. And so, it was then that he first began to build an altar to the Lord.
A Šaul podiže žrtvenik Jahvi; bijaše to prvi žrtvenik koji je podigao Jahvi.
36 And Saul said: “Let us fall upon the Philistines by night, and lay waste to them even until the morning light. And let us not leave behind a man among them.” And the people said, “Do all that seems good in your eyes.” And the priest said, “Let us draw near to God in this place.”
Nato reče Šaul: “Pođimo još noćas u potjeru za Filistejcima i plijenimo ih dok ne svane jutro! Nećemo im ostaviti nijednoga čovjeka!” A narod mu odgovori: “Čini sve što misliš da je dobro!” Ali svećenik reče: “Pristupimo ovdje k Bogu!”
37 And Saul consulted the Lord: “Shall I pursue the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hands of Israel?” And he did not respond to him on that day.
I Šaul upita Boga: “Moram li poći u potjeru za Filistejcima? Hoćeš li ih predati u ruke Izraelu?” Ali mu ne odgovori u onaj dan.
38 And Saul said: “Bring here every single leader of the people. And we shall know and see by whom this sin was committed this day.
Zato Šaul reče: “Pristupite ovamo, svi narodni glavari! Ispitajte i vidite u čemu je bio današnji prestupak.
39 As the Lord lives, who is the Savior of Israel, even if it were done by my son Jonathan, without retraction he shall die.” In this, no one among all the people contradicted him.
Jer, živoga mi Jahve, koji daje pobjedu Izraelu, ako se nađe krivnja ma i na mome sinu Jonatanu, mora umrijeti!” Ali nitko se iz naroda ne usudi odgovoriti Šaulu.
40 And he said to all of Israel, “Separate yourselves on one side, and I, with my son Jonathan, will be on the other side.” And the people responded to Saul, “Do what seems good in your eyes.”
Šaul onda reče svemu Izraelu: “Vi stanite na jednu stranu, a ja i moj sin Jonatan stat ćemo na drugu stranu.” A narod odgovori Šaulu: “Čini ono što misliš da je dobro!”
41 And Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel: “O Lord, God of Israel, grant a sign: Why is it that you will not respond to your servant this day? If this iniquity is in me, or in my son Jonathan, grant an indication. Or if this iniquity is in your people, grant a sanctification.” And Jonathan and Saul were discovered, but the people were released.
Tada se Šaul pomoli: “Jahve, Bože Izraelov, zašto nisi danas odgovorio svome sluzi? Ako je krivnja na meni ili na mome sinu Jonatanu, Jahve, Bože Izraelov, daj Urim; ako li je krivnja na tvom narodu Izraelu, daj Tumim.” I ždrijeb pade na Šaula i Jonatana, a narod izađe slobodan.
42 And Saul said, “Cast lots between myself and Jonathan, my son.” And Jonathan was caught.
Šaul nastavi: “Bacite ždrijeb između mene i moga sina Jonatana!” I ždrijeb pade na Jonatana.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.” And Jonathan revealed to him, and said: “Truly, I tasted a little honey with the top of the staff that was in my hand. And behold, I shall die.”
Tada Šaul reče Jonatanu: “Priznaj mi što si učinio!” Jonatan odgovori: “Ja sam samo okusio malo meda vrškom štapa koji mi bijaše u ruci. Evo me, spreman sam umrijeti!”
44 And Saul said, “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things, for you shall surely die, Jonathan!”
Šaul odgovori: “Tako mi Bog učinio zlo i dodao mi drugo ako doista ne umreš, Jonatane!”
45 And the people said to Saul: “Why should Jonathan have to die, who has accomplished this great salvation in Israel? This is wrong. As the Lord lives, not one hair of his head should fall to the ground. For he has wrought with God this day.” Therefore, the people freed Jonathan, so that he would not die.
Ali narod reče Šaulu: “Zar da umre Jonatan, koji je izvojevao ovu veliku pobjedu u Izraelu? Ne smije to biti! Živoga nam Jahve, nijedna vlas neće pasti s njegove glave na zemlju jer je on s Bogom izvršio ovo djelo danas!” Tako ga narod izbavi te Jonatan ne pogibe.
46 And Saul withdrew, and he did not pursue the Philistines. And the Philistines went away to their own places.
Šaul odusta od potjere za Filistejcima, a Filistejci se vratiše u svoj kraj.
47 And Saul, his kingdom having been confirmed over Israel, was fighting against all his enemies on all sides: against Moab, and the sons of Ammon, and Edom, and the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. And wherever he turned himself, he was successful.
Kad je Šaul učvrstio svoju kraljevsku vlast nad Izraelom, okrenu ratovati protiv svih svojih neprijatelja unaokolo: protiv Moaba, protiv Amonaca, protiv Edoma, protiv Bet Rehoba, protiv kralja Sobe i protiv Filistejaca; kuda god bi se okrenuo, svuda bi pobjeđivao.
48 And gathering together an army, he struck Amalek. And he rescued Israel from the hand of those who would lay waste to them.
Dao je mnogo dokaza svoje hrabrosti, potukao je Amalečane i izbavio Izraela iz ruku onih koji su ga pljačkali.
49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua. And as for the names of his two daughters: the name of the firstborn daughter was Merab, and the name of the younger one was Michal.
Šaulovi sinovi bijahu Jonatan, Išjo i Malki-Šua, a od njegovih dviju kćeri starija se zvala Meraba, a mlađa Mikala.
50 And the name of the wife of Saul was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the first ruler of his military was Abner, the son of Ner, the first cousin of Saul.
Šaulova se žena zvala Ahinoama, a bila je kći Ahimaasova. Vojvoda njegove vojske zvao se Abner, a bio je sin Nera, Šaulova strica.
51 For Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner was the father of Abner, and the son of Abiel.
Jer Kiš, Šaulov otac, i Ner, Abnerov otac, bijahu sinovi Abielovi.
52 Now there was a powerful war against the Philistines during all the days of Saul. And so, whomever Saul had seen to be a strong man, and fit for battle, he joined him to himself.
Žestok se rat vodio protiv Filistejaca svega Šaulova vijeka. Koga bi god hrabra ili bojovna čovjeka Šaul vidio, svakoga bi uzimao u svoju službu.
