< 1 Samuel 13 >

1 Saul was...years old when he became king; and he reigned two years over Israel.
Savel je kraljeval eno leto in ko je nad Izraelom kraljeval dve leti,
2 And Saul chose him three thousand men out of Israel: there were with Saul two thousand in Michmash and in mount Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin; and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
si je Savel izbral tri tisoč mož iz Izraela, od katerih jih je bilo dva tisoč s Savlom v Mihmášu in na gori Betel, tisoč pa jih je bilo z Jonatanom v Benjaminovi Gíbei, preostanek ljudstva pa je poslal vsakega moža k svojemu šotoru.
3 And Jonathan smote the outpost of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard [of it]. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
Jonatan je udaril garnizijo Filistejcev, ki je bila v Gebi in Filistejci so slišali o tem. Savel pa je zatrobil na šofar po vsej deželi, rekoč: »Naj Hebrejci slišijo.«
4 And all Israel heard say, Saul has smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and Israel also has become odious to the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.
Ves Izrael je slišal govoriti, da je Savel udaril garnizijo Filistejcev in da je bil tudi Izrael v ogabnost Filistejcem. In ljudstvo je bilo sklicano skupaj za Savlom v Gilgál.
5 And the Philistines were assembled together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea-shore in multitude; and they came up, and encamped in Michmash, eastward from Beth-Aven.
Filistejci so se zbrali skupaj, da se bojujejo z Izraelom, trideset tisoč bojnih vozov, šest tisoč konjenikov in ljudstva v obilju, kakor je peska na morski obali. Prišli so gor in se utaborili v Mihmášu, vzhodno od Bet Avena.
6 And the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were distressed); and the people hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in cliffs, and in strongholds, and in pits.
Ko so možje iz Izraela videli, da so bili v škripcu (kajti ljudje so bili zelo stiskani), potem so se ljudje skrili v votlinah, v goščavah, v skalah, na visokih krajih in v jamah.
7 And the Hebrews went over the Jordan into the land of Gad and Gilead. And Saul was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
Nekateri izmed Hebrejcev so odšli preko Jordana k deželi Gada in Gileáda. Glede Savla, on je bil še vedno v Gilgálu in vse ljudstvo mu je trepetajoč sledilo.
8 And he waited seven days, according to the set time that Samuel [had appointed]; but Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
Zadrževal se je sedem dni, glede na določeni čas, ki ga je Samuel določil. Toda Samuel ni prišel v Gilgál, ljudstvo pa je bilo razkropljeno od njega.
9 And Saul said, Bring hither to me the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings. And he offered up the burnt-offering.
Savel je rekel: »Prinesite sèm k meni žgalno daritev in mirovne daritve.« In daroval je žgalno daritev.
10 And it came to pass, as soon as he had ended offering up the burnt-offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
Pripetilo se je, da takoj, ko je končal daritev žgalne daritve, glej, je prišel Samuel. Savel je odšel ven, da ga sreča, da bi ga lahko pozdravil.
11 And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou didst not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines were assembled at Michmash,
Samuel je rekel: »Kaj si storil?« Savel je rekel: »Ker sem videl, da je bilo ljudstvo razkropljeno proč od mene in da ti nisi prišel v določenih dneh in da so se Filistejci zbrali skupaj pri Mihmášu,
12 I said, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to Jehovah; and I forced myself, and offered up the burnt-offering.
sem zato rekel: ›Filistejci bodo sedaj prišli nadme dol v Gilgál, jaz pa nisem naredil ponižne prošnje h Gospodu.‹ Zato sem se prisilil in daroval žgalno daritev.«
13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of Jehovah thy God which he commanded thee; for now would Jehovah have established thy kingdom over Israel for ever.
Samuel je rekel Savlu: »Storil si nespametno. Nisi se držal zapovedi Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki ti jo je zapovedal, kajti sedaj bi Gospod na veke utrdil tvoje kraljestvo nad Izraelom.
14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: Jehovah has sought him a man after his own heart, and Jehovah has appointed him ruler over his people; for thou hast not kept what Jehovah commanded thee.
Toda sedaj tvoje kraljestvo ne bo trajalo. Gospod si je poiskal moža po svojem lastnem srcu in Gospod mu je zapovedal, da bi bil poveljnik nad njegovim ljudstvom, ker se ti nisi držal tega, kar ti je Gospod zapovedal.«
15 And Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were found with him, about six hundred men.
Samuel je vstal in se iz Gilgála povzpel v Benjaminovo Gíbeo. Savel je preštel ljudstvo, ki je bilo prisotno z njim, približno šeststo mož.
16 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were found with them, abode in Geba of Benjamin; and the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
Savel, njegov sin Jonatan in ljudstvo, ki je bilo prisotno z njima, je ostalo v Benjaminovi Gíbei, toda Filistejci so taborili v Mihmášu.
17 And the ravagers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned the way of Ophrah, into the land of Shual;
Iz tabora Filistejcev so prišli plenilci v treh skupinah. Ena skupina se je obrnila k poti, ki vodi v Ofro, v deželo Šuál.
18 and another company turned the way to Beth-horon; and the other company turned the way to the district that looks over the ravine of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
Druga skupina se je obrnila k poti do Bet Horóna. [Še] druga skupina se je obrnila k poti meje, ki je obrnjena k dolini Cebojím, proti divjini.
19 Now there was no smith found throughout the land of Israel; for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears.
Torej po vsej Izraelovi deželi ni bilo najti kovača, kajti Filistejci so rekli: »Da si ne bi Hebrejci naredili mečev ali sulic, «
20 And all Israel went down to the Philistines, every man to get his ploughshare, and his hoe, and his axe, and his sickle sharpened,
temveč so vsi Izraelci hodili dol k Filistejcem, da si nabrusijo vsak mož svoj nož pri plugu, svoje črtalo pluga, svojo sekiro in svojo motiko.
21 when the edges of the sickles, and the hoes, and the forks, and the axes were blunted; and to set the goads.
Vendar so imeli pilo za motike, za črtala plugov, za vile, za sekire in da naostrijo palice z bodico.
22 And it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan; but with Saul and with Jonathan his son there was found.
Tako se je na dan bitke pripetilo, da ni bilo najti niti meča niti sulice v roki kateregakoli izmed ljudstva, ki so bili s Savlom in Jonatanom. Toda najti ju je bilo pri Savlu in njegovem sinu Jonatanu.
23 And a garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash.
Garnizija Filistejcev je odšla ven k prehodu Mihmáša.
