1 Samuel 24
1 When Saul returned from chasing the Philistines, it was reported to him, “David is in the Desert of En-gedi.”
Pripetilo se je, ko se je Savel vrnil iz zasledovanja Filistejcev, da mu je bilo povedano, rekoč: »Glej, David je v divjini En Gedi.«
2 So Saul took three thousand specially-picked men from all Israel and went searching for David and his men in the area around Wild Goats' Rocks.
Potem je Savel vzel tri tisoč izbranih mož iz vsega Izraela in odšel, da poišče Davida in njegove ljudi na skalah divjih koz.
3 As Saul passed the sheep pens on the way, there was a cave, and he went in to relieve himself. David and his men were hiding deep inside the cave.
Ob poti je prišel k stajam za ovce, kjer je bila votlina in Savel je šel noter, da pokrije svoja stopala. David in njegovi možje pa so ostajali ob straneh votline.
4 David's men said to him, “Today's the day the Lord promised you when he told you, ‘Listen, I'm going to hand over your enemy to you, so you can do to him whatever you want.’” Then David crept up quietly and cut a piece from the edge of Saul's robe.
Davidovi možje so mu rekli: »Glej, dan, o katerem ti je rekel Gospod: ›Glej, tvojega sovražnika bom izročil v tvojo roko, da mu boš lahko storil, kakor se ti zdi dobro.‹« Potem je David vstal in na skrivnem odsekal krajec Savlovega svečanega oblačila.
5 But afterwards David felt really bad because he'd cut off a piece of Saul's robe.
Pripetilo se je potem, da ga je Davidovo srce udarilo, ker je odsekal krajec Savlovega oblačila.
6 He told his men, “May the Lord prevent me from doing anything like this to my master, the Lord's anointed one. I will never attack him, for he is the Lord's anointed one.”
Svojim možem je rekel: » Gospod ne daj, da bi storil tako stvar svojemu gospodarju, Gospodovemu maziljencu, da iztegnem svojo roko zoper njega, ker je maziljen od Gospoda.«
7 He reprimanded his men and didn't allow them to attack Saul. Saul stood up and went on his way.
Tako je David s temi besedami zadržal svoje služabnike in jim ni pustil, da vstanejo zoper Savla. Toda Savel je vstal iz votline in odšel na svojo pot.
8 A little later David came out of the cave and shouted, “My master the king!” When Saul looked around, David bowed down with his face to the ground.
Potem je tudi David vstal in šel ven iz votline in zaklical za Savlom, rekoč: »Moj gospod kralj.« Ko je Savel pogledal za seboj, se je David sklonil s svojim obrazom k zemlji in se priklonil.
9 “Why do you pay attention to people who say, ‘Watch out, David wants to harm you’?” David asked.
David je rekel Savlu: »Zakaj poslušaš besede ljudi, govoreč: ›Glej, David išče tvoje zlo?‹
10 “Just look! You've seen with your own eyes today that the Lord handed you over to me in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I showed you compassion, and said, ‘I refuse to attack my master, for he is the Lord's anointed one.’
Glej, ta dan so tvoje oči videle, kako te je Gospod v votlini izročil v mojo roko. Nekateri so mi zaukazali, naj te usmrtim, toda moje oko ti je prizaneslo. Rekel sem: ›Ne bom iztegnil svoje roke zoper svojega gospoda, kajti on je Gospodov maziljenec.‹
11 Take a look, my father! You see this piece of your robe I'm holding. Yes, I did I cut it off, but I didn't kill you. Now you can see for yourself and you can be sure that I have done nothing evil or rebellious. I have not sinned against you, but you are hunting me down, trying to kill me.
Poleg tega, moj oče, glej, da, poglej krajec svojega svečanega oblačila v moji roki, kajti v tem, da sem odsekal krajec tvojega svečanega oblačila in te nisem usmrtil, vedi in vidi, da v moji roki ni niti zla niti prestopka in nisem grešil zoper tebe, vendar ti loviš mojo dušo, da jo vzameš.
12 May the Lord decide between you and me as to who of us is right, and may the Lord punish you, but I myself will never try to harm you.
Gospod sodi med menoj in teboj in Gospod naj me maščuje nad teboj, toda moja roka ne bo nad teboj.
13 As the old saying goes, ‘From the wicked comes wickedness,’ but I myself will never try to harm you.
Kakor pravi pregovor starcev: ›Zlobnost izvira od zlobnih, ‹ toda moja roka ne bo nad teboj.
14 Who is the king of Israel coming after? Who are you chasing? A dead dog! Just a flea!
Za kom je Izraelov kralj prišel ven? Za kom tečeš? Za mrtvim psom, za bolho.
15 May the Lord decide and choose between you and me. May he pay attention to my case and support it; may he save me from you.”
Gospod naj bo torej sodnik in sodi med menoj in teboj in gleda in zagovarja mojo pravdo in me osvobodi iz tvoje roke.«
16 After David finished saying this, Saul asked, “Is that you speaking, David my son?” and he wept out loud.
Pripetilo se je, ko je David Savlu prenehal govoriti te besede, da je Savel rekel: » Ali je to tvoj glas, moj sin David?« Savel je povzdignil svoj glas in zajokal.
17 He told David, “You are a better person than I am, because you have repaid me with good, but I have repaid you with evil.
Davidu je rekel: »Pravičnejši si kakor jaz, kajti nagradil si mi dobro, medtem ko sem ti jaz nagradil zlo.
18 Today you have demonstrated how well you have treated me—for when the Lord handed me over to you, you didn't kill me.
Danes si pokazal, kako dobro si ravnal z menoj, ker ko me je Gospod izročil v tvojo roko, me nisi ubil.
19 For if a man caught hold of his enemy, would he let him escape unharmed? The Lord reward you well for how you've treated me today.
Kajti če človek najde svojega sovražnika ali ga bo pustil sproščeno oditi? Zato [naj] te Gospod dobro nagradi za to, kar si mi ta dan storil.
20 Listen, I know you definitely will be king, and your rule over the kingdom of Israel will be secure.
Sedaj glej, dobro vem, da boš zagotovo postal kralj in da bo Izraelovo kraljestvo utrjeno v tvoji roki.
21 Now swear to me by the Lord that you will not destroy my descendants who follow me, and that you will not wipe out my name from my family line.”
Prisezi mi torej sedaj pri Gospodu, da ne boš iztrebil mojega semena za menoj in da ne boš uničil mojega imena iz hiše mojega očeta.«
22 So David promised this to Saul with an oath. Then Saul went back home, but David and his men returned to the stronghold.
David je prisegel Savlu. Savel je odšel domov, toda David in njegovi možje so se povzpeli na utrjen kraj.
