1 Samuel 28
1 And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their camps together for warfare, to fight with Israel; and Achish said unto David, Thou must know that thou shalt go out with me into the camp, thou and thy men.
U ono vrijeme Filistejci skupiše svoje čete za rat protiv Izraela. I Akiš reče Davidu: “Znaj da ćeš ići sa mnom na vojsku, ti i tvoji ljudi!”
2 And David said to Achish, By reason of this wilt thou thyself ascertain what thy servant will do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee the guard of my head for all times.
A David odgovori Akišu: “Dobro! Sad ćeš vidjeti što će učiniti tvoj sluga!” A Akiš odvrati Davidu: “Dobro! Zato ću te postaviti da budeš mojim čuvarom zauvijek.”
3 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city; and Saul had removed those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
Samuel bijaše umro, a sav ga Izrael bijaše oplakao naričući za njim. Ukopali su ga u njegovu gradu Rami. A Šaul bijaše istjerao iz zemlje sve zazivače duhova i vračeve.
4 And the Philistines assembled themselves together, and came and encamped at Shunem: and Saul assembled together all Israel, and they encamped at Gilboa'.
Dok su se Filistejci skupljali te došli i utaborili se kod Šunema, Šaul skupi sve Izraelce te se utabori na Gilboi.
5 And when Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.
Kad Šaul ugleda filistejski tabor, uplaši se i srce mu snažno zadrhta.
6 And Saul asked counsel of the Lord; but the Lord answered him not, either by means of dreams, or by means of the Urim, or by means of the prophets.
Šaul upita za savjet Jahvu, ali mu Jahve ne dade odgovora - ni u snima, ni po Urimu, ni preko proroka.
7 Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek out for me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at 'En-dor.
Zato Šaul reče svojim slugama: “Potražite mi ženu koja zaziva duhove da odem k njoj i upitam je.” A sluge mu odgovoriše: “Evo, u En Doru ima žena koja zaziva duhove.”
8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other garments, and he went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, Divine, I pray thee, unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring up for me the one whom I shall say unto thee.
Tada se Šaul preruši, obuče druge haljine i otputi se sa dva čovjeka. I dođe noću k onoj ženi i reče joj: “Daj mi vračaj pomoću duha i dozovi mi onoga koga ti reknem.”
9 And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou well knowest that which Saul hath done, that he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land; wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?
A žena mu odgovori: “Ta ti znaš što je učinio Šaul i kako je istrijebio iz zemlje zazivače duhova i vračeve. Zašto postavljaš zamke mome životu da me pogubiš?”
10 And Saul swore to her by the Lord, saying, As the Lord liveth, there shall no guilt attach to thee for this thing.
A Šaul joj se zakle Jahvom govoreći: “Tako mi živog Jahve, nećeš biti ništa kriva za ovo!”
11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up for thee? And he said, Samuel thou must bring up for me.
Tada žena zapita: “Koga da ti dozovem?” A on odgovori: “Dozovi mi Samuela!”
12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman said to Saul thus, Why hast thou deceived me? since thou art Saul.
Kad žena ugleda Samuela, povika iza glasa, a onda reče Šaulu: “Zašto si me prevario? Ta ti si Šaul!”
13 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid; however, what hast thou seen? And the woman said unto Saul, A divine being have I seen ascending out of the earth.
A kralj joj odvrati: “Ne boj se! Nego što vidiš?” A žena odgovori Šaulu: “Vidim nešto božansko što se diže iz zemlje.”
14 And he said unto her, What is his form? And she said, An old man is coming up; and he is wrapt in a mantle. And so Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and prostrated himself.
Šaul je upita: “Kakva je obličja?” A ona odgovori: “Izlazi starac, ogrnut plaštem.” Tada Šaul spozna da je to Samuel, pa pade licem do zemlje i pokloni se.
15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am greatly distressed, and the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and hath not answered me any more, either by the agency of the prophets, or by means of dreams; wherefore I have called thee, to make known unto me what I shall do.
Samuel upita Šaula: “Zašto si pomutio moj mir dozivajući me gore?” A Šaul odgovori: “U velikoj sam nevolji jer su Filistejci zavojštili na me, a Bog se okrenuo od mene i ne odgovara mi više ni preko proroka ni u snima. Zato sam dozvao tebe da me poučiš što da činim.”
16 Then said Samuel, And why wilt thou ask me, seeing the Lord is departed from thee, and is become thy enemy?
A Samuel odvrati: “Zašto mene pitaš kad se Jahve odvratio od tebe i postao ti neprijateljem?
17 And the Lord hath done for himself as he hath spoken through my agency; and the Lord hath rent the government out of thy hand, and hath given it to thy associate, to David;
Jahve ti je učinio kako ti je kazao preko mene: istrgao je kraljevstvo iz tvoje ruke i dao ga tvome suparniku, Davidu,
18 As thou didst not obey the voice of the Lord, and didst not execute his fierce wrath upon 'Amalek; therefore hath the Lord done this thing unto thee this day.
jer nisi poslušao riječi Jahvinih i jer nisi izvršio njegova žestokog gnjeva na Amaleku: stoga ti je Jahve danas ovako učinio.
19 And the Lord will deliver also Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines; and tomorrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: also the camp of Israel will the Lord deliver into the hand of the Philistines.
Jahve će predati, zajedno s tobom, i Izraela u filistejske ruke. Sutra ćeš sa svojim sinovima biti sa mnom, a i tabor izraelski Jahve će predati u filistejske ruke.”
20 Then fell Saul hastily with his full length to the earth, and was greatly afraid, because of the words of Samuel: there was also no strength in him; for he had not eaten any food all that day, and all that night.
Šaul se užasnu i pade na zemlju kako je dug. Spopade ga silan strah od Samuelovih riječi. I ponestade mu snage, jer nije ništa jeo cijeli dan i cijelu noć.
21 And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was greatly terrified; and she said unto him, Behold, thy hand-maid hath obeyed thy voice; and I put my life in my hand, and hearkened unto thy words which thou spokest unto me.
Kad ona žena dođe k Šaulu i opazi kako je sav zaplašen, reče mu: “Gle, tvoja je službenica poslušala tvoju riječ, stavila sam svoj život na kocku i poslušala tvoje zapovijedi koje si mi naložio.
22 And now, hearken thou also, I pray thee, unto the voice of thy hand-maid, and let me set before thee a morsel of bread, and eat; that thou mayest have strength when thou goest on the way.
Zato sada poslušaj i ti riječi službenice svoje: dopusti da ti pružim zalogaj kruha; jedi da ti se vrati snaga te uzmogneš poći svojim putem.”
23 But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants urged him much, as also the woman; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.
Ali on ne htjede nego reče: “Neću jesti!” Ali kad ga zaokupiše njegove sluge, zajedno sa ženom, posluša ih, ustade sa zemlje i sjede na postelju.
24 And the woman had a fatted calf in the house; and she hastened, and slaughtered it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread thereof:
Žena je imala kod kuće tele u tovu. Brzo ga zakla, zatim uze brašna, umijesi ga i napeče beskvasnoga kruha.
25 And she brought it near before Saul, and before his servants; and they ate. Then they rose up, and went away that night.
Potom stavi sve pred Šaula i njegove ljude. Pošto su jeli, ustadoše i još iste noći krenuše natrag.
