1 Samuel 18
1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
Pripetilo se je, ko je končal pogovor s Savlom, da se je Jonatanova duša povezala z Davidovo dušo in Jonatan ga je vzljubil kakor svojo lastno dušo.
2 And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father’s house.
Savel ga je ta dan vzel in mu ni več dovolil iti domov, k hiši svojega očeta.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
Potem sta Jonatan in David sklenila zavezo, ker ga je vzljubil kakor svojo lastno dušo.
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his apparel, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
Jonatan si je slekel vrhnje oblačilo, ki je bilo na njem in ga dal Davidu, in svoja oblačila, celo do svojega meča, svojega loka in svojega pasu.
5 And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, [and] behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.
David je odšel ven, kamor ga je poslal Savel in se modro vedel. Savel ga je postavil nad bojevnike in sprejet je bil pred očmi vsega ljudstva in tudi pred očmi Savlovih služabnikov.
6 And it came to pass as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels, with joy, and with instruments of music.
Pripetilo se je, medtem ko so prišli, ko se je David vrnil iz pokola Filistejca, da so prišle ženske ven iz vseh Izraelovih mest, pojoč in plešoč, da srečajo kralja Savla z bobniči, z radostjo in z glasbenimi instrumenti.
7 And the women sang one to another in their play, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
Ženske so odgovarjale druga drugi, medtem ko so igrale in govorile: »Savel je umoril svoje tisoče, David pa svoje deset tisoče.«
8 And Saul was very wroth, and this saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?
Savel je bil zelo ogorčen in [to] govorjenje mu ni ugajalo in je rekel: »Davidu so pripisale deset tisoče, meni pa so pripisale samo tisoče. Kaj ima lahko več kakor kraljestvo?«
9 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
Savel je od tistega dne dalje Davida opazoval.
10 And it came to pass on the morrow, that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as he did day by day: and Saul had his spear in his hand.
Pripetilo se je naslednji dan, da je nad Savla prišel zli duh od Boga in je prerokoval v sredi hiše. David pa je igral s svojo roko kakor ob drugih časih. V Savlovi roki pa je bilo kopje.
11 and Saul cast the spear; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall. And David avoided out of his presence twice.
Savel je zalučal kopje, kajti rekel je: » S tem bom Davida udaril celo k zidu.« David pa se je dvakrat izognil njegovi prisotnosti.
12 And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul.
Savel se je bal Davida, ker je bil Gospod z njim, od Savla pa je odšel.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
Zato ga je Savel odstranil od sebe in ga postavil za poveljnika nad tisočimi in odhajal in prihajal je pred ljudstvom.
14 And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.
David se je na vseh svojih poteh obnašal modro in Gospod je bil z njim.
15 And when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
Zato se ga je Savel, ko je videl, da se je obnašal zelo modro, bal.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
Toda ves Izrael in Juda je ljubil Davida, zato ker je odhajal in prihajal pred njimi.
17 And Saul said to David, Behold, my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife: only be thou valiant for me. and fight the LORD’S battles. For Saul said, Let not mine hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.
Savel je rekel Davidu: »Glej mojo starejšo hči Merábo, njo ti bom dal za ženo, samo hraber bodi zame in bojuj Gospodove boje.« Kajti Savel je rekel: »Naj moja roka ne bo nad njim, temveč naj bo nad njim roka Filistejcev.«
18 And David said unto Saul, Who am I, and what is my life, [or] my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son in law to the king?
David je rekel Savlu: »Kdo sem jaz? In kaj je moje življenje ali družina mojega očeta v Izraelu, da bi bil kraljev zet?«
19 But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul’s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife.
Toda pripetilo se je ob času, ko naj bi bila Savlova hči Merába dana Davidu, da je bila dana za ženo Mehólčanu Adriélu.
20 And Michal Saul’s daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
Savlova hči Mihála je ljubila Davida in povedali so Savlu in stvar mu je ugajala.
21 And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son in law a second time.
Savel je rekel: »Dal mu jo bom, da mu bo lahko za zanko in da bo roka Filistejcev lahko zoper njega.« Zato je Savel rekel Davidu: »Danes boš moj zet z eno od dveh.«
22 And Saul commanded his servants, [saying], Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king’s son in law.
Savel je zapovedal svojim služabnikom, rekoč: »Na skrivaj se pogovarjajte z Davidom in recite: ›Glej, kralj se razveseljuje v tebi in vsi njegovi služabniki te ljubijo. Sedaj torej postani kraljev zet.‹«
23 And Saul’s servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be the king’s son in law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
Savlovi služabniki so te besede govorili na Davidova ušesa. David je rekel: »Ali se vam zdi to lahka stvar postati kraljev zet, glede na to, da sem revež in preziran?«
24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David.
Savlovi služabniki so mu povedali, rekoč: »David je govoril na ta način.«
25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
Savel je rekel: »Tako boste rekli Davidu: ›Kralj ne želi nobene dote, temveč sto prednjih kožic Filistejcev, da bi bil maščevan nad kraljevimi sovražniki.‹« Toda Savel je mislil, da bi Davidu povzročil pasti po roki Filistejcev.
26 And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son in law. And the days were not expired;
Ko so njegovi služabniki te besede povedali Davidu, je Davidu ugajalo, da bi bil kraljev zet in dnevi še niso pretekli.
27 and David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king’s son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.
Zato je David vstal in odšel, on in njegovi možje in izmed Filistejcev so usmrtili dvesto mož. David je prinesel njihove prednje kožice in v polnem številu so jih izročili kralju, da bi postal kraljev zet. In Savel mu je dal svojo hčer Mihálo za ženo.
28 And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David; and Michal Saul’s daughter loved him.
Savel je videl in spoznal, da je bil Gospod z Davidom in da ga je Savlova hči Mihála ljubila.
29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David’s enemy continually.
Savel pa se je še bolj bal Davida in Savel je dnevno postajal Davidov sovražnik.
30 Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.
Potem so princi Filistejcev odšli naprej in pripetilo se je, potem ko so šli naprej, da se je David obnašal bolj modro kakor vsi Savlovi služabniki, tako da je bilo njegovo ime zelo cenjeno.
