1 Samuel 28
1 Some time later, the people of Philistia gathered their army to attack the Israelis [again]. King Achish told David, “I am expecting that you and your men will join with my men to attack [the Israelis].”
И у оно време скупише Филистеји војску своју да завојште на Израиља; и рече Ахис Давиду: Знај да ћеш ићи са мном на војску ти и твоји људи.
2 David replied, “[We will go with you, and then] you will see for yourself what we can do!” Achish said, “Okay, I will appoint you to be my bodyguard permanently.”
А Давид рече Ахису: Сад ћеш видети шта ће учинити твој слуга. А Ахис рече Давиду: Зато ћу те поставити да си чувар главе моје свагда.
3 [While Samuel was still alive, Saul did many things that pleased Yahweh. One of the good things that] Saul [did was to] expel from Israel all the people who were fortune-tellers or who talked to the spirits of dead people. But Samuel had died, and all the Israeli people had mourned for him. Then they had buried him in Ramah, his hometown. [After that, Saul did not try to please Yahweh any more].
А Самуило беше умро, и плака за њим сав Израиљ, и погребоше га у Рами, у његовом граду. И Саул беше истребио из земље гатаре и врачаре.
4 The army of Philistia gathered and set up their tents at Shunem [city, in the north of Israel]. Saul gathered the Israeli army and set up their tents at Gilboa [in the eastern part of the same valley].
И Филистеји скупивши се дођоше и стадоше у логор код Сунима; скупи и Саул све Израиљце, и стадоше у логор код Гелвује.
5 When Saul saw the army of Philistia, he became so afraid that his heart pounded/shook.
Саул пак видећи војску филистејску уплаши се, и срце му уздрхта веома.
6 He prayed to Yahweh, but Yahweh did not answer him. Yahweh did not [tell Saul what he should do by] giving him a dream, or by [having the priest throw] the marked stones [that were in his sacred vest], or by [giving a message about Saul to] any prophet.
И упита Саул Господа, али му Господ не одговори ни у сну ни преко Урима, ни преко пророка.
7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Find for me a woman who talks to the spirits of dead people, in order that I can ask her [what will happen].” His servants replied, “There is a woman in Endor [town] who does that.”
И Саул рече слугама својим: Тражите ми жену с духом врачарским, да отидем к њој и упитам је. А слуге му рекоше: Ево у Ендору има жена у којој је дух врачарски.
8 So Saul [took off the clothes that showed that he was the king, and he] put on ordinary clothes (to disguise himself/so that people would not recognize who he was). Then he and two of his men went during the night to talk to that woman. Saul said to her, “I want you to talk to a spirit [of someone who has died]. Cause to appear the person whose name I will [give to you].”
Тада се Саул преруши обукав друге хаљине, и отиде са два човека, и дође к оној жени ноћу; и он јој рече: Хајде врачај ми духом врачарским, и дозови ми оног ког ти кажем.
9 But the woman replied, “You surely know what Saul has done. He expelled from this land all the people who talk to spirits of dead people and all fortune-tellers. I think that you are trying to trap me, in order that I will be executed [for doing something that is not permitted].”
Али му жена рече: Та ти знаш шта је учинио Саул и како је истребио из земље гатаре и врачаре; зашто дакле мећеш замку души мојој да ме убијеш?
10 Saul replied, solemnly asking Yahweh to listen to what he was saying, “Just as surely as Yahweh lives, you will not be punished for doing this.”
А Саул јој се закле Господом говорећи: Тако жив био Господ! Неће ти бити ништа за то.
11 Then the woman said, “Whom do you want me to cause to appear?” Saul replied, “Cause Samuel to appear.”
Тада рече жена: Кога да ти дозовем? А он рече: Самуила ми дозови.
12 [So] the woman [did that. But] when she saw Samuel, she screamed. She said, “You have tricked me [RHQ]! You are Saul! [You will execute me for doing this]!”
А кад жена виде Самуила, повика гласно, и рече жена Саулу говорећи: Зашто си ме преварио? Та ти си Саул.
13 Saul said to her, “Do not be afraid. What do you see?” The woman said, “I see a god/spirit coming up out of the ground.”
А цар јој рече: Не бој се; него шта си видела? А жена рече Саулу: Богове сам видела где излазе из земље.
14 Saul said, “What does he look like?” The woman replied, “An old man wearing a robe is appearing.” Then Saul knew that it was Samuel. So he bowed down with his face touching the ground.
Он јој опет рече: Какав је? Она му рече: Стар човек излази огрнут плаштем. Тада разуме Саул да је Самуило, и сави се лицем до земље и поклони се.
15 Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you bothered/disturbed me by causing me to appear?” Saul said, “I am very worried. The army of Philistia is about to attack my army, and God has abandoned me. He does not answer my questions any more. He does not give me dreams [to tell me what to do] or give messages to prophets [to tell me what to do]. That is the reason that I came to see you. So you tell me what I should do!”
А Самуило рече Саулу: Зашто си ме узнемирио и изазвао? Одговори Саул: У невољи сам великој, јер Филистеји завојштише на ме, а Бог је одступио од мене, и не одговори ми више ни преко пророка ни у сну, зато позвах тебе да ми кажеш шта ћу чинити.
16 Samuel said, “Yahweh has abandoned you and has become your enemy. So why do you ask me [what you should do]? [RHQ]
А Самуило рече: Па што мене питаш, кад је Господ одступио од тебе и постао ти непријатељ?
17 He has done what he told me [previously] that he would do to you. He has torn the kingdom away from you, and he is giving it to someone who is another Israeli—David.
Господ је учинио како је казао преко мене; јер је Господ истргао царство из твоје руке и дао га ближњему твом Давиду;
18 You did not obey Yahweh. Yahweh was very angry with the Amalek people-group. You did not [kill all of their animals], with the result that you did not show that he was very angry with them. That is the reason that he has done this to you today.
Јер ниси послушао глас Господњи, нити си извршио жестоки гнев Његов на Амалику; зато ти је данас Господ то учинио.
19 Yahweh will enable the Philistia army to defeat you and all the other Israeli soldiers. And tomorrow you and your sons will be with me [in the place where spirits of dead people are]. Yahweh will cause the whole Israeli army to be defeated by the Philistia army.” [And after Samuel said that, he disappeared].
И Господ ће предати и Израиља с тобом у руке Филистејима; те ћеш сутра ти и синови твоји бити код мене; и логор израиљски предаће Господ у руке Филистејима.
20 Saul immediately fell flat on the ground. He was so afraid because of what Samuel had said that he became paralyzed. He was also very weak because he had not eaten anything all that day and night.
А Саул уједанпут паде на земљу колики је дуг, јер се врло уплаши од речи Самуилових, и не беше снаге у њему, јер не беше ништа јео сав дан и сву ноћ.
21 The woman saw that he was extremely worried/terrified. She said to him, “Listen to me! I have done what you requested me to do. I could be executed for doing that.
Тада жена приступи к Саулу и видећи га врло уплашеног рече му: Ево, слушкиња те је твоја послушала, и нисам за живот свој марила да бих те послушала шта си ми казао.
22 So now please pay attention to what I say. Allow me to give you some food, in order that you will [eat it and] get enough strength to go back [to your army].”
Него сада и ти послушај шта ће ти слушкиња твоја казати: Поставићу ти мало хлеба, те једи да се окрепиш да се можеш вратити својим путем.
23 But Saul refused. He said, “No, I will not eat anything.” Then Saul’s servants also urged him [to eat something], and finally he heeded what they said. He got up from the ground and sat on the bed.
А он не хте, и рече: Нећу јести. Али навалише на њ слуге његове и жена, те их послуша, и уставши са земље седе на постељу.
24 The woman had a fat calf close to her house. She quickly slaughtered it [and cooked it]. She took some flour and mixed it [with olive oil], and baked it without putting in any yeast.
А жена имаше код куће теле угојено, и брже га закла, и узе брашна те умеси и испече хлебове пресне.
25 She placed the food in front of Saul and his servants, and they ate some of it. Then that night they got up and left.
Потом постави Саулу и слугама његовим, те једоше. А после усташе и отидоше исте ноћи.
