< 2 Samuel 1 >

1 After Saul died, David [and the men who were with him] returned to Ziklag [town] after defeating the descendants of Amalek. They stayed in Ziklag for two days.
Stalo se pak po smrti Saulově, když se navrátil David od porážky Amalechitských, že pobyl v Sicelechu za dva dni.
2 On the third day, unexpectedly a man arrived there who had come from where Saul’s army was camped. He had torn his clothes and put dust on his head [to show that he was grieving]. He came to David, and prostrated himself on the ground [in front of David to show respect for him].
A aj, dne třetího přišel jeden z vojska Saulova, maje roucho roztržené a prach na hlavě své. Kterýž když přišel k Davidovi, padl na zemi a poklonil se.
3 David asked him, “Where have you come from?” The man replied, “I escaped from where the Israeli army had been camped.”
I řekl jemu David: Odkud jdeš? Jemuž odpověděl: Z vojska Izraelského utekl jsem.
4 David asked him, “What happened? Tell me [about the battle]!” The man replied, “The Israeli soldiers ran away from the battle. Many of them were killed. And Saul and his son Jonathan (are dead/were also killed).”
Opět řekl jemu David: Cože se stalo? Medle, pověz mi. Kterýž odpověděl: To, že utekl lid z boje, a množství lidu padlo a zbito jest; též i Saul i Jonata syn jeho zbiti jsou.
5 David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
Řekl ještě David mládenci, kterýž mu to oznámil: Kterak ty víš, že umřel Saul i Jonata syn jeho?
6 The young man replied, “It happened that I was on Gilboa Mountain [where the battle occurred], and I saw Saul, leaning on his spear. The [enemy] chariots and their drivers had come very close to Saul.
Odpověděl mládenec, kterýž to oznamoval jemu: Náhodou přišel jsem na horu Gelboe, a aj, Saul nalehl byl na kopí své, a vozové i jezdci postihali ho.
7 Saul turned around and saw me, and he called out to me. I answered him and said, ‘What do you want me to do?’
Kterýžto ohlédna se zpátkem, uzřel mne a zavolal na mne. I řekl jsem: Aj, teď jsem.
8 He replied, ‘Who are you?’ I replied, ‘I am a descendant of Amalek.’
Tedy řekl mi: Kdo jsi ty? Odpověděl jsem jemu: Amalechitský jsem.
9 Then he said to me, ‘Come over here and kill me. I am still alive, but I am enduring a lot of pain.’
I řekl mi: Přistup medle sem a zabí mne, nebo mne obklíčila úzkost, a ještě všecka duše má jest ve mně.
10 So I went to him and killed him, because I knew that he was wounded very badly and would (not continue to live/soon die). I took the crown that was on his head and the band/bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them to you.”
Protož stoje nad ním, zabil jsem ho, nebo jsem věděl, že nebude živ po svém pádu. A vzal jsem korunu, kteráž byla na hlavě jeho, i záponu, kteráž byla na rameni jeho, a teď jsem to přinesl ku pánu svému.
11 Then David and all the men who were with him tore their clothes [to show that they were very sad].
Tedy David uchytiv roucho své, roztrhl je; tolikéž i všickni muži, kteříž s ním byli.
12 They mourned for Saul and his son Jonathan, and they cried and (fasted/abstained from eating food) until it was evening. They also mourned for all the army of Yahweh, and for all the Israeli people, because many of their soldiers had been killed in the battle [MTY].
A nesouce smutek, plakali a postili se až do večera pro Saule a pro Jonatu syna jeho, i pro lid Hospodinův a pro dům Izraelský, že padli od meče.
13 Then David asked the young man who had told him [about the battle], “Where are you from?” He replied, “My father is a descendant of Amalek, but we live in Israel.”
Řekl pak David mládenci, kterýž mu to oznámil: Odkud jsi ty? Odpověděl: Syn muže příchozího Amalechitského jsem.
14 David asked him, “(Why were you not afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king]?/You should have been afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king].) [RHQ]
Opět mu řekl David: Kterak jsi směl vztáhnouti ruku svou, abys zahubil pomazaného Hospodinova?
15 You yourself said, ‘I killed the man whom Yahweh appointed to be the king.’ So you have caused yourself to be guilty [MTY] of causing your own death!” Then David summoned one of his soldiers and said to him, “Kill him!” So the soldier killed him by striking him [with a sword].
A zavolav David jednoho z mládenců, řekl jemu: Přistoupě, oboř se na něj. Kterýžto udeřil ho, tak že umřel.
I řekl jemu David: Krev tvá budiž na hlavu tvou, neboť jsou ústa tvá svědčila na tebe, řkouce: Já jsem zabil pomazaného Hospodinova.
17 Then David composed/wrote this sad song about Saul and Jonathan,
Tedy naříkal David naříkáním tímto nad Saulem a nad Jonatou synem jeho,
18 and he commanded that it be taught to the people of Judah. [The song is called] ‘The Bow [and Arrow]’ and it has been written in the Book of Jashar:
(Přikázav však, aby synové Judovi učeni byli stříleti z luku, jakož psáno v knize Upřímého.):
19 “You Israeli people, your glorious [MTY] leaders have been killed on the mountains! [It is very sad that] those mighty men have died!
Ó kráso Izraelská, na výsostech tvých zraněni, jakť jsou padli udatní!
20 “Do not tell it [to our enemies in the Philistia area]; do not tell to the people who live in Gath [city] what happened; do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon [city], because if you tell them, [even] the women in that area will be happy; do not allow those (pagan women/women who do not know God) to rejoice.
Neoznamujtež v Gát, ani toho ohlašujte na ulicích Aškalon, aby se neveselily dcery Filistinských, a neplésaly dcery neobřezaných.
21 I hope/desire that there will be no rain or dew on the mountains of [the] Gilboa [area] [APO], and that no grain will grow in the fields there, because there the shield of Saul, the mighty [king], fell on the ground. No one rubbed [olive] oil on Saul’s shield;
Ó hory Gelboe, ani rosa, ani déšť nespadej na vás, ani tu buď pole úrodné; nebo tam jest povržen štít udatných, štít Saulův, jako by nebyl pomazán olejem.
22 instead, it was stained with the blood of those whom he had killed, and the fat of mighty enemy soldiers was smeared on it. Jonathan [PRS] did not retreat carrying his bow [and arrows], and Saul always [defeated his enemies when he fought them] with his sword. [PRS, LIT]
Od krve raněných a od tuku udatných lučiště Jonatovo nikdy zpět neodskočilo, a meč Saulův nenavracoval se prázdný.
23 “Saul and Jonathan were loved and they pleased many people. They were together [LIT] while they lived and when they died. [In battles] they were swifter than eagles and they were stronger than lions.
Saul a Jonata milí a utěšení v životě svém, také při smrti své nejsou rozloučeni. Nad orlice bystřejší, nad lvy silnější byli.
24 “You Israeli women, cry about Saul; He provided beautiful scarlet/red clothes for you and he gave you gold ornaments/jewelry to fasten on those clothes.
Dcery Izraelské, plačte Saule, kterýž vás odíval červcem dvakrát barveným rozkošně, kterýž dával ozdoby zlaté na roucha vaše.
25 “[It is very sad that] this mighty soldier has died! Jonathan has been killed on the mountains/hills.
Ach, jakť jsou padli udatní u prostřed boje? Jonata na výsostech tvých zabit jest.
26 Jonathan, my dear friend, I grieve for you; you were very dear to me. You loved me in a wonderful manner; it was better than the way that a woman loves [her husband and her children].
Velice jsem po tobě teskliv, bratře můj Jonato. Byl jsi mi příjemný náramně; vzácnější u mne byla milost tvá nežli milost žen.
27 “It is very sad that those mighty men have died, and their weapons are now abandoned!
Ach, jakť jsou padli udatní, a zahynula odění válečná.
