1 Samuel 24
1 And it came to pass, when Saul had returned from following the Philistines, that it was told to him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.
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 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.
Potem je Savel vzel tri tisoč izbranih mož iz vsega Izraela in odšel, da poišče Davida in njegove ljudi na skalah divjih koz.
3 And he came to the sheepfolds by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of 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 And the men of David said to him, Behold the day of which the LORD said to thee, Behold, I will deliver thy enemy into thy hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good to thee. Then David arose, and secretly cut off the skirt 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 And it came to pass afterward, that David’s heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul’s skirt.
Pripetilo se je potem, da ga je Davidovo srce udarilo, ker je odsekal krajec Savlovega oblačila.
6 And he said to his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the LORD’S anointed, to stretch forth my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD.
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 So David restrained his servants with these words, and permitted them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose out of the cave, 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 David also rose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself.
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 And David said to Saul, Why hearest thou men’s words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy harm?
David je rekel Savlu: »Zakaj poslušaš besede ljudi, govoreč: ›Glej, David išče tvoje zlo?‹
10 Behold, this day thy eyes have seen how the LORD hath delivered thee to day into my hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but my eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is the LORD’S anointed.
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 Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it.
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 The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but my hand shall not be upon thee.
Gospod sodi med menoj in teboj in Gospod naj me maščuje nad teboj, toda moja roka ne bo nad teboj.
13 As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but my hand shall not be upon thee.
Kakor pravi pregovor starcev: ›Zlobnost izvira od zlobnih, ‹ toda moja roka ne bo nad teboj.
14 After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.
Za kom je Izraelov kralj prišel ven? Za kom tečeš? Za mrtvim psom, za bolho.
15 The LORD therefore be judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thy hand.
Gospod naj bo torej sodnik in sodi med menoj in teboj in gleda in zagovarja mojo pravdo in me osvobodi iz tvoje roke.«
16 And it came to pass, when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
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 And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I: for thou hast rewarded me with good, though I have rewarded thee with evil.
Davidu je rekel: »Pravičnejši si kakor jaz, kajti nagradil si mi dobro, medtem ko sem ti jaz nagradil zlo.
18 And thou hast showed this day how thou hast dealt with me: forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me into thy hand, thou didst not 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 findeth his enemy, will he let him go away well? therefore the LORD reward thee with good for what thou hast done to me this day.
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 And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thy hand.
Sedaj glej, dobro vem, da boš zagotovo postal kralj in da bo Izraelovo kraljestvo utrjeno v tvoji roki.
21 Swear now therefore to me by the LORD, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father’s house.
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 And David swore to Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men went up to the strong hold.
David je prisegel Savlu. Savel je odšel domov, toda David in njegovi možje so se povzpeli na utrjen kraj.
