1 Samuel 18
1 When he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
И кад сврши разговор са Саулом, душа Јонатанова приону за душу Давидову, и Јонатан га запази као своју душу.
2 Saul took him that day, and wouldn’t let him go home to his father’s house any more.
И узе га Саул тај дан, и не даде му да се врати кући оца свог.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
И Јонатан учини веру с Давидом, јер га љубљаше као своју душу.
4 Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David with his clothing, even including his sword, his bow, and his sash.
И скиде Јонатан са себе плашт, који ношаше, и даде га Давиду, и одело своје и мач свој и лук свој и појас свој.
5 David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely; and Saul set him over the men of war. It was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.
И иђаше Давид на шта га год Саул пошиљаше, и беше срећан, и постави га Саул над војницима, и омиле свему народу, па и слугама Сауловим.
6 As they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.
А кад се враћаху, и кад се Давид враћаше убивши Филистејина, излазише жене из сваког града Израиљевог певајући и играјући на сусрет цару Саулу, с бубњевима и с весељем и гуслама.
7 The women sang to one another as they played, and said, “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.”
И отпевајући жене једне другима уза свирке говораху: Саул згуби своју хиљаду, али Давид својих десет хиљада.
8 Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him. He said, “They have credited David with ten thousands, and they have only credited me with thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?”
И разгневи се Саул врло, и не бише му по вољи те речи, и рече: Давиду дадоше десет хиљада, а мени дадоше хиљаду; још му само царство треба.
9 Saul watched David from that day and forward.
И од тог дана Саул гледаше попреко Давида.
10 On the next day, an evil spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the middle of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;
А сутрадан нападе Саула зли дух Божји, те пророковаше у кући, а Давид му удараше руком својом у гусле као пре: а Саулу у руци беше копље.
11 and Saul threw the spear, for he said, “I will pin David to the wall!” David escaped from his presence twice.
И Саул баци копље говорећи: Да прикујем Давида за зид. Али му се Давид измаче два пута.
12 Saul was afraid of David, because Yahweh was with him, and had departed from Saul.
И Саула беше страх од Давида, јер Господ беше с њим, а од Саула беше одступио.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from his presence, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
Зато га уклони Саул од себе, и постави га хиљадником; и он одлажаше и долажаше пред народом.
14 David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Yahweh was with him.
И Давид беше срећан у свему што чињаше, јер Господ беше с њим.
15 When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
А Саул видећи да је веома срећан, бојаше га се.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
А сав Израиљ и Јуда љубљаше Давида, јер он одлажаше и долажаше пред њима.
17 Saul said to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab. I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight Yahweh’s battles.” For Saul said, “Don’t let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
И рече Саул Давиду: Ево, кћер своју старију Мераву даћу ти за жену, само ми буди храбар и води ратове Господње. Јер Саул говораше: Нећу да се дигне моја рука на њ, него филистејска рука нека се дигне на њ.
18 David said to 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?”
А Давид рече Саулу: Ко сам ја и какав је живот мој или дом оца мог у Израиљу, да будем зет царев?
19 But at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
А кад дође време да Мераву, кћер Саулову, даду Давиду, дадоше је Адрилу Меолаћанину за жену.
20 Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
Али Давида љубљаше Михала, кћи Саулова; а кад то јавише Саулу, би му по вољи.
21 Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Therefore Saul said to David a second time, “You shall today be my son-in-law.”
И рече Саул: Даћу му је да му буде замка и да се диже на њ рука филистејска. А Давиду рече Саул: Бићеш ми данас зет с другом.
22 Saul commanded his servants, “Talk with David secretly, and say, ‘Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore be the king’s son-in-law.’”
И заповеди Саул слугама својим: Реците Давиду тајно и говорите: Гле, омилео си цару, и све слуге његове љубе те; буди сада зет царев.
23 Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, “Does it seem to you a light thing to be the king’s son-in-law, since I am a poor man and little known?”
И слуге Саулове рекоше те речи Давиду, а Давид рече: Мислите ли да је лако бити зет царев? Та ја сам сиромах и мали човек.
24 The servants of Saul told him, saying, “David spoke like this.”
И Саулу јавише ово слуге његове говорећи: Овако рече Давид.
25 Saul said, “Tell David, ‘The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies.’” Now Saul thought he would make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
А Саул рече: Овако реците Давиду: Не тражи цар уздарја, него сто окрајака филистејских, да се цар освети својим непријатељима. А Саул мишљаше како би Давид пао у руке Филистејима.
26 When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law. Before the deadline,
И слуге његове казаше Давиду те речи, и Давиду би по вољи да постане царев зет. И време се још не наврши.
27 David arose and went, he and his men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. Then David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife.
А Давид уста и отиде са својим људима, и поби двеста Филистеја. И донесе Давид окрајке њихове, и дадоше их на број цару да би постао царев зет. И Саул му даде за жену Михалу кћер своју.
28 Saul saw and knew that Yahweh was with David; and Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved him.
И Саул виде и позна да је Господ са Давидом; и Михала кћи Саулова љубљаше га.
29 Saul was even more afraid of David; and Saul was David’s enemy continually.
А Саул се још већма побоја Давида; и беше Саул једнако непријатељ Давиду.
30 Then the princes of the Philistines went out; and as often as they went out, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly esteemed.
А кнезови филистејски удараху; и кад год удараху, Давид беше срећнији од свих слуга Саулових, и име се његово врло прослави.
