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.
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 Saul took him that day, and wouldn’t let him go home to his father’s house any more.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 The women sang to one another as they played, and said, “Saul has 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 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?”
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 Saul watched David from that day and forward.
Savel je od tistega dne dalje Davida opazoval.
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;
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 threw the spear, for he said, “I will pin David to the wall!” David escaped from 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 Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and had 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 his presence, 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 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 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 Saul said to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab. I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight the LORD’s battles.” For Saul said, “Don’t let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on 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 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?”
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 at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as 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 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 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.”
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 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.’”
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 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?”
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 The servants of Saul told him, saying, “David spoke like this.”
Savlovi služabniki so mu povedali, rekoč: »David je govoril na ta način.«
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.
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 When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law. Before the deadline,
Ko so njegovi služabniki te besede povedali Davidu, je Davidu ugajalo, da bi bil kraljev zet in dnevi še niso pretekli.
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.
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 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 Saul was even 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 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.
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.
