1 Samuel 24
1 When Saul had returned from following the Philistines, he was told, “Behold, David is in the wilderness of En Gedi.”
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 on 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 He came to the sheep pens by the way, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were staying in the innermost parts 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 David’s men said to him, “Behold, the day of which the LORD said to you, ‘Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.’” Then David arose and cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe secretly.
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 Afterward, David’s heart struck 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 He said to his men, “The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the LORD’s anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, since he is the LORD’s anointed.”
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 checked his men with these words, and didn’t allow them to rise against Saul. Saul rose up 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 arose afterward, and went out of the cave and cried after Saul, saying, “My lord the king!” When Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and showed respect.
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 David said to Saul, “Why do you listen to men’s words, saying, ‘Behold, David seeks to harm you’?
David je rekel Savlu: »Zakaj poslušaš besede ljudi, govoreč: ›Glej, David išče tvoje zlo?‹
10 Behold, today your eyes have seen how the LORD had delivered you today into my hand in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared you. I said, ‘I will not stretch out 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, behold, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe and didn’t kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor disobedience in my hand. I have not sinned against you, though you hunt for my life 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 May the LORD judge between me and you, and may the LORD avenge me of you; but my hand will not be on you.
Gospod sodi med menoj in teboj in Gospod naj me maščuje nad teboj, toda moja roka ne bo nad teboj.
13 As the proverb of the ancients says, ‘Out of the wicked comes wickedness;’ but my hand will not be on you.
Kakor pravi pregovor starcev: ›Zlobnost izvira od zlobnih, ‹ toda moja roka ne bo nad teboj.
14 Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom do you pursue? A dead dog? A flea?
Za kom je Izraelov kralj prišel ven? Za kom tečeš? Za mrtvim psom, za bolho.
15 May the LORD therefore be judge, and give sentence between me and you, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of your 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 It came to pass, when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, “Is that your voice, my son David?” 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 He said to David, “You are more righteous than I; for you have done good to me, whereas I have done evil to you.
Davidu je rekel: »Pravičnejši si kakor jaz, kajti nagradil si mi dobro, medtem ko sem ti jaz nagradil zlo.
18 You have declared today how you have dealt well with me, because when the LORD had delivered me up into your hand, you didn’t 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 finds his enemy, will he let him go away unharmed? Therefore may the LORD reward you good for that which you have done to me today.
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 Now, behold, I know that you will surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your 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 you will not cut off my offspring after me, and that you will 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 David swore to Saul. Saul went home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
David je prisegel Savlu. Savel je odšel domov, toda David in njegovi možje so se povzpeli na utrjen kraj.
