1 Samuel 24
1 And it cometh to pass when Saul hath turned back from after the Philistines, that they declare to him, saying, 'Lo, 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 And Saul taketh three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and goeth to seek David and his men, on the front of 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 cometh in unto folds of the flock, on the way, and there [is] a cave, and Saul goeth in to cover his feet; and David and his men in the sides of the cave are abiding.
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 say unto him, 'Lo, the day of which Jehovah said unto thee, Lo, I am giving thine enemy into thy hand, and thou hast done to him as it is good in thine eyes;' and David riseth and cutteth off the skirt of the upper robe which [is] on Saul — gently.
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 cometh to pass afterwards that the heart of David smiteth him, because that he hath cut off the skirt which [is] on Saul,
Pripetilo se je potem, da ga je Davidovo srce udarilo, ker je odsekal krajec Savlovega oblačila.
6 and he saith to his men, 'Far be it from me, by Jehovah; I do not do this thing to my lord — to the anointed of Jehovah — to put forth my hand against him, for the anointed of Jehovah he [is].'
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 And David subdueth his men by words, and hath not permitted them to rise against Saul; and Saul hath risen from the cave, and goeth on the 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 and David riseth afterwards, and goeth out from the cave, and calleth after Saul, saying, 'My lord, O king!' And Saul looketh attentively behind him, and David boweth — face to the earth — and doth obeisance.
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 saith to Saul, 'Why dost thou hear the words of man, saying, Lo, David is seeking thine evil?
David je rekel Savlu: »Zakaj poslušaš besede ljudi, govoreč: ›Glej, David išče tvoje zlo?‹
10 Lo, this day have thine eyes seen how that Jehovah hath given thee to-day into my hand in the cave; and [one] said to slay thee, and [mine eye] hath pity on thee, and I say, I do not put forth my hand against my lord, for the anointed of Jehovah he [is].
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 'And, my father, see, yea see the skirt of thine upper robe in my hand; for by cutting off the skirt of thy upper robe, and I have not slain thee, know and see that there is not in my hand evil and transgression, and I have not sinned against thee, and thou art hunting 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 'Jehovah doth judge between me and thee, and Jehovah hath avenged me of thee, and my hand is not on 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 simile of the ancients, From the wicked goeth out wickedness, and my hand is not on thee.
Kakor pravi pregovor starcev: ›Zlobnost izvira od zlobnih, ‹ toda moja roka ne bo nad teboj.
14 'After whom hath the king of Israel come out? after whom art thou pursuing? — after a dead dog! after one flea!
Za kom je Izraelov kralj prišel ven? Za kom tečeš? Za mrtvim psom, za bolho.
15 And Jehovah hath been for judge, and hath judged between me and thee, yea, he seeth and pleadeth my cause, and doth 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 cometh to pass, when David completeth to speak these words unto Saul, that Saul saith, 'Is this thy voice, my son David?' and Saul lifteth up his voice, and weepeth.
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 saith unto David, 'More righteous thou [art] than I; for thou hast done me good, and I have done thee evil;
Davidu je rekel: »Pravičnejši si kakor jaz, kajti nagradil si mi dobro, medtem ko sem ti jaz nagradil zlo.
18 and thou hast declared to-day how that thou hast done good with me, how that Jehovah shut me up into thy hand, and thou didst not slay me,
Danes si pokazal, kako dobro si ravnal z menoj, ker ko me je Gospod izročil v tvojo roko, me nisi ubil.
19 and that a man doth find his enemy, and hath sent him away in a good manner; and Jehovah doth repay thee good for that which thou didst 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, lo, I have known that thou dost certainly reign, and the kingdom of Israel hath stood in thy hand;
Sedaj glej, dobro vem, da boš zagotovo postal kralj in da bo Izraelovo kraljestvo utrjeno v tvoji roki.
21 and, now, swear to me by Jehovah — thou dost not cut off my seed after me, nor dost thou destroy my name from the house of my father.'
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 sweareth to Saul, and Saul goeth unto his house, and David and his men have gone up unto the fortress.
David je prisegel Savlu. Savel je odšel domov, toda David in njegovi možje so se povzpeli na utrjen kraj.
