2 Књига Самуилова 1

1 А по смрти Сауловој, кад се Давид врати побивши Амалике и оста у Сиклагу два дана,

And it came to pass after Saul was dead, that David returned from striking Amalec, and David abode two days in Sekelac.

2 Трећег дана, гле, дође један из војске Саулове раздртих хаљина и главе посуте прахом; и дошав к Давиду паде на земљу и поклони се.

And it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came from the camp, from the people of Saul, and his garments were tore, and earth [was] upon his head: and it came to pass when he went in to David, that he fell upon the earth, and did obeisance to him.

3 И рече му Давид: Откуда идеш? А он му рече: Из логора израиљског утекох.

And David said to him, Whence come you? and he said to him, I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.

4 А Давид му рече: Шта би? Кажи ми. А он рече: Народ побеже из боја; и много народа паде и изгибе, погибе и Саул и син му Јонатан.

And David said to him, What [is] the matter? tell me. And he said, The people fled out of the battle, and many of the people have fallen and are dead, and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.

5 А Давид рече момку који му донесе глас: Како знаш да је погинуо и син му Јонатан?

And David said to the young man who brought him the tidings, How know you that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?

6 А момак који му донесе глас рече: Случајно дођох на гору Гелвују, а то се Саул наслонио на копље своје, кола и коњици приближаваху се к њему.

And the young man that brought the tidings, said to him, I happened accidentally to be upon mount Gelbue; and, behold, Saul was leaning upon his spear, and, behold, the chariots and captains of horse pressed hard upon him.

7 А он обазревши се натраг угледа ме, па ме викну, а ја му рекох: Ево ме.

And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called me; and I said, Behold, [here am] I.

8 А он ми рече: Ко си? А ја му рекох: Амалик сам.

And he said to me, Who are you? and I said, I am an Amalekite.

9 А он ми рече: Приступи к мени убиј ме; јер ме обузеше муке, а још је сасвим душа у мени.

And he said to me, Stand, I pray you, over me, and kill me, for a dreadful darkness has come upon me, for all my life [is] in me.

10 И приступих к њему и убих га, јер сам знао да неће остати жив пошто паде; и узех венац царски који му беше на глави и гривну која му беше на руци, и ево донесох господару свом.

So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew he would not live after he was fallen; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was upon his arm, and I have brought them hither to my lord.

11 Тада Давид зграби хаљине на себи и раздре их; тако и сви људи који беху с њим.

And David laid hold of his garments, and tore them; and all the men who were with him tore their garments.

12 И ридаше и плакаше, и постише до вечери за Саулом и за Јонатаном сином његовим и за народом Господњим и за домом Израиљевим што изгибоше од мача.

And they lamented, and wept, and fasted till evening, for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Juda, and for the house of Israel, because they were struck with the sword.

13 И рече Давид момку који му донесе глас: Одакле си? А он рече: Ја сам син једног дошљака Амалика.

And David said to the young man who brought the tidings to him, Whence are you? and he said, I am the son of an Amalekite sojourner.

14 Рече му Давид: Како те није било страх подићи руку своју и убити помазаника Господњег?

And David said to him, How was it you were not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the anointed of the Lord?

15 И дозва Давид једног између момака својих и рече: Ходи, погуби га. А он га удари, те умре.

And David called one of his young men, and said, Go and fall upon him: and he struck him, and he died.

16 И рече му Давид: Крв твоја на твоју главу; јер твоја уста сведочише на те говорећи: Ја сам убио помазаника Господњег.

And David said to him, Your blood [be] upon your own head; for your mouth has testified against you, saying, I have slain the anointed of the Lord.

17 Тада Давид нарица овако за Саулом и за Јонатаном сином његовим,

And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son.

18 И изговори, да би се учили синови Јудини луку, и ето је написано у књизи Истинитог:

And he gave orders to teach it the sons of Juda: behold, it is written in the book of Right.

19 Дико Израиљева! На твојим висинама побијени су; како падоше јунаци?

Set up a pillar, O Israel, for the slain that died upon your high places: how are the mighty fallen!

20 Не казујте у Гату, и не разглашујте по улицама аскалонским, да се не веселе кћери филистејске и да не играју кћери необрезаних.

Tell it not in Geth, and tell it not as glad tidings in the streets of Ascalon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

21 Горе гелвујске! Не падала роса ни дажд на вас, и не родило поље за принос, јер је ту бачен штит са јунака, штит Саулов, као да није помазан уљем.

You mountains of Gelbue, let not dew no rain descend upon you, nor fields of first fruits [be upon you], for there the shield of the mighty ones has been grievously assailed; the shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.

22 Без крви побијених и без масти од јунака није се враћао лук Јонатанов, нити је мач Саулов долазио натраг празан.

From the blood of the slain, and from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan returned not empty; and the sword of Saul turned not back empty.

23 Саул и Јонатан, мили и драги за живота, ни у смрти се не раставише; лакши од орлова беху.

Saul and Jonathan, the beloved and the beautiful, were not divided: comely [were they] in their life, and in their death they were not divided: [they were] swifter than eagles, and they were stronger than lions.

24 Кћери Израиљеве! Плачите за Саулом, који вас је облачио у скерлет лепо, и китио вас златним закладима по хаљинама вашим.

Daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you with scarlet together with your adorning, who added golden ornaments to your apparel.

25 Како падоше јунаци у боју! Јонатан како погибе на твојим висинама!

How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, even the slain ones upon your high places!

26 Жао ми је за тобом, брате Јонатане; био си ми мио врло; већа ми је била љубав твоја од љубави женске.

I am grieved for you, my brother Jonathan; you were very lovely to me; your love to me was wonderful beyond the love of women.

27 Како падоше јунаци, и пропаде оружје убојито!

How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
