1 Samuel, 30

1. And when David and his men had arrived at Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the south side against Ziklag. And they had struck Ziklag, and burned it with fire.

1. Kad je David sa svojim ljudima treæi dan stigao u Siklag, a to Amaleèani bijahu navalili na Negeb i na Siklag; opljaèkali su Siklag i ognjem ga spalili.

2. And they had led the women in it away as captives, from the small to the great. And they had not killed anyone, but they led them away with them. And then they traveled on their journey.

2. Zarobili su žene i sve koji su bili ondje, malo i veliko. Nisu ubili nikoga, nego su samo odveli roblje i otišli svojim putem.

3. Therefore, when David and his men had arrived at the city, and had found it burned with fire, and that their wives and their sons and daughters had been led away as captives,

3. Kad je, dakle, David sa svojim ljudima došao u grad, vidješe da je grad spaljen, a njihove žene, njihovi sinovi i njihove kæeri odvedeni u ropstvo.

4. David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices. And they mourned until the tears in them failed.

4. Tada David i ljudi koji bijahu s njim podigoše glas i plakahu dok im nije ponestalo snage za plaè.

5. For indeed, the two wives of David also had been led away as captives: Ahinoam, the Jezreelite, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.

5. I obje Davidove žene bijahu odvedene u ropstvo - Ahinoama Jizreelka i Abigajila, Nabalova žena iz Karmela.

6. And David was greatly saddened. And the people were willing to stone him, because the soul of every man was bitter over his sons and daughters. But David was strengthened by the Lord his God.

6. David se našao u velikoj nevolji jer su ljudi poèeli govoriti da æe ga kamenovati, buduæi da su svi bili ogorèeni, svaki zbog svojih sinova i zbog svojih kæeri. Ali se David ohrabri u Jahvi, svome Bogu.

7. And he said to the priest Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, “Bring the ephod to me.” And Abiathar brought the ephod to David.

7. David reèe sveæeniku Ebjataru, Ahimelekovu sinu: "Donesi mi ovamo opleæak!" I Ebjatar donese Davidu opleæak.

8. And David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I pursue these robbers, and will I overtake them, or not?” And the Lord said to him: “Pursue. For without doubt, you will overtake them and find the prey.”

8. Tada David upita Jahvu za savjet govoreæi: "Hoæu li u potjeru za onim razbojnicima i hoæu li ih stiæi?" A on mu odgovori: "Idi u potjeru jer æeš ih zacijelo stiæi i zarobljenike æeš izbaviti."

9. Therefore, David went away, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and they arrived as far as the torrent Besor. And certain ones, being weary, stayed there.

9. I poðe David sa šest stotina ljudi koji bijahu s njim i doðoše do potoka Besora.

10. But David pursued, he and four hundred men. For two hundred stayed, who, being weary, were not able to cross the torrent Besor.

10. Odavde David sa èetiri stotine ljudi nastavi potjeru, a ostadoše dvije stotine ljudi što bijahu tako umorni da nisu mogli prijeæi preko potoka Besora.

11. And they found an Egyptian man in the field, and they led him to David. And they gave him bread, so that he might eat, and water, so that he might drink,

11. U polju naiðoše na nekog Egipæanina. Dovedoše ga k Davidu, dadoše mu kruha da jede i vode da pije.

12. and also a section of a mass of dried figs, and two clusters of dried grapes. And when he had eaten, his spirit returned, and he was refreshed. For he had not eaten bread, nor drank water, for three days and three nights.

12. Dadoše mu grudu smokava i dva grozda suhoga grožða. Kad je to pojeo, vratio mu se život, jer tri dana i tri noæi ne bijaše ništa jeo i ništa pio.

13. And so David said to him: “To whom do you belong? Or where are you from? And where are you going?” And he said: “I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalekite man. But my lord abandoned me, because I began to be sick the day before yesterday.

13. Tada ga David upita: "Èiji si ti i odakle si?" A on odgovori: "Ja sam Egipæanin, sluga jednog Amaleèanina. Moj me gospodar ostavio jer sam se razbolio prije tri dana.

14. For indeed, we broke forth to the southern side of Cherethi, and against Judah, and to the south of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire.”

14. Bili smo provalili u Negeb Keretski i Negeb Judejski, i u Negeb Kalebov, a Siklag smo zapalili ognjem."

15. And David said to him, “Are you able to lead me to this battle line?” And he said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me, and that you will not deliver me into the hands of my lord, and I will lead you to this battle line.” And David swore to him.

15. David ga upita: "Hoæeš li me odvesti k toj razbojnièkoj družbi?" A on odgovori: "Zakuni mi se Bogom da me neæeš pogubiti i da me neæeš predati u ruke mome gospodaru, pa æu te odvesti k njima!"

16. And when he had led him, behold, they were stretched out on the face of the land everywhere, eating and drinking and celebrating, as if it were a feast day, because of all the prey and spoils that they had taken from the land of the Philistines, and from the land of Judah.

16. On ga, dakle, odvede, i gle, oni se bijahu razasuli po svem onom kraju, jeduæi, pijuæi i slaveæi slavlje zbog svega velikog plijena što su ga oteli iz zemlje filistejske i iz zemlje Judine.

17. And David struck them down from evening until the evening of the next day. And no one among them escaped, except four hundred youths, who had climbed on camels and fled.

17. I David ih poèe biti i tukao ih je od zore do mraka, izvršujuæi na njima "herem", kleto uništenje. Nitko od njih nije izmakao, osim èetiri stotine momaka, koji zajahaše na deve i pobjegoše.

18. Therefore, David rescued all that the Amalekites had taken, and he rescued his two wives.

18. Tako je David izbavio sve što su bili oteli Amaleèani; i obje svoje žene izbavi David.

19. And nothing was missing, from small even to great, among the sons and daughters, and among the spoils, and among everything whatsoever that they had seized. David returned it all.

19. I ništa im nije nestalo, od najmanjih stvari do najveæih, od plijena sve do sinova i kæeri, sve što im bijaše oteto: sve je vratio David.

20. And he took all the flocks and the herds, and he drove them before his face. And they said, “This is the prey of David.”

20. Tada uzeše sve ovce i goveda, dotjeraše ih pred njega vièuæi: "Ovo je plijen Davidov!"

21. Then David arrived at the two hundred men, who, being weary, had stayed, for they had not been able to follow David, and he had ordered them to remain at the torrent Besor. And they went out to meet David, and the people who were with him. Then David, drawing near to the people, greeted them peacefully.

21. Kad je David došao k onim dvjema stotinama ljudi koji bijahu sustali te ne mogahu iæi za Davidom i koje on bijaše ostavio kod potoka Besora, iziðoše oni u susret Davidu i èeti njegovoj: približivši se Davidu i èeti, pozdraviše ih.

22. And all the wicked and iniquitous men, out of the men who had gone with David, responding, said: “Since they did not go with us, we will not give to them anything from the prey that we have rescued. But let his wife and children be enough for each of them; when they have accepted this, they may go back.”

22. Tada progovoriše svi zlobnici i ništarije izmeðu ljudi koji su išli s Davidom i rekoše: "Buduæi da nisu išli s nama, ne dajmo im ništa od plijena koji smo izbavili, nego samo svakome njegovu ženu i njegovu djecu, neka ih povedu sa sobom i neka idu!"

23. But David said: “You shall not do this, my brothers, with these things that the Lord has delivered to us, for he has preserved us, and he has given into our hands the robbers who broke out among us.

23. Ali David reèe: "Ne èinite tako, braæo moja, poslije onoga što nam je dao Jahve: on nas je èuvao i predao nam u ruke razbojnièku družbu koja bijaše izišla protiv nas.

24. And so, let no one heed you over these words. But equal shall be the portion of him who descended to the battle, and of him who remained with the supplies, and they will divide it alike.”

24. Ta tko æe vas poslušati u tome? Jer kakav je dio onome koji ide u boj, takav je dio onome koji ostaje kod tovara. Jednak dio neka imaju svi."

25. And this has been done from that day and thereafter. And it was established as a statute, and as if a law, in Israel even to this day.

25. Tako ostade od onoga dana unapredak. David to uèini uredbom i zakonom u Izraelu sve do današnjeg dana.

26. Then David went to Ziklag, and he sent gifts from the prey to the elders of Judah, his neighbors, saying, “Receive a blessing from the prey of the enemies of the Lord,”

26. Kad je David došao u Siklag, posla dio plijena starješinama Jude, po pojedinim njihovim gradovima, s porukom: "Evo za vas dar od plijena Jahvinih neprijatelja!"

27. to those who were in Bethel, and who were in Ramoth toward the south, and who were in Jattir,

27. Onima u Betulu, onima u Rami u Negebu i onima u Jatiru;

28. and who were in Aroer, and who were in Siphmoth, and who were in Eshtemoa,

28. onima u Aroeru, onima u Sifmotu i onima u Eštemoi;

29. and who were in Racal, and who were in the cities of Jerahmeel, and who were in the cities of Keni,

29. onima u Karmelu, onima u jerahmeelskim gradovima i onima u kenijskim gradovima;

30. and who were in Hormah, and who were at the lake of Ashan, and who were in Athach,

30. onima u Hormi, onima u Bor Ašanu i onima u Eteru;

31. and who were in Hebron, and to the remainder who were in those places where David had stayed, he and his men.

31. onima u Hebronu i u svim onima mjestima u koja je dolazio David sa svojim ljudima.
