¹Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armor, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that is on the other side. But he told not his father.

¹A stalo sa jedného dňa, že riekol Jonatán, syn Saulov, mládencovi, ktorý nosil jeho zbraň: Poď, prejdime k posádke Filištínov, ktorá je tamto na druhej stane! Ale svojmu otcovi nepovedal o tom.

²And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men;

²A Saul dlel na konci Gibee pod granátovou jabloňou, ktorá bola v Migróne. A ľudu, ktorý bol s ním, bolo okolo šesťsto mužov.

³And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD's priest in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.

³A Achiáš, syn Achitúba, brata Ichabóda, syna Pinchasa, syna Éliho, kňaza Hospodinovho v Síle, nosil efód. A ľud nevedel, že odišiel Jonatán.

⁴And between the passages, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines' garrison, there was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

⁴A medzi priechodmi, ktorými hľadal Jonatán možnosť prejsť na posádku Filištínov, bola príkra skala jako zub z jednej strany priechodu a príkra skala jako zub z druhej strany priechodu; meno jednej bolo Bócec, a meno druhej Sene.

⁵The forefront of the one was situate northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah.

⁵Jeden zub čnel od severa naproti Michmasu a druhý od juhu naproti Gabe.

⁶And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armor, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.

⁶A Jonatán riekol mládencovi, ktorý nosil jeho zbraň: Poď, prejdime k posádke týchto neobrezancov; možno, že Hospodin vykoná za nás, lebo však Hospodinovi nie je ťažko zachrániť už či mnohom a či málom.

⁷And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thine heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.

⁷A jeho zbrojnoš mu povedal: Učiň všetko, čokoľvek je v tvojom srdci. Obráť sa, kam chceš; hľa, budem s tebou podľa žiadosti tvojho srdca.

⁸Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto these men, and we will discover ourselves unto them.

⁸A Jonatán riekol: Hľa, my prejdeme k mužom a ukážeme sa im.

⁹If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them.

⁹Ak nám povedia takto: Čakajte, až prijdeme k vám, budeme stáť na svojom mieste a nepojdeme hore za nimi.

¹⁰But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up: for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be a sign unto us.

¹⁰Ale ak povedia takto: Poďte hore na nás, vtedy pojdeme hore, lebo ich Hospodin vydal do našej ruky, a toto nám bude znamením.

¹¹And both of them discovered themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.

¹¹A tedy sa ukázali obidvaja posádke Filištínov. A Filištíni povedali: Hľa, tamto Hebreji vychádzajú z dier, do ktorých sa boli ukryli!

¹²And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me: for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.

¹²A mužovia posádky odpovedali Jonatánovi a jeho zbrojnošovi a riekli: Poďte hore k nám, a povieme vám niečo! Vtedy riekol Jonatán svojmu zbrojnošovi: Poď za mnou hore, lebo ich Hospodin vydal do ruky Izraelovej.

¹³And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armourbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armourbearer slew after him.

¹³A tak vyšiel Jonatán hore na svojich rukách a na svojich nohách a jeho zbrojnoš za ním. A padali pred Jonatánom, a jeho zbrojnoš zabíjal za ním.

¹⁴And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of land, which a yoke of oxen might plow.

¹⁴To bola prvá porážka, v ktorej zabil Jonatán a jeho zbrojnoš okolo dvadsiatich mužov asi jako na pol kuse poľa, ktorý zorie pár volov za deň.

¹⁵And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling.

¹⁵Na to povstal veliký strach, takže sa všetko triaslo v tábore, na poli i vo všetkom ľude. Posádka i ten zhubca sa tiež triasli strachom, takže sa chvela zem, lebo to bol strach od Boha.

¹⁶And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down one another.

¹⁶A Saulovi pozorovatelia videli v Gibei Benjaminovej, že hľa, množstvo sa rozplýva a že chodí jako v nejakom zmätku sem a ta.

¹⁷Then said Saul unto the people that were with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there.

¹⁷Vtedy povedal Saul ľudu, ktorý bol s ním: Nože spočítajte mužstvo a vidzte, kto odišiel od nás! A keď spočítali, videli, že hľa, nebolo Jonatána ani jeho zbrojnoša.

¹⁸And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel.

¹⁸A Saul povedal Achiášovi: Dones sem truhlu Božiu. Lebo truhla Božia bola toho dňa so synmi Izraelovými.

¹⁹And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest, that the noise that was in the host of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thine hand.

¹⁹A stalo sa, kým hovoril Saul kňazovi, že hrmot, ktorý bol v tábore Filištínov, sa šíril viac a viac a rozmáhal sa, a preto povedal Saul kňazovi: Nechaj tak.

²⁰And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.

²⁰Vtedy sa hurtom shromaždili, Saul i všetok ľud, ktorý bol s ním, a prišli až k bitke, a tu hľa, meč druha bol obrátený proti jeho druhovi, a bol náramne veľký zmätok.

²¹Moreover the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before that time, which went up with them into the camp from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan.

²¹A boli aj Hebreji vše za Filištínov, ktorí tiež prišli s nimi do tábora na okolo, aj tí sa teraz obrátili, aby boli s Izraelom, ktorý bol so Saulom a s Jonatánom.

²²Likewise all the men of Israel which had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.

²²A všetci mužovia Izraelovi, ktorí sa skrývali na vrchu Efraimovom, počuli, že utekajú Filištíni, a pripojili sa aj oni a stíhali ich v boji bežiac tesne za nimi.

²³So the LORD saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over unto Bethaven.

²³Tak zachránil Hospodin Izraela toho dňa. A boj sa pretiahol až za Bét-áven.

²⁴And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted any food.

²⁴A hoci boli mužovia Izraelovi ukonaní toho dňa, Saul zaviazal ľud prísahou povediac: Zlorečený muž, ktorý by jedol chlieb do večera, aby som sa pomstil na svojich nepriateľoch. A tak nikto zo všetkého ľudu neokúsil chleba.

²⁵And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.

²⁵A všetok ľud zeme vošiel do lesa, kde bolo hojne medu na poli.

²⁶And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.

²⁶A keď vošiel ľud do lesa, videl, že hľa, tečie med, ale nikto nesiahol svojou rukou k svojím ústam, lebo ľud sa bál prísahy.

²⁷But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.

²⁷Ale Jonatán nepočul, keď zaväzoval jeho otec ľud prísahou, a tak vystrel koniec svojej palice, ktorú mal vo svojej ruke, a omočil ho do plásta medu a obrátil svoju ruku k svojim ústam, a rozsvietily sa jeho oči.

²⁸Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food this day. And the people were faint.

²⁸Na to odpovedal ktorýsi z ľudu a riekol: Tvoj otec veľmi zaviazal ľud prísahou a povedal: Zlorečený muž, ktorý by dnes jedol chleba, hoci bol ľud ustatý.

²⁹Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.

²⁹Na to riekol Jonatán: Môj otec zarmútil zem. Nože pozrite, že sa rozsvietily moje oči, keď som ochutnal trochu tohoto medu.

³⁰How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?

³⁰A čo by bolo bývalo len vtedy, keby sa bol dnes smele najedol ľud z koristi svojich nepriateľov, ktorú našiel! Lebo či by teraz nebola väčšia bývala porážka Filištínov?

³¹And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint.

³¹A tak bili toho dňa z Filištínov od Michmasa až do Ajalona. A ľud bol veľmi unavený.

³²And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood.

³²Preto sa ľud vrhol na korisť a naberúc drobného dobytka a volov a teliat porážal na zem, a tak jedol ľud s krvou.

³³Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day.

³³Potom oznámili Saulovi a vraveli: Hľa, ľud hreší proti Hospodinovi, lebo jie s krvou. A povedal: Dopustili ste sa nevernosti. Dovaľte ihneď ku mne veľký kameň.

³⁴And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.

³⁴A zase povedal Saul: Rozídite sa medzi ľud a povedzte im: Doveďte ku mne každý svojho vola a každý svoje dobytča a zabíjajte tu a jedzte a nehrešte proti Hospodinovi jediac s krvou. A tak doviedol všetok ľud, každý vlastnoručne svojho vola tej istej noci, a zabíjali tam.

³⁵And Saul built an altar unto the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built unto the LORD.

³⁵A Saul postavil oltár Hospodinovi. To bol prvý oltár, ktorý postavil Hospodinovi.

³⁶And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.

³⁶A Saul povedal: Nože sídime za Filištínmi vnoci a budeme lúpiť u nich až do ranného svetla a neponechajme z nich nikoho. A povedali: Urob, čokoľvek sa ti vidí za dobré. Ale kňaz riekol: Pristúpme prv sem k Bohu.

³⁷And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day.

³⁷A tak sa pýtal Saul Boha: Či mám sísť za Filištínmi? Či ich vydáš do ruky Izraelovej? Ale mu neodpovedal toho dňa.

³⁸And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.

³⁸Vtedy povedal Saul: Pristúpte sem, všetci náčelníci ľudu, a vyzveďte a vidzte, čím sa dnes vykonal tento hriech?

³⁹For, as the LORD liveth, which saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people that answered him.

³⁹Lebo jako že žije Hospodin, ktorý zachraňuje Izraela, keby to bolo hoci pre Jonatána, môjho syna, i ten zomrie. A nikto mu neodpovedal zo všetkého ľudu.

⁴⁰Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee.

⁴⁰Vtedy povedal všetkému Izraelovi: Vy buďte na jednej strane, a ja a Jonatán, môj syn, budeme na druhej strane. A ľud povedal Saulovi: Urob, čo uznáš za dobré!

⁴¹Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel, Give a perfect lot. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped.

⁴¹A Saul povedal Hospodinovi, Bohu Izraelovmu: Daj znať dokonale! A chytený bol Jonatán a Saul, a ľud vyšiel z toho.

⁴²And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.

⁴²A Saul povedal: Hoďte los medzi mnou a medzi Jonatánom, mojím synom. A postihnutý bol Jonatán.

⁴³Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in mine hand, and, lo, I must die.

⁴³Vtedy povedal Saul Jonatánovi: Povedz mi, čo si učinil? A Jonatán mu povedal a riekol: Koncom palice, ktorú mám vo svojej ruke, som naozaj okúsil trochu medu. Nuž hľa, preto zomriem.

⁴⁴And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.

⁴⁴A Saul odpovedal: Nech tak učiní Bôh a tak nech pridá, že istotne zomrieš, Jonatáne!

⁴⁵And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? God forbid: as the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not.

⁴⁵Ale ľud povedal Saulovi: Či má zomrieť Jonatán, ktorý spôsobil túto tak veľkú záchranu v Izraelovi? Kdeže by! Jako že žije Hospodin, nepadne vlas s jeho hlavy na zem, lebo veď s Bohom to učinil dnes. A tak vyslobodil ľud Jonatána, a nezomrel.

⁴⁶Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place.

⁴⁶Vtedy odišiel Saul hore nechajúc Filištínov, a Filištíni tiež išli na svoje miesto.

⁴⁷So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he vexed them.

⁴⁷A Saul zaujmúc kráľovstvo nad Izraelom bojoval dookola proti všetkým svojim nepriateľom, proti Moábovi, proti synom Ammonovým, proti Edomovi, proti kráľom Cóby, proti Filištínom, a všade, kamkoľvek sa obrátil, páchal ukrutnosť.

⁴⁸And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them.

⁴⁸Keď potom nadobudnul moci, zbil Amalecha a tak vytrhol Izraela z ruky jeho lupiča.

⁴⁹Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchishua: and the names of his two daughters were these; the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:

⁴⁹A synovia Saulovi boli: Jonatán, Jišvi a Malkišua, a mená jeho dvoch dcér boly: meno staršej bolo Mérab, a meno mladšej Míkoľ.

⁵⁰And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of the captain of his host was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.

⁵⁰A meno ženy Saulovej bolo Achinoam, dcéra Achimácova. A meno veliteľa jeho vojska bolo Abner, syn Néra, strýca Saulovho.

⁵¹And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.

⁵¹Kíš, otec Saulov, a Nér, otec Abnerov, bol syn Abielov.

⁵²And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him.

⁵²A vojna bola krutá proti Filištínom po všetky dni Saulove. A kde videl Saul nejakého muža udatného alebo silného, vzal ho k sebe.
