¹And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David.

¹A Saul hovoril Jonatánovi, svojmu synovi, a všetkým svojim služobníkom, aby zabili Dávida. Ale Jonatán, syn Saulov, mal veľmi rád Dávida.

²But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:

²A Jonatán oznámil Dávidovi a riekol: Saul, môj otec, hľadá možnosť, aby ťa zabil. Preto teraz, prosím, maj na seba pozor zajtra ráno a budeš sedieť v skrýši a schováš sa.

³And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee.

³A ja vyjdem a budem stáť vedľa svojho otca na poli, na ktorom ty budeš, a ja budem hovoriť svojmu otcovi o tebe, a keď uvidím, čo bude, oznámim ti to.

⁴And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:

⁴Tak hovoril Jonatán Saulovi, svojmu otcovi, dobré o Dávidovi a riekol mu: Nech nehreší kráľ proti svojmu služobníkovi, Dávidovi, lebo veď sa ničím neprehrešil proti tebe, a preto, že to, čo robí, je tebe veľmi dobré.

⁵For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?

⁵A vystaviac svoj život nebezpečenstvu zabil Filištína, a Hospodin učinil veľké spasenie celému Izraelovi. Videl si to a radoval si sa. A tak prečo hrešíš proti nevinnej krvi chcúc zabiť Dávida, bez príčiny?

⁶And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain.

⁶A Saul poslúchol hlas Jonatánov a Saul prisahal: Ako že žije Hospodin, nezomrie.

⁷And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.

⁷Potom zavolal Jonatán Dávida, a Jonatán mu oznámil všetky tie slová. A Jonatán doviedol Dávida k Saulovi, a bol pred ním ako vše predtým.

⁸And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him.

⁸A zase bola vojna. A Dávid vyšiel a bojoval proti Filištínom a uderil na nich tak, že im spôsobil veľkú porážku, a ostatní utiekli pred ním.

⁹And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand.

⁹Ale zase prišiel zlý duch Hospodinov na Saula, keď sedel vo svojom dome a mal svoju kopiju vo svojej ruke, a Dávid hral rukou.

¹⁰And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin: but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.

¹⁰A Saul hľadal vraziť kopijou do Dávida, a to až do steny, ale sa vyhnul Saulovi, a tak vrazil kopiju do steny. A Dávid utiekol a unikol smrti tej noci.

¹¹Saul also sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David's wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain.

¹¹A Saul poslal poslov do domu Dávidovho, aby ho striehli a ráno zabili. Ale to oznámila Dávidovi Míchaľ, jeho žena, a riekla: Ak nezachrániš útekom svojho života tejto noci, zajtra ťa zabijú.

¹²So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.

¹²A tak spustila Míchaľ Dávida oblokom, a odišiel a utiekol a zachránil sa útekom.

¹³And Michal took an image, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster, and covered it with a cloth.

¹³Potom vzala Míchaľ modlu domácich bohov a vložila ju do postele a koziu kožušinu položila konča jej hlavy a prikryla rúchom.

¹⁴And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.

¹⁴Keď potom poslal Saul poslov, aby vzali Dávida, riekla: Je nemocný.

¹⁵And Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.

¹⁵Ale Saul znova poslal poslov, aby pozreli Dávida, a riekol: Doneste ho na posteli hore ku mne, nech ho zabijem.

¹⁶And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster.

¹⁶A keď prišli poslovia, tu hľa, v posteli modla domácich bohov a konča jej hlavy kozia kožušina.

¹⁷And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?

¹⁷Vtedy povedal Saul Míchali: Prečo si ma tak oklamala a pustila si môjho nepriateľa, aby ušiel? A Míchaľ odpovedala Saulovi: On mi povedal: Pusti ma, lebo načo ťa mám zabiť?!

¹⁸So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.

¹⁸A Dávid utekal a tak sa zachránil útekom a prišiel k Samuelovi do Rámy a oznámil mu všetko, čo mu urobil Saul. Potom odišiel on i Samuel, a bývali v Najote.

¹⁹And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.

¹⁹Potom oznámili Saulovi, že hľa, Dávid je v Najote, v Ráme.

²⁰And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.

²⁰A Saul poslal poslov, aby vzali Dávida. A keď prišli a videli shromaždenie prorokujúcich prorokov a Samuela stáť, postaveného nad nimi, vtedy prišiel Duch Boží na poslov Saulových, a prorokovali aj oni.

²¹And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.

²¹Keď to oznámili Saulovi, poslal iných poslov, a prorokovali aj oni. A Saul poslal ešte aj tretích poslov, ale prorokovali aj tí.

²²Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.

²²Napokon odišiel aj on sám do Rámy a keď prišiel až ku tej veľkej cisterne, ktorá je v Séku, pýtal sa a vravel: Kde je Samuel a Dávid? A ktosi mu povedal: Hľa, v Najote, v Ráme.

²³And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.

²³A išiel ta, do Najota, v Ráme. Ale prišiel aj na neho Duch Boží, a tak išiel pozvoľna a prorokoval, až prišiel do Najota v Ráme.

²⁴And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?

²⁴A vyzliekol aj on svoje rúcho a tiež prorokoval pred Samuelom. A padol a ležal nahý celý ten deň a celú tú noc. Preto hovoria: Či je i Saul medzi prorokmi?
