¹And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?

¹A Dávid utiekol z Najota, v Ráme, a prijdúc vravel pred Jonatánom: Čo som urobil? Čo je mojou neprávosťou a čo mojím hriechom pred tvojím otcom, že hľadá moju dušu?

²And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will show it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.

²A on mu povedal: To nech je preč od teba! Nezomrieš. Hľa, môj otec nerobí ničoho, ani veľkého ani malého, bez toho, aby mi toho nepovedal. A prečože by tedy skrýval môj otec túto vec predo mnou? Niet toho.

³And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.

³Ale Dávid ešte prisahal na to a riekol: Tvoj otec vie veľmi dobre, že som našiel milosť v tvojich očiach, a preto si povedal: Nech nezvie o tom Jonatán, aby ho to netrápilo. Ale jako že žije Hospodin, a jako že žije tvoja duša, tak isté je, že sotva je krok medzi mnou a medzi smrťou.

⁴Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.

⁴Vtedy povedal Jonatán Dávidovi: Čokoľvek povie tvoja duša, všetko ti urobím.

⁵And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.

⁵A Dávid riekol Jonatánovi: Hľa, zajtra bude novmesiac, a ja mám sedieť s kráľom, aby som s ním jedol; ale ma pusti, aby som sa skryl na poli až do tretieho večera.

⁶If thy father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.

⁶Ak ma tvoj otec bude naozaj postrádať a bude sa pýtať po mne, povieš mu: Dávid ma veľmi prosil, že by smel zabehnúť do Betlehema, do svojho mesta, lebo je tam výročná obeť za celú jeho rodinu.

⁷If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him.

⁷Ak povie takto: Dobre, pokoj tvojmu služobníkovi. Ale keď sa nahnevá, vtedy vedz, že má pevne umienené vykonať zlé.

⁸Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?

⁸Ale učiníš milosť svojmu služobníkovi, lebo si uviedol svojho služobníka v smluvu Hospodinovu sám so sebou. No, ak je na mne nejaká neprávosť, zabi ma ty, lebo načo by si ma vodil až k svojmu otcovi?!

⁹And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?

⁹A Jonatán povedal: To nech je preč od teba! Lebo veď jestli sa istotne dozviem, že môj otec má naozaj umienené zlé, aby prišlo na teba, či ti toho azda neoznámim?

¹⁰Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father answer thee roughly?

¹⁰A Dávid riekol Jonatánovi: A kto mi oznámi, čo povie alebo čo ti odpovie tvoj otec, tvrde?

¹¹And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.

¹¹Na to povedal Jonatán Dávidovi: Poď, vyjdime von na pole! A tak vyšli obidvaja na pole.

¹²And Jonathan said unto David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not unto thee, and show it thee;

¹²A Jonatán povedal Dávidovi: Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov, svedok, že prezkúmam svojho otca zajtra o tomto čase alebo pozajtre. A keď hľa, je dobrý na Dávida, nuž dobre vtedy pošlem k tebe a zjavím ti to.

¹³The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do thee evil, then I will show it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the LORD be with thee, as he hath been with my father.

¹³Tak nech učiní Hospodin Jonatánovi a tak nech pridá: keby sa ľúbilo môjmu otcovi uviesť na teba zlé, zjavím ti to a pošlem ťa preč a pojdeš v pokoji, a potom nech je Hospodin s tebou tak, ako bol s mojím otcom.

¹⁴And thou shalt not only while yet I live show me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not:

¹⁴A či azda i ty, ak ešte budem žiť, či ty neučiníš so mnou milosti Hospodinovej, aby som nezomrel?

¹⁵But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.

¹⁵A neutneš svojho milosrdenstva od môjho domu až na veky, a to ani vtedy, keď vytne Hospodin nepriateľov Dávidových, každého, s povrchu zeme.

¹⁶So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David's enemies.

¹⁶Tak učinil Jonatán smluvu s domom Dávidovým a povedal: Hospodin vyhľadá neprávosť z ruky nepriateľov Dávidových.

¹⁷And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

¹⁷A ešte raz dal Jonatán prisahať Dávidovi vo svojej láske naproti nemu, lebo ho miloval ako svoju vlastnú dušu.

¹⁸Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.

¹⁸A Jonatán mu povedal: Zajtra bude novmesiac, a môj otec sa bude pýtať po tebe, keď bude tvoje miesto prázdne.

¹⁹And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.

¹⁹A na tretí deň sídeš rýchle a prijdeš na miesto, na ktorom si sa bol skryl v deň činu a zostaneš pri kameni Ázele.

²⁰And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.

²⁰A ja vystrelím tri šípy po jeho strane strieľajúc si do cieľa.

²¹And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for there is peace to thee, and no hurt; as the LORD liveth.

²¹A potom hľa, pošlem chlapca a poviem: Iď, najdi šípy! Ak poviem chlapcovi: Tu hľa, šípy sú sem bližšie od teba, vezmi to! vtedy prijdi, lebo ti je pokoj, a niet nijakého nebezpečenstva, jako že žije Hospodin.

²²But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way: for the LORD hath sent thee away.

²²Ale ak takto poviem mládencovi: Tam hľa, šípy sú tam ďalej od teba, vtedy iď, lebo ťa prepustil Hospodin.

²³And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD be between thee and me for ever.

²³A čo do veci, o ktorej sme hovorili, ja a ty, hľa, Hospodin bude svedkom medzi mnou a medzi tebou až na veky.

²⁴So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat.

²⁴A tak sa skryl Dávid na poli, a bola slávnosť novmesiaca, a kráľ si sadol k pokrmu jesť.

²⁵And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty.

²⁵Kráľ sedel na svojej stolici jako inokedy, na stolici pri stene, a Jonatán povstal, a Abner si sadol vedľa Saula, a miesto Dávidovo zostalo prázdne.

²⁶Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean.

²⁶Ale Saul nehovoril toho dňa ničoho, lebo si povedal: Niečo sa mu prihodilo, asi nie je čistý, dozaista nie je čistý.

²⁷And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?

²⁷A stalo sa na druhý deň, na druhý deň slávnosti novmesiaca, keď zase len bolo prázdne miesto Dávidovo, že povedal Saul Jonatánovi, svojmu synovi: Prečo neprišiel syn Izaiho ani včera ani dnes k jedlu?

²⁸And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem:

²⁸A Jonatán odpovedal Saulovi: Dávid si veľmi prosil odo mňa, žeby smel zabehnúť až do Betlehema

²⁹And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favor in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king's table.

²⁹a povedal: Pusti ma, prosím, lebo máme rodinnú obeť bitnú v meste, a sám môj brat mi prikázal, aby som prišiel, a tedy ak som našiel milosť v tvojich očiach, dovoľ, prosím, aby som odbehol a videl svojich bratov. Preto neprišiel ku stolu kráľovmu.

³⁰Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness?

³⁰Vtedy sa zapálil hnev Saulov na Jonatána a povedal mu: Ty synu prevrátenej matere zpurnej, či ja neviem, že si si zvolil syna Izaiho na svoju hanbu a na hanbu, nahotu svojej matere?

³¹For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.

³¹Lebo po všetky dni, dokiaľ len žije syn Izaiho na zemi, nebudeš stáť pevne ani ty ani tvoje kráľovstvo. Preto teraz pošli hneď a doveď ho ku mne, lebo je synom smrti.

³²And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done?

³²A Jonatán odpovedal Saulovi, svojmu otcovi, a riekol mu: Prečo má zomrieť, čo urobil?

³³And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.

³³Vtedy hodil Saul kopiju do neho, aby ho zabil. A Jonatán poznal, že jeho otec má pevne umienené zabiť Dávida.

³⁴So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.

³⁴A Jonatán vstal od stola rozpálený hnevom, a nejedol pokrmu toho druhého dňa slávnosti novmesiaca, pretože bolestil pre Dávida, že ho potupil jeho otec.

³⁵And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.

³⁵A stalo sa nasledujúceho rána, že vyšiel Jonatán na pole, na čas, dohovorený s Dávidom, a malý chlapec išiel s ním.

³⁶And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

³⁶A povedal svojmu chlapcovi: Nože bež a najdi šípy, ktoré vystrelím. A chlapec bežal, a on vystrelil šíp tak, aby zaletel pred neho.

³⁷And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?

³⁷A keď prišiel chlapec až k miestu šípa, ktorý vystrelil Jonatán, volal Jonatán za chlapcom a vravel: Veď je šíp tam ďalej od teba!

³⁸And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.

³⁸A ešte volal Jonatán za chlapcom: Ponáhľaj sa, utekaj rýchle, nestoj! A chlapec Jonatánov posbieral šípy a prišiel k svojmu pánovi.

³⁹But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.

³⁹A chlapec nevedel o ničom: len Jonatán a Dávid vedeli o veci.

⁴⁰And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city.

⁴⁰Potom dal Jonatán svoje zbrane chlapcovi, ktorého mal so sebou, a povedal mu: Iď, zanes do mesta.

⁴¹And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.

⁴¹A hneď, ako odišiel chlapec, vstal Dávid od poludnej strany a padol na svoju tvár na zem a poklonil sa trikrát, a bozkajúc jeden druhého plakali spolu, až Dávid veľmi plakal.

⁴²And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.

⁴²Potom povedal Jonatán Dávidovi: Idi v pokoji, a to, čo sme my obidvaja prisahali, v mene Hospodinovom, že Hospodin bude svedkom medzi mnou a medzi tebou a medzi mojím semenom a medzi tvojím semenom, nech stojí až na veky.

⁴³A Dávid vstal a išiel. A Jonatán sa navrátil do mesta.
