¹Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines fight against Keilah, and they rob the threshingfloors.

¹Potom oznámili Dávidovi a riekli: Hľa, Filištíni bojujú proti Keile a lúpia humná.

²Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the LORD said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah.

²Preto sa pýtal Dávid Hospodina a povedal: Či mám ísť a uderiť na tých Filištínov? A Hospodin riekol Dávidovi: Idi, porazíš Filištínov a zachrániš Keilu.

³And David's men said unto him, Behold, we be afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we come to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?

³Ale mužovia Dávidovi povedali jemu, Dávidovi: Hľa, bojíme sa tu v Judsku a o koľko viacej máme príčinu sa báť, keď pojdeme do Keily proti vojskám Filištínov?!

⁴Then David inquired of the LORD yet again. And the LORD answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thine hand.

⁴Preto sa ešte raz pýtal Dávid Hospodina, a Hospodin mu odpovedal a riekol: Vstaň, sídi do Keily, lebo ja dám Filištínov do tvojej ruky.

⁵So David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and smote them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.

⁵A tak odišiel Dávid i jeho mužovia do Keily a bojoval proti Filištínom a zajal ich dobytok a uderiac na nich spôsobil im veľkú porážku a tak zachránil Dávid obyvateľov Keily.

⁶And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand.

⁶A stalo sa, keď utekal Ebiatár, syn Achimelechov, k Dávidovi do Keily, že sišiel dolu s efodom v ruke.

⁷And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars.

⁷Lež potom oznámili Saulovi, že Dávid vošiel do Keily, a Saul povedal: Bôh ho zavrhol a vydal do mojej ruky, lebo sa zavrel vojdúc do mesta, ktoré má brány i závory.

⁸And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.

⁸A Saul povolal všetok ľud do boja, rozkázal sísť do Keily a obľahnúť Dávida i jeho mužov.

⁹And David knew that Saul secretly practiced mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod.

⁹Ale Dávid zvediac, že Saul tajne strojí proti nemu zlé, riekol Ebiatárovi, kňazovi: Nože dones sem efod!

¹⁰Then said David, O LORD God of Israel, thy servant hath certainly heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.

¹⁰A Dávid riekol: Hospodine, Bože Izraelov, tvoj služobník počul cele istú zvesť o tom, že Saul hľadá prijsť do Keily zkaziť mesto pre mňa.

¹¹Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O LORD God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the LORD said, He will come down.

¹¹Či ma vydajú mužovia Keily do jeho ruky? Či ozaj síde Saul, ako počul tvoj služobník? Hospodine, Bože Izraelov, oznám to, prosím, svojmu služobníkovi! A Hospodin riekol: Síde.

¹²Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the LORD said, They will deliver thee up.

¹²A ešte povedal Dávid: Či vydajú mužovia Keily mňa i mojich mužov do ruky Saulovej? A Hospodin riekol: Vydajú.

¹³Then David and his men, which were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbare to go forth.

¹³Vtedy vstal Dávid i jeho mužovia, okolo šesťsto mužov, a vyšli z Keily a išli, kam išli. Potom oznámili Saulovi, že Dávid ušiel z Keily, a preto nechal tak a nevyšiel.

¹⁴And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.

¹⁴A Dávid býval na púšti v pevných miestach a býval aj na vrchu, na púšti Zífe. A Saul ho hľadal po všetky dni, ale Bôh ho nevydal do jeho ruky.

¹⁵And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood.

¹⁵A Dávid videl, že Saul vyšiel hľadať jeho dušu. A Dávid bol na púšti Zífe, v lese.

¹⁶And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.

¹⁶Vtedy vstal Jonatán, syn Saulov, a odišiel k Dávidovi do lesa a posilnil jeho ruku v Bohu.

¹⁷And he said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth.

¹⁷A povedal mu: Neboj sa, lebo ťa nenajde ruka Saula, môjho otca; ale ty budeš kraľovať nad Izraelom, a ja budem prvým po tebe, a vie to aj Saul, môj otec.

¹⁸And they two made a covenant before the LORD: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house.

¹⁸A učinili obidvaja smluvu pred Hospodinom. A Dávid zostal v lese, a Jonatán odišiel zpät do svojho domu.

¹⁹Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself with us in strong holds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?

¹⁹Ale potom odišli Zífänia hore k Saulovi do Gibee a povedali: Či sa Dávid neskrýva u nás na pevných miestach v lese, na vŕšku Hachile, ktorý je z pravej strany púšte?

²⁰Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him into the king's hand.

²⁰Tak teraz podľa všetkej žiadosti svojej duše, ó, kráľu, jako si praješ sísť, sídi, a našou vecou bude vydať ho do ruky kráľovej.

²¹And Saul said, Blessed be ye of the LORD; for ye have compassion on me.

²¹A Saul povedal: Požehnaní vy Hospodinovi, že máte ľútosť nado mnou.

²²Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who hath seen him there: for it is told me that he dealeth very subtilly.

²²Nože tedy iďte, pripravte ešte dôkladnejšie a vyzveďte a prezrite jeho miesto, kam sa obráti jeho noha, a kto ho tam videl, lebo mi povedali, že je veľmi chytrý.

²³See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah.

²³A tedy len prezrite a zveďte všetky jeho skrýše, v ktorých sa skrýva, a potom sa vráťte ku mne s istou vecou, a pojdem s vami, a stane sa, ak bude v zemi, že ho budem hľadať vo všetkých tisícoch Júdových.

²⁴And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon.

²⁴A tak vstali a išli do Zífa pred Saulom. A Dávid a jeho mužovia boli na púšti Máone, na rovine, po pravej strane púšte.

²⁵Saul also and his men went to seek him. And they told David; wherefore he came down into a rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.

²⁵A Saul odišiel i jeho mužovia hľadať. Ale keď to oznámili Dávidovi, sišiel so skaly a býval na púšti Máone. A keď počul o tom Saul, honil Dávida po púšti Máone.

²⁶And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about to take them.

²⁶Saul išiel po jednej strane vrchu, a Dávid a jeho mužovia išli po druhej strane vrchu. A Dávid sa ponáhľal ujsť pred Saulom, lebo Saul a jeho mužovia obkľučovali Dávida a jeho mužov, aby ich zajali.

²⁷But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land.

²⁷Ale v tom prišiel posol k Saulovi, ktorý hovoril: Ponáhľaj sa a poď, lebo Filištíni vtrhli do zeme.

²⁸Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Selahammahlekoth.

²⁸Vtedy sa vrátil Saul od prenasledovania Dávida a išiel proti Filištínom. Preto nazvali to miesto Skalou rozdelení. A Dávid odíduc odtiaľ hore býval v pevných miestach na púšti Én-gedi.

²⁹And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds at Engedi.
