¹And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?

¹A zase prišli Zífänia k Saulovi do Gibee a povedali: Či sa neskrýva Dávid na vŕšku Hachile naproti púšti?

²Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.

²A Saul vstal a sišiel na púšť Zíf, a s ním tri tisíce mužov, vybraných z Izraela, aby hľadal Dávida na púšti Zífe.

³And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.

³Saul sa rozložil táborom na vŕšku Hachile, ktorý je proti púšti pri ceste, a Dávid sa zdržoval na púšti a videl, že Saul prišiel za ním na púšť.

⁴David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come in very deed.

⁴Preto poslal Dávid vyzvedačov a zvedel, že Saul prišiel cele iste.

⁵And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched round about him.

⁵A Dávid vstal a prišiel k miestu, na ktorom táboril Saul. A Dávid videl miesto, na ktorom ležal Saul aj Abner, syn Nérov, veliteľ jeho vojska. A Saul ležal na mieste, otočenom vozmi, a ľud táboril vôkol neho.

⁶Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.

⁶Vtedy odpovedal Dávid a riekol Achimelechovi Hetejskému a Abišajovi, synovi Ceruje, bratovi Joábovmu, a riekol: Kto pojde so mnou dolu do tábora k Saulovi? A Abišaj povedal: Ja pojdem dolu s tebou.

⁷So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster: but Abner and the people lay round about him.

⁷A tak prišiel Dávid a Abišaj k ľudu vnoci. A hľa, Saul ležal a spal medzi vozmi a jeho kopija bola zabodnutá v zemi pri jeho hlave, a Abner a ľud ležali vôkol neho.

⁸Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time.

⁸Vtedy riekol Abišaj Dávidovi: Bôh zavrel dnes tvojho nepriateľa do tvojej ruky. Preto teraz dovoľ, aby som ho prebodnul kopijou až do zeme jedným razom, a nebude treba, aby som ho bodnul druhý raz.

⁹And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD's anointed, and be guiltless?

⁹Ale Dávid riekol Abišajovi: Nezahub ho! Lebo ktože by vystrel svoju ruku na pomazaného Hospodinovho a bol by bez viny?!

¹⁰David said furthermore, As the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.

¹⁰A ešte riekol Dávid: Ako že žije Hospodin, že len ak by ho uderil Hospodin, alebo ak by prišiel jeho deň, a zomrel by alebo ak by odišiel dolu do vojny a tam by zahynul,

¹¹The LORD forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the LORD's anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go.

¹¹ale ináče nech ma Hospodin chráni od toho, aby som mal vystrieť svoju ruku na pomazaného Hospodinovho. Preto teraz vezmi, prosím, kopiju, ktorá je pri jeho hlave, i krčah na vodu, a pojdeme svojou cestou.

¹²So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster; and they gat them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen upon them.

¹²A tak vzal Dávid kopiju i krčah na vodu pri hlave Saulovej, a išli svojou cestou, a nevidel nikto ani nezvedel ani sa nezobudil, lebo všetci spali, pretože tvrdý spánok od Hospodina padol na nich.

¹³Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill afar off; a great space being between them:

¹³Potom prešiel Dávid na druhú stranu a postavil sa na temene vrchu zďaleka, takže bolo veľké miesto medzi nimi.

¹⁴And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king?

¹⁴A Dávid volal na ľud a na Abnera, syna Nérovho, a vravel: Či sa neozveš, Abner? A Abner odpovedajúc riekol: Kto si ty, ktorý voláš na kráľa?

¹⁵And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.

¹⁵A Dávid riekol Abnerovi: Či nie si ty muž? A kto je tebe rovný v Izraelovi? Nuž prečože si neostríhal svojho pána, kráľa? Lebo prišiel jeden z ľudu, aby zahubil kráľa, tvojho pána.

¹⁶This thing is not good that thou hast done. As the LORD liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the LORD's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his bolster.

¹⁶Nie je to dobrá vec, ktorú si vykonal! Ako že žije Hospodin, istotne ste synmi smrti, pretože ste nestrážili nad svojím pánom, nad pomazaným Hospodinovým! A tak teraz pozri, kde je kopija kráľova a krčah na vodu, ktoré boly pri jeho hlave?

¹⁷And Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.

¹⁷Vtedy poznal Saul hlas Dávidov a povedal: Či je to tvoj hlas, môj synu, Dávide? A Dávid riekol: Je to môj hlas, môj pane, kráľu.

¹⁸And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in mine hand?

¹⁸A ďalej povedal: Prečo prenasleduje môj pán svojho služobníka? Lebo veď čo som urobil, alebo čo zlého je v mojej ruke?

¹⁹Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.

¹⁹Preto teraz počuj, prosím, môj pane, kráľu, slová svojho služobníka: Ak ťa Hospodin naviedol na mňa, nech mu tedy príjemne vonia obetný dar! Ale ak synovia človeka, zlorečení sú pred Hospodinom, pretože ma zahnali dnes, aby som sa nemohol pridružiť k dedičstvu Hospodinovmu, a hovoria u seba: Idi, slúž iným bohom!

²⁰Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.

²⁰A preto teraz nech nepadne moja krv na zem voľakde preč od tvári Hospodinovej, lebo vyšiel kráľ Izraelov, aby hľadal jednu blchu, aby ju honil, ako niekto honí jarabicu na vrchoch.

²¹Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.

²¹Na to povedal Saul: Zhrešil som, navráť sa, môj synu, Dávide, lebo ti už viacej neurobím zlého, za to, že dnes bola drahá moja duša v tvojich očiach. Hľa, bláznive som robil a blúdil som náramne.

²²And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it.

²²A Dávid odpovedajúc riekol: Tu hľa, kopija kráľova, nech prejde sem jeden z mládencov a vezme ju.

²³The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; for the LORD delivered thee into my hand to day, but I would not stretch forth mine hand against the LORD's anointed.

²³A Hospodin nech odplatí každému jeho spravedlivosť a jeho vernosť. Lebo ťa dnes bol vydal Hospodin do mojej ruky, ale nechcel som vystrieť svoju ruku na pomazaného Hospodinovho.

²⁴And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.

²⁴A hľa, jako bola dnes veľkou tvoja duša v mojich očiach, tak nech je veľkou moja duša v očiach Hospodinových, a nech ma vytrhne zo všetkého súženia!

²⁵Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt both do great things, and also shalt still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.

²⁵Vtedy povedal Saul Dávidovi: Buď požehnaný ty, môj synu, Dávide! Istotne aj učiníš aj istotne zmôžeš. A tak išiel Dávid svojou cestou, a Saul sa vrátil na svoje miesto.
