¹And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;

¹A stalo sa, keď prišiel Dávid i jeho mužovia do Ciklagu na tretí deň, že videl, že Amalechiti vtrhli do južného kraja i do Ciklagu a zbili Ciklag a spálili ho ohňom.

²And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.

²A zajali ženy, ktoré boly v ňom, i všetko, od malého až do veľkého; nezabili nikoho, ale ženúc odviedli a išli svojou cestou.

³So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.

³A keď prišiel Dávid a jeho mužovia k mestu, videl, že hľa, je spálené ohňom, a že ich ženy, ich synovia aj ich dcéry sú odvedené do zajatia.

⁴Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.

⁴Vtedy pozdvihol Dávid i ľud, ktorý bol s ním, svoj hlas, a plakali, až už nebolo v nich viacej sily plakať.

⁵And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

⁵Zajaté boly aj obe ženy Dávidove, Achinoam Jizreelská, i Abigaiľ, predtým žena Nábala Karmelského.

⁶And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.

⁶A Dávidovi bolo veľmi úzko, lebo ľud hovoril, aby ho ukameňovali, pretože horkým žiaľom bola naplnená duša všetkého ľudu, lebo každý žialil nad svojimi synmi a nad svojimi dcérami. Ale Dávid sa posilnil v Hospodinovi, svojom Bohu.

⁷And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.

⁷Potom riekol Dávid Ebiatárovi, kňazovi, synovi Achimelechovmu: Dones mi, prosím, efod. A Ebiatár doniesol efod k Dávidovi.

⁸And David inquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.

⁸A Dávid sa dopytoval Hospodina a povedal: Či mám prenasledovať tú rotu a či ju dostihnem? A riekol mu: Prenasleduj, lebo istotne dostihneš a istotne vytrhneš.

⁹So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.

⁹A tak išiel Dávid, on i šesťsto mužov, ktorí boli s ním, a prišli až k potoku Besor, kde tí ostatné, zanechaní, zastáli.

¹⁰But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.

¹⁰Ďalej prenasledoval iba Dávid a štyristo mužov. Zastálo dvesto mužov, ktorí ustali tak, že nevládali prejsť potok Besor.

¹¹And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;

¹¹A našli nejakého egyptského muža na poli, ktorého doviedli k Dávidovi a dali mu chleba, a zjedol, aj sa mu dali napiť vody.

¹²And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.

¹²A tiež mu dali kus hrudy sušených fíkov i dva sväzky sušeného hrozna. A keď pojedol, navrátil sa k nemu jeho duch, lebo nejedol chleba ani nepil vody už tri dni a tri noci.

¹³And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.

¹³A Dávid mu riekol: Čí si ty a odkiaľ si? A odpovedal: Som egyptský mládenec, sluha amalechitského muža, a môj pán ma zanechal, lebo som chorý toto už tretí deň.

¹⁴We made an invasion upon the south of the Cherethites, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.

¹⁴Boli sme vpadli do južného kraja Keréťanov i na územie, ktoré patrí Judsku, i na južnú stranu Kálefovu a Ciklag sme spálili ohňom.

¹⁵And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company.

¹⁵A Dávid mu riekol: Či ma zavedieš dolu k tej rote? A on povedal: Prisahaj mi na Boha, že ma nezabiješ a že ma nevydáš do ruky môjho pána, potom ťa zavediem dolu k tej rote.

¹⁶And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.

¹⁶A zaviedol ho. A hľa, práve sa boli rozložili po tvári celej zeme jediac a pijúc a slávili pre všetku tú veľkú korisť, ktorú vzali zo zeme Filištínov i zo zeme Júdovej.

¹⁷And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled.

¹⁷A tak ich bil Dávid od mrku až do večera druhého dňa, a neušiel nikto z nich krome štyristo mladých mužov, ktorí vysadli na veľblúdov a utiekli.

¹⁸And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.

¹⁸A Dávid vytrhol všetko, čo boli vzali, Amalech, aj obe svoje ženy vytrhol Dávid.

¹⁹And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.

¹⁹Ani im nič nechýbalo, ani malé ani veľké, jako ani nechýbal nikto zo synov ani z dcér, nechýbalo ani z koristi ani vôbec nič z toho, čo im boli vzali; všetko dopravil Dávid zpät.

²⁰And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.

²⁰A Dávid vzal všetko drobné stádo, ovce a kozy, i hovädá, a tí, ktorí išli pred tým dobytkom, vraveli: Toto je korisť Dávidova.

²¹And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.

²¹Keď potom prišiel Dávid k tým dvesto mužom, ktorí boli tak ustali, že nevládali ísť za Dávidom, a ktorých boli zanechali pri potoku Besore, tí vyšli vústrety Dávidovi a vústrety ľudu, ktorý bol s ním. A Dávid pristúpil k ľudu a pozdravil ho.

²²Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.

²²Ale všetci mužovia, zlí a beliálski, z mužov, ktorí boli išli s Dávidom, odpovedali a riekli: Pretože neišli s nami, nedáme im z koristi, ktorú sme vytrhli, iba čo každému dáme jeho ženu a jeho synov, a tak nech si odvedú a idú.

²³Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.

²³Ale Dávid riekol: Nerobte tak, moji bratia, s tým, čo nám dal Hospodin, ktorý nás ostríhal a dal tú rotu lupičov, ktorá bola prišla na nás, do našej ruky.

²⁴For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.

²⁴Lebo veď kto by vás poslúchol v tejto veci?! Ale jaký diel bude toho, ktorý išiel dolu do boja, taký bude i diel toho, ktorý strážiac sedel pri batožine, rovnako sa rozdelia.

²⁵And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.

²⁵A tak to bývalo od toho dňa i potom, a učinil to zákonom a obyčajou Izraelovi až do tohoto dňa.

²⁶And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;

²⁶A keď prišiel Dávid do Ciklagu, poslal z koristi starším Judska, svojim priateľom, a odkázal: Hľa, pre vás požehnanie, dar to z koristi, vzatej od nepriateľov Hospodinových.
