¹Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armor, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that is on the other side. But he told not his father.

¹In zgodi se nekega dne, da veli Jonatan, sin Savlov, mladeniču, ki mu je nosil orožje: Pridi, pojdiva tja k prednji straži Filistejcev, ki je na oni strani. A očetu svojemu ni tega povedal.

²And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men;

²In Savel je stanoval ob zadnjem koncu Gibee pod granatovcem, ki je v Migronu; bilo pa je pri njem ljudstva okoli šeststo mož.

³And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD's priest in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.

³In Ahija, sin Ahituba, Ikabodovega brata, sina Pinehasa, sinu Elijevega, duhovnika GOSPODOVEGA v Silu, je nosil naramnik. In ljudstvo ni vedelo, da je Jonatan odšel.

⁴And between the passages, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines' garrison, there was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

⁴Ob prelazu pa, koder je skušal Jonatan preiti k prednji straži Filistejcev, je bila rtasta skala na tej in rtasta skala na oni strani; ime prvi je bilo Bozez, drugi pa Sene.

⁵The forefront of the one was situate northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah.

⁵En rt se vzpenja kakor steber na severu proti Mikmasu in drugi na jugu proti Gebi.

⁶And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armor, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.

⁶In Jonatan reče mladeniču, oprodi svojemu: Pridi, pojdiva na ono stran k prednji straži teh neobrezancev! Morebiti da bo GOSPOD delal za naju; zakaj GOSPODU ni težko storiti rešitve po velikem ali majhnem številu.

⁷And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thine heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.

⁷Nato mu odgovori oproda njegov: Stóri vse, kar ti je v srcu; kreni kamorkoli, glej, jaz sem s teboj po tvojem srcu!

⁸Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto these men, and we will discover ourselves unto them.

⁸Jonatan torej veli: Glej, ko prideva na on kraj k tem možem in se jim prikaževa,

⁹If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them.

⁹ako nama poreko: Stojta, dokler ne pridemo k vama! obstaneva na svojem mestu in ne pojdeva gori k njim.

¹⁰But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up: for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be a sign unto us.

¹⁰Ako pa poreko: Pridita gori k nam! stopiva gori, zakaj GOSPOD jih je nama dal v roke. In to nama bodi znamenje.

¹¹And both of them discovered themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.

¹¹Prikažeta se torej oba straži Filistejcev; in Filistejci reko: Glej, Hebrejci lezejo iz lukenj, kamor so se bili poskrili.

¹²And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me: for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.

¹²In možje, ki so stali na straži, ogovore Jonatana in oprodo njegovega, rekoč: Pridita gori k nam, da vama nekaj pokažemo! In Jonatan veli oprodi svojemu: Stopaj za menoj, zakaj GOSPOD jih je dal v roke Izraelu.

¹³And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armourbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armourbearer slew after him.

¹³In Jonatan leze gori po rokah in po nogah, in oproda njegov za njim. In oni padajo pred Jonatanom, in njegov oproda jih pobija za njim.

¹⁴And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of land, which a yoke of oxen might plow.

¹⁴Tako sta jih Jonatan in oproda njegov v tej prvi bitki pobila okoli dvajset mož kakor na polovici brazde na orali njive.

¹⁵And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling.

¹⁵In strah je prišel v tabor na polju in med vse ljudstvo; tudi straže in plenilce je obšel strah, in zemlja se je tresla, kajti strah je bil od Boga.

¹⁶And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down one another.

¹⁶In stražarji Savlovi v Gibei Benjaminovi so gledali, in glej, množica se razpršuje in bega semtertja.

¹⁷Then said Saul unto the people that were with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there.

¹⁷Tedaj veli Savel ljudstvu, ki je bilo pri njem: Preštejte se in oglejte, kdo je izmed naših odšel! In ko so prešteli, glej, Jonatana in oprode njegovega ni bilo tam.

¹⁸And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel.

¹⁸Nato veli Savel Ahiju: Prinesi sem skrinjo GOSPODOVO! Zakaj skrinja GOSPODOVA je bila tisti čas s sinovi Izraelovimi.

¹⁹And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest, that the noise that was in the host of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thine hand.

¹⁹In ko Savel še govori z duhovnikom, postane hrup v taboru Filistejcev večji in silnejši. In Savel reče duhovniku: Umakni roko svojo!

²⁰And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.

²⁰In Savel skliče vse ljudstvo, kar ga je bilo pri njem, in pohité tja v bitko, in glej, vsakega meč je sekal svojega bližnjega, in bila je velika zmešnjava.

²¹Moreover the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before that time, which went up with them into the camp from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan.

²¹Pa tudi Hebrejci, ki so bili prej pri Filistejcih in so iz okolice šli ž njimi gori v tabor, so se zdaj pridružili Izraelu, ki je bil pri Savlu in Jonatanu.

²²Likewise all the men of Israel which had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.

²²Takisto se vsi Izraelovi možje, ki so se bili poskrili na Efraimskem gorovju, ko slišijo, da Filistejci beže, pridružijo svojim v boju ter jih podijo.

²³So the LORD saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over unto Bethaven.

²³Tako je rešil GOSPOD tisti dan Izraela; in bitka se je raztegnila do Betavena.

²⁴And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted any food.

²⁴A možje Izraelovi so se preveč upehali tisti dan. Savel pa je zarotil vse ljudstvo, rekoč: Proklet bodi mož, ki bi kaj jedel do večera, da se maščujem nad sovražniki svojimi. Nihče torej iz ljudstva ni okusil kruha.

²⁵And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.

²⁵In vse ljudstvo je prišlo v gozd, in tam je bilo medu po tleh.

²⁶And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.

²⁶In ko je ljudstvo prišlo v gozd, glej, med se je cedil; ali nihče ga ni del z roko k ustom svojim, kajti ljudstvo se je balo tiste zakletve.

²⁷But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.

²⁷Jonatan pa ni bil slišal, ko je oče njegov zarotil ljudstvo; zato iztegne palico, ki jo je imel v roki, in njen konec pomoči v satovje medu in ga z roko poda k ustom svojim; in oči se mu razsvetijo.

²⁸Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food this day. And the people were faint.

²⁸Tedaj izpregovori eden iz ljudstva in reče: Oče tvoj je z ostro prisego zavezal ljudstvo, veleč: Proklet bodi mož, ki bi danes jedel kaj; in ljudstvo je bilo že utrujeno.

²⁹Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.

²⁹Nato reče Jonatan: V nesrečo je spravil oče moj deželo. Poglejte vendar, kako so se mi oči razsvetile, ker sem le malo okusil tega medu!

³⁰How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?

³⁰Koliko bolj, ako bi bilo ljudstvo svobodno jedlo od ropa svojih sovražnikov, ki ga je dobilo! Ali bi ne bil še večji poboj Filistejcev?

³¹And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint.

³¹In pobijali so ta dan Filistejce od Mikmasa do Ajalona, dasi je bilo ljudstvo silno trudno.

³²And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood.

³²Potem se ljudstvo loti ropa, in vzemo ovce in goveda in teleta in jih koljejo na tleh, in jih jedo s krvjo vred.

³³Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day.

³³To pa oznanijo Savlu in reko: Glej, ljudstvo greši zoper GOSPODA, ker jedo s krvjo vred! On veli: Spačeno ste delali! Privalite zdaj k meni velik kamen!

³⁴And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.

³⁴Še veli Savel: Razkropite se med ljudstvo in povejte jim, naj vsakdo pripelje svojega vola in ovco svojo sem k meni, in tu jih koljite in jejte, in ne grešite zoper GOSPODA, jedoč s krvjo vred! Vse ljudstvo torej pripelje, vsak svoje živinče z roko svojo, po noči tja, in ondi jih koljejo.

³⁵And Saul built an altar unto the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built unto the LORD.

³⁵In Savel zgradi oltar GOSPODU; ta je bil prvi oltar, ki ga je postavil GOSPODU.

³⁶And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.

³⁶In Savel reče: Spustímo se za Filistejci po noči in jih plenimo do jutranjega svita, in nihče izmed njih naj ne preostane! Odgovore: Stóri, karkoli se ti zdi prav. Ali duhovnik reče: Pristopimo sem k Bogu!

³⁷And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day.

³⁷In Savel vpraša Boga: Ali naj grem doli za Filistejci? Hočeš jih li dati Izraelu v roke? A on mu ni odgovoril tisti dan.

³⁸And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.

³⁸In Savel veli: Naj pristopijo sem vsi poglavarji ljudstva, in zvedite ter poglejte, na kom je danes ta greh.

³⁹For, as the LORD liveth, which saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people that answered him.

³⁹Zakaj, kakor res živi GOSPOD, ki rešuje Izraela, ako bi tudi bilo na Jonatanu, sinu mojem, mora umreti. A ni ga bilo med vsem ljudstvom, da bi mu odgovoril.

⁴⁰Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee.

⁴⁰On pa reče vsemu Izraelu: Bodite vi na oni strani, jaz pa in sin moj Jonatan bodeva na tej strani. In ljudstvo reče Savlu: Stóri, kar se ti zdi prav!

⁴¹Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel, Give a perfect lot. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped.

⁴¹Nato reče Savel GOSPODU, Bogu Izraelovemu: Pokaži pravico! In zadeta sta bila Savel in Jonatan, ljudstvo pa je bilo prosto.

⁴²And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.

⁴²Savel reče: Vrzite kocko med menoj in Jonatanom, mojim sinom. In zadet je bil Jonatan.

⁴³Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in mine hand, and, lo, I must die.

⁴³In Savel reče Jonatanu: Povej mi, kaj si storil? In Jonatan mu pove in reče: Res sem okusil malo medu s koncem palice, ki sem jo imel v roki, in glej, moram umreti!

⁴⁴And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.

⁴⁴Savel pa reče: Bog mi stori to in ono, ako gotovo ne umreš, Jonatan!

⁴⁵And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? God forbid: as the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not.

⁴⁵Ali ljudstvo govori Savlu: Jonatan li naj umre, ki je storil to veliko rešitev v Izraelu? Nikakor ne! Kakor res GOSPOD živi, še las mu ne pade z glave na zemljo! zakaj z Bogom je delal danes. Tako je ljudstvo oprostilo Jonatana, da ni umrl.

⁴⁶Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place.

⁴⁶Tedaj se je vrnil Savel in ni gonil Filistejcev, in Filistejci so odšli v svoj kraj.

⁴⁷So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he vexed them.

⁴⁷Ko pa je bil Savel prejel kraljevanje nad Izraelom, se je bojeval zoper vse sovražnike svoje na vseh straneh, zoper Moabce, zoper sinove Amonove, zoper Edomce, zoper kralje v Zobi in zoper Filistejce; in kamorkoli se je obrnil, se je maščeval.

⁴⁸And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them.

⁴⁸In vedel se je hrabro in porazil Amalekovce in je otel Izraela iz roke plenilcev.

⁴⁹Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchishua: and the names of his two daughters were these; the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:

⁴⁹Imel pa je Savel sinove: Jonatana, Išvija in Malhisuva. In dve hčeri njegovi sta se imenovali: prvenka Meraba in mlajša Mihala.

⁵⁰And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of the captain of his host was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.

⁵⁰Ime Savlovi ženi pa je bilo Ahinoama, hči Ahimaazova. Poveljniku vojske njegove pa je bilo ime Abner, sin Nera, Savlovega strica.

⁵¹And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.

⁵¹Kis pa, oče Savlov, in Ner, oče Abnerjev, sta bila sinova Abielova.In dokler je Savel živel, je bila trda vojska zoper Filistejce. Zato kjerkoli je Savel videl kakega junaškega in hrabrega moža, ga je vzel k sebi.

⁵²And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him.

⁵²In dokler je Savel živel, je bila trda vojska zoper Filistejce. Zato kjerkoli je Savel videl kakega junaškega in hrabrega moža, ga je vzel k sebi.
