¹And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David.

¹Savel pa je govoril Jonatanu, sinu svojemu, in vsem služabnikom svojim, da bi umorili Davida. Ali Jonatanu, sinu Savlovemu, je bil David zelo pogodu.

²But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:

²In Jonatan sporoči Davidu in reče: Savel, oče moj, ti streže po življenju; sedaj torej, prosim, pazi ob jutru in ostani na skrivnem in se skrij.

³And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee.

³Jaz pa pojdem in bom stal zraven očeta svojega na polju, kjer bodeš, in govoril bom z očetom svojim zate; in kar bom videl, ti oznanim.

⁴And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:

⁴In Jonatan je govoril najboljše o Davidu Savlu, očetu svojemu, in mu je rekel: Ne pregreši se, kralj, nad hlapcem svojim Davidom; zakaj on ni storil greha zoper tebe, ampak zelo koristno je zate, kar je storil.

⁵For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?

⁵Kajti izpostavil je nevarnosti življenje svoje in ubil Filistejca, in GOSPOD je pripravil slavno zmago vsemu Izraelu. Videl si to in se veselil. Zakaj se torej hočeš pregrešiti nad nedolžno krvjo, da ubiješ Davida brez vzroka?

⁶And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain.

⁶In Savel je poslušal glas Jonatanov in prisegel: Kakor res GOSPOD živi, ne sme biti umorjen!

⁷And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.

⁷In Jonatan pokliče Davida in mu pove vse te besede. In Jonatan pripelje Davida k Savlu, in bival je pred njim kakor poprej.

⁸And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him.

⁸In bila je zopet vojna; in David gre in se bojuje s Filistejci in jih premaga v velikem poboju, in zbeže pred njim.

⁹And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand.

⁹A hud duh od GOSPODA je prišel nad Savla, ko je sedel v hiši svoji in držal sulico v roki, David pa je igral na strune z roko svojo.

¹⁰And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin: but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.

¹⁰In Savel je mislil pribosti Davida s sulico k steni, a on se mu umakne, in sulica obtiči v steni; David pa zbeži in se reši to noč.

¹¹Saul also sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David's wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain.

¹¹Potem pošlje Savel sle k hiši Davidovi, da nanj pazijo in ga zjutraj umore.To oznani Davidu žena njegova Mihala, rekoč: Ako ne rešiš življenja svojega to noč, jutri boš mrtev.

¹²So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.

¹²In Mihala spusti Davida skozi okno, da gre in pobegne in se reši.

¹³And Michal took an image, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster, and covered it with a cloth.

¹³Mihala pa vzame domačega malika in ga položi v posteljo in mu dene ob glavo mrežasto čepico iz kozje dlake ter ga pokrije z odejo.

¹⁴And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.

¹⁴In ko Savel pošlje sle, da pripeljejo Davida, reče ona: Bolan je.

¹⁵And Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.

¹⁵Zopet pošlje Savel sle, da ogledajo Davida, veleč: Prinesite mi ga sem gori v postelji, da ga umorim.

¹⁶And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster.

¹⁶In ko stopijo sli noter, glej, malik je na postelji in mrežasta čepica iz kozine ob njegovi glavi!

¹⁷And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?

¹⁷In Savel reče Mihali: Zakaj si me tako prekanila in pustila neprijatelja mojega, da je pobegnil? Mihala pa odgovori Savlu: Dejal mi je: Pústi me, ali te umorim!

¹⁸So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.

¹⁸David torej pobegne in se reši; in ko pride k Samuelu v Ramo, mu pove vse, kar mu je storil Savel. In gre s Samuelom, in prebivala sta v Najotu.

¹⁹And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.

¹⁹In povedo Savlu, rekoč: Glej, David je v Najotu v Rami.

²⁰And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.

²⁰Savel pa pošlje sle, da zgrabijo Davida. Ko so pa videli zbor prorokov, kako prorokujejo, in Samuela, stoječega njim na čelu, pride duh Božji nad sle Savlove, in prorokujejo tudi oni.

²¹And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.

²¹Ko to sporoče Savlu, pošlje druge sle, pa prorokujejo tudi oni. Zopet pošlje Savel sle v tretjič, a tudi oni prorokujejo.

²²Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.

²²Nato gre še sam v Ramo, in pride k velikemu studencu, ki je v Seku, in vpraša in reče: Kje je Samuel in David? Nekdo odgovori: Glej, v Najotu sta v Rami.

²³And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.

²³In gre tja v Najot v Rami, in duh Božji pride nad njega, in spotoma prorokuje, dokler ne pride v Najot v Rami.In tudi on sleče oblačilo svoje in tudi prorokuje pred Samuelom, in je padel in ležal slečen ves ta dan in vso noč. Odtod pravijo: Je li Savel tudi med proroki?

²⁴And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?

²⁴In tudi on sleče oblačilo svoje in tudi prorokuje pred Samuelom, in je padel in ležal slečen ves ta dan in vso noč. Odtod pravijo: Je li Savel tudi med proroki?
