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

¹Sporoče pa Davidu: Glej, Filistejci se vojskujejo zoper Keilo in plenijo gumna.

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.

²Tedaj vpraša David GOSPODA, rekoč: Ali naj grem in udarim te Filistejce? In GOSPOD veli Davidu: Pojdi in udari Filistejce in reši Keilo.

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?

³A možje Davidovi mu reko: Glej, strah nas je tu na Judovem; koliko bolj, ako pojdemo h Keili proti vojskam Filistejcev?

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.

⁴Tedaj vpraša David še enkrat GOSPODA. In GOSPOD mu odgovori in reče: Vstani, pojdi doli v Keilo, kajti dam ti Filistejce v roko.

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.

⁵David torej gre z možmi svojimi proti Keili in se bojuje s Filistejci, in razžene njih živino ter jih porazi v velikem poboju. Tako je David rešil prebivalce v Keili.

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.

⁶Ko pa je bežal Abiatar, sin Ahimelekov, k Davidu proti Keili, je prišel doli z naramnikom v roki svoji.

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.

⁷Tedaj sporoče Savlu, da je David prišel v Keilo. In Savel reče: Bog ga je dal v roko mojo, kajti zaprt je, ko je prišel v mesto, ki ima vrata in zapahe.

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

⁸In Savel skliče vse ljudstvo v boj, da gredo doli proti Keili oblegat Davida in može njegove.

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

⁹Ko pa David zazna, da mu Savel snuje nesrečo, veli Abiatarju duhovniku: Prinesi sem naramnik!

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.

¹⁰In David reče: O GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, hlapec tvoj je zvedel za gotovo, da namerava Savel priti v Keilo, da bi pogubil mesto zaradi mene.

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.

¹¹Me li bodo meščani v Keili izročili njemu? In pride li Savel doli, kakor je slišal hlapec tvoj? GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, naznani, prosim, hlapcu svojemu! In GOSPOD reče: Pride doli.

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.

¹²Nato reče David: Izdado li meščani v Keili mene in može moje Savlu v roke? In GOSPOD odgovori: Izdado.

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.

¹³Tedaj vstane David in mož njegovih okoli šeststo, in uidejo iz Keile in gredo, kamorkoli so mogli iti. In ko sporoče Savlu, da je David pobegnil iz Keile, se neha tja pripravljati.

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.

¹⁴David pa je bival v puščavi na trdnjavah in se je mudil na gorovju v Zifski puščavi. In Savel ga je iskal vse dni, a Bog mu ga ni izdal v roke.

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

¹⁵Ko pa David zve, da je šel Savel streč mu po življenju, je bil David v Zifski puščavi v logu.

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

¹⁶In Jonatan, sin Savlov, vstane in gre k Davidu v log in mu pokrepča roko v Bogu.

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.

¹⁷In mu reče: Ne boj se, zakaj roka Savla, očeta mojega, te ne zaloti, in kraljeval boš nad Izraelom, in jaz bodem prvi pri tebi: to tudi ve Savel, oče moj.

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

¹⁸In oba sta sklenila zavezo pred GOSPODOM. In David je ostal v logu, a Jonatan je šel domov.

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?

¹⁹Potem pridejo Zifovci k Savlu gori v Gibeo in reko: Ne skriva li se David pri nas po trdnjavah v logu, na hribu Hahili, ki je ob južni strani puščave?

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.

²⁰Sedaj torej, o kralj, pridi doli po vsej želji srca svojega, in na nas je, da ga izdamo kralju v roko.

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

²¹In Savel reče: Blagoslovljeni bodite od GOSPODA, da ste se me usmilili!

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.

²²Pojdite tja, prosim, in še bolje se prepričajte, in zvedite in preglejte mesto, kjer ima brlog, in kdo ga je ondi videl; zakaj povedali so mi, da je zelo zvit.

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.

²³Oglejte torej in pozvedite vsa zakotja, po katerih se skriva, in spet pridite k meni, kadar bodete gotovi, in pojdem z vami. Ako je v deželi, ga hočem iskati med vsemi tisoči Judovimi!

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.

²⁴In vstanejo in gredo v Zif pred Savlom. David pa in možje njegovi so bili v Maonski puščavi, v nižini ob južni strani puščave.

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.

²⁵In Savel odrine z možmi svojimi ga iskat. A Davidu se sporoči to, in stopi po skali doli in ostane v Maonski puščavi. In ko to sliši Savel, pohiti za Davidom v Maonsko puščavo.

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.

²⁶In Savel je šel po tej strani gore, David in možje njegovi pa po oni strani gore. In David je hitel, da uide izpred Savla, a Savel in moštvo njegovo je obdalo Davida in može njegove, da bi jih ujeli.

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

²⁷V tem dospe sel k Savlu in reče: Hiti in pridi, zakaj Filistejci so napadli deželo!

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

²⁸Savel se torej obrne, da ne bi podil Davida, in se napravi zoper Filistejce. Zato se imenuje tisto mesto Sela-hamah-lekot [T. j. skala ločitve ali uteka.].David pa je šel od ondod gori in je bival v trdnjavah v Engediju.

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

²⁹David pa je šel od ondod gori in je bival v trdnjavah v Engediju.
