¹Now it fell 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 yonder side. But he told not his father.

¹Ja ühel päeval juhtus, et Joonatan, Sauli poeg, ütles poisile, kes kandis tema sõjariistu: 'Tule, lähme vilistite valvemeeskonna juurde, kes on seal teisel pool!' Aga oma isale ta sellest ei kõnelnud.

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

²Saul istus siis Gibea servas Migronis oleva granaatõunapuu all ja temaga koos olevat rahvast oli ligi kuussada meest,

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

³ja õlarüüd kandis Ahija, Siilos olnud Issanda preestri Eeli poja Piinehasi poja Iikabodi venna Ahituubi poeg; ka rahvas ei teadnud, et Joonatan oli ära läinud.

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

⁴Mõlemal pool kuru, mida Joonatan tahtis vilistite valvemeeskonna juurde minnes ületada, oli kaljurünk, niihästi siin- kui sealpool; ühe nimi oli Booses ja teise nimi oli Senne.

⁵The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.

⁵Üks rünk oli sambana põhja pool Mikmasi kohal, teine lõuna pool Geba kohal.

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 Jehovah will work for us; for there is no restraint to Jehovah to save by many or by few.

⁶Ja Joonatan ütles poisile, oma sõjariistade kandjale: 'Tule, lähme nende ümberlõikamatute valvemeeskonna juurde, vahest teeb Issand midagi meie heaks, sest pole midagi, mis keelaks Issandat aitamast palju või pisku läbi!'

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

⁷Ja tema sõjariistade kandja ütles talle: 'Tee kõik, milleks su süda kutsub, mine! Vaata, ma olen sinuga ühel nõul!'

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

⁸Ja Joonatan ütles: 'Vaata, minnes üles meeste juurde, me näitame endid neile.

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.

⁹Kui nad ütlevad meile nõnda: Seiske paigal, kuni me tuleme teie juurde!, siis me jääme oma kohale ega lähe üles nende juurde.

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

¹⁰Aga kui nad ütlevad meile nõnda: Tulge üles meie juurde!, siis me läheme, sest siis on Issand andnud nad meie kätte ja see olgu meile märgiks!'

¹¹And both of them disclosed 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.

¹¹Kui nad mõlemad said nähtavaks vilistite valvemeeskonnale, ütlesid vilistid: 'Ennäe, heebrealased tulevad välja aukudest, kuhu nad on pugenud.'

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

¹²Ja valvemeeskonna mehed hüüdsid Joonatani ja tema sõjariistade kandjat ning ütlesid: 'Tulge üles meie juurde, siis me teid alles õpetame!' Aga Joonatan ütles oma sõjariistade kandjale: 'Tule minu järel, sest Issand on andnud nad Iisraeli kätte!'

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

¹³Ja Joonatan ronis üles käte ja jalgade abil, ja vilistid langesid Joonatani ees ning ta sõjariistade kandja tappis neid tema taga.

¹⁴And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armorbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow's length in an acre of land.

¹⁴See oli esimene taplus, kus Joonatan ja tema sõjariistade kandja lõid maha ligi kakskümmend meest umbes ühe adramaa poole vaomaa peal.

¹⁵And there was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled; and the earth quaked: so there was an exceeding great trembling.

¹⁵Siis tekkis hirm leeris ja väljal ning kogu rahval, valvemeeskonnad ja hävitussalgad lõdisesid samuti. Maa värises - ja tekkis hirm Jumala ees!

¹⁶And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went [hither] and thither.

¹⁶Kui Sauli vahimehed Benjamini Gibeas vaatasid, ennäe, siis voogas rahvahulk sinna ja tänna.

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 armorbearer were not there.

¹⁷Ja Saul ütles rahvale, kes oli koos temaga: 'Lugege ometi üle ja vaadake, kes on meie juurest ära läinud!' Ja nad lugesid üle, ja vaata, puudusid Joonatan ja tema sõjariistade kandja.

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

¹⁸Siis ütles Saul Ahijale: 'Too Jumala laegas siia!' Sest Jumala laegas oli sel ajal Iisraeli laste juures.

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

¹⁹Aga kui Saul veel preestriga rääkis, läks kära vilistite leeris üha suuremaks. Ja Saul ütles preestrile: 'Tõmba oma käsi tagasi!'

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

²⁰Siis Saul ja rahvas, kes oli koos temaga, tõstsid sõjakisa ja saabusid võitluspaika, ja vaata, ühe mõõk oli teise vastu, segadus oli väga suur.

²¹Now the Hebrews that were with the Philistines as beforetime, and that 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.

²¹Ja need heebrealased, kes olid endisest ajast vilistite juures, kes olid koos nendega leeri tulnud, nemadki liitusid Iisraeli lastega, kes olid koos Sauli ja Joonataniga.

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

²²Ja kui kõik need Iisraeli mehed, kes olid peitu pugenud Efraimi mäestikus, kuulsid, et vilistid põgenesid, siis ajasid ka nemad neid tapluses taga.

²³So Jehovah saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over by Beth-aven.

²³Nõnda aitas Issand sel päeval Iisraeli ja taplus kandus teisele poole Beet-Aavenit.

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 it be evening, and I be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted food.

²⁴Kuigi Iisraeli mehed olid sel päeval väga vaevatud, ometi vannutas Saul rahvast, öeldes: 'Neetud olgu see mees, kes sööb leiba enne õhtut ja enne kui ma olen kätte maksnud oma vaenlastele!' Ja kogu rahvas ei maitsnud leiba.

²⁵And all the people came into the forest; and there was honey upon the ground.

²⁵Aga kui kogu rahvas jõudis metsa, siis oli seal mesi maas.

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

²⁶Kui rahvas läks metsa sisse, vaata, siis voolas seal mett, aga ükski ei tõstnud oma kätt suu juurde, sest rahvas kartis vannet.

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 the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.

²⁷Joonatan ei olnud aga kuulnud, et tema isa rahvast oli vannutanud; seepärast ta sirutas kepi, mis tal käes oli, ja kastis selle otsa meekärjesse ning pani oma käe suhu: siis hakkasid ta silmad särama.

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

²⁸Ent keegi rahva hulgast võttis sõna ja ütles: 'Su isa vannutas rahvast kõvasti ja ütles: Neetud olgu mees, kes täna leiba sööb! Seepärast on rahvas nii väsinud.'

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.

²⁹Ja Joonatan ütles: 'Mu isa saadab maa õnnetusse! Vaadake ometi, kuidas mu silmad säravad, sellepärast et ma maitsesin pisut seda mett!

³⁰How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to-day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for now hath there been no great slaughter among the Philistines.

³⁰Palju parem oleks olnud, kui rahvas täna tõesti oleks söönud saagist, mida saadi oma vaenlastelt. Sest nüüd ei ole vilistite kaotus mitte suurenenud.'

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

³¹Sel päeval olid nad löönud vilisteid Mikmasist Ajjalonini ja rahvas oli väga väsinud.

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.

³²Seepärast kippus siis rahvas saagi kallale ja võttis lambaid, kitsi, veiseid ja vasikaid ja tappis need palja maa peal; ja rahvas sõi neid koos verega.

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

³³Aga Saulile anti teada ja üteldi: 'Vaata, rahvas teeb pattu Issanda vastu, kui ta sööb koos verega.' Ja tema ütles: 'Teie ei ole olnud truud. Veeretage nüüd mu juurde üks suur kivi!'

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 Jehovah in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.

³⁴Ja Saul ütles: 'Minge laiali rahva sekka ja öelge neile: Igaüks toogu minu juurde oma härg ja lammas ja tapku need siin ning söögu; ärgu tehtagu pattu Issanda vastu, süües koos verega!' Ja sel ööl tõi kogu rahvast igaüks oma härja oma käega ja nad tapsid need seal.

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

³⁵Ja Saul ehitas altari Issandale; see oli esimene altar, mille ta Issandale ehitas.

³⁶And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take spoil among 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.

³⁶Ja Saul ütles: 'Lähme öösel vilistitele järele ja riisume neid kuni hommikuvalgeni; ärgem jätkem neist alles ühtainsatki!' Ja nemad vastasid: 'Tee kõik, mis su silmis hea on!' Aga preester ütles: 'Astugem siia Jumala ette!'

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.

³⁷Siis küsis Saul Jumalalt: 'Kas pean minema vilistitele järele? Kas sa annad nad Iisraeli kätte?' Aga Issand ei vastanud temale sel päeval.

³⁸And Saul said, Draw nigh hither, all ye chiefs of the people; and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.

³⁸Siis ütles Saul: 'Tulge siia, kõik rahva juhid, uurige ja vaadake, kelle läbi on täna see patt sündinud!

³⁹For, as Jehovah liveth, who 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.

³⁹Sest nii tõesti kui elab Issand, kes Iisraeli on päästnud: kui see ka oleks mu poja Joonatani süü, siis peab ta surema!' Aga rahva hulgast ei vastanud ükski temale.

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.

⁴⁰Siis ütles Saul kogu Iisraelile: 'Olge teie ühel pool, mina ja mu poeg Joonatan oleme teisel pool!' Ja rahvas vastas Saulile: 'Tee, mis su silmis hea on!'

⁴¹Therefore Saul said unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, Show the right. And Jonathan and Saul were taken [by lot]; but the people escaped.

⁴¹Ja Saul ütles Issandale, Iisraeli Jumalale: 'Anna tummim!' Siis langes liisk Joonatanile ja Saulile ning rahvas sai vabaks.

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

⁴²Siis ütles Saul: 'Heitke liisku minu ja mu poja Joonatani vahel!' Ja liisk langes Joonatanile.

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

⁴³Ja Saul ütles Joonatanile: 'Räägi mulle, mida sa oled teinud?' Ja Joonatan jutustas talle ning ütles: 'Ma maitsesin tõesti minu käes olnud kepi otsaga pisut mett. Siin ma olen, valmis surema!'

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

⁴⁴Siis ütles Saul: 'Jumal tehku minuga ükskõik mida, aga sina pead surema, Joonatan!'

⁴⁵And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? Far from it: as Jehovah 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.

⁴⁵Aga rahvas ütles Saulile: 'Kas Joonatan peab surema, tema, kes on saavutanud selle suure võidu Iisraelis? Jäägu see kaugele! Nii tõesti kui Issand elab, ei tohi juuksekarvgi tema peast maha langeda, sest sel päeval tegi ta seda koos Jumalaga!' Nõnda päästis rahvas Joonatani surmast.

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

⁴⁶Siis Saul läks ära ega ajanud vilisteid taga, ja vilistid läksid oma paika.

⁴⁷Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he 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 put [them] to the worse.

⁴⁷Kui Saul oli saanud kuningavõimu Iisraeli üle, siis sõdis ta kõigi ümberkaudsete vaenlaste vastu: moabide, ammonlaste, edomlaste, Sooba kuningate ja vilistite vastu, ja kuhu ta iganes pöördus, seal ta karistas.

⁴⁸And he did valiantly, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that despoiled them.

⁴⁸Ta osutas vahvust, lõi amalekke ja päästis Iisraeli ta rüüstajate käest.

⁴⁹Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the first-born Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:

⁴⁹Sauli pojad olid Joonatan, Jisvi ja Malkisuua; ja tema kahe tütre nimed olid: esmasündinu nimi oli Meerab ja noorema nimi Miikal.

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.

⁵⁰Ja Sauli naise nimi oli Ahinoam, Ahimaasi tütar. Ja tema sõjaväepealiku nimi oli Abner, Sauli lelle Neeri poeg.

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

⁵¹Kiis, Sauli isa, ja Neer, Abneri isa, olid Abieli pojad.

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

⁵²Aga kogu Sauli eluaja oli äge sõda vilistite vastu; ja kui Saul iganes nägi mõnda tublit ja vaprat meest, võttis ta selle enese juurde.
