¹And they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines fight against Keilah, and they rob the threshing-floors.

¹Potom oznámili Dávidovi a riekli: Hľa, Filištíni bojujú proti Keile a lúpia humná.

²And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And Jehovah said to David, Go and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah.

²Preto sa pýtal Dávid Hospodina a povedal: Či mám ísť a uderiť na tých Filištínov? A Hospodin riekol Dávidovi: Idi, porazíš Filištínov a zachrániš Keilu.

³But David's men said to him, Behold, we are afraid here in Judah; how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?

³Ale mužovia Dávidovi povedali jemu, Dávidovi: Hľa, bojíme sa tu v Judsku a o koľko viacej máme príčinu sa báť, keď pojdeme do Keily proti vojskám Filištínov?!

⁴And David inquired of Jehovah yet again. And Jehovah answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will give the Philistines into thy hand.

⁴Preto sa ešte raz pýtal Dávid Hospodina, a Hospodin mu odpovedal a riekol: Vstaň, sídi do Keily, lebo ja dám Filištínov do tvojej ruky.

⁵And David and his men went to Keilah, and fought against the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and smote them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.

⁵A tak odišiel Dávid i jeho mužovia do Keily a bojoval proti Filištínom a zajal ich dobytok a uderiac na nich spôsobil im veľkú porážku a tak zachránil Dávid obyvateľov Keily.

⁶And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, he came down with an ephod in his hand.

⁶A stalo sa, keď utekal Ebiatár, syn Achimelechov, k Dávidovi do Keily, že sišiel dolu s efodom v ruke.

⁷And it was told Saul that David had come to Keilah. Then Saul said, God has cast him off into my hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a city that has gates and bars.

⁷Lež potom oznámili Saulovi, že Dávid vošiel do Keily, a Saul povedal: Bôh ho zavrhol a vydal do mojej ruky, lebo sa zavrel vojdúc do mesta, ktoré má brány i závory.

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

⁸A Saul povolal všetok ľud do boja, rozkázal sísť do Keily a obľahnúť Dávida i jeho mužov.

⁹And when David knew that Saul devised mischief against him, he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring the ephod.

⁹Ale Dávid zvediac, že Saul tajne strojí proti nemu zlé, riekol Ebiatárovi, kňazovi: Nože dones sem efod!

¹⁰Then said David, Jehovah, God of Israel, thy servant hath heard for certain that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.

¹⁰A Dávid riekol: Hospodine, Bože Izraelov, tvoj služobník počul cele istú zvesť o tom, že Saul hľadá prijsť do Keily zkaziť mesto pre mňa.

¹¹Will the citizens of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? Jehovah, God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And Jehovah said, He will come down.

¹¹Či ma vydajú mužovia Keily do jeho ruky? Či ozaj síde Saul, ako počul tvoj služobník? Hospodine, Bože Izraelov, oznám to, prosím, svojmu služobníkovi! A Hospodin riekol: Síde.

¹²And David said, Will the citizens of Keilah deliver up me and my men into the hand of Saul? And Jehovah said, They will deliver [thee] up.

¹²A ešte povedal Dávid: Či vydajú mužovia Keily mňa i mojich mužov do ruky Saulovej? A Hospodin riekol: Vydajú.

¹³Then David and his men, about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keilah, and he forbore to go forth.

¹³Vtedy vstal Dávid i jeho mužovia, okolo šesťsto mužov, a vyšli z Keily a išli, kam išli. Potom oznámili Saulovi, že Dávid ušiel z Keily, a preto nechal tak a nevyšiel.

¹⁴And David abode in the wilderness in strongholds, and abode in the mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God did not give him into his hand.

¹⁴A Dávid býval na púšti v pevných miestach a býval aj na vrchu, na púšti Zífe. A Saul ho hľadal po všetky dni, ale Bôh ho nevydal do jeho ruky.

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

¹⁵A Dávid videl, že Saul vyšiel hľadať jeho dušu. A Dávid bol na púšti Zífe, v lese.

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

¹⁶Vtedy vstal Jonatán, syn Saulov, a odišiel k Dávidovi do lesa a posilnil jeho ruku v Bohu.

¹⁷And he said to him, Fear not; for the hand of Saul my father will not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next to thee; and that also Saul my father knows.

¹⁷A povedal mu: Neboj sa, lebo ťa nenajde ruka Saula, môjho otca; ale ty budeš kraľovať nad Izraelom, a ja budem prvým po tebe, a vie to aj Saul, môj otec.

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

¹⁸A učinili obidvaja smluvu pred Hospodinom. A Dávid zostal v lese, a Jonatán odišiel zpät do svojho domu.

¹⁹And the Ziphites came up to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Does not David hide himself with us in strongholds in the wood, on the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the waste?

¹⁹Ale potom odišli Zífänia hore k Saulovi do Gibee a povedali: Či sa Dávid neskrýva u nás na pevných miestach v lese, na vŕšku Hachile, ktorý je z pravej strany púšte?

²⁰And now, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and it will be for us to deliver him up into the king's hand.

²⁰Tak teraz podľa všetkej žiadosti svojej duše, ó, kráľu, jako si praješ sísť, sídi, a našou vecou bude vydať ho do ruky kráľovej.

²¹And Saul said, Blessed be ye of Jehovah; for ye have compassion upon me.

²¹A Saul povedal: Požehnaní vy Hospodinovi, že máte ľútosť nado mnou.

²²Go, I pray you, make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his track is, who has seen him there; for it is told me that he deals very subtilly.

²²Nože tedy iďte, pripravte ešte dôkladnejšie a vyzveďte a prezrite jeho miesto, kam sa obráti jeho noha, a kto ho tam videl, lebo mi povedali, že je veľmi chytrý.

²³And see, and ascertain all the lurking-places where he hides himself, and come ye again to me with sure information, that I may go with you; and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout the thousands of Judah.

²³A tedy len prezrite a zveďte všetky jeho skrýše, v ktorých sa skrýva, a potom sa vráťte ku mne s istou vecou, a pojdem s vami, a stane sa, ak bude v zemi, že ho budem hľadať vo všetkých tisícoch Júdových.

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 the waste.

²⁴A tak vstali a išli do Zífa pred Saulom. A Dávid a jeho mužovia boli na púšti Máone, na rovine, po pravej strane púšte.

²⁵And Saul and his men went to seek [him]. And they told David; and he came down from the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And Saul heard [that], and he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.

²⁵A Saul odišiel i jeho mužovia hľadať. Ale keď to oznámili Dávidovi, sišiel so skaly a býval na púšti Máone. A keď počul o tom Saul, honil Dávida po púšti Máone.

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 from Saul; and Saul and his men sought to surround David and his men to take them.

²⁶Saul išiel po jednej strane vrchu, a Dávid a jeho mužovia išli po druhej strane vrchu. A Dávid sa ponáhľal ujsť pred Saulom, lebo Saul a jeho mužovia obkľučovali Dávida a jeho mužov, aby ich zajali.

²⁷But there came a messenger to Saul, saying, Haste thee and come; for the Philistines have made a raid against the land.

²⁷Ale v tom prišiel posol k Saulovi, ktorý hovoril: Ponáhľaj sa a poď, lebo Filištíni vtrhli do zeme.

²⁸And Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines; therefore they called that place Sela-hammahlekoth.

²⁸Vtedy sa vrátil Saul od prenasledovania Dávida a išiel proti Filištínom. Preto nazvali to miesto Skalou rozdelení. A Dávid odíduc odtiaľ hore býval v pevných miestach na púšti Én-gedi.

²⁹And David went up from thence, and abode in the strongholds of Engedi.
