¹And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of Jehovah. And Jehovah said, It is for Saul, and for [his] house of blood, because he slew the Gibeonites.

¹A bol hlad za dní Dávidových tri roky, rok po roku. A Dávid hľadal tvár Hospodinovu. A Hospodin riekol: Je to pre Saula a pre jeho dom krvi, pretože pobil Gibeoňanov.

²And the king called the Gibeonites, and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remainder of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn to them; and Saul sought to smite them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah.)

²Vtedy povolal kráľ Gibeoňanov a riekol im o tom: A Gibeoňania neboli zo synov Izraelových, ale z ostatku Amorejov, a synovia Izraelovi im prisahali. Ale Saul hľadal ich pobiť vo svojej horlivosti za synov Izraelových a za Júdu.

³And David said to the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and with what shall I make atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of Jehovah?

³A tedy riekol Dávid Gibeoňanom: Čo vám urobím a čím smierim, aby ste dobrorečili dedičstvu Hospodinovmu?

⁴And the Gibeonites said to him, As to Saul and his house, it is with us no question of receiving silver or gold, neither is it for us to have any man put to death in Israel. And he said, What ye say will I do for you.

⁴A Gibeoňania mu povedali: Nejde nám o striebro ani o zlato u Saula a u jeho domu ani nám nejde o to, aby sme niekoho zabili z Izraela. A tak povedal: Nuž čo tedy hovoríte, čo vám mám urobiť?

⁵And they said to the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in all the borders of Israel,

⁵Na to odpovedali kráľovi: Ide nám o muža, ktorý nás ničil a ktorý myslel proti nám to, aby sme boli vyhladení tak, aby sme neobstáli nikde v niktorom kraji Izraelovom.

⁶let seven men of his sons be given up to us, and we will hang them up to Jehovah in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah. And the king said, I will give [them].

⁶Nech sú nám vydaní siedmi mužovia z jeho synov, a obesíme ich Hospodinovi v Gibei Saula, vyvoleného Izraelovho. A kráľ povedal: Ja dám.

⁷But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of Jehovah's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.

⁷Ale kráľ sa zľutoval nad Mefibóšetom, synom Jonatánovým, synom Saulovým, pre prísahu Hospodinovu, ktorá bola medzi nimi, medzi Dávidom a medzi Jonatánom, synom Saulovým.

⁸And the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she had borne to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of [the sister of] Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she had borne to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite;

⁸A kráľ vzal dvoch synov Ricpy, dcéry Ajju, ktorých porodila Saulovi, Armoniho a Mefibóšeta, a piatich synov sestry Míchali, dcéry Saulovej, ktorých porodila Adrialovi, synovi Barzillaja Mecholatského.

⁹and he gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill before Jehovah. And they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the first days of the harvest, in the beginning of barley harvest.

⁹A oddal ich do ruky Gibeoňanov, ktorí ich povesili na vrchu pred Hospodinom. A tak padli všetci siedmi spolu. A boli zabití vo dňoch žatvy na začiatku žne jačmeňa.

¹⁰Then Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water poured on them out of the heavens, and suffered neither the fowl of the heavens to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.

¹⁰A Ricpa, dcéra Ajjova, vzala vrecovinu a prestrela si ju na skalu a bola tam od počiatku žatvy až dokiaľ sa nerozlialy na nich vody s neba, a nedala nebeským vtákom, aby sadly na nich vodne, ani poľnej zveri vnoci.

¹¹And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.

¹¹A keď sa oznámilo Dávidovi, čo urobila Ricpa, dcéra Ajjova, ženina Saulova,

¹²And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the open place of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, the day the Philistines had smitten Saul in Gilboa;

¹²odišiel Dávid a vzal kosti Saulove i kosti Jonatánove, jeho synove, od občanov Jabeš-gileáda, ktorí ich boli ukradli s ulice Bét-šana, kde ich boli povesili Filištíni v deň, v ktorý zabili Filištíni Saula v Gilboe,

¹³and he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.

¹³a tedy dal doniesť odtiaľ hore kosti Saulove i kosti Jonatánove, jeho synove, a sobrali aj kosti tých povesených.

¹⁴And they buried [them] with the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the sepulchre of Kish his father; and they did all that the king had commanded. And afterwards God was propitious to the land.

¹⁴A tak pochovali kosti Saulove i Jonatánove, jeho synove, v zemi Benjaminovej v Céle, v hrobe Kíša, jeho otca. A učinili všetko, čo prikázal kráľ. A potom už sa dal Bôh uprosiť zemi.

¹⁵And the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought with the Philistines. And David was exhausted.

¹⁵Potom mali Filištíni zase vojnu s Izraelom. A tak sišiel Dávid i jeho služobníci s ním. A keď bojovali s Filištínmi, ustal Dávid.

¹⁶And Ishbibenob, who was of the children of Raphah -- the weight of his lance was three hundred shekels of bronze, and he was girded with new [armour] -- thought to smite David.

¹⁶A Jišbi-benob, ktorý bol z detí obra Rafu, ktorého kopije hrot vážil tristo šeklov medi, a ktorý mal opásaný nový meč, povedal, že zabiť Dávida.

¹⁷And Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the lamp of Israel.

¹⁷Ale mu pomohol Abišaj, syn Ceruje, ktorý uderiac Filištína zabil ho. Vtedy prisahali mužovia Dávidovi jemu a riekli: Nepojdeš viacej s nami von do boja, aby si nevyhasil sviece Izraelovej.

¹⁸And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines, at Gob; then Sibbechai the Hushathite smote Saph, who was of the children of Raphah.

¹⁸A potom sa stalo, že zase bola vojna v Gobe s Filištínmi. Vtedy zabil Sibbechaj Chušatský Safa, ktorý bol tiež z detí Rafu.

¹⁹And there was again a battle at Gob with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, a Bethlehemite, smote Goliath the Gittite; now the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam.

¹⁹A zase bola vojna v Gobe s Filištínmi, a vtedy zabil Elchanán, syn Jare-oregíma, Betlehemský, brata Goliáša Gitťanského, ktorého drevo jeho kopije bolo jako tkáčsky návoj.

²⁰And there was again a battle, at Gath; and there was a man [there] of great stature, that had on each hand six fingers, and on each foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to Raphah.

²⁰A zase bola vojna v Gáte. A bol tam muž veľkej postavy, ktorý mal po šiestich prstoch na svojich rukách i na svojich nohách, počtom dovedna dvadsaťštyri. I ten sa narodil tomu Rafovi.

²¹And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother smote him.

²¹A keď hanil Izraela, zabil ho Jonatán, syn Šammu, brata Dávidovho.

²²These four were born to Raphah, in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

²²Tí štyria sa narodili Rafovi v Gáte, a padli od ruky Dávidovej a od ruky jeho služobníkov.
