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

¹And they declare to David, saying, `Lo, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are spoiling the threshing-floors.`

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.

²And David asketh at Jehovah, saying, `Do I go? — and have I smitten among these Philistines?` And Jehovah saith unto David, `Go, and thou hast smitten among the Philistines, and saved Keilah.`

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?!

³And David`s men say unto him, `Lo, we here in Judah are afraid; and how much more when we go to Keilah, unto the ranks of the Philistines?`

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

⁴And David addeth again to ask at Jehovah, and Jehovah answereth him, and saith, `Rise, go down to Keilah, for I am giving the Philistines into thy hand.`

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.

⁵And David goeth, and his men, to Keilah, and fighteth with the Philistines, and leadeth away their cattle, and smiteth among them — a great smiting, and David saveth the inhabitants of Keilah.

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

⁶And it cometh to pass, in the fleeing of Abiathar son of Ahimelech unto David, to Keilah, an ephod came down in his hand.

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.

⁷And it is declared to Saul that David hath come in to Keilah, and Saul saith, `God hath made him known for my hand, for he hath been shut in, to enter into a city of doors and bar.`

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

⁸And Saul summoneth the whole of the people to battle, to go down to Keilah, to lay siege unto David and unto his men.

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

⁹And David knoweth that against him Saul is devising the evil, and saith unto Abiathar the priest, `Bring nigh the ephod.`

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

¹⁰And David saith, `Jehovah, God of Israel, Thy servant hath certainly heard that Saul is seeking to come in unto Keilah, to destroy the city on mine account.

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.

¹¹Do the possessors of Keilah shut me up into his hand? doth Saul come down as Thy servant hath heard? Jehovah, God of Israel, declare, I pray Thee, to Thy servant.` And Jehovah saith, `He doth come down.`

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

¹²And David saith, `Do the possessors of Keilah shut me up, and my men, into the hand of Saul?` And Jehovah saith, `They shut [thee] up.`

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.

¹³And David riseth — and his men — about six hundred men, and they go out from Keilah, and go up and down where they go up and down; and to Saul it hath been declared that David hath escaped from Keilah, and he ceaseth to go out.

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.

¹⁴And David abideth in the wilderness, in fortresses, and abideth in the hill-country, in the wilderness of Ziph; and Saul seeketh him all the days, and God hath not given him into his hand.

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

¹⁵And David seeth that Saul hath come out to seek his life, and David [is] in the wilderness of Ziph, in a forest.

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

¹⁶And Jonathan son of Saul riseth, and goeth unto David to the forest, and strengtheneth his hand in God,

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.

¹⁷and saith unto him, `Fear not, for the hand of Saul my father doth not find thee, and thou dost reign over Israel, and I am to thee for second, and also so knoweth Saul my father.`

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

¹⁸And they make a covenant both of them before Jehovah; and David abideth in the forest, and Jonathan hath gone to his house.

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?

¹⁹And the Ziphites go up unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, `Is not David hiding himself with us in fortresses, in the forest, in the height of Hachilah, which [is] on the south of the desolate place?

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

²⁰And, now, by all the desire of thy soul, O king, to come down, come down, and ours [is] to shut him up into the hand of the king.`

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

²¹And Saul saith, `Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, for ye have pity on me;

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.

²²go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place where his foot is; who hath seen him there? for [one] hath said unto me, He is very subtile.

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.

²³And see and know of all the hiding-places where he hideth himself, and ye have turned back unto me prepared, and I have gone with you, and it hath been, if he is in the land, that I have searched him out through all the thousands of Judah.`

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

²⁴And they rise and go to Ziph before Saul, and David and his men [are] in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain, at the south of the desolate place.

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.

²⁵And Saul and his men go to seek, and they declare to David, and he goeth down the rock, and abideth in the wilderness of Maon; and Saul heareth, and pursueth after David [to] the wilderness of Maon.

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.

²⁶And Saul goeth on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain, and David is hastened to go from the face of Saul, and Saul and his men are compassing David and his men, to catch them.

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

²⁷And a messenger hath come in unto Saul, saying, `Haste, and come, for the Philistines have pushed against the land.`

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.

²⁸And Saul turneth back from pursuing after David, and goeth to meet the Philistines, therefore they have called that place `The Rock of Divisions.`

²⁹And David goeth up thence, and abideth in fortresses [at] En-gedi.
