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.

¹And there is a famine in the days of David three years, year after year, and David seeketh the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah saith, `For Saul and for the bloody house, because that he put to death the Gibeonites.`

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.

²And the king calleth for the Gibeonites, and saith unto them — as to the Gibeonites, they [are] not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorite, and the sons of Israel had sworn to them, and Saul seeketh to smite them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah —

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

³yea, David saith unto the Gibeonites, `What do I do for you? and with what do I make atonement? and bless ye the inheritance of Jehovah.`

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?

⁴And the Gibeonites say to him, `We have no silver and gold by Saul and by his house, and we have no man to put to death in Israel;` and he saith, `What ye are saying I do to you.`

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.

⁵And they say unto the king, `The man who consumed us, and who devised against us — we have been destroyed from stationing ourselves in all the border of Israel —

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

⁶let there be given to us seven men of his sons, and we have hanged them before Jehovah, in the height of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah.` And the king saith, `I do give;`

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

⁷and the king hath pity on Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, because of the oath of Jehovah that [is] between them, between David and Jonathan son of Saul;

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.

⁸and the king taketh the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Michal daughter of Saul whom she bare to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite,

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.

⁹and giveth them into the hand of the Gibeonites, and they hang them in the hill before Jehovah; and the seven fall together, and they have been put to death in the days of harvest, in the first [days], the commencement of barley-harvest.

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.

¹⁰And Rizpah daughter of Aiah taketh the sackcloth, and stretcheth it out for herself on the rock, from the commencement of harvest till water hath been poured out upon them from the heavens, and hath not suffered a fowl of the heavens to rest upon them by day, or the beast of the field by night.

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

¹¹And it is declared to David that which Rizpah daughter of Aiah, concubine of Saul, hath done,

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,

¹²and David goeth and taketh the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the possessors of Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the broad place of Beth-Shan, where the Philistines hanged them, in the day of the Philistines smiting Saul in Gilboa;

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

¹³and he bringeth up thence the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gather the bones of those hanged,

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.

¹⁴and bury the bones of Saul and of Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin, in Zelah, in the burying-place of Kish his father, and do all that the king commanded, and God is entreated for the land afterwards.

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

¹⁵And again have the Philistines war with Israel, and David goeth down, and his servants with him, and they fight with the Philistines; and David is weary,

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.

¹⁶and Ishbi-Benob, who [is] among the children of the giant — the weight of his spear [is] three hundred [shekels] weight of brass, and he is girded with a new one — speaketh of smiting David,

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.

¹⁷and Abishai son of Zeruiah giveth help to him, and smiteth the Philistine, and putteth him to death; then swear the men of David to him, saying, `Thou dost not go out again with us to battle, nor quench the lamp of Israel.`

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

¹⁸And it cometh to pass afterwards, that the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines, then hath Sibbechai the Hushathite smitten Saph, who [is] among the children of the giant.

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.

¹⁹And the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim, the Beth-Lehemite, smiteth [a brother of] Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [is] like a beam of weavers.

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.

²⁰And the battle is again in Gath, and there is a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands [are] six, and the toes of his feet [are] six, twenty and four in number, and he also hath been born to the giant,

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

²¹and he reproacheth Israel, and smite him doth Jonathan son of Shimeah, brother of David;

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

²²these four have been born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
