1A stalo sa, keď prišiel Dávid i jeho mužovia do Ciklagu na tretí deň, že videl, že Amalechiti vtrhli do južného kraja i do Ciklagu a zbili Ciklag a spálili ho ohňom.
1And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the South, and upon Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire,
2A zajali ženy, ktoré boly v ňom, i všetko, od malého až do veľkého; nezabili nikoho, ale ženúc odviedli a išli svojou cestou.
2and had taken captive the women [and all] that were therein, both small and great: they slew not any, but carried them off, and went their way.
3A keď prišiel Dávid a jeho mužovia k mestu, videl, že hľa, je spálené ohňom, a že ich ženy, ich synovia aj ich dcéry sú odvedené do zajatia.
3And when David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive.
4Vtedy pozdvihol Dávid i ľud, ktorý bol s ním, svoj hlas, a plakali, až už nebolo v nich viacej sily plakať.
4Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5Zajaté boly aj obe ženy Dávidove, Achinoam Jizreelská, i Abigaiľ, predtým žena Nábala Karmelského.
5And David's two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6A Dávidovi bolo veľmi úzko, lebo ľud hovoril, aby ho ukameňovali, pretože horkým žiaľom bola naplnená duša všetkého ľudu, lebo každý žialil nad svojimi synmi a nad svojimi dcérami. Ale Dávid sa posilnil v Hospodinovi, svojom Bohu.
6And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David strengthened himself in Jehovah his God.
7Potom riekol Dávid Ebiatárovi, kňazovi, synovi Achimelechovmu: Dones mi, prosím, efod. A Ebiatár doniesol efod k Dávidovi.
7And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
8A Dávid sa dopytoval Hospodina a povedal: Či mám prenasledovať tú rotu a či ju dostihnem? A riekol mu: Prenasleduj, lebo istotne dostihneš a istotne vytrhneš.
8And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue; for thou shalt surely overtake [them], and shalt without fail recover [all].
9A tak išiel Dávid, on i šesťsto mužov, ktorí boli s ním, a prišli až k potoku Besor, kde tí ostatné, zanechaní, zastáli.
9So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
10Ďalej prenasledoval iba Dávid a štyristo mužov. Zastálo dvesto mužov, ktorí ustali tak, že nevládali prejsť potok Besor.
10But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
11A našli nejakého egyptského muža na poli, ktorého doviedli k Dávidovi a dali mu chleba, a zjedol, aj sa mu dali napiť vody.
11And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they gave him water to drink.
12A tiež mu dali kus hrudy sušených fíkov i dva sväzky sušeného hrozna. A keď pojedol, navrátil sa k nemu jeho duch, lebo nejedol chleba ani nepil vody už tri dni a tri noci.
12And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
13A Dávid mu riekol: Čí si ty a odkiaľ si? A odpovedal: Som egyptský mládenec, sluha amalechitského muža, a môj pán ma zanechal, lebo som chorý toto už tretí deň.
13And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
14Boli sme vpadli do južného kraja Keréťanov i na územie, ktoré patrí Judsku, i na južnú stranu Kálefovu a Ciklag sme spálili ohňom.
14We made a raid upon the South of the Cherethites, and upon that which belongeth to Judah, and upon the South of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
15A Dávid mu riekol: Či ma zavedieš dolu k tej rote? A on povedal: Prisahaj mi na Boha, že ma nezabiješ a že ma nevydáš do ruky môjho pána, potom ťa zavediem dolu k tej rote.
15And David said to him, Wilt thou bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this troop.
16A zaviedol ho. A hľa, práve sa boli rozložili po tvári celej zeme jediac a pijúc a slávili pre všetku tú veľkú korisť, ktorú vzali zo zeme Filištínov i zo zeme Júdovej.
16And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the ground, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
17A tak ich bil Dávid od mrku až do večera druhého dňa, a neušiel nikto z nich krome štyristo mladých mužov, ktorí vysadli na veľblúdov a utiekli.
17And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels and fled.
18A Dávid vytrhol všetko, čo boli vzali, Amalech, aj obe svoje ženy vytrhol Dávid.
18And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives.
19Ani im nič nechýbalo, ani malé ani veľké, jako ani nechýbal nikto zo synov ani z dcér, nechýbalo ani z koristi ani vôbec nič z toho, čo im boli vzali; všetko dopravil Dávid zpät.
19And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything that they had taken to them: David brought back all.
20A Dávid vzal všetko drobné stádo, ovce a kozy, i hovädá, a tí, ktorí išli pred tým dobytkom, vraveli: Toto je korisť Dávidova.
20And David took all the flocks and the herds, [which] they drove before those [other] cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.
21Keď potom prišiel Dávid k tým dvesto mužom, ktorí boli tak ustali, že nevládali ísť za Dávidom, a ktorých boli zanechali pri potoku Besore, tí vyšli vústrety Dávidovi a vústrety ľudu, ktorý bol s ním. A Dávid pristúpil k ľudu a pozdravil ho.
21And David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to abide at the brook Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
22Ale všetci mužovia, zlí a beliálski, z mužov, ktorí boli išli s Dávidom, odpovedali a riekli: Pretože neišli s nami, nedáme im z koristi, ktorú sme vytrhli, iba čo každému dáme jeho ženu a jeho synov, a tak nech si odvedú a idú.
22Then answered all the wicked men and base fellows, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that he may lead them away, and depart.
23Ale Dávid riekol: Nerobte tak, moji bratia, s tým, čo nám dal Hospodin, ktorý nás ostríhal a dal tú rotu lupičov, ktorá bola prišla na nás, do našej ruky.
23Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which Jehovah hath given unto us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
24Lebo veď kto by vás poslúchol v tejto veci?! Ale jaký diel bude toho, ktorý išiel dolu do boja, taký bude i diel toho, ktorý strážiac sedel pri batožine, rovnako sa rozdelia.
24And who will hearken unto you in this matter? for as his share is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his share be that tarrieth by the baggage: they shall share alike.
25A tak to bývalo od toho dňa i potom, a učinil to zákonom a obyčajou Izraelovi až do tohoto dňa.
25And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.
26A keď prišiel Dávid do Ciklagu, poslal z koristi starším Judska, svojim priateľom, a odkázal: Hľa, pre vás požehnanie, dar to z koristi, vzatej od nepriateľov Hospodinových.
26And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold, a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of Jehovah:
27Tým, ktorí boli v Bét-ele, tým, ktorí v Rámot-négebe, a tým, ktorí v Jattíre,
27To them that were in Beth-el, and to them that were in Ramoth of the South, and to them that were in Jattir,
28tým, ktorí v Aroere, tým, ktorí v Sifemóte, tým, ktorí v Eštemoe,
28and to them that were in Aroer, and to them that were in Siphmoth, and to them that were in Eshtemoa,
29tým, ktorí v Rachále, tým, ktorí v mestách Jerachmeelovcov, tým, ktorí v mestách Kéniho,
29and to them that were in Racal, and to them that were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them that were in the cities of the Kenites,
30tým, ktorí v Chorme, tým, ktorí v Chor-ašane, tým, ktorí v Atachu,
30and to them that were in Hormah, and to them that were in Bor-ashan, and to them that were in Athach,
31tým, ktorí v Hebrone, a všetkým miestam, po ktorých chodil Dávid, on i jeho mužovia.
31and to them that were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
