1A tak odišiel Dávid odtiaľ a zachránil sa útekom do jaskyne Adullam. A keď počuli o tom jeho bratia a celý dom jeho otca, sišli ta za ním.
1David therefore departed there, and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him.
2A shromažďovali sa k nemu všetci takí, ktorí boli v nejakej úzkosti, jako aj všetci, ktorí boli zadlžení, i všetci, ktorí mali horkosť v duši, a bol nad nimi vojvodcom. A bolo s ním tak asi štyristo mužov.
2Everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented, gathered themselves to him; and he became captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
3Potom odišiel odtiaľ Dávid do Micpy Moábovej. A riekol moábskemu kráľovi: Dovoľ, prosím, že by vyšli môj otec i moja matka von a bývali s vami, dokiaľ nezviem, čo mi učiní Bôh.
3David went there to Mizpeh of Moab, and he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother come out with you, until I know what God will do for me.”
4A doviedol ich pred moábskeho kráľa, a bývali s ním po všetky dni, dokiaľ bol Dávid na tom hrade.
4He brought them before the king of Moab; and they lived with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.
5A prorok Gád povedal Dávidovi: Nebývaj na hrade. Iď a vojdi si do zeme Júdovej. A tak odišiel Dávid a prišiel do lesa Cháret.
5The prophet Gad said to David, “Don’t stay in the stronghold. Depart, and go into the land of Judah.” Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.
6Ale počul o tom Saul, že sa zvedelo o Dávidovi a o mužoch, ktorí boli s ním. Vtedy sedel Saul v Gibei pod stromom tamariskou, v Ráme, a jeho kopija bola v jeho ruke, a všetci jeho služobníci stáli pred ním.
6Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men who were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.
7A Saul povedal svojim služobníkom, ktorí stáli pred ním: Nože počujte, synovia Jeminiho! Či aj vám všetkým dá syn Izaiho polia a vinice? Či všetkých vás ustanoví za veliteľov nad tisícami a za veliteľov nad stami?
7Saul said to his servants who stood about him, “Hear now, you Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse give everyone of you fields and vineyards, will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,
8Že ste sa všetci sprisahali proti mne, a nie je nikoho, kto by mi to zjavil, keď už i môj syn učinil smluvu so synom Izaiho, a nie je nikoho z vás, kto by sa trápil nado mnou, a kto by mi zjavil niečo o tom, že môj syn postavil môjho služobníka proti mne, aby mi úkladil, ako sa to dnes deje.
8that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none who discloses to me when my son makes a treaty with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me, or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?”
9Na to odpovedal Doég Edomejský, ktorý stál so služobníkmi Saulovými, a riekol: Videl som syna Izaiho, že prišiel do Nóba k Achimelechovi, synovi Achitúbovmu.
9Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered and said, “I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
10A dopytoval sa za neho Hospodina a dal mu potravu na cestu a dal mu i meč Goliáša Filištínskeho.
10He inquired of Yahweh for him, gave him food, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”
11Na to poslal kráľ povolať Achimelecha, syna Achitúbovho, kňaza, i celý dom jeho otca, kňazov, ktorí boli v Nóbe, a prišli všetci ku kráľovi.
11Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests who were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.
12A Saul povedal: Nože počuj, synu Achitúbov! A odpovedal: Hľa, tu som, môj pane.
12Saul said, “Hear now, you son of Ahitub.” He answered, “Here I am, my lord.”
13A Saul mu povedal: Prečo ste sa sprisahali proti mne, ty aj syn Izaiho, keď si mu dal chlieb i meč a dopytoval si sa za neho Boha, aby povstal proti mne a úkladil mi, jako sa to dnes deje?
13Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?”
14Vtedy odpovedal Achimelech kráľovi a riekol: A kde kto je medzi všetkými tvojimi služobníkmi taký verný jako Dávid, k tomu i zať kráľov, ktorý má prístup do tvojej tajnej rady a je ctený v tvojom dome?
14Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, “Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, and is taken into your council, and is honorable in your house?
15Či som sa azda len dnes, teraz po prvé dopytoval za neho Boha? Taká vec nech je preč odo mňa! Nech neskladá kráľ nijakej takej veci na svojho služobníka nikde v celom dome môjho otca, lebo tvoj služobník nevedel o tom o ničom ničoho, ani malého ani veľkého.
15Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? Be it far from me! Don’t let the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for your servant knows nothing of all this, less or more.”
16Ale kráľ povedal: Istotne zomrieš, Achimelechu, ty i celý dom tvojho otca.
16The king said, “You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you, and all your father’s house.”
17A kráľ povedal behúňom, ktorí stáli pred ním: Obráťte sa a pobite kňazov Hospodinových, lebo aj ich ruka je s Dávidom, a pretože vedeli, že uteká, a nezjavili mi toho. Ale služobníci kráľovi nechceli vystrieť svoju ruku a oboriť sa na kňazov Hospodinových.
17The king said to the guard who stood about him, “Turn, and kill the priests of Yahweh; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and didn’t disclose it to me.” But the servants of the king wouldn’t put forth their hand to fall on the priests of Yahweh.
18Vtedy povedal kráľ Doégovi: Obráť sa ty a obor sa na kňazov! A Doég Edomejský sa obrátil a sám sa oboril na kňazov a zabil toho dňa osemdesiatpäť mužov, ktorí nosili ľanový efod.
18The king said to Doeg, “Turn and attack the priests!” Doeg the Edomite turned, and he attacked the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five people who wore a linen ephod.
19I Nób, mesto kňazov, zbil ostrím meča pobijúc všetko, i muža i ženu, odrastlé dieťa i kojenca, vola i osla i dobytča, všetko pobil ostrím meča.
19He struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and nursing babies, and cattle and donkeys and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
20A zachránil sa útekom iba jediný syn Achimelecha, syna Achitúbovho, ktorému bolo meno Ebiatár, a utiekol za Dávidom.
20One of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
21A Ebiatár oznámil Dávidovi, že Saul pobil kňazov Hospodinových.
21Abiathar told David that Saul had slain Yahweh’s priests.
22A Dávid riekol Ebiatárovi: Vedel som toho dňa, lebo tam bol Doég Edomejský, že to istotne oznámi Saulovi. Ja som zapríčinil záhubu a uvalil ju na všetky duše domu tvojho otca.
22David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for the death of all the persons of your father’s house.
23Zostaň u mňa. neboj sa, lebo ten, kto bude hľadať moju dušu, bude hľadať tvoju dušu, lebo budeš chránený u mňa.
23Stay with me, don’t be afraid; for he who seeks my life seeks your life. For with me you shall be in safeguard.”
