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.
1It happened, when David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid on the South, and on Ziklag, and had struck 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 who were therein, both small and great. They didn’t kill 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.
3When 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 who 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.
5David’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.
6David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke 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 Yahweh his God.
7Potom riekol Dávid Ebiatárovi, kňazovi, synovi Achimelechovmu: Dones mi, prosím, efod. A Ebiatár doniesol efod k Dávidovi.
7David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Please bring me here the ephod.” Abiathar brought 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.
8David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them?” He answered him, “Pursue; for you shall surely overtake them, and shall 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 who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those who 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 couldn’t 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.
11They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; 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.
12They gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins. 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.
13David asked him, “To whom do you belong? Where are you from?” 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 on the South of the Cherethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on 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.
15David said to him, “Will you bring me down to this troop?” He said, “Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you 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.
16When he had brought him down, behold, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, 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.
17David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men, who rode on camels and fled.
18A Dávid vytrhol všetko, čo boli vzali, Amalech, aj obe svoje ženy vytrhol Dávid.
18David 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.
19There 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.
20David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, 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.
21David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to stay at the brook Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. When David came near to the people, he greeted 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 all the wicked men and base fellows, of those who went with David, answered and said, “Because they didn’t go with us, we will not give them anything of the spoil that we have recovered, except 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 David said, “You shall not do so, my brothers, with that which Yahweh has given to us, who has 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.
24Who will listen to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who tarries 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.
25It was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to 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.
26When David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, “Behold, a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of Yahweh.”
27Tým, ktorí boli v Bét-ele, tým, ktorí v Rámot-négebe, a tým, ktorí v Jattíre,
27He sent it to those who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramoth of the South, and to those who were in Jattir,
28tým, ktorí v Aroere, tým, ktorí v Sifemóte, tým, ktorí v Eštemoe,
28and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa,
29tým, ktorí v Rachále, tým, ktorí v mestách Jerachmeelovcov, tým, ktorí v mestách Kéniho,
29and to those who were in Racal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
30tým, ktorí v Chorme, tým, ktorí v Chor-ašane, tým, ktorí v Atachu,
30and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Borashan, and to those who were in Athach,
31tým, ktorí v Hebrone, a všetkým miestam, po ktorých chodil Dávid, on i jeho mužovia.
31and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
