¹Now it fell on a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come, and let us go over to the Philistines’ garrison, that is on the other side.” But he didn’t tell his father.

¹Ja ühel päeval juhtus, et Joonatan, Sauli poeg, ütles poisile, kes kandis tema sõjariistu: 'Tule, lähme vilistite valvemeeskonna juurde, kes on seal teisel pool!' Aga oma isale ta sellest ei kõnelnud.

²Saul stayed in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people who were with him were about six hundred men;

²Saul istus siis Gibea servas Migronis oleva granaatõunapuu all ja temaga koos olevat rahvast oli ligi kuussada meest,

³and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of Yahweh in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people didn’t know that Jonathan was gone.

³ja õlarüüd kandis Ahija, Siilos olnud Issanda preestri Eeli poja Piinehasi poja Iikabodi venna Ahituubi poeg; ka rahvas ei teadnud, et Joonatan oli ära läinud.

⁴Between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines’ garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side, and a rocky crag on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

⁴Mõlemal pool kuru, mida Joonatan tahtis vilistite valvemeeskonna juurde minnes ületada, oli kaljurünk, niihästi siin- kui sealpool; ühe nimi oli Booses ja teise nimi oli Senne.

⁵The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.

⁵Üks rünk oli sambana põhja pool Mikmasi kohal, teine lõuna pool Geba kohal.

⁶Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that Yahweh will work for us; for there is no restraint on Yahweh to save by many or by few.”

⁶Ja Joonatan ütles poisile, oma sõjariistade kandjale: 'Tule, lähme nende ümberlõikamatute valvemeeskonna juurde, vahest teeb Issand midagi meie heaks, sest pole midagi, mis keelaks Issandat aitamast palju või pisku läbi!'

⁷His armor bearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart. Turn and, behold, I am with you according to your heart.”

⁷Ja tema sõjariistade kandja ütles talle: 'Tee kõik, milleks su süda kutsub, mine! Vaata, ma olen sinuga ühel nõul!'

⁸Then Jonathan said, “Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will reveal ourselves to them.

⁸Ja Joonatan ütles: 'Vaata, minnes üles meeste juurde, me näitame endid neile.

⁹If they say thus to us, ‘Wait until we come to you!’ then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up to them.

⁹Kui nad ütlevad meile nõnda: Seiske paigal, kuni me tuleme teie juurde!, siis me jääme oma kohale ega lähe üles nende juurde.

¹⁰But if they say this, ‘Come up to us!’ then we will go up; for Yahweh has delivered them into our hand. This shall be the sign to us.”

¹⁰Aga kui nad ütlevad meile nõnda: Tulge üles meie juurde!, siis me läheme, sest siis on Issand andnud nad meie kätte ja see olgu meile märgiks!'

¹¹Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, “Behold, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden themselves!”

¹¹Kui nad mõlemad said nähtavaks vilistite valvemeeskonnale, ütlesid vilistid: 'Ennäe, heebrealased tulevad välja aukudest, kuhu nad on pugenud.'

¹²The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, “Come up to us, and we will show you something!” Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come up after me; for Yahweh has delivered them into the hand of Israel.”

¹²Ja valvemeeskonna mehed hüüdsid Joonatani ja tema sõjariistade kandjat ning ütlesid: 'Tulge üles meie juurde, siis me teid alles õpetame!' Aga Joonatan ütles oma sõjariistade kandjale: 'Tule minu järel, sest Issand on andnud nad Iisraeli kätte!'

¹³Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer killed them after him.

¹³Ja Joonatan ronis üles käte ja jalgade abil, ja vilistid langesid Joonatani ees ning ta sõjariistade kandja tappis neid tema taga.

¹⁴That first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow’s length in an acre of land.

¹⁴See oli esimene taplus, kus Joonatan ja tema sõjariistade kandja lõid maha ligi kakskümmend meest umbes ühe adramaa poole vaomaa peal.

¹⁵There was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled; and the earth quaked: so there was an exceeding great trembling.

¹⁵Siis tekkis hirm leeris ja väljal ning kogu rahval, valvemeeskonnad ja hävitussalgad lõdisesid samuti. Maa värises - ja tekkis hirm Jumala ees!

¹⁶The watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude melted away, and scattered.

¹⁶Kui Sauli vahimehed Benjamini Gibeas vaatasid, ennäe, siis voogas rahvahulk sinna ja tänna.

¹⁷Then Saul said to the people who were with him, “Count now, and see who is missing from us.” When they had counted, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.

¹⁷Ja Saul ütles rahvale, kes oli koos temaga: 'Lugege ometi üle ja vaadake, kes on meie juurest ära läinud!' Ja nad lugesid üle, ja vaata, puudusid Joonatan ja tema sõjariistade kandja.

¹⁸Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the ark of God here.” For the ark of God was with the children of Israel at that time.

¹⁸Siis ütles Saul Ahijale: 'Too Jumala laegas siia!' Sest Jumala laegas oli sel ajal Iisraeli laste juures.

¹⁹It happened, while Saul talked to the priest, that the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand!”

¹⁹Aga kui Saul veel preestriga rääkis, läks kära vilistite leeris üha suuremaks. Ja Saul ütles preestrile: 'Tõmba oma käsi tagasi!'

²⁰Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle: and behold, every man’s sword was against his fellow: a very great confusion.

²⁰Siis Saul ja rahvas, kes oli koos temaga, tõstsid sõjakisa ja saabusid võitluspaika, ja vaata, ühe mõõk oli teise vastu, segadus oli väga suur.

²¹Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines as before, and who went up with them into the camp, from all around, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

²¹Ja need heebrealased, kes olid endisest ajast vilistite juures, kes olid koos nendega leeri tulnud, nemadki liitusid Iisraeli lastega, kes olid koos Sauli ja Joonataniga.

²²Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.

²²Ja kui kõik need Iisraeli mehed, kes olid peitu pugenud Efraimi mäestikus, kuulsid, et vilistid põgenesid, siis ajasid ka nemad neid tapluses taga.

²³So Yahweh saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over by Beth Aven.

²³Nõnda aitas Issand sel päeval Iisraeli ja taplus kandus teisele poole Beet-Aavenit.

²⁴The men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.

²⁴Kuigi Iisraeli mehed olid sel päeval väga vaevatud, ometi vannutas Saul rahvast, öeldes: 'Neetud olgu see mees, kes sööb leiba enne õhtut ja enne kui ma olen kätte maksnud oma vaenlastele!' Ja kogu rahvas ei maitsnud leiba.

²⁵All the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground.

²⁵Aga kui kogu rahvas jõudis metsa, siis oli seal mesi maas.

²⁶When the people had come to the forest, behold, the honey dropped: but no man put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath.

²⁶Kui rahvas läks metsa sisse, vaata, siis voolas seal mett, aga ükski ei tõstnud oma kätt suu juurde, sest rahvas kartis vannet.

²⁷But Jonathan didn’t hear when his father commanded the people with the oath: therefore he put forth the end of the rod who was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.

²⁷Joonatan ei olnud aga kuulnud, et tema isa rahvast oli vannutanud; seepärast ta sirutas kepi, mis tal käes oli, ja kastis selle otsa meekärjesse ning pani oma käe suhu: siis hakkasid ta silmad särama.

²⁸Then one of the people answered, and said, “Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food this day.’” The people were faint.

²⁸Ent keegi rahva hulgast võttis sõna ja ütles: 'Su isa vannutas rahvast kõvasti ja ütles: Neetud olgu mees, kes täna leiba sööb! Seepärast on rahvas nii väsinud.'

²⁹Then Jonathan said, “My father has troubled the land. Please look how my eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.

²⁹Ja Joonatan ütles: 'Mu isa saadab maa õnnetusse! Vaadake ometi, kuidas mu silmad säravad, sellepärast et ma maitsesin pisut seda mett!

³⁰How much more, if perhaps the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies which they found? For now has there been no great slaughter among the Philistines.”

³⁰Palju parem oleks olnud, kui rahvas täna tõesti oleks söönud saagist, mida saadi oma vaenlastelt. Sest nüüd ei ole vilistite kaotus mitte suurenenud.'

³¹They struck of the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very faint;

³¹Sel päeval olid nad löönud vilisteid Mikmasist Ajjalonini ja rahvas oli väga väsinud.

³²and the people flew on the spoil, and took sheep, and cattle, and calves, and killed them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood.

³²Seepärast kippus siis rahvas saagi kallale ja võttis lambaid, kitsi, veiseid ja vasikaid ja tappis need palja maa peal; ja rahvas sõi neid koos verega.

³³Then they told Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against Yahweh, in that they eat meat with the blood.” He said, “You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to me this day!”

³³Aga Saulile anti teada ja üteldi: 'Vaata, rahvas teeb pattu Issanda vastu, kui ta sööb koos verega.' Ja tema ütles: 'Teie ei ole olnud truud. Veeretage nüüd mu juurde üks suur kivi!'

³⁴Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them, ‘Bring me here every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat; and don’t sin against Yahweh in eating meat with the blood.’” All the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there.

³⁴Ja Saul ütles: 'Minge laiali rahva sekka ja öelge neile: Igaüks toogu minu juurde oma härg ja lammas ja tapku need siin ning söögu; ärgu tehtagu pattu Issanda vastu, süües koos verega!' Ja sel ööl tõi kogu rahvast igaüks oma härja oma käega ja nad tapsid need seal.

³⁵Saul built an altar to Yahweh. This was the first altar that he built to Yahweh.

³⁵Ja Saul ehitas altari Issandale; see oli esimene altar, mille ta Issandale ehitas.

³⁶Saul said, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them.” They said, “Do whatever seems good to you.” Then the priest said, “Let us draw near here to God.”

³⁶Ja Saul ütles: 'Lähme öösel vilistitele järele ja riisume neid kuni hommikuvalgeni; ärgem jätkem neist alles ühtainsatki!' Ja nemad vastasid: 'Tee kõik, mis su silmis hea on!' Aga preester ütles: 'Astugem siia Jumala ette!'

³⁷Saul asked counsel of God, “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?” But he didn’t answer him that day.

³⁷Siis küsis Saul Jumalalt: 'Kas pean minema vilistitele järele? Kas sa annad nad Iisraeli kätte?' Aga Issand ei vastanud temale sel päeval.

³⁸Saul said, “Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people; and know and see in which this sin has been this day.

³⁸Siis ütles Saul: 'Tulge siia, kõik rahva juhid, uurige ja vaadake, kelle läbi on täna see patt sündinud!

³⁹For, as Yahweh lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.

³⁹Sest nii tõesti kui elab Issand, kes Iisraeli on päästnud: kui see ka oleks mu poja Joonatani süü, siis peab ta surema!' Aga rahva hulgast ei vastanud ükski temale.

⁴⁰Then he said to all Israel, “You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side.” The people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.”

⁴⁰Siis ütles Saul kogu Iisraelile: 'Olge teie ühel pool, mina ja mu poeg Joonatan oleme teisel pool!' Ja rahvas vastas Saulile: 'Tee, mis su silmis hea on!'

⁴¹Therefore Saul said to Yahweh, the God of Israel, “Show the right.” Jonathan and Saul were chosen; but the people escaped.

⁴¹Ja Saul ütles Issandale, Iisraeli Jumalale: 'Anna tummim!' Siis langes liisk Joonatanile ja Saulile ning rahvas sai vabaks.

⁴²Saul said, “Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son.” Jonathan was selected.

⁴²Siis ütles Saul: 'Heitke liisku minu ja mu poja Joonatani vahel!' Ja liisk langes Joonatanile.

⁴³Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done!” Jonathan told him, and said, “I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and behold, I must die.”

⁴³Ja Saul ütles Joonatanile: 'Räägi mulle, mida sa oled teinud?' Ja Joonatan jutustas talle ning ütles: 'Ma maitsesin tõesti minu käes olnud kepi otsaga pisut mett. Siin ma olen, valmis surema!'

⁴⁴Saul said, “God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan.”

⁴⁴Siis ütles Saul: 'Jumal tehku minuga ükskõik mida, aga sina pead surema, Joonatan!'

⁴⁵The people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it! As Yahweh lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has worked with God this day!” So the people rescued Jonathan, that he didn’t die.

⁴⁵Aga rahvas ütles Saulile: 'Kas Joonatan peab surema, tema, kes on saavutanud selle suure võidu Iisraelis? Jäägu see kaugele! Nii tõesti kui Issand elab, ei tohi juuksekarvgi tema peast maha langeda, sest sel päeval tegi ta seda koos Jumalaga!' Nõnda päästis rahvas Joonatani surmast.

⁴⁶Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.

⁴⁶Siis Saul läks ära ega ajanud vilisteid taga, ja vilistid läksid oma paika.

⁴⁷Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and wherever he turned himself, he defeated them.

⁴⁷Kui Saul oli saanud kuningavõimu Iisraeli üle, siis sõdis ta kõigi ümberkaudsete vaenlaste vastu: moabide, ammonlaste, edomlaste, Sooba kuningate ja vilistite vastu, ja kuhu ta iganes pöördus, seal ta karistas.

⁴⁸He did valiantly, and struck the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who despoiled them.

⁴⁸Ta osutas vahvust, lõi amalekke ja päästis Iisraeli ta rüüstajate käest.

⁴⁹Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:

⁴⁹Sauli pojad olid Joonatan, Jisvi ja Malkisuua; ja tema kahe tütre nimed olid: esmasündinu nimi oli Meerab ja noorema nimi Miikal.

⁵⁰and the name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.

⁵⁰Ja Sauli naise nimi oli Ahinoam, Ahimaasi tütar. Ja tema sõjaväepealiku nimi oli Abner, Sauli lelle Neeri poeg.

⁵¹Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.

⁵¹Kiis, Sauli isa, ja Neer, Abneri isa, olid Abieli pojad.

⁵²There was severe war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him to him.

⁵²Aga kogu Sauli eluaja oli äge sõda vilistite vastu; ja kui Saul iganes nägi mõnda tublit ja vaprat meest, võttis ta selle enese juurde.
