¹Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, delighted much in David.

¹A Saul hovoril Jonatánovi, svojmu synovi, a všetkým svojim služobníkom, aby zabili Dávida. Ale Jonatán, syn Saulov, mal veľmi rád Dávida.

²Jonathan told David, saying, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Now therefore, please take care of yourself in the morning, and live in a secret place, and hide yourself.

²A Jonatán oznámil Dávidovi a riekol: Saul, môj otec, hľadá možnosť, aby ťa zabil. Preto teraz, prosím, maj na seba pozor zajtra ráno a budeš sedieť v skrýši a schováš sa.

³I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you.”

³A ja vyjdem a budem stáť vedľa svojho otca na poli, na ktorom ty budeš, a ja budem hovoriť svojmu otcovi o tebe, a keď uvidím, čo bude, oznámim ti to.

⁴Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Don’t let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you;

⁴Tak hovoril Jonatán Saulovi, svojmu otcovi, dobré o Dávidovi a riekol mu: Nech nehreší kráľ proti svojmu služobníkovi, Dávidovi, lebo veď sa ničím neprehrešil proti tebe, a preto, že to, čo robí, je tebe veľmi dobré.

⁵for he put his life in his hand, and struck the Philistine, and Yahweh worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?”

⁵A vystaviac svoj život nebezpečenstvu zabil Filištína, a Hospodin učinil veľké spasenie celému Izraelovi. Videl si to a radoval si sa. A tak prečo hrešíš proti nevinnej krvi chcúc zabiť Dávida, bez príčiny?

⁶Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, he shall not be put to death.”

⁶A Saul poslúchol hlas Jonatánov a Saul prisahal: Ako že žije Hospodin, nezomrie.

⁷Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as before.

⁷Potom zavolal Jonatán Dávida, a Jonatán mu oznámil všetky tie slová. A Jonatán doviedol Dávida k Saulovi, a bol pred ním ako vše predtým.

⁸There was war again. David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.

⁸A zase bola vojna. A Dávid vyšiel a bojoval proti Filištínom a uderil na nich tak, že im spôsobil veľkú porážku, a ostatní utiekli pred ním.

⁹An evil spirit from Yahweh was on Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.

⁹Ale zase prišiel zlý duch Hospodinov na Saula, keď sedel vo svojom dome a mal svoju kopiju vo svojej ruke, a Dávid hral rukou.

¹⁰Saul sought to pin David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence, and he stuck the spear into the wall. David fled, and escaped that night.

¹⁰A Saul hľadal vraziť kopijou do Dávida, a to až do steny, ale sa vyhnul Saulovi, a tak vrazil kopiju do steny. A Dávid utiekol a unikol smrti tej noci.

¹¹Saul sent messengers to David’s house, to watch him, and to kill him in the morning. Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, “If you don’t save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”

¹¹A Saul poslal poslov do domu Dávidovho, aby ho striehli a ráno zabili. Ale to oznámila Dávidovi Míchaľ, jeho žena, a riekla: Ak nezachrániš útekom svojho života tejto noci, zajtra ťa zabijú.

¹²So Michal let David down through the window. He went, fled, and escaped.

¹²A tak spustila Míchaľ Dávida oblokom, a odišiel a utiekol a zachránil sa útekom.

¹³Michal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.

¹³Potom vzala Míchaľ modlu domácich bohov a vložila ju do postele a koziu kožušinu položila konča jej hlavy a prikryla rúchom.

¹⁴When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”

¹⁴Keď potom poslal Saul poslov, aby vzali Dávida, riekla: Je nemocný.

¹⁵Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.”

¹⁵Ale Saul znova poslal poslov, aby pozreli Dávida, a riekol: Doneste ho na posteli hore ku mne, nech ho zabijem.

¹⁶When the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ hair at its head.

¹⁶A keď prišli poslovia, tu hľa, v posteli modla domácich bohov a konča jej hlavy kozia kožušina.

¹⁷Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemy go, so that he is escaped?” Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go! Why should I kill you?’”

¹⁷Vtedy povedal Saul Míchali: Prečo si ma tak oklamala a pustila si môjho nepriateľa, aby ušiel? A Míchaľ odpovedala Saulovi: On mi povedal: Pusti ma, lebo načo ťa mám zabiť?!

¹⁸Now David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. He and Samuel went and lived in Naioth.

¹⁸A Dávid utekal a tak sa zachránil útekom a prišiel k Samuelovi do Rámy a oznámil mu všetko, čo mu urobil Saul. Potom odišiel on i Samuel, a bývali v Najote.

¹⁹It was told Saul, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”

¹⁹Potom oznámili Saulovi, že hľa, Dávid je v Najote, v Ráme.

²⁰Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came on the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.

²⁰A Saul poslal poslov, aby vzali Dávida. A keď prišli a videli shromaždenie prorokujúcich prorokov a Samuela stáť, postaveného nad nimi, vtedy prišiel Duch Boží na poslov Saulových, a prorokovali aj oni.

²¹When it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.

²¹Keď to oznámili Saulovi, poslal iných poslov, a prorokovali aj oni. A Saul poslal ešte aj tretích poslov, ale prorokovali aj tí.

²²Then went he also to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” One said, “Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.”

²²Napokon odišiel aj on sám do Rámy a keď prišiel až ku tej veľkej cisterne, ktorá je v Séku, pýtal sa a vravel: Kde je Samuel a Dávid? A ktosi mu povedal: Hľa, v Najote, v Ráme.

²³He went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then the Spirit of God came on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.

²³A išiel ta, do Najota, v Ráme. Ale prišiel aj na neho Duch Boží, a tak išiel pozvoľna a prorokoval, až prišiel do Najota v Ráme.

²⁴He also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”

²⁴A vyzliekol aj on svoje rúcho a tiež prorokoval pred Samuelom. A padol a ležal nahý celý ten deň a celú tú noc. Preto hovoria: Či je i Saul medzi prorokmi?
