1David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? What is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?”
1A Dávid utiekol z Najota, v Ráme, a prijdúc vravel pred Jonatánom: Čo som urobil? Čo je mojou neprávosťou a čo mojím hriechom pred tvojím otcom, že hľadá moju dušu?
2He said to him, “Far from it; you shall not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small, but that he discloses it to me; and why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so.”
2A on mu povedal: To nech je preč od teba! Nezomrieš. Hľa, môj otec nerobí ničoho, ani veľkého ani malého, bez toho, aby mi toho nepovedal. A prečože by tedy skrýval môj otec túto vec predo mnou? Niet toho.
3David swore moreover, and said, “Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he says, ‘Don’t let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved:’ but truly as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.”
3Ale Dávid ešte prisahal na to a riekol: Tvoj otec vie veľmi dobre, že som našiel milosť v tvojich očiach, a preto si povedal: Nech nezvie o tom Jonatán, aby ho to netrápilo. Ale jako že žije Hospodin, a jako že žije tvoja duša, tak isté je, že sotva je krok medzi mnou a medzi smrťou.
4Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever your soul desires, I will even do it for you.”
4Vtedy povedal Jonatán Dávidovi: Čokoľvek povie tvoja duša, všetko ti urobím.
5David said to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to dine with the king; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at evening.
5A Dávid riekol Jonatánovi: Hľa, zajtra bude novmesiac, a ja mám sedieť s kráľom, aby som s ním jedol; ale ma pusti, aby som sa skryl na poli až do tretieho večera.
6If your father miss me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.’
6Ak ma tvoj otec bude naozaj postrádať a bude sa pýtať po mne, povieš mu: Dávid ma veľmi prosil, že by smel zabehnúť do Betlehema, do svojho mesta, lebo je tam výročná obeť za celú jeho rodinu.
7If he says, ‘It is well;’ your servant shall have peace: but if he be angry, then know that evil is determined by him.
7Ak povie takto: Dobre, pokoj tvojmu služobníkovi. Ale keď sa nahnevá, vtedy vedz, že má pevne umienené vykonať zlé.
8Therefore deal kindly with your servant; for you have brought your servant into a covenant of Yahweh with you: but if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself; for why should you bring me to your father?”
8Ale učiníš milosť svojmu služobníkovi, lebo si uviedol svojho služobníka v smluvu Hospodinovu sám so sebou. No, ak je na mne nejaká neprávosť, zabi ma ty, lebo načo by si ma vodil až k svojmu otcovi?!
9Jonathan said, “Far be it from you; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come on you, then wouldn’t I tell you that?”
9A Jonatán povedal: To nech je preč od teba! Lebo veď jestli sa istotne dozviem, že môj otec má naozaj umienené zlé, aby prišlo na teba, či ti toho azda neoznámim?
10Then David said to Jonathan, “Who shall tell me if perchance your father answers you roughly?”
10A Dávid riekol Jonatánovi: A kto mi oznámi, čo povie alebo čo ti odpovie tvoj otec, tvrde?
11Jonathan said to David, “Come, and let us go out into the field.” They both went out into the field.
11Na to povedal Jonatán Dávidovi: Poď, vyjdime von na pole! A tak vyšli obidvaja na pole.
12Jonathan said to David, “By Yahweh, the God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if there is good toward David, shall I not then send to you, and disclose it to you?
12A Jonatán povedal Dávidovi: Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov, svedok, že prezkúmam svojho otca zajtra o tomto čase alebo pozajtre. A keď hľa, je dobrý na Dávida, nuž dobre vtedy pošlem k tebe a zjavím ti to.
13Yahweh do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do you evil, if I don’t disclose it to you, and send you away, that you may go in peace: and Yahweh be with you, as he has been with my father.
13Tak nech učiní Hospodin Jonatánovi a tak nech pridá: keby sa ľúbilo môjmu otcovi uviesť na teba zlé, zjavím ti to a pošlem ťa preč a pojdeš v pokoji, a potom nech je Hospodin s tebou tak, ako bol s mojím otcom.
14You shall not only while yet I live show me the loving kindness of Yahweh, that I not die;
14A či azda i ty, ak ešte budem žiť, či ty neučiníš so mnou milosti Hospodinovej, aby som nezomrel?
15but also you shall not cut off your kindness from my house forever; no, not when Yahweh has cut off the enemies of David everyone from the surface of the earth.”
15A neutneš svojho milosrdenstva od môjho domu až na veky, a to ani vtedy, keď vytne Hospodin nepriateľov Dávidových, každého, s povrchu zeme.
16So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “Yahweh will require it at the hand of David’s enemies.”
16Tak učinil Jonatán smluvu s domom Dávidovým a povedal: Hospodin vyhľadá neprávosť z ruky nepriateľov Dávidových.
17Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
17A ešte raz dal Jonatán prisahať Dávidovi vo svojej láske naproti nemu, lebo ho miloval ako svoju vlastnú dušu.
18Then Jonathan said to him, “Tomorrow is the new moon: and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.
18A Jonatán mu povedal: Zajtra bude novmesiac, a môj otec sa bude pýtať po tebe, keď bude tvoje miesto prázdne.
19When you have stayed three days, you shall go down quickly, and come to the place where you hid yourself when this started, and shall remain by the stone Ezel.
19A na tretí deň sídeš rýchle a prijdeš na miesto, na ktorom si sa bol skryl v deň činu a zostaneš pri kameni Ázele.
20I will shoot three arrows on its side, as though I shot at a mark.
20A ja vystrelím tri šípy po jeho strane strieľajúc si do cieľa.
21Behold, I will send the boy, saying, ‘Go, find the arrows!’ If I tell the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are on this side of you. Take them;’ then come; for there is peace to you and no hurt, as Yahweh lives.
21A potom hľa, pošlem chlapca a poviem: Iď, najdi šípy! Ak poviem chlapcovi: Tu hľa, šípy sú sem bližšie od teba, vezmi to! vtedy prijdi, lebo ti je pokoj, a niet nijakého nebezpečenstva, jako že žije Hospodin.
22But if I say this to the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are beyond you;’ then go your way; for Yahweh has sent you away.
22Ale ak takto poviem mládencovi: Tam hľa, šípy sú tam ďalej od teba, vtedy iď, lebo ťa prepustil Hospodin.
23Concerning the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, Yahweh is between you and me forever.”
23A čo do veci, o ktorej sme hovorili, ja a ty, hľa, Hospodin bude svedkom medzi mnou a medzi tebou až na veky.
24So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon had come, the king sat him down to eat food.
24A tak sa skryl Dávid na poli, a bola slávnosť novmesiaca, a kráľ si sadol k pokrmu jesť.
25The king sat on his seat, as at other times, even on the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul’s side: but David’s place was empty.
25Kráľ sedel na svojej stolici jako inokedy, na stolici pri stene, a Jonatán povstal, a Abner si sadol vedľa Saula, a miesto Dávidovo zostalo prázdne.
26Nevertheless Saul didn’t say anything that day: for he thought, “Something has happened to him. He is not clean. Surely he is not clean.”
26Ale Saul nehovoril toho dňa ničoho, lebo si povedal: Niečo sa mu prihodilo, asi nie je čistý, dozaista nie je čistý.
27It happened on the next day after the new moon, the second day, that David’s place was empty. Saul said to Jonathan his son, “Why doesn’t the son of Jesse come to eat, neither yesterday, nor today?”
27A stalo sa na druhý deň, na druhý deň slávnosti novmesiaca, keď zase len bolo prázdne miesto Dávidovo, že povedal Saul Jonatánovi, svojmu synovi: Prečo neprišiel syn Izaiho ani včera ani dnes k jedlu?
28Jonathan answered Saul, “David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem.
28A Jonatán odpovedal Saulovi: Dávid si veľmi prosil odo mňa, žeby smel zabehnúť až do Betlehema
29He said, ‘Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city. My brother has commanded me to be there. Now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me go away and see my brothers.’ Therefore he has not come to the king’s table.”
29a povedal: Pusti ma, prosím, lebo máme rodinnú obeť bitnú v meste, a sám môj brat mi prikázal, aby som prišiel, a tedy ak som našiel milosť v tvojich očiach, dovoľ, prosím, aby som odbehol a videl svojich bratov. Preto neprišiel ku stolu kráľovmu.
30Then Saul’s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse rebellious woman, don’t I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness?
30Vtedy sa zapálil hnev Saulov na Jonatána a povedal mu: Ty synu prevrátenej matere zpurnej, či ja neviem, že si si zvolil syna Izaiho na svoju hanbu a na hanbu, nahotu svojej matere?
31For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Therefore now send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die!”
31Lebo po všetky dni, dokiaľ len žije syn Izaiho na zemi, nebudeš stáť pevne ani ty ani tvoje kráľovstvo. Preto teraz pošli hneď a doveď ho ku mne, lebo je synom smrti.
32Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, “Why should he be put to death? What has he done?”
32A Jonatán odpovedal Saulovi, svojmu otcovi, a riekol mu: Prečo má zomrieť, čo urobil?
33Saul cast his spear at him to strike him. By this Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death.
33Vtedy hodil Saul kopiju do neho, aby ho zabil. A Jonatán poznal, že jeho otec má pevne umienené zabiť Dávida.
34So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
34A Jonatán vstal od stola rozpálený hnevom, a nejedol pokrmu toho druhého dňa slávnosti novmesiaca, pretože bolestil pre Dávida, že ho potupil jeho otec.
35It happened in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little boy with him.
35A stalo sa nasledujúceho rána, že vyšiel Jonatán na pole, na čas, dohovorený s Dávidom, a malý chlapec išiel s ním.
36He said to his boy, “Run, find now the arrows which I shoot.” As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
36A povedal svojmu chlapcovi: Nože bež a najdi šípy, ktoré vystrelím. A chlapec bežal, a on vystrelil šíp tak, aby zaletel pred neho.
37When the boy had come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the boy, and said, “Isn’t the arrow beyond you?”
37A keď prišiel chlapec až k miestu šípa, ktorý vystrelil Jonatán, volal Jonatán za chlapcom a vravel: Veď je šíp tam ďalej od teba!
38Jonathan cried after the boy, “Go fast! Hurry! Don’t delay!” Jonathan’s boy gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
38A ešte volal Jonatán za chlapcom: Ponáhľaj sa, utekaj rýchle, nestoj! A chlapec Jonatánov posbieral šípy a prišiel k svojmu pánovi.
39But the boy didn’t know anything. Only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
39A chlapec nevedel o ničom: len Jonatán a Dávid vedeli o veci.
40Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy, and said to him, “Go, carry them to the city.”
40Potom dal Jonatán svoje zbrane chlapcovi, ktorého mal so sebou, a povedal mu: Iď, zanes do mesta.
41As soon as the boy was gone, David arose out of the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times. They kissed one another, and wept one with another, and David wept the most.
41A hneď, ako odišiel chlapec, vstal Dávid od poludnej strany a padol na svoju tvár na zem a poklonil sa trikrát, a bozkajúc jeden druhého plakali spolu, až Dávid veľmi plakal.
42Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, because we have both sworn in the name of Yahweh, saying, ‘Yahweh shall be between me and you, and between my seed and your seed, forever.’” He arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.
42Potom povedal Jonatán Dávidovi: Idi v pokoji, a to, čo sme my obidvaja prisahali, v mene Hospodinovom, že Hospodin bude svedkom medzi mnou a medzi tebou a medzi mojím semenom a medzi tvojím semenom, nech stojí až na veky.
43A Dávid vstal a išiel. A Jonatán sa navrátil do mesta.
