1It happened, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
1In ko konča pogovor s Savlom, se priklene duša Jonatanova duši Davidovi; in Jonatan ga je ljubil kakor svojo dušo.
2Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father’s house.
2In Savel ga vzame k sebi ta dan in mu ne dovoli, da se vrne domov k očetu.
3Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
3Tedaj skleneta Jonatan in David zavezo, ker ga je ljubil Jonatan kakor svojo dušo.
4Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him, and gave it to David, and his clothing, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his sash.
4In sleče vrhnjo suknjo, ki jo je imel na sebi, in jo da Davidu, pa tudi obleko svojo, celó meč svoj, lok in pas svoj.
5David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.
5In David je hodil, kamorkoli ga je Savel pošiljal, in v vsem je ravnal razumno; in Savel ga je postavil nad vojščaki, in vse ljudstvo si ga je priljubilo, pa tudi vsi služabniki Savlovi.
6It happened as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.
6Zgodi se pa, ko so šli domov, ko se je David vračal od uboja Filistejca, da pripojejo in priplešejo kralju Savlu naproti žene iz vseh Izraelovih mest z veseljem, z bobnicami in citrami.
7The women sang one to another as they played, and said, “Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands.”
7In žene odpevajo druga drugi med godbo, govoreč: Savel je pobil svoj tisoč, a David svojih deset tisoč!
8Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him; and he said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?”
8Tedaj se Savel silno razsrdi in šteje za zlo to besedo; in reče: Davidu so dale deset tisoč, a meni le tisoč; samo še kraljestva mu je treba.
9Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
9In Savel je grdo gledal Davida od tega dne in poslej.
10It happened on the next day, that an evil spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;
10In zgodi se drugi dan, da pride hud duh od Boga z močjo na Savla, da je razsajal [Hebr. prorokoval, to se pravi: govoril v moči hudega duha.] sredi hiše svoje; David pa je igral na strune kakor vsak dan. In Savel je imel sulico v roki.
11and Saul threw the spear; for he said, “I will pin David even to the wall!” David escaped from his presence twice.
11In Savel vrže sulico, meneč: Pribodem Davida k steni. David pa se mu izogne dvakrat.
12Saul was afraid of David, because Yahweh was with him, and was departed from Saul.
12In Savel se je bal Davida, zakaj GOSPOD je bil ž njim, Savla pa je bil zapustil.
13Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
13Zato ga je Savel odpravil od sebe in ga je postavil za tisočnika svojega. In David je hodil ven in noter na čelu ljudstva
14David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Yahweh was with him.
14in je ravnal razumno na vseh potih svojih, in GOSPOD je bil ž njim.
15When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
15In ko je Savel videl, da ravna jako razumno, ga je bilo strah Davida.
16But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
16Ali ves Izrael in Juda je ljubil Davida, kajti hodil je ven in noter njim na čelu.
17Saul said to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab, I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight Yahweh’s battles.” For Saul said, “Don’t let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
17In Savel reče Davidu: Glej, dam ti hčer svojo starejšo, Merabo, za ženo; samo mi bodi hraber mož in vojskuj se v bojih GOSPODOVIH. Rekel si je pa Savel: Naj ne bo roka moja zoper njega, ampak roka Filistejcev bodi zoper njega.
18David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?”
18David pa odgovori Savlu: Kdo sem jaz in kakšno je moje življenje ali očeta mojega rodovina v Izraelu, da bi bil kraljev zet?
19But it happened at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
19Toda ko pride čas, da bi se Meraba, hči Savlova, dala Davidu, je bila dana Adrielu Meholačanu za ženo.
20Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
20A Mihala, hči Savlova, je ljubila Davida. To so povedali Savlu, in videlo se mu je prav.
21Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Therefore Saul said to David, “You shall this day be my son-in-law a second time.”
21Rekel si je namreč Savel: Dam mu jo, da mu bodi v zanko in da bodi roka Filistejcev zoper njega. Zato reče Savel Davidu: S to drugo mi danes postaneš zet.
22Saul commanded his servants, “Talk with David secretly, and say, ‘Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you: now therefore be the king’s son-in-law.’”
22In Savel ukaže hlapcem svojim: Govorite z Davidom na tihem in recite: Glej, kralj ti je blagovoljen in vsi služabniki njegovi te ljubijo; sedaj torej postani kraljev zet!
23Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, “Does it seems to you a light thing to be the king’s son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?”
23In hlapci Savlovi so govorili te besede Davidu pred ušesi. A David reče: Menite li, da je lahko v svaštvo stopiti s kraljem? Jaz sem vendar ubog in nizek človek!
24The servants of Saul told him, saying, “David spoke like this.”
24In hlapci Savlovi mu zopet povedo, rekoč: Take besede je govoril David.
25Saul said, “You shall tell David, ‘The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies.’” Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
25Savel pa reče: Tako povejte Davidu: Kralj ne želi nobene dote, ampak le sto sprednjih kožic Filistejcev, da se maščevanje izvrši nad kraljevimi sovražniki. Ali Savel je mislil, naj bi David poginil po roki Filistejcev.
26When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law. The days were not expired;
26In ko so hlapci njegovi oznanili Davidu te besede, se mu je zdelo dobro, da postane kraljev zet. In še se niso dopolnili določeni dnevi,
27and David arose and went, he and his men, and killed of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king’s son-in-law. Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife.
27ko David vstane in odide, on in možje njegovi, in pobije od Filistejcev dvesto mož. In David prinese njih sprednje kožice, in jih izroče prav vse kralju, da bi bil kraljev zet. In Savel mu da Mihalo, hčer svojo, za ženo.
28Saul saw and knew that Yahweh was with David; and Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved him.
28In Savel je videl in spoznaval, da je GOSPOD z Davidom; in Mihala, hči Savlova, ga je ljubila.
29Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David’s enemy continually.
29In Savel se je še bolj bal Davida, in bil mu je sovražen vse dni.In ko so knezi Filistejcev prišli se bojevat, je David ravnal, kadarkoli so prišli, bolj razumno nego vsi služabniki Savlovi; zato je močno slovelo ime njegovo.
30Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it happened, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly esteemed.
30In ko so knezi Filistejcev prišli se bojevat, je David ravnal, kadarkoli so prišli, bolj razumno nego vsi služabniki Savlovi; zato je močno slovelo ime njegovo.
