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?”
1David pa pobegne iz Najota v Rami ter pride in govori z Jonatanom: Kaj sem storil? Kaj je krivica moja in kaj je greh moj vpričo očeta tvojega, da mi streže po življenju?
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.”
2On pa mu reče: Bog ne daj! ne umrješ. Glej, oče moj ne stori ničesar, ne velikega, ne malega, da ne bi prej meni razodel. Zakaj bi mar to tajil pred mano oče moj? Tega ni.
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.”
3In David še priseže in reče: Oče tvoj dobro ve, da sem našel milost v tvojih očeh, zato misli: Jonatan ne sme tega vedeti, ker bi ga bolelo! Pa zares, kakor GOSPOD živi in kakor živi duša tvoja, samo stopinja je med menoj in med smrtjo.
4Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever your soul desires, I will even do it for you.”
4Jonatan pa reče Davidu: Storiti hočem zate, karkoli želi srce tvoje!
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.
5In David reče Jonatanu: Glej, jutri bo mlaj, ko bi moral sedeti pri mizi s kraljem. Toda pústi me, da se na polju skrijem do večera tretjega dne.
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.’
6Ako me oče tvoj pogreši in vpraša, reci: David me je silno prosil, da sme pohiteti v Betlehem, mesto svoje, ker ondi je letna daritev za vso rodovino.
7If he says, ‘It is well;’ your servant shall have peace: but if he be angry, then know that evil is determined by him.
7Ako poreče: Dobro! pomeni to mir za hlapca tvojega, – ako pa se razjezi, vedi, da je hudo sklenil pri sebi.
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?”
8Zato izkaži milost hlapcu svojemu, ker si me uvedel v zavezo GOSPODOVO s seboj. Ako pa je kaka krivica na meni, ubij me sam, ker zakaj bi me vodil k očetu svojemu?
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?”
9In Jonatan reče: Nič tega se ti ne bo zgodilo! Kajti ako bi jaz res zaznal, da je sklenil oče moj hudo spraviti nadte, bi li tebi ne sporočil?
10Then David said to Jonathan, “Who shall tell me if perchance your father answers you roughly?”
10Nato reče David Jonatanu: Kdo mi pove, ako ti oče tvoj kaj trdega odgovori?
11Jonathan said to David, “Come, and let us go out into the field.” They both went out into the field.
11Jonatan veli Davidu: Pojdi, idiva ven na polje! In šla sta skupaj na polje.
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?
12In Jonatan reče Davidu: GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, bodi priča: ko bom zvedel jutri ob tem času ali tretjega dne, da je moj oče dobre volje proti Davidu, ako ne pošljem k tebi in ti tega ne razkrijem!
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.
13GOSPOD stóri to ali ono Jonatanu, ako ti ne razodenem, če bi bila volja očeta mojega storiti ti hudo; in pošljem te stran, da v miru odideš, in GOSPOD bodi s teboj, kakor je bil z očetom mojim.
14You shall not only while yet I live show me the loving kindness of Yahweh, that I not die;
14Ti pa boš ne samo meni, dokler živim, izkazoval milost GOSPODOVO, da me ne usmrtiš,
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.”
15ampak tudi hiši moji ne prikrati milosti svoje vekomaj, tudi ne, ko iztrebi GOSPOD sovražnike Davidove, vsakega s površja zemlje.
16So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “Yahweh will require it at the hand of David’s enemies.”
16Tako je Jonatan storil zavezo s hišo Davidovo, rekoč: GOSPOD naj kaznuje sovražnike Davidove!
17Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
17In Jonatan je velel Davidu še enkrat priseči pri ljubezni, ki jo je imel do njega; zakaj ljubil ga je kakor svojo dušo.
18Then Jonathan said to him, “Tomorrow is the new moon: and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.
18Nato reče Jonatan Davidu: Jutri bo mlaj, in pogrešali te bodo, ker sedež tvoj ostane prazen.
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.
19In tretji dan stopi hitro sem doli in pridi na mesto, kjer si se bil skril ob onem delavniku, in sedi blizu kamena Azela.
20I will shoot three arrows on its side, as though I shot at a mark.
20Jaz pa izstrelim tri pšice mimo njega, kakor da bi se vadil v tarčo streljati.
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.
21Pa pazi, pošljem dečka, veleč: Pojdi, išči pšice! Ako porečem dečku: Glej, pšice leže na tej strani za tabo, prinesi jih! – pridi, zakaj to pomeni mir tebi in nobene nevarnosti, kakor res GOSPOD živi.
22But if I say this to the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are beyond you;’ then go your way; for Yahweh has sent you away.
22Ako pa porečem dečku takole: Glej, pšice so pred teboj dalje! pojdi, zakaj GOSPOD te pošilja proč.
23Concerning the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, Yahweh is between you and me forever.”
23Za stvar pa, ki sva o njej govorila ti in jaz, glej, GOSPOD je priča med teboj in med menoj vekomaj!
24So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon had come, the king sat him down to eat food.
24David se je torej skril na polju. In ko pride mlaj, sede kralj za mizo k jedi.
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.
25In kralj je sedel na mestu svojem ob steni kakor navadno; in Jonatan vstane, da sede Abner zraven Savla; a Davidov sedež je bil prazen.
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.”
26Toda Savel ni rekel ničesar ta dan, zakaj mislil je: Njemu se je kaj primerilo, morda ni čist; gotovo ni čist.
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 drugi dan po mlaju, ko je bil Davidov sedež zopet prazen, reče Savel sinu svojemu Jonatanu: Zakaj ni prišel Jesejev sin k jedi, ne včeraj, ne danes?
28Jonathan answered Saul, “David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem.
28In Jonatan odgovori Savlu: David me je silno prosil, da bi smel iti v Betlehem;
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.”
29dejal je: Dovoli mi, prosim, zakaj rodovina naša opravlja daritev v mestu, in brat moj sam me je povabil; če sem torej našel milost v tvojih očeh, naj grem, prosim, da vidim brate svoje. Zato ni prišel k mizi kraljevi.
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?
30Tedaj se razvname srd Savlov zoper Jonatana in mu reče: Uporne popačenke sin! ali ne vem, da si izvolil sina Jesejevega na sramoto sebi in tudi materi svoji?
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!”
31Zakaj dokler bo živel sin Jesejev na zemlji, ne bodeš utrjen, tudi tvoje kraljestvo ne. Zatorej pošlji ponj in ga pripelji k meni, zakaj mora umreti.
32Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, “Why should he be put to death? What has he done?”
32Jonatan odgovori svojemu očetu Savlu in mu reče: Zakaj bi moral umreti? kaj je storil?
33Saul cast his spear at him to strike him. By this Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death.
33A Savel mahne s sulico po njem, da bi ga prebodel. Tedaj spozna Jonatan, da je trdno sklenil oče njegov Davida umoriti.
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.
34In vstane Jonatan izza mize v goreči jezi, in ne okusi jedi tisti drugi dan meseca, zakaj žalilo se mu je Davida, ker ga je oče njegov tako onečastil.
35It happened in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little boy with him.
35Zjutraj pa odide Jonatan na polje na kraj, določen Davidu, in majhen deček ž njim.
36He said to his boy, “Run, find now the arrows which I shoot.” As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
36In veli dečku: Teci in išči mi pšice, ki jih izstrelim! In ko deček teče, izstreli pšico, da je letela mimo njega.
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?”
37In ko dospe deček na mesto, kamor je padla pšica, kliče Jonatan za dečkom in reče: Ni li pšica dalje pred teboj?
38Jonathan cried after the boy, “Go fast! Hurry! Don’t delay!” Jonathan’s boy gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
38Še kliče Jonatan za dečkom: Hitro teci, ne stoj! In Jonatanov deček zbere pšice in se vrne h gospodu svojemu.
39But the boy didn’t know anything. Only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
39A deček ni vedel ničesar, samo Jonatan in David sta vedela, kaj to pomeni.
40Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy, and said to him, “Go, carry them to the city.”
40Nato izroči Jonatan hlapcu svojemu orožje in mu veli: Pojdi, nesi je v mesto.
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.
41Ko pa deček odide, vstane David iz svojega skrivališča ob južni strani in pade z obrazom na tla ter se trikrat pokloni; potem poljubita drug drugega in skupaj jočeta, a David najbolj.In Jonatan reče Davidu: Pojdi v miru! Kar sva obadva prisegla v imenu GOSPODOVEM, rekoč: GOSPOD bodi med menoj in teboj in med semenom mojim in semenom tvojim, to veljaj vekomaj! [20:43] In David vstane ter odide; Jonatan pa se vrne v mesto.
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.
42In Jonatan reče Davidu: Pojdi v miru! Kar sva obadva prisegla v imenu GOSPODOVEM, rekoč: GOSPOD bodi med menoj in teboj in med semenom mojim in semenom tvojim, to veljaj vekomaj! [20:43] In David vstane ter odide; Jonatan pa se vrne v mesto.
