1David therefore departed there, and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him.
1David torej odrine odtod in pobegne v Adulamsko votlino. Ko to slišijo bratje njegovi in vsa družina očeta njegovega, pridejo tja doli k njemu.
2Everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented, gathered themselves to him; and he became captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
2In zbrali so se pri njem vsake vrste ljudje, kdorkoli je bil v stiski in kogar je pritiskal upnik in kdor je bil žalostnega srca, in on je postal njih poglavar; in bilo jih je pri njem okoli štiristo mož.
3David went there to Mizpeh of Moab, and he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother come out with you, until I know what God will do for me.”
3In odondod odide David v Micpo na Moabskem, in reče kralju Moabcev: Prosim, naj oče moj in mati moja prideta in bivata pri vas, dokler ne zvem, kaj Bog stori z menoj.
4He brought them before the king of Moab; and they lived with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.
4In pripeljal ju je pred kralja moabskega, in sta ostala pri njem vse dni, dokler je David bival na trdnjavi.
5The prophet Gad said to David, “Don’t stay in the stronghold. Depart, and go into the land of Judah.” Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.
5A prorok Gad reče Davidu: Ne ostani na tej trdnjavi, vstani in pojdi v deželo Judovo. Tedaj odide David in pride v gozd pri Haretu.
6Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men who were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.
6In Savel je čul, da so zvedeli za Davida in za može, ki so bili ž njim. Savel pa je sedel v Gibei, pod tamarisko na višavi, v roki držeč sulico, in vsi hlapci njegovi so stali pred njim.
7Saul said to his servants who stood about him, “Hear now, you Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse give everyone of you fields and vineyards, will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,
7In reče Savel vsem hlapcem svojim, pri njem stoječim: Čujte vendar, Benjaminci! Ali vam da vsakemu sin Jesejev njiv in vinogradov? Postavi li vas vse za poveljnike čez tisoč in poveljnike čez sto?
8that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none who discloses to me when my son makes a treaty with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me, or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?”
8Da ste se vsi zavezali zoper mene in ga ni, ki bi mi povedal, ko se moj sin veže s sinom Jesejevim? In ni ga med vami, ki bi mu bilo žal zaradi mene ali ki bi mi razodel, da je moj sin obudil mojega hlapca zoper mene, da preži name, kakor se danes vidi!
9Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered and said, “I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
9Nato odgovori Doeg Edomec, ki je stal poleg Savlovih hlapcev, in reče: Videl sem sina Jesejevega, da je prišel v Nob k Ahimeleku, sinu Ahitubovemu.
10He inquired of Yahweh for him, gave him food, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”
10In on je zanj vprašal GOSPODA in mu je dal živeža in meč Goliata Filistejca.
11Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests who were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.
11Tedaj pošlje kralj, da pokličejo Ahimeleka duhovnika, sina Ahitubovega, in vso očeta njegovega družino, duhovnike, ki so bili v Nobu; in vsi pridejo pred kralja.
12Saul said, “Hear now, you son of Ahitub.” He answered, “Here I am, my lord.”
12In Savel veli: Čuj zdaj, sin Ahitubov! On odgovori: Glej, tu sem, gospod moj!
13Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?”
13In Savel mu reče: Za kaj sta se zavezala zoper mene, ti in sin Jesejev, da si mu dal kruha in meč in si zanj vprašal Boga, da se vzdigne zoper mene, prežeč name, kakor se danes vidi?
14Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, “Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, and is taken into your council, and is honorable in your house?
14Nato odgovori Ahimelek kralju in reče: In kdo je med vsemi služabniki tvojimi tako zvest kakor David, ki je kraljev zet in hodi v tvoje svetovalstvo in je spoštovan v hiši tvoji?
15Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? Be it far from me! Don’t let the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for your servant knows nothing of all this, less or more.”
15Ali sem šele danes zanj začel vpraševati Boga? To ne bodi na meni! Kralj naj ne prisoja kaj takega hlapcu svojemu, ne vsej očeta mojega družini, zakaj hlapec tvoj ne ve nič tega, ne malega, ne velikega.
16The king said, “You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you, and all your father’s house.”
16Toda kralj reče: Gotovo umreš, Ahimelek, ti in vsa očeta tvojega družina!
17The king said to the guard who stood about him, “Turn, and kill the priests of Yahweh; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and didn’t disclose it to me.” But the servants of the king wouldn’t put forth their hand to fall on the priests of Yahweh.
17In kralj veli stražarjem, ki so stali pri njem: Obrnite se in pobijte duhovnike GOSPODOVE! Zakaj njih roka je tudi z Davidom, ker so vedeli, da beži, in mi niso naznanili. Ali kraljevi hlapci niso hoteli rok iztegniti na duhovnike GOSPODOVE, da jih ubijejo.
18The king said to Doeg, “Turn and attack the priests!” Doeg the Edomite turned, and he attacked the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five people who wore a linen ephod.
18In kralj veli Doegu: Obrni se ti in udari duhovnike! In Doeg Edomec se obrne in udari duhovnike, in je pobil tisti dan petinosemdeset mož, ki so nosili platneni naramnik.
19He struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and nursing babies, and cattle and donkeys and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
19In Nob, mesto duhovnikov, je udaril z ostrino meča, može in žene, otroke in dojence, goved in osle in ovce z ostrino meča.
20One of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
20Le eden sinov Ahimeleka, sina Ahitubovega, po imenu Abiatar, se je rešil, bežeč za Davidom.
21Abiathar told David that Saul had slain Yahweh’s priests.
21In Abiatar je oznanil Davidu, da je Savel pomoril duhovnike GOSPODOVE.
22David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for the death of all the persons of your father’s house.
22David pa reče Abiatarju: Vedel sem tisti dan, ko je bil ondi Doeg Edomec, da gotovo oznani Savlu; jaz sem provzročil smrt vseh oseb iz očeta tvojega hiše.Ostani pri meni in se ne boj! Zakaj kdor meni streže po življenju, streže tebi po življenju, in pri meni boš dobro obvarovan.
23Stay with me, don’t be afraid; for he who seeks my life seeks your life. For with me you shall be in safeguard.”
23Ostani pri meni in se ne boj! Zakaj kdor meni streže po življenju, streže tebi po življenju, in pri meni boš dobro obvarovan.
