1David was told, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing floors.”
1Sporoče pa Davidu: Glej, Filistejci se vojskujejo zoper Keilo in plenijo gumna.
2Therefore David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I go and strike these Philistines?” Yahweh said to David, “Go strike the Philistines, and save Keilah.”
2Tedaj vpraša David GOSPODA, rekoč: Ali naj grem in udarim te Filistejce? In GOSPOD veli Davidu: Pojdi in udari Filistejce in reši Keilo.
3David’s men said to him, “Behold, we are afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”
3A možje Davidovi mu reko: Glej, strah nas je tu na Judovem; koliko bolj, ako pojdemo h Keili proti vojskam Filistejcev?
4Then David inquired of Yahweh yet again. Yahweh answered him, and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
4Tedaj vpraša David še enkrat GOSPODA. In GOSPOD mu odgovori in reče: Vstani, pojdi doli v Keilo, kajti dam ti Filistejce v roko.
5David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their livestock, and killed them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
5David torej gre z možmi svojimi proti Keili in se bojuje s Filistejci, in razžene njih živino ter jih porazi v velikem poboju. Tako je David rešil prebivalce v Keili.
6It happened, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand.
6Ko pa je bežal Abiatar, sin Ahimelekov, k Davidu proti Keili, je prišel doli z naramnikom v roki svoji.
7It was told Saul that David had come to Keilah. Saul said, “God has delivered him into my hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that has gates and bars.”
7Tedaj sporoče Savlu, da je David prišel v Keilo. In Savel reče: Bog ga je dal v roko mojo, kajti zaprt je, ko je prišel v mesto, ki ima vrata in zapahe.
8Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.
8In Savel skliče vse ljudstvo v boj, da gredo doli proti Keili oblegat Davida in može njegove.
9David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.”
9Ko pa David zazna, da mu Savel snuje nesrečo, veli Abiatarju duhovniku: Prinesi sem naramnik!
10Then David said, “O Yahweh, the God of Israel, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.
10In David reče: O GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, hlapec tvoj je zvedel za gotovo, da namerava Savel priti v Keilo, da bi pogubil mesto zaradi mene.
11Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? Will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? Yahweh, the God of Israel, I beg you, tell your servant.” Yahweh said, “He will come down.”
11Me li bodo meščani v Keili izročili njemu? In pride li Savel doli, kakor je slišal hlapec tvoj? GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, naznani, prosim, hlapcu svojemu! In GOSPOD reče: Pride doli.
12Then David said, “Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?” Yahweh said, “They will deliver you up.”
12Nato reče David: Izdado li meščani v Keili mene in može moje Savlu v roke? In GOSPOD odgovori: Izdado.
13Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went wherever they could go. It was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he gave up going there.
13Tedaj vstane David in mož njegovih okoli šeststo, in uidejo iz Keile in gredo, kamorkoli so mogli iti. In ko sporoče Savlu, da je David pobegnil iz Keile, se neha tja pripravljati.
14David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God didn’t deliver him into his hand.
14David pa je bival v puščavi na trdnjavah in se je mudil na gorovju v Zifski puščavi. In Savel ga je iskal vse dni, a Bog mu ga ni izdal v roke.
15David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the wood.
15Ko pa David zve, da je šel Savel streč mu po življenju, je bil David v Zifski puščavi v logu.
16Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose, and went to David into the woods, and strengthened his hand in God.
16In Jonatan, sin Savlov, vstane in gre k Davidu v log in mu pokrepča roko v Bogu.
17He said to him, “Don’t be afraid; for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you; and you shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you; and that also Saul my father knows.”
17In mu reče: Ne boj se, zakaj roka Savla, očeta mojega, te ne zaloti, in kraljeval boš nad Izraelom, in jaz bodem prvi pri tebi: to tudi ve Savel, oče moj.
18They both made a covenant before Yahweh: and David stayed in the woods, and Jonathan went to his house.
18In oba sta sklenila zavezo pred GOSPODOM. In David je ostal v logu, a Jonatan je šel domov.
19Then the Ziphites came up to Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Doesn’t David hide himself with us in the strongholds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the desert?
19Potem pridejo Zifovci k Savlu gori v Gibeo in reko: Ne skriva li se David pri nas po trdnjavah v logu, na hribu Hahili, ki je ob južni strani puščave?
20Now therefore, O king, come down, according to all the desire of your soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him up into the king’s hand.”
20Sedaj torej, o kralj, pridi doli po vsej želji srca svojega, in na nas je, da ga izdamo kralju v roko.
21Saul said, “You are blessed by Yahweh; for you have had compassion on me.
21In Savel reče: Blagoslovljeni bodite od GOSPODA, da ste se me usmilili!
22Please go make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who has seen him there; for it is told me that he deals very subtly.
22Pojdite tja, prosim, in še bolje se prepričajte, in zvedite in preglejte mesto, kjer ima brlog, in kdo ga je ondi videl; zakaj povedali so mi, da je zelo zvit.
23See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides himself, and come again to me with certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall happen, if he is in the land, that I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah.”
23Oglejte torej in pozvedite vsa zakotja, po katerih se skriva, in spet pridite k meni, kadar bodete gotovi, in pojdem z vami. Ako je v deželi, ga hočem iskati med vsemi tisoči Judovimi!
24They arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of the desert.
24In vstanejo in gredo v Zif pred Savlom. David pa in možje njegovi so bili v Maonski puščavi, v nižini ob južni strani puščave.
25Saul and his men went to seek him. When David was told, he went down to the rock, and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard that, he pursued David in the wilderness of Maon.
25In Savel odrine z možmi svojimi ga iskat. A Davidu se sporoči to, in stopi po skali doli in ostane v Maonski puščavi. In ko to sliši Savel, pohiti za Davidom v Maonsko puščavo.
26Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men surrounded David and his men to take them.
26In Savel je šel po tej strani gore, David in možje njegovi pa po oni strani gore. In David je hitel, da uide izpred Savla, a Savel in moštvo njegovo je obdalo Davida in može njegove, da bi jih ujeli.
27But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come; for the Philistines have made a raid on the land!”
27V tem dospe sel k Savlu in reče: Hiti in pridi, zakaj Filistejci so napadli deželo!
28So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Sela Hammahlekoth.
28Savel se torej obrne, da ne bi podil Davida, in se napravi zoper Filistejce. Zato se imenuje tisto mesto Sela-hamah-lekot [T. j. skala ločitve ali uteka.].David pa je šel od ondod gori in je bival v trdnjavah v Engediju.
29David went up from there, and lived in the strongholds of En Gedi.
29David pa je šel od ondod gori in je bival v trdnjavah v Engediju.
