Prva knjiga o Samuelu 18

Biblija Hrvatski	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Kad je David završio razgovor sa Šaulom, Jonatanova se duša prikloni Davidovoj duši i Jonatan ga zavolje kao samoga sebe.	1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
2 Šaul zadrža Davida onoga istog dana kod sebe i nije mu dao da se vrati kući svoga oca.	2 And Saul took him that day, and would not let him return to his father's house.
3 I Jonatan sklopi savez s Davidom jer ga je ljubio kao samoga sebe.	3 And David and Jonathan made a covenant, for be loved him as his own soul.
4 I skide Jonatan plašt koji je imao na sebi i dade ga Davidu; tako i svoju odoru, čak i svoj mač, svoj lûk i svoj pojas.	4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the coat with which he was clothed, and gave it to David, and the rest of his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
5 Na svim svojim pohodima, kamo ga je god slao Šaul, David bijaše sretne ruke i Šaul ga postavi na čelo svojim ratnicima; omilje on svemu narodu, pa i Šaulovim dvoranima.	5 And David went out to whatsoever business Saul sent him, and he behaved himself prudently: and Saul set him over the soldiers, and he was acceptable in the eyes of all the people, and especially in the eyes of Saul's servants.
6 Za njihova povratka, kad se David vraćao ubivši Filistejca, izađoše žene iz svih gradova Izraelovih ususret kralju Šaulu veselo kličući, pjevajući i plešući uza zvuke bubnjeva i cimbala.	6 Now when David returned, after be slew the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels of joy, and cornets.
7 Žene su plešući pjevale: »Pobi Šaul svoje tisuće, David na desetke tisuća.«	7 And the women sung as they played, and they said: I Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
8 Šaul se vrlo ražestio, nije mu bila draga ta pjesma. Zato reče: »Davidu su dale desetke tisuća, a meni samo tisuće! Još mu samo treba kraljevstvo!«	8 And Saul was exceeding angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes, and he said: They have given David ten thousands, and to me they have given but a thousand; what can he have more but the kingdom?
9 I od toga dana Šaul poprijeko gledaše Davida.	9 And Saul did not look on David with a good eye from that day and forward.
10 Sutradan zao duh Božji napade Šaula, tako da je bjesnio po kući. David je rukom udarao u harfu kao drugih dana, a Šaul je u ruci imao koplje.	10 And the day after the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand as at other times. And Saul held a spear in his hand,
11 I Šaul baci koplje govoreći u sebi: »Sad ću pribiti Davida uza zid!« Ali mu se David izmače dva puta.	11 And threw it, thinking to nail David to the wall: and David stept aside out of his presence twice.
12 Šaul se poče bojati Davida, jer je Jahve bio s njim a od Šaula je odstupio.	12 And Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from himself.
13 Zato ga Šaul ukloni iz svoje blizine i postavi ga za tisućnika: on je izlazio i vraćao se na čelu naroda.	13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him a captain over a thousand men, and he went out and came in before the people.
14 David je imao uspjeha na svim svojim putovima jer Jahve bijaše s njim.	14 And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
15 Kad je Šaul vidio da David ima mnogo uspjeha, obuze ga strah od njega.	15 And Saul saw that he was exceeding prudent, and began to beware of him.
16 Ali svemu Izraelu i Judi omilje David jer ih je on vodio na svim njihovim putovima.	16 But all Israel and Juda loved David, for he came in and went out before them.
17 Šaul reče Davidu: »Evo svoju najstariju kćer Merabu dat ću ti za ženu, samo mi budi hrabar i vodi Jahvine bojeve!« Mišljaše Šaul: »Neću da padne od moje ruke, nego filistejska ruka neka se digne na njega!«	17 And Saul said to David: Behold my elder daughter Merob, her will I give thee to wife: only be a valiant man, and fight the battles of the Lord. Now Saul said within himself: Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hands of the Philistines be upon him.
18 A David odgovori: »Tko sam ja i što znači moj život, što li kuća oca mojega u Izraelu da budem kraljev zet?«	18 And David said to Saul: Who am I, or what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son in law of the king?
19 I kad dođe vrijeme da Šaulova kći Meraba pođe za Davida, dadoše je za ženu Adrielu iz Mehole.	19 And it came to pass at the time when Merob the daughter of Saul should have been given to David, that she was given to Hadriel the Molathite to wife.
20 Ali je Davida ljubila Šaulova kći Mikala; kad su to javili Šaulu, bilo mu je pravo.	20 But Michol the other daughter of Saul loved David. And it was told Saul, and it pleased him.
21 Reče on u sebi: »Dat ću mu je, ali će mu ona biti zamka i ruka filistejska dići će se na njega.« (Šaul je po drugi put rekao Davidu: »Danas ćeš mi biti zet.«)	21 And Saul said: I will give her to him, that she may be a stumblingblock to him, and that the band of the Philistines may be upon him. And Saul said to David: In two things thou shalt be my son in law this day.
22 Tada Šaul zapovjedi svojim slugama ovako: »Razgovarajte se s Davidom tajno i recite mu: ‘Gle, omilio si kralju i svi te njegovi dvorani vole; zato budi kraljev zet.’«	22 And Saul commanded his servants to speak to David privately, saying: Behold thou pleasest the king, and all his servants love thee. Now therefore be the king's son in law.
23 I Šaulove sluge ponoviše te riječi Davidu, ali im David odgovori: »Zar je u vašim očima malenkost postati kraljev zet? Ja sam samo siromah i mali čovjek!«	23 And the servants of Saul spoke all these words in the ears of David. And David said: Doth it seem to you a small matter to be the king's son in law? But I am a poor man, and of small ability.
24 Šaulove sluge dojaviše to Šaulu govoreći: »Evo riječi što ih je rekao David.«	24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying: Such words as these hath David spoken.
25 A Šaul odgovori: »Ovako recite Davidu: ‘Kralj ne traži nikakva ženidbenog dara, nego samo sto filistejskih obrezaka da se osveti kraljevim neprijateljima.’« Šaul mišljaše da će tako Davida gurnuti u ruke Filistejcima.	25 And Saul said: Speak thus to David: The king desireth not any dowry, but only a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. Now Saul thought to deliver David into the hands of the Philistines.
26 Šaulove sluge dojaviše te riječi Davidu, a njemu bijaše po volji da postane kraljev zet. Još prije nego što je isteklo vrijeme,	26 And when his servants had told David the words that Saul had said, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David to be the king's son in law.
27 spremi se David i krenu sa svojim ljudima te ubi Filistejcima dvije stotine ljudi; i donese njihove obreske i predade ih kralju na broj da bi postao njegov zet. Tada mu Šaul dade svoju kćer Mikalu za ženu.	27 And after a few days David rose up, and went with the men that were under him, and he slew of the Philistines two hundred men, and brought their foreskins and numbered them out to the king, that he might be his son in law. Saul therefore gave him Michol his daughter to wife.
28 Šaul je jasno vidio da je Jahve s Davidom i da ga ljubi sav dom Izraelov.	28 And Saul saw, and understood that the Lord was with David. And Michol the daughter of Saul loved him.
29 I Šaul se još većma poboja Davida i posta neprijatelj Davidu zauvijek.	29 And Saul began to fear David more: and Saul became David's enemy continually.
30 A filistejski su knezovi izlazili u boj, ali koliko su god puta izlazili, David je imao više uspjeha nego svi Šaulovi dvorani. I tako ime njegovo posta vrlo slavno.	30 And the princes of the Philistines went forth: and from the beginning of their going forth, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, and his name became very famous.
