Prva knjiga o Samuelu 19

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Šaul razloži svome sinu Jonatanu i svim svojim dvoranima svoju namjeru da ubije Davida. Ali Jonatan, Šaulov sin, vrlo je volio Davida.	1 Saul let his son Jonathan and al his servants know of his intention to kil David. But Jonathan, Saul'sson, held David in great affection;
2 I Jonatan to javi Davidu ovako: »Moj otac Šaul kani te ubiti. Budi, dakle, na oprezu sutra ujutro, ostani u skrovištu i pritaji se.	2 and Jonathan warned David, 'My father Saul is looking for a way to kil you, so be on your guardtomorrow morning; go into hiding, stay out of sight.
3 A ja ću izaći i stajat ću pokraj svoga oca u polju gdje ti budeš i govorit ću za tebe sa svojim ocem. Kad saznam kako je, javit ću ti.«	3 I shal go out and keep my father company in the countryside where you wil be, and shal talk to myfather about you; I shal see what the situation is and then tel you.'
4 Jonatan pohvali Davida svome ocu Šaulu i reče mu ovako: »Neka se kralj ne ogriješi o svoga slugu Davida jer se on nije ništa ogriješio o tebe; naprotiv, ono što je radio bilo je od velike koristi za tebe.	4 Jonathan spoke highly of David to Saul his father and said, 'The king should not harm his servantDavid; far from harming you, what he has done has been greatly to your advantage.
5 On je stavio život svoj na kocku, ubio je Filistejca i Jahve je pribavio veliku pobjedu svemu Izraelu: vidio si i radovao se. Zašto bi se, dakle, ogriješio o nevinu krv ubijajući Davida bez razloga?«	5 He took his life in his hands, he killed the Philistine, and Yahweh brought about a great victory for al Israel. You saw for yourself. How pleased you were! Why then sin against innocent blood by kil ing David for noreason?'
6 Šaul posluša Jonatanove riječi i zakle se: »Živoga mi Jahve, David neće umrijeti!«	6 Saul was impressed by Jonathan's words. Saul swore, 'As Yahweh lives, I wil not kill him.'
7 Tada Jonatan dozva Davida i kaza mu sve te riječi. Zatim Jonatan dovede Davida k Šaulu i David opet dobi službu koju je imao prije.	7 Jonathan called David and told him al this. Jonathan then brought him to Saul, and David remained inattendance as before.
8 Kad je rat i opet buknuo, iziđe David na bojište da se bori s Filistejcima; i porazi ih tako da su pobjegli pred njim.	8 War broke out again and David sallied out to fight the Philistines; he inflicted a great defeat on themand they fled before him.
9 Tada zao duh Jahvin obuze Šaula: kad je sjedio u svojoj kući, s kopljem u ruci, a David rukom udarao u harfu,	9 An evil spirit from Yahweh came over Saul while he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand;David was playing the harp.
10 Šaul pokuša da svojim kopljem pribode Davida uza zid, ali on izmakne Šaulovu udarcu te se koplje zabode u zid. David pobježe i spasi se.	10 Saul tried to pin David to the wal with his spear, but he avoided Saul's thrust and the spear stuck inthe wal . David fled and made good his escape. That same night
11 Iste noći Šaul posla glasnike da nadziru Davidovu kuću jer je htio da ubije Davida u rano jutro. Ali Davidova žena Mikala javi to Davidu govoreći: »Ako noćas ne umakneš na sigurno mjesto, sutra ćeš biti mrtav!«	11 Saul sent agents to watch David's house, intending to kil him in the morning. But Michal, David'swife, warned him, 'If you do not escape tonight, you wil be a dead man tomorrow!'
12 Tada Mikala spusti Davida kroz prozor. On ode i spasi se bijegom.	12 Michal then let David down through the window, and he made off, took to flight and so escaped.
13 A Mikala uze idol, položi ga u postelju, stavi mu oko glave kozju dlaku i pokri ga pokrivačem.	13 Michal then took a domestic image, laid it on the bed, put a tress of goats' hair at the head of the bedand put a cover over it.
14 Kad je Šaul poslao glasnike da uhvate Davida, ona im reče: »Bolestan je.«	14 When Saul sent the agents to arrest David, she said, 'He is il .'
15 Ali Šaul vrati glasnike natrag da vide Davida i zapovjedi im: »Donesite ga k meni u postelji da ga ubijem!«	15 Saul sent the agents back to see David, with the words, 'Bring him to me on his bed, for me to kilhim!'
16 A kad su glasnici ušli, gle: u postelji bješe idol, s kozjom dlakom oko glave!	16 So in the agents went, and there in bed was the image, with the tress of goats' hair on its head!
17 Tada Šaul reče Mikali: »Zašto si me tako prevarila i pustila moga neprijatelja da pobjegne i da se spasi?« A Mikala odgovori Šaulu: »On mi je rekao: ‘Pusti me da odem, ili ću te ubiti!’«	17 Saul then said to Michal, 'Why have you deceived me like this and let my enemy go, and so make hisescape?' Michal replied to Saul, 'He said, "Let me go, or I shal kill you!" '
18 Tako je David pobjegao i spasio se. I ode on k Samuelu u Ramu i javi mu sve što mu je učinio Šaul. Potom odoše on i Samuel i nastaniše se u Najotu.	18 David, having fled and made his escape, went to Samuel at Ramah and told him exactly how Saulhad treated him; he and Samuel went and lived in the huts.
19 A Šaulu javiše ovako: »Eno Davida u Najotu u Rami.«	19 Word was brought to Saul, 'David is in the huts at Ramah.'
20 Tada Šaul posla glasnike da uhvate Davida. Kad su oni vidjeli zbor proroka u proročkom zanosu, a Samuela im na čelu, obuze Božji duh i Šaulove glasnike te i oni padoše u proročki zanos.	20 Saul accordingly sent agents to capture David; when they saw the community of prophetsprophesying, and Samuel there as their leader, the spirit of God came over Saul's agents, and they too fel intofrenzy.
21 Kad su to javili Šaulu, on posla druge glasnike, ali i oni padoše u proročki zanos. Potom Šaul posla i treće glasnike, ali i oni padoše u proročki zanos.	21 When Saul was told of this, he sent other agents, and they too fel into frenzy; Saul then sent a thirdgroup of agents, and they fel into frenzy too.
22 Tada Šaul krenu sâm u Ramu i kad dođe do velikog bunara kod Sekua, zapita: »Gdje su Samuel i David?« I odgovoriše mu: »Eno ih u Najotu u Rami.«	22 He then went to Ramah himself and, arriving at the large storage-wel at Seku, asked, 'Where areSamuel and David?' And someone said, 'Why, they are in the huts at Ramah!'
23 On odmah pođe prema Najotu u Rami. Ali i njega obuze duh Božji te je išao u proročkom zanosu sve dok nije došao u Najot u Rami.	23 Making his way from there to the huts at Ramah, the spirit of God came over him too, and he wentalong in a frenzy until he arrived at the huts at Ramah.
24 Tu i on svuče svoje haljine jer i njega obuze zanos pred Samuelom; zatim je legao gol i ostao tako cio onaj dan i svu noć. Tako je nastala uzrečica: »Zar je i Šaul među prorocima?«	24 He too stripped off his clothes and he too fell into a frenzy in Samuel's presence, then col apsednaked on the ground for the rest of that day and al night. Hence the saying: Is Saul one of the prophets too?
