1 Samuelova 13
1 Kad Saul bi car godinu dana a carova dvije godine nad Izrailjem
Saul was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned over Israel forty-two years.
2 Izabra sebi Saul tri tisuæe izmeðu sinova Izrailjevih; i bijahu kod Saula dvije tisuæe u Mihmasu i u gori Vetiljskoj, a jedna tisuæa s Jonatanom u Gavaji Venijaminovoj; a ostali narod raspusti u šatore njihove.
Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the Mount of Bethel, and one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. He sent the rest of the people to their own tents.
3 I Jonatan pobi stražu Filistejsku koja bješe u Gavaji, i èuše za to Filisteji. A Saul zapovjedi, te trubiše u trube po svoj zemlji govoreæi: neka èuju Jevreji.
Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear!”
4 I tako èu sav Izrailj gdje rekoše: pobi Saul stražu Filistejsku; i stoga Izrailj omrznu Filistejima. I sazvan bi narod za Saulom u Galgal.
All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel was considered an abomination to the Philistines. The people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
5 A Filisteji se skupiše da vojuju na Izrailja, trideset tisuæa kola i šest tisuæa konjika, i mnoštvo naroda kao pijesak na brijegu morskom; i izašavši stadoše u oko u Mihmasu, s istoka od Vet-Avena.
The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel: thirty thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. They came up and encamped in Michmash, eastward of Beth Aven.
6 I Izrailjci se vidješe u nevolji, jer narod bi pritiješnjen; te se sakri u peæine i u èeste i u kamenjake i u rasjeline i u jame.
When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in tombs, and in pits.
7 A drugi Jevreji prijeðoše preko Jordana u zemlju Gadovu i Galadovu. A Saul još bijaše u Galgalu, i sav narod što iðaše za njim bijaše u strahu.
Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
8 I poèeka sedam dana do roka Samuilova. Ali Samuilo ne doðe u Galgal; te se narod stade razlaziti od njega.
He stayed seven days, according to the time set by Samuel; but Samuel didn’t come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from him.
9 Tada reèe Saul: dodajte mi žrtvu paljenicu i žrtve zahvalne. I prinese žrtvu paljenicu.
Saul said, “Bring the burnt offering to me here, and the peace offerings.” He offered the burnt offering.
10 I kad prinese žrtvu paljenicu, gle, doðe Samuilo. I Saul izide mu na susret da ga pozdravi.
It came to pass that as soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.
11 A Samuilo mu reèe: šta si uèinio? A Saul odgovori: kad vidjeh gdje se narod razlazi od mene, a ti ne doðe do roka, i Filisteji se skupili u Mihmasu,
Samuel said, “What have you done?” Saul said, “Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you didn’t come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash,
12 Rekoh: sad æe udariti Filisteji na me u Galgal, a ja se još ne pomolih Gospodu; te se usudih i prinesoh žrtvu paljenicu.
therefore I said, ‘Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I haven’t entreated the favor of Yahweh.’ I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering.”
13 Tada reèe Samuilo Saulu: ludo si radio što nijesi držao zapovijesti Gospoda Boga svojega, koju ti je zapovjedio; jer bi sada Gospod utvrdio carstvo tvoje nad Izrailjem dovijeka.
Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of Yahweh your God, which he commanded you; for now Yahweh would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.
14 A sada carstvo tvoje neæe se održati. Gospod je našao sebi èovjeka po srcu svojemu, i njemu je zapovjedio Gospod da bude voð narodu njegovu, jer nijesi držao što ti je zapovjedio Gospod.
But now your kingdom will not continue. Yahweh has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and Yahweh has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which Yahweh commanded you.”
15 Potom diže se Samuilo i otide iz Galgala u Gavaju Venijaminovu. I Saul izbroji narod koji osta kod njega, i bješe ga do šest stotina ljudi.
Samuel arose, and went from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. Saul counted the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.
16 I Saul i sin mu Jonatan i narod što bješe s njima, stajahu u Gavaji Venijaminovoj; a Filisteji stajahu u okolu u Mihmasu.
Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin; but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
17 I izidoše tri èete iz okola Filistejskoga da plijene: jedna èeta udari putem k Ofri u zemlju Sovalsku;
The raiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to the land of Shual;
18 A druga èeta udari putem k Vet-Oronu; a treæa udari putem k meði koja gleda prema dolini Sevojimskoj u pustinju.
another company turned the way to Beth Horon; and another company turned the way of the border that looks down on the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
19 A u cijeloj zemlji Izrailjskoj ne bješe kovaèa, jer Filisteji rekoše: da ne bi gradili Jevreji maèeva ni kopalja.
Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears”;
20 Zato slažahu svi Izrailjci k Filistejima kad koji šæaše poklepati raonik ili motiku ili sjekiru ili srp.
but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, each man to sharpen his own plowshare, mattock, ax, and sickle.
21 I bijahu se zatupili raonici i motike i vile troroge i sjekire, i same ostane trebaše zaoštriti.
The price was one payim each to sharpen mattocks, plowshares, pitchforks, axes, and goads.
22 Zato kad doðe vrijeme boju, ne naðe se maèa ni koplja ni u koga u narodu koji bješe sa Saulom i Jonatanom; samo bijaše u Saula i u Jonatana sina njegova.
So it came to pass in the day of battle that neither sword nor spear was found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and Jonathan his son had them.
23 I straža Filistejska izide u klanac kod Mihmasa.
The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
