I Samuel 28

U ono vrijeme Filistejci skupiše svoje čete za rat protiv Izraela. I Akiš reče Davidu: "Znaj da ćeš ići sa mnom na vojsku, ti i tvoji ljudi!"

And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy men.

A David odgovori Akišu: "Dobro! Sad ćeš vidjeti što će učiniti tvoj sluga!" A Akiš odvrati Davidu: "Dobro! Zato ću te postaviti da budeš mojim čuvarom zauvijek."

And David said to Achish, Surely thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine head for ever.

Samuel bijaše umro, a sav ga Izrael bijaše oplakao naričući za njim. Ukopali su ga u njegovu gradu Rami. A Šaul bijaše istjerao iz zemlje sve zazivače duhova i vračeve.

Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.

Dok su se Filistejci skupljali te došli i utaborili se kod Šunema, Šaul skupi sve Izraelce te se utabori na Gilboi.

And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa.

Kad Šaul ugleda filistejski tabor, uplaši se i srce mu snažno zadrhta.

And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.

Šaul upita za savjet Jahvu, ali mu Jahve ne dade odgovora - ni u snima, ni po Urimu, ni preko proroka.

And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.

Zato Šaul reče svojim slugama: "Potražite mi ženu koja zaziva duhove da odem k njoj i upitam je." A sluge mu odgovoriše: "Evo, u En Doru ima žena koja zaziva duhove."

Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.

Tada se Šaul preruši, obuče druge haljine i otputi se sa dva čovjeka. I dođe noću k onoj ženi i reče joj: "Daj mi vračaj pomoću duha i dozovi mi onoga koga ti reknem."

And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee.

A žena mu odgovori: "Ta ti znaš što je učinio Šaul i kako je istrijebio iz zemlje zazivače duhova i vračeve. Zašto postavljaš zamke mome životu da me pogubiš?"

And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?

A Šaul joj se zakle Jahvom govoreći: "Tako mi živog Jahve, nećeš biti ništa kriva za ovo!"

And Saul sware to her by the LORD, saying, As the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.

Tada žena zapita: "Koga da ti dozovem?" A on odgovori: "Dozovi mi Samuela!"

Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.

Kad žena ugleda Samuela, povika iza glasa, a onda reče Šaulu: "Zašto si me prevario? Ta ti si Šaul!"

And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.

A kralj joj odvrati: "Ne boj se! Nego što vidiš?" A žena odgovori Šaulu: "Vidim nešto božansko što se diže iz zemlje."

And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.

Šaul je upita: "Kakva je obličja?" A ona odgovori: "Izlazi starac, ogrnut plaštem." Tada Šaul spozna da je to Samuel, pa pade licem do zemlje i pokloni se.

And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.

Samuel upita Šaula: "Zašto si pomutio moj mir dozivajući me gore?" A Šaul odgovori: "U velikoj sam nevolji jer su Filistejci zavojštili na me, a Bog se okrenuo od mene i ne odgovara mi više ni preko proroka ni u snima. Zato sam dozvao tebe da me poučiš što da činim."

And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.

A Samuel odvrati: "Zašto mene pitaš kad se Jahve odvratio od tebe i postao ti neprijateljem?

Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?

Jahve ti je učinio kako ti je kazao preko mene: istrgao je kraljevstvo iz tvoje ruke i dao ga tvome suparniku, Davidu,

And the LORD hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David:

jer nisi poslušao riječi Jahvinih i jer nisi izvršio njegova žestokog gnjeva na Amaleku: stoga ti je Jahve danas ovako učinio.

Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day.

Jahve će predati, zajedno s tobom, i Izraela u filistejske ruke. Sutra ćeš sa svojim sinovima biti sa mnom, a i tabor izraelski Jahve će predati u filistejske ruke."

Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.

Šaul se užasnu i pade na zemlju kako je dug. Spopade ga silan strah od Samuelovih riječi. I ponestade mu snage, jer nije ništa jeo cijeli dan i cijelu noć.

Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.

Kad ona žena dođe k Šaulu i opazi kako je sav zaplašen, reče mu: "Gle, tvoja je službenica poslušala tvoju riječ, stavila sam svoj život na kocku i poslušala tvoje zapovijedi koje si mi naložio.

And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spakest unto me.

Zato sada poslušaj i ti riječi službenice svoje: dopusti da ti pružim zalogaj kruha; jedi da ti se vrati snaga te uzmogneš poći svojim putem."

Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thine handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way.

Ali on ne htjede nego reče: "Neću jesti!" Ali kad ga zaokupiše njegove sluge, zajedno sa ženom, posluša ih, ustade sa zemlje i sjede na postelju.

But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.

Žena je imala kod kuće tele u tovu. Brzo ga zakla, zatim uze brašna, umijesi ga i napeče beskvasnoga kruha.

And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof:

Potom stavi sve pred Šaula i njegove ljude. Pošto su jeli, ustadoše i još iste noći krenuše natrag.

And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night.
