1. Samuelova 18 | Český ekumenický překlad

Český ekumenický překlad

— Saulovy nástrahy - Saul začíná Davida nenávidět, ale David získává lásku Jónatana, přízeň lidu i Saulovu dceru Míkal.

1 I skončil rozhovor se Saulem. Jónatan přilnul celou duší k Davidovi, zamiloval si ho jako sebe sama. 2 Saul ho totiž vzal onoho dne k sobě a nedovolil mu vrátit se do otcovského domu. 3 A Jónatan uzavřel s Davidem smlouvu, neboť ho miloval jako sám sebe. 4 Jónatan svlékl plášť, který měl na sobě, a dal jej Davidovi, též své odění i s mečem, lukem a opaskem. 5 A David podnikal výpravy, a kamkoli ho Saul poslal, měl úspěch. Proto ho Saul ustanovil velitelem nad bojovníky. To se líbilo všemu lidu i Saulovým služebníkům. 6 Tenkrát, když přicházeli, když se David vracel od vítězství nad Pelištejcem, vyšly ze všech izraelských měst zpívající a tančící ženy vstříc králi Saulovi s radostí, s bubínky a loutnami. 7 A křepčící ženy prozpěvovaly: „Saul pobil své tisíce, ale David své desetitisíce.“ 8 Saul se velice rozzlobil; taková slova se mu nelíbila. Řekl: „Davidovi přiřkli desetitisíce, a mně jen tisíce. Už mu chybí jen to království.“ 9 Od onoho dne hleděl Saul na Davida stále s nedůvěrou. 10 Druhého dne se Saula zmocnil zlý duch od Boha a on uvnitř paláce běsnil jako posedlý. David hrál na citeru jako každý den. Saul měl v ruce kopí. 11 Náhle Saul kopím mrštil. Řekl si: „Přibodnu Davida ke stěně.“ Ale David před ním dvakrát uhnul. 12 Tu se Saul začal Davida bát, neboť s ním byl Hospodin, kdežto od Saula odstoupil. 13 Proto ho Saul odstranil ze své blízkosti a ustanovil ho velitelem nad tisíci. A on vycházel a vcházel před lidem. 14 Na všech výpravách si David vedl úspěšně; Hospodin byl s ním. 15 Když Saul viděl, jak velké má úspěchy, třásl se před ním strachem. 16 Celý Izrael a Juda však Davida miloval, protože on před nimi vycházel a vcházel. 17 Jednou řekl Saul Davidovi: „Tu je má starší dcera Mérab. Dám ti ji za ženu, budeš-li statečně vést Hospodinovy boje.“ Saul si říkal: „Ať to není moje ruka, která ho zasáhne, nýbrž ruka Pelištejců.“ 18 David Saulovi odvětil: „Kdo jsem já a co je můj život a má otcovská čeleď v Izraeli, že mám být královým zetěm?“ 19 Avšak v době, kdy Saulova dcera Mérab měla být dána Davidovi, byla dána za ženu Adríelovi Mechólatskému. 20 Davida si však zamilovala Saulova dcera Míkal. Oznámili to Saulovi a jemu se to zamlouvalo. 21 Saul totiž řekl: „Dám mu ji, aby mu byla léčkou. A zasáhne ho ruka Pelištejců.“ Davidovi však Saul řekl: „Můžeš se dnes stát mým zetěm prostřednictvím druhé.“ 22 A Saul svým služebníkům přikázal: „Namluvte nenápadně Davidovi: Hle, král si tě oblíbil a všichni jeho služebníci tě milují. Nyní se můžeš stát královým zetěm.“ 23 Saulovi služebníci to tedy Davidovi přednesli. David namítl: „Myslíte si, že je lehké být zetěm krále? Já jsem člověk chudý a nepatrný.“ 24 Služebníci pak Saulovi oznámili: „David mluvil tak a tak.“ 25 Saul poručil: „Řekněte Davidovi toto: Král nemá zájem o věno, leč o sto pelištejských předkožek. Nechť je vykonána pomsta nad královými nepřáteli.“ Saul si myslel, že David padne Pelištejcům do rukou. 26 Jeho služebníci oznámili tato slova Davidovi a Davidovi se zamlouvalo stát se královým zetěm. Ještě neuplynuly stanovené dny, 27 když se David se svými muži vypravil a pobil mezi Pelištejci dvě stě mužů. Jejich předkožky David přinesl; předali je v plném počtu králi. Tak se stal královým zetěm; Saul mu dal svou dceru Míkal za ženu. 28 Saul viděl a poznal, že Hospodin je s Davidem, a jeho dcera Míkal ho milovala. 29 I bál se Saul Davida ještě víc a byl po všechny dny Davidovým nepřítelem. 30 A pelištejští velitelé táhli opět do pole. Ale kdykoli vytáhli, byl David úspěšnější než všichni Saulovi služebníci, takže jeho jméno bylo lidu velmi drahé.

David and Jonathan’s Friendship

1 As soon as he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. (Dt 13,6; 1S 19,2; 1S 20,17; 2S 1,26)

Dt 13,61S 19,21S 20,172S 1,26

2 And Saul took him that day and would not let him return to his father’s house. (1S 17,15) 3 Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul. (1S 18,1) 4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt. 5 And David went out and was successful wherever Saul sent him, so that Saul set him over the men of war. And this was good in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul’s servants. (1S 18,14; 1S 18,30)

Saul’s Jealousy of David

6 As they were coming home, when David returned from striking down the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with songs of joy, and with musical instruments.^[1] (Ex 15,20; Sd 11,34) 7 And the women sang to one another as they celebrated, “Saul has struck down his thousands, and David his ten thousands.” (Ex 15,21; 1S 21,11; 1S 29,5) 8 And Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him. He said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands, and what more can he have but the kingdom?” (1S 15,28) 9 And Saul eyed David from that day on. 10 The next day a harmful spirit from God rushed upon Saul, and he raved within his house while David was playing the lyre, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand. (Sd 9,23; 1S 16,14; 1S 16,16; 1S 19,9; 1S 19,23; 1Kr 18,29; Sk 16,16)

Sd 9,231S 16,141S 16,161S 19,91S 19,231Kr 18,29Sk 16,16

11 And Saul hurled the spear, for he thought, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David evaded him twice. (1S 19,10; 1S 20,33) 12 Saul was afraid of David because the Lord was with him but had departed from Saul. (1S 16,14; 1S 16,18; 1S 18,15; 1S 18,28; 1S 18,29; 1S 28,15)

1S 16,141S 16,181S 18,151S 18,281S 18,291S 28,15

13 So Saul removed him from his presence and made him a commander of a thousand. And he went out and came in before the people. (Nu 27,17; 1S 18,16; 2S 5,2) 14 And David had success in all his undertakings, for the Lord was with him. (1S 18,5; 1S 18,12) 15 And when Saul saw that he had great success, he stood in fearful awe of him. (1S 18,14) 16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, for he went out and came in before them. (1S 18,5)

David Marries Michal

17 Then Saul said to David, “Here is my elder daughter Merab. I will give her to you for a wife. Only be valiant for me and fight the Lord’s battles.” For Saul thought, “Let not my hand be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him.” (1S 14,49; 1S 17,25; 1S 18,21; 1S 18,25; 1S 25,28)

1S 14,491S 17,251S 18,211S 18,251S 25,28

18 And David said to Saul, “Who am I, and who are my relatives, my father’s clan in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?” (1S 18,23; 2S 7,18) 19 But at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife. (Sd 7,22; 2S 21,8) 20 Now Saul’s daughter Michal loved David. And they told Saul, and the thing pleased him. (1S 18,17; 1S 18,28) 21 Saul thought, “Let me give her to him, that she may be a snare for him and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” Therefore Saul said to David a second time,^[2] “You shall now be my son-in-law.” (Ex 10,7; 1S 18,17; 1S 18,26) 22 And Saul commanded his servants, “Speak to David in private and say, ‘Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now then become the king’s son-in-law.’” 23 And Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, “Does it seem to you a little thing to become the king’s son-in-law, since I am a poor man and have no reputation?” (Nu 16,9) 24 And the servants of Saul told him, “Thus and so did David speak.” 25 Then Saul said, “Thus shall you say to David, ‘The king desires no bride-price except a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, that he may be avenged of the king’s enemies.’” Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines. (Gn 34,12; Ex 22,17; 1S 14,24; 1S 18,17; 1S 18,21)

Gn 34,12Ex 22,171S 14,241S 18,171S 18,21

26 And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law. Before the time had expired, (1S 18,21) 27 David arose and went, along with his men, and killed two hundred of the Philistines. And David brought their foreskins, which were given in full number to the king, that he might become the king’s son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for a wife. (1S 18,13; 2S 3,14) 28 But when Saul saw and knew that the Lord was with David, and that Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved him, (1S 18,12; 1S 18,20) 29 Saul was even more afraid of David. So Saul was David’s enemy continually. 30 Then the commanders of the Philistines came out to battle, and as often as they came out David had more success than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly esteemed. (1S 18,5; 1S 19,8; 2S 11,1)
