1. kniha Samuelova

1 (KJV) Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power.
1 (ROH) A bol nejaký muž z Benjamina, ktorému bolo meno Kíš, syn Abiela, syna Cerora, syna Bechorata, syna Afiacha, syna muža Benjaminovho, udatný muž zámožný.

2 (KJV) And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.
2 (ROH) Ten mal syna, ktorému bolo meno Saul, bol to statný mládenec a pekného vzhľadu, ani nebolo krásnejšieho muža medzi synmi Izraelovými ako on; od svojho pleca hore bol vyšší od všetkého ľudu.

3 (KJV) And the asses of Kish Saul's father were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with thee, and arise, go seek the asses.
3 (ROH) A ztratily sa Kíšovi, Saulovmu otcovi, oslice. A Kíš povedal Saulovi, svojmu synovi: Nože pojmi so sebou jedného zo sluhov a zoberúc sa idi, hľadaj oslice!

4 (KJV) And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalisha, but they found them not: then they passed through the land of Shalim, and there they were not: and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they found them not.
4 (ROH) Tak prešiel vrch Efraimov a prešiel zem Šalíša, ale nenašiel. Prešli aj zem Šaalím, ale ich nebolo, a prešiel i zem Benjaminovu, a nenašli.

5 (KJV) And when they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant that was with him, Come, and let us return; lest my father leave caring for the asses, and take thought for us.
5 (ROH) Keď potom prišli do zeme Cúfa, povedal Saul svojmu sluhovi, ktorý bol s ním: Poď a vráťme sa, aby neupustil môj otec od oslíc a neobával sa o nás.

6 (KJV) And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should go.
6 (ROH) A on mu povedal: Hľa, prosím, v tomto meste je muž Boží, a je to vysoko ctený človek; všetko, čokoľvek povie, sa aj stane. Nože poďme teraz ta; možno, že nám oznámi našu cestu, ktorou by sme mali ísť.

7 (KJV) Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we?
7 (ROH) Na to riekol Saul svojmu sluhovi: Dobre, ale keď pojdeme, čo donesieme človekovi? Lebo chlieb sa už minul z našich kabiel, ani daru niet, ktorý by sme doniesli mužovi Božiemu. Čo máme?

8 (KJV) And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way.
8 (ROH) A sluha zase odpovedal Saulovi a riekol: Hľa, našla sa u mňa štvrtina šekla striebra; dám to mužovi Božiemu, a oznámi nám našu cestu.

9 (KJV) (Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)
9 (ROH) Predtým tak hovorieval človek v Izraelovi, keď išiel pýtať sa na niečo Boha: Poďte, a pojdeme k vidiacemu. Lebo prorokovi dnes hovorilo sa predtým: vidiaci.

10 (KJV) Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God was.
10 (ROH) A Saul riekol svojmu sluhovi: Dobrá je tvoja reč. Poď, ideme. A tak išli do mesta, v ktorom bol muž Boží.

11 (KJV) And as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here?
11 (ROH) A keď išli svahom hore do mesta, našli nejaké dievčatá, ktoré boly vyšly von brať vodu, a povedali im: Či je tu niekde vidiaci?

12 (KJV) And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, he is before you: make haste now, for he came to day to the city; for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place:
12 (ROH) A ony im odpovedaly a riekly: Je; hľa, hen pred tebou! Ponáhľaj sa teraz, lebo dnes prišiel do mesta, pretože dnes má ľud bitnú obeť na výšine.

13 (KJV) As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him.
13 (ROH) Ako vojdete do mesta, hneď ho najdete, prv ako vyjde na výšinu jesť, lebo ľud nebude jesť, dokiaľ neprijde, lebo on požehná bitnej obeti, a len potom budú jesť pozvaní. A tak teraz iďte hore, lebo práve teraz ho najdete.

14 (KJV) And they went up into the city: and when they were come into the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the high place.
14 (ROH) A išli hore do mesta. A keď prišli naprostred mesta, hľa, Samuel im vychádzal oproti idúc na výšinu.

15 (KJV) Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying,
15 (ROH) A Hospodin bol zjavil Samuelovi jeden deň prv, ako prišiel Saul, a riekol:

16 (KJV) To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me.
16 (ROH) Zajtra o tomto čase pošlem k tebe muža zo zeme Benjaminovej, ktorého pomažeš za vojvodcu nad mojím ľudom Izraelom, a zachráni môj ľud vyslobodiac ho z ruky Filištínov, lebo som pohliadol na svoj ľud, pretože jeho krik prišiel ku mne.

17 (KJV) And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people.
17 (ROH) A Samuel uvidel Saula. A Hospodin mu odpovedal: Hľa, to je ten muž, o ktorom som ti povedal. Tento bude panovať nad mojím ľudom.

18 (KJV) Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house is.
18 (ROH) Keď sa potom priblížil Saul Samuelovi vprostred brány, povedal: Povedz mi, prosím, kde je tu dom vidiaceho.

19 (KJV) And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer: go up before me unto the high place; for ye shall eat with me to day, and to morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thine heart.
19 (ROH) A Samuel odpovedal Saulovi a riekol: Ja som ten vidiaci; vyjdi predo mnou na výšinu, a budete so mnou jesť dnes, a ráno ťa prepustím, a všetko, čo máš na srdci, ti oznámim.

20 (KJV) And as for thine asses that were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on them; for they are found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on thee, and on all thy father's house?
20 (ROH) A o oslice, ktoré sa ti ztratily toto dnes už tretí deň, sa nestaraj, lebo sa našly. A pre kohože je všetko najžiadostnejšie v Izraelovi? Či azda nie pre teba a pre celý dom tvojho otca?

21 (KJV) And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? wherefore then speakest thou so to me?
21 (ROH) Na to odpovedal Saul a riekol: Či nie som ja syn Benjaminovi, ktorý je z najmenších pokolení Izraelových? A moja čeľaď je najmenšia od všetkých čeľadí pokolení Benjaminových. Prečo mi potom hovoríš také slovo?

22 (KJV) And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the parlour, and made them sit in the chiefest place among them that were bidden, which were about thirty persons.
22 (ROH) No, Samuel pojal Saula i jeho sluhu a doviedol ich do izby a dal im najprednejšie miesto medzi pozvanými, ktorých bolo asi tridsať mužov.

23 (KJV) And Samuel said unto the cook, Bring the portion which I gave thee, of which I said unto thee, Set it by thee.
23 (ROH) A Samuel povedal kuchárovi: Nože daj diel, ktorý som ti dal, o ktorom som ti povedal: Odlož ho u seba.

24 (KJV) And the cook took up the shoulder, and that which was upon it, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, Behold that which is left! set it before thee, and eat: for unto this time hath it been kept for thee since I said, I have invited the people. So Saul did eat with Samuel that day.
24 (ROH) A kuchár zdvihol plece a to, čo bolo na ňom, a položil pred Saula. A Samuel riekol: Tu hľa, čo zostalo, polož pred seba, jedz, lebo je to zachované k tejto chvíli pre teba, jako som povedal: Povolal som ľud. A tak jedol Saul toho dňa so Samuelom.

25 (KJV) And when they were come down from the high place into the city, Samuel communed with Saul upon the top of the house.
25 (ROH) A keď sišli s výšiny do mesta, hovoril so Saulom na postreší.

26 (KJV) And they arose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad.
26 (ROH) A vstali skoro ráno. A stalo sa, keď vychádzala ranná zora, že zavolal Samuel na Saula na postrešie povediac: Vstaň, a prepustím ťa. Vtedy vstal Saul, a vyšli von obidvaja, on i Samuel.

27 (KJV) And as they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on,) but stand thou still a while, that I may shew thee the word of God.
27 (ROH) A keď prichádzali dolu na koniec mesta, povedal Samuel Saulovi: Povedz sluhovi, aby pošiel pred nami. A popošiel. A ty, doložil ešte, postoj tu chvíľu, aby som ti ohlásil slovo Božie.
