1 Samuelova 25

1 Uto umrije Samuel. Sav se Izrael skupi i oplaka ga naričući za njim; i pokopaše ga u njegovu zavičaju u Rami. A David usta i siđe u pustinju Paran.

And Samuel died, and all Israel assembled, and bewailed him, and they bury him in his house in Armathaim: and David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Maon.

2 U Maonu živio čovjek koji je imao svoje gospodarstvo u Karmelu; bio je to vrlo bogat čovjek, imao je tri tisuće ovaca i tisuću koza. Upravo je tada strigao svoje ovce u Karmelu.

And there was a man in Maon, and his flocks were in Carmel, and [he was] a very great man; and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand she-goats: and he happened to be shearing his flock in Carmel.

3 Taj se čovjek zvao Nabal, a njegova žena Abigajila. Žena je bila mudra i vrlo lijepa, a čovjek surov i opak: bio je Kalebovac.

And the man's name [was] Nabal, and his wife's name [was] Abigaia: and his wife [was] of good understanding and very beautiful in person: but the man [was] harsh, and evil in his doings, and the man [was] churlish.

4 David je u pustinji čuo da Nabal striže svoje ovce.

And David heard in the wilderness, that Nabal the Carmelite was shearing his sheep.

5 Stoga posla deset momaka naloživši im: “Idite gore u Karmel, otiđite k Nabalu i pozdravite ga u moje ime.

And David sent ten young men, and he said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and ask him in my name how he is.

6 I recite ovako mome bratu: 'Mir tebi, mir tvome domu, mir svemu što imaš!

And thus shall you say, May you and your house seasonably prosper, and all your be in prosperity.

7 Sada, čujem, strižeš ovce. A tvoji su pastiri bili kod nas, nismo ih dirali, ništa im nije nestalo dokle god su bili u Karmelu.

And now, behold, I have heard that your shepherds who were with is in the wilderness are shearing your sheep, and we hindered them not, neither did we demand any thing from them all the time they were in Carmel.

8 Pitaj svoje sluge i kazat će ti. Zato neka ovi momci nađu milost pred tobom, jer smo došli u svečan dan. Podaj svojim slugama i svome sinu Davidu što ti se nađe pri ruci.'”

Ask your servants, and they will tell you. Let then your servants find grace in your eyes, for we are come on a good day; give we pray you, whatever your hand may find, to your son David.

9 Dođoše momci Davidovi i ponoviše Nabalu u Davidovo ime sve ove riječi, a onda pričekaše.

So the servants come and speak these words to Nabal, according to all these words in the name of David.

10 Ali Nabal odgovori Davidovim slugama ovako: “Tko je David, tko je Jišajev sin? Danas ima mnogo slugu koji su pobjegli od svojih gospodara.

And Nabal sprang up, and answered the servants of David, and said, Who [is] David? and who [is] the son of Jessae? Now-a-days there is abundance of servants who depart every one from his master.

11 Zar da uzmem svoj kruh, svoju vodu, svoju stoku koju sam poklao za svoje strigače pa da to poklonim ljudima o kojima ne znam ni odakle su?”

And shall I take my bread, and my wine, and my beasts that I have slain for my shearers, and shall I give them to men of whom I know not whence they are?

12 Davidovi se momci okrenuše i vratiše se svojim putem. Kad su se vratili, javiše sve ove riječi Davidu.

So the servants of David turned back, and returned, and came and reported to David according to these words.

13 A David reče svojim ljudima: “Pripašite svaki svoj mač!” I pripasaše svaki svoj mač, i David pripasa svoj, i oko četiri stotine ljudi krenu za Davidom, dok ih dvije stotine osta kod tovara.

And David said to his men, Gird on every man his sword. And they went up after David, about four hundred men: and two hundred abode with the stuff.

14 A ženi Nabalovoj, Abigajili, javio jedan od Nabalovih slugu ovo: “Eto, David je poslao iz pustinje glasnike da pozdrave našega gospodara, a on ih potjerao.

And one of the servants reported to Abigaia the wife of Nabal, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our lord; but he turned away from them.

15 A ti su ljudi bili vrlo dobri prema nama: nisu nas dirali, ništa nismo izgubili dokle god smo bili u njihovoj blizini kad smo bili u polju.

And the men were very good to us; they did not hinder us, neither did they demand from us any thing all the days that we were with them.

16 Noću i danju bili su nam kao bedem u sve vrijeme dok smo bili s njima pasući stada.

And when we were in the field, they were as a wall round about us, both by night and by day, all the days that we were with them feeding the flock.

17 Razmisli sada i vidi što ćeš učiniti, jer je gotova pogibija našem gospodaru i svemu njegovu domu; a on je opak čovjek komu se ne može ništa kazati.”

And now do you consider, and see what you will do; for mischief is determined against our lord and against his house; and he [is] a vile character, and one can’t speak to him.

18 Abigajila brzo uze dvije stotine hljebova, dva mijeha vina, pet zgotovljenih ovaca, pet mjera pržena žita, sto grozdova suhoga grožđa, dvije stotine smokovih kolača i sve to natovari na magarce.

And Abigaia hasted, and took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five ephahs of fine flour, and one homer of dried grapes, and two hundred cakes of figs, and put them upon asses.

19 I zapovjedi svojim slugama: “Idite preda mnom, a ja ću za vama.” Svome mužu Nabalu nije kazala ništa.

And she said to her servants, Go on before me, and behold I come after you: but she told not her husband.

20 Dok je, jašući na magarcu, silazila iza gorskog zavoja, David je sa svojim ljudima silazio nasuprot njoj, tako da se ona susrela s njima.

And it came to pass when she had mounted her ass and was going down by the covert of the mountain, behold, David and his men came down to meet her, and she met them.

21 A David je upravo mislio: “Uzalud sam, dakle, zaštićivao u pustinji sve što je taj čovjek imao i ništa mu nije nestalo od svega što je posjedovao! Sada mi vraća zlo za dobro!

And David said, Perhaps I have kept all his possessions in the wilderness that he should wrong me, and we did not order the taking anything of all his goods; yet he has rewarded me evil for good.

22 Neka Bog učini Davidu ovo zlo i neka mu doda drugo ako Nabalu do zore od svega što ima ostavim i ono što mokri uza zid!”

So God do to David and more also, if I leave one male of all that belong to Nabal until the morning.

23 Kad je Abigajila ugledala Davida, brzo sjaha s magarca i pade pred Davida ničice, poklonivši se do zemlje.

And Abigaia saw David, and she hasted and alighted from her ass; and she felt before David on her face, and did obeisance to him, [bowing] to the ground

24 Bacivši mu se tako pred noge, reče: “Gospodaru, neka na mene padne krivica! Dopusti da službenica tvoja progovori tvojim ušima i udostoj se poslušati riječi službenice svoje!

[even] to his feet, and said, On me, my lord, be my wrong: let, I pray you, your servant speak in your ears, and hear you the words of your servant.

25 Neka moj gospodar ne gleda na toga opakog čovjeka, na Nabala, jer on s pravom nosi svoje ime: zove se Luda i ludost je s njim. A ja, službenica tvoja, nisam vidjela momaka koje je poslao moj gospodar.

Let not my lord, I pray you, take to heart this pestilent man, for according to his name, so is he; Nabal [is] his name, and folly [is] with him: but I your handmaid saw not the servants of my lord whom you did send.

26 Zato sada, gospodaru, živoga mi Jahve, i tako živ bio ti, i tako ti Jahve koji te očuvao da ne svališ na se krvnu krivicu i da ne pribaviš sebi pravdu svojom rukom: neka prođu kao Nabal tvoji neprijatelji i oni koji snuju zlo mome gospodaru!

And now, my lord, [as] the Lord lives, and your soul lives, as the Lord has kept you from coming against innocent blood, and from executing vengeance for yourself, now therefore let your enemies, and those that seek evil against my lord, become as Nabal.

27 A ovaj dar, što ga evo tvoja službenica nosi svome gospodaru, neka se dade momcima koji idu za mojim gospodarom na njegovim putovima.

And now accept this token of goodwill, which your servant has brought to my lord, and you shall give it to the servants that wait on my lord.

28 Oprosti službenici svojoj njezinu krivnju! Zacijelo će Jahve osnovati trajan dom mome gospodaru, jer moj gospodar bije Jahvine bojeve i za svega tvoga života neće se naći zlo na tebi.

Remove, I pray you, the trespass of your servant; for the Lord will surely make for my lord a sure house, for the Lord fights the battles of my lord, and there shall no evil be ever found in you.

29 Ako se tko digne da te progoni i da ti radi o glavi, neka život moga gospodara bude pohranjen u škrinji života kod Jahve, tvoga Boga, a život tvojih neprijatelja neka on baci kao iz praćke.

And [if] a man shall rise up persecuting you and seeking your life, yet shall the life of my lord be bound up in the bundle of life with the Lord God, and you shall whirl the life of your enemies [as] in the midst of a sling.

30 I kad Jahve učini mome gospodaru svako dobro koje ti je obećao i kad te odredi da budeš knezom nad Izraelom,

And it shall be when the Lord shall have wrought for my lord all the good things he has spoken concerning you, and shall appoint you to be ruler over Israel;

31 onda neka ne bude na smutnju ni na grižnju savjesti mome gospodaru da je ni za što prolio krv i da je sebi pribavio pravdu svojoj rukom. I kad Jahve učini dobro mome gospodaru, sjeti se tada službenice svoje!”

then this shall not be an abomination and offence to my lord, to have shed innocent blood without cause, and for my lord to have avenged himself: and so may the Lord do good to my lord, and you shall remember your handmaid to do her good.

32 David odgovori Abigajili: “Neka je blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, koji te danas poslao meni u susret!

And David said to Abigaia, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel, who sent you this very day to meet me:

33 Neka je blagoslovljena tvoja mudrost i blagoslovljena bila ti što si me danas zadržala da ne svalim na se krvnu krivicu i da ne pribavim sebi pravdu svojom rukom.

and blessed [be] your conduct, and blessed [be] you, who have hindered me this very day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself.

34 Ali, tako mi živog Jahve, Boga Izraelova, koji nije dopustio da ti učinim zlo: da mi nisi tako brzo izišla u susret, zaista ne bi Nabalu do jutra ostalo ni ono što uza zid mokri!”

But surely as the Lord God of Israel lives, who hindered me this day from doing you harm, if you had not hasted and come to meet me, then I said, There shall [surely] not be left to Nabal till the morning one male.

35 Nato David primi iz njezine ruke što mu bijaše donijela i reče joj: “Vrati se s mirom svojoj kući. Gle, uslišao sam tvoj glas i obazreo se na tebe.”

And David took of her hand all that she brought to him, and said to her, Go in peace to your house: see, I have listened to your voice, and accepted your petition.

36 Kad se Abigajila vratila k Nabalu, on je upravo imao gozbu u kući, pravu kraljevsku gozbu: Nabal bijaše veseo i sasvim pijan; zato mu ona ne reče ništa dok nije svanulo jutro.

And Abigaia came to Nabal: and, behold, he had a banquet in this house, as the banquet of a king, and the heart of Nabal [was] merry within him, and he [was] very drunken: and she told him nothing great or small till the morning light.

37 A ujutro, kad se Nabal otrijeznio, pripovjedi mu njegova žena sve što se dogodilo, a njemu obamrije srce u grudima i on osta kao da se skamenio.

And it came to pass in the morning, when Nabal recovered from his wine, his wife told him these words; and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

38 A desetak dana poslije toga Jahve udari Nabala te umrije.

And it came to pass after about ten days, that the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.

39 Kad David ču da je umro Nabal, reče: “Neka je blagoslovljen Jahve, koji mi je ispravio nepravdu što mi je učini Nabal; i Jahve je očuvao svoga slugu da ne učini zla, a svalio je Nabalovu zloću na njegovu glavu!” Potom David posla poruku Abigajili da će je uzeti za ženu.

And David heard it and said, Blessed [be] the Lord, who has judged the cause of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and has delivered his servant from the power of evil; and the Lord has returned the mischief of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and spoke concerning Abigaia, to take her to himself for a wife.

40 Davidove sluge dođoše k Abigajili u Karmel i rekoše joj: “David nas je poslao k tebi da te uzme sebi za ženu.”

So the servants of David came to Abigaia to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to you, to take you to himself for a wife.

41 A ona ustade, pokloni se do zemlje i reče: “Evo službenice tvoje koja je spremna da bude robinja i da pere noge slugama svoga gospodara!”

And she arose, and did reverence with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, your servant [is] for an handmaid to wash the feet of your servants.

42 Potom Abigajila brzo ustade i zajaha na magarca, a za njom pođe pet njezinih dvorkinja. Tako je otišla za Davidovim poslanicima i postala njegovom ženom.

And Abigaia arose, and mounted her ass, and five damsels followed her: and she went after the servants of David, and became his wife.

43 I Ahinoamom iz Jizreela bijaše se oženio David i obje mu bjehu žene.

And David took Achinaam out of Jezrael, and they were both his wives.

44 Jer Šaul bijaše svoju kćer Mikalu, Davidovu ženu, dao Paltiju, sinu Lajiša iz Galima.

And Saul gave Melchol his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Amis who was of Romma.
