2 Samuelova 19
1 I javiše Joabu: “Eno kralj plače i tuguje za Abšalomom.”
Joab was told, “Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom.”
2 Tako se pobjeda u onaj dan pretvorila u žalost za svu vojsku, jer je vojska čula u onaj dan da kralj tuguje za svojim sinom.
The victory that day was turned into mourning among all the people, for the people heard it said that day, “The king grieves for his son.”
3 I toga se dana vojskom kradom vrati u grad, kao što se kradom šulja vojska koja se osramotila bježeći iz boja.
The people sneaked into the city that day, as people who are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
4 A kralj je pokrio svoje lice i vapio iza glasa: “Sine moj Abšalome! Abšalome, sine moj! Sine moj!”
The king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, “My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son!”
5 Tada Joab dođe kralju u kuću i reče mu: “Postiđuješ danas lice svih svojih slugu koji su danas spasili život tebi, život tvojim sinovima i tvojim kćerima, život tvojim ženama i život inočama tvojim,
Joab came into the house to the king, and said, “Today you have shamed the faces of all your servants who today have saved your life, and the lives of your sons and of your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines;
6 jer iskazuješ ljubav onima koji te mrze, a mržnju onima koji te ljube. Danas si pokazao da ti ništa nije ni do vojvoda ni do vojnika, jer vidim sada da bi ti sasvim pravo bilo kad bi Abšalom bio živ, a mi svi da smo danas poginuli.
in that you love those who hate you and hate those who love you. For you have declared today that princes and servants are nothing to you. For today I perceive that if Absalom had lived and we had all died today, then it would have pleased you well.
7 Zato sada ustani, iziđi i prijazno progovori svojim vojnicima; jer, kunem ti se Jahvom, ako ne iziđeš, nijedan čovjek neće ostati noćas s tobom, i to će ti biti veća nesreća od svih koje su te snašle od tvoje mladosti pa do sada.”
Now therefore arise, go out and speak to comfort your servants; for I swear by Yahweh, if you don’t go out, not a man will stay with you this night. That would be worse to you than all the evil that has happened to you from your youth until now.”
8 Kralj ustade i sjede na vrata. Javiše to svemu narodu govoreći: “Eno kralj sjedi na vratima.” I sav narod dođe pred kralja. A Izraelci bijahu pobjegli svaki u svoj šator.
Then the king arose and sat in the gate. The people were all told, “Behold, the king is sitting in the gate.” All the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled every man to his tent.
9 I sav se narod po svim Izraelovim plemenima prepirao govoreći: “Kralj nas je izbavio iz ruku naših neprijatelja, on nas je izbavio iz ruku filistejskih, a sada je morao pobjeći iz zemlje ispred Abšaloma.
All the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he has fled out of the land from Absalom.
10 A Abšalom koga smo pomazali za kralja poginuo je u boju. Zašto se, dakle, kolebate dovesti kralja natrag?”
Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why don’t you speak a word of bringing the king back?”
11 Te riječi svega Izraela dopru do kralja u njegovu kuću. Zato kralj David poruči svećenicima Sadoku i Ebjataru: “Recite starješinama judejskim ovako: 'Zašto da vi budete posljednji koji će kralja dovesti u njegovu kuću?
King David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, “Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, ‘Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house, since the speech of all Israel has come to the king, to return him to his house?
12 Vi ste moja braća, vi ste od moga mesa i od mojih kosti. Zašto biste, dakle, bili posljednji koji će dovesti kralja natrag?'
You are my brothers. You are my bone and my flesh. Why then are you the last to bring back the king?’
13 Recite i Amasi: 'Nisi li ti od mojih kosti i od moga mesa? Neka mi Bog učini zlo i neka mi doda drugo ako mi ne budeš zauvijek vojvoda nad mojom vojskom namjesto Joaba!'”
Say to Amasa, ‘Aren’t you my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if you aren’t captain of the army before me continually instead of Joab.’”
14 Tada se složiše svi ljudi Judina roda kao jedan čovjek i poručiše kralju: “Vrati se sa svim svojim ljudima!”
He bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as one man, so that they sent to the king, saying, “Return, you and all your servants.”
15 I tako se kralj vrati i dođe do Jordana, a Judejci bijahu stigli do Gilgala dolazeći u susret kralju da prate kralja na prijelazu preko Jordana.
So the king returned, and came to the Jordan. Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan.
16 Tada je pohitio i Šimej, sin Gerin, Benjaminovac iz Bahurima, i sišao s Judejcima u susret kralju Davidu.
Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was of Bahurim, hurried and came down with the men of Judah to meet King David.
17 Imao je sa sobom tisuću ljudi od Benjaminova plemena. I Siba, sluga Šaulova doma, sa petnaest svojih sinova i dvadeset svojih slugu, dođe do Jordana pred kralja.
There were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of Saul’s house, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went through the Jordan in the presence of the king.
18 Dovezli su splav da prevezu kraljevu čeljad i da učine sve što bi mu bilo drago. A Gerin sin Šimej baci se pred noge kralju kad je kralj htio prijeći preko Jordana;
A ferry boat went to bring over the king’s household, and to do what he thought good. Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king when he had come over the Jordan.
19 i reče kralju: “Neka mi moj gospodar ne upiše u grijeh! Ne opominji se zla što ti ga je učinio tvoj sluga u onaj dan kad je moj gospodar i kralj izlazio iz Jeruzalema. Neka to kralj ne uzima k srcu!
He said to the king, “Don’t let my lord impute iniquity to me, or remember that which your servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.
20 Tvoj sluga uviđa da je sagriješio; zato sam, evo, došao danas prvi iz svega Josipova doma da siđem u susret svome gospodaru i kralju.”
For your servant knows that I have sinned. Therefore behold, I have come today as the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.”
21 Ali Sarvijin sin Abišaj progovori i reče: “Zar Šimej ne zaslužuje smrt što je proklinjao pomazanika Jahvina?”
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered, “Shouldn’t Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed Yahweh’s anointed?”
22 A David odgovori: “Što ja imam s vama, Sarvijini sinovi, te me danas uvodite u napast? Zar bi danas mogao tko biti pogubljen u Izraelu? TÓa sada znam da sam danas opet kralj nad Izraelom.”
David said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should be adversaries to me today? Shall any man be put to death today in Israel? For don’t I know that I am king over Israel today?”
23 Tada kralj reče Šimeju: “Nećeš poginuti!” I kralj mu se zakle.
The king said to Shimei, “You will not die.” The king swore to him.
24 I Šaulov sin Meribaal sišao je u susret kralju. On nije njegovao ni svojih nogu ni svojih ruku, nije uređivao svoje brade, nije prao svojih haljina od onoga dana kad je otišao kralj pa sve do dana kad se opet vratio u miru.
Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; and he had neither groomed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace.
25 Kad je iz Jeruzalema došao u susret kralju, upita ga kralj: “Zašto nisi pošao sa mnom, Meribaale?”
When he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, the king said to him, “Why didn’t you go with me, Mephibosheth?”
26 A on odgovori: “Kralju gospodaru! Moj me sluga prevario. Tvoj mu je sluga rekao: 'Osamari mi magaricu da je uzjašem i pođem s kraljem!' Jer tvoj je sluga hrom.
He answered, “My lord, O king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said, ‘I will saddle a donkey for myself, that I may ride on it and go with the king,’ because your servant is lame.
27 On je oklevetao tvoga slugu pred mojim gospodarom i kraljem. Ali moj je gospodar i kralj kao Božji anđeo: zato čini što je dobro u tvojim očima.
He has slandered your servant to my lord the king, but my lord the king is as an angel of God. Therefore do what is good in your eyes.
28 Jer sav moj očinski dom nije bio drugo zaslužio nego smrt od moga gospodara kralja, a ti si ipak primio svoga slugu među one koji jedu za tvojim stolom. Pa kako još imam pravo tužiti se kralju?”
For all my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king; yet you set your servant among those who ate at your own table. What right therefore have I yet that I should appeal any more to the king?”
29 A kralj mu odgovori: “Čemu da još duljiš svoj govor? Određujem: ti i Siba podijelite njive!”
The king said to him, “Why do you speak any more of your matters? I say, you and Ziba divide the land.”
30 Meribaal reče kralju: “Neka uzme i sve, kad se moj gospodar kralj sretno vratio u svoj dom!”
Mephibosheth said to the king, “Yes, let him take all, because my lord the king has come in peace to his own house.”
31 I Barzilaj Gileađanin dođe iz Rogelima i nastavi s kraljem da ga isprati preko Jordana.
Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he went over the Jordan with the king to conduct him over the Jordan.
32 Barzilaj bijaše vrlo star, bilo mu je osamdeset godina. Pribavljao je kralju opskrbu dok je boravio u Mahanajimu jer bijaše vrlo imućan čovjek.
Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even eighty years old. He had provided the king with sustenance while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very great man.
33 Kralj reče Barzilaju: “Pođi sa mnom, ja ću te u tvojim starim danima uzdržavati kod sebe u Jeruzalemu.”
The king said to Barzillai, “Come over with me, and I will sustain you with me in Jerusalem.”
34 A Barzilaj odgovori kralju: “A koliko mi još godina života ostaje da idem s kraljem u Jeruzalem?
Barzillai said to the king, “How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
35 Sada mi je osamdeset godina; mogu li još razlikovati što je dobro a što zlo? Može li tvojem sluzi još goditi što jede i pije? Mogu li još slušati glas pjevača i pjevačica? Zašto bi tvoj sluga bio još na teret mome gospodaru kralju?
I am eighty years old, today. Can I discern between good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear the voice of singing men and singing women any more? Why then should your servant be a burden to my lord the king?
36 Tvoj će sluga još samo prijeći preko Jordana s kraljem, ali zašto bi mi kralj dao takvu nagradu?
Your servant will just go over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king repay me with such a reward?
37 Dopusti svome sluzi da se vrati, da umrem u svom gradu kod groba svoga oca i svoje majke. Ali evo tvoga sluge Kimhama, neka ide dalje s mojim gospodarom kraljem, pa njemu učini što je dobro u tvojim očima!”
Please let your servant turn back again, that I may die in my own city, by the grave of my father and my mother. But behold, your servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good to you.”
38 Kralj odgovori: “Neka onda Kimham ide sa mnom dalje, a ja ću mu učiniti što bude tebi drago i što god me zamoliš sve ću mu učiniti za tebe.”
The king answered, “Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good to you. Whatever you request of me, that I will do for you.”
39 Kad je sav narod prešao preko Jordana, prijeđe i kralj, poljubi Barzilaja i blagoslovi ga, potom se ovaj vrati u svoje mjesto.
All the people went over the Jordan, and the king went over. Then the king kissed Barzillai and blessed him; and he returned to his own place.
40 Kralj nastavi put u Gilgal, a Kimham iđaše s njim. Kralja je pratio sav narod Judin i polovina naroda Izraelova.
So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went over with him. All the people of Judah brought the king over, and also half the people of Israel.
41 Uto svi Izraelci dođu pred kralja i upitaju ga: “Zašto te naša braća Judejci ukradoše i zašto prevedoše preko Jordana našega kralja i njegov dom i sve Davidove ljude s njim?”
Behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, “Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away, and brought the king and his household, over the Jordan, and all David’s men with him?”
42 A Juda odgovori Izraelu: “Kralj je meni rod. Zašto si se ražestio zbog toga? Jesam li jeo na kraljev račun? Ili sam si što prigrabio?”
All the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “Because the king is a close relative to us. Why then are you angry about this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king’s cost? Or has he given us any gift?”
43 Tada Izrael odgovori Judi ovako: “Ja imam deset udjela na kralja i prema tebi ja sam prvorođenac. Zašto si me, dakle, prezreo? Nije li moja riječ bila prva kad je trebalo natrag dovesti moga kralja?” Ali govor Judin bijaše tvrđi od govora Izraelova.
The men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, “We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more claim to David than you. Why then did you despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king?” The words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
