2 Samuelova 16
1 A když David sešel maličko s vrchu, aj Síba služebník Mifibozetův vyšel proti němu se dvěma osly osedlanými, na nichž nesl dvě stě chlebů, a sto hroznů suchých, a sto hrud fíků, a nádobu vína.
When David had gone a short distance over the summit of the hill, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him with a couple of saddled donkeys; on them were two hundred loaves of bread, one hundred clusters of raisins, and one hundred bunches of figs, and a skin of wine.
2 I řekl král Síbovi: K čemu jsou tyto věci? Odpověděl Síba: Oslové pro čeled královskou k jízdě, chléb pak a fíky, aby jedli služebníci, a víno, aby se napil, kdož by ustal na poušti.
The king said to Ziba, “Why did you bring these things?” Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for the king's household to ride on, the bread and fig cakes are for your men to eat, and the wine is for anyone who is faint in the wilderness to drink.”
3 Opět král řekl: Kdež jest pak syn pána tvého? Odpověděl Síba králi: Aj, zůstal v Jeruzalémě, nebo řekl: Dnes navrátí mi dům Izraelský království otce mého.
The king said, “Then where is your master's grandson?” Ziba replied to the king, “Look, he has stayed behind in Jerusalem, for he said, 'Today the house of Israel will restore my father's kingdom to me.'”
4 Řekl ještě král Síbovi: Aj, tvéť jsou všecky věci, kteréž má Mifibozet. Jemuž řekl Síba s poklonou: Nechať vždycky tak nalézám milost před očima tvýma, pane můj králi.
Then the king said to Ziba, “Look, all that belonged to Mephibosheth now belongs to you.” Ziba answered, “I bow in humility to you, my master, king. Let me find favor in your eyes.”
5 Tedy bral se král David do Bahurim, a aj, vyšel odtud muž z čeledi domu Saulova, jehož jméno bylo Semei, syn Gerův, kterýžto vždy jda, zlořečil.
When King David approached Bahurim, there came out from there a man from the clan of Saul, whose name was Shimei son of Gera. He came out cursing as he walked.
6 Ano i kamením házel na Davida, a na všecky služebníky krále Davida, ačkoli všecken lid a všickni udatní byli po pravici jeho i po levici jeho.
He threw stones at David and at all of the king's officials, in spite of the army and bodyguards who were on the king's right and left.
7 A takto mluvil Semei, když mu zlořečil: Vyjdi, vyjdi, vražedlníče a nešlechetníče.
Shimei called out in cursing, “Go away, get out of here, you villain, you man of blood!
8 Obrátilť jest na tebe Hospodin všelikou krev domu Saulova, na jehož jsi místě kraloval, a dal Hospodin království v ruku Absolona syna tvého. A aj, již se vidíš v svém neštěstí, nebo jsi vražedlník.
Yahweh has repaid all of you for the blood you shed within the family of Saul, in whose place you have reigned. Yahweh has given the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son. You have come to ruin because you are a man of blood.”
9 I řekl Abizai syn Sarvie králi: I proč zlořečí tento mrtvý pes pánu mému králi? Nechť jdu medle a setnu mu hlavu.
Then Abishai son of Zeruiah, said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my master the king? Please let me go over and take off his head.”
10 Ale král řekl: Co vám do toho, synové Sarvie, že zlořečí? Poněvadž Hospodin jemu rozkázal: Zlořeč Davidovi, i kdož by směl říci: Proč tak činíš?
But the king said, “What have I to do with you, sons of Zeruiah? Perhaps he is cursing me because Yahweh has said to him, 'Curse David.' Who then could say to him, 'Why are you cursing the king?'”
11 Řekl ještě David k Abizai i ke všechněm služebníkům svým: Aj, syn můj, kterýž pošel z života mého, hledá bezživotí mého, čím více nyní tento syn Jemini? Nechte ho, ať zlořečí, nebo jemu rozkázal Hospodin.
So David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Look, my son, who was born from my body, wants to take my life. How much more may this Benjamite now desire my ruin? Leave him alone and let him curse, for Yahweh has commanded him to do it.
12 Snad popatří Hospodin na ssoužení mé, a odplatí mi Hospodin dobrým za zlořečenství jeho dnes.
Perhaps Yahweh will look at the misery unleashed on me, and repay me with good for his cursing me today.”
13 A tak šel David a muži jeho cestou. Semei také šel po stráni hory naproti němu, a jda, zlořečil a házel kamením proti němu a zmítal prachem.
So David and his men traveled on the road, while Shimei went beside him up on the hillside, cursing and throwing dust and stones at him as he went.
14 I přišel král a všecken lid, kterýž byl s ním, ustalý, a odpočinul tu.
Then the king and all the people who were with him became weary, and he rested when they stopped for the night.
15 Absolon pak i všecken lid Izraelský přišli do Jeruzaléma, a Achitofel s ním.
As for Absalom and all the men of Israel who were with him, they came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.
16 A když přišel Chusai Architský, přítel Davidův k Absolonovi, řekl Chusai Absolonovi: Živ buď král, živ buď král.
It came about when Hushai the Arkite, David's friend, had come to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”
17 Tedy řekl Absolon k Chusai: Toliž jest vděčnost tvá k příteli tvému? Pročež jsi nešel s přítelem svým?
Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with him?”
18 Odpověděl Chusai Absolonovi: Nikoli, ale kohož vyvolil Hospodin a lid tento i všickni muži Izraelští, toho budu a s tím zůstanu.
Hushai said to Absalom, “No! Instead, the one whom Yahweh and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, that is the man to whom I will belong, and I will stay with him.
19 Přesto komuž bych já sloužiti měl? Zdali ne synu jeho? Jakož jsem sloužil otci tvému, tak sloužiti budu tobě.
Also, what man should I serve? Should I not serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father's presence, I will serve in your presence.”
20 Řekl pak Absolon Achitofelovi: Raďtež, co máme činiti?
Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give us your advice about what we should do.”
21 Odpověděl Achitofel Absolonovi: Vejdi k ženinám otce svého, kterýchž zanechal, aby hlídaly doma. I uslyší všecken Izrael, žes se zošklivil otci svému, a zsilí se ruce všech, kteříž jsou s tebou.
Ahithophel answered Absalom, “Go sleep with your father's slave wives whom he has left to keep the palace, and all Israel will hear that you have become a stench to your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strong.”
22 A protož rozbili Absolonovi stan na paláci. I všel Absolon k ženinám otce svého před očima všeho Izraele.
So they spread for Absalom a tent on the top of the palace, and Absalom slept with his father's slave wives in the sight of all Israel.
23 Rada pak Achitofelova, kterouž dával toho času, byla, jako by se kdo doptával na řeč Boží. Taková byla každá rada Achitofelova, jakož u Davida tak u Absolona.
Now the advice of Ahithophel that he gave in those days was as if a man heard from the mouth of God himself. That was how all of Ahithophel's advice was viewed by both David and Absalom.
