2 Samuel 15

1 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.

A poslije toga nabavi sebi Avesalom kola i konja i pedeset ljudi, koji trèahu pred njim.

2 And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that, when any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.

I ustajaše rano Avesalom, i stajaše kraj puta kod vrata; i ko god imaše parnicu i iðaše caru na sud, Avesalom ga dozivaše k sebi i govoraše: iz koga si grada? A kad bi onaj odgovorio: sluga je tvoj iz toga i toga plemena Izrailjeva,

3 And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.

Tada bi mu rekao Avesalom: vidiš, tvoja je stvar dobra i pravedna, ali te nema ko saslušati kod cara.

4 Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!

Još govoraše Avesalom: kad bih ja bio postavljen da sudim u zemlji! da svaki k meni dolazi koji ima posla na sudu, ja bih mu dao pravicu.

5 And it was so, that, when any man came nigh to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him.

I kad bi mu ko pristupio da mu se pokloni, on bi pružio ruku svoju, te bi ga uhvatio i poljubio.

6 And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

Tako èinjaše Avesalom sa svakim Izrailjcem, koji dolažaše na sud k caru; i Avesalom primamljivaše srca ljudi Izrailjaca.

7 And it came to pass at the end of forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto Jehovah, in Hebron.

A kad proðe èetrdeset godina, reèe Avesalom caru: da otidem u Hevron da izvršim zavjet koji sam zavjetovao Gospodu.

8 For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If Jehovah shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve Jehovah.

Jer kad sjeðah u Gesuru u Siriji, uèini zavjet sluga tvoj rekavši: ako me Gospod odvede natrag u Jerusalim, poslužiæu Gospodu.

9 And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.

A car mu reèe: idi s mirom. I on se podiže i otide u Hevron.

10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom is king in Hebron.

I razasla Avesalom po svijem plemenima Izrailjevim uhode poruèivši: kad èujete trube da zatrube, recite: zacari se Avesalom u Hevronu.

11 And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they knew not anything.

A s Avesalomom otide dvjesta ljudi iz Jerusalima pozvanijeh; ali otidoše u prostoti svojoj ne znajuæi ništa.

12 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.

A Avesalom posla i po Ahitofela Gilonjanina, savjetnika Davidova, da doðe iz grada svojega Gilona, kad prinošaše žrtve. I buna posta jaka, i narod se sve više stjecaše k Avesalomu.

13 And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.

Tada doðe glasnik k Davidu i reèe: srce Izrailju prista za Avesalomom.

14 And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for else none of us shall escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.

A David reèe svijem slugama svojim koje bijahu s njim u Jerusalimu: ustajte, da bježimo; inaèe neæemo uteæi od Avesaloma; brže pohitajte, da ne pohita on i ne stigne nas i obori na nas zlo, i grada ne okrene pod maè.

15 And the king’s servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall choose.

A sluge careve rekoše caru: što je god volja caru gospodaru našemu, evo sluga tvojih.

16 And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, that were concubines, to keep the house.

I otide car pješice i sav dom njegov; samo deset žena inoèa ostavi car da mu èuvaju kuæu.

17 And the king went forth, and all the people after him; and they tarried in Beth-merhak.

I kad otide car i sav narod pješice, ustaviše se na jednom mjestu podaleko.

18 And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men that came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.

A sve sluge njegove iðahu uza nj, i svi Hereteji i svi Feleteji; i svi Geteji, šest stotina ljudi, koji bijahu došli pješke iz Gata, iðahu pred carem.

19 Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return, and abide with the king: for thou art a foreigner, and also an exile; [return] to thine own place.

I reèe car Itaju Getejinu: što i ti ideš s nama? Vrati se i ostani kod cara; jer si stranac i opet æeš otiæi u svoje mjesto.

20 Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us, seeing I go whither I may? return thou, and take back thy brethren; mercy and truth be with thee.

Juèe si došao, pa zar danas da te kreæem da se potucaš s nama? Ja æu iæi kuda mogu, a ti se vrati i odvedi natrag braæu svoju. Neka milost i vjera bude s tobom.

21 And Ittai answered the king, and said, As Jehovah liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether for death or for life, even there also will thy servant be.

A Itaj odgovori caru i reèe: tako živ da je Gospod i tako da je živ car gospodar moj, gdje bude car gospodar moj, bilo na smrt ili na život, ondje æe biti i sluga tvoj.

22 And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.

Tada reèe David Itaju: a ti hodi. I tako poðe Itaj Getejin sa svijem ljudima svojim i svom djecom što bijahu s njim.

23 And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.

I sva zemlja plakaše iza glasa i sav narod prelažaše. I tako car prijeðe preko potoka Kedrona, i sav narod prijeðe iduæi k pustinji.

24 And, lo, Zadok also [came], and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done passing out of the city.

A gle i Sadok bijaše ondje i svi Leviti s njim noseæi kovèeg zavjeta Božijega; i spustiše kovèeg Božji, a poðe i Avijatar, dokle sav narod izide iz grada.

25 And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favor in the eyes of Jehovah, he will bring me again, and show me both it, and his habitation:

I reèe car Sadoku: nosi kovèeg Božji natrag u grad; ako naðem milost pred Gospodom, on æe me dovesti natrag, i daæe mi da opet vidim njega i dom njegov.

26 but if he say thus, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him.

Ako li ovako reèe: nijesi mi mio; evo me, neka uèini sa mnom što mu bude volja.

27 The king said also unto Zadok the priest, Art thou [not] a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.

Još reèe car Sadoku svešteniku: nijesi li ti vidjelac? vrati se u grad s mirom, i Ahimas sin tvoj i Jonatan sin Avijatarov, dva sina vaša s vama.

28 See, I will tarry at the fords of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me.

Vidite, ja æu se zabaviti u polju u pustinji dokle ne doðe od vas glasnik da mi javi.

29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they abode there.

I tako Sadok i Avijatar odnesoše kovèeg Božji natrag u Jerusalim, i ostaše ondje.

30 And David went up by the ascent of the [mount of] Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered, and went barefoot: and all the people that were with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.

A David iðaše uz goru Maslinsku, i iduæi plakaše, i pokrivene glave i bos iðaše; tako i sav narod, koji bješe s njim, svaki pokrivene glave iðaše, i iduæi plakaše.

31 And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O Jehovah, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.

Tada javiše Davidu i rekoše mu: Ahitofel je meðu onima koji se pobuniše s Avesalomom. A David reèe: razbij namjeru Ahitofelovu, Gospode!

32 And it came to pass, that, when David was come to the top [of the ascent], where God was worshipped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head.

I kad David doðe navrh gore, gdje se šæaše pokloniti Bogu, gle, srete ga Husaj Arhijanin razdrte haljine i glave posute prahom.

33 And David said unto him, If thou passest on with me, then thou wilt be a burden unto me:

I reèe mu David: ako poðeš sa mnom biæeš mi na tegotu.

34 but if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father’s servant in time past, so will I now be thy servant; then wilt thou defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.

Ali da se vratiš u grad i reèeš Avesalomu: biæu tvoj sluga, care! bio sam dugo sluga tvome ocu, a sada æu tako biti tebi sluga; razbiæeš mi namjeru Ahitofelovu.

35 And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, that what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king’s house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.

I sveštenici Sadok i Avijatar neæe li biti s tobom? Što god èuješ iz kuæe careve, dokaži Sadoku i Avijataru sveštenicima.

36 Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son; and by them ye shall send unto me everything that ye shall hear.

Eto, ondje su s njima dva sina njihova, Ahimas Sadokov i Jonatan Avijatarov, po njima mi javljajte što god doèujete.

37 So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.

I otide u grad Husaj prijatelj Davidov, i Avesalom doðe u Jerusalim.
