2 Samuel 16
1 When David had gone a little beyond the summit, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth was there to meet him. He had a pair of saddled donkeys loaded with two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred clusters of raisins, a hundred summer fruits, and a skin of wine.
Ko je David ravno prešel vrh hriba, glej, ga je srečal Mefibóšetov služabnik Cibá, s parom osedlanih oslov in na njih dvesto hlebov kruha, sto grozdov rozin, sto poletnih sadov in vinski meh.
2 “Why do you have these?” asked the king. Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride, the bread and summer fruit are for the young men to eat, and the wine is to refresh those who become exhausted in the wilderness.”
Kralj je rekel Cibáju: »Kaj nameravaš s tem?« Cibá je rekel: »Ti osli so za kraljevo družino, da jaha na njih. Kruh in poletno sadje za mladeniče, da jedo, in vino, da tisti, ki so v divjini oslabeli, lahko pijejo.«
3 “Where is your master’s grandson?” asked the king. And Ziba answered, “Indeed, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he has said, ‘Today, the house of Israel will restore to me the kingdom of my grandfather.’”
Kralj je rekel: »In kje je sin tvojega gospodarja?« Cibá je rekel kralju: »Glej, on ostaja v Jeruzalemu, kajti rekel je: ›Danes mi bo Izraelova hiša obnovila kraljestvo mojega očeta.‹«
4 So the king said to Ziba, “All that belongs to Mephibosheth is now yours!” “I humbly bow before you,” said Ziba. “May I find favor in your eyes, my lord the king!”
Potem je kralj rekel Cibáju: »Glej, tvoje je vse, kar pripada Mefibóšetu.« Cibá je rekel: »Ponižno te rotim, da lahko najdem milost v tvojem pogledu, moj gospod, oh kralj.«
5 As King David approached Bahurim, a man from the family of the house of Saul was just coming out. His name was Shimei son of Gera, and as he approached, he kept yelling out curses.
Ko je kralj David prišel v Bahurím, glej, je od tam prišel mož iz družine Savlove hiše, katerega ime je bilo Šimí, Gerájev sin. Prišel je naprej in nenehno preklinjal, medtem ko je prihajal.
6 He threw stones at David and at all the servants of the king, though the troops and all the mighty men were on David’s right and left.
V Davida in v vse služabnike kralja Davida je lučal kamne in vse ljudstvo in vsi mogočni možje so bili na njegovi desni roki in na njegovi levi.
7 And as he yelled curses, Shimei said, “Get out, get out, you worthless man of bloodshed!
Tako je govoril Šimí, ko je preklinjal: »Pridi ven, pridi ven, ti, krvoločen človek in ti, Beliálov človek.
8 The LORD has paid you back for all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and the LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. See, you have come to ruin because you are a man of bloodshed!”
Gospod je povrnil nad teboj vso kri Savlove hiše, namesto katerega si zakraljeval in Gospod je kraljestvo izročil v roko tvojega sina Absaloma. Glej, ujet si v svoji vragoliji, ker si krvoločen človek.«
9 Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and cut off his head!”
Potem je Cerújin sin Abišáj rekel kralju: »Zakaj bi ta mrtvi pes preklinjal mojega gospoda kralja? Naj grem preko, prosim te in snamem njegovo glavo.«
10 But the king replied, “What have I to do with you, O sons of Zeruiah? If he curses me because the LORD told him, ‘Curse David,’ who can ask, ‘Why did you do this?’”
Kralj pa je rekel: »Kaj imam z vama, Cerújina sinova? Tako naj preklinja, ker mu je Gospod rekel: ›Preklinjaj Davida.‹ Kdo bo potem rekel: ›Čemu si tako storil?‹«
11 Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Behold, my own son, my own flesh and blood, seeks my life. How much more, then, this Benjamite! Leave him alone and let him curse me, for the LORD has told him so.
David je rekel Abišáju in vsem svojim služabnikom: »Glejte, moj sin, ki je prišel iz moje notranjosti, mi streže po življenju. Kako mnogo bolj lahko sedaj to stori ta Benjaminovec? Pustite ga na miru in naj preklinja, kajti Gospod mu je zaukazal.
12 Perhaps the LORD will see my affliction and repay me with good for the cursing I receive today.”
Morda bo Gospod pogledal na mojo stisko in da mi bo Gospod poplačal dobro za njegovo preklinjanje ta dan.«
13 So David and his men proceeded along the road as Shimei went along the ridge of the hill opposite him. As Shimei went, he yelled curses, threw stones, and flung dust at David.
Medtem ko so David in njegovi možje šli po poti, je Šimí hodil vzdolž, na drugi strani hriba, nasproti njemu in preklinjal, medtem ko je hodil in lučal kamne vanj in metal prah.
14 Finally, the king and all the people with him arrived, exhausted. And there he refreshed himself.
Kralj in vse ljudstvo, ki so bili z njim, so prišli izmučeni in se tam osvežili.
15 Then Absalom and all the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.
Absalom in vse ljudstvo Izraelovih mož pa so prišli v Jeruzalem in Ahitófel z njim.
16 And David’s friend Hushai the Archite went to Absalom and said to him, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”
Pripetilo se je, ko je Davidov prijatelj Arkéjec Hušáj prišel k Absalomu, da je Hušáj rekel Absalomu: »Živel kralj, živel kralj.«
17 “Is this the loyalty you show your friend?” Absalom replied. “Why did you not go with your friend?”
Absalom je rekel Hušáju: » Ali je to tvoja prijaznost do tvojega prijatelja? Zakaj nisi šel s svojim prijateljem?«
18 “Not at all,” Hushai answered. “For the one chosen by the LORD, by the people, and by all the men of Israel—his I will be, and with him I will remain.
Hušáj je rekel Absalomu: »Ne, temveč katerega Gospod in to ljudstvo in vsi Izraelovi možje izberejo, njegov bom in z njim bom ostal.
19 Furthermore, whom should I serve if not the son? As I served in your father’s presence, so also I will serve in yours.”
In ponovno, komu naj bi služil? Ali naj ne bi služil v prisotnosti njegovega sina? Kakor sem služil v prisotnosti tvojega očeta, tako bom v tvoji prisotnosti.«
20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give me counsel. What should we do?”
Potem je Absalom rekel Ahitófelu: »Dajte nasvet med vami, kaj naj storimo.«
21 Ahithophel replied, “Sleep with your father’s concubines, whom he has left to keep the palace. When all Israel hears that you have become a stench to your father, then the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened.”
Ahitófel je rekel Absalomu: »Pojdi noter v priležnice svojega očeta, ki jih je pustil, da varujejo hišo in ves Izrael bo slišal, da si preziran od svojega očeta. Potem bodo močne roke vseh, ki so s teboj.«
22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he slept with his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
Tako so Absalomu razprostrli šotor na vrhu hiše in Absalom je šel v priležnice svojega očeta pred očmi vsega Izraela.
23 Now in those days the advice of Ahithophel was like the consultation of the word of God. Such was the regard that both David and Absalom had for Ahithophel’s advice.
Nasvet Ahitófela, ki je v tistih dneh svetoval, je bil, kakor če bi človek poizvedoval pri Božjem oraklju, tako so bili vsi Ahitófelovi nasveti tako z Davidom kakor z Absalomom.
