1 Kings 1
1 Now King David was old and far on in years; and though they put covers over him, his body was cold.
Kralj David bijaše ostario i odmakao u godinama; premda su ga pokrivali mnogim pokrivačima, nije se mogao ugrijati.
2 So his servants said to him, Let search be made for a young virgin for my lord the king, to take care of him and be waiting on him; and you may take her in your arms, and so my lord the king will be warm.
Tada mu rekoše njegove sluge: “Trebalo bi potražiti za gospodara mladu djevojku koja bi dvorila kralja i služila mu: kad bude spavala na njegovu krilu, to će ugrijati kralja gospodara.”
3 So after searching through all the land of Israel for a fair young girl, they saw Abishag the Shunammite, and took her to the king.
Potražiše, dakle, lijepu djevojku po svoj zemlji izraelskoj; i nađoše Abišagu Šunamku te je dovedoše kralju.
4 Now she was very beautiful; and she took care of the king, waiting on him at all times; but the king had no connection with her.
Djevojka je bila izvanredno lijepa; njegovala je kralja i služila mu, ali je on ne upozna.
5 Then Adonijah, the son of Haggith, lifting himself up in pride, said, I will become king; and he made ready his carriages of war and his horsemen, with fifty runners to go before him.
Uto se Adonija, sin Hagitin, pooholi i pomisli: “Ja ću biti kralj!” Zato nabavi sebi kola i konjanika i pedeset ljudi koji su išli pred njim.
6 Now all his life his father had never gone against him or said to him, Why have you done so? and he was a very good-looking man, and younger than Absalom.
Njegov ga otac za svoga života nikad nije ukorio niti ga kad upitao: “Zašto tako činiš?” Bio je, osim toga, stasit i lijep, a mati ga rodila poslije Abšaloma.
7 And he had talk with Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest; and they were on his side and gave him their support.
On se dogovarao s Joabom, sinom Sarvijinim, i sa svećenikom Ebjatarom, pa se obojica priključiše Adoniji.
8 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet and Shimei and Rei, and David's men of war did not take the side of Adonijah.
Ali svećenik Sadok i Jojadin sin Benaja, prorok Natan, Šimej i Rei i junaci Davidovi ne pristadoše uz Adoniju.
9 Then Adonijah put to death sheep and oxen and fat beasts by the stone of Zoheleth, by En-rogel; and he sent for all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants, to come to him:
Jednom nakla Adonija ovaca, volova i tovljene teladi za žrtvu kod Zoheledskog kamena, blizu izvora Rogela, te pozva svu svoju braću, sinove kraljeve, i sve Judejce u kraljevoj službi;
10 But he did not send for Nathan the prophet and Benaiah and the other men of war and Solomon his brother.
ali ne pozva proroka Natana, ni Benaje, ni ostalih junaka, a ni svoga brata Salomona.
11 Then Nathan said to Bath-sheba, the mother of Solomon, Has it not come to your ears that Adonijah, the son of Haggith, has made himself king without the knowledge of David our lord?
Tada reče Natan Bat-Šebi, majci Salomonovoj: “Zar nisi čula da je Adonija, sin Hagitin, postao kraljem, a da David, naš gospodar, o tome i ne zna?
12 So now, let me make a suggestion, so that you may keep your life safe and the life of your son Solomon.
Dođi da te savjetujem kako bi mogla spasiti život svoj i svoga sina Salomona.
13 Come now, go to King David and say to him, Did you not, O my lord, take an oath to me, your servant, saying, Truly Solomon your son will be king after me, seated on the seat of my kingdom? why then is Adonijah acting as king?
Hajde, otiđi kralju Davidu i reci mu: 'Zar se nisi ti, gospodaru moj kralju, zakleo svojoj službenici govoreći: Tvoj sin Salomon kraljevat će poslije mene, i on će sjediti na mome prijestolju! Kako sada Adonija posta kraljem?'
14 And while you are still talking there with the king, see, I will come in after you and say that your story is true.
I dok ti budeš ondje i razgovorala se s kraljem, doći ću ja za tobom i potvrditi tvoje riječi.”
15 Then Bath-sheba went into the king's room; now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was waiting on him.
Bat-Šeba ode kralju u odaje - a on je bio vrlo star i Abišaga Šunamka služila mu.
16 And Bath-sheba went down on her face on the earth before the king giving him honour. And he said, What is your desire?
Pokloni mu se Bat-Šeba i pade ničice pred kraljem, a kralj upita: “Što želiš?”
17 And she said to him, My lord, you took an oath by the Lord your God and gave your word to your servant, saying, Truly, Solomon your son will be king after me, seated on the seat of my kingdom.
Ona mu odgovori: “Gospodaru, ti si se zakleo službenici svojoj Jahvom, Bogom svojim: 'Tvoj sin Salomon kraljevat će poslije mene, on će sjesti na moje prijestolje.'
18 And now, see, Adonijah has made himself king without my lord's knowledge;
A sada je, evo, Adonija postao kraljem, a ti, kralju, gospodaru moj, ništa o tome i ne znaš!
19 And has put to death oxen and fat beasts and sheep in great numbers, and has sent for all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab, the captain of the army; but he has not sent for Solomon your servant.
Naklao je on mnogo volova, tovljene teladi i ovaca za žrtvu i pozvao je sve sinove kraljeve, svećenika Ebjatara i vojskovođu Joaba, ali slugu tvoga Salomona nije pozvao.
20 And now, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, waiting for you to say who is to take the place of my lord the king after him.
U tebe su sada, gospodaru moj i kralju, uprte oči svega Izraela da mu ti objaviš tko će te naslijediti na tvome prijestolju, kralju, gospodaru moj.
21 For as things are, it will come about, when my lord the king is sleeping with his fathers, that I and Solomon my son will be made outlaws.
Inače, čim počine kralj, gospodar moj, kraj svojih otaca, ja i moj sin Salomon bit ćemo krivci.”
22 And while she was still talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
Dok je ona još govorila s kraljem, dođe prorok Natan.
23 And they said to the king, Here is Nathan the prophet. And when he came in before the king, he went down on his face on the earth.
Javiše kralju: “Ovdje je prorok Natan.” On uđe kralju i pade ničice pred njim.
24 And Nathan said, O my lord king, have you said, Adonijah is to be king after me, seated on the seat of my kingdom?
Natan reče: “Gospodaru moj i kralju, jesi li ti odredio: 'Adonija će kraljevati poslije mene i sjedit će na mome prijestolju?'
25 Because today he has gone down and has put to death oxen and fat beasts and sheep in great numbers, and has sent for all the king's sons to come to him, with the captains of the army and Abiathar the priest; and they are feasting before him and crying, Long life to King Adonijah!
Jer evo danas je sišao i naklao volova, ugojene teladi i ovaca za žrtvu i pozvao je sve sinove kraljeve, vojskovođe i svećenika Ebjatara; eno ih gdje jedu i piju s njim i kliču: 'Živio kralj Adonija!'
26 But me, your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon, he has not sent for.
Ali mene, tvoga slugu, svećenika Sadoka, a ni Benaju, sina Jojadina, ni tvoga slugu Salomona nije pozvao.
27 Has this thing been done by my lord the king, without giving word to your servants who was to be placed on my lord the king's seat after him?
Zar se to dogodilo s voljom gospodara moga kralja, a da nisi obavijestio svoga vjernog sluge tko će biti nasljednik na prijestolju gospodara moga kralja?”
28 Then King David in answer said, Send for Bath-sheba to come to me. And she came in and took her place before the king.
Tada progovori David i reče: “Pozovite mi Bat-Šebu!” Ona dođe kralju i stupi preda nj.
29 And the king took an oath, and said, By the living Lord, who has been my saviour from all my troubles,
Kralj se tada zakle: “Tako mi Jahve živoga koji me izbavio iz svih nevolja!
30 As I took an oath to you by the Lord, the God of Israel, saying, Certainly Solomon your son will become king after me, seated on my seat in my place; so will I do this day.
Danas ću ti ispuniti kako sam ti se zakleo Jahvom, Bogom Izraelovim: tvoj će sin Salomon kraljevati poslije mene, on će sjediti na mome prijestolju!”
31 Then Bath-sheba went down on her face on the earth before the king giving him honour, and said, May my lord King David go on living for ever.
Nato se nakloni Bat-Šeba licem do zemlje, pokloni se pred kraljem i reče: “Neka vječno živi gospodar moj kralj David!”
32 And King David said, Send for Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.
A kralj David reče: “Pozovite mi svećenika Sadoka, proroka Natana i Benaju, sina Jojadina.” I dođoše oni pred kralja,
33 And the king said to them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and put Solomon my son on my beast, yes, mine, and take him down to Gihon;
a on im reče: “Uzmite sluge svoga gospodara sa sobom, posadite moga sina Salomona na moju mazgu i odvedite ga do Gihona.
34 And there let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet put the holy oil on him to make him king over Israel; and sounding the horn say, Long life to King Solomon!
Ondje neka ga svećenik Sadok i prorok Natan pomažu za kralja nad Izraelom. Zatrubite tada i obznanite: 'Živio kralj Salomon!'
35 Then come up after him and he will come in and take his place on the seat of my kingdom; for he is to be king in my place, and I have given orders that he is to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.
Zatim se uspnite amo s njim i neka uđe i sjedne na moje prijestolje i neka kraljuje mjesto mene, jer moja je volja: on neka bude glava nad Izraelom i nad Judom.”
36 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, answering the king, said, So be it: and may the Lord, the God of my lord the king, say so.
Benaja, sin Jojadin, reče kralju: “Amen - tako neka bude! To je i riječ Jahve, Gospodara kraljeva!
37 As the Lord has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon and make the seat of his authority greater than that of my lord King David.
Kao što je Jahve bio s mojim gospodarem kraljem, tako neka bude i sa Salomonom! Neka uzvisi prijestolje njegovo još više nego prijestolje kralja Davida, gospodara moga!”
38 So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, went down and put Solomon on King David's beast and took him to Gihon.
Svećenik Sadok, prorok Natan, Jojadin sin Benaja, Kerećani i Pelećani siđoše i posadiše Salomona na kraljevu mazgu i odvedoše ga na Gihon.
39 And Zadok the priest took the vessel of oil out of the Tent, and put the holy oil on Solomon. And when the horn was sounded, all the people said, Long life to King Solomon!
Svećenik Sadok donese iz Šatora rog s uljem i pomaza Salomona. Tada odjeknuše trube i sav narod povika: “Živio kralj Salomon!”
40 And all the people came up after him, piping with pipes, and they were glad with great joy, so that the earth was shaking with the sound.
I sav narod pođe za njim gore i sviraše puk u svirale i klicaše tako da se sva zemlja tresla.
41 And it came to the ears of Adonijah and all the guests who were with him, when their meal was ended. And Joab, hearing the sound of the horn, said, What is the reason of this noise as if the town was worked up?
Čuo to Adonija i svi njegovi uzvanici. Baš su bili pri kraju gozbe. I Joab je čuo trube pa upita: “Čemu ta buka u gradu?”
42 And while the words were on his lips, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, came; and Adonijah said, Come in; for you are a man of good faith and the news which you have for us will be good.
Dok je on još govorio, stiže Jonatan, sin svećenika Ebjatara, i Adonija mu reče: “Ti si valjan čovjek, zacijelo nosiš dobru vijest!”
43 And Jonathan, answering, said to Adonijah, Not so, but our lord King David has made Solomon king:
Jonatan odgovori: “Jest, naš gospodar, kralj David, učinio je Salomona kraljem!
44 And he sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they put him on the king's beast:
Kralj je poslao s njim svećenika Sadoka, proroka Natana i Jojadina sina Benaju, i Kerećane i Pelećane. Oni ga posadiše na kraljevu mazgu,
45 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet put the holy oil on him and made him king in Gihon; and they came back from there with joy, and the town was all worked up. This is the noise which has come to your ears.
i svećenik Sadok i prorok Natan pomazaše ga na Gihonu za kralja. Zatim su sišli radosno kličući, i sav je grad uzavreo; to je buka koju ste čuli.
46 And now Solomon is seated on the seat of the kingdom.
Još više: Salomon je već sjeo na kraljevsko prijestolje
47 And the king's servants came to our lord King David, blessing him and saying, May God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and the seat of his authority greater than your seat; and the king was bent low in worship on his bed.
i došle su sluge kraljeve čestitati našem gospodaru kralju Davidu govoreći: 'Neka Bog tvoj proslavi ime Salomonovo više od imena tvoga i prijestolje njegovo uzvisi više od tvoga.' Kralj se tada poklonio na svojoj postelji
48 Then the king said, May the God of Israel be praised, who has given one of my seed to be king in my place this day and has let my eyes see it.
i ovako rekao: 'Neka je blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, koji mi dade danas da mogu vidjeti svojim očima jednoga od mojih kako sjedi na mome prijestolju.'”
49 And all the guests of Adonijah got up in fear and went away, every man to his place.
Svi uzvanici Adonijini, uplašeni, ustadoše od stola i raziđoše se svaki svojim putem.
50 And Adonijah himself was full of fear because of Solomon; and he got up and went to the altar, and put his hands on its horns.
Adonija pak, u strahu od Salomona, usta i ode te se uhvati za rogove žrtvenika.
51 And they gave Solomon word of it, saying, See, Adonijah goes in such fear of King Solomon, that he has put his hands on the horns of the altar, saying, Let King Solomon first give me his oath that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.
Javiše Salomonu: “Gle, Adonija se uplašio kralja Salomona i eno se drži za rogove žrtvenika govoreći: 'Neka mi se danas kralj Salomon zakune da neće sluge svoga mačem pogubiti.'”
52 And Solomon said, If he is seen to be a man of good faith, not a hair of him will be touched; but if any wrongdoing is seen in him, he is to be put to death.
Salomon reče nato: “Ako se pokaže poštenim čovjekom, neće mu ni vlas s glave pasti na zemlju; a nađe li se u zlu, poginut će.”
53 So King Solomon sent, and they took him down from the altar. And he came and gave honour to King Solomon; and Solomon said to him, Go to your house.
Tada zapovjedi Salomon da ga odmaknu od žrtvenika; on dođe i pade ničice pred Salomonom, koji mu reče: “Pođi svome domu!”
