2 Samuel 14
1 Now it was clear to Joab, the son of Zeruiah, that the king's heart was turning to Absalom.
Torej Cerújin sin Joáb je zaznal, da je bilo kraljevo srce [nagnjeno] k Absalomu.
2 And Joab sent to Tekoa and got from there a wise woman, and said to her, Now make yourself seem like one given up to grief, and put on the clothing of sorrow, not using any sweet oil for your body, but looking like one who for a long time has been weeping for the dead:
Joáb je poslal v Tekóo in od tam privedel modro žensko ter ji rekel: »Prosim te, hlini se, da si žalovalka in sedaj si nadeni žalovalno obleko in se ne mazili z oljem, temveč bodi kakor ženska, ki je dolgo časa žalovala za mrtvim
3 And come to the king and say these words to him. So Joab gave her words to say.
in pojdi h kralju in mu govori na ta način.« Tako je Joáb položil besede v njena usta.
4 And the woman of Tekoa came to the king, and falling on her face, gave him honour and said, Give me help, O king.
Ko je ženska iz Tekóe govorila kralju, je padla na svoj obraz do tal in se globoko priklonila ter rekla: »Pomagaj, oh kralj.«
5 And the king said to her, What is your trouble? And her answer was, Truly I am a widow, and my husband is dead.
Kralj ji je rekel: »Kaj te pesti?« Odgovorila je: »Res sem vdova in moj soprog je mrtev.
6 And I had two sons, and the two of them had a fight in the field, and there was no one to come between them, and one with a blow put the other to death.
Tvoja pomočnica je imela dva sinova in skupaj sta se prepirala na polju in tam ni bilo nobenega, da ju loči, temveč je eden udaril drugega in ga usmrtil.
7 And now all the family is turned against me, your servant, saying, Give up him who was the cause of his brother's death, so that we may put him to death in payment for the life of his brother, whose life he took; and we will put an end to the one who will get the heritage: so they will put out my last burning coal, and my husband will have no name or offspring on the face of the earth.
Glej, celotna družina je vstala zoper tvojo pomočnico in rekli so: ›Izroči tega, ki je usmrtil svojega brata, da ga bomo lahko ubili za življenje njegovega brata, ki ga je usmrtil in tudi dediča bomo uničili.‹ Tako bodo pogasili moj ogorek, ki je ostal in mojemu soprogu ne bodo pustili niti imena niti ostanka na tej zemlji.«
8 And the king said to the woman, Go to your house and I will give orders about this.
Kralj je rekel ženski: »Pojdi k svoji hiši in glede tebe dal bom zadolžitev.«
9 And the woman of Tekoa said to the king, My lord, O king, may the sin be on me and on my family, and may the king and the seat of his kingdom be clear of sin!
Ženska iz Tekóe je rekla kralju: »Moj gospod, oh kralj, krivičnost bodi na meni in na hiši mojega očeta, kralj in njegov prestol pa naj bosta brez krivde.«
10 And the king said, If anyone says anything to you, make him come to me, and he will do you no more damage.
Kralj je rekel: »Kdorkoli ti karkoli reče, ga privedi k meni in ne bo se te več dotaknil.«
11 Then she said, Let the king keep in mind the Lord your God, so that he who gives punishment for blood may be kept back from further destruction and that no one may send death on my son. And he said, By the living Lord, not a hair of your son's head will come to the earth.
Potem je rekla: »Prosim te, naj se kralj spomni Gospoda, svojega Boga, da ti nočeš trpeti, da krvni maščevalci še naprej uničujejo, da ne bi uničili mojega sina.« Rekel je: »Kakor Gospod živi niti en las tvojega sina ne bo padel k zemlji.«
12 Then the woman said, Will the king let his servant say one word more? And he said, Say on.
Potem je ženska rekla: »Naj tvoja pomočnica, prosim te, spregovori eno besedo mojemu gospodu kralju.« In ta je rekel: »Povej.«
13 And the woman said, Why have you had such a thought about the people of God? (for in saying these very words the king has put himself in the wrong because he has not taken back the one whom he sent far away.)
Ženska je rekla: »Zakaj si potem mislil storiti takšno stvar zoper Božje ljudstvo? Kajti kralj govori to stvar kakor nekdo, ki je pomanjkljiv, v tem, da kralj ne privede ponovno domov svojega pregnanega.
14 For death comes to us all, and we are like water drained out on the earth, which it is not possible to take up again; and God will not take away the life of the man whose purpose is that he who has been sent away may not be completely cut off from him.
Kajti mi moramo umreti in smo kakor voda, razlita na tla, ki ne more biti ponovno zbrana niti Bog ne upošteva nobene osebe, vendar snuje način, da njegov pregnani ne bo izključen od njega.
15 And now it is my fear of the people which has made me come to say these words to my lord the king: and your servant said, I will put my cause before the king, and it may be that he will give effect to my request.
Zdaj torej, ko sem prišla, da o tej stvari govorim mojemu gospodu kralju, je to zato, ker me je ljudstvo prestrašilo. Tvoja pomočnica je rekla: ›Spregovorila bom torej kralju. Lahko se zgodi, da bo kralj izpolnil zahtevo svoje pomočnice.‹
16 For the king will give ear, and take his servant out of the power of the man whose purpose is the destruction of me and my son together from the heritage of God.
Kajti kralj bo slišal, da svojo pomočnico osvobodi iz roke človeka, ki hoče skupaj uničiti tako mene in mojega sina iz Božje dediščine.
17 Then your servant said, May the word of my lord the king give me peace! for my lord the king is as the angel of God in his hearing of good and bad: and may the Lord your God be with you!
Potem je tvoja pomočnica rekla Gospodu: ›Beseda mojega gospoda kralja bo sedaj tolažilna, kajti kakor angel od Boga, tako je moj gospod kralj, da razlikuje dobro in slabo, zato bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, s teboj.‹«
18 Then the king said to the woman, Now give me an answer to the question I am going to put to you; keep nothing back. And the woman said, Let my lord the king say on.
Potem je kralj ženski odgovoril in rekel: »Ne skrivaj pred menoj, prosim te, stvari, ki jo bom vprašal.« Ženska je rekla: »Naj moj gospod kralj sedaj spregovori.«
19 And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with you in all this? And the woman in answer said, By the life of your soul, my lord the king, it is not possible for anyone to go to the right hand or to the left from anything said by the king: your servant Joab gave me orders, and put all these words in my mouth:
Kralj je rekel: » Mar ni v vsem tem s teboj Joábova roka?« Ženska je odgovorila ter rekla: » Kakor živi tvoja duša, moj gospod kralj, nihče se ne more izogniti ne na desno ne na levo od tega, kar je moj gospod kralj govoril, kajti tvoj služabnik Joáb mi je zaukazal in on je položil vse te besede v usta tvoje pomočnice,
20 This he did, hoping that the face of this business might be changed: and my lord is wise, with the wisdom of the angel of God, having knowledge of everything on earth.
da privleče na dan to obliko govora, je tvoj služabnik Joáb storil to stvar. In moj gospod je moder, glede na modrost Božjega angela, da ve vse stvari, ki so na zemlji.«
21 And the king said to Joab, See now, I will do this thing: go then and Come back with the young man Absalom.
Kralj je rekel Joábu: »Glej torej, jaz sem storil to stvar, zato pojdi, ponovno privedi mladeniča Absaloma.«
22 Then Joab, falling down on his face on the earth, gave the king honour and blessing; and Joab said, Today it is clear to your servant that I have grace in your eyes, my lord king, because the king has given effect to the request of his servant.
Joáb je padel k tlom, na svoj obraz, se upognil in zahvalil kralju in Joáb je rekel: »Danes tvoj služabnik vé, da sem našel milost v tvojem pogledu, moj gospod, oh kralj, v tem, da je kralj izpolnil zahtevo svojega služabnika.«
23 So Joab got up and went to Geshur and came back again to Jerusalem with Absalom.
Tako je Joáb vstal in odšel v Gešur in Absaloma privedel v Jeruzalem.
24 And the king said, Let him go to his house, but let him not see my face. So Absalom went back to his house and did not see the face of the king.
Kralj je rekel: »Naj se obrne k svoji lastni hiši in naj ne vidi mojega obraza.« Tako se je Absalom vrnil k svoji lastni hiši in ni videl kraljevega obraza.
25 Now in all Israel there was no one so greatly to be praised for his beautiful form as Absalom: from his feet to the crown of his head he was completely beautiful.
Toda v vsem Izraelu ni bilo nikogar, da bi bil tako zelo hvaljen zaradi svoje lepote kakor Absalom. Od podplata svojega stopala, celo do krone njegove glave, ni bilo na njem nobenega madeža.
26 And when he had his hair cut, (which he did at the end of every year, because of the weight of his hair; ) the weight of the hair was two hundred shekels by the king's weight.
In ko je ostrigel svojo glavo (kajti ob koncu vsakega leta si jo je ostrigel, ker so bili lasje na njem težki, zato jo je ostrigel) si je stehtal lase svoje glave, dvesto šeklov po kraljevi teži.
27 And Absalom was the father of three sons and of one daughter named Tamar, who was very beautiful.
Absalomu so se tam rodili trije sinovi in ena hči, ki ji je bilo ime Tamara. Bila je ženska lepega obličja.
28 For two full years Absalom was living in Jerusalem without ever seeing the face of the king.
Tako je Absalom dve polni leti prebival v Jeruzalemu in ni videl kraljevega obraza.
29 Then Absalom sent for Joab to send him to the king, but he would not come to him: and he sent again a second time, but he would not come.
Zato je Absalom poslal po Joába, da ga pošlje h kralju, toda ta ni hotel priti k njemu in ko je drugič ponovno poslal, ta ni hotel priti.
30 So he said to his servants, See, Joab's field is near mine, and he has barley in it; go and put it on fire. And Absalom's servants put the field on fire.
Zato je rekel svojim služabnikom: »Glejte, Joábovo polje je v bližini mojega in tam ima ječmen. Pojdite in ga požgite.« In Absalomovi služabniki so zažgali polje.
31 Then Joab came to Absalom in his house and said to him, Why have your servants put my field on fire?
Potem je Joáb vstal in prišel k Absalomu v njegovo hišo ter mu rekel: »Zakaj so tvoji služabniki zažgali moje polje?«
32 And Absalom's answer was, See, I sent to you saying, Come here, so that I may send you to the king to say, Why have I come back from Geshur? it would be better for me to be there still: let me now see the king's face, and if there is any sin in me, let him put me to death.
Absalom je odgovoril Joábu: »Glej, poslal sem k tebi, rekoč: ›Pridi sèm, da te lahko pošljem h kralju, da rečem: ›Zakaj sem prišel iz Gešurja?‹‹ Zame bi bilo dobro, da bi bil še vedno tam. Sedaj mi torej pusti videti kraljev obraz in če bo kakršnakoli krivičnost v meni, naj me ubije.«
33 So Joab went to the king and said these words to him: and when the king had sent for him, Absalom came, and went down on his face on the earth before the king: and the king gave him a kiss.
Tako je Joáb prišel h kralju in mu povedal in ko je dal poklicati Absaloma, je ta prišel h kralju in se pred kraljem priklonil na svoj obraz do tal in kralj je poljubil Absaloma.
