< 2 Samuel 19 >
1 And word was given to Joab that the king was weeping and sorrowing for Absalom.
To je bilo povedano Joábu: »Glej, kralj joka in žaluje za Absalomom.«
2 And the salvation of that day was changed to sorrow for all the people: for it was said to the people, The king is in bitter grief for his son.
Zmaga tega dne je bila obrnjena v žalovanje vsemu ljudstvu, kajti ljudstvo je tisti dan slišalo govoriti, kako je bil kralj užaloščen zaradi svojega sina.
3 And the people made their way back to the town quietly and secretly, as those who are shamed go secretly when they go in flight from the war.
Ljudstvo se je tisti dan skrivoma spravilo v mesto, kakor se ljudstvo, ki je osramočeno, odplazi, ko v boju zbeži.
4 But the king, covering his face, gave a great cry, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!
Toda kralj je pokril svoj obraz in kralj je jokal z močnim glasom: »Oh moj sin Absalom, oh Absalom, moj sin, moj sin!«
5 And Joab came into the house to the king and said, Today you have put to shame the faces of all your servants who even now have kept you and your sons and your daughters and your wives and all your women safe from death;
Joáb je prišel v hišo h kralju in rekel: »Ta dan si osramotil obraze vseh svojih služabnikov, ki so ta dan rešili tvoje življenje in življenja tvojih sinov in tvojih hčera in življenja tvojih soprog in življenja tvojih priležnic,
6 For your haters, it seems, are dear to you, and your friends are hated. For you have made it clear that captains and servants are nothing to you: and now I see that if Absalom was living and we had all been dead today, it would have been right in your eyes.
v tem, da ti ljubiš svoje sovražnike in sovražiš svoje prijatelje. Kajti ta dan si oznanil, da se ne oziraš niti na prince niti na služabnike, kajti ta dan zaznavam, da če bi Absalom živel in bi ta dan mi vsi umrli, potem bi ti to dobro ugajalo.
7 So get up now, and go out and say some kind words to your servants; for, by the Lord, I give you my oath, that if you do not go out, not one of them will keep with you tonight; and that will be worse for you than all the evil which has overtaken you from your earliest years.
Zdaj torej vstani, pojdi naprej in tolažilno govori svojim služabnikom, kajti prisegam pri Gospodu, če ne greš naprej, to noč nobeden ne bo ostal s teboj in huje ti bo kakor vse zlo, ki te je zadelo od tvoje mladosti do sedaj.«
8 Then the king got up and took his seat near the town-door. And word was given to all the people that the king was in the public place: and all the people came before the king. Now all the men of Israel had gone back in flight to their tents.
Potem je kralj vstal in se usedel pri velikih vratih. In vsemu ljudstvu so povedali, rekoč: »Glejte, kralj sedi pri velikih vratih.« Vse ljudstvo je prišlo pred kralja, kajti Izrael je zbežal vsak mož k svojemu šotoru.
9 And through all the tribes of Israel the people were having arguments, saying, The king made us safe from the hands of those who were against us and made us free from the hands of the Philistines; and now he has gone in flight from the land, because of Absalom.
Vse ljudstvo je bilo nesložno po vseh Izraelovih rodovih, rekoč: »Kralj nas je rešil iz roke naših sovražnikov in nas osvobodil iz roke Filistejcev; sedaj pa je zaradi Absaloma pobegnil iz dežele.
10 And Absalom, whom we made a ruler over us, is dead in the fight. So now why do you say nothing about getting the king back? And word of what all Israel was saying came to the king.
Absalom, ki smo ga mazilili nad seboj, je mrtev v bitki. Zdaj torej, zakaj ne spregovorite besedo o privedbi kralja nazaj?«
11 And King David sent word to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, Say to the responsible men of Judah, Why are you the last to take steps to get the king back to his house?
Kralj David je poslal k duhovnikoma Cadóku in Abjatárju, rekoč: »Govorita Judovim starešinam, rekoč: ›Zakaj ste zadnji, da bi privedli kralja nazaj v njegovo hišo, glede na to, da je govor vsega Izraela prišel do kralja, celó k njegovi hiši.
12 You are my brothers, my bone and my flesh; why are you the last to get the king back again?
Vi ste moji bratje, vi ste moje kosti in moje meso. Zakaj ste potem zadnji, da kralja pripeljete nazaj?‹
13 And say to Amasa, Are you not my bone and my flesh? May God's punishment be on me, if I do not make you chief of the army before me at all times in place of Joab!
In Amasáju recite: › Ali nisi ti od moje kosti in od mojega mesa? Bog naj mi tako stori in še več, če ne boš nenehno pred menoj poveljnik vojske na Joábovem položaju.‹«
14 And the hearts of the men of Judah were moved like one man; so that they sent to the king, saying, Come back, with all your servants.
In nagnil je srce vseh Judovih mož, celo kakor srce enega človeka, tako da so kralju poslali to besedo: »Vrni se ti in vsi tvoji služabniki.«
15 So the king came back, and came as far as Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, meeting the king there, to take him back with them over Jordan.
Tako se je kralj vrnil in prišel k Jordanu. In Juda je prišel v Gilgál, da gre, da sreča kralja, da spremi kralja čez Jordan.
16 And Shimei, the son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, got up quickly and went down with the men of Judah for the purpose of meeting King David;
In Šimí, Gerájev sin, Benjaminovec, ki je bil iz Bahuríma, je pohitel in prišel dol z Judovimi možmi, da sreča kralja Davida.
17 And with him a thousand men of Benjamin, and Ziba, the servant of Saul, with his fifteen sons and twenty servants, came rushing to Jordan before the king,
Tam je bilo z njim tisoč mož iz Benjamina in Cibá, služabnik Savlove hiše in njegovih petnajst sinov in njegovih dvajset služabnikov z njim in pred kraljem so šli čez Jordan.
18 And kept going across the river to take the people of the king's house over, and to do whatever was desired by the king. And Shimei, the son of Gera, went down on his face in the dust before the king, when he was about to go over Jordan,
Tam je šla čez rečna ladja, da prenese čez kraljevo družino in da stori, kar se mu je zdelo dobro. Gerájev sin Šimí pa je padel dol pred kraljem, ko je ta hotel iti čez Jordan
19 And said to him, Let me not be judged as a sinner in your eyes, O my lord, and do not keep in mind the wrong I did on the day when my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, or take it to heart.
in kralju rekel: »Naj moj gospod krivičnosti ne pripiše meni niti se ne spominjaj tega, kar je tvoj služabnik sprevrženo storil tistega dne, ko je moj gospod kralj odšel iz Jeruzalema, da bi si to kralj vzel k srcu.
20 For your servant is conscious of his sin: and so, as you see, I have come today, the first of all the sons of Joseph, for the purpose of meeting my lord the king.
Kajti tvoj služabnik ve, da sem grešil. Glej, zato sem ta dan prvi prišel iz vse Jožefove hiše, da grem dol, da srečam svojega gospoda kralja.«
21 But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said, Is not death the right fate for Shimei, because he has been cursing the one marked by the holy oil?
Toda Cerújin sin Abišáj je odgovoril in rekel: »Ali ne bo Šimí usmrčen zaradi tega, ker je preklinjal Gospodovega maziljenca?«
22 And David said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you put yourselves against me today? is it right for any man in Israel to be put to death today? for I am certain today that I am king in Israel.
David pa je rekel: »Kaj imam z vama, vidva, Cerújina sinova, da bi mi bila ta dan nasprotnika? Ali naj bo ta dan kdorkoli usmrčen v Izraelu? Kajti ali ne vem, da sem ta dan kralj nad Izraelom?«
23 So the king said to Shimei, You will not be put to death. And the king gave him his oath.
Zato je kralj rekel Šimíju: »Ne boš umrl.« In kralj mu je prisegel.
24 And Mephibosheth, the son of Saul's son, came down for the purpose of meeting the king; his feet had not been cared for or his hair cut or his clothing washed from the day when the king went away till the day when he came back in peace.
Savlov sin Mefibóšet je prišel dol, da sreča kralja in niti ni obul svojih stopal, niti ni postrigel svoje brade, niti ni umil svojih oblačil od dneva, ko je kralj odpotoval, do dneva, ko je ponovno prišel v miru.
25 Now when he had come from Jerusalem to see the king, the king said to him, Why did you not come with me, Mephibosheth?
Pripetilo se je, ko je prišel v Jeruzalem, da sreča kralja, da mu je kralj rekel: »Zakaj nisi šel z menoj, Mefibóšet?«
26 And he said in answer, Because of the deceit of my servant, my lord king: for I, your servant, said to him, You are to make ready an ass and on it I will go with the king, for your servant has not the use of his feet.
Ta je odgovoril: »Moj gospod, oh kralj, moj služabnik me je zavedel, kajti tvoj služabnik je rekel: ›Osedlal si bom osla, da bom lahko jahal na njem in šel h kralju, ker je tvoj služabnik hrom.‹
27 He has given you a false account of me: but my lord the king is like the angel of God: do then whatever seems good to you.
In ta je obrekoval tvojega služabnika mojemu gospodu kralju, toda moj gospod kralj je kakor angel od Boga. Stôri torej, kar je dobro v tvojih očeh.
28 For all my father's family were only dead men before my lord the king: and still you put your servant among those whose place is at the king's table. What right then have I to say anything more to the king?
Kajti vsi iz hiše mojega očeta so bili le kot mrtvi možje pred mojim gospodom kraljem, vendar si svojega služabnika postavil med tiste, ki so jedli pri tvoji lastni mizi. Kakšno pravico imam torej, da še kakorkoli kličem h kralju?«
29 And the king said, Say nothing more about these things. I say, Let there be a division of the land between Ziba and you.
Kralj mu je rekel: »Zakaj še govoriš o svojih zadevah? Rekel sem: ›Ti in Cibá si razdelita deželo.‹«
30 And Mephibosheth said, Let him take it all, now that my lord the king has come back to his house in peace!
Mefibóšet je rekel kralju: »Da, naj on vzame vse, potem ko se je moj gospod kralj v miru ponovno vrnil v svojo lastno hišo.«
31 And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he went on as far as Jordan with the king to take him across Jordan.
Gileádec Barziláj je prišel dol iz Roglíma in s kraljem odšel čez Jordan, da ga spremi čez Jordan.
32 Now Barzillai was a very old man, as much as eighty years old: and he had given the king everything he had need of, while he was at Mahanaim, for he was a very great man.
Torej Barziláj je bil zelo ostarel mož, star celó osemdeset let. Kralju je priskrbel oskrbo, medtem ko je ta ležal pri Mahanájimu, kajti bil je zelo izjemen človek.
33 And the king said to Barzillai, Come over with me, and I will take care of you in Jerusalem.
Kralj je rekel Barziláju: »Z menoj pridi čez in hranil te bom v Jeruzalemu.«
34 And Barzillai said to the king, How much of my life is still before me, for me to go up to Jerusalem with the king?
Barziláj pa je kralju rekel: »Doklej bom še živel, da bi s kraljem šel gor v Jeruzalem?
35 I am now eighty years old: good and bad are the same to me; have meat and drink any taste for me now? am I able to take pleasure in the voices of men or women in song? why then am I to be a trouble to my lord the king?
Ta dan sem star osemdeset let in ali lahko razločim med dobrim in zlom? Ali lahko tvoj služabnik okuša, kar jem ali kar pijem? Ali še lahko slišim glas prepevajočih mož in prepevajočih žensk? Zakaj bi bil torej tvoj služabnik še breme mojemu gospodu kralju?
36 Your servant's desire was only to take the king over Jordan; why is the king to give me such a reward?
Tvoj služabnik bo s kraljem šel krajšo pot čez Jordan. Zakaj bi me kralj poplačal s takšno nagrado?
37 Let your servant now go back again, so that when death comes to me, it may be in my town and by the resting-place of my father and mother. But here is your servant Chimham: let him go with my lord the king, and do for him what seems good to you.
Naj se tvoj služabnik, prosim te, obrne nazaj, da lahko umrem v svojem lastnem mestu in pokopan bom poleg groba svojega očeta in svoje matere. Toda poglej svojega služabnika Kimháma. Naj gre on preko z mojim gospodom kraljem in stôri mu, kakor se ti zdi dobro.«
38 And the king said in answer, Let Chimham go over with me, and I will do for him whatever seems good to you: and whatever your desire is, I will do it for you.
Kralj je odgovoril: »Kimhám bo z menoj šel preko in storil mu bom to, kar se ti zdi dobro in karkoli boš zahteval od mene, to bom storil zate.«
39 Then all the people went over Jordan, and the king went over: and the king gave Barzillai a kiss, with his blessing; and he went back to his place.
In vse ljudstvo je šlo čez Jordan. Ko je kralj prišel čez, je kralj poljubil Barzilája in ga blagoslovil, in ta se je vrnil na svoj lasten kraj.
40 So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went with him: and all the people of Judah, as well as half the people of Israel, took the king on his way.
Potem je kralj odšel naprej h Gilgálu in Kimhám je z njim odšel naprej in vse Judovo ljudstvo je spremilo kralja in tudi polovica Izraelovega ljudstva.
41 Then the men of Israel came to the king and said, Why have our countrymen of Judah taken you away in secret and come over Jordan with the king and all his family, because all his people are David's men?
Glej, vsi Izraelovi možje so prišli h kralju in kralju rekli: »Zakaj so te naši bratje, Judovi možje, ukradli in privedli kralja, njegovo družino in vse Davidove može z njim, čez Jordan?«
42 And all the men of Judah gave this answer to the men of Israel, Because the king is our near relation: why then are you angry about this? have we taken any of the king's food, or has he given us any offering?
In vsi možje iz Juda so Izraelovim možem odgovorili: »Ker nam je kralj bližnji sorodnik. Zakaj ste potem jezni zaradi te zadeve? Ali smo sploh jedli na kraljeve stroške? Ali nam je dal kakršnokoli darilo?«
43 And in answer to the men of Judah, the men of Israel said, We have ten parts in the king, and we are the first in order of birth: why did you make nothing of us? and were we not the first to make suggestions for getting the king back? And the words of the men of Judah were more violent than the words of the men of Israel.
Izraelovi možje so odgovorili Judovim možem in rekli: »V kralju imamo deset delov in mi imamo več pravice do Davida kakor vi. Čemu nas potem prezirate, da naš nasvet ne bi bil prvi v tem, da smo svojega kralja privedli nazaj?« In besede mož iz Juda so bile trše kakor besede mož iz Izraela.
