Kings I 12
1 And Samuel said to all Israel, Behold, I have listened to your voice in all things that you have said to me, and I have set a king over you.
Tada reèe Samuilo svemu Izrailju: eto, poslušao sam glas vaš u svemu što mi rekoste, i postavih cara nad vama.
2 And now, behold, the king goes before you; and I am grown old and shall rest; and, behold, my sons [are] amongst you; and, behold, I have gone about before you from my youth to this day.
I sada eto, car ide pred vama, a ja sam ostario i osijedio; i sinovi moji eto su meðu vama; i ja sam išao pred vama od mladosti svoje do danas.
3 Behold, [here am] I, answer against me before the Lord and before his anointed: whose calf have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom of you have I oppressed? or from whose hand have I taken a bribe, even [to] a sandal? bear witness against me, and I will make restitution to you.
Evo me; odgovorite mi pred Gospodom i pred pomazanikom njegovijem. Kome sam uzeo vola ili kome sam uzeo magarca? kome sam uèinio nasilje? kome sam uèinio krivo? ili iz èije sam ruke uzeo poklon, da bih stiskao oèi njega radi? pak æu vam vratiti.
4 And they said to Samuel, You have not injured us, and you have not oppressed us; and you have not afflicted us, and you have not taken anything from any one's hand.
A oni rekoše: nijesi nam uèinio sile niti si kome uèinio krivo, niti si uzeo što iz èije ruke.
5 And Samuel said to the people, The Lord [is] witness amongst you, and his anointed [is] witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand: and they said, [He is] witness.
Jošte im reèe: svjedok je Gospod na vas, i svjedok je pomazanik njegov danas, da nijeste našli ništa u mojim rukama. I rekoše: svjedok je.
6 And Samuel spoke to the people, saying, The Lord who appointed Moses and Aaron [is] witness, who brought our fathers up out of Egypt.
Tada reèe Samuilo narodu: Gospod je koji je postavio Mojsija i Arona, i koji je izveo oce vaše iz zemlje Misirske.
7 And now stand still, and I will judge you before the Lord; and I will relate to you all the righteousness of the Lord, the things which he has wrought amongst you and your fathers.
Sada dakle stanite da se prem s vama pred Gospodom za sva dobra što je èinio Gospod vama i vašim ocima.
8 When Jacob and his sons went into Egypt, and Egypt humbled them, then our fathers cried to the Lord, and the Lord sent Moses and Aaron; and they brought our fathers out of Egypt, and he made them to dwell in this place.
Pošto doðe Jakov u Misir, vikaše oci vaši ka Gospodu, i Gospod posla Mojsija i Arona, koji izvedoše oce vaše iz Misira i naseliše ih na ovom mjestu.
9 And they forgot the Lord their God, and he sold them into the hands of Sisara captain of the host of Jabis king of Asor, and into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the king of Moab; and he fought with them.
Ali zaboraviše Gospoda Boga svojega, te ih dade u ruke Sisari vojvodi Asorskom, i u ruke Filistejima, i u ruke caru Moavskomu, koji vojevaše na njih.
10 And they cried to the Lord, and said, We have sinned, for we have forsaken the Lord, and have served Baalim and the groves: and now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve you.
Ali vikaše ka Gospodu i rekoše: sagriješismo što ostavismo Gospoda i služismo Valima i Astarotama; ali sada izbavi nas iz ruku neprijatelja naših, pa æemo ti služiti.
11 And he sent Jerobaal, and Barac, and Jephthae, and Samuel, and rescued us out of the hand of our enemies round about, and you lived in security.
I Gospod posla Jerovala i Vedana i Jeftaja i Samuila, i ote vas iz ruku neprijatelja vaših unaokolo, te živjeste bez straha.
12 And you saw that Naas king of the children of Ammon came against you, and you said, Nay, none but a king shall reign over us; whereas the Lord our God [is] our king.
Ali kad vidjeste Nasa cara Amonskoga gdje doðe na vas, rekoste mi: ne, nego car neka caruje nad nama, premda Gospod Bog vaš bješe car vaš.
13 And now behold the king whom you have chosen; and behold, the Lord has set a king over you.
Sada dakle, eto cara kojega izabraste, kojega iskaste; evo, Gospod je postavio cara nad vama.
14 If you should fear the Lord, and serve him, and listen to his voice, and not resist the mouth of the Lord, and you and your king that reigns over you should follow the Lord, [well].
Ako se uzbojite Gospoda, i njemu uzaslužite, i uzaslušate glas njegov i ne usprotivite se zapovijesti Gospodnjoj, tada æete i vi i car vaš koji caruje nad vama iæi za Gospodom Bogom svojim.
15 But if you should not listen to the voice of the Lord, and you should resist the mouth of the Lord, then shall the hand of the Lord be upon you and upon your king.
Ako li ne uzaslušate glasa Gospodnjega, nego se usprotivite zapovijesti Gospodnjoj, tada æe biti ruka Gospodnja protiv vas kao što je bila protiv otaca vaših.
16 And now stand still, and see this great thing, which the Lord will do before your eyes.
Ali stanite sada jošte, i vidite ovu stvar veliku koju æe uèiniti Gospod pred vašim oèima.
17 [Is it] not wheat harvest today? I will call upon the Lord, and he shall send thunder and rain; and know you and see, that your wickedness [is] great which you have wrought before the Lord, having asked for yourselves a king.
Nije li danas žetva pšenièna? Ja æu prizvati Gospoda, i spustiæe gromove i dažd, da razumijete i vidite koliko je zlo što uèiniste pred Gospodom iskavši sebi cara.
18 And Samuel called upon the Lord, and the Lord sent thunders and rain in that day; and all the people feared greatly the Lord and Samuel.
Tada Samuilo zavapi ka Gospodu, i Gospod spusti gromove i dažd u taj dan; i sav se narod poboja vrlo Gospoda i Samuila.
19 And all the people said to Samuel, Pray for your servants to the Lord your God, and let us not die; for we have added to all our sins this iniquity, in asking for us a king.
I reèe sav narod Samuilu: moli se za sluge svoje Gospodu Bogu svojemu da ne pomremo; jer dodasmo k svijem grijesima svojim zlo ištuæi sebi cara.
20 And Samuel said to the people, Fear not: you have [indeed] wrought all this iniquity; only turn not from following the Lord, and serve the Lord with all your heart.
Tada reèe Samuilo narodu: ne bojte se, vi ste uèinili sve ovo zlo; ali ne otstupajte od Gospoda, nego služite Gospodu svijem srcem svojim.
21 And turn not aside after the [gods] that are nothing, who will do nothing, and will not deliver [you], because they are nothing.
Ne otstupajte; jer biste pošli za ništavim stvarima, koje ne pomažu, niti izbavljaju, jer su ništave.
22 For the Lord will not cast off his people for his great name's sake, because the Lord graciously took you to himself for a people.
Jer Gospod neæe ostaviti naroda svojega radi velikoga imena svojega; jer Gospodu bi volja da vas uèini svojim narodom.
23 And far be it from me to sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you: but I will serve the Lord, and show you the good and the right way.
A meni ne dao Bog da zgriješim Gospodu i prestanem moliti se za vas; nego æu vas upuæivati na put dobar i prav.
24 Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth and with all your heart, for you see what great things he has wrought with you.
Samo se Bojte Gospoda i služite mu istinito, svijem srcem svojim, jer vidite, kakve je velike stvari uèinio za vas.
25 But if you continue to do evil, then shall you and your king be consumed.
Ako li zlo ušèinite, propašæete i vi i car vaš.
