< 1 Kings 2 >

1 Now the days of David had drawn near, so that he would die, and he instructed his son Solomon, saying:
А кад дође време Давиду да умре, заповеди Соломуну, сину свом говорећи:
2 “I am entering the way of all the earth. Be strengthened and be a good man.
Ја идем куд иде све на земљи; а ти буди храбар и буди човек.
3 And observe the care of the Lord your God, so that you walk in his ways, so that you care for his ceremonies, and his precepts, and judgments, and testimonies, just as it is written in the law of Moses. So may you understand everything that you do, in any direction that you may turn yourself.
И држи шта ти је Господ Бог твој заповедио да држиш, ходећи путевима Његовим и држећи уредбе Његове и заповести Његове и законе Његове и сведочанства Његова, како је написано у закону Мојсијевом, да би напредовао у свему што узрадиш и за чим се год окренеш,
4 So may the Lord confirm his words, which he has spoken about me, saying: ‘If your sons will guard their ways, and if they will walk before me in truth, with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not be taken away from you a man on the throne of Israel.’
Да би Господ испунио реч своју коју ми је рекао говорећи: Ако успазе синови твоји на пут свој ходећи преда мном верно, свим срцем својим и свом душом својом, тада ти неће нестати човека на престолу Израиљевом.
5 Also, you know what Joab, the son of Zeruiah, has done to me, what he did to the two leaders of the army of Israel, to Abner, the son of Ner, and to Amasa, the son of Jether. He killed them, and so he shed the blood of war in peace time, and he set the bloodshed of battle on his belt, which was around his waist, and in his shoes, which were on his feet.
А ти знаш шта ми је учинио Јоав, син Серујин, шта је учинио двема војводама Израиљевим, Авениру сину Нировом и Амаси сину Јетеровом, које уби проливши у миру крв као у рату, и окаља крвљу као у рату појас свој око себе, и обућу своју на ногу.
6 Therefore, act according to your wisdom. And you shall not allow his gray head to be led away to death in peace. (Sheol h7585)
Учини дакле по мудрости својој, и немој дати да се седа глава његова спусти с миром у гроб. (Sheol h7585)
7 Then, too, repay grace to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite. And you shall allow them to eat at your table. For they met me when I fled from the face of Absalom, your brother.
Синовима пак Варзелаја од Галада учини милост, и нека буде међу онима који једу за твојим столом, јер су тако дошли к мени кад сам бежао од Авесалома, брата твог.
8 Also, you have with you Shimei, the son of Gera, the son of Benjamin, from Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse, when I went away to the camp. And he descended to meet me when I crossed over the Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying, ‘I will not put you to death by the sword,’
И ето, код тебе је Симеј, син Гирин од Венијамина из Ваурима, који ме је љуто ружио кад иђах у Маханајим; али ми дође на сусрет на Јордан, и заклех му се Господом рекавши: Нећу те убити мачем.
9 yet do not choose to treat him as if he were innocent. Since you are a wise man, you will know what to do with him. And you shall lead away his grey hair to death with blood.” (Sheol h7585)
Али му ти немој опростити, јер си мудар човек и знаћеш шта ћеш му учинити, да оправиш седу главу његову с крвљу у гроб. (Sheol h7585)
10 And so, David slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David.
Тако почину Давид код отаца својих, и би погребен у граду Давидовом.
11 Now the days during which David reigned over Israel are forty years: he reigned seven years in Hebron, thirty-three in Jerusalem.
А царова Давид над Израиљем четрдесет година: у Хеврону царова седам година, а у Јерусалиму царова тридесет и три године.
12 Then Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was strengthened exceedingly.
И Соломун седе на престо Давида оца свог, и царство се његово утврди јако.
13 And Adonijah, the son of Haggith, entered to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon. And she said to him, “Is your entrance peaceful?” He responded, “It is peaceful.”
Тада дође Адонија, син Агитин, к Витсавеји матери Соломуновој; а она рече: Јеси ли добро дошао? А он рече: Добро.
14 And he added, “My word is for you.” She said to him, “Speak.” And he said:
Потом рече: Имам нешто да ти кажем. А она рече: Говори.
15 “You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all of Israel had preferred me for themselves as king. But the kingdom was transferred, and has become my brother’s. For it was appointed to him by the Lord.
Тада рече: Ти знаш да је моје било царство, и да је у мене био упро очи сав Израиљ да ја будем цар; али се царство пренесе и допаде брату мом, јер му га Господ даде.
16 Now therefore, I beg of you one petition. May you not confound my face.” And she said to him, “Speak.”
Зато те сад молим за једно; немој ме одбити. А она му рече: Говори.
17 And he said: “I beg that you may speak to king Solomon, for he is not able to refuse anything to you, so that he may give Abishag the Shunammite to me as wife.”
А он рече: Говори цару Соломуну, јер ти он неће одбити, нека ми да за жену Ависагу Сунамку.
18 And Bathsheba said: “It is well. I will speak to the king on your behalf.”
А Витсавеја рече: Добро, ја ћу говорити цару за те.
19 Then Bathsheba went to king Solomon, so that she might speak to him on behalf of Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and he reverenced her, and he sat down upon his throne. And a throne was stationed for the mother of the king, and she sat at his right hand.
И дође Витсавеја к цару Соломуну да му говори за Адонију; а цар уста и срете је и поклонивши јој се седе на свој престо, и заповеди те наместише столицу матери његовој, и она седе њему с десне стране.
20 And she said to him: “I petition one small request from you. May you not confound my face.” And the king said to her: “Ask, my mother. For it is not right that I turn away your face.”
Тада она рече: Искала бих од тебе једну малу ствар, немој ме одбити. А цар јој рече: Ишти, мајко, нећу те одбити.
21 And she said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah, your brother, as wife.”
Она рече: Подај Ависагу Сунамку Адонији, брату свом за жену.
22 And king Solomon responded, and he said to his mother: “Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Why not request the kingdom for him! For he is my older brother, and he has Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the son of Zeruiah.”
А цар Соломун одговори матери својој и рече: Зашто иштеш Ависагу Сунамку за Адонију? Ишти и царство за њ, јер је он брат мој старији и има уза се Авијатара свештеника и Јоава сина Серујиног.
23 And so king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying: “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things! For Adonijah has spoken this word against his own life.
И закле се цар Соломун Господом говорећи: Тако да ми учини Бог и тако да дода, себи на смрт каза то Адонија данас.
24 And now, as the Lord lives, who has confirmed me and placed me upon the throne of my father David, and who, just as he said, has made a house for me: Adonijah shall be put to death this day.”
И зато, тако да је жив Господ, који ме је утврдио и посадио ме на престолу Давида оца мог, и који ми је начинио кућу као што је рекао, данас ће погинути Адонија.
25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who put him to death, and so he died.
И посла цар Соломун Венају, сина Јодајевог, који уложи на њ, те погибе.
26 Also, the king said to Abiathar, the priest: “Go into Anathoth, to your own land, for you are a man worthy of death. But I will not put you to death this day, since you carried the ark of the Lord God before David, my father, and since you have endured hardship in all the things, for which my father labored.”
А Авијатару свештенику рече цар: Иди у Анатот на њиву своју, јер си заслужио смрт, али те нећу данас погубити, јер си носио ковчег Господњи пред Давидом оцем мојим и подносио си све невоље које је подносио отац мој.
27 Therefore, Solomon cast out Abiathar, so that he would not be the priest of the Lord, so that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke over the house of Eli at Shiloh.
Тако Соломун сврже Авијатара да не буде свештеник Господњи, да испуни реч Господњу што рече у Силому за дом Илијев.
28 And the news came to Joab, for Joab had turned aside after Adonijah, and he had not turned aside after Solomon. And so, Joab fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and he took hold of the horn of the altar.
И овај глас дође до Јоава; а Јоав беше пристао за Адонијом, премда за Авесаломом не беше пристао; и утече Јоав у шатор Господњи и ухвати се за рогове олтару.
29 And it was reported to king Solomon that Joab had fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and that he was beside the altar. And Solomon sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, put him to death.”
И јавише цару Соломуну: Јоав утече у шатор Господњи, и ено га код олтара. А Соломун посла Венају сина Јодајевог говорећи: Иди, уложи на њ.
30 And Benaiah went to the tabernacle of the Lord, and he said to him: “The king says this: ‘Come out.’” But he said: “I will not come out. Instead, I will die here.” Benaiah sent word back to the king, saying, “Joab said this, and he responded to me in this way.”
И ушавши Венаја у шатор Господњи рече му: Цар је казао: Изиђи. А он рече: Нећу; него овде хоћу да умрем. А Венаја јави цару говорећи: Тако рече Јоав и тако ми одговори.
31 And the king said to him, “Do just as he has said. And put him to death, and bury him. And so shall you take away the innocent blood, which was shed by Joab, from me and from my father’s house.
А цар му рече: Учини како је рекао, уложи на њ, и погреби га, и скини с мене и с дома оца мог крв праву коју је пролио Јоав.
32 And the Lord shall repay his blood upon his own head. For he killed two men, just and better than himself, and he killed them with the sword, while my father, David, did not know it: Abner, the son of Ner, leader of the military of Israel, and Amasa, the son of Jether, leader of the army of Judah.
И нека Господ обрати крв његову на његову главу, што уложи на два човека праведнија и боља од себе, и уби их мачем без знања оца мог Давида: Авенира сина Нировог војводу Израиљевог и Амасу сина Јетеровог војводу Јудиног;
33 And their blood shall be turned back upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his offspring forever. But as for David, and his offspring and house, and his throne, may there be peace from the Lord, even unto eternity.”
Нека се дакле крв њихова врати на главу Јоавову и на главу семена његовог довека; а Давиду и семену његовом и дому његовом и престолу његовом нека буде мир довека од Господа.
34 And so Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, went up and, attacking him, put him to death. And he was buried in his own house in the desert.
И отиде Венаја, син Јодајев, и уложи на њ и погуби га, и би погребен код куће своје у пустињи.
35 And the king appointed Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, in his place over the army. And he appointed Zadok, the priest, in place of Abiathar.
Тада постави цар Венају, сина Јодајевог, на његово место над војском, а Садока свештеника постави цар на место Авијатарово.
36 Also, the king sent for and summoned Shimei, and he said to him: “Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem, and live there. And do not depart from that place to here or to there.
Потом посла цар и дозва Симеја, и рече му: Сагради себи кућу у Јерусалиму, па ту седи, и не излази одатле никуда.
37 For on whatever day you will have departed and crossed the torrent Kidron, know that you shall be put to death. Your blood will be upon your own head.”
Јер у који дан изиђеш и пређеш преко потока Кедрона, знај зацело да ћеш погинути, и крв ће твоја пасти на твоју главу.
38 And Shimei said to the king: “The word is good. Just as my lord the king has said, so will your servant do.” And so Shimei lived in Jerusalem for many days.
А Симеј рече цару: Добра је та реч; како је рекао господар мој цар, тако ће учинити слуга твој. И седе Симеј у Јерусалиму дуго времена.
39 But it happened that, after three years, the servants of Shimei fled to Achish, the son of Maacah, the king of Gath. And it was reported to Shimei that his servants had gone away to Gath.
Али се догоди после три године, те утекоше две слуге Симејеве к Ахису, сину Машином цару гатском. И би јављено Симеју: Ено ти слугу у Гату.
40 And Shimei rose up, and he saddled his donkey. And went away to Achish in Gath, in order to seek his servants. And he led them away from Gath.
Тада уста Симеј, и осамари свог магарца, и отиде у Гат к Ахису да тражи слуге своје. И врати се Симеј, и доведе натраг слуге своје из Гата.
41 And it was reported to Solomon that Shimei had gone away from Jerusalem to Gath, and had returned.
И јавише Соломуну да је Симеј био отишао из Јерусалима у Гат, и да се вратио.
42 And sending, he summoned him, and he said to him: “Did I not testify to you by the Lord, and warn you in advance, ‘On whatever day, having departed, you go forth to here or to there, know that you shall die?’ And you responded to me, ‘The word that I have heard is good.’
Тада цар пославши дозва Симеја, и рече му: Нисам ли те заклео Господом и нисам ли ти тврдо рекао: У који дан изиђеш куда му драго, знај зацело да ћеш погинути? И ти ми рече: Добра је та реч коју чух.
43 Then why have you not kept the oath to the Lord, and the commandment which I instructed to you?”
Зашто, дакле, ниси држао заклетву Господњу и заповест коју сам ти заповедио?
44 And the king said to Shimei: “You know all the evil, of which your heart is conscious, which you did to David, my father. The Lord has repaid your wickedness upon your own head.”
Потом рече цар Симеју: Ти знаш све зло за које зна срце твоје, шта си учинио Давиду оцу мом; Господ враћа твоје зло на твоју главу.
45 And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord, even forever.
А цар ће Соломун бити благословен и престо Давидов утврђен пред Господом до века.
46 And so the king commanded Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada. And going out, he struck him down, and he died.
И заповеди цар Венаји сину Јодајевом, те изиђе и уложи на њ, те погибе. И царство се утврди у руци Соломуновој.
