2 Samuel 16
1 And when David had passed a little beyond the top of the mountain, Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth, appeared to meet him, with two donkeys, which were burdened with two hundred loaves, and one hundred bunches of dried grapes, and one hundred masses of dried figs, and a skin of wine.
A kad David prijeðe malo preko vrha, gle, Siva, momak Mefivostejev, srete ga, sa dva magarca natovarena, na kojima bješe dvjesta hljebova i sto grozdova suhih i sto gruda smokava i mijeh vina.
2 And the king said to Ziba, “What do you intend to do with these things?” And Ziba responded: “The donkeys are for the household of the king, so that they may sit. And the loaves and dried figs are for your servants to eat. But the wine is for anyone to drink who may be faint in the desert.”
I reèe car Sivi: šta æe ti to? A Siva mu reèe: magarci su za èeljad carevu, da jašu, a hljebovi i voæe da jedu momci, a vino da pije ko se umori u pustinji.
3 And the king said, “Where is the son of your lord?” And Ziba answered the king: “He remained in Jerusalem, saying, ‘Today, the house of Israel will restore the kingdom of my father to me.’”
A car mu reèe: a gdje je sin tvoga gospodara? Reèe Siva caru: eno ga, ostao je u Jerusalimu, jer reèe: danas æe mi dom Izrailjev vratiti carstvo oca mojega.
4 And the king said to Ziba, “All the things which were for Mephibosheth are now yours.” And Ziba said, “I beg you that I may find grace before you, my lord the king.”
Tada reèe car Sivi: evo, tvoje je sve što je bilo Mefivostejevo. A Siva reèe: klanjam ti se, da naðem milost pred tobom, care gospodaru!
5 Then king David went as far as Bahurim. And behold, a man from the kindred of the house of Saul, named Shimei, the son of Gera, went out from there. And going out, he continued on, and he was cursing,
I doðe car David do Vaurima; a gle, izide odande jedan od roda doma Saulova, po imenu Simej, sin Girin, i iduæi psovaše.
6 and throwing stones against David and against all the servants of king David. And all the people and all the warriors were traveling to the right and to the left sides of the king.
I bacaše se kamenjem na Davida i na sluge cara Davida, kojemu i s desne i s lijeve strane bijaše sav narod i svi junaci.
7 And so, as he was cursing the king, Shimei said: “Go away, go away, you man of blood, and you man of Belial!
A Simej ovako govoraše psujuæi: odlazi, odlazi, krvopijo i zlikovèe!
8 The Lord has repaid you for all the blood of the house of Saul. For you have usurped the kingdom in place of him. And so, the Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of Absalom, your son. And behold, your evils press close upon you, because you are a man of blood.”
Obrati Gospod na tebe sve krvi doma Saulova, na èije si se mjesto zacario, i predade Gospod carstvo u ruke Avesalomu sinu tvojemu; eto te sada u tvom zlu, jer si krvopija.
9 Then Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said to the king: “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go and cut off his head.”
Tada reèe caru Avisaj sin Serujin: zašto da psuje ovaj mrtvi pas cara gospodara mojega? Idem da mu skinem glavu.
10 And the king said: “What is it to me and to all of you, O sons of Zeruiah? Permit him, so that he may curse. For the Lord has commanded him to curse David. And who is the one who would dare to say, ‘Why has he done so?’”
Ali car reèe: šta je vama do mene, sinovi Serujini? neka psuje; jer mu je Gospod rekao: psuj Davida. Pa ko smije kazati: zašto tako èiniš?
11 And the king said to Abishai and to all his servants: “Behold, my son, who went forth from my loins, is seeking my life. How much more does a son of Benjamin do so now? Permit him, so that he may curse, in accord with the command of the Lord.
Još reèe David Avisaju i svijem slugama svojim: eto, moj sin, koji je izašao od bedara mojih, traži dušu moju, a kako neæe ovaj sin Venijaminov? Ostavite ga neka psuje, jer mu je Gospod zapovjedio.
12 Perhaps the Lord may look with favor upon my affliction, and the Lord may repay me good, in place of the cursing of this day.”
Da ako Gospod pogleda na nevolju moju, i vrati mi Gospod dobro za psovku njegovu današnju.
13 And so, David continued walking along the way, and his associates with him. But Shimei was advancing along the ridge of the mountain on the side opposite him, cursing and throwing stones at him, and scattering dirt.
I tako David sa svojim ljudima iðaše svojim putem; a Simej iðaše pokraj gore prema njemu jednako psujuæi i bacajuæi se kamenjem na nj, i podižuæi prah.
14 And the king and the entire people with him, being weary, went and refreshed themselves there.
I doðe car i sav narod što bijaše s njim, umorni, i odmoriše se ondje.
15 But Absalom and all his people entered into Jerusalem. Moreover, Ahithophel was with him.
A Avesalom i sav narod Izrailjev doðoše u Jerusalim, i Ahitofel s njim.
16 And when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, had gone to Absalom, he said to him: “May you be well, O king! May you be well, O king!”
A kad Husaj Arhijanin prijatelj Davidov doðe k Avesalomu, reèe Husaj Avesalomu: da živi car! da živi car!
17 And Absalom said to him: “Is this your kindness to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?”
A Avesalom reèe Husaju: taka li je ljubav tvoja prema prijatelju tvojemu? zašto nijesi otišao s prijateljem svojim?
18 And Hushai responded to Absalom: “By no means! For I will be his, whom the Lord has chosen. And I, and all this people, and all of Israel, will remain with him.
A Husaj reèe Avesalomu: ne; nego koga je izabrao Gospod i ovaj narod i svi Izrailjci, njegov æu biti i kod njega æu ostati.
19 But then too, I declare this: whom should I serve? Is it not the son of the king? Just as I have been subject to your father, so will I be subject to you also.”
Svrh toga, kome bih služio? eda li ne sinu njegovu? kako sam služio ocu tvojemu, tako æu i tebi.
20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Present a counsel as to what we ought to do.”
A Avesalom reèe Ahitofelu: svjetuj šta æemo èiniti.
21 And Ahithophel said to Absalom: “Enter to the concubines of your father, whom he left behind in order to care for the house. Thus, when all of Israel will hear that you disgraced your father, their hands may be strengthened with you.”
A Ahitofel reèe Avesalomu: lezi s inoèama oca svojega, koje je ostavio da mu èuvaju kuæu, pa kad èuje sav Izrailj kako si se omrazio s ocem svojim, osiliæe ruka svjema koji su s tobom.
22 Therefore, they spread a tent for Absalom on the rooftop. And he entered to the concubines of his father in the sight of all Israel.
Tada razapeše Avesalomu šator na krovu, i Avesalom leže s inoèama oca svojega na vidiku svjemu Izrailju.
23 Now the counsel of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was treated as if one were consulting God. So was every counsel of Ahithophel, both when he was with David, and when he was with Absalom.
I svjet koji davaše Ahitofel u ono vrijeme bijaše kao da bi ko Boga upitao; taki bijaše svaki svjet Ahitofelov i u Davida i u Avesaloma.
