< 1 Kings 2 >
1 And the days of David were at hand that he should die; and he enjoined Solomon his son saying,
Torej Davidovi dnevi so se približali, da naj bi umrl in svojemu sinu Salomonu je naročil, rekoč:
2 I go the way of all the earth: be of good courage therefore, and be a man;
»Jaz grem pot vse zemlje. Bodi torej močan in se izkaži moža
3 and keep the charge of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest and whithersoever thou turnest thyself;
in ohrani naročilo Gospoda, svojega Boga, da hodiš po njegovih poteh, da ohranjaš njegove zakone, njegove zapovedi, njegove sodbe in njegova pričevanja, kakor je zapisano v Mojzesovi postavi, da boš lahko uspeval v vsem, kar delaš in kamorkoli se obrneš,
4 that Jehovah may confirm his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, If thy sons take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee, said he, a man upon the throne of Israel.
da bo Gospod lahko nadaljeval svojo besedo, ki jo je govoril glede mene, rekoč: ›Če tvoji otroci pazijo na svojo pot, da hodijo pred menoj v resnici, z vsem svojim srcem in z vso svojo dušo, tebi ne bo odrezan, ‹ je rekel, ›noben mož na Izraelovem prestolu.‹
5 And thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and upon his sandals that were on his feet.
Poleg tega tudi veš, kaj mi je storil Cerújin sin Joáb in kaj je storil dvema poveljnikoma Izraelove vojske, Nerovemu sinu Abnêrju in Jeterjevemu sinu Amasáju, ki ju je ubil in vojno kri prelil v miru in vojno kri položil na svoj pas, ki je bil okrog njegovih ledij in na njegove čevlje, ki so bili na njegovih stopalih.
6 And thou shalt do according to thy wisdom, and not let his hoar head go down to Sheol in peace. (Sheol )
Stori torej glede na svojo modrost in ne dopusti, da bi njegova osivela glava šla v miru dol v podzemlje. (Sheol )
7 But shew kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table; for so they came up to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother.
Toda izkazuj prijaznost sinovom Gileádca Barzilája in naj bodo izmed tistih, ki jedo pri tvoji mizi, kajti tako so prišli k meni, ko sem pobegnil zaradi tvojega brata Absaloma.
8 And behold, there is with thee Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjaminite of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day that I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by Jehovah saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.
Glej, s seboj imaš Šimíja, Gerájevega sina, Benjaminovca iz Bahuríma, ki me je preklinjal z bolečim prekletstvom na dan, ko sem odšel v Mahanájim, toda prišel je dol, da me sreča pri Jordanu in prisegel sem mu pri Gospodu, rekoč: ›Ne bom te usmrtil z mečem.‹
9 And now hold him not guiltless; for thou art a wise man, and thou shalt know what thou oughtest to do to him; but bring his hoar head down to Sheol with blood. (Sheol )
Zdaj ga torej ne imej brez krivde, kajti moder človek si in veš, kaj mu moraš storiti, temveč njegovo osivelo glavo s krvjo privedi dol k podzemlju.« (Sheol )
10 And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
Tako je David zaspal s svojimi očeti in bil pokopan v Davidovem mestu.
11 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
Dni, ko je David kraljeval nad Izraelom, je bilo štirideset let. Sedem let je kraljeval v Hebrónu, triintrideset let pa je kraljeval v Jeruzalemu.
12 And Solomon sat on the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.
Potem se je Salomon usedel na prestol svojega očeta Davida in njegovo kraljestvo je bilo silno utrjeno.
13 And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.
Hagítin sin Adoníja je prišel k Salomonovi materi Batšébi. Rekla je: »Prihajaš miroljubno?« Rekel je: »Miroljubno.«
14 And he said, I have something to say to thee. And she said, Speak.
Poleg tega je rekel: »Nekaj ti imam povedati.« Rekla je: »Povej.«
15 And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had set their faces on me that I should reign; but the kingdom is turned about and is become my brother's, for it was his from Jehovah.
Rekel je: »Veš, da je bilo kraljestvo moje in da je ves Izrael svoje obraze naravnal name, da naj bi jaz kraljeval, vendar se je kraljestvo zaobrnilo in postalo bratovo, kajti njegovo je bilo od Gospoda.
16 And now I ask one petition of thee; refuse me not. And she said to him, Speak.
Sedaj od tebe prosim eno prošnjo, ne zavrni me.« Rekla mu je: »Povej.«
17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, to Solomon the king — for he will not refuse thee — that he give me Abishag the Shunammite as wife.
Rekel je: »Spregovori, prosim te, kralju Salomonu (kajti ne bo ti rekel ne), da mi da za ženo Šunémko Abišágo.«
18 And Bathsheba said, Well, I will speak for thee to the king.
Batšéba je rekla: »Dobro, zate bom govorila kralju.«
19 And Bathsheba went to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself to her, and sat down on his throne; and he caused a throne to be set for the king's mother, and she sat on his right hand.
Batšéba je torej šla h kralju Salomonu, da mu govori za Adoníja. Kralj je vstal, da jo sreča in se ji priklonil, se usedel na svoj prestol in dal postaviti sedež za kraljevo mater in usedla se je na njegovo desnico.
20 Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; refuse me not. And the king said to her, Ask, my mother, for I will not refuse thee.
Potem je rekla: »Od tebe želim eno majhno prošnjo, prosim te, ne reci mi ne.« Kralj ji je rekel: »Vprašaj, moja mati, kajti jaz ti ne bom rekel ne.«
21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother as wife.
Rekla je: »Naj bo Šunémka Abišága dana tvojemu bratu Adoníju za ženo.«
22 And king Solomon answered and said to his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.
Kralj Salomon je odgovoril svoji materi in rekel: »Zakaj prosiš za Adoníja Šunémko Abišágo? Prosi zanj tudi kraljestvo, kajti on je moj starejši brat; celo zanj in za duhovnika Abjatárja in za Cerújinega sina Joába.«
23 And king Solomon swore by Jehovah saying, God do so to me, and more also, — Adonijah has spoken this word against his own life!
Potem je kralj Salomon prisegel pri Gospodu, rekoč: »Bog naj mi tako stori in še več, če ni Adoníja te besede spregovoril zoper svoje lastno življenje.
24 And now [as] Jehovah liveth, who has established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.
Zdaj torej kakor živi Gospod, ki me je utrdil in me postavil na prestol mojega očeta Davida in ki mi je naredil hišo, kakor je obljubil, bo ta dan Adoníja usmrčen.«
25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; who fell on him, that he died.
Kralj Salomon je poslal po roko Jojadájevega sina Benajá in ta je padel nanj, da je umrl.
26 And the king said to Abiathar the priest, Go to Anathoth, to thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death; but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst bear the ark of Adonai Jehovah before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
Duhovniku Abjatárju pa je kralj rekel: »Pojdi v Anatót, k svojim lastnim poljem, kajti vreden si smrti, toda tokrat te ne bom usmrtil, ker pred mojim očetom Davidom nosiš skrinjo Gospoda Boga in ker si bil prizadet v vsem, s čimer je bil prizadet moj oče.«
27 And Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest to Jehovah, to fulfil the word of Jehovah, which he had spoken concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
Tako je Salomon vrgel ven Abjatárja, da ne bi bil duhovnik Gospodu, da je lahko izpolnil Gospodovo besedo, ki jo je govoril glede Élijeve hiše v Šilu.
28 And the report came to Joab (for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he had not turned after Absalom); and Joab fled to the tent of Jehovah, and caught hold of the horns of the altar.
Potem so do Joába prišle novice, kajti Joáb se je obrnil za Adoníjem, čeprav se ni obrnil za Absalomom. Joáb je pobegnil h Gospodovemu šotorskemu svetišču in se oprijel oltarnih rogov.
29 And it was told king Solomon that Joab had fled to the tent of Jehovah; and behold, he is by the altar. And Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall on him.
To je bilo povedano kralju Salomonu, da je Joáb pobegnil v Gospodovo šotorsko svetišče in glej, pri oltarju je. Potem je Salomon poslal Jojadájevega sina Benajá, rekoč: »Pojdi, padi nanj.«
30 And Benaiah came to the tent of Jehovah and said to him, Thus saith the king: Come forth. And he said, No; for I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.
Benajá je prišel v Gospodovo šotorsko svetišče ter mu rekel: »Tako govori kralj: ›Pridi naprej.‹« Rekel je: »Ne, temveč bom tukaj umrl.« Benajá je kralju ponovno prinesel besedo, rekoč: »Tako je rekel Joáb in tako mi je odgovoril.«
31 And the king said to him, Do as he has said, and fall upon him, and bury him; and take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me and from the house of my father.
Kralj mu je rekel: »Stôri, kakor je rekel, padi nanj in ga pokoplji, da boš lahko od mene in od hiše mojega očeta odvzel nedolžno kri, ki jo je prelil Joáb.
32 And Jehovah shall requite the blood which he shed upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, without my father David's knowledge: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.
Gospod bo njegovo kri povrnil na njegovo lastno glavo, ker je padel na dva moža, pravičnejša in boljša kakor on in ju umoril z mečem, moj oče David pa ni vedel o tem, namreč Nerovega sina Abnêrja, poveljnika Izraelove vojske in Jeterjevega sina Amasája, poveljnika Judove vojske.
33 And their blood shall be requited upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever; but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from Jehovah.
Njuna kri se bo torej povrnila na Joábovo glavo in na glavo njegovega semena na veke, toda nad Davidom, nad njegovim semenom, nad njegovo hišo in nad njegovim prestolom bo mir na veke od Gospoda.«
34 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and fell upon him, and put him to death; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
Tako je Jojadájev sin Benajá odšel gor, padel nanj, ga usmrtil in pokopan je bil v svoji lastni hiši v divjini.
35 And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his stead over the host; and Zadok the priest the king put in the stead of Abiathar.
Na njegovo mesto, čez vojsko, je kralj postavil Jojadájevega sina Benajá, na Abjatárjevo mesto pa je kralj postavil duhovnika Cadóka.
36 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and abide there, and go not forth thence anywhere.
Kralj je poslal in poklical Šimíja ter mu rekel: »Zgradi si hišo v Jeruzalemu in tam prebivaj in ne hodi kamorkoli od tam.
37 And it shall be that on the day thou goest forth, and passest over the torrent of Kidron, ...know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.
Kajti tako bo, da na dan, ko pojdeš ven in preideš potok Kidron, boš zagotovo vedel, da boš zagotovo umrl. Tvoja kri bo na tvoji lastni glavi.«
38 And Shimei said to the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king has said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
Šimí je rekel kralju: »Ta beseda je dobra, kakor je rekel moj gospod kralj, tako bo tvoj služabnik storil.« In Šimí je mnogo dni prebival v Jeruzalemu.
39 And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two servants of Shimei's ran away to Achish son of Maachah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei saying, Behold, thy servants are in Gath.
Pripetilo pa se je ob koncu treh let, da sta dva izmed Šimíjevih služabnikov pobegnila k Maahájevemu sinu Ahíšu, kralju iz Gata. Šimíju so povedali, rekoč: »Glej, tvoja služabnika sta v Gatu.«
40 Then Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath, to Achish, to seek his servants; and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.
Šimí je vstal, osedlal svojega osla in šel v Gat, k Ahíšu, da poišče svoja služabnika. Šimí je odšel in svoja služabnika privedel iz Gata.
41 And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had come again.
To je bilo povedano Salomonu, da je Šimí iz Jeruzalema odšel v Gat in ponovno prišel nazaj.
42 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not make thee swear by Jehovah, and protest to thee, saying, Know for certain, that on the day thou goest forth, and walkest abroad anywhere, thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst to me, The word that I have heard is good.
Kralj je poslal in dal poklicati Šimíja ter mu rekel: »Mar te nisem primoral, da prisežeš pri Gospodu in ti izpričal, rekoč: ›Zagotovo vedi, na dan, ko greš ven in hodiš kakorkoli naokoli, da boš zagotovo umrl?‹ In rekel si mi: ›Beseda, ki sem jo slišal, je dobra.‹
43 Why then hast thou not kept the oath of Jehovah, and the commandment that I charged thee with?
Zakaj se potem nisi držal Gospodove prisege in zapovedi, ki sem ti jo naročil?«
44 And the king said to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness of which thy heart is conscious, which thou didst to David my father; and Jehovah returns thy wickedness upon thine own head;
Kralj je poleg tega Šimíju rekel: »Ti poznaš vso zlobnost, ki je znana tvojemu srcu, ki si jo storil mojemu očetu Davidu, zato bo Gospod tvojo zlobnost povrnil na tvojo lastno glavo
45 and king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before Jehovah for ever.
in kralj Salomon bo blagoslovljen in Davidov prestol bo pred Gospodom utrjen na veke.«
46 And the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; who went out and fell upon him, and he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
Tako je kralj zapovedal Jojadájevemu sinu Benajáju, ki je odšel ven in padel nanj, da je ta umrl. In kraljestvo je bilo utrjeno v Salomonovi roki.
