2 Samuel 15
1 Now after these things Absalom made himself chariots, and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
Pripetilo se je po tem, da si je Absalom pripravil vozove, konje in petdeset mož, da so tekli pred njim.
2 And Absalom rising up early stood by the entrance of the gate, and when any man had business to come to the king’s judgment, Absalom called him to him, and said: Of what city art thou? He answered, and said: Thy servant is of such a tribe of Israel.
Absalom je vstajal zgodaj in stal poleg poti velikih vrat in to je bilo tako, da ko je katerikoli človek imel polemiko, je prišel h kralju za sodbo, potem mu je Absalom zaklical in rekel: »Iz katerega mesta si?« In ta je rekel: »Tvoj služabnik je iz enega izmed Izraelovih rodov.«
3 And Absalom answered him: Thy words seem to me good and just. But there is no man appointed by the king to hear thee. And Absalom said:
Absalom mu je rekel: »Poglej, tvoje zadeve so dobre in pravilne; toda tam ni nobenega človeka, poslanega od kralja, da te sliši.«
4 O that they would make me judge over the land, that all that have business might come to me, that I might do them justice.
Poleg tega je Absalom rekel: »Oh da bi mene postavili za sodnika v deželi, da bi vsak človek, ki ima kakršnokoli tožbo ali zadevo, lahko prišel k meni in bi mu jaz storil pravico!«
5 Moreover when any man came to him to salute him, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.
In to je bilo tako, da ko je katerikoli moški prišel blizu k njemu, da se mu globoko prikloni, je svojo roko iztegnil naprej, ga prijel in ga poljubil.
6 And this he did to all Israel that came for judgment, to be heard by the king, and he enticed the hearts of the men of Israel.
Na ta način je Absalom počel vsemu Izraelu, ki so hodili h kralju po sodbo. Tako je Absalom kradel srca Izraelovih mož.
7 And after forty years, Absalom said to king David: Let me go, and pay my vows which I have vowed to the Lord in Hebron.
Pripetilo se je po štiridesetih letih, da je Absalom rekel kralju: »Prosim te, naj grem in izpolnim svojo zaobljubo, ki sem jo zaobljubil Gospodu v Hebrónu.
8 For thy servant made avow, when he was in Gessur of Syria, saying: If the Lord shall bring me again into Jerusalem I will offer sacrifice to the Lord.
Kajti tvoj služabnik se je zaobljubil, medtem ko je prebival pri Gešurju v Siriji, rekoč: ›Če me bo Gospod zares ponovno privedel v Jeruzalem, potem bom služil Gospodu.‹«
9 And king David said to him: Go in peace. And he arose, and went to Hebron.
Kralj mu je rekel: »Pojdi v miru.« Tako je vstal in odšel v Hebrón.
10 And Absalom sent spies into all the tribes of Israel, saying: As soon as you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, say ye: Absalom reigneth in Hebron.
Toda Absalom je poslal oglednike po vseh Izraelovih rodovih, rekoč: »Takoj ko zaslišite zvok šofarja, potem boste rekli: ›Absalom kraljuje v Hebrónu.‹«
11 Now there went with Absalom two hundred men out of Jerusalem that were called, going with simplicity of heart, and knowing nothing of the design.
Z Absalomom je iz Jeruzalema odšlo dvesto mož, ki so bili poklicani. Odšli pa so v svoji toposti in niso vedeli nobene stvari.
12 Absalom also sent for Achitophel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor, from his city Gilo. And while he was offering sacrifices, there was a strong conspiracy, and the people running together increased with Absalom.
Absalom je poslal po Gilčana Ahitófela, Davidovega svetovalca, iz njegovega mesta, torej iz Gila, medtem ko je daroval klavne daritve. In zarota je bila močna, kajti ljudstvo je nenehno naraščalo z Absalomom.
13 And there came a messenger to David, saying: All Israel with their whole heart followeth Absalom.
K Davidu je prišel poslanec, rekoč: »Srca Izraelovih mož sledijo Absalomu.«
14 And David said to his servants, that were with him in Jerusalem: Arise and let us flee: for we shall not escape else from the face of Absalom: make haste to go out, lest he come and overtake us, and bring ruin upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
David je rekel vsem svojim služabnikom, ki so bili z njim pri Jeruzalemu: »Vstanimo in pobegnimo, kajti sicer ne bomo pobegnili pred Absalomom. Pohitimo, da nas ne bi nenadoma dohitel in nad nas privedel zla in mesto udaril z ostrino meča.«
15 And the king’s servants said to him: Whatsoever our lord the king shall command, we thy servants will willingly execute.
Kraljevi služabniki so rekli kralju: »Glej, tvoji služabniki so pripravljeni storiti, karkoli bo moj gospod kralj določil.«
16 And the king went forth, and all his household on foot: and the king left ten women his concubines to keep the house:
Kralj je odšel naprej in vsa njegova družina za njim. Kralj pa je pustil deset žensk, ki so bile priležnice, da varujejo hišo.
17 And the king going forth and all Israel on foot, stood afar off from the house:
Kralj je odšel naprej in vse ljudstvo za njim in se mudil na kraju, ki je bil daleč proč.
18 And all his servants walked by him, and the bands of the Cerethi, and the Phelethi, and all the Gethites, valiant warriors, six hundred men who had followed him from Geth on foot, went before the king.
Vsi njegovi služabniki so šli poleg njega in vsi Keretéjci in vsi Péletovci in vsi Gitéjci, šeststo mož, ki so prišli za njim iz Gata, so prečkali pred kraljem.
19 And the king said to Ethai the Gethite: Why comest thou with us? return and dwell with the king, for thou art a stranger, and art come out of thy own place.
Potem je kralj rekel Gitéjcu Itáju: »Čemu greš tudi ti z nami? Vrni se na svoj kraj in prebivaj s kraljem, kajti tujec si in tudi izgnanec.
20 Yesterday thou camest, and today shalt thou be forced to go forth with us? but I shall go whither I am going: return thou, and take back thy brethren with thee, and the Lord will shew thee mercy, and truth, because thou hast shewn grace and fidelity.
Glede na to, da si prišel šele včeraj, ali naj te ta dan pripravim hoditi z nami gor in dol? Ker grem, kamor lahko, se vrni in svoje brate vzemi nazaj. Usmiljenje in resnica naj bosta s teboj.«
21 And Ethai answered the king, saying: As the Lord liveth, and as my lord the king liveth: in what place soever thou shalt be, my lord, O king, either in death, or in life, there will thy servant be.
Itáj je odgovoril kralju in rekel: » Kakor živi Gospod in kakor živi moj gospod kralj, zagotovo, na kateremkoli kraju bo moj gospod kralj, bodisi v smrti ali življenju, celo tam bo tudi tvoj služabnik.«
22 And David said to Ethai: Come, and pass over. And Ethai the Gethite passed, and all the men that were with him, and the rest of the people.
David je rekel Itáju: »Pojdi in prečkaj.« Gitéjec Itáj je šel čez in vsi njegovi možje in vsi malčki, ki so bili z njim.
23 And they all wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself went over the brook Cedron, and all the people marched towards the way that looketh to the desert.
In vsa dežela je jokala z močnim glasom in vse ljudstvo je šlo čez. Tudi sam kralj je šel čez potok Kidron in vse ljudstvo je šlo čez, proti poti divjine.
24 And Sadoc the priest also came, and all the Levites with him carrying the ark of the covenant of God, and they set down the ark of God: and Abiathar went up, till all the people that was come out of the city had done passing.
Glej, tudi Cadók in vsi Lévijevci so bili z njim, nesoč skrinjo Božje zaveze in odložili so Božjo skrinjo. Abjatár je odšel gor, dokler ni vse ljudstvo šlo iz mesta.
25 And the king said to Sadoc: Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find grace in the sight of the Lord, he will bring me again, and he will shew me it, and his tabernacle.
Kralj je Cadóku rekel: »Božjo skrinjo odnesite nazaj v mesto. Če bom našel naklonjenost v Gospodovih očeh, me bo ponovno privedel in mi pokazal oboje, to in njeno prebivališče,
26 But if he shall say to me: Thou pleasest me not: I am ready, let him do that which is good before him.
toda če reče tako: ›Nimam veselja v tebi; ‹ glej, tukaj sem, naj mi stori, kakor se mu zdi dobro.«
27 And the king said to Sadoc the priest: O seer, return into the city in peace: and let Achimaas thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar, your two sons, be with you.
Kralj je tudi rekel duhovniku Cadóku: » Mar nisi ti videc? V miru se vrni v mesto in tvoja dva sinova s teboj, tvoj sin Ahimáac in Jonatan, Abjatárjev sin.
28 Behold I will lie hid in the plains of the wilderness, till there come word from you to certify me.
Glejte, mudil se bom na ravnini divjine, dokler ne bo prišla od vas beseda, da me potrdite.«
29 So Sadoc and Abiathar carried back the ark of God into Jerusalem: and they tarried there.
Torej Cadók in Abjatár sta Božjo skrinjo ponovno odnesla v Jeruzalem in ostala sta tam.
30 But David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, going up and weeping, walking barefoot, and with his head covered, and all the people that were with them, went up with their heads covered weeping.
David je odšel gor po pobočju Oljske gore in jokal, ko se je vzpenjal in svojo glavo je imel pokrito in hodil je bos. Vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, je vsak pokril svojo glavo in hodili so gor in jokali, medtem ko so hodili gor.
31 And it was told David that Achitophel also was in the conspiracy with Absalom, and David said: Infatuate, O Lord, I beseech thee, the counsel of Achitophel.
In nekdo je povedal Davidu, rekoč: »Ahitófel je z Absalomom med zarotniki.« David je rekel: »Oh Gospod, prosim te, obrni Ahitófelov nasvet v norost.«
32 And when David was come to the top of the mountain, where he was about to adore the Lord, behold Chusai the Arachite, came to meet him with his garment rent and his head covered with earth.
Pripetilo se je, da ko je David prišel na vrh gore, kjer je oboževal Boga, glej, je prišel Arkéjec Hušáj, da ga sreča, s svojim pretrganim plaščem in zemljo na svoji glavi,
33 And David said to him: If thou come with me, thou wilt be a burden to me:
ki mu je David rekel: »Če greš z menoj naprej, potem mi boš v breme,
34 But if thou return into the city, and wilt say to Absalom: I am thy servant, O king: as I have been thy father’s servant, so I will be thy servant: thou shalt defeat the counsel of Achitophel.
toda če se vrneš k mestu in rečeš Absalomu: ›Jaz bom tvoj služabnik, oh kralj, kakor sem bil doslej služabnik tvojega očeta, tako bom sedaj tudi tvoj služabnik, ‹ potem boš lahko zame premagal Ahitófelov nasvet.
35 And thou hast with thee Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests: and what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king’s house, thou shalt tell it to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests.
In ali nisi tam z duhovnikoma Cadókom in Abjatárjem? Zato naj bo, da kakršnokoli stvar boš slišal iz kraljeve hiše, boš to povedal duhovnikoma Cadóku in Abjatárju.
36 And there are with them their two sons Achimaas the son of Sadoc, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar: and you shall send by them to me every thing that you shall hear.
Glej, onadva imata tam s seboj svoja dva sinova, Cadókovega sina Ahimáaca in Abjatárjevega sina Jonatana. Po njima boste poslali k meni vsako stvar, ki jo lahko slišite.«
37 Then Chusai the friend of David went into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
Tako je Davidov prijatelj Hušáj prišel v mesto in Absalom je prišel v Jeruzalem.
