2 Samuel 14
1 Then Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah perceyued, that the Kings heart was toward Absalom,
Torej Cerújin sin Joáb je zaznal, da je bilo kraljevo srce [nagnjeno] k Absalomu.
2 And Ioab sent to Tekoah, and brought thence a subtile woman, and sayd vnto her, I pray thee, fayne thy selfe to mourne, and nowe put on mourning apparel, and anoynt not thy selfe with oyle: but be as a woman that had now long time mourned for the dead.
Joáb je poslal v Tekóo in od tam privedel modro žensko ter ji rekel: »Prosim te, hlini se, da si žalovalka in sedaj si nadeni žalovalno obleko in se ne mazili z oljem, temveč bodi kakor ženska, ki je dolgo časa žalovala za mrtvim
3 And come to the King, and speake on this maner vnto him, (for Ioab taught her what she should say).
in pojdi h kralju in mu govori na ta način.« Tako je Joáb položil besede v njena usta.
4 Then the woman of Tekoah spake vnto the king, and fel downe on her face to the ground, and did obeysance, and sayd, Helpe, O King.
Ko je ženska iz Tekóe govorila kralju, je padla na svoj obraz do tal in se globoko priklonila ter rekla: »Pomagaj, oh kralj.«
5 Then the King sayd vnto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, I am in deede a widow, and mine husband is dead:
Kralj ji je rekel: »Kaj te pesti?« Odgovorila je: »Res sem vdova in moj soprog je mrtev.
6 And thine handmayd had two sonnes, and they two stroue together in the fielde: (and there was none to part them) so the one smote the other, and slew him.
Tvoja pomočnica je imela dva sinova in skupaj sta se prepirala na polju in tam ni bilo nobenega, da ju loči, temveč je eden udaril drugega in ga usmrtil.
7 And beholde, the whole familie is risen against thine handmayde, and they sayde, Deliuer him that smote his brother, that we may kill him for the soule of his brother whome hee slewe, that we may destroy the heire also: so they shall quenche my sparkle which is left, and shall not leaue to mine husband neither name nor posteritie vpon the earth.
Glej, celotna družina je vstala zoper tvojo pomočnico in rekli so: ›Izroči tega, ki je usmrtil svojega brata, da ga bomo lahko ubili za življenje njegovega brata, ki ga je usmrtil in tudi dediča bomo uničili.‹ Tako bodo pogasili moj ogorek, ki je ostal in mojemu soprogu ne bodo pustili niti imena niti ostanka na tej zemlji.«
8 And the King said vnto the woman, Go to thine house, and I wil giue a charge for thee.
Kralj je rekel ženski: »Pojdi k svoji hiši in glede tebe dal bom zadolžitev.«
9 Then the woman of Tekoah said vnto the King, My lord, O King, this trespas be on me, and on my fathers house, and the King and his throne be giltlesse.
Ženska iz Tekóe je rekla kralju: »Moj gospod, oh kralj, krivičnost bodi na meni in na hiši mojega očeta, kralj in njegov prestol pa naj bosta brez krivde.«
10 And the King sayde, Bring him to me that speaketh against thee, and he shall touche thee no more.
Kralj je rekel: »Kdorkoli ti karkoli reče, ga privedi k meni in ne bo se te več dotaknil.«
11 Then said she, I pray thee, let the King remember the Lord thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer many reuengers of blood to destroy, lest they slay my sonne. And he answered, As the Lord liueth, there shall not one heare of thy sonne fall to the earth.
Potem je rekla: »Prosim te, naj se kralj spomni Gospoda, svojega Boga, da ti nočeš trpeti, da krvni maščevalci še naprej uničujejo, da ne bi uničili mojega sina.« Rekel je: »Kakor Gospod živi niti en las tvojega sina ne bo padel k zemlji.«
12 Then the woman said, I pray thee, let thine handmayde speake a worde to my lord the King. And he sayd, Say on.
Potem je ženska rekla: »Naj tvoja pomočnica, prosim te, spregovori eno besedo mojemu gospodu kralju.« In ta je rekel: »Povej.«
13 Then the woman sayde, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? or why doeth the King, as one which is faultie, speake this thing, that he will not bring againe his banished?
Ženska je rekla: »Zakaj si potem mislil storiti takšno stvar zoper Božje ljudstvo? Kajti kralj govori to stvar kakor nekdo, ki je pomanjkljiv, v tem, da kralj ne privede ponovno domov svojega pregnanega.
14 For we must needes dye, and we are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered vp againe: neither doeth God spare any person, yet doeth he appoynt meanes, not to cast out from him, him that is expelled.
Kajti mi moramo umreti in smo kakor voda, razlita na tla, ki ne more biti ponovno zbrana niti Bog ne upošteva nobene osebe, vendar snuje način, da njegov pregnani ne bo izključen od njega.
15 Nowe therefore that I am come to speake of this thing vnto my lord the King, the cause is that the people haue made me afrayd: therefore thine handmayde sayd, Nowe will I speake vnto the King: it may be that the King will perfourme the request of his handmayde.
Zdaj torej, ko sem prišla, da o tej stvari govorim mojemu gospodu kralju, je to zato, ker me je ljudstvo prestrašilo. Tvoja pomočnica je rekla: ›Spregovorila bom torej kralju. Lahko se zgodi, da bo kralj izpolnil zahtevo svoje pomočnice.‹
16 For the King wil heare, to deliuer his handmayde out of the hande of the man that woulde destroy mee, and also my sonne from the inheritance of God.
Kajti kralj bo slišal, da svojo pomočnico osvobodi iz roke človeka, ki hoče skupaj uničiti tako mene in mojega sina iz Božje dediščine.
17 Therefore thine handmaid sayd, The word of my lord the King shall now be comfortable: for my lorde the King is euen as an Angel of God in hearing of good and bad: therefore the Lord thy God be with thee.
Potem je tvoja pomočnica rekla Gospodu: ›Beseda mojega gospoda kralja bo sedaj tolažilna, kajti kakor angel od Boga, tako je moj gospod kralj, da razlikuje dobro in slabo, zato bo Gospod, tvoj Bog, s teboj.‹«
18 Then the King answered, and said vnto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall aske thee. And the woman sayde, Let my lord the King now speake.
Potem je kralj ženski odgovoril in rekel: »Ne skrivaj pred menoj, prosim te, stvari, ki jo bom vprašal.« Ženska je rekla: »Naj moj gospod kralj sedaj spregovori.«
19 And the King said, Is not the hand of Ioab with thee in all this? Then the woman answered, and sayd, As thy soule liueth, my lord the King, I will not turne to the right hande nor to the left, from ought that my lorde the King hath spoken: for euen thy seruant Ioab bade mee, and he put all these wordes in the mouth of thine handmayde.
Kralj je rekel: » Mar ni v vsem tem s teboj Joábova roka?« Ženska je odgovorila ter rekla: » Kakor živi tvoja duša, moj gospod kralj, nihče se ne more izogniti ne na desno ne na levo od tega, kar je moj gospod kralj govoril, kajti tvoj služabnik Joáb mi je zaukazal in on je položil vse te besede v usta tvoje pomočnice,
20 For to the intent that I should chage the forme of speach, thy seruant Ioab hath done this thing: but my lord is wise according to the wisdome of an Angel of God to vnderstande all things that are in the earth.
da privleče na dan to obliko govora, je tvoj služabnik Joáb storil to stvar. In moj gospod je moder, glede na modrost Božjega angela, da ve vse stvari, ki so na zemlji.«
21 And the King sayde vnto Ioab, Beholde nowe, I haue done this thing: go then, and bring the yong man Absalom againe.
Kralj je rekel Joábu: »Glej torej, jaz sem storil to stvar, zato pojdi, ponovno privedi mladeniča Absaloma.«
22 And Ioab fell to the grounde on his face, and bowed himselfe, and thanked the King. Then Ioab sayde, This day thy seruant knoweth, that I haue found grace in thy sight, my lord the King, in that the King hath fulfilled the request of his seruant.
Joáb je padel k tlom, na svoj obraz, se upognil in zahvalil kralju in Joáb je rekel: »Danes tvoj služabnik vé, da sem našel milost v tvojem pogledu, moj gospod, oh kralj, v tem, da je kralj izpolnil zahtevo svojega služabnika.«
23 And Ioab arose, and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Ierusalem.
Tako je Joáb vstal in odšel v Gešur in Absaloma privedel v Jeruzalem.
24 And the King sayde, Let him turne to his owne house, and not see my face. So Absalom turned to his owne house, and saw not the Kings face.
Kralj je rekel: »Naj se obrne k svoji lastni hiši in naj ne vidi mojega obraza.« Tako se je Absalom vrnil k svoji lastni hiši in ni videl kraljevega obraza.
25 Nowe in all Israel there was none to be so much praysed for beautie as Absalom: from the sole of his foote euen to the toppe of his head there was no blemish in him.
Toda v vsem Izraelu ni bilo nikogar, da bi bil tako zelo hvaljen zaradi svoje lepote kakor Absalom. Od podplata svojega stopala, celo do krone njegove glave, ni bilo na njem nobenega madeža.
26 And when he polled his head, (for at euery yeeres ende he polled it: because it was too heauie for him, therefore he polled it) he weyghed the heare of his head at two hundreth shekels by the Kings weight.
In ko je ostrigel svojo glavo (kajti ob koncu vsakega leta si jo je ostrigel, ker so bili lasje na njem težki, zato jo je ostrigel) si je stehtal lase svoje glave, dvesto šeklov po kraljevi teži.
27 And Absalom had three sonnes, and one daughter named Tamar, which was a fayre woman to looke vpon.
Absalomu so se tam rodili trije sinovi in ena hči, ki ji je bilo ime Tamara. Bila je ženska lepega obličja.
28 So Absalom dwelt the space of two yeres in Ierusalem, and saw not the Kings face.
Tako je Absalom dve polni leti prebival v Jeruzalemu in ni videl kraljevega obraza.
29 Therefore Absalom sent for Ioab to sende him to the King, but he would not come to him: and when he sent againe, he would not come.
Zato je Absalom poslal po Joába, da ga pošlje h kralju, toda ta ni hotel priti k njemu in ko je drugič ponovno poslal, ta ni hotel priti.
30 Therefore he sayde vnto his seruants, Beholde, Ioab hath a fielde by my place, and hath barley therein: go, and set it on fire: and Absaloms seruants set the field on fire.
Zato je rekel svojim služabnikom: »Glejte, Joábovo polje je v bližini mojega in tam ima ječmen. Pojdite in ga požgite.« In Absalomovi služabniki so zažgali polje.
31 Then Ioab arose, and came to Absalom vnto his house, and sayd vnto him, Wherefore haue thy seruants burnt my field with fire?
Potem je Joáb vstal in prišel k Absalomu v njegovo hišo ter mu rekel: »Zakaj so tvoji služabniki zažgali moje polje?«
32 And Absalom answered Ioab, Beholde, I sent for thee, saying, Come thou hither, and I wil send thee to the King for to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? It had bene better for me to haue bene there still: nowe therefore let mee see the Kings face: and if there be any trespasse in me, let him kill me.
Absalom je odgovoril Joábu: »Glej, poslal sem k tebi, rekoč: ›Pridi sèm, da te lahko pošljem h kralju, da rečem: ›Zakaj sem prišel iz Gešurja?‹‹ Zame bi bilo dobro, da bi bil še vedno tam. Sedaj mi torej pusti videti kraljev obraz in če bo kakršnakoli krivičnost v meni, naj me ubije.«
33 Then Ioab came to the King, and told him: and he called for Absalom, who came to the King, and bowed himselfe to the grounde on his face before the King, and the King kissed Absalom.
Tako je Joáb prišel h kralju in mu povedal in ko je dal poklicati Absaloma, je ta prišel h kralju in se pred kraljem priklonil na svoj obraz do tal in kralj je poljubil Absaloma.
