2 Samuel 15
1 After this, Absalom prepared him charets and horses, and fiftie men to runne before him.
Poslije toga nabavi Abšalom sebi kola i konje i pedeset ljudi koji su trčali pred njim.
2 And Absalom rose vp early, and stoode hard by the entring in of the gate: and euery man that had any matter, and came to the King for iudgement, him did Absalom call vnto him, and sayde, Of what citie art thou? And he answered, Thy seruant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
Abšalom je u rano jutro stajao kraj puta koji vodi do gradskih vrata; i tko god je imao kakvu parnicu te išao kralju na sud, Abšalom bi ga dozvao k sebi i pitao: “Iz kojega si grada?” A kad bi ovaj odgovorio: “Tvoj je sluga iz toga i toga Izraelova plemena”,
3 Then Absalom said vnto him, See, thy matters are good and righteous, but there is no man deputed of the King to heare thee.
tada bi mu Abšalom rekao: “Vidiš, tvoja je stvar dobra i pravedna, ali nećeš naći nikoga koji bi te saslušao kod kralja.”
4 Absalom sayd moreouer, Oh that I were made Iudge in the lande, that euery man which hath any matter of controuersie, might come to me, that I might do him iustice.
Abšalom bi nastavljao: “Ah, kad bi mene postavili za suca u zemlji! Svaki bi koji ima kakvu parnicu ili sud dolazio k meni i ja bih mu pribavio pravo!”
5 And when any man came neere to him, and did him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and tooke him, and kissed him.
A kad bi mu se tko približio da mu se pokloni, on bi pružio ruku, privukao ga k sebi i poljubio.
6 And on this maner did Absalom to al Israel, that came to the King for iudgement: so Absalom stale the hearts of the men of Israel.
Tako je činio Abšalom svim Izraelcima koji su dolazili na sud kralju. Time je Abšalom predobivao srca Izraelaca za sebe.
7 And after fourtie yeeres, Absalom sayd vnto the King, I pray thee, let me go to Hebron, and render my vowe which I haue vowed vnto the Lord.
Kad su prošle četiri godine, Abšalom reče kralju: “Dopusti da odem u Hebron i da izvršim zavjet kojim sam se zavjetovao Jahvi.
8 For thy seruant vowed a vowe when I remayned at Geshur, in Aram, saying, If the Lord shall bring me againe in deede to Ierusalem, I will serue the Lord.
Jer kad bijah u Gešuru u Aramu, tvoj se sluga zavjetovao ovako: 'Ako me Jahve dovede natrag u Jeruzalem, iskazat ću čast Jahvi u Hebronu.'”
9 And the King sayd vnto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.
A kralj mu odgovori: “Idi u miru!” I on krenu na put i ode u Hebron.
10 Then Absalom sent spyes throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, When yee heare the sound of the trumpet, Ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron.
Abšalom razasla tajne glasnike po svim Izraelovim plemenima i poruči im: “Kad čujete zvuk roga, tada recite: Abšalom je postao kralj u Hebronu.”
11 And with Absalom went two hundreth men out of Ierusalem, that were called: and they went in their simplicitie, knowing nothing.
A ode s Abšalomom dvije stotine ljudi iz Jeruzalema; bijahu to uzvanici koji su bezazleno pošli ne znajući što se sprema.
12 Also Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite Dauids counseller, from his citie Giloh, while he offred sacrifices: and the treason was great: for the people encreased still with Absalom.
Abšalom posla i po Gilonjanina Ahitofela, Davidova savjetnika, iz njegova grada Gilona, da pribiva prinošenju žrtava. Urota je bila jaka, a mnoštvo Abšalomovih pristaša sve je više raslo.
13 Then came a messenger to Dauid, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are turned after Absalom.
Tada stiže Davidu glasnik te mu javi: “Srce Izraelaca priklonilo se Abšalomu.”
14 Then Dauid sayd vnto all his seruants that were with him at Ierusalem, Vp, and let vs flee: for we shall not escape from Absalom: make speede to depart, lest he come suddenly and take vs, and bring euill vpon vs, and smite the citie with the edge of the sworde.
Tada David reče svim svojim dvoranima koji bijahu s njim u Jeruzalemu: “Ustanite! Bježimo! Inače nećemo uteći od Abšaloma. Pohitite brzo, da on ne bude brži i ne stigne nas, da ne obori na nas zlo i ne pobije grada oštricom mača!”
15 And the Kings seruants sayd vnto him, Behold, thy seruants are ready to do according to all that my lord the King shall appoynt.
A kraljevi dvorani odgovoriše kralju: “Što god odluči naš gospodar kralj, evo tvojih slugu!”
16 So the King departed and all his houshold after him, and the King left ten concubines to keepe the house.
I kralj iziđe pješice sa svim svojim dvorom; ipak ostavi kralj deset inoča da čuvaju palaču.
17 And the King went forth and all the people after him, and taried in a place farre off.
I kralj ode pješice sa svim narodom i zaustavi se kod posljednje kuće.
18 And all his seruants went about him, and all the Cherethites and all the Pelethites and all the Gittites, euen sixe hudreth men which were come after him from Gath, went before the King.
Svi njegovi dvorani stajahu uza nj. Tada svi Kerećani, svi Pelećani, Itaj i svi Gićani koji bijahu došli s njim iz Gata, šest stotina ljudi, prođoše pred kraljem.
19 Then sayde the King to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore commest thou also with vs? Returne aud abide with the King, for thou art a stranger: depart thou therefore to thy place.
Kralj upita Itaja Gićanina: “Zašto i ti ideš s nama? Vrati se i ostani kod kralja! Ti si stranac, prognan iz svoje zemlje.
20 Thou camest yesterday, and should I cause thee to wander to day and go with vs? I will goe whither I can: therefore returne thou and cary againe thy brethren: mercy and trueth be with thee.
Jučer si došao, a danas da te vodim da se potucaš s nama kad ja idem kamo me sreća nanese. Vrati se i odvedi svoju braću natrag sa sobom, a Jahve neka ti iskaže ljubav i vjernost!”
21 And Ittai answered the King, and sayde, As the Lord liueth, and as my lord the King liueth, in what place my lord the King shalbe, whether in death or life, euen there surely will thy seruant bee.
Ali Itaj odgovori kralju ovako: “Živoga mi Jahve i tako mi živ bio moj gospodar kralj: gdje god bude moj gospodar kralj, bilo na smrt ili na život, ondje će biti i tvoj sluga!”
22 Then Dauid sayd to Ittai, Come, and go forward. And Ittai the Gittite went, and all his men, and all the children that were with him.
Tada David reče Itaju: “Hajde, prođi!” I Itaj iz Gata prođe sa svim svojim ljudima i sa svom svojom pratnjom.
23 And all the countrey wept with a loude voyce, and all the people went forward, but the King passed ouer the brooke Kidron: and all the people went ouer toward the way of ye wildernes.
Svi plakahu iza glasa. Kralj je stajao na potoku Kidronu i sav je narod prolazio pred njim prema pustinji.
24 And lo, Zadok also was there, and all the Leuites with him, bearing the Arke of the couenant of God: and they set downe the Arke of God, and Abiathar went vp vntill the people were all come out of the citie.
Bijaše ondje i Sadok i s njim svi leviti koji su nosili Kovčeg Božji. I oni spustiše Kovčeg Božji kraj Ebjatara dok sav narod nije izišao iz grada.
25 Then the King said vnto Zadok, Carie the Arke of God againe into the citie: if I shall finde fauour in the eyes of the Lord, he will bring me againe, and shewe me both it, and the Tabernacle thereof.
Tada kralj reče Sadoku: “Odnesi Kovčeg Božji natrag u grad. Ako nađem milost u Jahve, on će me dovesti natrag i dopustiti mi da opet vidim njega i njegovo prebivalište.
26 But if he thus say, I haue no delite in thee, behold, here am I, let him doe to me as seemeth good in his eyes.
A ako rekne ovako: 'Nisi mi po volji!' - onda evo me, neka čini sa mnom što je dobro u njegovim očima!”
27 The King sayde againe vnto Zadok the Priest, Art not thou a Seer? returne into the citie in peace, and your two sonnes with you: to wit, Ahimaaz thy sonne, and Ionathan the sonne of Abiathar.
Još kralj reče svećeniku Sadoku: “Hajde, ti i Ebjatar vratite se u miru u grad, i vaša dva sina s vama, tvoj sin Ahimaas i Ebjatarov sin Jonatan.
28 Behold, I wil tarie in the fieldes of the wildernesse, vntill there come some worde from you to be tolde me.
Evo, ja ću se zadržati na ravnicama pustinje dok ne dođe od vas glas da me obavijesti.”
29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar caried the Arke of God againe to Ierusalem, and they taried there.
Nato Sadok i Ebjatar odnesoše Kovčeg Božji natrag u Jeruzalem i ostadoše ondje.
30 And Dauid went vp the mount of oliues and wept as he went vp, and had his head couered, and went barefooted: and al the people that was with him, had euery man his head couered, and as they went vp, they wept.
David se uspinjao na Maslinsku goru, sve plačući, pokrivene glave i bos, i sav narod koji ga je pratio iđaše pokrivene glave i plačući.
31 Then one tolde Dauid, saying, Ahithophel is one of them that haue cospired with Absalom: and Dauid sayde, O Lord, I pray thee, turne the counsell of Ahithophel into foolishnesse.
Tada javiše Davidu da je i Ahitofel među urotnicima s Abšalomom. A David zavapi: “Obezumi Ahitofelove savjete, Jahve!”
32 Then Dauid came to the toppe of the mount where he worshipped God: and beholde, Hushai the Archite came against him with his coate torne, and hauing earth vpon his head.
Kad je David došao na vrh gore, ondje gdje se klanja Bogu, dođe mu u susret Hušaj Arčanin, prijatelj Davidov, razdrte haljine i glave posute prahom.
33 Vnto whom Dauid sayd, If thou goe with me, thou shalt be a burthen vnto me.
David mu reče: “Ako pođeš sa mnom, bit ćeš mi na teret.
34 But if thou returne to the citie, and say vnto Absalom, I wil be thy seruant, O King, (as I haue bene in time past thy fathers seruant, so will I now be thy seruant) then thou mayest bring me the counsell of Ahithophel to nought.
Ali ako se vratiš u grad i kažeš Abšalomu: 'Bit ću tvoj sluga, gospodaru kralju; prije sam služio tvome ocu, a sada ću služiti tebi', moći ćeš tada okretati Ahitofelove savjete u moju korist.
35 And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the Priests? therefore what so euer thou shalt heare out of the Kings house, thou shalt shew to Zadok and Abiathar the Priests.
S tobom će biti i svećenici Sadok i Ebjatar. Sve što čuješ iz palače, javi svećenicima Sadoku i Ebjataru.
36 Beholde, there are with them their two sonnes: Ahimaaz Zadoks sonne, and Ionathan Abiathars sonne: by them also shall ye send me euery thing that ye can heare.
S njima su ondje i dva njihova sina, Ahimaas Sadokov i Jonatan Ebjatarov: po njima mi javljajte sve što čujete.”
37 So Hushai Dauids friend went into the citie: and Absalom came into Ierusalem.
Tako se Hušaj, prijatelj Davidov, vrati u grad upravo u času kad je Abšalom ulazio u Jeruzalem.
