2 Samuel 17
1 Moreouer Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me chuse out now twelue thousand men, and I will vp and follow after Dauid this night,
Nato Ahitofel reče Abšalomu: “Dopusti da izaberem dvanaest tisuća ljudi pa da se dignem i pođem u potjeru za Davidom još noćas.
2 And I will come vpon him: for he is wearie, and weake handed: so I will feare him, and all the people that are with him, shall flee, and I will smite the King onely,
Navalit ću na njega kad bude umoran i bez snage; plašit ću ga i razbježat će se sav narod koji je s njim. Onda ću ubiti samoga kralja.
3 And I will bring againe all the people vnto thee, and when all shall returne, (the man whome thou seekest being slaine) all the people shalbe in peace.
A sav ću narod dovesti natrag k tebi, kao što se mlada vraća svome mužu: ti radiš o glavi samo jednome čovjeku, a sav će narod onda biti miran.”
4 And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the Elders of Israel.
Svidje se to Abšalomu i svim starješinama Izraelovim.
5 Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let vs heare likewise what he sayth.
Ali Abšalom reče: “Pozovimo još Hušaja Arčanina da čujemo što će nam on kazati!”
6 So when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom spake vnto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken thus: shall we doe after his saying, or no? tell thou.
Kad je Hušaj došao k Abšalomu, reče mu Abšalom: “Ahitofel je svjetovao ovako. Hoćemo li učiniti kako je on predložio? Ako ne, govori ti!”
7 Hushai then answered vnto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath giuen, is not good at this time.
A Hušaj odgovori Abšalomu: “Ovaj put savjet Ahitofelov nije dobar.”
8 For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father, and his men, that they be strong men, and are chafed in minde as a beare robbed of her whelps in the fielde: also thy father is a valiant warrier, and will not lodge with the people.
I nastavi Hušaj: “Ti znaš da su tvoj otac i njegovi ljudi junaci i da su ljuti kao medvjedica kojoj su oteli njezine medvjediće. Tvoj je otac ratnik, neće on dopustiti da narod počiva preko noći.
9 Behold, he is hid now in some caue, or in some place: and though some of them be ouerthrowen at the first, yet the people shall heare, and say, The people that follow Absalom, be ouerthrowen.
On se sada krije u kakvoj jami ili na kakvu drugom mjestu. Pa ako odmah u početku koji od naših padne, proširit će se glas o porazu u vojsci koja je pristala uz Abšaloma.
10 Then he also that is valiant whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall shrinke and faint: for all Israel knoweth, that thy father is valiant, and they which be with him, stout men.
Tada će i najhrabriji, u koga je srce kao u lava, izgubiti srčanost. Jer sav Izrael zna da je tvoj otac junak i da su hrabri oni koji ga prate.
11 Therefore my counsell is, that all Israel be gathered vnto thee, from Dan euen to Beer-sheba as the sand of the sea in nomber, and that thou goe to battell in thine owne person.
Zato ja svjetujem ovo: neka se sav Izrael, od Dana do Beer Šebe, okupi oko tebe, da ga bude kao pijeska na obali morskoj, a ti sam da stupaš u njihovoj sredini.
12 So shall we come vpon him in some place, where we shall finde him, and we will vpon him as the dewe falleth on the ground: and of all the men that are with him, wee will not leaue him one.
Tada ćemo navaliti na njega gdje se god bude nalazio, oborit ćemo se na nj kao što rosa pada na zemlju i nećemo ostaviti živa ni njega niti ikojega od njegovih ljudi.
13 Moreouer if he be gotten into a citie, then shall all the men of Israel bring ropes to that citie, and we will draw it into the riuer, vntill there be not one small stone founde there.
Ako li se povuče u koji grad, sav će izraelski narod donijeti užeta pod onaj grad pa ćemo ga povlačiti do potoka, sve dok više ni kamenčića ne bude od njega.”
14 Then Absalom and all the men of Israel sayde, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better, then the counsell of Ahithophel: for the Lord had determined to destroy the good counsell of Ahithophel, that the Lord might bring euill vpon Absalom.
Tada Abšalom i svi Izraelci rekoše: “Bolji je savjet Hušaja Arčanina nego savjet Ahitofelov.” Jer Jahve bijaše odlučio da se osujeti izvrsna Ahitofelova osnova, kako bi navukao nesreću na Abšaloma.
15 Then said Hushai vnto Zadok and to Abiathar the Priests, Of this and that maner did Ahithophel and the Elders of Israel counsell Absalom: and thus and thus haue I counseled.
Potom Hušaj javi svećenicima Sadoku i Ebjataru: “Ahitofel je tako i tako savjetovao Abšaloma i starješine izraelske, a ja sam savjetovao tako i tako.
16 Now therefore sende quickely, and shewe Dauid, saying, Tarie not this night in the fieldes of the wildernesse, but rather get thee ouer, lest the King be deuoured and all the people that are with him.
Zato sad brzo javite to Davidu i poručite mu: 'Nemoj noćas noćiti na ravnicama pustinje, nego brzo prijeđi na drugu stranu da ne bude uništen kralj i sva vojska koja je s njim.'”
17 Now Ionathan and Ahimaaz abode by En-rogel: (for they might not be seene to come into the citie) and a maid went, and tolde them, and they went and shewed King Dauid.
Jonatan i Ahimaas zadržavali se kod Rogelskog izvora; jedna je sluškinja dolazila i donosila im vijesti, a oni su odlazili da to jave kralju Davidu, jer se nisu smjeli odati ulazeći u grad.
18 Neuerthelesse a yong man sawe them, and tolde it to Absalom. therefore they both departed quickely, and came to a mans house in Bahurim, who had a well in his court, into the which they went downe.
Ali ih opazi neki momak te javi Abšalomu. Nato obojica žurno odoše i dođoše u kuću nekoga čovjeka u Bahurimu. U njegovu dvorištu bijaše studenac i oni se spustiše u nj.
19 And the wife tooke and spred a couering ouer the welles mouth, and spred ground corne thereon, that the thing should not be knowen.
A žena uze i razastrije pokrivač preko otvora studencu i posu po njem stučenoga zrnja, tako da se ništa nije moglo opaziti.
20 And when Absaloms seruants came to the wife into the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz and Ionathan? And the woman answered them, They be gone ouer the brooke of water. And when they had sought them, and could not finde them, they returned to Ierusalem.
Abšalomove sluge dođoše k toj ženi u kuću i upitaše: “Gdje su Ahimaas i Jonatan?” A žena im odgovori: “Otišli su dalje prema vodi.” Potom su ih još tražili, ali ih ne nađoše pa se vratiše u Jeruzalem.
21 And assoone as they were departed, the other came out of the well, and went and tolde King Dauid, and sayde vnto him, Vp, and get you quickely ouer the water: for such counsell hath Ahithophel giuen against you.
A kad su oni otišli, ona dvojica iziđoše iz studenca i odoše da donesu vijesti kralju Davidu. I rekoše mu: “Ustajte i prijeđite brže preko vode, jer je tako i tako savjetovao protiv vas Ahitofel.”
22 Then Dauid arose, and all the people that were with him, and they went ouer Iorden vntil the dawning of the day, so that there lacked not one of them, that was not come ouer Iorden.
Tada se David i sav narod što bijaše s njim diže i prijeđe preko Jordana; u zoru nije više bilo nijednoga koji nije prešao preko Jordana.
23 Nowe when Ahithophel sawe that his counsell was not followed, he sadled his asse, and arose, and he went home vnto his citie, and put his houshold in order, and hanged him selfe, and dyed, and was buryed in his fathers graue.
Kad je Ahitofel vidio da se nije izvršio njegov savjet, osamari svoga magarca, krenu na put i ode svojoj kući u svoj grad. Ondje se pobrinu za svoju kuću, zatim se objesi i umrije. Pokopaše ga u grobu njegova oca.
24 Then Dauid came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed ouer Iorden, he, and all the men of Israel with him.
David je već bio došao u Mahanajim kad je Abšalom prešao preko Jordana sa svim Izraelcima koji bijahu s njim.
25 And Absalom made Amasa captaine of the hoste in the stead of Ioab: which Amasa was a mans sonne named Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Ioabs mother.
Abšalom bijaše postavio Amasu za zapovjednika nad vojskom namjesto Joaba. A Amasa je bio sin nekoga čovjeka po imenu Jitre, Jišmaelovca, koji je ušao k Abigajili, kćeri Jišajevoj i sestri Sarvije, Joabove majke.
26 So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead.
Izrael i Abšalom udariše tabor u zemlji gileadskoj.
27 And when Dauid was come to Mahanaim, Shobi the sonne of Nahash out of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the sonne of Ammiel out of Lo-debar, and Barzelai the Gileadite out of Rogel
Kad je David došao u Mahanajim, tada Šobi, sin Nahašev iz Rabe Amonske, pa Makir, sin Amielov iz Lo Debara, i Barzilaj, Gileađanin iz Rogelima,
28 Brought beds, and basens, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and floure, and parched corne, and beanes, and lentiles, and parched corne.
donesoše postelja, pokrivača, čaša i zemljanog suđa, uz to pšenice, ječma, brašna, pržena žita, boba, leće,
29 And they brought hony, and butter, and sheepe, and cheese of kine for Dauid and for the people that were with him, to eate: for they said, The people is hungry, and wearie, and thirstie in the wildernesse.
meda, kiseloga mlijeka i sira kravljeg i ovčjeg i ponudiše Davida i narod što bijaše s njim da jedu. Jer mišljahu: “Ljudi su u pustinji trpjeli glad, umor i žeđu.”
