1 Samuel 25
1 And Samuel died; and all the Israelites assembled themselves together, and lamented for him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
Uto umrije Samuel. Sav se Izrael skupi i oplaka ga naričući za njim; i pokopaše ga u njegovu zavičaju u Rami. A David usta i siđe u pustinju Paran.
2 And there was a man in Ma'on, whose business was in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was, while they were shearing his sheep, at Carmel.
U Maonu živio čovjek koji je imao svoje gospodarstvo u Karmelu; bio je to vrlo bogat čovjek, imao je tri tisuće ovaca i tisuću koza. Upravo je tada strigao svoje ovce u Karmelu.
3 Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigayil: and the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful form; but the man was hard-hearted and evil in his deeds; and he was of the house of Caleb.
Taj se čovjek zvao Nabal, a njegova žena Abigajila. Žena je bila mudra i vrlo lijepa, a čovjek surov i opak: bio je Kalebovac.
4 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
David je u pustinji čuo da Nabal striže svoje ovce.
5 And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and ask him in my name after his well-being.
Stoga posla deset momaka naloživši im: “Idite gore u Karmel, otiđite k Nabalu i pozdravite ga u moje ime.
6 And ye shall say, May it thus be throughout thy life; and peace be to thee, and peace be to thy house, and unto all that thou hast be peace.
I recite ovako mome bratu: 'Mir tebi, mir tvome domu, mir svemu što imaš!
7 And now have I heard that thou hast sheep-shearers: now thy shepherds have been with us, we have not injured them, neither hath there aught been missing unto them, all the time they were at Carmel.
Sada, čujem, strižeš ovce. A tvoji su pastiri bili kod nas, nismo ih dirali, ništa im nije nestalo dokle god su bili u Karmelu.
8 Ask thy young men, and they will tell it thee. Therefore let the young men find favor in thy eyes; for on a festive day are we come: give, I pray thee, whatsoever thy hand is capable of unto thy servants, and to thy son, to David.
Pitaj svoje sluge i kazat će ti. Zato neka ovi momci nađu milost pred tobom, jer smo došli u svečan dan. Podaj svojim slugama i svome sinu Davidu što ti se nađe pri ruci.'”
9 And David's young men came, and they spoke to Nabal in accordance with all these words in the name of David; and then they ceased.
Dođoše momci Davidovi i ponoviše Nabalu u Davidovo ime sve ove riječi, a onda pričekaše.
10 And Nabal answered the servants of David, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? now-a-days there are many servants that break away every one from his master.
Ali Nabal odgovori Davidovim slugama ovako: “Tko je David, tko je Jišajev sin? Danas ima mnogo slugu koji su pobjegli od svojih gospodara.
11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my sheep-shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they are?
Zar da uzmem svoj kruh, svoju vodu, svoju stoku koju sam poklao za svoje strigače pa da to poklonim ljudima o kojima ne znam ni odakle su?”
12 And David's young men turned about on their way, and returned, and came and told him in accordance with all these words.
Davidovi se momci okrenuše i vratiše se svojim putem. Kad su se vratili, javiše sve ove riječi Davidu.
13 And David said unto his men, Gird ye on, every man, his sword. And they girded on, every man, his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men, and two hundred abode by the baggage.
A David reče svojim ljudima: “Pripašite svaki svoj mač!” I pripasaše svaki svoj mač, i David pripasa svoj, i oko četiri stotine ljudi krenu za Davidom, dok ih dvije stotine osta kod tovara.
14 But one of the young men told Abigayil, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master; but he hath spoken rudely to them.
A ženi Nabalovoj, Abigajili, javio jedan od Nabalovih slugu ovo: “Eto, David je poslao iz pustinje glasnike da pozdrave našega gospodara, a on ih potjerao.
15 Whereas the men have been very good unto us; and we have not been injured, neither have we missed any thing, all the time that we went about with them, while we were in the field:
A ti su ljudi bili vrlo dobri prema nama: nisu nas dirali, ništa nismo izgubili dokle god smo bili u njihovoj blizini kad smo bili u polju.
16 A wall were they around us both by night and by day, all the time we were with them, feeding the flocks.
Noću i danju bili su nam kao bedem u sve vrijeme dok smo bili s njima pasući stada.
17 And now know and consider what thou canst do; for evil is determined on against our master, and against all his household; and he is too greatly a worthless man for me to speak to him.
Razmisli sada i vidi što ćeš učiniti, jer je gotova pogibija našem gospodaru i svemu njegovu domu; a on je opak čovjek komu se ne može ništa kazati.”
18 And Abigayil made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.
Abigajila brzo uze dvije stotine hljebova, dva mijeha vina, pet zgotovljenih ovaca, pet mjera pržena žita, sto grozdova suhoga grožđa, dvije stotine smokovih kolača i sve to natovari na magarce.
19 And she said unto her young men, Pass on before me: behold, I come after you. But to her husband Nabal she told nothing.
I zapovjedi svojim slugama: “Idite preda mnom, a ja ću za vama.” Svome mužu Nabalu nije kazala ništa.
20 And it was so, as she was riding on the ass, and coming down by the covert of the mount, that, behold, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them.
Dok je, jašući na magarcu, silazila iza gorskog zavoja, David je sa svojim ljudima silazio nasuprot njoj, tako da se ona susrela s njima.
21 Now David had said, Yea, for naught only have I guarded all that belongeth to this fellow in the wilderness, so that not the least was missed of all that pertained unto him; and he hath requited me evil instead of good.
A David je upravo mislio: “Uzalud sam, dakle, zaštićivao u pustinji sve što je taj čovjek imao i ništa mu nije nestalo od svega što je posjedovao! Sada mi vraća zlo za dobro!
22 So may God do unto the enemies of David, and do so yet farther, if I leave of all that pertaineth to him by the morning light, as much as a dog.
Neka Bog učini Davidu ovo zlo i neka mu doda drugo ako Nabalu do zore od svega što ima ostavim i ono što mokri uza zid!”
23 And when Abigayil saw David, she hastened, and alighted off the ass, and fell down before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.
Kad je Abigajila ugledala Davida, brzo sjaha s magarca i pade pred Davida ničice, poklonivši se do zemlje.
24 And she fell at his feet, and said, On me, me, my lord, is the fault: and let thy hand-maid, I pray thee, speak in thy hearing, and listen to the words of thy hand-maid.
Bacivši mu se tako pred noge, reče: “Gospodaru, neka na mene padne krivica! Dopusti da službenica tvoja progovori tvojim ušima i udostoj se poslušati riječi službenice svoje!
25 Let not my Lord, I pray thee, turn his heart unto this worthless man, unto Nabal; for as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and meanness is with him; but I thy hand-maid did not see the young men of my Lord, whom thou didst send.
Neka moj gospodar ne gleda na toga opakog čovjeka, na Nabala, jer on s pravom nosi svoje ime: zove se Luda i ludost je s njim. A ja, službenica tvoja, nisam vidjela momaka koje je poslao moj gospodar.
26 And now, my lord, as the Eternal liveth, and as thy soul liveth, it is the Lord who hath withholden thee from coming to blood-guiltiness, and from helping thyself with thy own hand; and now may like Nabal be thy enemies, and those that seek [to do] my Lord evil.
Zato sada, gospodaru, živoga mi Jahve, i tako živ bio ti, i tako ti Jahve koji te očuvao da ne svališ na se krvnu krivicu i da ne pribaviš sebi pravdu svojom rukom: neka prođu kao Nabal tvoji neprijatelji i oni koji snuju zlo mome gospodaru!
27 And now this present which thy hand-maid hath brought unto my Lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow in the train my Lord.
A ovaj dar, što ga evo tvoja službenica nosi svome gospodaru, neka se dade momcima koji idu za mojim gospodarom na njegovim putovima.
28 Pardon, I pray thee, the trespass of thy hand-maid; for the Lord will certainly make for my lord an enduring house; because the battles of the Lord doth my lord fight, and evil will not be found in thee all thy days.
Oprosti službenici svojoj njezinu krivnju! Zacijelo će Jahve osnovati trajan dom mome gospodaru, jer moj gospodar bije Jahvine bojeve i za svega tvoga života neće se naći zlo na tebi.
29 And though a man is risen up to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: yet will the soul of my Lord be bound in the bond of life with the Lord thy God; and the soul of thy enemies will he hurl away, as out of the middle of the sling.
Ako se tko digne da te progoni i da ti radi o glavi, neka život moga gospodara bude pohranjen u škrinji života kod Jahve, tvoga Boga, a život tvojih neprijatelja neka on baci kao iz praćke.
30 And it shall come to pass, when the Lord will do to my lord, in accordance with all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and will ordain thee as ruler over Israel,
I kad Jahve učini mome gospodaru svako dobro koje ti je obećao i kad te odredi da budeš knezom nad Izraelom,
31 That this shall not be unto thee as a cause of offense and as a reproach of heart unto my lord, both by having shed blood without cause, and by my lord having righted himself; and when the Lord will do good unto my lord, then do thou remember thy hand-maid.
onda neka ne bude na smutnju ni na grižnju savjesti mome gospodaru da je ni za što prolio krv i da je sebi pribavio pravdu svojoj rukom. I kad Jahve učini dobro mome gospodaru, sjeti se tada službenice svoje!”
32 And David said to Abigayil, Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me;
David odgovori Abigajili: “Neka je blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, koji te danas poslao meni u susret!
33 And blessed be thy intelligence, and blessed be thou, who hast prevented me this day from coming unto blood-guiltiness, and from helping myself with my own hand.
Neka je blagoslovljena tvoja mudrost i blagoslovljena bila ti što si me danas zadržala da ne svalim na se krvnu krivicu i da ne pribavim sebi pravdu svojom rukom.
34 But truly, as the Lord the God of Israel liveth, who hath withdrawn me from injuring thee, except thou hadst hastened and come to meet me, surely there would not have been left unto Nabal by the morning-light so much as a dog.
Ali, tako mi živog Jahve, Boga Izraelova, koji nije dopustio da ti učinim zlo: da mi nisi tako brzo izišla u susret, zaista ne bi Nabalu do jutra ostalo ni ono što uza zid mokri!”
35 And David took out of her hand that which she had brought him; and unto her he said, Go up in peace to thy house: see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have respected thy presence.
Nato David primi iz njezine ruke što mu bijaše donijela i reče joj: “Vrati se s mirom svojoj kući. Gle, uslišao sam tvoj glas i obazreo se na tebe.”
36 And Abigayil came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, and he was exceedingly drunken; wherefore she told him not a word, either little or great, until the morning-light.
Kad se Abigajila vratila k Nabalu, on je upravo imao gozbu u kući, pravu kraljevsku gozbu: Nabal bijaše veseo i sasvim pijan; zato mu ona ne reče ništa dok nije svanulo jutro.
37 But it happened in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things; and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
A ujutro, kad se Nabal otrijeznio, pripovjedi mu njegova žena sve što se dogodilo, a njemu obamrije srce u grudima i on osta kao da se skamenio.
38 And it came to pass in about ten days thereafter, that the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.
A desetak dana poslije toga Jahve udari Nabala te umrije.
39 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the Lord, who hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath withheld his servant from evil; and the wickedness of Nabal hath the Lord returned upon his own head. And David sent and applied for Abigayil, to take her to himself for wife.
Kad David ču da je umro Nabal, reče: “Neka je blagoslovljen Jahve, koji mi je ispravio nepravdu što mi je učini Nabal; i Jahve je očuvao svoga slugu da ne učini zla, a svalio je Nabalovu zloću na njegovu glavu!” Potom David posla poruku Abigajili da će je uzeti za ženu.
40 And the servants of David came to Abigayil to Carmel, and they spoke unto her, saying, David hath sent us unto thee, to take thee to himself for wife.
Davidove sluge dođoše k Abigajili u Karmel i rekoše joj: “David nas je poslao k tebi da te uzme sebi za ženu.”
41 Thereupon she arose, and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thy hand-maid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
A ona ustade, pokloni se do zemlje i reče: “Evo službenice tvoje koja je spremna da bude robinja i da pere noge slugama svoga gospodara!”
42 And Abigayil hastened, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with her five damsels that went in her train; and she went after the messengers of David, and she became his wife.
Potom Abigajila brzo ustade i zajaha na magarca, a za njom pođe pet njezinih dvorkinja. Tako je otišla za Davidovim poslanicima i postala njegovom ženom.
43 David also took Achino'am of Yizre'el; and both of them became thus his wives.
I Ahinoamom iz Jizreela bijaše se oženio David i obje mu bjehu žene.
44 But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti, the son of Layish, who was of Gallim.
Jer Šaul bijaše svoju kćer Mikalu, Davidovu ženu, dao Paltiju, sinu Lajiša iz Galima.
