2 Samuel 16
1 And when David was passed a little beyond the top [of the mount], behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth came toward him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred bunches of raisins, and a hundred [cakes] of dried figs, and a bottle of wine.
Ko je David ravno prešel vrh hriba, glej, ga je srečal Mefibóšetov služabnik Cibá, s parom osedlanih oslov in na njih dvesto hlebov kruha, sto grozdov rozin, sto poletnih sadov in vinski meh.
2 And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou with these? And Ziba said, The asses are for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and the dried figs for the young men to eat; and the wine to drink for such as may be faint in the wilderness.
Kralj je rekel Cibáju: »Kaj nameravaš s tem?« Cibá je rekel: »Ti osli so za kraljevo družino, da jaha na njih. Kruh in poletno sadje za mladeniče, da jedo, in vino, da tisti, ki so v divjini oslabeli, lahko pijejo.«
3 And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he remaineth at Jerusalem; for he said, Today will the house of Israel restore unto me the kingdom of my father.
Kralj je rekel: »In kje je sin tvojega gospodarja?« Cibá je rekel kralju: »Glej, on ostaja v Jeruzalemu, kajti rekel je: ›Danes mi bo Izraelova hiša obnovila kraljestvo mojega očeta.‹«
4 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine shall be all that pertaineth unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I prostrate myself; let me but find grace in thy eyes, my Lord, O king.
Potem je kralj rekel Cibáju: »Glej, tvoje je vse, kar pripada Mefibóšetu.« Cibá je rekel: »Ponižno te rotim, da lahko najdem milost v tvojem pogledu, moj gospod, oh kralj.«
5 And when King David came as far as Bachurim, behold, there came out thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shim'i, the son of Gera, coming forth, and cursing.
Ko je kralj David prišel v Bahurím, glej, je od tam prišel mož iz družine Savlove hiše, katerega ime je bilo Šimí, Gerájev sin. Prišel je naprej in nenehno preklinjal, medtem ko je prihajal.
6 And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right and on his left.
V Davida in v vse služabnike kralja Davida je lučal kamne in vse ljudstvo in vsi mogočni možje so bili na njegovi desni roki in na njegovi levi.
7 And thus said Shim'i as he cursed, Away, away, thou man of blood, and thou worthless man!
Tako je govoril Šimí, ko je preklinjal: »Pridi ven, pridi ven, ti, krvoločen človek in ti, Beliálov človek.
8 The Lord hath brought back upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou didst reign; and the Lord hath placed the kingdom into the hand of Abshalom thy son; and, behold, thou art now in thy misfortune, because a man of blood art thou.
Gospod je povrnil nad teboj vso kri Savlove hiše, namesto katerega si zakraljeval in Gospod je kraljestvo izročil v roko tvojega sina Absaloma. Glej, ujet si v svoji vragoliji, ker si krvoločen človek.«
9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruyah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my Lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and remove his head.
Potem je Cerújin sin Abišáj rekel kralju: »Zakaj bi ta mrtvi pes preklinjal mojega gospoda kralja? Naj grem preko, prosim te in snamem njegovo glavo.«
10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruyah? so let him curse; because the Lord hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?
Kralj pa je rekel: »Kaj imam z vama, Cerújina sinova? Tako naj preklinja, ker mu je Gospod rekel: ›Preklinjaj Davida.‹ Kdo bo potem rekel: ›Čemu si tako storil?‹«
11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who hath come forth out of my own body, seeketh my life: how much more now this Benjamite? let him alone, and let him curse; for the Lord hath said it to him.
David je rekel Abišáju in vsem svojim služabnikom: »Glejte, moj sin, ki je prišel iz moje notranjosti, mi streže po življenju. Kako mnogo bolj lahko sedaj to stori ta Benjaminovec? Pustite ga na miru in naj preklinja, kajti Gospod mu je zaukazal.
12 Perhaps the Lord will look on my affliction, and the Lord will requite me good instead of his cursing this day.
Morda bo Gospod pogledal na mojo stisko in da mi bo Gospod poplačal dobro za njegovo preklinjanje ta dan.«
13 And David and his men went [thus] on the way. And Shim'i went on the side of the mount opposite to him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones toward him, and cast dust.
Medtem ko so David in njegovi možje šli po poti, je Šimí hodil vzdolž, na drugi strani hriba, nasproti njemu in preklinjal, medtem ko je hodil in lučal kamne vanj in metal prah.
14 And the king, and all the people that were with him, arrived weary, and refreshed themselves there.
Kralj in vse ljudstvo, ki so bili z njim, so prišli izmučeni in se tam osvežili.
15 And Abshalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Achithophel [also] with him.
Absalom in vse ljudstvo Izraelovih mož pa so prišli v Jeruzalem in Ahitófel z njim.
16 And it came to pass, when Chushai the Arkite, David's friend, was come unto Abshalom, that Chushai said unto Abshalom, Long live the king! Long live the king!
Pripetilo se je, ko je Davidov prijatelj Arkéjec Hušáj prišel k Absalomu, da je Hušáj rekel Absalomu: »Živel kralj, živel kralj.«
17 And Abshalom said to Chushai, Is this thy kindness for thy friend? why art thou not gone with thy friend?
Absalom je rekel Hušáju: » Ali je to tvoja prijaznost do tvojega prijatelja? Zakaj nisi šel s svojim prijateljem?«
18 And Chushai said unto Abshalom, No; but whom the Lord, and this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I be, and with him will I remain.
Hušáj je rekel Absalomu: »Ne, temveč katerega Gospod in to ljudstvo in vsi Izraelovi možje izberejo, njegov bom in z njim bom ostal.
19 And secondly, who is it whom I shall serve? is it not in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence.
In ponovno, komu naj bi služil? Ali naj ne bi služil v prisotnosti njegovega sina? Kakor sem služil v prisotnosti tvojega očeta, tako bom v tvoji prisotnosti.«
20 Then said Abshalom to Achithophel, Hold counsel among yourselves as to what we shall do.
Potem je Absalom rekel Ahitófelu: »Dajte nasvet med vami, kaj naj storimo.«
21 And Achithophel said unto Abshalom, Go in unto thy father's concubines, whom he hath left to guard the house; and all Israel will hear that thou art in bad odor with thy father: and then will the hands of all that are with thee become strong.
Ahitófel je rekel Absalomu: »Pojdi noter v priležnice svojega očeta, ki jih je pustil, da varujejo hišo in ves Izrael bo slišal, da si preziran od svojega očeta. Potem bodo močne roke vseh, ki so s teboj.«
22 So they spread for Abshalom a tent upon the roof; and Abshalom went in unto his father's concubines before the eyes of all Israel.
Tako so Absalomu razprostrli šotor na vrhu hiše in Absalom je šel v priležnice svojega očeta pred očmi vsega Izraela.
23 And the counsel of Achithophel, which he counseled in those days, was as if a man had asked advice of the word of God: so was all the counsel of Achithophel both with David and with Abshalom.
Nasvet Ahitófela, ki je v tistih dneh svetoval, je bil, kakor če bi človek poizvedoval pri Božjem oraklju, tako so bili vsi Ahitófelovi nasveti tako z Davidom kakor z Absalomom.
