< 1 Samuel 25 >

1 And Samuel dies, and all Israel is gathered, and mourns for him, and buries him in his house, in Ramah; and David rises and goes 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 is] a man in Maon, and his work [is] in Carmel; and the man [is] very great, and he has three thousand sheep and one thousand goats; and he is shearing his flock in 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 And the name of the man [is] Nabal, and the name of his wife [is] Abigail, and the woman [is] of good understanding, and of beautiful form, and the man [is] hard and evil [in his] doings; and he [is] a Calebite.
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 hears in the wilderness that Nabal is shearing his flock,
David je u pustinji čuo da Nabal striže svoje ovce.
5 and David sends ten young men, and David says to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, and you have come to Nabal, and asked of him in my name of welfare,
Stoga posla deset momaka naloživši im: “Idite gore u Karmel, otiđite k Nabalu i pozdravite ga u moje ime.
6 and said thus to the living: And peace to you, and peace to your house, and peace to all that you have!
I recite ovako mome bratu: 'Mir tebi, mir tvome domu, mir svemu što imaš!
7 And now, I have heard that you have shearers; now, the shepherds whom you have have been with us, we have not put them to shame, nor has anything been looked after by them, all the days of their being in 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 your young men, and they declare [it] to you, and the young men find grace in your eyes, for we have come on a good day; please give that which your hand finds to your servants and to your 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 the young men of David come in, and speak to Nabal according to all these words, in the name of David—and rest.
Dođoše momci Davidovi i ponoviše Nabalu u Davidovo ime sve ove riječi, a onda pričekaše.
10 And Nabal answers the servants of David and says, “Who [is] David, and who [is] the son of Jesse? Have servants been multiplied today who are each breaking away 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 And have I taken my bread, and my water, and my flesh, which I slaughtered for my shearers, and have given [it] to men whom I have not known where they [are] from?”
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 the young men of David turn on their way, and turn back, and come in, and declare to him according to all these words.
Davidovi se momci okrenuše i vratiše se svojim putem. Kad su se vratili, javiše sve ove riječi Davidu.
13 And David says to his men, “Each gird on his sword”; and they each gird on his sword, and David also girds on his sword, and about four hundred men go up after David, and two hundred have remained by the vessels.
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 And one young man of the youths has declared [it] to Abigail wife of Nabal, saying, “Behold, David has sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our lord, and he flies on 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 and the men [are] very good to us, and have not put us to shame, and we have not looked after anything all the days we have gone up and down with them, in our being 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 they have been a wall to us both by night and by day, all the days of our being with them, feeding the flock.
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 you do; for evil has been determined against our lord, and against all his house, and he [is] too much a son of worthlessness to be spoken to.”
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 Abigail hurries, and takes two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep, prepared, and five measures of roasted grain, and one hundred bunches of raisins, and two hundred bunches of figs, and sets [them] on the donkeys.
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 says to her young men, “Pass over before me; behold, I am coming after you”; and she has not declared [it] to her husband Nabal;
I zapovjedi svojim slugama: “Idite preda mnom, a ja ću za vama.” Svome mužu Nabalu nije kazala ništa.
20 and it has come to pass, she is riding on the donkey and is coming down in the secret part of the hill-country, and behold, David and his men are coming down to meet her, and she meets 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 And David said, “Surely in vain I have kept all that this [one] has in the wilderness, and nothing has been looked after of all that he has, and he turns back to me evil for 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 thus God does to the enemies of David, and thus He adds, if I leave of all that he has until the morning light—of those sitting on the wall.”
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 Abigail sees David, and hurries and comes down from off the donkey, and falls on her face before David, and bows herself to the earth,
Kad je Abigajila ugledala Davida, brzo sjaha s magarca i pade pred Davida ničice, poklonivši se do zemlje.
24 and falls at his feet and says, “On me, my lord, the iniquity; and please let your handmaid speak in your ear, and hear the words of your handmaid.
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 Please do not let my lord set his heart to this man of worthlessness, on Nabal, for as his name [is] so [is] he; Nabal [is] his name, and folly [is] with him; and I, your handmaid, did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent;
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, YHWH lives, and your soul lives, in that YHWH has withheld you from coming in with blood, and to save your hand from yourself—now let your enemies be as Nabal, even those seeking evil toward my lord.
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 blessing which your maidservant has brought to my lord—it has been given to the young men who are going up and down at the feet of 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 Please bear with the transgression of your handmaid, for YHWH certainly makes a steadfast house for my lord; for my lord has fought the battles of YHWH, and evil is not found in you [all] your 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 man rises to pursue you and to seek your soul, and the soul of my lord has been bound in the bundle of life with your God YHWH; as for the soul of your enemies, He slings them out in the midst of the hollow 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 has been, when YHWH does to my lord according to all the good which He has spoken concerning you, and appointed you for leader 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 is not to you for a stumbling-block, and for an offense of heart to my lord—either to shed blood for nothing, or my lord’s restraining himself; and YHWH has done good to my lord, and you have remembered your handmaid.”
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 says to Abigail, “Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, who has sent you to meet me this day,
David odgovori Abigajili: “Neka je blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, koji te danas poslao meni u susret!
33 and blessed [is] your discretion, and blessed [are] you in that you have restrained me this day from coming in with blood, and to restrain my hand to myself.
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 And yet, YHWH lives, God of Israel, who has kept me back from doing evil with you, for unless you had hurried, and come to meet me, surely there had not been left to Nabal until the morning light, of those sitting on the wall.”
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 receives from her hand that which she has brought to him, and he has said to her, “Go up in peace to your house; see, I have listened to your voice, and accept your face.”
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 Abigail comes to Nabal, and behold, he has a banquet in his house, like a banquet of the king, and the heart of Nabal [is] glad within him, and he [is] drunk to excess, and she has not declared anything to him, little or much, 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 And it comes to pass in the morning, when the wine is gone out from Nabal, that his wife declares these things to him, and his heart dies within him, and he has been 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 comes to pass [in] about ten days, that YHWH strikes Nabal and he dies,
A desetak dana poslije toga Jahve udari Nabala te umrije.
39 and David hears that Nabal [is] dead and says, “Blessed [is] YHWH who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and His servant has kept back from evil, and YHWH has turned back the wickedness of Nabal on his own head”; and David sends and speaks with Abigail, to take her to himself for a 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 come to Abigail at Carmel, and speak to her, saying, “David has sent us to you to take you to himself for a wife.”
Davidove sluge dođoše k Abigajili u Karmel i rekoše joj: “David nas je poslao k tebi da te uzme sebi za ženu.”
41 And she rises and bows herself—face to the earth—and says, “Behold, your handmaid [is] for a maidservant 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 Abigail hurries and rises, and rides on the donkey; and [there are] five of her young women who are going at her feet; and she goes after the messengers of David, and is to him for a 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 And David has taken Ahinoam from Jezreel, and they are—even both of them—for wives to him;
I Ahinoamom iz Jizreela bijaše se oženio David i obje mu bjehu žene.
44 and Saul gave his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Phalti son of Laish, who [is] of Gallim.
Jer Šaul bijaše svoju kćer Mikalu, Davidovu ženu, dao Paltiju, sinu Lajiša iz Galima.
