2 Samuel 14
1 And Joab son of Zeruial knows that the heart of the king [is] on Absalom,
A Joav sin Serujin opazi da se srce carevo obratilo k Avesalomu.
2 and Joab sends to Tekoah, and takes a wise woman from there, and says to her, “Please feign yourself a mourner, and now put on garments of mourning, and do not anoint yourself with oil, and you have been as a woman mourning for the dead [for] these many days,
I posla Joav u Tekuju te dozva otuda ženu lukavu, pa joj reèe: uèini se kao da si u žalosti, i obuci žalosne haljine, i nemoj se namazati uljem, nego budi kao žena koja odavna žali za mrtvijem.
3 and you have gone to the king, and spoken to him, according to this word”; and Joab puts the words into her mouth.
I otidi k caru, i govori mu tako i tako. I nauèi je Joav šta æe govoriti.
4 And the woman of Tekoah speaks to the king, and falls on her face to the earth, and pays respect, and says, “Save, O king.”
I kad otide žena Tekujanka k caru da govori, pade nièice na zemlju i pokloni se, i reèe: pomagaj, care!
5 And the king says to her, “What do you [want]?” And she says, “I [am] truly a widow woman, and my husband dies,
A car joj reèe: što ti je? A ona reèe: udovica sam, umro mi je muž.
6 and your maidservant has two sons; and both of them strive in a field, and there is no deliverer between them, and one strikes the other, and puts him to death;
A imaše sluškinja tvoja dva sina, pa se svadiše u polju, a ne bješe nikoga da ih razvadi, te jedan udari drugoga i ubi ga.
7 and behold, the whole family has risen against your maidservant, and say, Give up him who strikes his brother, and we put him to death for the life of his brother whom he has slain, and we also destroy the heir; and they have quenched my coal which is left—so as not to set a name and remnant on the face of the ground for my husband.”
I gle, sav dom usta na sluškinju tvoju govoreæi: daj toga što je ubio brata svojega da ga pogubimo za dušu brata njegova, kojega je ubio, i da istrijebimo našljednika; i tako hoæe da ugase iskru koja mi je ostala, da ne ostave imena mužu mojemu ni ostatka na zemlji.
8 And the king says to the woman, “Go to your house, and I give charge concerning you.”
A car reèe ženi: idi kuæi svojoj, a ja æu narediti za te.
9 And the woman of Tekoah says to the king, “On me, my lord, O king, [is] the iniquity, and on the house of my father; and the king and his throne [are] innocent.”
A žena Tekujanka reèe caru: care gospodaru! neka na me i na dom oca mojega padne krivica, a car i njegov prijesto neka je prav.
10 And the king says, “He who speaks to you, and you have brought him to me, then he does not add to come against you anymore.”
A car reèe: ko uzgovori na te, dovedi ga k meni, i neæe te se više dotaæi.
11 And she says, “Please let the king remember by your God YHWH, that the redeemer of blood does not add to destroy, and they do not destroy my son”; and he says, “YHWH lives; if there falls [even one] hair of your son to the earth.”
A ona reèe: neka se opomene car Gospoda Boga svojega, da se ne umnože osvetnici koji ubijaju, i da ne ubiju sina mojega. A on reèe: tako živ bio Gospod, nijedna dlaka s tvojega sina neæe pasti na zemlju.
12 And the woman says, “Please let your maidservant speak a word to my lord the king”; and he says, “Speak.”
A žena reèe: da kaže sluškinja tvoja nešto caru gospodaru. A on reèe: govori.
13 And the woman says, “And why have you thought thus concerning the people of God? Indeed, the king is speaking this thing as a guilty one, in that the king has not brought back his outcast;
A žena reèe: a zašto si namislio taku stvar narodu Božijemu? jer car kao da je kriv govoreæi tako, jer neæe car da dozove natrag onoga koga je odagnao.
14 for we surely die, and [are] as water which is running down to the earth, which is not gathered, and God does not accept a person, and has devised plans in that the outcast is not outcast by Him.
Jer æemo doista pomrijeti, i jesmo kao voda koja se prospe na zemlju i više se ne može skupiti; jer mu Bog nije uzeo života, nego je naumio da odagnani ne ostane odagnan od njega.
15 And now that I have come to speak this word to my lord the king, [it is] because the people made me afraid, and your maidservant says, Please let me speak to the king; it may be the king does the word of his handmaid,
I tako doðoh da kažem ovo caru gospodaru svojemu, jer me narod uplaši; zato reèe sluškinja tvoja: da govorim caru, može biti da æe uèiniti car što sluškinja njegova kaže.
16 for the king listens to deliver his handmaid out of the paw of the man [seeking] to destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God,
Jer æe car uslišiti i izbaviti sluškinju svoju iz ruke onoga koji hoæe da istrijebi mene i sina mojega iz našljedstva Božijega.
17 and your maidservant says, Please let the word of my lord the king be for ease; for as a messenger of God so [is] my lord the king, to understand the good and the evil; and your God YHWH is with you.”
I sluškinja tvoja reèe: rijeè cara gospodara mojega biæe mi utjeha, jer je car gospodar moj kao anðeo Božji, te sluša i dobro i zlo, i Gospod æe Bog tvoj biti s tobom.
18 And the king answers and says to the woman, “Please do not hide from me the thing that I am asking you”; and the woman says, “Please let my lord the king speak.”
A car odgovori i reèe ženi: nemoj tajiti od mene što æu te pitati. A žena reèe: neka govori car gospodar moj.
19 And the king says, “Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?” And the woman answers and says, “Your soul lives, my lord, O king, none [turn] to the right or to the left from all that my lord the king has spoken; for your servant Joab commanded me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your maidservant.
Tada car reèe: da nije Joavov posao u svemu tome što èiniš? A žena odgovori i reèe: tako da je živa duša tvoja, care gospodaru, ne može se ni nadesno ni nalijevo od svega što kaza car gospodar moj; jer sluga tvoj Joav zapovijedio mi je i nauèio sluškinju tvoju sve ovo da govorim.
20 Your servant Joab has done this thing in order to bring around the appearance of the thing, and my lord [is] wise, according to the wisdom of a messenger of God, to know all that [is] in the land.”
Sluga je tvoj Joav uèinio, te sam ovako izvila besjedu svoju; ali je gospodar moj mudar kao anðeo Božji, te zna sve što biva na zemlji.
21 And the king says to Joab, “Now behold, you have done this thing; and go, bring back the young man Absalom.”
Tada reèe car Joavu: evo, ti si uèinio to, idi, dovedi natrag dijete Avesaloma.
22 And Joab falls on his face to the earth, and pays respect, and blesses the king, and Joab says, “Today your servant has known that I have found grace in your eyes, my lord, O king, in that the king has done the word of his servant.”
Tada pade Joav licem na zemlju, i pokloni se i blagoslovi cara, i reèe Joav: danas vidi sluga tvoj da sam našao milost pred tobom, care gospodaru, kad je car uèinio što mu sluga njegov reèe.
23 And Joab rises and goes to Geshur, and brings in Absalom to Jerusalem,
Potom se podiže Joav i otide u Gesur, i dovede natrag u Jerusalim Avesaloma.
24 and the king says, “Let him turn around to his house, and he does not see my face.” And Absalom turns around to his house, and he has not seen the face of the king.
I car reèe: neka ide svojoj kuæi, a lica mojega da ne vidi. I otide Avesalom svojoj kuæi, i ne vidje lica careva.
25 And there was no man [so] beautiful in all Israel like Absalom, to praise greatly; from the sole of his foot even to his crown there was no blemish in him;
A ne bješe èovjeka tako lijepa kao Avesalom u svem Izrailju, da ga tako hvale; od pete do tjemena ne bješe na njemu mane.
26 and in his shaving his head—and it has been at the end of year by year that he shaves [it], for it [is] heavy on him, and he has shaved it—he has even weighed out the hair of his head—two hundred shekels by the king’s weight.
I kad bi strigao glavu a imaše obièaj svake godine striæi je, jer mu bijaše teško mjerio bi kosu s glave svoje, i bivaše je dvjesta sikala carskom mjerom.
27 And there are born to Absalom three sons and one daughter, and her name [is] Tamar; she was a woman of beautiful appearance.
I rodiše se Avesalomu tri sina i jedna kæi, kojoj bijaše ime Tamara, i ona bijaše lijepa.
28 And Absalom dwells in Jerusalem [for] two years of days, and he has not seen the face of the king;
I Avesalom osta cijele dvije godine u Jerusalimu, a lica careva ne vidje.
29 and Absalom sends to Joab, to send him to the king, and he has not been willing to come to him; and he sends again a second time, and he has not been willing to come.
Tada posla Avesalom po Joava da ga pošlje k caru; ali on ne htje doæi k njemu; i posla opet drugi put, ali on ne htje doæi.
30 And he says to his servants, “See, the portion of Joab [is] by the side of mine, and he has barley there; go and burn it with fire”; and the servants of Absalom burn the portion with fire.
Tada reèe slugama svojim: vidite li njivu Joavovu pored moje? na njoj je jeèam; idite i upalite je. I upališe sluge Avesalomove onu njivu.
31 And Joab rises and comes to Absalom in the house, and says to him, “Why have your servants burned the portion that I have with fire?”
Tada se podiže Joav, i doðe k Avesalomu u kuæu, i reèe mu: zašto sluge tvoje upališe moju njivu?
32 And Absalom says to Joab, “Behold, I sent to you, saying, Come here, and I send you to the king to say, Why have I come in from Geshur? [It was] good for me while I [was] there—and now, let me see the king’s face, and if there is iniquity in me then you have put me to death.”
Avesalom reèe Joavu: eto slao sam k tebi govoreæi: hodi ovamo da te pošljem k caru da mu kažeš: zašto sam došao iz Gesura? bolje bi bilo da sam još ondje. Zato da vidim lice carevo; ako li ima kaka krivica na meni, neka me pogubi.
33 And Joab comes to the king, and declares [it] to him, and he calls to Absalom, and he comes to the king, and bows himself to him, on his face, to the earth, before the king, and the king gives a kiss to Absalom.
I otide Joav k caru, i kaza mu. I dozva Avesaloma; a on došavši k caru pokloni se licem do zemlje pred carem, i car cjelova Avesaloma.
