2 Samuel 19
1 And it is declared to Joab, “Behold, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom”;
I javiše Joabu: “Eno kralj plače i tuguje za Abšalomom.”
2 and the salvation on that day becomes mourning to all the people, for the people have heard on that day, saying, “The king has been grieved for his son.”
Tako se pobjeda u onaj dan pretvorila u žalost za svu vojsku, jer je vojska čula u onaj dan da kralj tuguje za svojim sinom.
3 And the people steals away, on that day, to go into the city, as the people steal away, who are ashamed, in their fleeing in battle;
I toga se dana vojskom kradom vrati u grad, kao što se kradom šulja vojska koja se osramotila bježeći iz boja.
4 and the king has covered his face, indeed, the king cries [with] a loud voice, “My son Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!”
A kralj je pokrio svoje lice i vapio iza glasa: “Sine moj Abšalome! Abšalome, sine moj! Sine moj!”
5 And Joab comes into the house to the king and says, “Today you have put to shame the faces of all your servants, those delivering your life today, and the life of your sons, and of your daughters, and the life of your wives, and the life of your concubines,
Tada Joab dođe kralju u kuću i reče mu: “Postiđuješ danas lice svih svojih slugu koji su danas spasili život tebi, život tvojim sinovima i tvojim kćerima, život tvojim ženama i život inočama tvojim,
6 to love your enemies, and to hate those loving you, for today you have declared that you have no princes and servants, for today I have known that if Absalom [were] alive, and all of us dead today, that then it were right in your eyes.
jer iskazuješ ljubav onima koji te mrze, a mržnju onima koji te ljube. Danas si pokazao da ti ništa nije ni do vojvoda ni do vojnika, jer vidim sada da bi ti sasvim pravo bilo kad bi Abšalom bio živ, a mi svi da smo danas poginuli.
7 And now, rise, go out and speak to the heart of your servants, for I have sworn by YHWH, that [if] you are not going out—there does not lodge a man with you tonight; and this [is] worse for you than all the evil that has come on you from your youth until now.”
Zato sada ustani, iziđi i prijazno progovori svojim vojnicima; jer, kunem ti se Jahvom, ako ne iziđeš, nijedan čovjek neće ostati noćas s tobom, i to će ti biti veća nesreća od svih koje su te snašle od tvoje mladosti pa do sada.”
8 And the king rises, and sits in the gate, and they have declared to all the people, saying, “Behold, the king is sitting in the gate”; and all the people come in before the king, and Israel has fled, each to his tents.
Kralj ustade i sjede na vrata. Javiše to svemu narodu govoreći: “Eno kralj sjedi na vratima.” I sav narod dođe pred kralja. A Izraelci bijahu pobjegli svaki u svoj šator.
9 And it comes to pass, all the people are contending through all the tribes of Israel, saying, “The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, indeed, he himself delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines, and now he has fled out of the land because of Absalom,
I sav se narod po svim Izraelovim plemenima prepirao govoreći: “Kralj nas je izbavio iz ruku naših neprijatelja, on nas je izbavio iz ruku filistejskih, a sada je morao pobjeći iz zemlje ispred Abšaloma.
10 and Absalom whom we anointed over us [is] dead in battle, and now, why are you silent—to bring back the king?”
A Abšalom koga smo pomazali za kralja poginuo je u boju. Zašto se, dakle, kolebate dovesti kralja natrag?”
11 And King David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, “Speak to [the] elderly of Judah, saying, Why are you last to bring back the king to his house, since the word of all Israel has come to the king, to his house;
Te riječi svega Izraela dopru do kralja u njegovu kuću. Zato kralj David poruči svećenicima Sadoku i Ebjataru: “Recite starješinama judejskim ovako: 'Zašto da vi budete posljednji koji će kralja dovesti u njegovu kuću?
12 you [are] my brothers, you [are] my bone and my flesh, and why are you last to bring back the king?
Vi ste moja braća, vi ste od moga mesa i od mojih kosti. Zašto biste, dakle, bili posljednji koji će dovesti kralja natrag?'
13 And say to Amasa, Are you not my bone and my flesh? Thus God does to me, and thus He adds, if you are not head of the host before me instead of Joab [for] all the days.”
Recite i Amasi: 'Nisi li ti od mojih kosti i od moga mesa? Neka mi Bog učini zlo i neka mi doda drugo ako mi ne budeš zauvijek vojvoda nad mojom vojskom namjesto Joaba!'”
14 And he inclines the heart of all the men of Judah as one man, and they send to the king, “Return, you and all your servants.”
Tada se složiše svi ljudi Judina roda kao jedan čovjek i poručiše kralju: “Vrati se sa svim svojim ljudima!”
15 And the king turns back, and comes to the Jordan, and Judah has come to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan,
I tako se kralj vrati i dođe do Jordana, a Judejci bijahu stigli do Gilgala dolazeći u susret kralju da prate kralja na prijelazu preko Jordana.
16 and Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite, who [is] from Bahurim, hurries, and comes down with the men of Judah, to meet King David,
Tada je pohitio i Šimej, sin Gerin, Benjaminovac iz Bahurima, i sišao s Judejcima u susret kralju Davidu.
17 and one thousand men [are] with him from Benjamin, and Ziba servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him, and they have gone prosperously over the Jordan before the king.
Imao je sa sobom tisuću ljudi od Benjaminova plemena. I Siba, sluga Šaulova doma, sa petnaest svojih sinova i dvadeset svojih slugu, dođe do Jordana pred kralja.
18 And the ferry-boat has passed over to carry over the household of the king, and to do that which [is] good in his eyes, and Shimei son of Gera has fallen before the king in his passing over into the Jordan,
Dovezli su splav da prevezu kraljevu čeljad i da učine sve što bi mu bilo drago. A Gerin sin Šimej baci se pred noge kralju kad je kralj htio prijeći preko Jordana;
19 and he says to the king, “Do not let my lord impute iniquity to me; neither remember that which your servant did perversely in the day that my lord the king went out from Jerusalem—for the king to set [it] to his heart;
i reče kralju: “Neka mi moj gospodar ne upiše u grijeh! Ne opominji se zla što ti ga je učinio tvoj sluga u onaj dan kad je moj gospodar i kralj izlazio iz Jeruzalema. Neka to kralj ne uzima k srcu!
20 for your servant has known that I have sinned; and behold, I have come today, first of all the house of Joseph, to go down to meet my lord the king.”
Tvoj sluga uviđa da je sagriješio; zato sam, evo, došao danas prvi iz svega Josipova doma da siđem u susret svome gospodaru i kralju.”
21 And Abishai son of Zeruiah answers and says, “Is Shimei not put to death for this—because he reviled the anointed of YHWH?”
Ali Sarvijin sin Abišaj progovori i reče: “Zar Šimej ne zaslužuje smrt što je proklinjao pomazanika Jahvina?”
22 And David says, “And what do I [have to do] with you, O sons of Zeruiah, that today you are for an adversary to me? Is any man put to death in Israel today? For have I not known that today I [am] king over Israel?”
A David odgovori: “Što ja imam s vama, Sarvijini sinovi, te me danas uvodite u napast? Zar bi danas mogao tko biti pogubljen u Izraelu? TÓa sada znam da sam danas opet kralj nad Izraelom.”
23 And the king says to Shimei, “You do not die”; and the king swears to him.
Tada kralj reče Šimeju: “Nećeš poginuti!” I kralj mu se zakle.
24 And Mephibosheth son of Saul has come down to meet the king—and he did not prepare his feet, nor did he prepare his upper lip, indeed, he did not wash his garments, even from the day of the going away of the king, until the day that he came in peace—
I Šaulov sin Meribaal sišao je u susret kralju. On nije njegovao ni svojih nogu ni svojih ruku, nije uređivao svoje brade, nije prao svojih haljina od onoga dana kad je otišao kralj pa sve do dana kad se opet vratio u miru.
25 and it comes to pass, when he has come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king says to him, “Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?”
Kad je iz Jeruzalema došao u susret kralju, upita ga kralj: “Zašto nisi pošao sa mnom, Meribaale?”
26 And he says, “My lord, O king, my servant deceived me, for your servant said, I saddle the donkey for myself, and ride on it, and go with the king, for your servant [is] lame;
A on odgovori: “Kralju gospodaru! Moj me sluga prevario. Tvoj mu je sluga rekao: 'Osamari mi magaricu da je uzjašem i pođem s kraljem!' Jer tvoj je sluga hrom.
27 and he utters slander against your servant to my lord the king, and my lord the king [is] as a messenger of God; and do that which is good in your eyes,
On je oklevetao tvoga slugu pred mojim gospodarom i kraljem. Ali moj je gospodar i kralj kao Božji anđeo: zato čini što je dobro u tvojim očima.
28 for all the house of my father have been nothing except men of death before my lord the king, and you set your servant among those eating at your table, and what right do I have anymore—even to cry anymore to the king?”
Jer sav moj očinski dom nije bio drugo zaslužio nego smrt od moga gospodara kralja, a ti si ipak primio svoga slugu među one koji jedu za tvojim stolom. Pa kako još imam pravo tužiti se kralju?”
29 And the king says to him, “Why do you speak anymore of your matters? I have said, You and Ziba—share the field.”
A kralj mu odgovori: “Čemu da još duljiš svoj govor? Određujem: ti i Siba podijelite njive!”
30 And Mephibosheth says to the king, “Indeed, let him take the whole, after that my lord the king has come in peace to his house.”
Meribaal reče kralju: “Neka uzme i sve, kad se moj gospodar kralj sretno vratio u svoj dom!”
31 And Barzillai the Gileadite has gone down from Rogelim, and passes over the Jordan with the king, to send him away over the Jordan;
I Barzilaj Gileađanin dođe iz Rogelima i nastavi s kraljem da ga isprati preko Jordana.
32 and Barzillai [is] very aged, a son of eighty years, and he has sustained the king in his abiding in Mahanaim, for he [is] a very great man;
Barzilaj bijaše vrlo star, bilo mu je osamdeset godina. Pribavljao je kralju opskrbu dok je boravio u Mahanajimu jer bijaše vrlo imućan čovjek.
33 and the king says to Barzillai, “Pass over with me, and I have sustained you in Jerusalem with me.”
Kralj reče Barzilaju: “Pođi sa mnom, ja ću te u tvojim starim danima uzdržavati kod sebe u Jeruzalemu.”
34 And Barzillai says to the king, “How many [are] the days of the years of my life, that I go up with the king to Jerusalem?
A Barzilaj odgovori kralju: “A koliko mi još godina života ostaje da idem s kraljem u Jeruzalem?
35 I [am] a son of eighty years today; do I know between good and evil? Does your servant taste that which I am eating, and that which I drink? Do I listen anymore to the voice of male and female singers? And why is your servant for a burden to my lord the king anymore?
Sada mi je osamdeset godina; mogu li još razlikovati što je dobro a što zlo? Može li tvojem sluzi još goditi što jede i pije? Mogu li još slušati glas pjevača i pjevačica? Zašto bi tvoj sluga bio još na teret mome gospodaru kralju?
36 As a little thing, your servant passes over the Jordan with the king, and why does the king repay me this repayment?
Tvoj će sluga još samo prijeći preko Jordana s kraljem, ali zašto bi mi kralj dao takvu nagradu?
37 Please let your servant turn back again, and I die in my own city, near the burying-place of my father and of my mother—and behold, your servant Chimham, let him pass over with my lord the king, and do to him that which [is] good in your eyes.”
Dopusti svome sluzi da se vrati, da umrem u svom gradu kod groba svoga oca i svoje majke. Ali evo tvoga sluge Kimhama, neka ide dalje s mojim gospodarom kraljem, pa njemu učini što je dobro u tvojim očima!”
38 And the king says, “Chimham goes over with me, and I do to him that which [is] good in your eyes, indeed, all that you fix on me I do to you.”
Kralj odgovori: “Neka onda Kimham ide sa mnom dalje, a ja ću mu učiniti što bude tebi drago i što god me zamoliš sve ću mu učiniti za tebe.”
39 And all the people pass over the Jordan, and the king has passed over, and the king gives a kiss to Barzillai, and blesses him, and he turns back to his place.
Kad je sav narod prešao preko Jordana, prijeđe i kralj, poljubi Barzilaja i blagoslovi ga, potom se ovaj vrati u svoje mjesto.
40 And the king passes over to Gilgal, and Chimham has passed over with him, and all the people of Judah, and they bring over the king, and also the half of the people of Israel.
Kralj nastavi put u Gilgal, a Kimham iđaše s njim. Kralja je pratio sav narod Judin i polovina naroda Izraelova.
41 And behold, all the men of Israel are coming to the king, and they say to the king, “Why have our brothers, the men of Judah, stolen you—and they bring the king and his household over the Jordan, and all the men of David with him?”
Uto svi Izraelci dođu pred kralja i upitaju ga: “Zašto te naša braća Judejci ukradoše i zašto prevedoše preko Jordana našega kralja i njegov dom i sve Davidove ljude s njim?”
42 And all the men of Judah answer against the men of Israel, “Because the king [is] near to us, and why [is] this [that] you are displeased about this matter? Have we eaten of the king’s [substance] at all? Has he lifted up a gift to us?”
A Juda odgovori Izraelu: “Kralj je meni rod. Zašto si se ražestio zbog toga? Jesam li jeo na kraljev račun? Ili sam si što prigrabio?”
43 And the men of Israel answer the men of Judah, and say, “We have ten parts in the king, and also more than you in David; and why have you lightly esteemed us, that our word has not been first to bring back our king?” And the word of the men of Judah is sharper than the word of the men of Israel.
Tada Izrael odgovori Judi ovako: “Ja imam deset udjela na kralja i prema tebi ja sam prvorođenac. Zašto si me, dakle, prezreo? Nije li moja riječ bila prva kad je trebalo natrag dovesti moga kralja?” Ali govor Judin bijaše tvrđi od govora Izraelova.
