2 Samuel 16

1 Now when David was a little past the top, look, Ziba the servant of Mippibaal met him with a couple of donkeys saddled, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred of summer fruits, and a container 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 to Ziba, "Why did you bring these things?" And Ziba replied, "The donkeys are for the king's household to ride on, and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine is for those who get exhausted in the desert."

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 Then the king said, "Where is your master's son?" Ziba said to the king, "Look, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, 'Today the children of Israel will restore to 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 the king said to Ziba, "Look, all that pertains to Mippibaal is yours." Ziba said, "I humbly bow. May I find favor in the sight of my lord the 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 reached Bahurim, now look, a man of the family of the house of Saul came out, whose name was Shimei the son of Gera. He came out and cursed continuously as he approached.

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 threw stones at David and at all his servants, and all the people and all the soldiers at his right hand and at 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 Shimei said as he cursed, "Get out, get out, you man of blood, and worthless man.

Tako je govoril Šimí, ko je preklinjal: »Pridi ven, pridi ven, ti, krvoločen človek in ti, Beliálov človek.

8 The LORD has returned on you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and the LORD has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. And look, your evil is upon you, because you are a man of bloodshed."

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 Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please let me go over and take off 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 The king said, "What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Because he curses, and because the LORD has said to him, 'Curse David;' who then shall say, 'Why have you 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 Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, "Look, my son who came from my body seeks my life. So also now this Benjamite. Leave him alone and let him curse, for the LORD has told him to.

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 return good to me for his cursing today."

Morda bo Gospod pogledal na mojo stisko in da mi bo Gospod poplačal dobro za njegovo preklinjanje ta dan.«

13 So David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him, and cursed as he went, threw stones at his flank, and threw dirt.

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 Now the king and all his people arrived weary at the Jordan, and he refreshed himself there.

Kralj in vse ljudstvo, ki so bili z njim, so prišli izmučeni in se tam osvežili.

15 Now Absalom and all the men of Israel arrived in Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.

Absalom in vse ljudstvo Izraelovih mož pa so prišli v Jeruzalem in Ahitófel z njim.

16 And it came about when David's friend Hushai the Archite came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, "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 So Absalom said to Hushai, "Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?"

Absalom je rekel Hušáju: » Ali je to tvoja prijaznost do tvojega prijatelja? Zakaj nisi šel s svojim prijateljem?«

18 Then Hushai said to Absalom, "No, but whom the LORD and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I belong, and with him I will stay.

Hušáj je rekel Absalomu: »Ne, temveč katerega Gospod in to ljudstvo in vsi Izraelovi možje izberejo, njegov bom in z njim bom ostal.

19 Again, whom should I serve? Shouldn't I serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father's presence, so will I be in your 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 Absalom said to Ahithophel, "Give your counsel. What should we do?"

Potem je Absalom rekel Ahitófelu: »Dajte nasvet med vami, kaj naj storimo.«

21 Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Go in to your father's secondary wives, that he has left to care for the palace. Then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself a stench to your father. Then those on your side will be motivated to support you."

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 set up a tent for Absalom on the roof, and Absalom went in to his father's secondary wives in the sight of all Israel.

Tako so Absalomu razprostrli šotor na vrhu hiše in Absalom je šel v priležnice svojega očeta pred očmi vsega Izraela.

23 Now in those days the counsel that Ahithophel gave was as if one inquired of the word of God. So was all the counsel of Ahithophel both to David and to Absalom.

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.
