2 Samuel 19

1 It was told Joab, "Look, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom."

To je bilo povedano Joábu: »Glej, kralj joka in žaluje za Absalomom.«

2 The victory that day was turned into mourning to all the people; for the people heard it said that day, "The king grieves for his son."

Zmaga tega dne je bila obrnjena v žalovanje vsemu ljudstvu, kajti ljudstvo je tisti dan slišalo govoriti, kako je bil kralj užaloščen zaradi svojega sina.

3 So the people went quietly into the city that day, the way that people who are humiliated creep away when fleeing in battle.

Ljudstvo se je tisti dan skrivoma spravilo v mesto, kakor se ljudstvo, ki je osramočeno, odplazi, ko v boju zbeži.

4 The king covered his face, and he cried with a loud voice, "My son Absalom, Absalom, my son."

Toda kralj je pokril svoj obraz in kralj je jokal z močnim glasom: »Oh moj sin Absalom, oh Absalom, moj sin, moj sin!«

5 Then Joab went into the house to the king, and said, "Today you have humiliated the faces of all your servants, who have this day saved your life and the lives of your sons and of your daughters and the lives of your wives and the lives of your secondary wives;

Joáb je prišel v hišo h kralju in rekel: »Ta dan si osramotil obraze vseh svojih služabnikov, ki so ta dan rešili tvoje življenje in življenja tvojih sinov in tvojih hčera in življenja tvojih soprog in življenja tvojih priležnic,

6 by loving those who hate you and hating those who love you. For you have made it clear today that commanders and servants are nothing to you. For you know that if Absalom were alive today, and all of us had died, then you would be pleased.

v tem, da ti ljubiš svoje sovražnike in sovražiš svoje prijatelje. Kajti ta dan si oznanil, da se ne oziraš niti na prince niti na služabnike, kajti ta dan zaznavam, da če bi Absalom živel in bi ta dan mi vsi umrli, potem bi ti to dobro ugajalo.

7 Now therefore get up, go out and speak kindly to your servants. For I swear by the LORD, if you do not go out, not a man will remain with you this night, and that will be worse for you than all the evil that has happened to you from your youth until now."

Zdaj torej vstani, pojdi naprej in tolažilno govori svojim služabnikom, kajti prisegam pri Gospodu, če ne greš naprej, to noč nobeden ne bo ostal s teboj in huje ti bo kakor vse zlo, ki te je zadelo od tvoje mladosti do sedaj.«

8 So the king got up and sat at the gate. And all the people were informed, saying, "Look, the king is sitting at the gate." And all the people came before the king. Meanwhile, Israel had fled each man to his tent.

Potem je kralj vstal in se usedel pri velikih vratih. In vsemu ljudstvu so povedali, rekoč: »Glejte, kralj sedi pri velikih vratih.« Vse ljudstvo je prišlo pred kralja, kajti Izrael je zbežal vsak mož k svojemu šotoru.

9 All the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines, but now he has fled from the land and from being over his kingdom.

Vse ljudstvo je bilo nesložno po vseh Izraelovih rodovih, rekoč: »Kralj nas je rešil iz roke naših sovražnikov in nas osvobodil iz roke Filistejcev; sedaj pa je zaradi Absaloma pobegnil iz dežele.

10 And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why do you not speak a word of bringing the king back?" And the talk of all Israel came to the king.

Absalom, ki smo ga mazilili nad seboj, je mrtev v bitki. Zdaj torej, zakaj ne spregovorite besedo o privedbi kralja nazaj?«

11 So king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, "Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, 'Why are you the last to bring the king back to his palace?

Kralj David je poslal k duhovnikoma Cadóku in Abjatárju, rekoč: »Govorita Judovim starešinam, rekoč: ›Zakaj ste zadnji, da bi privedli kralja nazaj v njegovo hišo, glede na to, da je govor vsega Izraela prišel do kralja, celó k njegovi hiši.

12 You are my brothers, you are my bone and my flesh. Why then are you the last to bring back the king?'

Vi ste moji bratje, vi ste moje kosti in moje meso. Zakaj ste potem zadnji, da kralja pripeljete nazaj?‹

13 And say to Amasa, 'Aren't you my bone and my flesh? Now then, God do so to me, and more also, if you aren't commander of the army before me continually in place of Joab. '"

In Amasáju recite: › Ali nisi ti od moje kosti in od mojega mesa? Bog naj mi tako stori in še več, če ne boš nenehno pred menoj poveljnik vojske na Joábovem položaju.‹«

14 Thus the heart of all the men of Judah was inclined as one man, so that they sent a message to the king, "Return, you and all your servants."

In nagnil je srce vseh Judovih mož, celo kakor srce enega človeka, tako da so kralju poslali to besedo: »Vrni se ti in vsi tvoji služabniki.«

15 So the king returned and came to the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, having come down to meet the king, to bring the king across the Jordan.

Tako se je kralj vrnil in prišel k Jordanu. In Juda je prišel v Gilgál, da gre, da sreča kralja, da spremi kralja čez Jordan.

16 And Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite who was from Bahurim, hurried and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David,

In Šimí, Gerájev sin, Benjaminovec, ki je bil iz Bahuríma, je pohitel in prišel dol z Judovimi možmi, da sreča kralja Davida.

17 and a thousand men from Benjamin with him. But Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him, waded through the Jordan ahead of the king,

Tam je bilo z njim tisoč mož iz Benjamina in Cibá, služabnik Savlove hiše in njegovih petnajst sinov in njegovih dvajset služabnikov z njim in pred kraljem so šli čez Jordan.

18 and did the work of bringing the king across and to do whatever he wished. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, when he crossed the Jordan.

Tam je šla čez rečna ladja, da prenese čez kraljevo družino in da stori, kar se mu je zdelo dobro. Gerájev sin Šimí pa je padel dol pred kraljem, ko je ta hotel iti čez Jordan

19 Then he said to the king, "May my lord not consider punishment. Do not remember what your servant did wrong on the day when my lord the king left Jerusalem, so that the king should call it to mind.

in kralju rekel: »Naj moj gospod krivičnosti ne pripiše meni niti se ne spominjaj tega, kar je tvoj služabnik sprevrženo storil tistega dne, ko je moj gospod kralj odšel iz Jeruzalema, da bi si to kralj vzel k srcu.

20 For your servant knows that I have sinned. Therefore, look, I have come today the first of all the house of Joseph to come down to meet my lord the king."

Kajti tvoj služabnik ve, da sem grešil. Glej, zato sem ta dan prvi prišel iz vse Jožefove hiše, da grem dol, da srečam svojega gospoda kralja.«

21 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah replied, "Should not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD's anointed?"

Toda Cerújin sin Abišáj je odgovoril in rekel: »Ali ne bo Šimí usmrčen zaradi tega, ker je preklinjal Gospodovega maziljenca?«

22 But David replied, "What does this have to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should become my adversaries today? Should anyone be put to death in Israel today? For do you not know that today I begin to rule over Israel?"

David pa je rekel: »Kaj imam z vama, vidva, Cerújina sinova, da bi mi bila ta dan nasprotnika? Ali naj bo ta dan kdorkoli usmrčen v Izraelu? Kajti ali ne vem, da sem ta dan kralj nad Izraelom?«

23 Then the king said to Shimei, "You will not die." And the king gave him his oath.

Zato je kralj rekel Šimíju: »Ne boš umrl.« In kralj mu je prisegel.

24 Now Mippibaal son of Jonathan son of Saul came down to meet the king, and he had neither cared for his feet nor trimmed his beard nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came back safely.

Savlov sin Mefibóšet je prišel dol, da sreča kralja in niti ni obul svojih stopal, niti ni postrigel svoje brade, niti ni umil svojih oblačil od dneva, ko je kralj odpotoval, do dneva, ko je ponovno prišel v miru.

25 And it happened when he came to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, "Why did you not go with me, Mippibaal?"

Pripetilo se je, ko je prišel v Jeruzalem, da sreča kralja, da mu je kralj rekel: »Zakaj nisi šel z menoj, Mefibóšet?«

26 So he answered, "My lord king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said to him, 'Saddle a donkey for me so that I may ride on it and go with the king,' for your servant is lame.

Ta je odgovoril: »Moj gospod, oh kralj, moj služabnik me je zavedel, kajti tvoj služabnik je rekel: ›Osedlal si bom osla, da bom lahko jahal na njem in šel h kralju, ker je tvoj služabnik hrom.‹

27 And he has slandered your servant to my lord the king. But my lord the king did that which was good in my eyes, like an angel of God.

In ta je obrekoval tvojega služabnika mojemu gospodu kralju, toda moj gospod kralj je kakor angel od Boga. Stôri torej, kar je dobro v tvojih očeh.

28 For though all my father's house were but men doomed to death before my lord the king, yet you placed your servant among those who eat at your table. From whom, then, could I have finer treatment?" But when he cried out to the king,

Kajti vsi iz hiše mojega očeta so bili le kot mrtvi možje pred mojim gospodom kraljem, vendar si svojega služabnika postavil med tiste, ki so jedli pri tvoji lastni mizi. Kakšno pravico imam torej, da še kakorkoli kličem h kralju?«

29 the king said, "Why do you multiply your words? I say: You and Ziba divide the property."

Kralj mu je rekel: »Zakaj še govoriš o svojih zadevah? Rekel sem: ›Ti in Cibá si razdelita deželo.‹«

30 And Mippibaal said to the king, "Yes, let him take it all, since my lord the king has come safely home."

Mefibóšet je rekel kralju: »Da, naj on vzame vse, potem ko se je moj gospod kralj v miru ponovno vrnil v svojo lastno hišo.«

31 Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim, and he went with the king to conduct him from the Jordan.

Gileádec Barziláj je prišel dol iz Roglíma in s kraljem odšel čez Jordan, da ga spremi čez Jordan.

32 Now Barzillai was a very old man, eighty years old; and he had provided for the king while he was staying at Mahanaim, for he was a very rich man.

Torej Barziláj je bil zelo ostarel mož, star celó osemdeset let. Kralju je priskrbel oskrbo, medtem ko je ta ležal pri Mahanájimu, kajti bil je zelo izjemen človek.

33 And the king said to Barzillai, "Come over with me, and I will provide for your old age in Jerusalem with me."

Kralj je rekel Barziláju: »Z menoj pridi čez in hranil te bom v Jeruzalemu.«

34 But Barzillai said to the king, "How many more days would I have there, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?

Barziláj pa je kralju rekel: »Doklej bom še živel, da bi s kraljem šel gor v Jeruzalem?

35 I am now eighty years old. Can I discern between good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear the voice of male and female singers? Why then should your servant be any further burden to my lord the king?

Ta dan sem star osemdeset let in ali lahko razločim med dobrim in zlom? Ali lahko tvoj služabnik okuša, kar jem ali kar pijem? Ali še lahko slišim glas prepevajočih mož in prepevajočih žensk? Zakaj bi bil torej tvoj služabnik še breme mojemu gospodu kralju?

36 Your servant will cross the Jordan with the king for a short distance. Why should the king compensate me in this way?

Tvoj služabnik bo s kraljem šel krajšo pot čez Jordan. Zakaj bi me kralj poplačal s takšno nagrado?

37 Please let your servant return, so that I may die in my own city near the tomb of my father and my mother. But look, here is your servant Kimham. Let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what seems good to you."

Naj se tvoj služabnik, prosim te, obrne nazaj, da lahko umrem v svojem lastnem mestu in pokopan bom poleg groba svojega očeta in svoje matere. Toda poglej svojega služabnika Kimháma. Naj gre on preko z mojim gospodom kraljem in stôri mu, kakor se ti zdi dobro.«

38 And the king answered, "Kimham will go over with me, and I will do for him whatever I consider appropriate, and whatever you require of me I will do for you."

Kralj je odgovoril: »Kimhám bo z menoj šel preko in storil mu bom to, kar se ti zdi dobro in karkoli boš zahteval od mene, to bom storil zate.«

39 All the people crossed over the Jordan, but the king remained. Then the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned to his own place.

In vse ljudstvo je šlo čez Jordan. Ko je kralj prišel čez, je kralj poljubil Barzilája in ga blagoslovil, in ta se je vrnil na svoj lasten kraj.

40 So the king went over to Gilgal, and Kimham went over with him. All the people of Judah brought the king over, and also half the people of Israel.

Potem je kralj odšel naprej h Gilgálu in Kimhám je z njim odšel naprej in vse Judovo ljudstvo je spremilo kralja in tudi polovica Izraelovega ljudstva.

41 Look, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, "Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away, and brought the king, and his household, over the Jordan, and all David's men with him?"

Glej, vsi Izraelovi možje so prišli h kralju in kralju rekli: »Zakaj so te naši bratje, Judovi možje, ukradli in privedli kralja, njegovo družino in vse Davidove može z njim, čez Jordan?«

42 The men of Judah answered the men of Israel, "Because the king is a close relative to us. Why then are you angry about this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king's cost? Has he given us a gift? Or has he brought us a portion?"

In vsi možje iz Juda so Izraelovim možem odgovorili: »Ker nam je kralj bližnji sorodnik. Zakaj ste potem jezni zaradi te zadeve? Ali smo sploh jedli na kraljeve stroške? Ali nam je dal kakršnokoli darilo?«

43 Then the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, "We have ten shares in the king, and we are the firstborn rather than you. Why then did you treat us with contempt? Were we not the first to speak of bringing back our king?" But the comments of the men of Judah were more forceful than the comments of the men of Israel.

Izraelovi možje so odgovorili Judovim možem in rekli: »V kralju imamo deset delov in mi imamo več pravice do Davida kakor vi. Čemu nas potem prezirate, da naš nasvet ne bi bil prvi v tem, da smo svojega kralja privedli nazaj?« In besede mož iz Juda so bile trše kakor besede mož iz Izraela.
