2 Samuel 17
1 Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Let me now choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David tonight.
Još reèe Ahitofel Avesalomu: da odaberem dvanaest tisuæa ljudi, pa da idem i tjeram Davida noæas.
2 And I will catch up with him while he is weary and discouraged, and will thow him into a panic, and all the people who are with him will flee. And I will strike the king alone.
Pa æu ga stignuti dok je umoran i iznemoglijeh ruku; i uplašiæu ga, te æe pobjeæi sav narod što je s njim, pa æu ubiti cara samoga.
3 Then all the people will come back to you, as a bride returns to her husband. You seek the life of only one man; then all the people will be in peace."
I obratiæu sav narod k tebi; jer za onijem koga tražiš stoji da se svi vrate k tebi; tada æe se sav narod umiriti.
4 And the advice seemed good to Absalom and all the elders of Israel.
I to se uèini dobro Avesalomu i svijem starješinama Izrailjevijem.
5 Then Absalom said, "Now call Hushai the Archite, and let's hear what he says."
Ali reèe Avesalom: dozovite i Husaja Arhijanina da èujemo što æe i on reæi.
6 When Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom said to him, "Ahithophel has spoken thus. Should we follow his advice? And if not, speak up."
A kad doðe Husaj k Avesalomu, reèe mu Avesalom govoreæi: tako i tako reèe Ahitofel; hoæemo li èiniti kako on reèe ili neæemo? kaži ti.
7 So Hushai said to Absalom, "The counsel that Ahithophel has given this time is not good."
A Husaj reèe Avesalomu: nije dobar svjet što je sada svjetovao Ahitofel.
8 Moreover, Hushai said, "You know your father and his men, that they are warriors, and that they are as fierce as a bear robbed of her cubs in the wild, or a sow snared in the wild. Your father is expert in war, and will not camp with the people.
Još reèe Husaj: ti znaš oca svojega i ljude njegove da su hrabri i da su ljuta srca kao medvjedica kad joj otmu medvjediæe u polju; svrh toga, tvoj je otac ratnik, neæe noæiti s narodom.
9 Look, he is now hidden in some pit, or in some other place. And it will happen when some of them have fallen first, that whoever hears it will say, 'There is a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.'
Gle, on se je sada sakrio u kaku jamu ili na drugo kako mjesto. Pa ako u prvi mah koji od ovijeh poginu, ko god èuje svaki æe reæi: pobijen je narod koji prista za Avesalomom.
10 Then even the one who is brave, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will utterly melt; for all Israel knows that your father is a warrior, and those who are with him are brave men.
A tada æe najhrabriji, u kojih je srce kao srce lavovo, klonuti. Jer sav Izrailj zna da je tvoj otac junak i da su hrabri koji su s njim.
11 But, I strongly advise as follows: Let all Israel be gathered to you from Dan to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea in number, and that you personally go into battle.
Zato ja svjetujem da skupiš k sebi sve Izrailjce od Dana do Virsaveje da ih bude kao pijeska na moru, pa ti glavom idi u boj.
12 So we will come upon him in some place where he can be found, and we will fall on him as the dew falls on the ground, and of him and all the men with him not one will be left.
Tada æemo poæi na nj, gdje bi se god nalazio, i napašæemo na nj kao što rosa pada na zemlju, da mu ne ostane nijedan od svijeh ljudi što su s njim.
13 Moreover, if he withdraws into a city, then all Israel will take up ropes to that city, and we will drag it into the riverbed, until there isn't one pebble to be found there."
Ako li uteèe u grad, sav narod Izrailjski neka donese uža pod onaj grad, pa æemo ga svuæi u potok, da se ni kamen ne naðe ondje.
14 Then Absalom and all Israel said, "The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel." For the LORD had commanded that Ahithophel's counsel should be defeated, so that that the LORD could bring Absalom to ruin.
Tada reèe Avesalom i svi Izrailjci: bolji je svjet Husaja Arhijanina nego svjet Ahitofelov. Jer Gospod bješe naredio da se razbije svjet Ahitofelov, koji bješe bolji, da bi Gospod navukao zlo na Avesaloma.
15 Then Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the cohanim, "Here is the council Ahithophel gave Absalom and the elders of Israel, and here is what I counseled.
Potom reèe Husaj sveštenicima Sadoku i Avijataru: tako i tako svjetova Ahitofel Avesaloma i starješine Izrailjeve, a ja svjetovah tako i tako.
16 Now therefore send quickly and tell David, saying, 'Do not stay the night at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over. Otherwise the king and all the people who are with him will be swallowed up.'"
Nego brže pošljite, te javite Davidu i recite: nemoj noæas noæiti u polju u pustinji, nego prijeði prijeko, da ne bude proždrt car i sav narod što je s njim.
17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En Rogel, and a female servant was to go and tell them, and they would go and inform king David. For they were not to be seen going into the city.
A Jonatan i Ahimas stajahu kod studenca Rogila, i doðe jedna sluškinja i kaza im, da bi otišli te javili caru Davidu; jer se ne smijahu pokazati ni uæi u grad.
18 But a young man saw them and told Absalom. So they both departed quickly and reached the house of a man in Bahurim who had a well in his courtyard, and they went down into it.
Ali ih vidje jedan momak, te kaza Avesalomu; a oni obojica brže otidoše, i doðoše u Vaurim u kuæu jednoga èovjeka, koji imaše na dvoru studenac, te se spustiše u nj.
19 And the woman took a covering and spread it over the top of the well and scattered some grain on it, so that nothing could be noticed.
I žena uze i razastrije ponjavu povrh studenca, i povrh nje razasu prekrupu. I tako se ne dozna.
20 Then Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house, and they asked, "Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?" And the woman said to them, "They have crossed the brook of water." And when they had searched and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
Jer doðoše sluge Avesalomove k onoj ženi u kuæu, i rekoše joj: gdje je Ahimas i Jonatan? A žena im reèe: otidoše preko potoka. Tako traživši i ne našavši vratiše se u Jerusalim.
21 It came about after they had left that they climbed out of the well, and left and told king David. And they said to him, "Get up and cross quickly over the water, for Ahithophel has given such and such counsel against you."
A kad otidoše, oni ižljezoše iz studenca, i otidoše te javiše caru Davidu, i rekoše mu: ustanite i prijeðite brže preko vode; jer je tako i tako svjetovao Ahitofel na vas.
22 Then David and all the people who were with him got up and they crossed the Jordan. By dawn there was no one left who had not crossed the Jordan.
Tada usta David i sav narod što bijaše s njim, i prijeðoše preko Jordana prije zore, ne osta nijedan da ne prijeðe preko Jordana.
23 Now when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey and went up to his home in his city. Then he set his house in order and hanged himself, and he died and was buried in the tomb of his father.
Ahitofel pak videæi gdje se ne uèini kako on svjetova, osedla svojega magarca, pa se podiže i otide kuæi svojoj, u svoj grad, i naredivši za svoju kuæu objesi se te umrije, i bi pogreben u grobu oca svojega.
24 Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom crossed the Jordan, he and all Israel with him.
A David doðe u Mahanajim; Avesalom pak prijeðe preko Jordana i sav Izrailj što bješe s njim.
25 And Absalom had put Amasa over the army in place of of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Jether the Ishmaelite, who had married Abigail the daughter of Jesse, sister to Zeruiah, Joab's mother.
I postavi Avesalom Amasu nad vojskom, na mjesto Joavovo; a Amasa bješe sin nekoga èovjeka po imenu Itre Izrailjca, koji obleža Avigeju kæer Nasovu, sestru Seruje matere Joavove.
26 So Israel and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.
I stade u oko Izrailj s Avesalomom u zemlji Galadovoj.
27 Now it happened when David came to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the people of Ammon, Makir the son of Ammiel of Lo Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
A kad doðe David u Mahanajim, Sovije sin Nasov iz Rave sinova Amonovijeh i Mahir sin Amilov iz Lodevara i Varzelaj od Galada iz Rogelima
28 brought couches for sleeping, and covers, and basins, and pottery utensils, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and parched grain, and beans, and lentils,
Donesoše postelje i èaša i sudova zemljanijeh i pšenice i jeèma i brašna i prekrupe i boba i leæa i prženijeh zrna,
29 and honey, and curd of the flock, and cheese of the herd. And they presented them to David and to the people who were with him to eat. For they said, "The people are hungry and tired and thirsty in the wilderness."
I meda i masla i ovaca i sira kravljega; donesoše Davidu i narodu što bješe s njim da jedu. Jer govorahu: narod je gladan i umoran i žedan u toj pustinji.
