1 Kings 1
1 Now king David was old and advanced in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he could not get warm.
Kralj David bijaše ostario i odmakao u godinama; premda su ga pokrivali mnogim pokrivačima, nije se mogao ugrijati.
2 Therefore his servants said to him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get warm.
Tada mu rekoše njegove sluge: “Trebalo bi potražiti za gospodara mladu djevojku koja bi dvorila kralja i služila mu: kad bude spavala na njegovu krilu, to će ugrijati kralja gospodara.”
3 So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the land of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
Potražiše, dakle, lijepu djevojku po svoj zemlji izraelskoj; i nađoše Abišagu Šunamku te je dovedoše kralju.
4 And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not.
Djevojka je bila izvanredno lijepa; njegovala je kralja i služila mu, ali je on ne upozna.
5 Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
Uto se Adonija, sin Hagitin, pooholi i pomisli: “Ja ću biti kralj!” Zato nabavi sebi kola i konjanika i pedeset ljudi koji su išli pred njim.
6 And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also was a very handsome man; and his mother bore him after Absalom.
Njegov ga otac za svoga života nikad nije ukorio niti ga kad upitao: “Zašto tako činiš?” Bio je, osim toga, stasit i lijep, a mati ga rodila poslije Abšaloma.
7 And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him.
On se dogovarao s Joabom, sinom Sarvijinim, i sa svećenikom Ebjatarom, pa se obojica priključiše Adoniji.
8 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.
Ali svećenik Sadok i Jojadin sin Benaja, prorok Natan, Šimej i Rei i junaci Davidovi ne pristadoše uz Adoniju.
9 And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by Enrogel, and invited all his brethren the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah the king’s servants:
Jednom nakla Adonija ovaca, volova i tovljene teladi za žrtvu kod Zoheledskog kamena, blizu izvora Rogela, te pozva svu svoju braću, sinove kraljeve, i sve Judejce u kraljevoj službi;
10 But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.
ali ne pozva proroka Natana, ni Benaje, ni ostalih junaka, a ni svoga brata Salomona.
11 Therefore Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not?
Tada reče Natan Bat-Šebi, majci Salomonovoj: “Zar nisi čula da je Adonija, sin Hagitin, postao kraljem, a da David, naš gospodar, o tome i ne zna?
12 Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thy own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.
Dođi da te savjetujem kako bi mogla spasiti život svoj i svoga sina Salomona.
13 Go and enter in to king David, and say to him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear to thy handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?
Hajde, otiđi kralju Davidu i reci mu: 'Zar se nisi ti, gospodaru moj kralju, zakleo svojoj službenici govoreći: Tvoj sin Salomon kraljevat će poslije mene, i on će sjediti na mome prijestolju! Kako sada Adonija posta kraljem?'
14 Behold, while thou art yet talking there with the king, I will also come in after thee, and confirm thy words.
I dok ti budeš ondje i razgovorala se s kraljem, doći ću ja za tobom i potvrditi tvoje riječi.”
15 And Bathsheba went to the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered to the king.
Bat-Šeba ode kralju u odaje - a on je bio vrlo star i Abišaga Šunamka služila mu.
16 And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance to the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?
Pokloni mu se Bat-Šeba i pade ničice pred kraljem, a kralj upita: “Što želiš?”
17 And she said to him, My lord, thou didst swear by the LORD thy God to thy handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.
Ona mu odgovori: “Gospodaru, ti si se zakleo službenici svojoj Jahvom, Bogom svojim: 'Tvoj sin Salomon kraljevat će poslije mene, on će sjesti na moje prijestolje.'
18 And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not:
A sada je, evo, Adonija postao kraljem, a ti, kralju, gospodaru moj, ništa o tome i ne znaš!
19 And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath invited all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not invited.
Naklao je on mnogo volova, tovljene teladi i ovaca za žrtvu i pozvao je sve sinove kraljeve, svećenika Ebjatara i vojskovođu Joaba, ali slugu tvoga Salomona nije pozvao.
20 And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
U tebe su sada, gospodaru moj i kralju, uprte oči svega Izraela da mu ti objaviš tko će te naslijediti na tvome prijestolju, kralju, gospodaru moj.
21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.
Inače, čim počine kralj, gospodar moj, kraj svojih otaca, ja i moj sin Salomon bit ćemo krivci.”
22 And, lo, while she was yet talking with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.
Dok je ona još govorila s kraljem, dođe prorok Natan.
23 And they told the king, saying, Behold Nathan the prophet. And when he had come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
Javiše kralju: “Ovdje je prorok Natan.” On uđe kralju i pade ničice pred njim.
24 And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?
Natan reče: “Gospodaru moj i kralju, jesi li ti odredio: 'Adonija će kraljevati poslije mene i sjedit će na mome prijestolju?'
25 For he hath gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath invited all the king’s sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah.
Jer evo danas je sišao i naklao volova, ugojene teladi i ovaca za žrtvu i pozvao je sve sinove kraljeve, vojskovođe i svećenika Ebjatara; eno ih gdje jedu i piju s njim i kliču: 'Živio kralj Adonija!'
26 But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not invited.
Ali mene, tvoga slugu, svećenika Sadoka, a ni Benaju, sina Jojadina, ni tvoga slugu Salomona nije pozvao.
27 Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shown it to thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?
Zar se to dogodilo s voljom gospodara moga kralja, a da nisi obavijestio svoga vjernog sluge tko će biti nasljednik na prijestolju gospodara moga kralja?”
28 Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king’s presence, and stood before the king.
Tada progovori David i reče: “Pozovite mi Bat-Šebu!” Ona dođe kralju i stupi preda nj.
29 And the king swore, and said, As the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,
Kralj se tada zakle: “Tako mi Jahve živoga koji me izbavio iz svih nevolja!
30 Even as I swore to thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.
Danas ću ti ispuniti kako sam ti se zakleo Jahvom, Bogom Izraelovim: tvoj će sin Salomon kraljevati poslije mene, on će sjediti na mome prijestolju!”
31 Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.
Nato se nakloni Bat-Šeba licem do zemlje, pokloni se pred kraljem i reče: “Neka vječno živi gospodar moj kralj David!”
32 And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.
A kralj David reče: “Pozovite mi svećenika Sadoka, proroka Natana i Benaju, sina Jojadina.” I dođoše oni pred kralja,
33 The king also said to them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:
a on im reče: “Uzmite sluge svoga gospodara sa sobom, posadite moga sina Salomona na moju mazgu i odvedite ga do Gihona.
34 And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon.
Ondje neka ga svećenik Sadok i prorok Natan pomažu za kralja nad Izraelom. Zatrubite tada i obznanite: 'Živio kralj Salomon!'
35 Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.
Zatim se uspnite amo s njim i neka uđe i sjedne na moje prijestolje i neka kraljuje mjesto mene, jer moja je volja: on neka bude glava nad Izraelom i nad Judom.”
36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so too.
Benaja, sin Jojadin, reče kralju: “Amen - tako neka bude! To je i riječ Jahve, Gospodara kraljeva!
37 As the LORD hath been with my lord the king, even so let him be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.
Kao što je Jahve bio s mojim gospodarem kraljem, tako neka bude i sa Salomonom! Neka uzvisi prijestolje njegovo još više nego prijestolje kralja Davida, gospodara moga!”
38 So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David’s mule, and brought him to Gihon.
Svećenik Sadok, prorok Natan, Jojadin sin Benaja, Kerećani i Pelećani siđoše i posadiše Salomona na kraljevu mazgu i odvedoše ga na Gihon.
39 And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon.
Svećenik Sadok donese iz Šatora rog s uljem i pomaza Salomona. Tada odjeknuše trube i sav narod povika: “Živio kralj Salomon!”
40 And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth shook with the sound of them.
I sav narod pođe za njim gore i sviraše puk u svirale i klicaše tako da se sva zemlja tresla.
41 And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had finished eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Why is this noise of the city being in an uproar?
Čuo to Adonija i svi njegovi uzvanici. Baš su bili pri kraju gozbe. I Joab je čuo trube pa upita: “Čemu ta buka u gradu?”
42 And while he yet spoke, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonijah said to him, Come in; for thou art a valiant man, and bringest good tidings.
Dok je on još govorio, stiže Jonatan, sin svećenika Ebjatara, i Adonija mu reče: “Ti si valjan čovjek, zacijelo nosiš dobru vijest!”
43 And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king.
Jonatan odgovori: “Jest, naš gospodar, kralj David, učinio je Salomona kraljem!
44 And the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride upon the king’s mule:
Kralj je poslao s njim svećenika Sadoka, proroka Natana i Jojadina sina Benaju, i Kerećane i Pelećane. Oni ga posadiše na kraljevu mazgu,
45 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they have come from there rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise that ye have heard.
i svećenik Sadok i prorok Natan pomazaše ga na Gihonu za kralja. Zatim su sišli radosno kličući, i sav je grad uzavreo; to je buka koju ste čuli.
46 And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom.
Još više: Salomon je već sjeo na kraljevsko prijestolje
47 And moreover the king’s servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king bowed himself upon the bed.
i došle su sluge kraljeve čestitati našem gospodaru kralju Davidu govoreći: 'Neka Bog tvoj proslavi ime Salomonovo više od imena tvoga i prijestolje njegovo uzvisi više od tvoga.' Kralj se tada poklonio na svojoj postelji
48 And also thus said the king, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who hath given one to sit on my throne this day, my eyes even seeing it.
i ovako rekao: 'Neka je blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, koji mi dade danas da mogu vidjeti svojim očima jednoga od mojih kako sjedi na mome prijestolju.'”
49 And all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid, and arose, and went every man his way.
Svi uzvanici Adonijini, uplašeni, ustadoše od stola i raziđoše se svaki svojim putem.
50 And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
Adonija pak, u strahu od Salomona, usta i ode te se uhvati za rogove žrtvenika.
51 And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon: for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear to me to day that he will not slay his servant with the sword.
Javiše Salomonu: “Gle, Adonija se uplašio kralja Salomona i eno se drži za rogove žrtvenika govoreći: 'Neka mi se danas kralj Salomon zakune da neće sluge svoga mačem pogubiti.'”
52 And Solomon said, If he will show himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die.
Salomon reče nato: “Ako se pokaže poštenim čovjekom, neće mu ni vlas s glave pasti na zemlju; a nađe li se u zlu, poginut će.”
53 So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon: and Solomon said to him, Go to thy house.
Tada zapovjedi Salomon da ga odmaknu od žrtvenika; on dođe i pade ničice pred Salomonom, koji mu reče: “Pođi svome domu!”
