2 Samuel 19

1 And it was told to Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.

I javiše Joavu: evo car plaèe i tuži za Avesalomom.

2 And the victory that day was turned into mourning to all the people: for the people heard it said that day how the king was grieved for his son.

I pobjeda onoga dana pretvori se u žalost svemu narodu, jer narod èu u onaj dan gdje govore: žali car sina svojega.

3 And the people withdrew by stealth that day into the city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.

I narod se u onaj dan krijaše ulazeæi u grad kao što se krije narod koji se stidi kad pobjegne iz boja.

4 But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!

A car pokri lice svoje; i vikaše iza glasa: sine moj Avesalome! Avesalome sine moj, sine moj!

5 And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, who this day have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines;

Tada uðe Joav k caru u kuæu, i reèe: posramio si danas sve sluge svoje, koje ti danas dušu saèuvaše, i sinovima tvojim i kæerima tvojim i ženama tvojim i inoèama tvojim.

6 In that thou lovest thy enemies, and hatest thy friends. For thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither princes nor servants: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well.

Jer ljubiš one koji mrze na te, a mrziš na one koji te ljube; jer si pokazao danas da ne mariš za vojvode i za sluge; i vidim danas da bi ti milo bilo da je Avesalom živ a mi svi da smo izginuli.

7 Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak kindly to thy servants: for I swear by the LORD, if thou shalt not go forth, there will not tarry one with thee this night: and that will be worse to thee than all the evil that hath befallen thee from thy youth until now.

Zato ustani sada, i izidi i progovori lijepo slugama svojim; jer zaklinjem se Gospodom, ako ne izideš, neæe nijedan ostati kod tebe ovu noæ, i to æe biti gore po te negoli sva zla koja su te snalazila od mladosti tvoje do sada.

8 Then the king rose, and sat in the gate. And they told to all the people, saying, Behold, the king doth sit in the gate. And all the people came before the king: for Israel had fled every man to his tent.

Tada usta car, i sjede na vratima; i kazaše svemu narodu govoreæi: evo, sjedi car na vratima. I doðe sav narod pred cara. Ali Izrailjci bjehu pobjegli, svak u svoj šator.

9 And all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king saved us from the hand of our enemies, and he delivered us from the hand of the Philistines; and now he hath fled out of the land for Absalom.

I sav se narod svaðaše meðu sobom po svijem plemenima Izrailjevim govoreæi: car nas je izbavio iz ruku neprijatelja naših, i izbavio nas je iz ruku Filistejskih; a sada je pobjegao iz zemlje od Avesaloma.

10 And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back?

Avesalom pak, kojega pomazasmo za cara nad sobom, pogibe u boju. Sada dakle zašto oklijevate te ne dovedete natrag cara?

11 And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, even to his house.

Zato car David posla k Sadoku i Avijataru sveštenicima i poruèi: govorite starješinama Judinijem i recite: zašto vi da budete pošljednji koji æe cara natrag dovesti u kuæu njegovu? Jer govor svega Izrailja doðe do cara u kuæu njegovu.

12 Ye are my brethren, ye are my bones and my flesh: why then are ye the last to bring back the king?

Vi ste moja braæa, vi ste kost moja i tijelo moje. Zašto biste dakle bili pošljednji koji æe natrag dovesti cara?

13 And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and of my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the place of Joab.

Recite i Amasi: nijesi li kost moja i tijelo moje? Bog neka mi uèini tako i tako neka doda, ako mi ne budeš vojvoda dok si živ na mjesto Joava.

14 And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as the heart of one man; so that they sent this word to the king, Return thou, and all thy servants.

I skloni srca svijeh ljudi od roda Judina kao jednoga èovjeka, te poslaše k caru govoreæi: vrati se sa svijem slugama svojim.

15 So the king returned, and came to Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over Jordan.

I tako se car vrati, i doðe do Jordana; a Juda doðe do Galgala da srete cara i da ga prevede preko Jordana.

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

Pohitje i Simej sin Girin od Venijamina, koji bijaše iz Vaurima, i siðe s ljudima roda Judina na susret caru Davidu;

17 And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went over Jordan before the king.

I tisuæa ljudi bješe s njim od roda Venijaminova; takoðer i Siva sluga doma Saulova s petnaest sinova svojih i dvadeset sluga svojih; i prijeðoše preko Jordana pred cara.

18 And there went over a ferry boat to carry over the king’s household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, as he came over Jordan;

Preturiše i laðu da prevezu èeljad carevu i da uèine što bi mu bilo ugodno. A Simej sin Girin pade pred carem, kad šæaše da prijeðe preko Jordana,

19 And said to the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity to me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.

I reèe caru: ne primi mi bezakonja, gospodaru moj, i ne pominji pakosti koju je uèinio sluga tvoj u onaj dan kad je car gospodar moj izašao iz Jerusalima; neka car ne misli o tom.

20 For thy servant doth know that I have sinned: therefore, behold, I have come the first this day of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.

Jer sluga tvoj vidi da je zgriješio; i evo došao sam danas prvi iz svega doma Josifova da sretem cara gospodara svojega.

21 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD’S anointed?

Ali odgovori Avisaj sin Serujin i reèe: eda li toga radi neæe poginuti Simej što je psovao pomazanika Gospodnjega?

22 And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries to me? shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?

A David reèe: šta je vama do mene, sinovi Serujini, te ste mi danas protivnici? zar æe danas poginuti ko u Izrailju? jer zar ne znam da sam danas postao car nad Izrailjem?

23 Therefore the king said to Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king swore to him.

I reèe car Simeju: neæeš poginuti. I zakle mu se car.

24 And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and 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 again in peace.

Tako i Mefivostej sin Saulov doðe caru na susret; on pak ne opra nogu svojih, niti brade svoje oèešlja, ni opra haljine svoje od onoga dana kad otide car do dana kad se vrati s mirom.

25 And it came to pass, when he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, Why didst thou not go with me, Mephibosheth?

I srete cara kad se vraæaše u Jerusalim; i reèe mu car: zašto ne poðe sa mnom, Mefivosteju?

26 And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I will saddle me a donkey, that I may ride on it, and go to the king; because thy servant is lame.

A on reèe: caru gospodaru moj, prevari me sluga moj; jer sluga tvoj reèe: osedlaæu sebi magarca i uzjahaæu ga i poæi æu s carem; jer je hrom sluga tvoj.

27 And he hath slandered thy servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God: do therefore what is good in thy eyes.

I on opade slugu tvojega kod gospodara mojega cara; ali je car gospodar moj kao anðeo Božji; zato èini što ti je drago.

28 For all of my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king: yet didst thou set thy servant among them that ate at thy own table. What right therefore have I yet to cry any more to the king?

Jer sav dom oca mojega bijahu ljudi koji zaslužiše smrt pred carem gospodarem mojim, a ti posadi slugu svojega meðu one koji jedu za stolom tvojim. Pa kakvo imam još pravo, i kako se mogu još tužiti caru?

29 And the king said to him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.

A car mu reèe: šta bi mi više govorio? kazao sam: ti i Siva podijelite njivu.

30 And Mephibosheth said to the king, Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king hath come again in peace to his own house.

A Mefivostej reèe caru: neka uzme sve, kad se car gospodar moj vratio na miru u dom svoj.

31 And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over Jordan with the king, to conduct him over Jordan.

I Varzelaj od Galada doðe iz Rogelima, i poðe s carem preko Jordana da ga prati preko Jordana.

32 Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even eighty years old: and he had provided the king with sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.

A bješe Varzelaj vrlo star, bješe mu osamdeset godina, i hranjaše cara dok bijaše u Mahanajimu, jer bješe vrlo bogat èovjek.

33 And the king said to Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem.

I reèe car Varzelaju: hajde sa mnom; ja æu te hraniti kod sebe u Jerusalimu.

34 And Barzillai said to the king, How long have I to live, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?

Ali Varzelaj reèe caru: koliko ima vijeka mojega, da idem s carem u Jerusalim?

35 I am this day eighty years old: and can I discern between good and evil? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? why then should thy servant be yet a burden to my lord the king?

Ima mi danas osamdeset godina; mogu li raspoznavati dobro i zlo? može li sluga tvoj kusom razlikovati što æe jesti i što æe piti? mogu li jošte slušati glas pjevaèima i pjevaèicama? i zašto bi sluga tvoj još bio na tegotu caru gospodaru mojemu?

36 Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense me with such a reward?

Malo æe proæi sluga tvoj preko Jordana s carem; a zašto bi mi car tako naplatio?

37 Let thy servant, I pray thee, return again, that I may die in my own city, and be buried by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good to thee.

Neka se sluga tvoj vrati, da umrem u svom gradu kod groba oca svojega i matere svoje. Nego evo, sluga tvoj Himam neka ide s carem gospodarem mojim, uèini njemu što ti bude drago.

38 And the king answered, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good to thee: and whatever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.

A car reèe: neka ide sa mnom Himam; ja æu mu uèiniti što bude tebi drago, i što god zaišteš u mene, sve æu ti uèiniti.

39 And all the people went over Jordan. And when the king had come over, the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned to his own place.

I kad prijeðe sav narod preko Jordana i car prijeðe, cjelova car Varzelaja i blagoslovi ga, i on se vrati u mjesto svoje.

40 Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him: and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the people of Israel.

Otuda car otide u Galgal, i Himam otide s njim. I tako sav narod Judin doprati cara, i polovina naroda Izrailjeva.

41 And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to him, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and have brought the king, and his household, and all David’s men with him, over Jordan?

A gle, svi ljudi Izrailjci doðoše k caru i rekoše mu: zašto te ukradoše braæa naša, ljudi Judini, i prevedoše preko Jordana cara i dom njegov i sve ljude Davidove s njim?

42 And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us: why then are ye angry for this matter? have we eaten at all at the king’s cost? or hath he given us any gift?

A svi ljudi od Jude odgovoriše ljudima od Izrailja: jer je car nama rod; pa što se srdite toga radi? jesmo li što pojeli caru? je li nas darom darivao?

43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more right in David than ye: why then did ye despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king? And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.

Tada odgovoriše ljudi od Izrailja ljudima od Jude, i rekoše: mi imamo deset dijelova u cara, i Davidu smo više nego vi; zašto dakle ne mariste za nas? nijesmo li mi prvi govorili da dovedemo natrag cara svojega? Ali besjeda ljudi od Jude bješe tvrða od besjede ljudi od Izrailja.
