1 Kraljevima 2

1 A kad doðe vrijeme Davidu da umre, zapovjedi Solomunu sinu svojemu govoreæi:

And, when the days of David drew near that he must die, he charged Solomon his son, saying: —

2 Ja idem kuda ide sve na zemlji; a ti budi hrabar i budi èovjek.

I, am going the way of all the earth, —thou must be strong, therefore, and show thyself a man;

3 I drži što ti je Gospod Bog tvoj zapovjedio da držiš, hodeæi putovima njegovim i držeæi uredbe njegove i zapovijesti njegove i zakone njegove i svjedoèanstva njegova, kako je napisano u zakonu Mojsijevu, da bi napredovao u svemu što uzradiš i za èim se god okreneš,

and keep the observances of Yahweh thy God, by walking in his ways, by keeping his statutes, his commandments, and his regulations and his testimonies, as written in the law of Moses, —to the end thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself;

4 Da bi Gospod ispunio rijeè svoju koju mi je rekao govoreæi: ako uspaze sinovi tvoji na put svoj hodeæi preda mnom vjerno, svijem srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom, tada ti neæe nestati èovjeka na prijestolu Izrailjevu.

to the end that Yahweh may establish his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy sons will take heed to their way, by walking before me, in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul, (then, said he) there shall not be cut off to thee a man, from off the throne of Israel.

5 A ti znaš šta mi je uèinio Joav sin Serujin, šta je uèinio dvjema vojvodama Izrailjevijem, Aveniru sinu Nirovu i Amasi sinu Jeterovu, koje ubi prolivši u miru krv kao u ratu, i okalja krvlju kao u ratu pojas svoj oko sebe, i obuæu svoju na nogu.

Moreover also, thou, knowest what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me, how he dealt with two generals of the armies of Israel—with Abner son of Ner, and with Amasa son of Jether—both of whom he slew, shedding the blood of war in peace, —and putting the blood of war upon his girdle that was on his loins, and upon his sandals, that were on his feet.

6 Uèini dakle po mudrosti svojoj, i nemoj dati da se sijeda glava njegova spusti s mirom u grob. (Sheol h7585)

Thou, therefore, must do according to thy wisdom, —but will not let his grey hair go down in peace, to hades. (Sheol h7585)

7 Sinovima pak Varzelaja od Galada uèini milost, i neka budu meðu onima koji jedu za tvojim stolom, jer su tako došli k meni kad sam bježao od Avesaloma brata tvojega.

But, with the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, thou wilt deal in lovingkindness, and they will be among them who eat at thy table, —for, so, drew they near unto me, when I fled from Absolom thy brother.

8 I eto, kod tebe je Simej sin Girin od Venijamina iz Vaurima, koji me je ljuto ružio kad iðah u Mahanajim; ali mi doðe na susret na Jordan, i zakleh mu se Gospodom rekavši: neæu te ubiti maèem.

Lo! also, there is with thee—Shimei son of Gera a Benjamite, of Behurim, well, he, it was who cursed me with a grievous curse; on the day I journeyed to Mahanaim, —but he, came down to meet me, at the Jordan, and so I sware to him by Yahweh, saying—I will not put thee to death, with the sword.

9 Ali mu ti nemoj oprostiti, jer si mudar èovjek i znaæeš šta æeš mu uèiniti, da opraviš sijedu glavu njegovu s krvlju u grob. (Sheol h7585)

Now, therefore do not hold him guiltless, for, a wise man, thou art, and wilt know how thou oughtest to deal with him, and wilt suffer his grey hairs to go down with blood, to hades. (Sheol h7585)

10 Tako poèinu David kod otaca svojih, i bi pogreben u gradu Davidovu.

So then David slept with his fathers, —and was buried in the city of David.

11 A carova David nad Izrailjem èetrdeset godina: u Hevronu carova sedam godina, a u Jerusalimu carova trideset i tri godine.

Now, the days that David reigned over Israel, were forty years, —in Hebron, reigned he seven years, and, in Jerusalem, reigned he thirty and three years.

12 I Solomun sjede na prijesto Davida oca svojega, i carstvo se njegovo utvrdi jako.

But, when, Solomon, took his seat upon the throne of David his father, then was the kingdom firmly established.

13 Tada doðe Adonija sin Agitin k Vitsaveji materi Solomunovoj; a ona reèe: jesi li dobro došao? A on reèe: dobro.

And Adonijah son of Haggith came in unto Bath-sheba, mother of Solomon: And she said—Peaceably, comest thou? And he said—Peaceably.

14 Potom reèe: imam nešto da ti kažem. A ona reèe: govori.

Then said he—I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said—Say on.

15 Tada reèe: ti znaš da je moje bilo carstvo, i da je u mene bio upro oèi sav Izrailj da ja budem car; ali se carstvo prenese i dopade bratu mojemu, jer mu ga Gospod dade.

And he said—Thou, knowest that, mine, was the kingdom, and, on me, had all Israel set their faces, that I should become king, —howbeit the kingdom, hath turned about, and become my brother’s, for, from Yahweh, became it, his.

16 Zato te sada molim za jedno; nemoj me odbiti. A ona mu reèe: govori.

Now, therefore, one request, have I to ask of thee, do not turn away my face.

17 A on reèe: govori caru Solomunu, jer ti on neæe odbiti, neka mi da za ženu Avisagu Sunamku.

And she said unto him—Say on. And he said—Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, for he will not turn away thy face, —that he give me Abishag the Shunammite, to wife.

18 A Vitsaveja reèe: dobro, ja æu govoriti caru za te.

And Bath-sheba said: Good! I myself, will speak for thee, unto the king.

19 I doðe Vitsaveja k caru Solomunu da mu govori za Adoniju; a car usta i srete je i pokloniv joj se sjede na svoj prijesto, i zapovjedi te namjestiše stolicu materi njegovoj, i ona sjede njemu s desne strane.

So Bath-sheba went in unto King Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah, —and the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself down to her, and sat down upon his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the mother of the king, and she sat on his right hand.

20 Tada ona reèe: iskala bih od tebe jednu malu stvar, nemoj me odbiti. A car joj reèe: išti, majko, neæu te odbiti.

Then said she—One small request, am I asking of thee, do not turn away my face. And the king said to her—Ask on, my mother, for I will not turn away thy face.

21 Ona reèe: podaj Avisagu Sunamku Adoniji bratu svojemu za ženu.

And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother, to wife.

22 A car Solomun odgovori materi svojoj i reèe: zašto išteš Avisagu Sunamku za Adoniju? išti i carstvo za nj, jer je on brat moj stariji i ima uza se Avijatara sveštenika i Joava sina Serujina.

Then answered King Solomon, and said to his mother—Wherefore, then, art thou asking Abishag the Shunammite, for Adonijah? ask, then, for him the kingdom, because he is mine elder brother, —even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab, son of Zeruiah.

23 I zakle se car Solomun Gospodom govoreæi: tako da mi uèini Bog i tako da doda, sebi na smrt kaza to Adonija danas.

Then swore King Solomon by Yahweh, saying, —So, let God do to me, and, so, let him add, if, at the cost of his life, Adonijah hath not spoken this word.

24 I zato, tako da je živ Gospod, koji me je utvrdio i posadio me na prijestolu Davida oca mojega, i koji mi je naèinio kuæu kao što je rekao, danas æe poginuti Adonija.

Now, therefore, by the life of Yahweh, who hath established me, and seated me upon the throne of David my father, and who hath made for me a household, as he had spoken, surely, to-day, shall Adonijah be put to death!

25 I posla car Solomun Venaju sina Jodajeva, koji uloži na nj, te pogibe.

So King Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, —and he fell upon him, that he died.

26 A Avijataru svešteniku reèe car: idi u Anatot na njivu svoju, jer si zaslužio smrt, ali te neæu danas pogubiti, jer si nosio kovèeg Gospodnji pred Davidom ocem mojim i podnosio si sve nevolje koje je podnosio otac moj.

Also, unto Abiathar the priest, said the king—To Anathoth, get thee unto thine own fields, for, death-doomed, thou art, —but, this day, will I not put thee to death, because thou didst bear the ark of My Lord, Yahweh, before David my father, and because thou wast afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.

27 Tako Solomun svrgne Avijatara da ne bude sveštenik Gospodnji, da ispuni rijeè Gospodnju što reèe u Silomu za dom Ilijev.

So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto Yahweh, —to fulfil the word of Yahweh which he spake concerning the household of Eli, in Shiloh.

28 I ovaj glas doðe do Joava; a Joav bješe pristao za Adonijom, premda za Avesalomom ne bješe pristao; i uteèe Joav u šator Gospodnji i uhvati se za rogove oltaru.

And, the report, came unto Joab, for, Joab, had inclined after Adonijah, although, after Solomon, he had not inclined, —so then Joab fled into the Tent of Yahweh, and laid hold of the horns of the altar.

29 I javiše caru Solomunu: Joav uteèe u šator Gospodnji, i eno ga kod oltara. A Solomun posla Venaju sina Jodajeva govoreæi: idi, uloži na nj.

And it was told King Solomon—Joab hath fled into the Tent of Yahweh, and, there he is, beside the altar. So Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying—Go fall upon him!

30 I ušav Venaja u šator Gospodnji reèe mu: car je kazao: izidi. A on reèe: neæu; nego ovdje hoæu da umrem. A Venaja javi caru govoreæi: tako reèe Joav i tako mi odgovori.

And Benaiah came into the Tent of Yahweh, and said unto him—Thus, saith the king, Come forth! And he said—Nay! but, here, will I die! So Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus, spake Joab, and, thus, he answered me.

31 A car mu reèe: uèini kako je rekao, uloži na nj, i pogrebi ga, i skini s mene i s doma oca mojega krv pravu koju je prolio Joav.

And the king said to him—Do as he hath spoken, fall, then, upon him, and bury him, —and so put away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from off me, and from off the house of my father;

32 I neka Gospod obrati krv njegovu na njegovu glavu, što uloži na dva èovjeka pravednija i bolja od sebe, i ubi ih maèem bez znanja oca mojega Davida: Avenira sina Nirova vojvodu Izrailjeva i Amasu sina Jeterova vojvodu Judina;

thus will Yahweh bring back his blood upon his own head, in that he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing it, —even Abner son of Ner, general of the army of Israel, and Amasa son of Jether, general of the army of Judah;

33 Neka se dakle krv njihova vrati na glavu Joavovu i na glavu sjemena njegova dovijeka; a Davidu i sjemenu njegovu i domu njegovu i prijestolu njegovu neka bude mir dovijeka od Gospoda.

thus shall their blood come back upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed unto times age-abiding, —but, David and his seed, and his house, and his throne, shall have peace, unto times age-abiding, from Yahweh.

34 I otide Venaja sin Jodajev, i uloži na nj i pogubi ga, i bi pogreben kod kuæe svoje u pustinji.

So Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and put him to death, —and he was buried in his own house, in the wilderness.

35 Tada postavi car Venaju sina Jodajeva na njegovo mjesto nad vojskom, a Sadoka sveštenika postavi car na mjesto Avijatarovo.

And the king put Benaiah son of Jehoiada, in his stead, over the army, —and, Zadok the priest, did the king put in the stead of Abiathar.

36 Potom posla car i dozva Simeja, i reèe mu: sagradi sebi kuæu u Jerusalimu, pa tu sjedi, i ne izlazi odatle nikuda.

And the king sent, and called for Shimei, and said to him—Build thee a house, in Jerusalem, so shalt thou dwell there, —and shalt not go forth from thence, hither or thither;

37 Jer u koji dan izideš i prijeðeš preko potoka Kedrona, znaj zacijelo da æeš poginuti, i krv æe tvoja pasti na tvoju glavu.

but it shall be that, on the day thou goest forth, and passest over the Kidron ravine, know, that thou shalt, die, —thy blood, shall be, upon thine own head.

38 A Simej reèe caru: dobra je ta rijeè; kako je rekao gospodar moj car, tako æe uèiniti sluga tvoj. I sjedje Simej u Jerusalimu dugo vremena.

And Shimei said to the king—Good, is the word, as my lord the king hath spoken, so, will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.

39 Ali se dogodi poslije tri godine, te utekoše dvije sluge Simejeve k Ahisu sinu Mašinu caru Gatskom. I bi javljeno Simeju: eno ti slugu u Gatu.

But it came to pass, at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei fled unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath, —and they told Shimei, saying—Lo! thy servants are in Gath.

40 Tada usta Simej, i osamari svoga magarca, i otide u Gat k Ahisu da traži sluge svoje. I vrati se Simej, i dovede natrag sluge svoje iz Gata.

So Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath, unto Achish, to seek his servants—and Shimei went and brought in his servants, from Gath.

41 I javiše Solomunu da je Simej bio otišao iz Jerusalima u Gat, i da se vratio.

And it was told Solomon—Shimei hath been out of Jerusalem to Gath, and returned.

42 Tada car poslav dozva Simeja, i reèe mu: nijesam li te zakleo Gospodom i nijesam li ti tvrdo rekao: u koji dan izideš kuda mu drago, znaj zacijelo da æeš poginuti? I ti mi reèe: dobra je ta rijeè koju èuh.

Then sent the king and called for Shimei, and said unto him—Did I not put thee on oath by Yahweh, and adjure thee, saying—On the day thou goest forth and takest thy journey hither or thither, know, that thou shalt, die. Then saidst thou unto me—Good, is the word I have heard.

43 Zašto dakle nijesi držao zakletve Gospodnje i zapovijesti koju sam ti zapovjedio?

Why then, hast thou not kept the oath of Yahweh, —and the charge which I laid upon thee?

44 Potom reèe car Simeju: ti znaš sve zlo za koje zna srce tvoje, što si uèinio Davidu ocu mojemu; Gospod vraæa tvoje zlo na tvoju glavu.

Then said the king unto Shimei—Thou, knowest all the wickedness which thy heart is privy to, which thou didst unto David my father, —therefore shall Yahweh bring back thy wickedness, upon thine own head.

45 A car æe Solomun biti blagosloven i prijesto Davidov utvrðen pred Gospodom dovijeka.

But, King Solomon, shall be blessed, —and, the throne of David, shall be established before Yahweh, unto times age-abiding.

46 I zapovjedi car Venaji sinu Jodajevu, te izide i uloži na nj, te pogibe. I carstvo se utvrdi u ruci Solomunovoj.

So the king charged Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he went out and fell upon him, that he died, —and, the kingdom, was established in the hand of Solomon.
