1 Kraljevima 2
1 A kad doðe vrijeme Davidu da umre, zapovjedi Solomunu sinu svojemu govoreæi:
Now the days of David came near that he should die; and he commanded 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. You be strong therefore, and show yourself 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 instruction of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, his commandments, his ordinances, and his testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn yourself.
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.
Then Yahweh may establish his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, ‘If your children are careful of their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail you,’ he said, ‘a man on 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 you know also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, even what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war on his sash that was around his waist and in 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)
Do therefore according to your wisdom, and don’t let his gray head go down to Sheol in peace. (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 show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table; for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom your 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.
“Behold, there is with you Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by Yahweh, saying, ‘I will not put you 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 don’t hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man; and you will know what you ought to do to him, and you shall bring his gray head down to Sheol with blood.” (Sheol h7585)
10 Tako poèinu David kod otaca svojih, i bi pogreben u gradu Davidovu.
David slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city.
11 A carova David nad Izrailjem èetrdeset godina: u Hevronu carova sedam godina, a u Jerusalimu carova trideset i tri godine.
The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
12 I Solomun sjede na prijesto Davida oca svojega, i carstvo se njegovo utvrdi jako.
Solomon sat on David his father’s throne; and his kingdom was firmly established.
13 Tada doðe Adonija sin Agitin k Vitsaveji materi Solomunovoj; a ona reèe: jesi li dobro došao? A on reèe: dobro.
Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. She said, “Do you come peaceably?” He said, “Peaceably.
14 Potom reèe: imam nešto da ti kažem. A ona reèe: govori.
He said moreover, I have something to tell you.” 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.
He said, “You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign. However, the kingdom is turned around, and has become my brother’s; for it was his from Yahweh.
16 Zato te sada molim za jedno; nemoj me odbiti. A ona mu reèe: govori.
Now I ask one petition of you. Don’t deny me.” She said to him, “Say on.”
17 A on reèe: govori caru Solomunu, jer ti on neæe odbiti, neka mi da za ženu Avisagu Sunamku.
He said, “Please speak to Solomon the king (for he will not tell you ‘no’), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite as wife.”
18 A Vitsaveja reèe: dobro, ja æu govoriti caru za te.
Bathsheba said, “All right. I will speak for you to 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.
Bathsheba therefore went to King Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. The king rose up to meet her and bowed himself to her, and sat down on his throne and caused a throne to be set for the king’s mother; 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 she said, “I ask one small petition of you; don’t deny me.” The king said to her, “Ask on, my mother, for I will not deny you.”
21 Ona reèe: podaj Avisagu Sunamku Adoniji bratu svojemu za ženu.
She said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as 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.
King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also, for he is my elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the 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 King Solomon swore by Yahweh, saying, “God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life.
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 as Yahweh lives, who has established me and set me on my father David’s throne, and who has made me a house as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death today.”
25 I posla car Solomun Venaju sina Jodajeva, koji uloži na nj, te pogibe.
King Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell on him, so 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.
To Abiathar the priest the king said, “Go to Anathoth, to your own fields, for you are worthy of death. But I will not at this time put you to death, because you bore the Lord Yahweh’s ark before David my father, and because you were afflicted in all in which 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 Abiathar out from being priest to Yahweh, that he might fulfill Yahweh’s word which he spoke concerning the house 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.
This news came to Joab; for Joab had followed Adonijah, although he didn’t follow Absalom. Joab fled to Yahweh’s Tent, and held onto 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.
King Solomon was told, “Joab has fled to Yahweh’s Tent; and behold, he is by the altar.” Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, fall on 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.
Benaiah came to Yahweh’s Tent, and said to him, “The king says, ‘Come out!’” He said, “No; but I will die here.” Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, “This is what Joab said, and this is how 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.
The king said to him, “Do as he has said, and fall on him, and bury him, that you may take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father’s house.
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;
Yahweh will return his blood on his own head, because he fell on two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword, and my father David didn’t know it: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain 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.
So their blood will return on the head of Joab and on the head of his offspring forever. But for David, for his offspring, for his house, and for his throne, there will be peace forever from Yahweh.”
34 I otide Venaja sin Jodajev, i uloži na nj i pogubi ga, i bi pogreben kod kuæe svoje u pustinji.
Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and fell on him, and killed him; 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.
The king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his place over the army; and the king put Zadok the priest in the place 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.
The king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, “Build yourself a house in Jerusalem, and live there, and don’t go anywhere else.
37 Jer u koji dan izideš i prijeðeš preko potoka Kedrona, znaj zacijelo da æeš poginuti, i krv æe tvoja pasti na tvoju glavu.
For on the day you go out and pass over the brook Kidron, know for certain that you will surely die. Your blood will be on your 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.
Shimei said to the king, “What you say is good. As my lord the king has said, so will your servant do.” Shimei lived 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.
At the end of three years, two of Shimei’s slaves ran away to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. They told Shimei, saying, “Behold, your slaves 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.
Shimei arose, saddled his donkey, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his slaves; and Shimei went and brought his slaves from Gath.
41 I javiše Solomunu da je Simej bio otišao iz Jerusalima u Gat, i da se vratio.
Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had come again.
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.
The king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, “Didn’t I adjure you by Yahweh and warn you, saying, ‘Know for certain that on the day you go out and walk anywhere else, you shall surely die’? You said to me, ‘The saying that I have heard is good.’
43 Zašto dakle nijesi držao zakletve Gospodnje i zapovijesti koju sam ti zapovjedio?
Why then have you not kept the oath of Yahweh and the commandment that I have instructed you with?”
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.
The king said moreover to Shimei, “You know in your heart all the wickedness that you did to David my father. Therefore Yahweh will return your wickedness on your own head.
45 A car æe Solomun biti blagosloven i prijesto Davidov utvrðen pred Gospodom dovijeka.
But King Solomon will be blessed, and David’s throne will be established before Yahweh forever.”
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 commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out, and fell on him, so that he died. The kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
