1 Kraljevima 1
1 A car David ostarje i bi vremenit, i koliko ga pokrivahu haljinama ne mogaše se zagrijati.
When King David was very old [IDM, DOU], even though his servants put many blankets on top of him, he was unable to become warm.
2 Tada mu rekoše sluge njegove: neka potraže caru gospodaru našemu mladu djevojku, pa ona neka stoji pred carem i dvori ga, i na krilu neka mu spava, da se zagrijeva car gospodar naš.
So they said to him, “Your Majesty, allow us to search for a young virgin who can stay with you and take care of you. She can sleep close to you and enable you to become warm.”
3 I potražiše lijepu djevojku po svijem krajevima Izrailjskim, i naðoše Avisagu Sunamku, te je dovedoše caru.
[The king gave them permission, ] so they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful young woman. They found a woman named Abishag, from Shunem [town], and brought her to the king.
4 A ta djevojka bijaše vrlo lijepa, i dvoraše cara i služaše mu: ali je car ne pozna.
She was [truly] very beautiful. She took care of [DOU] the king, but the king did not have sexual relations with her.
5 A Adonija sin Agitin podiže se govoreæi: ja æu biti car. I nabavi sebi kola i konjika, i pedeset ljudi koji trèahu pred njim.
[After Absalom died], David’s oldest surviving son was Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith. He was a very handsome/good-looking man. But David had never rebuked him about anything he did. [After Absalom died, Adonijah thought that he would become king]. So he started to boast, saying “I will become king [now].” Then he provided for himself some chariots, and men to drive them, and horses [to pull them], and 50 men to run [as his bodyguards] in front of those chariots [wherever he went].
6 I otac ga nigda ne nakara, niti mu reèe: zašto radiš tako? A on bješe vrlo lijep, i mati ga rodi iza Avesaloma.
7 I dogovaraše se s Joavom sinom Serujinim i s Avijatarom sveštenikom, koji pomagahu Adoniji.
One day he conferred with Joab, [David’s army commander], and Abiathar the priest, and they promised/agreed to help/support Adonijah.
8 Ali Sadok sveštenik i Venaja sin Jodajev i Natan prorok i Semej i Rej i junaci Davidovi ne pristaše za Adonijom.
But Zadok, who was also a priest, Benaiah [who had supervised David’s bodyguards], Nathan the prophet, Shimei and Rei, and David’s most capable soldiers refused to help/support Adonijah.
9 Tada nakla Adonija ovaca i volova i ugojene stoke kod kamena Zoeleta, koji je kod izvora Rogila, i pozva svu braæu svoju, sinove careve, i sve ljude od Jude, sluge careve;
One day Adonijah went to Snake Rock near En-Rogel [Spring, which is near Jerusalem], to sacrifice some sheep and oxen and fattened cattle. He invited most of his brothers, King David’s other sons, to come. He also invited all of the king’s officials from Judah to come to the celebration.
10 Ali ne pozva Natana proroka, ni Venaje, ni ostalijeh junaka, ni Solomuna brata svojega.
But he did not invite Nathan or Benaiah or the king’s most capable soldiers or his [younger/half]-brother Solomon.
11 Tada reèe Natan Vitsaveji materi Solomunovoj govoreæi: jesi li èula da se zacario Adonija sin Agitin? a gospodar naš David ne zna.
Nathan [found out what they were doing, so he went to] Solomon’s mother Bathsheba [and] asked her, “Have you not heard that Haggith’s son Adonijah is declared himself to be the king? And King David does not know about it!
12 Nego sada hajde, ja æu te svjetovati kako æeš izbaviti dušu svoju i dušu sina svojega Solomuna.
So if you want to save yourself and your son Solomon from being killed, allow me to tell you what you should do.
13 Hajde, otidi k caru Davidu i reci mu: nijesi li se ti, gospodaru moj care, zakleo sluškinji svojoj govoreæi: Solomun sin tvoj biæe car poslije mene, i on æe sjedjeti na prijestolu mojem? Zašto se dakle zacari Adonija?
Go immediately to King David. Say to him, ‘Your Majesty, you solemnly promised me [RHQ] that my son Solomon would become the king after you [die], and that he would sit on your throne [and rule]. So why is it that Adonijah [has said that he] is now the king?’
14 I gle, dok ti još budeš ondje govoreæi s carem, ja æu doæi za tobom, i dopuniæu tvoje rijeèi.
Then, while you are still talking to the king, I will come in and tell him that what you are saying to him [about Adonijah] is true.”
15 I tako uðe Vitsaveja k caru u klijet. A car bijaše vrlo star; i Avisaga Sunamka dvoraše ga.
So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. He was very old, and Abishag was taking care of him.
16 I savivši se Vitsaveja pokloni se caru; a car joj reèe: šta æeš?
Bathsheba bowed very low in front of the king, and the king asked her, “What do you want?”
17 A ona mu reèe: gospodaru moj, ti si se zakleo Gospodom Bogom svojim sluškinji svojoj: Solomun sin tvoj biæe car poslije mene, i on æe sjedjeti na prijestolu mojem.
She replied, “Your Majesty, you solemnly promised me, knowing that Yahweh our God [was listening] [IDM], that my son Solomon would become king after you [die], and that he would sit on your throne [and rule].
18 A sada evo Adonija se zacari, a ti, gospodaru moj care, i ne znaš.
But now, believe it or not, Adonijah has become king, and you do not know anything about it.
19 Naklao je volova i ugojene stoke i ovaca mnogo, i pozvao sve sinove careve, i Avijatara sveštenika i Joava vojvodu; a Solomuna sluge tvojega nije pozvao.
He has sacrificed a lot of oxen and fattened cattle and sheep, and he has invited all of your other sons to the celebration. He has also invited Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of your army, but he did not invite your son Solomon.
20 Sada, care gospodaru moj, oèi su svega Izrailja uprte u tebe, da im kažeš ko æe sjesti na prijesto tvoj, gospodaru moj care, poslije tebe.
Your Majesty, all the people [SYN] of Israel are expecting you to tell them who is the one who will become king after you are no longer the king.
21 Inaèe kad gospodar moj car poèine kod otaca svojih, biæemo ja i sin moj Solomun krivi.
If you do not do that, what will happen is that after you die [EUP] people will consider that my son Solomon and I are rebelling, [and they will execute us because we did not help Adonijah to become king].”
22 I gle, dok ona još govoraše caru, doðe prorok Natan.
While she was still talking to the king, Nathan came [to the palace].
23 I javiše caru govoreæi: evo Natana proroka. I on stupivši pred cara pokloni se caru licem do zemlje.
The king’s servants/advisors told David, “Nathan the prophet has come.” So [Bathsheba left, and] Nathan went into where the king was and knelt down, with his face on the ground.
24 I reèe Natan: care, gospodaru moj, jesi li ti kazao: Adonija æe biti car poslije mene, i on æe sjedjeti na prijestolu mojem?
Then Nathan said, “Your Majesty, have you declared that Adonijah will become king after you are no longer the king?
25 Jer otide danas i nakla volova i ugojene stoke i ovaca mnogo, i pozva sve sinove careve i vojvode i Avijatara sveštenika; i eno jedu i piju s njim i govore: da živi car Adonija.
[I say that] because today he has gone down [to En-Rogel Spring] and has sacrificed a lot of oxen, fattened cattle, and sheep. And he has invited all of your other sons, Joab the army commander, and Abiathar the priest. They are all eating and drinking with him and saying ‘We hope/desire that King Adonijah will live a long time!’
26 Mene pak, sluge tvojega, ne pozva, ni Sadoka sveštenika, ni Venaje sina Jodajeva, ni Solomuna sluge tvojega.
But he did not invite me or Zadok the priest or Benaiah or Solomon.
27 Je li to car gospodar moj naredio? ne kazav sluzi svojemu ko æe sjesti na prijesto gospodara mojega cara poslije njega.
Did you, as the king, say that they should do this without telling your other officials who you want to become king [MTY] after you are no longer the king?”
28 A car David odgovori i reèe: zovite mi Vitsaveju. I ona doðe pred cara, i stade pred carem.
Then [after Nathan left the room, ] King David said [to one of his servants], “Tell Bathsheba to come in here again.” So [he went and told her, and] she came in and stood in front of the king.
29 Tada se zakle car govoreæi: tako da je živ Gospod, koji je izbavio dušu moju od svake nevolje,
Then the king said, “Yahweh has rescued me from all my troubles. I promised you, with Yahweh the God whom we Israelis [worship] listening, that your son Solomon would be king after I am no longer the king. Today, as surely as Yahweh lives, [I solemnly declare that] I will do what I promised.”
30 Kako sam ti se zakleo Gospodom Bogom Izrailjevim rekavši: Solomun sin tvoj biæe car poslije mene, i on æe sjedjeti na prijestolu mojem mjesto mene, tako æu uèiniti danas.
31 Tada Vitsaveja savi se licem do zemlje i pokloni se caru, pa reèe: da živi gospodar moj car David dovijeka!
Bathsheba knelt down with her face on the ground and said, “Your Majesty, I hope/desire that you will live for many more years [HYP]!”
32 Potom reèe car David: zovite mi Sadoka sveštenika i Natana proroka i Venaju sina Jodajeva. I oni doðoše pred cara.
Then King David said, “Summon Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah.” [So someone went and summoned them.] When they came in,
33 A car im reèe: uzmite sa sobom sluge gospodara svojega, i posadite Solomuna sina mojega na moju mazgu i odvedite ga do Giona;
he said to them, “Put my son Solomon on my mule. Take him with my officials down to Gihon [Spring].
34 I neka ga ondje Sadok sveštenik i Natan prorok pomažu za cara nad Izrailjem, i zatrubite u trubu i recite: da živi car Solomun!
There, you two, Zadok and Nathan, should anoint him, [with olive oil to appoint him to be] the king of Israel. Then you must blow trumpets, and [all the people there must] shout, ‘We hope/desire that King Solomon will live for many years!’
35 Potom se vratite za njim, i on neka doðe i sjede na prijesto moj i caruje mjesto mene; jer sam njega odredio da bude voð Izrailju i Judi.
Then follow him back here, and he will come and sit on my throne. He will then become king instead of me. I have appointed him to be the ruler of [all the people of] Israel and of Judah.”
36 A Venaja sin Jodajev odgovori caru i reèe: amin! neka tako reèe Gospod Bog gospodara mojega cara.
Benaiah replied, “We will do that! We hope/wish that Yahweh, who is your God [and our God], will cause it to happen!
37 Kako je Gospod bio s gospodarem mojim carem tako neka bude i sa Solomunom, i neka podigne prijesto njegov još više nego prijesto gospodara mojega cara Davida.
King David, Yahweh has helped you; we hope/wish that he will also help Solomon and enable him to become a greater king than you have been.”
38 I tako otide Sadok sveštenik i Natan prorok i Venaja sin Jodajev i Hereteji i Feleteji, i posadiše Solomuna na mazgu cara Davida i odvedoše ga do Giona.
So Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, and the two groups of men who were the king’s bodyguards went and put Solomon on King David’s mule and escorted him down to Gihon [Spring].
39 I Sadok sveštenik uze rog s uljem iz šatora, i pomaza Solomuna. Potom zatrubiše u trubu i sav narod reèe: da živi car Solomun!
There Zadok took the container of [olive] oil from the Sacred Tent and (anointed/poured some oil on) Solomon. Then the trumpets were blown, and all the people shouted, “We hope/wish that King Solomon will live for many years!”
40 I sav narod poðe za njim, i narod sviraše u svirale i veseljaše se veoma da se zemlja razlijegaše od vike njihove.
Then all the people followed him back up [to the city], shouting joyfully and playing flutes. They shouted very loudly, with the result that the ground shook.
41 I zaèu Adonija i sve zvanice koje bijahu s njim, pošto jedoše; zaèu i Joav glas trubni, pa reèe: kaka je to vika i vreva u gradu?
When Adonijah and all (his guests/the people whom he had invited) were finishing eating at their celebration, they heard the noise. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpets, he asked, “What is causing all that noise in the city?”
42 I dokle on još govoraše, gle, doðe Jonatan sin Avijatara sveštenika; i Adonija mu reèe: hodi, jer si junak i nosiš dobre glase.
While he was still speaking, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, arrived. Adonijah said, “Come in! You are a man whom we can trust, so you must be bringing us good news!”
43 A Jonatan odgovori i reèe Adoniji: ta, gospodar naš car David postavi Solomuna carem.
Jonathan replied, “No, [I do not have good news]! His Majesty, King David, has caused Solomon to be the king!
44 Jer car posla s njim Sadoka sveštenika i Natana proroka i Venaju sina Jodajeva, i Hereteje i Feleteje, i posadiše ga na carevu mazgu.
He sent Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, and his own group of bodyguards to go with Solomon. They put Solomon on King David’s mule.
45 I pomazaše ga Sadok sveštenik i Natan prorok kod Giona za cara, i otidoše odande veseleæi se tako da je grad uzavreo; to je vika koju èuste.
They [went down to] Gihon [Spring], and there Zadok and Nathan anointed him to become the king. Now they have returned from there to the city, shouting joyfully. That is why there is that great/loud noise that you are hearing.
46 I Solomun je veæ sjeo na carski prijesto.
So Solomon is now our king [MTY].
47 I došle su sluge careve, i blagosloviše gospodara našega cara Davida govoreæi: da Bog proslavi ime Solomunovo još veæma nego tvoje, i prijesto njegov da podigne još više nego tvoj. I pokloni se car na postelji svojoj.
Furthermore, the palace officials came to His Majesty, King David, to tell him that they approved of what he had done. They said, ‘We wish/hope that our God will enable Solomon [MTY] to become more famous than you have been and enable him to be a better king than you have been.’ When they said that, the king, lying on his bed, bowed his head to worship [Yahweh].
48 Još ovako reèe car: da je blagosloven Gospod Bog Izrailjev, koji dade danas ko æe sjedjeti na prijestolu mojemu, da vide moje oèi.
Then he said, ‘I praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], because he has allowed one of my sons to become the king today, and has permitted me to see it happen.’”
49 Tada se prepadoše, i ustaše sve zvanice Adonijine, i otidoše svak svojim putem.
Then all of Adonijah’s guests (trembled/were afraid), so they all immediately got up and left and scattered.
50 A Adonija bojeæi se Solomuna usta i otide, i uhvati se za rogove oltaru.
Adonijah was afraid of what Solomon [would do], so he went [to the Sacred Tent] and grabbed the projections at the corners of the altar, [because he knew that no one would kill him there].
51 I javiše Solomunu govoreæi: eno, Adonija se uplašio od cara Solomuna, i eno ga, uhvatio se za rogove oltaru, i veli: neka mi se zakune car Solomun da neæe ubiti sluge svojega maèem.
But someone told Solomon, “Hey/Listen, Adonijah is afraid of you, so he [has gone to the Sacred Tent and] is holding on to the corners of the altar. He is saying, ‘[Before I leave, ] I want King Solomon to solemnly promise that he will not command that I be executed.’”
52 A Solomun reèe: ako bude pošten èovjek, ni dlaka s glave njegove neæe pasti na zemlju; ali ako se naðe zlo na njemu, poginuæe.
Solomon replied, “If he proves that he is loyal to me, I will not harm him at all [IDM]. But if he does anything that is wrong, he will be executed.”
53 I tako posla car Solomun, te ga dovedoše od oltara; i kad doðe, pokloni se caru Solomunu; a Solomun mu reèe: idi kuæi svojoj.
So King Solomon sent [some men to Adonijah], and they brought him back from the altar. He came to Solomon and bowed down in front of him. Then Solomon said to him, “Go home.”
