1 Samuelova 12
1 Tada reèe Samuilo svemu Izrailju: eto, poslušao sam glas vaš u svemu što mi rekoste, i postavih cara nad vama.
AND Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you.
2 I sada eto, car ide pred vama, a ja sam ostario i osijedio; i sinovi moji eto su meðu vama; i ja sam išao pred vama od mladosti svoje do danas.
And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day.
3 Evo me; odgovorite mi pred Gospodom i pred pomazanikom njegovijem. Kome sam uzeo vola ili kome sam uzeo magarca? kome sam uèinio nasilje? kome sam uèinio krivo? ili iz èije sam ruke uzeo poklon, da bih stiskao oèi njega radi? pak æu vam vratiti.
Behold, here I am: witness against me before the Lord, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.
4 A oni rekoše: nijesi nam uèinio sile niti si kome uèinio krivo, niti si uzeo što iz èije ruke.
And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man’s hand.
5 Jošte im reèe: svjedok je Gospod na vas, i svjedok je pomazanik njegov danas, da nijeste našli ništa u mojim rukama. I rekoše: svjedok je.
And he said unto them, The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, He is witness.
6 Tada reèe Samuilo narodu: Gospod je koji je postavio Mojsija i Arona, i koji je izveo oce vaše iz zemlje Misirske.
And Samuel said unto the people, It is the Lord that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.
7 Sada dakle stanite da se prem s vama pred Gospodom za sva dobra što je èinio Gospod vama i vašim ocima.
Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the Lord of all the righteous acts of the Lord, which he did to you and to your fathers.
8 Pošto doðe Jakov u Misir, vikaše oci vaši ka Gospodu, i Gospod posla Mojsija i Arona, koji izvedoše oce vaše iz Misira i naseliše ih na ovom mjestu.
When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto the Lord, then the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.
9 Ali zaboraviše Gospoda Boga svojega, te ih dade u ruke Sisari vojvodi Asorskom, i u ruke Filistejima, i u ruke caru Moavskomu, koji vojevaše na njih.
And when they forgat the Lord their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.
10 Ali vikaše ka Gospodu i rekoše: sagriješismo što ostavismo Gospoda i služismo Valima i Astarotama; ali sada izbavi nas iz ruku neprijatelja naših, pa æemo ti služiti.
And they cried unto the Lord, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.
11 I Gospod posla Jerovala i Vedana i Jeftaja i Samuila, i ote vas iz ruku neprijatelja vaših unaokolo, te živjeste bez straha.
And the Lord sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled safe.
12 Ali kad vidjeste Nasa cara Amonskoga gdje doðe na vas, rekoste mi: ne, nego car neka caruje nad nama, premda Gospod Bog vaš bješe car vaš.
And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over us: when the Lord your God was your king.
13 Sada dakle, eto cara kojega izabraste, kojega iskaste; evo, Gospod je postavio cara nad vama.
Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the Lord hath set a king over you.
14 Ako se uzbojite Gospoda, i njemu uzaslužite, i uzaslušate glas njegov i ne usprotivite se zapovijesti Gospodnjoj, tada æete i vi i car vaš koji caruje nad vama iæi za Gospodom Bogom svojim.
If ye will fear the Lord, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the Lord your God:
15 Ako li ne uzaslušate glasa Gospodnjega, nego se usprotivite zapovijesti Gospodnjoj, tada æe biti ruka Gospodnja protiv vas kao što je bila protiv otaca vaših.
But if ye will not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then shall the hand of the Lord be against you, as it was against your fathers.
16 Ali stanite sada jošte, i vidite ovu stvar veliku koju æe uèiniti Gospod pred vašim oèima.
Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the Lord will do before your eyes.
17 Nije li danas žetva pšenièna? Ja æu prizvati Gospoda, i spustiæe gromove i dažd, da razumijete i vidite koliko je zlo što uèiniste pred Gospodom iskavši sebi cara.
Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the Lord, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the Lord, in asking you a king.
18 Tada Samuilo zavapi ka Gospodu, i Gospod spusti gromove i dažd u taj dan; i sav se narod poboja vrlo Gospoda i Samuila.
So Samuel called unto the Lord; and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel.
19 I reèe sav narod Samuilu: moli se za sluge svoje Gospodu Bogu svojemu da ne pomremo; jer dodasmo k svijem grijesima svojim zlo ištuæi sebi cara.
And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the Lord thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.
20 Tada reèe Samuilo narodu: ne bojte se, vi ste uèinili sve ovo zlo; ali ne otstupajte od Gospoda, nego služite Gospodu svijem srcem svojim.
And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart;
21 Ne otstupajte; jer biste pošli za ništavim stvarima, koje ne pomažu, niti izbavljaju, jer su ništave.
And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.
22 Jer Gospod neæe ostaviti naroda svojega radi velikoga imena svojega; jer Gospodu bi volja da vas uèini svojim narodom.
For the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake: because it hath pleased the Lord to make you his people.
23 A meni ne dao Bog da zgriješim Gospodu i prestanem moliti se za vas; nego æu vas upuæivati na put dobar i prav.
Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:
24 Samo se Bojte Gospoda i služite mu istinito, svijem srcem svojim, jer vidite, kakve je velike stvari uèinio za vas.
Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.
25 Ako li zlo ušèinite, propašæete i vi i car vaš.
But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.
