1 Samuelova 25
1 U tom umrije Samuilo i sabra se sav Izrailj, i plakaše za njim, i pogreboše ga u domu njegovu u Rami. A David usta i siðe u pustinju Faransku.
When Samuel died, all Israel gathered to mourn for him; and they buried him at his home in Ramah. Then David set out and went down to the Wilderness of Paran.
2 A bijaše jedan èovjek u Maonu, a stoka mu bijaše na Karmilu; i bijaše èovjek vrlo bogat, jer imaše tri tisuæe ovaca i tisuæu koza, i tada strizijaše ovce svoje na Karmilu.
Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel. He was a very wealthy man with a thousand goats and three thousand sheep, which he was shearing in Carmel.
3 I bješe ime tomu èovjeku Naval, a ženi mu ime Avigeja; i ona bijaše žena razumna i lijepa, a on bijaše tvrda srca i opak, a bijaše od roda Halevova.
His name was Nabal, and his wife’s name was Abigail. She was an intelligent and beautiful woman, but her husband, a Calebite, was harsh and evil in his dealings.
4 I David èu u pustinji da Naval striže ovce.
While David was in the wilderness, he heard that Nabal was shearing sheep.
5 I posla David deset momaka, i reèe David momcima: idite na Karmil, i otidite k Navalu, i pozdravite ga od mene.
So David sent ten young men and instructed them, “Go up to Nabal at Carmel. Greet him in my name
6 I recite mu: zdravo! i mir da ti je, i domu tvojemu da je mir, i svemu što imaš da je mir!
and say to him, ‘Long life to you, and peace to you and your house and to all that belongs to you.
7 Èuo sam da strižeš ovce; pastiri su tvoji bivali kod nas, i ne uèinismo im nepravde, i ništa im nije nestalo dokle god bijahu na Karmilu.
Now I hear that it is time for shearing. When your shepherds were with us, we did not harass them, and nothing of theirs was missing the whole time they were in Carmel.
8 Pitaj sluge svoje, i kazaæe ti. Neka ovi momci naðu milost pred tobom, jer doðosmo u dobar dan. Daj slugama svojim i Davidu sinu svojemu što ti doðe do ruke.
Ask your young men, and they will tell you. So let my young men find favor with you, for we have come on the day of a feast. Please give whatever you can afford to your servants and to your son David.’”
9 I doðoše momci Davidovi, i kazaše Navalu u ime Davidovo sve ove rijeèi, i umuèaše.
When David’s young men arrived, they relayed all these words to Nabal on behalf of David. Then they waited.
10 A Naval odgovori slugama Davidovijem i reèe: ko je David? i ko je sin Jesejev? Danas ima mnogo sluga koje bježe od svojih gospodara.
But Nabal asked them, “Who is David? Who is this son of Jesse? Many servants these days are breaking away from their masters.
11 Eda li æu uzeti hljeb svoj i vodu svoju i meso što sam poklao za ljude koji mi strigu ovce, pa dati ljudima kojih ne znam odakle su?
Why should I take my bread and water and the meat I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give them to these men whose origin I do not know?”
12 Tada se vratiše momci Davidovi svojim putem, vratiše se, i došavši kazaše mu sve ove rijeèi.
So David’s men turned around and went back, and they relayed to him all these words.
13 A David reèe svojim ljudima: pripašite svaki svoj maè. I pripasaše svaki svoj maè, i David pripasa svoj maè; i poðe za Davidom do èetiri stotine ljudi, a dvjesta ostaše kod prtljaga.
And David said to his men, “Strap on your swords!” So David and all his men put on their swords, and about four hundred men followed David, while two hundred stayed with the supplies.
14 Ali Avigeji ženi Navalovoj kaza jedan izmeðu sluga njegovijeh govoreæi: evo, David posla iz pustinje poslanike da pozdravi gospodara našega, a on ih otjera.
Meanwhile, one of Nabal’s young men informed Nabal’s wife Abigail, “Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, but he scolded them.
15 A ti su nam ljudi bili vrlo dobri, niti nam uèiniše krivo, niti nam èega nesta dokle god bijasmo kod njih u polju.
Yet these men were very good to us. When we were in the field, we were not harassed, and nothing of ours went missing the whole time we lived among them.
16 Nego nam bijahu zidovi i noæu i danju, dokle god bijasmo kod njih pasuæi ovce.
They were a wall around us, both day and night, the whole time we were herding our sheep near them.
17 Zato sada gledaj i promisli šta æeš èiniti, jer je gotovo zlo gospodaru našemu i svemu domu njegovu; a on je zao èovjek, da mu se ne može govoriti.
Now consider carefully what you must do, because disaster looms over our master and all his household. For he is such a scoundrel that nobody can speak to him!”
18 Tada Avigeja brže uze dvjesta hljebova i dvije mješine vina i pet ovaca zgotovljenijeh i pet mjerica pržena žita, i sto grozdova suhoga grožða i dvjesta gruda suhih smokava, i metnu na magarce.
Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five butchered sheep, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs. She loaded them on donkeys
19 I reèe momcima svojim: hajdete naprijed, a ja æu iæi za vama. A mužu svojemu Navalu ništa ne reèe.
and said to her young men, “Go ahead of me. I will be right behind you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
20 I sjedavši na magarca iðaše ispod gore, a gle, David i ljudi njegovi slažahu pred nju, i sukobi se s njima.
As Abigail came riding her donkey into a mountain ravine, she saw David and his men coming down toward her, and she met them.
21 A David govoraše: ele sam zaludu èuvao sve što je taj imao u pustinji da mu ništa ne bješe nestalo od svega što ima; jer mi vrati zlo za dobro.
Now David had just finished saying, “In vain I have protected all that belonged to this man in the wilderness. Nothing that belongs to him has gone missing, yet he has paid me back evil for good.
22 To neka uèini Bog neprijateljima Davidovijem i to neka doda, ako mu do zore od svega što ima ostavim i ono što mokri uza zid.
May God punish David, and ever so severely, if I let one of Nabal’s men survive until morning.”
23 A kad Avigeja ugleda Davida, brže siðe s magarca, i pade pred Davidom na lice svoje i pokloni se do zemlje;
When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off the donkey, fell facedown, and bowed before him.
24 I padnuvši mu k nogama reèe: na meni, gospodaru, neka bude ta krivica; ali da progovori sluškinja tvoja tebi, i èuj rijeèi sluškinje svoje.
She fell at his feet and said, “My lord, may the blame be on me alone, but please let your servant speak to you; hear the words of your servant.
25 Neka gospodar moj ne gleda na toga nevaljaloga èovjeka, Navala, jer je kao ime što mu je; Naval mu je ime, i bezumlje je kod njega. A ja sluškinja tvoja nijesam vidjela momaka gospodara svojega, koje si slao.
My lord should pay no attention to this scoundrel Nabal, for he lives up to his name: His name means Fool, and folly accompanies him. I, your servant, did not see my lord’s young men whom you sent.
26 Zato sada, gospodaru, tako živ bio Gospod i tako živa bila duša tvoja, Gospod ti ne da da ideš na krv i da se osvetiš svojom rukom. Zato sada neka bude neprijateljima tvojim kao Navalu i svjema koji traže zla gospodaru mojemu.
Now, my lord, as surely as the LORD lives and you yourself live, the LORD has held you back from coming to bloodshed and avenging yourself with your own hand. May your enemies and those who seek harm for my lord be like Nabal.
27 Evo dar što je donijela sluškinja gospodaru svojemu, da se da momcima koji idu za gospodarom mojim.
Now let this gift your servant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who follow you.
28 Oprosti sluškinji svojoj krivicu; jer æe Gospod zacijelo naèiniti tvrdu kuæu gospodaru mojemu; jer ratove Gospodnje vodi gospodar moj i nije se našlo zlo na tebi nikad tvoga vijeka.
Please forgive your servant’s offense, for the LORD will surely make a lasting dynasty for my lord, because he fights the LORD’s battles. May no evil be found in you as long as you live.
29 I da ustane èovjek da te goni i traži dušu tvoju, duša æe gospodara mojega biti vezana u svežnju živijeh kod Gospoda Boga tvojega, a duše æe neprijatelja tvojih baciti kao iz praæe.
And should someone pursue you and seek your life, then the life of my lord will be bound securely by the LORD your God in the bundle of the living. But He shall fling away the lives of your enemies like stones from a sling.
30 I kad Gospod uèini gospodaru mojemu svako dobro koje ti je obrekao, i postavi te voðem Izrailju,
When the LORD has done for my lord all the good He promised, and when He has appointed you ruler over Israel,
31 Neæe ti biti spoticanja ni sablazni srcu gospodara mojega da je prolio krv ni za što i da se sam osvetio gospodar moj. I kad uèini Gospod dobro gospodaru mojemu, opomenuæeš se sluškinje svoje.
then my lord will have no remorse or guilt of conscience over needless bloodshed and revenge. And when the LORD has dealt well with my lord, may you remember your maidservant.”
32 Tada reèe David Avigeji: da je blagosloven Gospod Bog Izrailjev, koji te danas posla meni na susret!
Then David said to Abigail, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you to meet me this day!
33 I da su blagoslovene rijeèi tvoje, i ti da si blagoslovena, koja me odvrati danas da ne idem na krv i osvetim se svojom rukom.
Blessed is your discernment, and blessed are you, because today you kept me from bloodshed and from avenging myself by my own hand.
34 Doista, tako živ bio Gospod Bog Izrailjev, koji mi ne dade da ti uèinim zlo, da mi nijesi brže izašla na susret, ne bi ostalo Navalu do zore ni ono što uza zid mokri.
Otherwise, as surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, who has restrained me from harming you, if you had not come quickly to meet me, then surely no male belonging to Nabal would have been left alive by morning light.”
35 I primi David iz ruke njezine što mu bješe donijela, i reèe joj: idi s mirom kuæi svojoj; eto, poslušah te, i pogledah na te.
Then David accepted from her hand what she had brought him, and he said to her, “Go home in peace. See, I have heeded your voice and granted your request.”
36 Potom se Avigeja vrati k Navalu; a gle, kod njega gozba u kuæi, kao carska gozba, i srce Navalu bješe veselo, i bijaše pijan vrlo. Zato mu ona ne reèe ništa do jutra.
When Abigail returned to Nabal, there he was in the house, holding a feast fit for a king, in high spirits and very drunk. So she told him nothing until morning light.
37 A ujutru, kad se Naval otrijezni, kaza mu žena sve ovo; a u njemu obamrije srce njegovo, i on posta kao kamen.
In the morning when Nabal was sober, his wife told him about these events, and his heart failed within him and he became like a stone.
38 A kad proðe do deset dana, udari Gospod Navala, te umrije.
About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal dead.
39 A kad David èu da je umro Naval, reèe: da je blagosloven Gospod, koji osveti sramotu moju od Navala, i zadrža slugu svojega oda zla, a obrati Gospod Navalu na glavu zloæu njegovu. Potom posla David i poruèi Avigeji da æe je uzeti za ženu.
On hearing that Nabal was dead, David said, “Blessed be the LORD, who has upheld my cause against the reproach of Nabal and has restrained His servant from evil. For the LORD has brought the wickedness of Nabal down upon his own head.” Then David sent word to Abigail, asking for her in marriage.
40 I sluge Davidove doðoše k Avigeji na Karmil, i rekoše joj govoreæi: David nas posla k tebi da te uzme za ženu.
When his servants came to Abigail at Carmel, they said, “David has sent us to take you as his wife.”
41 A ona usta i pokloni se licem do zemlje, i reèe: evo sluškinje tvoje, da služi i da pere noge slugama gospodara svojega.
She arose, then bowed facedown and said, “Here is your maidservant, ready to serve and to wash the feet of my lord’s servants.”
42 Potom brže usta Avigeja, i sjede na magarca, i pet djevojaka njezinijeh poðe za njom, i otide za poslanicima Davidovijem, i posta mu žena.
So Abigail hurried and got on a donkey, and attended by five of her maidens, she followed David’s messengers and became his wife.
43 A David uze i Ahinoamu iz Jezraela, i obje mu bjehu žene.
David had also married Ahinoam of Jezreel. So she and Abigail were both his wives.
44 Jer Saul dade Mihalu kæer svoju, ženu Davidovu, Faltiju sinu Laisovu iz Galima.
But Saul had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Palti son of Laish, who was from Gallim.
