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.

And Samuel died, and all Israel were gathered together, and made lamentation for him, and buried him within his own house, in Ramah, —and David arose and went down into the wilderness of Maon.

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 cattle were in Carmel, and, the man, was exceeding great, and, he, had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats, —and so it was, that he was shearing his sheep 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.

Now, the name of the man, was Nabal, and, the name of his wife, Abigail, —and, the woman, was of good understanding, and of beautiful figure, —but, the man, was unfeeling and of evil practices, and he was a Calebite.

4 I David èu u pustinji da Naval striže ovce.

So then David heard in the wilderness, —that Nabal was shearing his sheep.

5 I posla David deset momaka, i reèe David momcima: idite na Karmil, i otidite k Navalu, i pozdravite ga od mene.

David, therefore, sent ten young men, —and David said unto the young men, —Go up to Carmel, and enter in unto Nabal, and ye shall ask him, in my name, of his welfare;

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 thus—Long life to thee! Mayest, thou, prosper, And, thy household, prosper, And, all that thou hast, prosper!

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, therefore, have I heard that thou hast shearers, —Well, the shepherds that thou hast, have been with us, we reproached them not, neither missed they, anything, all the days 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 thy young men, that they may tell thee, that so my young men may find favour in thine eyes, for, on a good day, have we come! Give, I pray thee, what thy hand findeth, to thy servants, and to thy son, to David!

9 I doðoše momci Davidovi, i kazaše Navalu u ime Davidovo sve ove rijeèi, i umuèaše.

So David’s young men came, and spake unto Nabal, according to all these words, in the name of David, —and 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.

Then Nabal answered the servants of David, and said, Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? Nowadays, many are the servants that have broken away, every one from the presence of his lord:

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?

Shall I, then, take my bread, and my wine, and my slain beasts, that I have slaughtered for my shearers, —and give unto men of whom I know not whence they are?

12 Tada se vratiše momci Davidovi svojim putem, vratiše se, i došavši kazaše mu sve ove rijeèi.

So the young men of David turned away for their journey, —and came back, and drew near, and told him, according to 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.

Then said David unto his men—Gird on you every man his sword. And they girded on them, every man his sword, and, David also, girded on his sword, —and there went up after David—about four hundred men, and, two hundred, abode by the stores.

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.

But a certain one of her young men told, Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, —Lo! David sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our lord, and he treated them with contempt.

15 A ti su nam ljudi bili vrlo dobri, niti nam uèiniše krivo, niti nam èega nesta dokle god bijasmo kod njih u polju.

But, the men, were exceeding good to us, —and we were not harmed, neither missed we, anything, all the days we went to and fro with them, while we were in the fields:

16 Nego nam bijahu zidovi i noæu i danju, dokle god bijasmo kod njih pasuæi ovce.

A wall, became they unto us, both by night and by day, all the days we were with them, tending the flock.

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, therefore, know thou, and see, what thou canst do, for mischief is determined against our lord, and against all his household, —but, he, is such an abandoned man, that one cannot speak unto 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 hastened—and took two hundred loaves, and two skins of wine, and five sheep made ready, and five measures of parched corn, and a hundred cakes of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, —and put them on the asses.

19 I reèe momcima svojim: hajdete naprijed, a ja æu iæi za vama. A mužu svojemu Navalu ništa ne reèe.

And she said to her young men—Pass on before me, behold me coming after you; but, to her husband, Nabal, told she nothing.

20 I sjedavši na magarca iðaše ispod gore, a gle, David i ljudi njegovi slažahu pred nju, i sukobi se s njima.

And so it was, as she was riding on her ass, and descending within the covert of the hill, lo! David and his men, descending over against her, —so 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 said—Surely, in vain, did I guard all that pertained to this man in the wilderness, so that there was, nothing, missed of all that he had, —seeing he hath returned to me 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.

So may God do to David and so may he add, if I leave remaining, of all that he hath, until the morning, —so much as a little boy.

23 A kad Avigeja ugleda Davida, brže siðe s magarca, i pade pred Davidom na lice svoje i pokloni se do zemlje;

And, when Abigail saw David, she hastened, and alighted from off her ass, —and fell down before David upon her face, and prostrated herself on the ground;

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.

yea she fell at his feet, and said—On me, even me, my lord, be the transgression, —But, I pray thee, let thy handmaid speak in thine ears, and hear thou the words of thy handmaid.

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.

Let it not be, I pray thee, that my lord regard this abandoned man—Nabal ["Base"]; For, as his name is, so, is he. Nabal, is his name, and, baseness, is with him, —But, I, thy handmaid, saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.

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, therefore, my lord—By the life of Yahweh, and by the life of thine own soul, —seeing Yahweh hath withholden thee from coming in with bloodshed, and from saving thyself, with thine own hand, now, therefore, like Nabal, be thine enemies, and they who are making search for my lord, wrongfully.

27 Evo dar što je donijela sluškinja gospodaru svojemu, da se da momcima koji idu za gospodarom mojim.

Now, therefore, this blessing which thy maid-servant hath brought to my lord, let it even be given unto the young men who are going to and fro at the feet of my lord.

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.

Forgive, I pray thee, the trespass of thy handmaid, —for Yahweh, will certainly make, for my lord an assured house, for, the battles of Yahweh, is my lord fighting, and, wrong, shall not be found in thee, all thy days;

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.

yea, though there hath arisen a sun of earth to pursue thee, and to seek thy life, yet shall the life of my lord be bound up in the bundle of the living, with Yahweh thy God, but, as for the life of thine enemies, he shall sling it out with the middle of the hollow of the sling.

30 I kad Gospod uèini gospodaru mojemu svako dobro koje ti je obrekao, i postavi te voðem Izrailju,

And it shall be, when Yahweh shall do for my lord, according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, —and shall put thee in charge as leader 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 shall this not become to thee a staggering and stumbling of heart, unto my lord—that thou didst either shed blood without need, or that the hand of my lord saved himself. And, when Yahweh hath dealt well with my lord, then remember thou thy handmaid.

32 Tada reèe David Avigeji: da je blagosloven Gospod Bog Izrailjev, koji te danas posla meni na susret!

Then said David unto Abigail, —Blessed, be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who hath sent thee this day, to meet me;

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.

and, blessed, be thy discreet judgment, and, blessed, be thou thyself, —who hast kept me, this day, from coming in with bloodshed, and from saving myself, with mine 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.

Nevertheless, by the life of Yahweh, God of Israel, who hath restrained me from harming, thee, surely, except thou hadst hastened and come to meet me, there had not been left unto Nabal, by the light of the morning, so much as a little boy.

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.

So David received at her hand, that which she had brought him, —and, unto herself, he said—Go up, in peace, unto thy house, see! I have hearkened unto thy voice, and accepted thy person.

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.

And, when Abigail came unto Nabal, lo! he, had a banquet in his house, like the banquet of a king, and, the heart of Nabal, was glad accordingly, he having drunk deeply, —so she told him nothing—less or more, until the light of the morning.

37 A ujutru, kad se Naval otrijezni, kaza mu žena sve ovo; a u njemu obamrije srce njegovo, i on posta kao kamen.

And it came to pass, in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, and his wife told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became like a stone.

38 A kad proðe do deset dana, udari Gospod Navala, te umrije.

And it came to pass, in about ten days, that Yahweh smote Nabal, that he died.

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.

And, when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said—Blessed, be Yahweh, who hath maintained the plea of my reproach, at the hand of Nabal, and hath restrained, his servant, from wrong, yea, the wrong of Nabal, hath Yahweh turned back on his own head. Then sent David, and spake with Abigail, to take her to himself wife.

40 I sluge Davidove doðoše k Avigeji na Karmil, i rekoše joj govoreæi: David nas posla k tebi da te uzme za ženu.

And the servants of David came unto Abigail the Carmelitess, —and spake unto her, saying, David, hath sent us unto thee, to take thee to himself to 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.

And she arose, and bowed herself down with her face to the earth, —and said—Lo! thy handmaid, as serving-woman to bathe the feet of the servants of my lord.

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.

And Abigail hastened, and mounted, and rode upon her ass, with her five damsels that used to journey at her feet, —and she went her way after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

43 A David uze i Ahinoamu iz Jezraela, i obje mu bjehu žene.

David took, Ahinoam also, out of Jezreel, —and, they two, became his wives.

44 Jer Saul dade Mihalu kæer svoju, ženu Davidovu, Faltiju sinu Laisovu iz Galima.

Saul, indeed, had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, —to Palti, sun of Laish, who was of Gallim.
