2 Samuelova 16
1 A kad David prijeðe malo preko vrha, gle, Siva, momak Mefivostejev, srete ga, sa dva magarca natovarena, na kojima bješe dvjesta hljebova i sto grozdova suhih i sto gruda smokava i mijeh vina.
Now when David was a little past the top, look, Ziba the servant of Mippibaal met him with a couple of donkeys saddled, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred of summer fruits, and a container of wine.
2 I reèe car Sivi: šta æe ti to? A Siva mu reèe: magarci su za èeljad carevu, da jašu, a hljebovi i voæe da jedu momci, a vino da pije ko se umori u pustinji.
And the king said to Ziba, "Why did you bring these things?" And Ziba replied, "The donkeys are for the king's household to ride on, and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine is for those who get exhausted in the desert."
3 A car mu reèe: a gdje je sin tvoga gospodara? Reèe Siva caru: eno ga, ostao je u Jerusalimu, jer reèe: danas æe mi dom Izrailjev vratiti carstvo oca mojega.
Then the king said, "Where is your master's son?" Ziba said to the king, "Look, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, 'Today the children of Israel will restore to me the kingdom of my father.'"
4 Tada reèe car Sivi: evo, tvoje je sve što je bilo Mefivostejevo. A Siva reèe: klanjam ti se, da naðem milost pred tobom, care gospodaru!
Then the king said to Ziba, "Look, all that pertains to Mippibaal is yours." Ziba said, "I humbly bow. May I find favor in the sight of my lord the king."
5 I doðe car David do Vaurima; a gle, izide odande jedan od roda doma Saulova, po imenu Simej, sin Girin, i iduæi psovaše.
And when king David reached Bahurim, now look, a man of the family of the house of Saul came out, whose name was Shimei the son of Gera. He came out and cursed continuously as he approached.
6 I bacaše se kamenjem na Davida i na sluge cara Davida, kojemu i s desne i s lijeve strane bijaše sav narod i svi junaci.
And he threw stones at David and at all his servants, and all the people and all the soldiers at his right hand and at his left.
7 A Simej ovako govoraše psujuæi: odlazi, odlazi, krvopijo i zlikovèe!
And Shimei said as he cursed, "Get out, get out, you man of blood, and worthless man.
8 Obrati Gospod na tebe sve krvi doma Saulova, na èije si se mjesto zacario, i predade Gospod carstvo u ruke Avesalomu sinu tvojemu; eto te sada u tvom zlu, jer si krvopija.
The LORD has returned on you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and the LORD has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. And look, your evil is upon you, because you are a man of bloodshed."
9 Tada reèe caru Avisaj sin Serujin: zašto da psuje ovaj mrtvi pas cara gospodara mojega? Idem da mu skinem glavu.
Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please let me go over and take off his head."
10 Ali car reèe: šta je vama do mene, sinovi Serujini? neka psuje; jer mu je Gospod rekao: psuj Davida. Pa ko smije kazati: zašto tako èiniš?
The king said, "What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Because he curses, and because the LORD has said to him, 'Curse David;' who then shall say, 'Why have you done so?'"
11 Još reèe David Avisaju i svijem slugama svojim: eto, moj sin, koji je izašao od bedara mojih, traži dušu moju, a kako neæe ovaj sin Venijaminov? Ostavite ga neka psuje, jer mu je Gospod zapovjedio.
Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, "Look, my son who came from my body seeks my life. So also now this Benjamite. Leave him alone and let him curse, for the LORD has told him to.
12 Da ako Gospod pogleda na nevolju moju, i vrati mi Gospod dobro za psovku njegovu današnju.
Perhaps the LORD will look on my affliction and return good to me for his cursing today."
13 I tako David sa svojim ljudima iðaše svojim putem; a Simej iðaše pokraj gore prema njemu jednako psujuæi i bacajuæi se kamenjem na nj, i podižuæi prah.
So David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him, and cursed as he went, threw stones at his flank, and threw dirt.
14 I doðe car i sav narod što bijaše s njim, umorni, i odmoriše se ondje.
Now the king and all his people arrived weary at the Jordan, and he refreshed himself there.
15 A Avesalom i sav narod Izrailjev doðoše u Jerusalim, i Ahitofel s njim.
Now Absalom and all the men of Israel arrived in Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.
16 A kad Husaj Arhijanin prijatelj Davidov doðe k Avesalomu, reèe Husaj Avesalomu: da živi car! da živi car!
And it came about when David's friend Hushai the Archite came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, "Long live the king. Long live the king."
17 A Avesalom reèe Husaju: taka li je ljubav tvoja prema prijatelju tvojemu? zašto nijesi otišao s prijateljem svojim?
So Absalom said to Hushai, "Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?"
18 A Husaj reèe Avesalomu: ne; nego koga je izabrao Gospod i ovaj narod i svi Izrailjci, njegov æu biti i kod njega æu ostati.
Then Hushai said to Absalom, "No, but whom the LORD and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I belong, and with him I will stay.
19 Svrh toga, kome bih služio? eda li ne sinu njegovu? kako sam služio ocu tvojemu, tako æu i tebi.
Again, whom should I serve? Shouldn't I serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father's presence, so will I be in your presence."
20 A Avesalom reèe Ahitofelu: svjetuj šta æemo èiniti.
Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, "Give your counsel. What should we do?"
21 A Ahitofel reèe Avesalomu: lezi s inoèama oca svojega, koje je ostavio da mu èuvaju kuæu, pa kad èuje sav Izrailj kako si se omrazio s ocem svojim, osiliæe ruka svjema koji su s tobom.
Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Go in to your father's secondary wives, that he has left to care for the palace. Then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself a stench to your father. Then those on your side will be motivated to support you."
22 Tada razapeše Avesalomu šator na krovu, i Avesalom leže s inoèama oca svojega na vidiku svjemu Izrailju.
So they set up a tent for Absalom on the roof, and Absalom went in to his father's secondary wives in the sight of all Israel.
23 I svjet koji davaše Ahitofel u ono vrijeme bijaše kao da bi ko Boga upitao; taki bijaše svaki svjet Ahitofelov i u Davida i u Avesaloma.
Now in those days the counsel that Ahithophel gave was as if one inquired of the word of God. So was all the counsel of Ahithophel both to David and to Absalom.
