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, David, had passed on but a little from the summit, when lo! Ziba, servant of Mephibosheth, met him, —with a couple of asses saddled, and, upon them, two hundred cakes of bread, and one hundred cakes of raisins, and one hundred summer fruits, and a skin 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 unto Ziba, What meanest thou, by these? And Ziba said—The asses, are for the king’s household, to ride on, and, the bread and the summer fruits, are for the young men to eat, and, the wine, is for drink to such as are faint in the wilderness.
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 said the king, And where is thy lord’s son? And Ziba said unto the king—Lo! abiding in Jerusalem, for he said, To-day, will the house of Israel, restore unto 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 said the king unto Ziba, Lo! thine, is all that pertained to Mephibosheth. And Ziba said—I have done homage, that I might find favour in thine eyes, my lord O 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 had come as far as Bahurim, lo! from thence a man coming out, of the family of the house of Saul, whose name, was Shimei son of Gera, coming out and cursing as he came.
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 pelted, with stones, David and all the servants of King David, —all the people, and all the mighty men, being on his right hand and on his left.
7 A Simej ovako govoraše psujuæi: odlazi, odlazi, krvopijo i zlikovèe!
And, thus, said Shimei, when he cursed, —Out! Out! thou man of bloodshed, and man of the Abandoned One!
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.
Yahweh, hath brought back upon thee, all the shed-blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned, and Yahweh hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absolom thy son, —and, here thou art, in thy ruin, for that, a man of bloodshed, thou art.
9 Tada reèe caru Avisaj sin Serujin: zašto da psuje ovaj mrtvi pas cara gospodara mojega? Idem da mu skinem glavu.
Then said Abishai, son of Zeruiah, unto the king—Wherefore should this dead dog curse my lord the king? I pray thee, let me cross 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?
But the king said, What have I in common with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? thus, he curseth, because, Yahweh, hath said unto him—Curse David. Who then can say, Why hast thou done thus?
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 said David unto Abishai, and unto all his servants, Lo! my own son who sprang from my body, is seeking my life, —then how much more, now, a Benjamite? Let him alone, and let him curse, for, Yahweh, hath permitted him.
12 Da ako Gospod pogleda na nevolju moju, i vrati mi Gospod dobro za psovku njegovu današnju.
It may be, that Yahweh will behold with his eye, —and that Yahweh will return me good, for his cursing this day.
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.
And, when David and his men went along in the way, Shimei, was going along on the side of the hill over against him, cursing as he went, pelting him with stones, and throwing dust.
14 I doðe car i sav narod što bijaše s njim, umorni, i odmoriše se ondje.
And the king and all the people that were with him arrived, weary, —and they refreshed themselves there.
15 A Avesalom i sav narod Izrailjev doðoše u Jerusalim, i Ahitofel s njim.
And, Absolom and all the men of Israel, entered Jerusalem, —and Ahithophel with him.
16 A kad Husaj Arhijanin prijatelj Davidov doðe k Avesalomu, reèe Husaj Avesalomu: da živi car! da živi car!
And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, the friend of David, came in unto Absolom, that Hushai said unto Absolom: 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?
Then said Absolom unto Hushai, Is, this, thy lovingkindness unto thy friend? Wherefore wentest thou not with thy 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.
And Hushai said unto Absolom, Nay! but, whom Yahweh, and all this people, and the men of Israel have chosen, his, will I be, and, with him, will I dwell.
19 Svrh toga, kome bih služio? eda li ne sinu njegovu? kako sam služio ocu tvojemu, tako æu i tebi.
And, again, whom, should, I serve? Should it not be in presence of his son? as I served in presence of thy father, so, will I continue thy presence.
20 A Avesalom reèe Ahitofelu: svjetuj šta æemo èiniti.
Then said Absolom unto Ahithophel, —Give ye your counsel, what we shall 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.
And Ahithophel said unto Absolom, Go in unto thy father’s concubines, whom he hath left to keep the house, —so shall all Israel hear that thou hast made thyself odious unto thy father, and the hands of all that are with thee, shall be strengthened.
22 Tada razapeše Avesalomu šator na krovu, i Avesalom leže s inoèama oca svojega na vidiku svjemu Izrailju.
And they stretched out for Absolom a tent, upon the house-top, —and Absolom went in unto his father’s concubines, 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, the counsel of Ahithophel which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God, —so, was all the counsel of Ahithophel, both to David, and also to Absolom.
