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.
When David was a little past the top, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him with a couple of donkeys saddled, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, and one hundred clusters of raisins, and one hundred 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.
The king said to Ziba, “What do you mean by these?” Ziba said, “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, that those who are faint in the wilderness may drink.”
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.
The king said, “Where is your master’s son?” Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he is staying in Jerusalem; for he said, ‘Today the house of Israel will restore 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, “Behold, all that belongs to Mephibosheth is yours.” Ziba said, “I bow down. Let me find favor in your sight, 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.
When King David came to Bahurim, behold, a man of the family of Saul’s house came out, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera. He came out and cursed 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.
He cast stones at David and at all the servants of King David, and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
7 A Simej ovako govoraše psujuæi: odlazi, odlazi, krvopijo i zlikovèe!
Shimei said when he cursed, “Be gone, be gone, you man of blood, and wicked fellow!
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 Saul’s house, in whose place you have reigned! The LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son! Behold, you are caught by your own mischief, because you are a man of blood!”
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.
David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Behold, my son, who came out of my bowels, seeks my life. How much more this Benjamite, now? Leave him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD has invited him.
12 Da ako Gospod pogleda na nevolju moju, i vrati mi Gospod dobro za psovku njegovu današnju.
It may be that the LORD will look on the wrong done to me, and that the LORD will repay me good for the cursing of me 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 him, and threw dust.
14 I doðe car i sav narod što bijaše s njim, umorni, i odmoriše se ondje.
The king and all the people who were with him arrived weary; and he refreshed himself there.
15 A Avesalom i sav narod Izrailjev doðoše u Jerusalim, i Ahitofel s njim.
Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
16 A kad Husaj Arhijanin prijatelj Davidov doðe k Avesalomu, reèe Husaj Avesalomu: da živi car! da živi car!
When Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, had come to Absalom, 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?
Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your kindness to your friend? Why didn’t you 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.
Hushai said to Absalom, “No; but whomever the LORD and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, I will be his, and I will stay with him.
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 I will be in your presence.”
20 A Avesalom reèe Ahitofelu: svjetuj šta æemo èiniti.
Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give 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.
Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to your father’s concubines that he has left to keep the house. Then all Israel will hear that you are abhorred by your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strong.”
22 Tada razapeše Avesalomu šator na krovu, i Avesalom leže s inoèama oca svojega na vidiku svjemu Izrailju.
So they spread a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to 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.
The counsel of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man inquired at the inner sanctuary of God. All the counsel of Ahithophel was like this both with David and with Absalom.
