2 Samuelova 17
1 Još reèe Ahitofel Avesalomu: da odaberem dvanaest tisuæa ljudi, pa da idem i tjeram Davida noæas.
Moreouer Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me chuse out now twelue thousand men, and I will vp and follow after Dauid this night,
2 Pa æu ga stignuti dok je umoran i iznemoglijeh ruku; i uplašiæu ga, te æe pobjeæi sav narod što je s njim, pa æu ubiti cara samoga.
And I will come vpon him: for he is wearie, and weake handed: so I will feare him, and all the people that are with him, shall flee, and I will smite the King onely,
3 I obratiæu sav narod k tebi; jer za onijem koga tražiš stoji da se svi vrate k tebi; tada æe se sav narod umiriti.
And I will bring againe all the people vnto thee, and when all shall returne, (the man whome thou seekest being slaine) all the people shalbe in peace.
4 I to se uèini dobro Avesalomu i svijem starješinama Izrailjevijem.
And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the Elders of Israel.
5 Ali reèe Avesalom: dozovite i Husaja Arhijanina da èujemo što æe i on reæi.
Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let vs heare likewise what he sayth.
6 A kad doðe Husaj k Avesalomu, reèe mu Avesalom govoreæi: tako i tako reèe Ahitofel; hoæemo li èiniti kako on reèe ili neæemo? kaži ti.
So when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom spake vnto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken thus: shall we doe after his saying, or no? tell thou.
7 A Husaj reèe Avesalomu: nije dobar svjet što je sada svjetovao Ahitofel.
Hushai then answered vnto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath giuen, is not good at this time.
8 Još reèe Husaj: ti znaš oca svojega i ljude njegove da su hrabri i da su ljuta srca kao medvjedica kad joj otmu medvjediæe u polju; svrh toga, tvoj je otac ratnik, neæe noæiti s narodom.
For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father, and his men, that they be strong men, and are chafed in minde as a beare robbed of her whelps in the fielde: also thy father is a valiant warrier, and will not lodge with the people.
9 Gle, on se je sada sakrio u kaku jamu ili na drugo kako mjesto. Pa ako u prvi mah koji od ovijeh poginu, ko god èuje svaki æe reæi: pobijen je narod koji prista za Avesalomom.
Behold, he is hid now in some caue, or in some place: and though some of them be ouerthrowen at the first, yet the people shall heare, and say, The people that follow Absalom, be ouerthrowen.
10 A tada æe najhrabriji, u kojih je srce kao srce lavovo, klonuti. Jer sav Izrailj zna da je tvoj otac junak i da su hrabri koji su s njim.
Then he also that is valiant whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall shrinke and faint: for all Israel knoweth, that thy father is valiant, and they which be with him, stout men.
11 Zato ja svjetujem da skupiš k sebi sve Izrailjce od Dana do Virsaveje da ih bude kao pijeska na moru, pa ti glavom idi u boj.
Therefore my counsell is, that all Israel be gathered vnto thee, from Dan euen to Beer-sheba as the sand of the sea in nomber, and that thou goe to battell in thine owne person.
12 Tada æemo poæi na nj, gdje bi se god nalazio, i napašæemo na nj kao što rosa pada na zemlju, da mu ne ostane nijedan od svijeh ljudi što su s njim.
So shall we come vpon him in some place, where we shall finde him, and we will vpon him as the dewe falleth on the ground: and of all the men that are with him, wee will not leaue him one.
13 Ako li uteèe u grad, sav narod Izrailjski neka donese uža pod onaj grad, pa æemo ga svuæi u potok, da se ni kamen ne naðe ondje.
Moreouer if he be gotten into a citie, then shall all the men of Israel bring ropes to that citie, and we will draw it into the riuer, vntill there be not one small stone founde there.
14 Tada reèe Avesalom i svi Izrailjci: bolji je svjet Husaja Arhijanina nego svjet Ahitofelov. Jer Gospod bješe naredio da se razbije svjet Ahitofelov, koji bješe bolji, da bi Gospod navukao zlo na Avesaloma.
Then Absalom and all the men of Israel sayde, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better, then the counsell of Ahithophel: for the Lord had determined to destroy the good counsell of Ahithophel, that the Lord might bring euill vpon Absalom.
15 Potom reèe Husaj sveštenicima Sadoku i Avijataru: tako i tako svjetova Ahitofel Avesaloma i starješine Izrailjeve, a ja svjetovah tako i tako.
Then said Hushai vnto Zadok and to Abiathar the Priests, Of this and that maner did Ahithophel and the Elders of Israel counsell Absalom: and thus and thus haue I counseled.
16 Nego brže pošljite, te javite Davidu i recite: nemoj noæas noæiti u polju u pustinji, nego prijeði prijeko, da ne bude proždrt car i sav narod što je s njim.
Now therefore sende quickely, and shewe Dauid, saying, Tarie not this night in the fieldes of the wildernesse, but rather get thee ouer, lest the King be deuoured and all the people that are with him.
17 A Jonatan i Ahimas stajahu kod studenca Rogila, i doðe jedna sluškinja i kaza im, da bi otišli te javili caru Davidu; jer se ne smijahu pokazati ni uæi u grad.
Now Ionathan and Ahimaaz abode by En-rogel: (for they might not be seene to come into the citie) and a maid went, and tolde them, and they went and shewed King Dauid.
18 Ali ih vidje jedan momak, te kaza Avesalomu; a oni obojica brže otidoše, i doðoše u Vaurim u kuæu jednoga èovjeka, koji imaše na dvoru studenac, te se spustiše u nj.
Neuerthelesse a yong man sawe them, and tolde it to Absalom. therefore they both departed quickely, and came to a mans house in Bahurim, who had a well in his court, into the which they went downe.
19 I žena uze i razastrije ponjavu povrh studenca, i povrh nje razasu prekrupu. I tako se ne dozna.
And the wife tooke and spred a couering ouer the welles mouth, and spred ground corne thereon, that the thing should not be knowen.
20 Jer doðoše sluge Avesalomove k onoj ženi u kuæu, i rekoše joj: gdje je Ahimas i Jonatan? A žena im reèe: otidoše preko potoka. Tako traživši i ne našavši vratiše se u Jerusalim.
And when Absaloms seruants came to the wife into the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz and Ionathan? And the woman answered them, They be gone ouer the brooke of water. And when they had sought them, and could not finde them, they returned to Ierusalem.
21 A kad otidoše, oni ižljezoše iz studenca, i otidoše te javiše caru Davidu, i rekoše mu: ustanite i prijeðite brže preko vode; jer je tako i tako svjetovao Ahitofel na vas.
And assoone as they were departed, the other came out of the well, and went and tolde King Dauid, and sayde vnto him, Vp, and get you quickely ouer the water: for such counsell hath Ahithophel giuen against you.
22 Tada usta David i sav narod što bijaše s njim, i prijeðoše preko Jordana prije zore, ne osta nijedan da ne prijeðe preko Jordana.
Then Dauid arose, and all the people that were with him, and they went ouer Iorden vntil the dawning of the day, so that there lacked not one of them, that was not come ouer Iorden.
23 Ahitofel pak videæi gdje se ne uèini kako on svjetova, osedla svojega magarca, pa se podiže i otide kuæi svojoj, u svoj grad, i naredivši za svoju kuæu objesi se te umrije, i bi pogreben u grobu oca svojega.
Nowe when Ahithophel sawe that his counsell was not followed, he sadled his asse, and arose, and he went home vnto his citie, and put his houshold in order, and hanged him selfe, and dyed, and was buryed in his fathers graue.
24 A David doðe u Mahanajim; Avesalom pak prijeðe preko Jordana i sav Izrailj što bješe s njim.
Then Dauid came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed ouer Iorden, he, and all the men of Israel with him.
25 I postavi Avesalom Amasu nad vojskom, na mjesto Joavovo; a Amasa bješe sin nekoga èovjeka po imenu Itre Izrailjca, koji obleža Avigeju kæer Nasovu, sestru Seruje matere Joavove.
And Absalom made Amasa captaine of the hoste in the stead of Ioab: which Amasa was a mans sonne named Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Ioabs mother.
26 I stade u oko Izrailj s Avesalomom u zemlji Galadovoj.
So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead.
27 A kad doðe David u Mahanajim, Sovije sin Nasov iz Rave sinova Amonovijeh i Mahir sin Amilov iz Lodevara i Varzelaj od Galada iz Rogelima
And when Dauid was come to Mahanaim, Shobi the sonne of Nahash out of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the sonne of Ammiel out of Lo-debar, and Barzelai the Gileadite out of Rogel
28 Donesoše postelje i èaša i sudova zemljanijeh i pšenice i jeèma i brašna i prekrupe i boba i leæa i prženijeh zrna,
Brought beds, and basens, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and floure, and parched corne, and beanes, and lentiles, and parched corne.
29 I meda i masla i ovaca i sira kravljega; donesoše Davidu i narodu što bješe s njim da jedu. Jer govorahu: narod je gladan i umoran i žedan u toj pustinji.
And they brought hony, and butter, and sheepe, and cheese of kine for Dauid and for the people that were with him, to eate: for they said, The people is hungry, and wearie, and thirstie in the wildernesse.
