2 Samuelova 17
1 Još reèe Ahitofel Avesalomu: da odaberem dvanaest tisuæa ljudi, pa da idem i tjeram Davida noæas.
Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David 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 upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid: and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only:
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 back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: [so] all the people shall be 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 us hear likewise what he saith.
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.
And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do [after] his saying? if not, speak thou.
7 A Husaj reèe Avesalomu: nije dobar svjet što je sada svjetovao Ahitofel.
And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given this time is not good.
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.
Hushai said moreover, Thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is a man of war, 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 pit, or in some [other] place: and it will come to pass, when some of them be fallen at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.
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.
And even he that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they which be with him are valiant 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.
But I counsel that all Israel be gathered together unto thee, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own 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 upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground: and of him and of all the men that are with him we will not leave so much as 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.
Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small stone found 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.
And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon 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 unto Zadok and to Abiathar the priests. Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.
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 send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night at the fords of the wilderness, but in any wise pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, 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 Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by En-rogel; and a maidservant used to go and tell them; and they went and told king David: for they might not be seen to come into the city.
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.
But a lad saw them, and told Absalom: and they went both of them away quickly, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down thither.
19 I žena uze i razastrije ponjavu povrh studenca, i povrh nje razasu prekrupu. I tako se ne dozna.
And the woman took and spread the covering over the well’s mouth, and strewed bruised corn thereon; and nothing was known.
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 Absalom’s servants came to the woman to the house; and they said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said unto them, They be gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
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 it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David; and they said unto David, Arise ye, and pass quickly over the water: for thus hath Ahithophel counselled 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 David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over Jordan: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over Jordan.
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.
And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home, unto his city, and set his house in order, and hanged himself; and he died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
24 A David doðe u Mahanajim; Avesalom pak prijeðe preko Jordana i sav Izrailj što bješe s njim.
Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over Jordan, 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 set Amasa over the host instead of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man, whose name was Ithra the Israelite, that went in to Abigal the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab’s mother.
26 I stade u oko Izrailj s Avesalomom u zemlji Galadovoj.
And 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 it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
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 basons, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and parched [corn], and beans, and lentils, and parched [pulse],
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 honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.
