2 Samuelova 19

1 I javiše Joavu: evo car plaèe i tuži za Avesalomom.

And it was told Joab, that the king wept and mourned for his son:

2 I pobjeda onoga dana pretvori se u žalost svemu narodu, jer narod èu u onaj dan gdje govore: žali car sina svojega.

And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day: The king grieveth for his son.

3 I narod se u onaj dan krijaše ulazeæi u grad kao što se krije narod koji se stidi kad pobjegne iz boja.

And the people shunned the going into the city that day as a people would do that hath turned their backs, and fled away from the battle.

4 A car pokri lice svoje; i vikaše iza glasa: sine moj Avesalome! Avesalome sine moj, sine moj!

And the king covered his head, and cried with a loud voice: O my son Absalom, O Absalom my son, O my son.

5 Tada uðe Joav k caru u kuæu, i reèe: posramio si danas sve sluge svoje, koje ti danas dušu saèuvaše, i sinovima tvojim i kæerima tvojim i ženama tvojim i inoèama tvojim.

Then Joab going into the house to the king, said: Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, that have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons, and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines.

6 Jer ljubiš one koji mrze na te, a mrziš na one koji te ljube; jer si pokazao danas da ne mariš za vojvode i za sluge; i vidim danas da bi ti milo bilo da je Avesalom živ a mi svi da smo izginuli.

Thou lovest them that hate thee, and thou hatest them that love thee: and thou hast shewn this day that thou carest not for thy nobles, nor for thy servants: and I now plainly perceive that if Absalom had lived, and all we had been slain, then it would have pleased thee.

7 Zato ustani sada, i izidi i progovori lijepo slugama svojim; jer zaklinjem se Gospodom, ako ne izideš, neæe nijedan ostati kod tebe ovu noæ, i to æe biti gore po te negoli sva zla koja su te snalazila od mladosti tvoje do sada.

Now therefore arise, and go out, and speak to the satisfaction of thy servants: for I swear to thee by the Lord, that if thou wilt not go forth, there will not tarry with thee so much as one this night: and that will be worse to thee, than all the evils that have befallen thee from thy youth until now.

8 Tada usta car, i sjede na vratima; i kazaše svemu narodu govoreæi: evo, sjedi car na vratima. I doðe sav narod pred cara. Ali Izrailjci bjehu pobjegli, svak u svoj šator.

Then the king arose and sat in the gate: and it was told to all the people that the king sat in the gate: and all the people came before the king, but Israel fled to their own dwellings.

9 I sav se narod svaðaše meðu sobom po svijem plemenima Izrailjevim govoreæi: car nas je izbavio iz ruku neprijatelja naših, i izbavio nas je iz ruku Filistejskih; a sada je pobjegao iz zemlje od Avesaloma.

And all the people were at strife in all the tribes of Israel, saying: The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines: and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom.

10 Avesalom pak, kojega pomazasmo za cara nad sobom, pogibe u boju. Sada dakle zašto oklijevate te ne dovedete natrag cara?

But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in the battle: how long are you silent, and bring not back the king?

11 Zato car David posla k Sadoku i Avijataru sveštenicima i poruèi: govorite starješinama Judinijem i recite: zašto vi da budete pošljednji koji æe cara natrag dovesti u kuæu njegovu? Jer govor svega Izrailja doðe do cara u kuæu njegovu.

And king David sent to Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests, saying: Speak to the ancients of Juda, saying: Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house? (For the talk of all Israel was come to the king in his house.)

12 Vi ste moja braæa, vi ste kost moja i tijelo moje. Zašto biste dakle bili pošljednji koji æe natrag dovesti cara?

You are my brethren, you are my bone, and my flesh, why are you the last to bring back the king?

13 Recite i Amasi: nijesi li kost moja i tijelo moje? Bog neka mi uèini tako i tako neka doda, ako mi ne budeš vojvoda dok si živ na mjesto Joava.

And say ye to Amasa: Art not thou my bone, and my flesh? So do God to me and add more, if thou be not the chief captain of the army before me always in the place of Joab.

14 I skloni srca svijeh ljudi od roda Judina kao jednoga èovjeka, te poslaše k caru govoreæi: vrati se sa svijem slugama svojim.

And be inclined the heart of all the men of Juda, as it were of one man: and they sent to the king, saying: Return thou, and all thy servants.

15 I tako se car vrati, i doðe do Jordana; a Juda doðe do Galgala da srete cara i da ga prevede preko Jordana.

And the king returned and came as far as the Jordan, and all Juda came as far as Galgal to meet the king, and to bring him over the Jordan.

16 Pohitje i Simej sin Girin od Venijamina, koji bijaše iz Vaurima, i siðe s ljudima roda Judina na susret caru Davidu;

And Semei the son of Gera the son of Jemini of Bahurim, made haste and went down with the men of Juda to meet king David,

17 I tisuæa ljudi bješe s njim od roda Venijaminova; takoðer i Siva sluga doma Saulova s petnaest sinova svojih i dvadeset sluga svojih; i prijeðoše preko Jordana pred cara.

With a thousand men of Benjamin, and Siba the servant of the house of Saul: and his fifteen sons, and twenty servants were with him: and going over the Jordan,

18 Preturiše i laðu da prevezu èeljad carevu i da uèine što bi mu bilo ugodno. A Simej sin Girin pade pred carem, kad šæaše da prijeðe preko Jordana,

They passed the fords before the king, that they might help over the king’s household, and do according to his commandment. And Semei the son of Gera falling down before the king, when he was come over the Jordan,

19 I reèe caru: ne primi mi bezakonja, gospodaru moj, i ne pominji pakosti koju je uèinio sluga tvoj u onaj dan kad je car gospodar moj izašao iz Jerusalima; neka car ne misli o tom.

Said to him: Impute not to me, my lord, the iniquity, nor remember the injuries of thy servant on the day that thou, my lord, the king, wentest out of Jerusalem, nor lay it up in thy heart, O king.

20 Jer sluga tvoj vidi da je zgriješio; i evo došao sam danas prvi iz svega doma Josifova da sretem cara gospodara svojega.

For I thy servant acknowledge my sin: and therefore I am come this day the first of all the house of Joseph, and am come down to meet my lord the king.

21 Ali odgovori Avisaj sin Serujin i reèe: eda li toga radi neæe poginuti Simej što je psovao pomazanika Gospodnjega?

But Abisai the son of Sarvia answering, said: Shall Semei for these words not be put to death, because he cursed the Lord’s anointed?

22 A David reèe: šta je vama do mene, sinovi Serujini, te ste mi danas protivnici? zar æe danas poginuti ko u Izrailju? jer zar ne znam da sam danas postao car nad Izrailjem?

And David said: What have I to do with you, ye sons of Sarvia? why are you a satan this day to me? shall there any man be killed this day in Israel? do not I know that this day I am made king over Israel?

23 I reèe car Simeju: neæeš poginuti. I zakle mu se car.

And the king said to Semei: Thou shalt not die. And he swore unto him.

24 Tako i Mefivostej sin Saulov doðe caru na susret; on pak ne opra nogu svojih, niti brade svoje oèešlja, ni opra haljine svoje od onoga dana kad otide car do dana kad se vrati s mirom.

And Miphiboseth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and he had neither washed his feet, nor trimmed his beard: nor washed his garments from the day that the king went out, until the day of his return in peace.

25 I srete cara kad se vraæaše u Jerusalim; i reèe mu car: zašto ne poðe sa mnom, Mefivosteju?

And when he met the king at Jerusalem, the king said to him: Why camest thou not with me, Miphiboseth?

26 A on reèe: caru gospodaru moj, prevari me sluga moj; jer sluga tvoj reèe: osedlaæu sebi magarca i uzjahaæu ga i poæi æu s carem; jer je hrom sluga tvoj.

And he answering, said: My lord, O king, my servant despised me: for I thy servant spoke to him to saddle me an ass, that I might get on and go with the king: for I thy servant am lame.

27 I on opade slugu tvojega kod gospodara mojega cara; ali je car gospodar moj kao anðeo Božji; zato èini što ti je drago.

Moreover he hath also accused me thy servant to thee, my lord the king: but thou my lord the king art as an angel of God, do what pleaseth thee.

28 Jer sav dom oca mojega bijahu ljudi koji zaslužiše smrt pred carem gospodarem mojim, a ti posadi slugu svojega meðu one koji jedu za stolom tvojim. Pa kakvo imam još pravo, i kako se mogu još tužiti caru?

For all of my father’s house were no better than worthy of death before my lord the king; and thou hast set me thy servant among the guests of thy table: what just complaint therefore have I? or what right to cry any more to the king?

29 A car mu reèe: šta bi mi više govorio? kazao sam: ti i Siva podijelite njivu.

Then the king said to him: Why speakest thou any more? what I have said is determined: thou and Siba divide the possessions.

30 A Mefivostej reèe caru: neka uzme sve, kad se car gospodar moj vratio na miru u dom svoj.

And Miphiboseth answered the king: Yea, let him take all, for as much as my lord the king is returned peaceably into his house.

31 I Varzelaj od Galada doðe iz Rogelima, i poðe s carem preko Jordana da ga prati preko Jordana.

Berzellai also the Galaadite coming down from Rogelim, brought the king over the Jordan, being ready also to wait on him beyond the river.

32 A bješe Varzelaj vrlo star, bješe mu osamdeset godina, i hranjaše cara dok bijaše u Mahanajimu, jer bješe vrlo bogat èovjek.

Now Berzellai the Galaadite was of a great age, that is to say, fourscore years old, and he provided the king with sustenance when he abode in the camp: for he was a man exceeding rich.

33 I reèe car Varzelaju: hajde sa mnom; ja æu te hraniti kod sebe u Jerusalimu.

And the king said to Berzellai: Come with me that thou mayest rest secure with me in Jerusalem.

34 Ali Varzelaj reèe caru: koliko ima vijeka mojega, da idem s carem u Jerusalim?

And Berzellai said to the king: How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?

35 Ima mi danas osamdeset godina; mogu li raspoznavati dobro i zlo? može li sluga tvoj kusom razlikovati što æe jesti i što æe piti? mogu li jošte slušati glas pjevaèima i pjevaèicama? i zašto bi sluga tvoj još bio na tegotu caru gospodaru mojemu?

I am this day fourscore years old, are my senses quick to discern sweet and bitter? or can meat or drink delight thy servant? or can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? why should thy servant be a burden to my lord, the king?

36 Malo æe proæi sluga tvoj preko Jordana s carem; a zašto bi mi car tako naplatio?

I thy servant will go on a little way from the Jordan with thee: I need not this recompense.

37 Neka se sluga tvoj vrati, da umrem u svom gradu kod groba oca svojega i matere svoje. Nego evo, sluga tvoj Himam neka ide s carem gospodarem mojim, uèini njemu što ti bude drago.

But I beseech thee let thy servant return, and die in my own city, and be buried by the sepulchre of my father, and of my mother. But there is thy servant Chamaam, let him go with thee, my lord, the king, and do to him whatsoever seemeth good to thee.

38 A car reèe: neka ide sa mnom Himam; ja æu mu uèiniti što bude tebi drago, i što god zaišteš u mene, sve æu ti uèiniti.

Then the king said to him: Let Chamaam go over with me, and I will do for him whatsoever shall please thee, and all that thou shalt ask of me, thou shalt obtain.

39 I kad prijeðe sav narod preko Jordana i car prijeðe, cjelova car Varzelaja i blagoslovi ga, i on se vrati u mjesto svoje.

And when all the people and the king had passed over the Jordan, the king kissed Berzellai, and blessed him: and he returned to his own place.

40 Otuda car otide u Galgal, i Himam otide s njim. I tako sav narod Judin doprati cara, i polovina naroda Izrailjeva.

So the king went on to Galgal, and Chamaam with him. Now all the people of Juda had brought the king over, and only half of the people of Israel were there.

41 A gle, svi ljudi Izrailjci doðoše k caru i rekoše mu: zašto te ukradoše braæa naša, ljudi Judini, i prevedoše preko Jordana cara i dom njegov i sve ljude Davidove s njim?

Therefore all the men of Israel running together to the king, said to him: Why have our brethren the men of Juda stolen thee away, and have brought the king and his household over the Jordan, and all the men of David with him?

42 A svi ljudi od Jude odgovoriše ljudima od Izrailja: jer je car nama rod; pa što se srdite toga radi? jesmo li što pojeli caru? je li nas darom darivao?

And all the men of Juda answered the men of Israel: Because the king is nearer to me: why art thou angry for this matter? have we eaten any thing of the king’s, or have any gifts been given us?

43 Tada odgovoriše ljudi od Izrailja ljudima od Jude, i rekoše: mi imamo deset dijelova u cara, i Davidu smo više nego vi; zašto dakle ne mariste za nas? nijesmo li mi prvi govorili da dovedemo natrag cara svojega? Ali besjeda ljudi od Jude bješe tvrða od besjede ljudi od Izrailja.

And the men of Israel answered the men of Juda, and said: I have ten parts in the king more than thou, and David belongeth to me more than to thee: why hast thou done me a wrong, and why was it not told me first, that I might bring back my king? And the men of Juda answered more harshly than the men of Israel.
