2 Samuelova 19

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

And it was told unto Joab, Behold, the king is weeping and he mourneth for Abshalom.

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 on that day was turned into mourning unto all the people; for the people heard it said on that day, that the king was grieved 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 repaired by stealth on that day when coming into the city, as usually steal away the people who are ashamed when they flee in battle.

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

But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Abshalom, O Abshalom, my son, 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.

And Joab came to the king, into the house, and said, Thou hast covered with shame this day the faces of all thy servants, who have saved thy life this day, and the life of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the life of thy wives, and the life 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.

Since thou lovest thy enemies, and hatest thy friends: for thou hast declared this day, that thou hast neither princes nor servants; for I perceive this day, that if Abshalom were but alive, and we all were dead this day, that then it would have been just right in thy eyes.

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.

And now arise, go forth, and speak to the heart of thy servants; for by the Lord have I sworn, that if thou go not forth, there shall not remain one man with thee this night: and this would be worse unto thee than all the evil that hath 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 they told it unto all the people, saying, Behold, the king is sitting in the gate. And all the people came before the king; but Israel fled, every man to his tents.

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 contending throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king hath saved us out of the hand of our enemies, and he it was that hath delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land from before Abshalom.

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

And Abshalom, whom we had anointed over us, died in battle: and now why are ye silent about bringing the king back?

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 Zadok and to Ebyathar the priests, saying, Speak ye unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why will you be the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is already come to the king, to his house.

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

My brothers are ye, my bone and my flesh are ye: wherefore then will you be 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 to 'Amassa shall ye say, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? May God do so to me, and may he thus continue to do, if thou shalt not be captain of the army before me continually in the room 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 he turned the heart of all the men of Judah, as of one man: and these sent unto the king, Return thou, with 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.

So the king returned, and came as far as the Jordan; and Judah came to Gilgal, to go forth to meet the king, to conduct the king 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;

Then hastened Shim'i the son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was of Bachurim, and went down with the men of Judah 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.

And there were with him a thousand men of Benjamin, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they set hastily over the Jordan before the king.

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,

And there went over the ferry-boat to carry over the king's household, and to do what was good in his eyes. And Shim'i the son of Gera fell down before the king, as he was passing 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.

And he said unto the king, Let not my Lord impute it unto me as iniquity, neither do thou remember that in which thy servant acted perversely on the day that my Lord the king went forth out of Jerusalem, so that the king should lay it to his heart.

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

For thy servant doth know that I have indeed sinned; and, behold, I am come this day the first of all the house of Joseph to go 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 Abishai the son of Zeruyah spoke out and said, Shall Shim'i for this 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 Zeruyah, that ye should become a hindrance this day unto me? shall this day any man be put to death in Israel? for do I not know that this day I am king over Israel?

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

And the king said unto Shim'i, Thou shalt not die. And the king 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 Mephibosheth the [grand] son of Saul came down to meet the king, and he had not dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day that the king departed until the day that he came home in peace.

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

And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore didst thou not go with me, Mephibosheth?

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 answered, My Lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for thy servant said, I will saddle for me the ass, that I may ride thereon, and go with the king; because thy servant is 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.

And he slandered thy servant unto my Lord the king; but my Lord the king is like an angel of God: do then what is good in thy eyes.

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 nothing but men deserving death with my Lord the king: and yet didst thou set thy servant among those that eat at thy own table. What other merit therefore have I, and what to complain of yet farther unto the king?

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

And the king said unto him, For what purpose speakest thou yet thy words? I have said, Thou and Ziba shall divide the field.

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

And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea, let him take the whole, since that my Lord the king is come [back] in peace unto his own house.

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

And Barzillai the Gil'adite came down from Rogelim; and he passed over the Jordan with the king, to accompany him over the Jordan.

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

Now Barzillai was very aged, eighty years old: and he had sustained the king while he lay at Machanayim; for he was a very great man.

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

And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will sustain thee near me in Jerusalem.

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

But Barzillai said unto the king, How many yet 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 eighty years old this day: can I discern between good and evil? or can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? or can I listen yet to the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant become yet a burden unto my Lord the king?

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

Thy servant will pass a little way over the Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense me with this reward?

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.

Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in my own city, by the sepulchre of my father and of my mother. But, behold, thy servant Kimham will pass over with my Lord the king; and do to him what is good in thy eyes.

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.

And the king said, Kimham shall pass over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good in thy eyes: and whatsoever thou wilt desire of me, will I do for thee.

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 all the people passed over the Jordan, after the king had passed over; and the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned unto 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.

Then did the king pass on to Gilgal, and Kimham passed on with him: and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the people of Israel.

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?

And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said unto the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and have conducted the king and his household over the Jordan, and all David's men 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 Judah replied to the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us: wherefore then are ye so angry for this matter? have we eaten the least from the king? or hath he given us any gift?

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 Judah, and said, Ten parts have we in the king, and also in David have we more right than ye: why then did ye esteem us lightly? and was not our word the very first to bring back our king? And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
