2 Samuelova 19

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

Joab was told, “Look, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom.”

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

So the victory that day was turned into mourning for all the army, for the army heard it said that day, “The king is mourning 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.

The soldiers had to sneak quietly into the city that day, like people who are ashamed sneak away when they run from battle.

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

The king covered his face and cried in a loud voice, “My son Absalom, Absalom, 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.

Then Joab entered into the house to the king and said to him, “You have shamed the faces of all your soldiers today, who have saved your life today, and the lives of your sons and of your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and the lives of your slave wives,

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.

because you love those who hate you, and you hate those who love you. For today you have shown that commanders and soldiers are nothing to you. Today I believe that if Absalom had lived, and we all had died, then that would have pleased you.

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 get up and go out and speak kindly to your soldiers, for I swear by Yahweh, if you do not go, not one man will remain with you tonight. That would be worse for you than all the disasters that have ever happened to you from your 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.

So the king got up and sat in the city gate, and all the people were told, “Look, the king is sitting in the gate,” and all the people came before the king. So Israel fled, every man to his home.

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.

All the people were arguing with each other throughout all the tribes of Israel saying, “The king rescued us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines, but now he has run out of the land because of Absalom.

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

Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in battle. So why do you say nothing 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.

King David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests saying, “Speak to the elders of Judah saying, 'Why are you the last to bring the king back to his palace, since the talk of all Israel favors the king, to bring him back to his palace?

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 brothers, my flesh and bone. Why then 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.

Then say to Amasa, 'Are you not my flesh and my bone? God do so to me, and more also, if you are not captain of my army from now on 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.

So he won the hearts of all the men of Judah as one man. They sent to the king saying, “Return, you and all your men.”

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 to the Jordan. Now the men of Judah came to Gilgal to go to meet the king and then to bring the king across the Jordan.

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

Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was from Bahurim, hurried 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.

There were one thousand men from Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of Saul, and his fifteen sons and twenty servants with him. They crossed through the Jordan in the presence of 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,

They crossed to bring over the king's family and to do whatever he thought good. Shimei son of Gera bowed down before the king just before he began to cross 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.

Shimei said to the king, “Do not, my master, find me guilty or call to mind the wrong your servant did the day my master the king left Jerusalem. Please, may the king not take it to 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 your servant knows that I have sinned. See, that is why I have come today as the first from all the family of Joseph to come down to meet my master the king.”

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

But Abishai son of Zeruiah answered and said, “Should not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed Yahweh'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?

Then David said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should today be adversaries to me? Will any man be put to death today in Israel? For do I not know that today I am king over Israel?”

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

So the king said to Shimei, “You will not die.” So the king promised him with an oath.

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.

Then Mephibosheth son of Saul came down to meet the king. He had not dressed his feet, or trimmed his beard, or washed his clothes from the day the king left until the day he came home in peace.

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

So when he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, the king said to him, “Why did you 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.

He answered, “My master the king, my servant deceived me, for I said, 'I will saddle a donkey so I may ride on it and go with the king, because your 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.

My servant Ziba has slandered me, your servant, to my master the king. But my master the king is like an angel of God. Therefore, do what is good in your 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 my father's house were dead men before my master the king, but you set your servant among those who ate at your own table. What right therefore have I that I should still 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 explain anything further? I have decided that you and Ziba will divide the fields.”

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

So Mephibosheth replied to the king, “Yes, let him take it all, since my master the king has come safely to his own home.”

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

Then Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim to cross over the Jordan with the king, and he accompanied the king 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 a very old man, eighty years old. He had furnished the king with provisions while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very wealthy man.

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

The king said to Barzillai, “Come over with me, and I will provide for you to stay with me in Jerusalem.”

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

Barzillai replied to the king, “How many days are left in 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. Can I distinguish between good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should your servant be a burden to my master the king?

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

Your servant would like to just go over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king repay me with such a 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.

Please let your servant return back home, so I may die in my own city by the grave of my father and my mother. But see, here is your servant Kimham. Let him cross over with my master the king, and do for him what seems good to you.”

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.

The king answered, “Kimham will go over with me, and I will do for him what seems good to you, and whatever you desire from me, I do that for you.”

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

Then all the people crossed the Jordan, and the king crossed over, and the king kissed Barzillai and blessed him. Then Barzillai returned to his own home.

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 crossed over to Gilgal, and Kimham crossed over with him. All the army of Judah brought the king over, and also half the army 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?

Soon all the men of Israel began to come to the king and say to the king, “Why have our brothers, the men of Judah, stolen you away and brought the king and his family 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?

So the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “It is because the king is more closely related to us. Why then are you angry about this? Have we eaten anything that the king had to pay for? Has he given us any gifts?”

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.

The men of Israel answered the men of Judah, “We have ten tribes related to the king, so we have even more right to David than you. Why then did you despise us? Was not our proposal to bring back our king the first to be heard?” But the words of the men of Judah were even more harsh than the words of the men of Israel.
