2 Samuel 15
1 Pripetilo se je po tem, da si je Absalom pripravil vozove, konje in petdeset mož, da so tekli pred njim.
After this, Absalom prepared a chariot and horses for himself, and fifty men to run before him.
2 Absalom je vstajal zgodaj in stal poleg poti velikih vrat in to je bilo tako, da ko je katerikoli človek imel polemiko, je prišel h kralju za sodbo, potem mu je Absalom zaklical in rekel: »Iz katerega mesta si?« In ta je rekel: »Tvoj služabnik je iz enega izmed Izraelovih rodov.«
Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. When any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgement, then Absalom called to him, and said, “What city are you from?” He said, “Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.”
3 Absalom mu je rekel: »Poglej, tvoje zadeve so dobre in pravilne; toda tam ni nobenega človeka, poslanega od kralja, da te sliši.«
Absalom said to him, “Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you.”
4 Poleg tega je Absalom rekel: »Oh da bi mene postavili za sodnika v deželi, da bi vsak človek, ki ima kakršnokoli tožbo ali zadevo, lahko prišel k meni in bi mu jaz storil pravico!«
Absalom said moreover, “Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!”
5 In to je bilo tako, da ko je katerikoli moški prišel blizu k njemu, da se mu globoko prikloni, je svojo roko iztegnil naprej, ga prijel in ga poljubil.
It was so, that when any man came near to bow down to him, he stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and kissed him.
6 Na ta način je Absalom počel vsemu Izraelu, ki so hodili h kralju po sodbo. Tako je Absalom kradel srca Izraelovih mož.
Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgement. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
7 Pripetilo se je po štiridesetih letih, da je Absalom rekel kralju: »Prosim te, naj grem in izpolnim svojo zaobljubo, ki sem jo zaobljubil Gospodu v Hebrónu.
At the end of forty years, Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron.
8 Kajti tvoj služabnik se je zaobljubil, medtem ko je prebival pri Gešurju v Siriji, rekoč: ›Če me bo Gospod zares ponovno privedel v Jeruzalem, potem bom služil Gospodu.‹«
For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If the LORD shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.’”
9 Kralj mu je rekel: »Pojdi v miru.« Tako je vstal in odšel v Hebrón.
The king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he arose and went to Hebron.
10 Toda Absalom je poslal oglednike po vseh Izraelovih rodovih, rekoč: »Takoj ko zaslišite zvok šofarja, potem boste rekli: ›Absalom kraljuje v Hebrónu.‹«
But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ‘Absalom is king in Hebron!’”
11 Z Absalomom je iz Jeruzalema odšlo dvesto mož, ki so bili poklicani. Odšli pa so v svoji toposti in niso vedeli nobene stvari.
Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they didn’t know anything.
12 Absalom je poslal po Gilčana Ahitófela, Davidovega svetovalca, iz njegovega mesta, torej iz Gila, medtem ko je daroval klavne daritve. In zarota je bila močna, kajti ljudstvo je nenehno naraščalo z Absalomom.
Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. The conspiracy was strong, for the people increased continually with Absalom.
13 K Davidu je prišel poslanec, rekoč: »Srca Izraelovih mož sledijo Absalomu.«
A messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.”
14 David je rekel vsem svojim služabnikom, ki so bili z njim pri Jeruzalemu: »Vstanimo in pobegnimo, kajti sicer ne bomo pobegnili pred Absalomom. Pohitimo, da nas ne bi nenadoma dohitel in nad nas privedel zla in mesto udaril z ostrino meča.«
David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise! Let’s flee, or else none of us will escape from Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest he overtake us quickly and bring down evil on us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”
15 Kraljevi služabniki so rekli kralju: »Glej, tvoji služabniki so pripravljeni storiti, karkoli bo moj gospod kralj določil.«
The king’s servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses.”
16 Kralj je odšel naprej in vsa njegova družina za njim. Kralj pa je pustil deset žensk, ki so bile priležnice, da varujejo hišo.
The king went out, and all his household after him. The king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.
17 Kralj je odšel naprej in vse ljudstvo za njim in se mudil na kraju, ki je bil daleč proč.
The king went out, and all the people after him; and they stayed in Beth Merhak.
18 Vsi njegovi služabniki so šli poleg njega in vsi Keretéjci in vsi Péletovci in vsi Gitéjci, šeststo mož, ki so prišli za njim iz Gata, so prečkali pred kraljem.
All his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
19 Potem je kralj rekel Gitéjcu Itáju: »Čemu greš tudi ti z nami? Vrni se na svoj kraj in prebivaj s kraljem, kajti tujec si in tudi izgnanec.
Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why do you also go with us? Return, and stay with the king; for you are a foreigner and also an exile. Return to your own place.
20 Glede na to, da si prišel šele včeraj, ali naj te ta dan pripravim hoditi z nami gor in dol? Ker grem, kamor lahko, se vrni in svoje brate vzemi nazaj. Usmiljenje in resnica naj bosta s teboj.«
Whereas you came but yesterday, should I today make you go up and down with us, since I go where I may? Return, and take back your brothers. Mercy and truth be with you.”
21 Itáj je odgovoril kralju in rekel: » Kakor živi Gospod in kakor živi moj gospod kralj, zagotovo, na kateremkoli kraju bo moj gospod kralj, bodisi v smrti ali življenju, celo tam bo tudi tvoj služabnik.«
Ittai answered the king and said, “As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king is, whether for death or for life, your servant will be there also.”
22 David je rekel Itáju: »Pojdi in prečkaj.« Gitéjec Itáj je šel čez in vsi njegovi možje in vsi malčki, ki so bili z njim.
David said to Ittai, “Go and pass over.” Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him.
23 In vsa dežela je jokala z močnim glasom in vse ljudstvo je šlo čez. Tudi sam kralj je šel čez potok Kidron in vse ljudstvo je šlo čez, proti poti divjine.
All the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over. The king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over towards the way of the wilderness.
24 Glej, tudi Cadók in vsi Lévijevci so bili z njim, nesoč skrinjo Božje zaveze in odložili so Božjo skrinjo. Abjatár je odšel gor, dokler ni vse ljudstvo šlo iz mesta.
Behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down God’s ark; and Abiathar went up until all the people finished passing out of the city.
25 Kralj je Cadóku rekel: »Božjo skrinjo odnesite nazaj v mesto. Če bom našel naklonjenost v Gospodovih očeh, me bo ponovno privedel in mi pokazal oboje, to in njeno prebivališče,
The king said to Zadok, “Carry God’s ark back into the city. If I find favour in the LORD’s eyes, he will bring me again, and show me both it and his habitation;
26 toda če reče tako: ›Nimam veselja v tebi; ‹ glej, tukaj sem, naj mi stori, kakor se mu zdi dobro.«
but if he says, ‘I have no delight in you,’ behold, here I am. Let him do to me as seems good to him.”
27 Kralj je tudi rekel duhovniku Cadóku: » Mar nisi ti videc? V miru se vrni v mesto in tvoja dva sinova s teboj, tvoj sin Ahimáac in Jonatan, Abjatárjev sin.
The king said also to Zadok the priest, “Aren’t you a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
28 Glejte, mudil se bom na ravnini divjine, dokler ne bo prišla od vas beseda, da me potrdite.«
Behold, I will stay at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”
29 Torej Cadók in Abjatár sta Božjo skrinjo ponovno odnesla v Jeruzalem in ostala sta tam.
Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried God’s ark to Jerusalem again; and they stayed there.
30 David je odšel gor po pobočju Oljske gore in jokal, ko se je vzpenjal in svojo glavo je imel pokrito in hodil je bos. Vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, je vsak pokril svojo glavo in hodili so gor in jokali, medtem ko so hodili gor.
David went up by the ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered and went barefoot. All the people who were with him each covered his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
31 In nekdo je povedal Davidu, rekoč: »Ahitófel je z Absalomom med zarotniki.« David je rekel: »Oh Gospod, prosim te, obrni Ahitófelov nasvet v norost.«
Someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is amongst the conspirators with Absalom.” David said, “LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.”
32 Pripetilo se je, da ko je David prišel na vrh gore, kjer je oboževal Boga, glej, je prišel Arkéjec Hušáj, da ga sreča, s svojim pretrganim plaščem in zemljo na svoji glavi,
When David had come to the top, where God was worshipped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his tunic torn and earth on his head.
33 ki mu je David rekel: »Če greš z menoj naprej, potem mi boš v breme,
David said to him, “If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;
34 toda če se vrneš k mestu in rečeš Absalomu: ›Jaz bom tvoj služabnik, oh kralj, kakor sem bil doslej služabnik tvojega očeta, tako bom sedaj tudi tvoj služabnik, ‹ potem boš lahko zame premagal Ahitófelov nasvet.
but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king. As I have been your father’s servant in time past, so I will now be your servant; then will you defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.’
35 In ali nisi tam z duhovnikoma Cadókom in Abjatárjem? Zato naj bo, da kakršnokoli stvar boš slišal iz kraljeve hiše, boš to povedal duhovnikoma Cadóku in Abjatárju.
Don’t you have Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? Therefore whatever you hear out of the king’s house, tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
36 Glej, onadva imata tam s seboj svoja dva sinova, Cadókovega sina Ahimáaca in Abjatárjevega sina Jonatana. Po njima boste poslali k meni vsako stvar, ki jo lahko slišite.«
Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son. Send to me everything that you shall hear by them.”
37 Tako je Davidov prijatelj Hušáj prišel v mesto in Absalom je prišel v Jeruzalem.
So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
