1 Kings, 2

1. Now the days of David had drawn near, so that he would die, and he instructed his son Solomon, saying:

1. Kad su se dani Davidovi približavali svome svršetku, zapovjedi David svome sinu Salomonu:

2. “I am entering the way of all the earth. Be strengthened and be a good man.

2. "Sada polazim na put sviju smrtnika. Ti budi hrabar i pokaži se èovjekom!

3. And observe the care of the Lord your God, so that you walk in his ways, so that you care for his ceremonies, and his precepts, and judgments, and testimonies, just as it is written in the law of Moses. So may you understand everything that you do, in any direction that you may turn yourself.

3. Slušaj naredbe Jahve, Boga svoga, idi njegovim stazama, drži se njegovih zakona, zapovijedi, naredaba i njegovih pouka, kako je napisano u Zakonu Mojsijevu, da bi uspio u svemu što poduzmeš i svagdje kamo se okreneš;

4. So may the Lord confirm his words, which he has spoken about me, saying: ‘If your sons will guard their ways, and if they will walk before me in truth, with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not be taken away from you a man on the throne of Israel.’

4. da bi Jahve ispunio svoje obeæanje koje mi je dao: 'Ako sinovi tvoji budu pazili na svome putu, vjerno hodeæi preda mnom, svim srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom, uvijek æe jedan od njih sjediti na prijestolju Izraelovu.'

5. Also, you know what Joab, the son of Zeruiah, has done to me, what he did to the two leaders of the army of Israel, to Abner, the son of Ner, and to Amasa, the son of Jether. He killed them, and so he shed the blood of war in peace time, and he set the bloodshed of battle on his belt, which was around his waist, and in his shoes, which were on his feet.

5. I sam znaš što mi je uèinio Joab, sin Sarvijin, kako je uèinio obojici vojskovoða Izraelovih: Abneru, sinu Nerovu, i Amasi, sinu Jeterovu, kad ih je ubio i time prolio krv u miru kao u ratu te omastio krvlju pojas oko bokova svojih i obuæu na nogama svojim.

6. Therefore, act according to your wisdom. And you shall not allow his gray head to be led away to death in peace.

6. Ti postupi po svom razboru i ne daj da mu sijeda kosa mirno poèine u Podzemlju.

7. Then, too, repay grace to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite. And you shall allow them to eat at your table. For they met me when I fled from the face of Absalom, your brother.

7. A sinovima Barzilaja Gileaðanina vrati ljubav: neka budu meðu onima koji jedu za tvojim stolom jer su mi pomogli kad sam bježao pred tvojim bratom Abšalomom.

8. Also, you have with you Shimei, the son of Gera, the son of Benjamin, from Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse, when I went away to the camp. And he descended to meet me when I crossed over the Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying, ‘I will not put you to death by the sword,’

8. Pred sobom imaš Šimeja, sina Gerina, Benjaminovca iz Bahurima, koji me užasnim kletvama proklinjao onoga dana kad sam bježao u Mahanajim. Ali mi je on sišao u susret na Jordan i zakleh mu se Jahvom: 'Neæu te pogubiti maèem.'

9. yet do not choose to treat him as if he were innocent. Since you are a wise man, you will know what to do with him. And you shall lead away his grey hair to death with blood.”

9. Ali mu ti toga ne opraštaj, jer si èovjek razborit, i veæ æeš znati kako treba da postupiš te mu sijedu kosu s krvlju u Podzemlje spremiš."

10. And so, David slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David.

10. I potom poèinu David kraj otaca svojih i bi pokopan u Davidovu gradu.

11. Now the days during which David reigned over Israel are forty years: he reigned seven years in Hebron, thirty-three in Jerusalem.

11. David je kraljevao nad Izraelom èetrdeset godina: u Hebronu je kraljevao sedam godina, u Jeruzalemu je kraljevao trideset i tri godine.

12. Then Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was strengthened exceedingly.

12. Salomon sjede na prijestolje Davida, svoga oca, i njegova se vlast veoma uèvrsti.

13. And Adonijah, the son of Haggith, entered to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon. And she said to him, “Is your entrance peaceful?” He responded, “It is peaceful.”

13. Ali Adonija, sin Hagitin, doðe Bat-Šebi, majci Salomonovoj, i pade nièice pred njom. Ona ga upita: "Je li miroljubiv tvoj dolazak?" On odgovori: "Jest, miroljubiv je."

14. And he added, “My word is for you.” She said to him, “Speak.” And he said:

14. I nastavi: "Imam ti nešto reæi." Ona reèe: "Govori."

15. “You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all of Israel had preferred me for themselves as king. But the kingdom was transferred, and has become my brother’s. For it was appointed to him by the Lord.

15. Tada æe on: "Znaš i sama da je kraljevstvo pripadalo meni i da je sav Izrael oèekivao da æu ja biti kralj. Ali mi je kraljevstvo izmaklo i pripalo je mome bratu, jer mu ga je Jahve namijenio.

16. Now therefore, I beg of you one petition. May you not confound my face.” And she said to him, “Speak.”

16. Ja te sada samo jedno molim: nemoj me odbiti." Ona reèe: "Govori."

17. And he said: “I beg that you may speak to king Solomon, for he is not able to refuse anything to you, so that he may give Abishag the Shunammite to me as wife.”

17. A on nastavi: "Reci, molim te, kralju Salomonu - jer tebe neæe odbiti - neka mi dade za ženu Abišagu Šunamku!"

18. And Bathsheba said: “It is well. I will speak to the king on your behalf.”

18. A Bat-Šeba odgovori: "Dobro, govorit æu kralju o tebi."

19. Then Bathsheba went to king Solomon, so that she might speak to him on behalf of Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and he reverenced her, and he sat down upon his throne. And a throne was stationed for the mother of the king, and she sat at his right hand.

19. Kada dakle uðe Bat-Šeba kralju Salomonu da govori o Adoniji, ustade kralj i poðe joj u susret, pokloni se pred njom, zatim sjede na svoje prijestolje i zapovjedi te namjestiše sjedalicu za kraljicu majku, i ona mu sjede s desne strane.

20. And she said to him: “I petition one small request from you. May you not confound my face.” And the king said to her: “Ask, my mother. For it is not right that I turn away your face.”

20. Tada mu reèe: "Nešto bih zaiskala od tebe, nemoj me odbiti." Kralj joj odgovori: "Traži, majko, jer te neæu odbiti."

21. And she said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah, your brother, as wife.”

21. Ona nastavi: "Neka se dade Abišaga Šunamka tvome bratu Adoniji za ženu."

22. And king Solomon responded, and he said to his mother: “Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Why not request the kingdom for him! For he is my older brother, and he has Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the son of Zeruiah.”

22. Kralj Salomon odgovori i reèe svojoj majci: "Zašto tražiš Abišagu Šunamku za Adoniju? Traži odmah i kraljevstvo za njega! Jer on je moj stariji brat, a uz njega je sveæenik Ebjatar i Joab, sin Sarvijin!"

23. And so king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying: “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things! For Adonijah has spoken this word against his own life.

23. Tada se kralj Salomon zakle Jahvom: "Neka mi Bog uèini ovo zlo i neka mi doda drugo ako Adonija nije to izrekao danas po cijenu svoga života!

24. And now, as the Lord lives, who has confirmed me and placed me upon the throne of my father David, and who, just as he said, has made a house for me: Adonijah shall be put to death this day.”

24. Živoga mi Jahve, koji me potvrdio i posadio na prijestolje oca moga Davida i koji mi je dao dom kako je obeæao: još danas æe Adonija umrijeti."

25. And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who put him to death, and so he died.

25. I kralj Salomon posla Benaju, sina Jojadina, koji ga udari te Adonija umrije.

26. Also, the king said to Abiathar, the priest: “Go into Anathoth, to your own land, for you are a man worthy of death. But I will not put you to death this day, since you carried the ark of the Lord God before David, my father, and since you have endured hardship in all the things, for which my father labored.”

26. Sveæeniku Ebjataru kralj zatim naredi: "Idi u Anatot na svoj posjed. Zaslužio si smrt, ali te neæu pogubiti danas jer si nosio Jahvin Kovèeg pred ocem mojim Davidom i podijelio si sve patnje s mojim ocem."

27. Therefore, Solomon cast out Abiathar, so that he would not be the priest of the Lord, so that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke over the house of Eli at Shiloh.

27. I Salomon iskljuèi Ebjatara iz sveæenstva Jahvina da tako ispuni Jahvinu rijeè koju je izrekao protiv doma Elijeva u Šilu.

28. And the news came to Joab, for Joab had turned aside after Adonijah, and he had not turned aside after Solomon. And so, Joab fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and he took hold of the horn of the altar.

28. Kada je glas stigao Joabu - Joab bijaše pristao uz Adoniju, premda se nije prikljuèio Abšalomu - on uteèe u Šator Jahvin i uhvati se za rogove žrtvenika.

29. And it was reported to king Solomon that Joab had fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and that he was beside the altar. And Solomon sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, put him to death.”

29. I dojaviše kralju Salomonu: "Joab je pobjegao u Šator Jahvin, eno ga pokraj žrtvenika." Tada Salomon poruèi Joabu: "Što se držiš žrtvenika?" Joab odgovori: "Uplašio sam se tebe i pobjegao sam pred Jahvu." Tada Salomon naredi Benaji, sinu Jojadinu: "Idi i ubij ga!"

30. And Benaiah went to the tabernacle of the Lord, and he said to him: “The king says this: ‘Come out.’ ” But he said: “I will not come out. Instead, I will die here.” Benaiah sent word back to the king, saying, “Joab said this, and he responded to me in this way.”

30. Benaja ode u Šator Jahvin i reèe Joabu: "Po naredbi kraljevoj: iziði!" On odgovori: "Neæu, želim ovdje umrijeti!" Benaja javi kralju: "Eto što mi je rekao Joab i što mi je odgovorio."

31. And the king said to him, “Do just as he has said. And put him to death, and bury him. And so shall you take away the innocent blood, which was shed by Joab, from me and from my father’s house.

31. Kralj mu reèe: "Uèini kako je rekao: ubij ga, zatim pokopaj. Tako æeš danas skinuti s mene i doma oca moga nevinu krv koju je Joab prolio.

32. And the Lord shall repay his blood upon his own head. For he killed two men, just and better than himself, and he killed them with the sword, while my father, David, did not know it: Abner, the son of Ner, leader of the military of Israel, and Amasa, the son of Jether, leader of the army of Judah.

32. Jahve æe uèiniti da krv njegova padne na njegovu glavu, jer je ubio dva èovjeka pravednika i bolja od sebe; ubio ih je maèem bez znanja moga oca Davida: Abnera, sina Nerova, voðu vojske Izraelove, i Amasu, sina Jeterova, vojvodu judejskoga.

33. And their blood shall be turned back upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his offspring forever. But as for David, and his offspring and house, and his throne, may there be peace from the Lord, even unto eternity.”

33. Neka njihova krv padne na glavu Joaba i njegova potomstva dovijeka, a Davidu, njegovu potomstvu, vladalaèkoj kuæi i prijestolju neka od Jahve bude trajan mir."

34. And so Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, went up and, attacking him, put him to death. And he was buried in his own house in the desert.

34. I ode Benaja, sin Jojadin, obori se na Joaba i usmrti ga. Pokopali su Joaba u njegovu domu u pustinji.

35. And the king appointed Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, in his place over the army. And he appointed Zadok, the priest, in place of Abiathar.

35. Mjesto njega postavi kralj na èelo vojske Benaju, sina Jojadina, a na mjesto Ebjatara postavi sveæenika Sadoka.

36. Also, the king sent for and summoned Shimei, and he said to him: “Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem, and live there. And do not depart from that place to here or to there.

36. Salomon pozva Šimeja i reèe mu: "Sagradi sebi kuæu u Jeruzalemu: tu stanuj, i nikamo odatle ne izlazi.

37. For on whatever day you will have departed and crossed the torrent Kidron, know that you shall be put to death. Your blood will be upon your own head.”

37. Onoga dana kad iziðeš i prijeðeš potok Kidron, znaj dobro da æeš umrijeti. Krv tvoja na glavu tvoju."

38. And Shimei said to the king: “The word is good. Just as my lord the king has said, so will your servant do.” And so Shimei lived in Jerusalem for many days.

38. Šimej odgovori kralju: "Dobro. Kako moj gospodar kralj kaže, tako æe uèiniti sluga tvoj." I Šimej dugo življaše u Jeruzalemu.

39. But it happened that, after three years, the servants of Shimei fled to Achish, the son of Maacah, the king of Gath. And it was reported to Shimei that his servants had gone away to Gath.

39. Ali poslije tri godine dogodi se te Šimeju pobjegoše dvojica slugu k Akišu, sinu Maakinu, kralju gatskom. I dojaviše Šimeju: "Eno ti slugu u Gatu."

40. And Shimei rose up, and he saddled his donkey. And went away to Achish in Gath, in order to seek his servants. And he led them away from Gath.

40. Tada usta Šimej, osedla magarca i ode u Gat, k Akišu, da traži svoje sluge. I vratio se Šimej i doveo svoje sluge iz Gata.

41. And it was reported to Solomon that Shimei had gone away from Jerusalem to Gath, and had returned.

41. I javiše Salomonu: "Šimej otišao iz Jeruzalema u Gat i vratio se."

42. And sending, he summoned him, and he said to him: “Did I not testify to you by the Lord, and warn you in advance, ‘On whatever day, having departed, you go forth to here or to there, know that you shall die?’ And you responded to me, ‘The word that I have heard is good.’

42. Kralj pozva Šimeja i reèe mu: "Nisam li ti se zakleo Jahvom i strogo te opomenuo: 'Onoga dana kad budeš izišao i pošao bilo kamo, znaj dobro da æeš umrijeti!' A ti si mi tada odgovorio: 'Dobra je rijeè koju sam èuo.'

43. Then why have you not kept the oath to the Lord, and the commandment which I instructed to you?”

43. Zašto nisi održao zakletvu Jahvinu i zapovijed koju sam ti dao?"

44. And the king said to Shimei: “You know all the evil, of which your heart is conscious, which you did to David, my father. The Lord has repaid your wickedness upon your own head.”

44. Još reèe kralj Šimeju: "Ti znaš sve zlo koje si uèinio mome ocu Davidu. Tvoje je srce toga svjesno. Jahve neka uèini da se tvoja zloæa obori na tvoju glavu.

45. And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord, even forever.

45. A blagoslovljen je kralj Salomon, i prijestolje æe Davidovo biti èvrsto pred Jahvom dovijeka."

46. And so the king commanded Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada. And going out, he struck him down, and he died.

46. I zapovjedi kralj Benaji, sinu Jojadinu, te on iziðe i udari Šimeja i tako Šimej umrije. Tako se uèvrstilo kraljevstvo u ruci Salomonovoj.
