2 Samuel, 19

1. Now it was reported to Joab that the king was weeping and mourning for his son.

1. Kralj zadrhta, pope se u gornju odaju nad vratima i zaplaka; jecajuæi govoraše ovako: "Sine Abšalome, sine moj! Sine moj Abšalome! Oh, da sam ja umro mjesto tebe! Abšalome, sine moj, sine moj!"

2. And so the victory on that day was turned into mourning for all the people. For the people heard it said on that day, “The king is grieving over his son.”

2. I javiše Joabu: "Eno kralj plaèe i tuguje za Abšalomom."

3. And the people declined to enter the city on that day, in the manner that the people were accustomed to decline if they had turned and fled from battle.

3. Tako se pobjeda u onaj dan pretvorila u žalost za svu vojsku, jer je vojska èula u onaj dan da kralj tuguje za svojim sinom.

4. And the king covered his head, and he was crying out in a great voice: “My son, Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!”

4. I toga se dana vojskom kradom vrati u grad, kao što se kradom šulja vojska koja se osramotila bježeæi iz boja.

5. Therefore, Joab, entering to the king in the house, said: “Today you have shamed the faces of all your servants, who saved your life, and the lives of your sons and your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines.

5. A kralj je pokrio svoje lice i vapio iza glasa: "Sine moj Abšalome! Abšalome, sine moj! Sine moj!"

6. You love those who hate you, and you hate those who love you. And you have revealed this day that you have no concern for your leaders and for your servants. And truly, I know now that if Absalom had lived, and if we all had been killed, then it would have pleased you.

6. Tada Joab doðe kralju u kuæu i reèe mu: "Postiðuješ danas lice svih svojih slugu koji su danas spasili život tebi, život tvojim sinovima i tvojim kæerima, život tvojim ženama i život inoèama tvojim,

7. Now then, rise up and go out, and speak so as to make amends to your servants. For I swear to you by the Lord that if you will not go forth, not even one person will be left with you this night. And this will be worse for you than all the evils that have come to you, from your youth even to the present.”

7. jer iskazuješ ljubav onima koji te mrze, a mržnju onima koji te ljube. Danas si pokazao da ti ništa nije ni do vojvoda ni do vojnika, jer vidim sada da bi ti sasvim pravo bilo kad bi Abšalom bio živ, a mi svi da smo danas poginuli.

8. Therefore, the king rose up, and he sat at the gate. And it was announced to all the people that the king was sitting at the gate. And the entire multitude went before the king. But Israel fled to their own tents.

8. Zato sada ustani, iziði i prijazno progovori svojim vojnicima; jer, kunem ti se Jahvom, ako ne iziðeš, nijedan èovjek neæe ostati noæas s tobom, i to æe ti biti veæa nesreæa od svih koje su te snašle od tvoje mladosti pa do sada."

9. And all the people were conflicted, in all the tribes of Israel, saying: “The king has freed us from the hand of our enemies. He himself saved us from the hand of the Philistines. But now he flees from the land for the sake of Absalom.

9. Kralj ustade i sjede na vrata. Javiše to svemu narodu govoreæi: "Eno kralj sjedi na vratima." I sav narod doðe pred kralja. A Izraelci bijahu pobjegli svaki u svoj šator.

10. But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in the war. How long will you be silent, and not lead back the king?”

10. I sav se narod po svim Izraelovim plemenima prepirao govoreæi: "Kralj nas je izbavio iz ruku naših neprijatelja, on nas je izbavio iz ruku filistejskih, a sada je morao pobjeæi iz zemlje ispred Abšaloma.

11. Then truly, king David sent to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, saying: “Speak to those greater by birth of Judah, saying: ‘Why have you arrived last to lead back the king into his house? (For the talk in all of Israel had reached the king in his house.)

11. A Abšalom koga smo pomazali za kralja poginuo je u boju. Zašto se, dakle, kolebate dovesti kralja natrag?"

12. You are my brothers; you are my bone and my flesh. Why are you the last to lead back the king?’

12. Te rijeèi svega Izraela dopru do kralja u njegovu kuæu. Zato kralj David poruèi sveæenicima Sadoku i Ebjataru: "Recite starješinama judejskim ovako: 'Zašto da vi budete posljednji koji æe kralja dovesti u njegovu kuæu?

13. And say to Amasa: ‘Are you not my bone and my flesh? May God do these things, and may he add these other things, if you will not be the leader of the military in my sight, for all time, in the place of Joab.’ ”

13. Vi ste moja braæa, vi ste od moga mesa i od mojih kosti. Zašto biste, dakle, bili posljednji koji æe dovesti kralja natrag?'

14. And he inclined the heart of all the men of Judah, as if one man. And they sent to the king, saying, “Return, you and all your servants.”

14. Recite i Amasi: 'Nisi li ti od mojih kosti i od moga mesa? Neka mi Bog uèini zlo i neka mi doda drugo ako mi ne budeš zauvijek vojvoda nad mojom vojskom namjesto Joaba!'"

15. And the king returned. And he went as far as the Jordan, and all of Judah went as far as Gilgal, so as to meet the king, and to lead him across the Jordan.

15. Tada se složiše svi ljudi Judina roda kao jedan èovjek i poruèiše kralju: "Vrati se sa svim svojim ljudima!"

16. And Shimei, the son of Gera, the son of Benjamin, from Bahurim, hurried and descended with the men of Judah to meet king David,

16. I tako se kralj vrati i doðe do Jordana, a Judejci bijahu stigli do Gilgala dolazeæi u susret kralju da prate kralja na prijelazu preko Jordana.

17. with one thousand men from Benjamin, and with Ziba, the servant from the house of Saul. And with him were his fifteen sons and twenty servants. And going into the Jordan,

17. Tada je pohitio i Šimej, sin Gerin, Benjaminovac iz Bahurima, i sišao s Judejcima u susret kralju Davidu.

18. they crossed the fords before the king, so that they might lead across the house of the king, and might act in accord with his order. Then, Shimei, the son of Gera, prostrating himself before the king after he had now gone across the Jordan,

18. Imao je sa sobom tisuæu ljudi od Benjaminova plemena. I Siba, sluga Šaulova doma, sa petnaest svojih sinova i dvadeset svojih slugu, doðe do Jordana pred kralja.

19. said to him: “May you not impute to me, my lord, the iniquity, nor call to mind the injuries, of your servant in the day that you, my lord the king, departed from Jerusalem. And may you not store it up in your heart, O king.

19. Dovezli su splav da prevezu kraljevu èeljad i da uèine sve što bi mu bilo drago. A Gerin sin Šimej baci se pred noge kralju kad je kralj htio prijeæi preko Jordana;

20. For as your servant, I acknowledge my sin. And for this reason, today, I arrive as the first from all the house of Joseph, and I descend to meet my lord the king.”

20. i reèe kralju: "Neka mi moj gospodar ne upiše u grijeh! Ne opominji se zla što ti ga je uèinio tvoj sluga u onaj dan kad je moj gospodar i kralj izlazio iz Jeruzalema. Neka to kralj ne uzima k srcu!

21. Yet truly, Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, responding, said, “Should not Shimei, because of these words, be killed, since he cursed the Christ of the Lord?”

21. Tvoj sluga uviða da je sagriješio; zato sam, evo, došao danas prvi iz svega Josipova doma da siðem u susret svome gospodaru i kralju."

22. And David said: “What is it to me and to all of you, O sons of Zeruiah? Why are you acting toward me this day like Satan? Why should any man be put to death on this day in Israel? Or do you not know that today I have been made king over Israel?”

22. Ali Sarvijin sin Abišaj progovori i reèe: "Zar Šimej ne zaslužuje smrt što je proklinjao pomazanika Jahvina?"

23. And the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” And he swore to him.

23. A David odgovori: "Što ja imam s vama, Sarvijini sinovi, te me danas uvodite u napast? Zar bi danas mogao tko biti pogubljen u Izraelu? TÓa sada znam da sam danas opet kralj nad Izraelom."

24. And Mephibosheth, the son of Saul, descended to meet the king, with unwashed his feet and uncut beard. And he had not washed his garments from the day that the king had departed, until the day of his return in peace.

24. Tada kralj reèe Šimeju: "Neæeš poginuti!" I kralj mu se zakle.

25. And when he had met the king at Jerusalem, the king said to him, “Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?”

25. I Šaulov sin Meribaal sišao je u susret kralju. On nije njegovao ni svojih nogu ni svojih ruku, nije ureðivao svoje brade, nije prao svojih haljina od onoga dana kad je otišao kralj pa sve do dana kad se opet vratio u miru.

26. And in response, he said: “My lord the king, my servant spurned me. And I, your servant, spoke to him so that he might saddle a donkey for me, and I might climb upon it and go with the king. For I, your servant, am lame.

26. Kad je iz Jeruzalema došao u susret kralju, upita ga kralj: "Zašto nisi pošao sa mnom, Meribaale?"

27. Moreover, he also accused me, your servant, to you, my lord the king. But you, my lord the king, are like an Angel of God. Do whatever is pleasing to you.

27. A on odgovori: "Kralju gospodaru! Moj me sluga prevario. Tvoj mu je sluga rekao: 'Osamari mi magaricu da je uzjašem i poðem s kraljem!' Jer tvoj je sluga hrom.

28. For my father’s house was deserving of nothing but death before my lord the king. Yet you have placed me, your servant, among the guests of your table. Therefore, what just complaint might I have? Or what else can I cry out to the king?”

28. On je oklevetao tvoga slugu pred mojim gospodarom i kraljem. Ali moj je gospodar i kralj kao Božji anðeo: zato èini što je dobro u tvojim oèima.

29. Then the king said to him: “Why are you still speaking? What I have spoken is fixed. You and Ziba shall divide the possessions.”

29. Jer sav moj oèinski dom nije bio drugo zaslužio nego smrt od moga gospodara kralja, a ti si ipak primio svoga slugu meðu one koji jedu za tvojim stolom. Pa kako još imam pravo tužiti se kralju?"

30. And Mephibosheth responded to the king, “But now let him take it all, since my lord the king has been returned peacefully into his own house.”

30. A kralj mu odgovori: "Èemu da još duljiš svoj govor? Odreðujem: ti i Siba podijelite njive!"

31. Likewise, Barzillai the Gileadite, descending from Rogelim, led the king across the Jordan, having prepared also to follow him beyond the river.

31. Meribaal reèe kralju: "Neka uzme i sve, kad se moj gospodar kralj sretno vratio u svoj dom!"

32. Now Barzillai the Gileadite was very old, that is, eighty years old. And he provided the king with sustenance when he was staying at the encampment. For indeed, he was an exceedingly rich man.

32. I Barzilaj Gileaðanin doðe iz Rogelima i nastavi s kraljem da ga isprati preko Jordana.

33. And so the king said to Barzillai, “Come with me, so that you may rest securely with me in Jerusalem.”

33. Barzilaj bijaše vrlo star, bilo mu je osamdeset godina. Pribavljao je kralju opskrbu dok je boravio u Mahanajimu jer bijaše vrlo imuæan èovjek.

34. And Barzillai said to the king: “How many days remain in the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?

34. Kralj reèe Barzilaju: "Poði sa mnom, ja æu te u tvojim starim danima uzdržavati kod sebe u Jeruzalemu."

35. Today I am eighty years old. Are my senses quick to discern sweet and bitter? Or is food and drink able to delight your servant? Or can I still hear the voice of men and women singers? Why should your servant be a burden to my lord the king?

35. A Barzilaj odgovori kralju: "A koliko mi još godina života ostaje da idem s kraljem u Jeruzalem?

36. I, your servant, shall procede a little ways from the Jordan with you. I am not in need of this recompense.

36. Sada mi je osamdeset godina; mogu li još razlikovati što je dobro a što zlo? Može li tvojem sluzi još goditi što jede i pije? Mogu li još slušati glas pjevaèa i pjevaèica? Zašto bi tvoj sluga bio još na teret mome gospodaru kralju?

37. But I beg you that I, your servant, may be returned and may die in my own city, and may be buried beside the sepulcher of my father and my mother. But there is your servant Chimham; let him go with you, my lord the king. And do for him whatever seems good to you.”

37. Tvoj æe sluga još samo prijeæi preko Jordana s kraljem, ali zašto bi mi kralj dao takvu nagradu?

38. And so the king said to him: “Let Chimham cross over with me, and I will do for him whatever will be pleasing to you. And all that you ask of me, you shall obtain.”

38. Dopusti svome sluzi da se vrati, da umrem u svom gradu kod groba svoga oca i svoje majke. Ali evo tvoga sluge Kimhama, neka ide dalje s mojim gospodarom kraljem, pa njemu uèini što je dobro u tvojim oèima!"

39. And when the entire people and the king had crossed over the Jordan, the king kissed Barzillai, and he blessed him. And he returned to his own place.

39. Kralj odgovori: "Neka onda Kimham ide sa mnom dalje, a ja æu mu uèiniti što bude tebi drago i što god me zamoliš sve æu mu uèiniti za tebe."

40. Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went with him. Now all the people of Judah had led the king across, but only as much as one half part of the people of Israel were there.

40. Kad je sav narod prešao preko Jordana, prijeðe i kralj, poljubi Barzilaja i blagoslovi ga, potom se ovaj vrati u svoje mjesto.

41. And so, all the men of Israel, running to the king, said to him: “Why have our brothers, the men of Judah, stolen you away. And why have they led the king and his house across the Jordan, and all the men of David with him?”

41. Kralj nastavi put u Gilgal, a Kimham iðaše s njim. Kralja je pratio sav narod Judin i polovina naroda Izraelova.

42. And all the men of Judah responded to the men of Israel: “Because the king is nearer to me. Why are you angry over this matter? Have we eaten anything belonging to the king, or have any gifts been given to us?”

42. Uto svi Izraelci doðu pred kralja i upitaju ga: "Zašto te naša braæa Judejci ukradoše i zašto prevedoše preko Jordana našega kralja i njegov dom i sve Davidove ljude s njim?"

43. And the men of Israel responded to the men of Judah, and said: “I have the greater amount, ten parts, with the king, and so David belongs to me more so than to you. Why have you caused me injury, and why was it not announced to me first, so that I might lead back my king?” But the men of Judah answered more firmly than the men of Israel.

43. A Juda odgovori Izraelu: "Kralj je meni rod. Zašto si se ražestio zbog toga? Jesam li jeo na kraljev raèun? Ili sam si što prigrabio?"

44.

44. Tada Izrael odgovori Judi ovako: "Ja imam deset udjela na kralja i prema tebi ja sam prvoroðenac. Zašto si me, dakle, prezreo? Nije li moja rijeè bila prva kad je trebalo natrag dovesti moga kralja?" Ali govor Judin bijaše tvrði od govora Izraelova.
