2 Samuelova 19

1 I javiše Joabu: “Eno kralj plače i tuguje za Abšalomom.”

And it was tolde Ioab, Behold, the King weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.

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

Therefore the victorie of that day was turned into mourning to all the people: for the people heard say that day, The King soroweth for his sonne.

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

And the people went that day into the citie secretly, as people confounded hide them selues when they flee in battell.

4 A kralj je pokrio svoje lice i vapio iza glasa: “Sine moj Abšalome! Abšalome, sine moj! Sine moj!”

So the King hid his face, and the King cryed with a loude voyce, My sonne Absalom, Absalom my sonne, my sonne.

5 Tada Joab dođe kralju u kuću i reče mu: “Postiđuješ danas lice svih svojih slugu koji su danas spasili život tebi, život tvojim sinovima i tvojim kćerima, život tvojim ženama i život inočama tvojim,

Then Ioab came into the house to the King, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy seruants, which this day haue saued thy life and the liues of thy sones, and of thy daughters, and the liues of thy wiues, and the liues of thy concubines,

6 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.

In that thou louest thine enemies, and hatest thy friendes: for thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither thy princes nor seruants: therefore this day I perceiue, that if Absalom had liued, and we all had dyed this day, that then it would haue pleased thee well.

7 Zato sada ustani, iziđi i prijazno progovori svojim vojnicima; jer, kunem ti se Jahvom, ako ne iziđeš, nijedan čovjek neće ostati noćas s tobom, i to će ti biti veća nesreća od svih koje su te snašle od tvoje mladosti pa do sada.”

Nowe therefore vp, come out, and speake comfortably vnto thy seruants: for I sweare by the Lord, except thou come out, there will not tarie one man with thee this night: and that wil be worse vnto thee, then all the euill that fell on thee from thy youth hitherto.

8 Kralj ustade i sjede na vrata. Javiše to svemu narodu govoreći: “Eno kralj sjedi na vratima.” I sav narod dođe pred kralja. A Izraelci bijahu pobjegli svaki u svoj šator.

Then the King arose, and sate in the gate: and they tolde vnto all the people, saying, Beholde, the King doeth sit in the gate: and all the people came before the King: for Israel had fled euery man to his tent.

9 I sav se narod po svim Izraelovim plemenima prepirao govoreći: “Kralj nas je izbavio iz ruku naših neprijatelja, on nas je izbavio iz ruku filistejskih, a sada je morao pobjeći iz zemlje ispred Abšaloma.

Then all the people were at strife thorowout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The King saued vs out of the hand of our enemies, and he deliuered vs out of the hande of the Philistims, and nowe he is fled out of the lande for Absalom.

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

And Absalom, whome we anoynted ouer vs, is dead in battel: therefore why are ye so slow to bring the King againe?

11 Te riječi svega Izraela dopru do kralja u njegovu kuću. Zato kralj David poruči svećenicima Sadoku i Ebjataru: “Recite starješinama judejskim ovako: 'Zašto da vi budete posljednji koji će kralja dovesti u njegovu kuću?

But King Dauid sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the Priestes, saying, Speake vnto the Elders of Iudah, and say, Why are ye behind to bring the King againe to his house, (for the saying of al Israel is come vnto the king, euen to his house)

12 Vi ste moja braća, vi ste od moga mesa i od mojih kosti. Zašto biste, dakle, bili posljednji koji će dovesti kralja natrag?'

Ye are my brethren: my bones and my flesh are ye: wherefore then are ye the last that bring the King againe?

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

Also say ye to Amasa, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me and more also, if thou be not captaine of the hoste to me for euer in the roume of Ioab.

14 Tada se složiše svi ljudi Judina roda kao jedan čovjek i poručiše kralju: “Vrati se sa svim svojim ljudima!”

So he bowed the heartes of all the men of Iudah, as of one man: therefore they sent to the King, saying, Returne thou with all thy seruants.

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

So the King returned, and came to Iorden. And Iudah came to Gilgal, for to goe to meete the King, and to conduct him ouer Iorde.

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

And Shimei the sonne of Gera, ye sonne of Iemini, which was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Iudah to meete king Dauid,

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

And a thousande men of Beniamin with him, and Ziba the seruant of the house of Saul, and his fifteene sonnes and twentie seruants with him: and they went ouer Iorden before ye king.

18 Dovezli su splav da prevezu kraljevu čeljad i da učine sve što bi mu bilo drago. A Gerin sin Šimej baci se pred noge kralju kad je kralj htio prijeći preko Jordana;

And there went ouer a boate to carie ouer the Kings houshold, and to do him pleasure. Then Shimei the sonne of Gera fell before the King, when he was come ouer Iorden,

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

And saide vnto the King, Let not my lorde impute wickednesse vnto me, nor remember ye thing that thy seruant did wickedly when my lorde the King departed out of Ierusalem, that the King should take it to his heart.

20 Tvoj sluga uviđa da je sagriješio; zato sam, evo, došao danas prvi iz svega Josipova doma da siđem u susret svome gospodaru i kralju.”

For thy seruant doeth knowe, that I haue done amisse: therefore beholde, I am the first this day of al the house of Ioseph, that am come to goe downe to meete my lord the King.

21 Ali Sarvijin sin Abišaj progovori i reče: “Zar Šimej ne zaslužuje smrt što je proklinjao pomazanika Jahvina?”

But Abishai the sonne of Zeruiah answered, and said, Shal not Shimei die for this, because he cursed the Lordes anoynted?

22 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.”

And Dauid saide, What haue I to do with you, ye sonnes of Zeruiah, that this day ye should be aduersaries vnto me? shall there any man die this day in Israel? for doe not I know that I am this day King ouer Israel?

23 Tada kralj reče Šimeju: “Nećeš poginuti!” I kralj mu se zakle.

Therefore the King saide vnto Shimei, Thou shalt not die, and the king sware vnto him.

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

And Mephibosheth the sonne of Saul came downe to meete the king, and had neither washed his feete, nor dressed his beard, nor washed his clothes from the time the king departed, vntill he returned in peace.

25 Kad je iz Jeruzalema došao u susret kralju, upita ga kralj: “Zašto nisi pošao sa mnom, Meribaale?”

And when he was come to Ierusalem, and met the king, the king said vnto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth?

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

And he answered, My lorde the king, my seruant deceiued me: for thy seruant said, I would haue mine asse sadled to ride thereon, for to goe with the king, because thy seruant is lame.

27 On je oklevetao tvoga slugu pred mojim gospodarom i kraljem. Ali moj je gospodar i kralj kao Božji anđeo: zato čini što je dobro u tvojim očima.

And he hath accused thy seruant vnto my lorde the king: but my lorde the king is as an Angel of God: doe therefore thy pleasure.

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

For all my fathers house were but dead men before my lord the king, yet diddest thou set thy seruant among them that did eate at thine owne table: what right therefore haue I yet to crye any more vnto the king?

29 A kralj mu odgovori: “Čemu da još duljiš svoj govor? Određujem: ti i Siba podijelite njive!”

And the king said vnto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I haue said, Thou, and Ziba deuide the landes.

30 Meribaal reče kralju: “Neka uzme i sve, kad se moj gospodar kralj sretno vratio u svoj dom!”

And Mephibosheth saide vnto the king, Yea, let him take all, seeing my lorde the king is come home in peace.

31 I Barzilaj Gileađanin dođe iz Rogelima i nastavi s kraljem da ga isprati preko Jordana.

Then Barzillai the Gileadite came downe from Rogelim, and went ouer Iorden with the king, to conduct him ouer Iorden.

32 Barzilaj bijaše vrlo star, bilo mu je osamdeset godina. Pribavljao je kralju opskrbu dok je boravio u Mahanajimu jer bijaše vrlo imućan čovjek.

Nowe Barzillai was a very aged man, euen fourescore yeere olde, and he had prouided the king of sustenance, while he lay at Mahanaim: for he was a man of very great substance.

33 Kralj reče Barzilaju: “Pođi sa mnom, ja ću te u tvojim starim danima uzdržavati kod sebe u Jeruzalemu.”

And the king said vnto Barzillai, Come ouer with me, and I will feede thee with me in Ierusalem.

34 A Barzilaj odgovori kralju: “A koliko mi još godina života ostaje da idem s kraljem u Jeruzalem?

And Barzillai said vnto the king, Howe long haue I to liue, that I should goe vp with the king to Ierusalem?

35 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 pjevača i pjevačica? Zašto bi tvoj sluga bio još na teret mome gospodaru kralju?

I am this day fourescore yeere olde: and can I discerne betweene good or euill? Hath thy seruant any taste in that I eat or in that I drinke? Can I heare any more the voyce of singing men and women? wherefore then should thy seruant be anymore a burthen vnto my lord the king?

36 Tvoj će sluga još samo prijeći preko Jordana s kraljem, ali zašto bi mi kralj dao takvu nagradu?

Thy seruant will goe a litle way ouer Iorden with the King, and why wil the king recompence it me with such a rewarde?

37 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 učini što je dobro u tvojim očima!”

I pray thee, let thy seruant turne backe againe, that I may die in mine owne citie, and be buryed in the graue of my father and of my mother: but beholde thy seruant Chimham, let him goe with my lorde the king, and doe to him what shall please thee.

38 Kralj odgovori: “Neka onda Kimham ide sa mnom dalje, a ja ću mu učiniti što bude tebi drago i što god me zamoliš sve ću mu učiniti za tebe.”

And the king answered, Chimham shall go with me, and I will do to him that thou shalt be content with: and whatsoeuer thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.

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

So all the people went ouer Iorden: and the King passed ouer: and the King kissed Barzillai, and blessed him, and hee returned vnto his owne place.

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

Then the King went to Gilgal, and Chimham went with him, and all the people of Iudah conducted the King, and also halfe ye people of Israel.

41 Uto svi Izraelci dođu pred kralja i upitaju ga: “Zašto te naša braća Judejci ukradoše i zašto prevedoše preko Jordana našega kralja i njegov dom i sve Davidove ljude s njim?”

And behold, all the men of Israel came to the King, and sayd vnto the King, Why haue our brethren the men of Iudah stollen thee away, and haue brought the King and his houshold, and all Dauids men with him ouer Iorden?

42 A Juda odgovori Izraelu: “Kralj je meni rod. Zašto si se ražestio zbog toga? Jesam li jeo na kraljev račun? Ili sam si što prigrabio?”

And all the men of Iudah answered the men of Israel, Because the King is neere of kin to vs: and wherefore now be ye angry for this matter? haue we eaten of the Kings cost, or haue wee taken any bribes?

43 Tada Izrael odgovori Judi ovako: “Ja imam deset udjela na kralja i prema tebi ja sam prvorođenac. Zašto si me, dakle, prezreo? Nije li moja riječ bila prva kad je trebalo natrag dovesti moga kralja?” Ali govor Judin bijaše tvrđi od govora Izraelova.

And the men of Israel answered the men of Iudah, and saide, Wee haue ten partes in the King, and haue also more right to Dauid then ye: Why then did ye despise vs, that our aduise should not bee first had in restoring our King? And the wordes of the men of Iudah were fiercer then the wordes of the men of Israel.
