Kings II 19
1 And they brought Joab word, saying, Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Abessalom.
I javiše Joabu: “Eno kralj plače i tuguje za Abšalomom.”
2 And the victory was turned that day into mourning to all the people, for the people heard say that day, The king grieves after his son.
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.
3 And the people stole away that day to go into the city, as people steal away when they are ashamed as they flee in the battle.
I toga se dana vojskom kradom vrati u grad, kao što se kradom šulja vojska koja se osramotila bježeći iz boja.
4 And the king hid his face: and the king cried with a loud voice, My son Abessalom! Abessalom my son!
A kralj je pokrio svoje lice i vapio iza glasa: “Sine moj Abšalome! Abšalome, sine moj! Sine moj!”
5 And Joab went in to the king, into the house, and said, You have this day shamed the faces of all your servants that have delivered you this day, and [have saved] the lives of your sons and of your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and of your concubines,
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,
6 forasmuch as you love them that hate you, and hate them that love you; and you have this day declared, that your princes and your servants are nothing [in your sight]: for I know this day, that if Abessalom were alive, [and] all of us dead today, then it would have been right in your sight.
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.
7 And now arise, and go forth, and speak comfortably to your servants; for I have sworn by the Lord, that unless you will go forth today, there shall not a man remain with you this night: and know for yourself, this thing [will] indeed [be] evil to you beyond all the evil that has come upon you from your youth until now.
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.”
8 Then the king arose, and sat in the gate: and all the people reported, saying, Behold, the king sits in the gate. And all the people went in before the king to the gate; for Israel had fled every man to his tent.
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.
9 And all the people disputed amongst all the tribes of Israel, saying, King David delivered us from all our enemies, and he rescued us from the hand of the Philistines: and now he has fled from the land, and from his kingdom, and from Abessalom.
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.
10 And Abessalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle: and now why are you silent about bringing back the king? And the word of all Israel came to the king.
A Abšalom koga smo pomazali za kralja poginuo je u boju. Zašto se, dakle, kolebate dovesti kralja natrag?”
11 And king David sent to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Israel, saying, Why are you the last to bring back the king to his house? whereas the word of all Israel is come to the king to his house.
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?
12 You [are] my brethren, you [are] my bones and my flesh: why are you the last to bring back the king to his house?
Vi ste moja braća, vi ste od moga mesa i od mojih kosti. Zašto biste, dakle, bili posljednji koji će dovesti kralja natrag?'
13 And you shall say to Amessai, [Are] you not my bone and my flesh? and now God do so to me, and more also, if you shall not be commander of the host before me continually in the room of Joab.
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!'”
14 And he bowed the heart of all the men of Juda as that of one man; and they sent to the king, saying, Return you, and all your servants.
Tada se složiše svi ljudi Judina roda kao jedan čovjek i poručiše kralju: “Vrati se sa svim svojim ljudima!”
15 And the king returned, and came as far as Jordan. And the men of Juda came to Galgala on their way to meet the king, to cause the king to pass over Jordan.
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.
16 And Semei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Baurim, hasted and went down with the men of Juda to meet king David.
Tada je pohitio i Šimej, sin Gerin, Benjaminovac iz Bahurima, i sišao s Judejcima u susret kralju Davidu.
17 And a thousand men of Benjamin [were] with him, and Siba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons with him, and his twenty servants with him: and they went directly down to Jordan before the king,
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.
18 and they performed the service of bringing the king over; and there went over a ferry-boat to remove the household of the king, and to do that which was right in his eyes. And Semei the son of Gera fell on his face before the king, as he went over Jordan;
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;
19 and said to the king, Let not my lord now impute iniquity, and remember not all the iniquity of your servant in the day in which my lord went out from Jerusalem, so that the king should mind it.
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!
20 For your servant knows that I have sinned: and, behold, I am come today before all Israel and the house of Joseph, to go down and meet my lord the king.
Tvoj sluga uviđa da je sagriješio; zato sam, evo, došao danas prvi iz svega Josipova doma da siđem u susret svome gospodaru i kralju.”
21 And Abessai the son of Saruia answered and said, Shall not Semei therefore be put to death, because he cursed the Lord's anointed?
Ali Sarvijin sin Abišaj progovori i reče: “Zar Šimej ne zaslužuje smrt što je proklinjao pomazanika Jahvina?”
22 And David said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Saruia, that you as it were lie in wait against me this day? today no man in Israel shall be put to death, for I know not if I this day reign over Israel.
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.”
23 And the king said to Semei, You shall not die: and the king swore to him.
Tada kralj reče Šimeju: “Nećeš poginuti!” I kralj mu se zakle.
24 And Memphibosthe the son of Saul's son went down to meet the king, and had not dressed his feet, nor pared his nails, nor shaved himself, neither had he washed his garments, from the day that the king departed, until the day when he arrived in peace.
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.
25 And it came to pass when he went into Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, Why did you not go with me, Memphibosthe?
Kad je iz Jeruzalema došao u susret kralju, upita ga kralj: “Zašto nisi pošao sa mnom, Meribaale?”
26 And Memphibosthe said to him, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for your servant said to him, Saddle me the ass, and I will ride upon it, and go with the king; for your servant [is] lame.
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.
27 And he has dealt deceitfully with your servant to my lord the king: but my lord the king [is] as an angel of God, and do you that which is good in your eyes.
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.
28 For all the house of my father were but as dead men before my lord the king; yet you have set your servant amongst them that eat at your table: and what right have I any longer even to cry to the king?
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?”
29 And the king said to him, Why speak you any longer of your matters? I have said, You and Siba shall divide the land.
A kralj mu odgovori: “Čemu da još duljiš svoj govor? Određujem: ti i Siba podijelite njive!”
30 And Memphibosthe said to the king, Yes, let him take all, since my lord the king has come in peace to his house.
Meribaal reče kralju: “Neka uzme i sve, kad se moj gospodar kralj sretno vratio u svoj dom!”
31 And Berzelli the Galaadite came down from Rogellim, and crossed over Jordan with the king, that he might conduct the king over Jordan.
I Barzilaj Gileađanin dođe iz Rogelima i nastavi s kraljem da ga isprati preko Jordana.
32 And Berzelli was a very old man, eighty years old; and he had maintained the king when he lived in Manaim; for he was a very great man.
Barzilaj bijaše vrlo star, bilo mu je osamdeset godina. Pribavljao je kralju opskrbu dok je boravio u Mahanajimu jer bijaše vrlo imućan čovjek.
33 And the king said to Berzelli, You shall go over with me, and I will nourish your old age with me in Jerusalem.
Kralj reče Barzilaju: “Pođi sa mnom, ja ću te u tvojim starim danima uzdržavati kod sebe u Jeruzalemu.”
34 And Berzelli said to the king, How many [are] the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
A Barzilaj odgovori kralju: “A koliko mi još godina života ostaje da idem s kraljem u Jeruzalem?
35 I am this day eighty years old: can I then distinguish between good and evil? Can your servant taste any longer what I eat or drink? can I any longer hear the voice of singing men or singing women? and therefore shall your servant any longer be a burden to my lord the king?
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?
36 Your servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why does the king return me this recompense?
Tvoj će sluga još samo prijeći preko Jordana s kraljem, ali zašto bi mi kralj dao takvu nagradu?
37 Let, I pray you, your servant remain, and I will die in my city, by the tomb of my father and of my mother. And, behold, your servant Chamaam shall go over with my lord the king; and do you to him as it seems good in your eyes.
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!”
38 And the king said, Let Chamaam go over with me, and I will do to him what is good in my sight; and whatever you shall choose at my hand, I will do for you.
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.”
39 And all the people went over Jordan, and the king went over; and the king kissed Berzelli, and blessed him; and he returned to his place.
Kad je sav narod prešao preko Jordana, prijeđe i kralj, poljubi Barzilaja i blagoslovi ga, potom se ovaj vrati u svoje mjesto.
40 And the king went over to Galgala, and Chamaam went over with him: and all the men of Juda went over with the king, and also half the people of Israel.
Kralj nastavi put u Gilgal, a Kimham iđaše s njim. Kralja je pratio sav narod Judin i polovina naroda Izraelova.
41 And behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, Why have our brethren the men of Juda stolen you away, and caused the king and all his house to pass over Jordan, and all the men of David with him?
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?”
42 And all the men of Juda answered the men of Israel, and said, Because the king is near of kin to us: and why were you thus angry concerning this matter? have we indeed eaten of the king's food? or has he given us a gift, or has he sent us a portion?
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?”
43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Juda, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we are older than you, we have also an interest in David above you: and why have you thus insulted us, and why was not our advice taken before that of Juda, to bring back our king? And the speech of the men of Juda was sharper than the speech of the men of Israel.
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.
