2 Samuel 16
1 And when David had passed a little beyond the top of the mountain, Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth, appeared to meet him, with two donkeys, which were burdened with two hundred loaves, and one hundred bunches of dried grapes, and one hundred masses of dried figs, and a skin of wine.
Ko je David ravno prešel vrh hriba, glej, ga je srečal Mefibóšetov služabnik Cibá, s parom osedlanih oslov in na njih dvesto hlebov kruha, sto grozdov rozin, sto poletnih sadov in vinski meh.
2 And the king said to Ziba, “What do you intend to do with these things?” And Ziba responded: “The donkeys are for the household of the king, so that they may sit. And the loaves and dried figs are for your servants to eat. But the wine is for anyone to drink who may be faint in the desert.”
Kralj je rekel Cibáju: »Kaj nameravaš s tem?« Cibá je rekel: »Ti osli so za kraljevo družino, da jaha na njih. Kruh in poletno sadje za mladeniče, da jedo, in vino, da tisti, ki so v divjini oslabeli, lahko pijejo.«
3 And the king said, “Where is the son of your lord?” And Ziba answered the king: “He remained in Jerusalem, saying, ‘Today, the house of Israel will restore the kingdom of my father to me.’”
Kralj je rekel: »In kje je sin tvojega gospodarja?« Cibá je rekel kralju: »Glej, on ostaja v Jeruzalemu, kajti rekel je: ›Danes mi bo Izraelova hiša obnovila kraljestvo mojega očeta.‹«
4 And the king said to Ziba, “All the things which were for Mephibosheth are now yours.” And Ziba said, “I beg you that I may find grace before you, my lord the king.”
Potem je kralj rekel Cibáju: »Glej, tvoje je vse, kar pripada Mefibóšetu.« Cibá je rekel: »Ponižno te rotim, da lahko najdem milost v tvojem pogledu, moj gospod, oh kralj.«
5 Then king David went as far as Bahurim. And behold, a man from the kindred of the house of Saul, named Shimei, the son of Gera, went out from there. And going out, he continued on, and he was cursing,
Ko je kralj David prišel v Bahurím, glej, je od tam prišel mož iz družine Savlove hiše, katerega ime je bilo Šimí, Gerájev sin. Prišel je naprej in nenehno preklinjal, medtem ko je prihajal.
6 and throwing stones against David and against all the servants of king David. And all the people and all the warriors were traveling to the right and to the left sides of the king.
V Davida in v vse služabnike kralja Davida je lučal kamne in vse ljudstvo in vsi mogočni možje so bili na njegovi desni roki in na njegovi levi.
7 And so, as he was cursing the king, Shimei said: “Go away, go away, you man of blood, and you man of Belial!
Tako je govoril Šimí, ko je preklinjal: »Pridi ven, pridi ven, ti, krvoločen človek in ti, Beliálov človek.
8 The Lord has repaid you for all the blood of the house of Saul. For you have usurped the kingdom in place of him. And so, the Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of Absalom, your son. And behold, your evils press close upon you, because you are a man of blood.”
Gospod je povrnil nad teboj vso kri Savlove hiše, namesto katerega si zakraljeval in Gospod je kraljestvo izročil v roko tvojega sina Absaloma. Glej, ujet si v svoji vragoliji, ker si krvoločen človek.«
9 Then Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said to the king: “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go and cut off his head.”
Potem je Cerújin sin Abišáj rekel kralju: »Zakaj bi ta mrtvi pes preklinjal mojega gospoda kralja? Naj grem preko, prosim te in snamem njegovo glavo.«
10 And the king said: “What is it to me and to all of you, O sons of Zeruiah? Permit him, so that he may curse. For the Lord has commanded him to curse David. And who is the one who would dare to say, ‘Why has he done so?’”
Kralj pa je rekel: »Kaj imam z vama, Cerújina sinova? Tako naj preklinja, ker mu je Gospod rekel: ›Preklinjaj Davida.‹ Kdo bo potem rekel: ›Čemu si tako storil?‹«
11 And the king said to Abishai and to all his servants: “Behold, my son, who went forth from my loins, is seeking my life. How much more does a son of Benjamin do so now? Permit him, so that he may curse, in accord with the command of the Lord.
David je rekel Abišáju in vsem svojim služabnikom: »Glejte, moj sin, ki je prišel iz moje notranjosti, mi streže po življenju. Kako mnogo bolj lahko sedaj to stori ta Benjaminovec? Pustite ga na miru in naj preklinja, kajti Gospod mu je zaukazal.
12 Perhaps the Lord may look with favor upon my affliction, and the Lord may repay me good, in place of the cursing of this day.”
Morda bo Gospod pogledal na mojo stisko in da mi bo Gospod poplačal dobro za njegovo preklinjanje ta dan.«
13 And so, David continued walking along the way, and his associates with him. But Shimei was advancing along the ridge of the mountain on the side opposite him, cursing and throwing stones at him, and scattering dirt.
Medtem ko so David in njegovi možje šli po poti, je Šimí hodil vzdolž, na drugi strani hriba, nasproti njemu in preklinjal, medtem ko je hodil in lučal kamne vanj in metal prah.
14 And the king and the entire people with him, being weary, went and refreshed themselves there.
Kralj in vse ljudstvo, ki so bili z njim, so prišli izmučeni in se tam osvežili.
15 But Absalom and all his people entered into Jerusalem. Moreover, Ahithophel was with him.
Absalom in vse ljudstvo Izraelovih mož pa so prišli v Jeruzalem in Ahitófel z njim.
16 And when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, had gone to Absalom, he said to him: “May you be well, O king! May you be well, O king!”
Pripetilo se je, ko je Davidov prijatelj Arkéjec Hušáj prišel k Absalomu, da je Hušáj rekel Absalomu: »Živel kralj, živel kralj.«
17 And Absalom said to him: “Is this your kindness to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?”
Absalom je rekel Hušáju: » Ali je to tvoja prijaznost do tvojega prijatelja? Zakaj nisi šel s svojim prijateljem?«
18 And Hushai responded to Absalom: “By no means! For I will be his, whom the Lord has chosen. And I, and all this people, and all of Israel, will remain with him.
Hušáj je rekel Absalomu: »Ne, temveč katerega Gospod in to ljudstvo in vsi Izraelovi možje izberejo, njegov bom in z njim bom ostal.
19 But then too, I declare this: whom should I serve? Is it not the son of the king? Just as I have been subject to your father, so will I be subject to you also.”
In ponovno, komu naj bi služil? Ali naj ne bi služil v prisotnosti njegovega sina? Kakor sem služil v prisotnosti tvojega očeta, tako bom v tvoji prisotnosti.«
20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Present a counsel as to what we ought to do.”
Potem je Absalom rekel Ahitófelu: »Dajte nasvet med vami, kaj naj storimo.«
21 And Ahithophel said to Absalom: “Enter to the concubines of your father, whom he left behind in order to care for the house. Thus, when all of Israel will hear that you disgraced your father, their hands may be strengthened with you.”
Ahitófel je rekel Absalomu: »Pojdi noter v priležnice svojega očeta, ki jih je pustil, da varujejo hišo in ves Izrael bo slišal, da si preziran od svojega očeta. Potem bodo močne roke vseh, ki so s teboj.«
22 Therefore, they spread a tent for Absalom on the rooftop. And he entered to the concubines of his father in the sight of all Israel.
Tako so Absalomu razprostrli šotor na vrhu hiše in Absalom je šel v priležnice svojega očeta pred očmi vsega Izraela.
23 Now the counsel of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was treated as if one were consulting God. So was every counsel of Ahithophel, both when he was with David, and when he was with Absalom.
Nasvet Ahitófela, ki je v tistih dneh svetoval, je bil, kakor če bi človek poizvedoval pri Božjem oraklju, tako so bili vsi Ahitófelovi nasveti tako z Davidom kakor z Absalomom.
