2 Samuel 15
1 Sometime later, Absalom got himself a chariot with horses, and fifty men as bodyguards to run ahead of him.
A poslije toga nabavi sebi Avesalom kola i konja i pedeset ljudi, koji trèahu pred njim.
2 He used to get up early and stand by the main road that led to the city gate. When people brought a case to the king for his decision, Absalom would call out and ask them, “What town are you from?” If they replied, “Your servant is from this particular tribe of Israel,”
I ustajaše rano Avesalom, i stajaše kraj puta kod vrata; i ko god imaše parnicu i iðaše caru na sud, Avesalom ga dozivaše k sebi i govoraše: iz koga si grada? A kad bi onaj odgovorio: sluga je tvoj iz toga i toga plemena Izrailjeva,
3 Absalom would tell them, “Look, you're in the right and you've got a good case. It's such a shame there's no one from the king to hear you.”
Tada bi mu rekao Avesalom: vidiš, tvoja je stvar dobra i pravedna, ali te nema ko saslušati kod cara.
4 Then he would say, “If only there was someone to appoint me as judge for the country. Then everyone could come to me with their case or complaint, and I would give them justice.”
Još govoraše Avesalom: kad bih ja bio postavljen da sudim u zemlji! da svaki k meni dolazi koji ima posla na sudu, ja bih mu dao pravicu.
5 When anyone came to bow down before him, Absalom would stop them by reaching out his hand, taking hold of him, and kissing him.
I kad bi mu ko pristupio da mu se pokloni, on bi pružio ruku svoju, te bi ga uhvatio i poljubio.
6 This is how Absalom treated all the Israelites who came to the king for his judgment. So he captured the loyalty of the men of Israel.
Tako èinjaše Avesalom sa svakim Izrailjcem, koji dolažaše na sud k caru; i Avesalom primamljivaše srca ljudi Izrailjaca.
7 Four years later Absalom asked the king, “Please let me go to Hebron to fulfill a promise I made to the Lord.
A kad proðe èetrdeset godina, reèe Avesalom caru: da otidem u Hevron da izvršim zavjet koji sam zavjetovao Gospodu.
8 For I, your servant, made this promise while living at Geshur in Aram, saying: ‘If the Lord does bring me back to Jerusalem, I will worship the Lord in Hebron.’”
Jer kad sjeðah u Gesuru u Siriji, uèini zavjet sluga tvoj rekavši: ako me Gospod odvede natrag u Jerusalim, poslužiæu Gospodu.
9 “Go in peace,” said the king. So Absalom went to Hebron.
A car mu reèe: idi s mirom. I on se podiže i otide u Hevron.
10 Then Absalom sent his accomplices among all the tribes of Israel, saying, “When you hear the sound of the ram's horn, you shout, ‘Absalom is king at Hebron!’”
I razasla Avesalom po svijem plemenima Izrailjevim uhode poruèivši: kad èujete trube da zatrube, recite: zacari se Avesalom u Hevronu.
11 Two hundred men from Jerusalem went with Absalom. They had been invited and went in all innocence, because they didn't know anything about what was planned.
A s Avesalomom otide dvjesta ljudi iz Jerusalima pozvanijeh; ali otidoše u prostoti svojoj ne znajuæi ništa.
12 While Absalom was offering sacrifices, he sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's advisor, asking him to come from Giloh, the town where he lived. The conspiracy grew stronger, and Absalom's followers went on increasing.
A Avesalom posla i po Ahitofela Gilonjanina, savjetnika Davidova, da doðe iz grada svojega Gilona, kad prinošaše žrtve. I buna posta jaka, i narod se sve više stjecaše k Avesalomu.
13 A messenger came to tell David, “Absalom has the loyalty of the men of Israel.”
Tada doðe glasnik k Davidu i reèe: srce Izrailju prista za Avesalomom.
14 David said to all the officials with him in Jerusalem, “Quick! Let's go! Otherwise we won't be able to get away from Absalom! We must leave immediately, or he will soon catch up with us, attack us, and kill the people here in the city.”
A David reèe svijem slugama svojim koje bijahu s njim u Jerusalimu: ustajte, da bježimo; inaèe neæemo uteæi od Avesaloma; brže pohitajte, da ne pohita on i ne stigne nas i obori na nas zlo, i grada ne okrene pod maè.
15 “Whatever Your Majesty decides, we'll do what you want,” the king's servants replied.
A sluge careve rekoše caru: što je god volja caru gospodaru našemu, evo sluga tvojih.
16 The king set off with his whole household following him, but he left behind ten concubines to look after the palace.
I otide car pješice i sav dom njegov; samo deset žena inoèa ostavi car da mu èuvaju kuæu.
17 The king left with all his soldiers following him. He stopped at the last house,
I kad otide car i sav narod pješice, ustaviše se na jednom mjestu podaleko.
18 and all his men marched past him, including all the Cherethites and Pelethites, and six hundred Gittites who had come with him from Gath.
A sve sluge njegove iðahu uza nj, i svi Hereteji i svi Feleteji; i svi Geteji, šest stotina ljudi, koji bijahu došli pješke iz Gata, iðahu pred carem.
19 The king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why are you coming with us too? Go back and stay with the new king, because you are a foreigner and an exile a long way from home.
I reèe car Itaju Getejinu: što i ti ideš s nama? Vrati se i ostani kod cara; jer si stranac i opet æeš otiæi u svoje mjesto.
20 You only just got here, so why should I make you wander around with us now when I don't even know where I am going? Go back and take your men with you. May the Lord show you kindness and faithfulness.”
Juèe si došao, pa zar danas da te kreæem da se potucaš s nama? Ja æu iæi kuda mogu, a ti se vrati i odvedi natrag braæu svoju. Neka milost i vjera bude s tobom.
21 But Ittai answered the king, “As the Lord lives, and as Your Majesty lives, wherever Your Majesty may be, whether dead or alive, that's where your servant will be!”
A Itaj odgovori caru i reèe: tako živ da je Gospod i tako da je živ car gospodar moj, gdje bude car gospodar moj, bilo na smrt ili na život, ondje æe biti i sluga tvoj.
22 “Go ahead, march on!” David replied. Ittai the Gittite marched past with all his men and all the families that were with him.
Tada reèe David Itaju: a ti hodi. I tako poðe Itaj Getejin sa svijem ljudima svojim i svom djecom što bijahu s njim.
23 All the people in the countryside were crying aloud as everyone with David passed by. They crossed the Kidron Valley with the king on the way toward the wilderness.
I sva zemlja plakaše iza glasa i sav narod prelažaše. I tako car prijeðe preko potoka Kedrona, i sav narod prijeðe iduæi k pustinji.
24 Zadok was there too, and all the Levites were with him, carrying the Ark of God's Agreement. They set down the Ark of God, and Abiathar offered sacrifices until everyone had left the city.
A gle i Sadok bijaše ondje i svi Leviti s njim noseæi kovèeg zavjeta Božijega; i spustiše kovèeg Božji, a poðe i Avijatar, dokle sav narod izide iz grada.
25 Then the king told Zadok, “Take the Ark of God back to the city. If I find the Lord approves of me, he will bring me back and let me see both the Ark and his Tent again.
I reèe car Sadoku: nosi kovèeg Božji natrag u grad; ako naðem milost pred Gospodom, on æe me dovesti natrag, i daæe mi da opet vidim njega i dom njegov.
26 But if he says, ‘I'm not happy with you,’ then here I stand. Let him do to me whatever he thinks best.”
Ako li ovako reèe: nijesi mi mio; evo me, neka uèini sa mnom što mu bude volja.
27 The king also told Zadok the priest, “You understand the situation, don't you? Go back to the city safely with your son Ahimaaz, and also Jonathan, son of Abiathar. You and Abiathar take both of your sons back with you.
Još reèe car Sadoku svešteniku: nijesi li ti vidjelac? vrati se u grad s mirom, i Ahimas sin tvoj i Jonatan sin Avijatarov, dva sina vaša s vama.
28 I'll wait at the fords of the wilderness until I hear from you.”
Vidite, ja æu se zabaviti u polju u pustinji dokle ne doðe od vas glasnik da mi javi.
29 Zadok and Abiathar took the Ark of God back to Jerusalem and remained there.
I tako Sadok i Avijatar odnesoše kovèeg Božji natrag u Jerusalim, i ostaše ondje.
30 David went on his way up the Mount of Olives, weeping as he did so. He had his head covered, and walked barefoot. All the people with him covered their heads, weeping as they went along.
A David iðaše uz goru Maslinsku, i iduæi plakaše, i pokrivene glave i bos iðaše; tako i sav narod, koji bješe s njim, svaki pokrivene glave iðaše, i iduæi plakaše.
31 David was told, “Ahithophel is one of the people conspiring with Absalom.” So David prayed, “Lord, please make Ahithophel's advice worthless.”
Tada javiše Davidu i rekoše mu: Ahitofel je meðu onima koji se pobuniše s Avesalomom. A David reèe: razbij namjeru Ahitofelovu, Gospode!
32 When David arrived at the top of the Mount of Olives, where people worshiped God, there to meet him was Hushai the Archite, with his robe torn and with dust on his head.
I kad David doðe navrh gore, gdje se šæaše pokloniti Bogu, gle, srete ga Husaj Arhijanin razdrte haljine i glave posute prahom.
33 David told him, “If you come with me, you'll only be a burden to me,
I reèe mu David: ako poðeš sa mnom biæeš mi na tegotu.
34 but if you go back to the city and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, Your Majesty! Formerly I worked for your father, but now I'll work for you,’ then you can block Ahithophel's advice for me.
Ali da se vratiš u grad i reèeš Avesalomu: biæu tvoj sluga, care! bio sam dugo sluga tvome ocu, a sada æu tako biti tebi sluga; razbiæeš mi namjeru Ahitofelovu.
35 Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, will be there too. Tell them everything you hear in the king's palace.
I sveštenici Sadok i Avijatar neæe li biti s tobom? Što god èuješ iz kuæe careve, dokaži Sadoku i Avijataru sveštenicima.
36 Their two sons, Ahimaaz and Jonathan, are there with them. Send them to me so they can tell me everything you hear.”
Eto, ondje su s njima dva sina njihova, Ahimas Sadokov i Jonatan Avijatarov, po njima mi javljajte što god doèujete.
37 David's friend Hushai arrived back in Jerusalem at the same time Absalom was entering the city.
I otide u grad Husaj prijatelj Davidov, i Avesalom doðe u Jerusalim.
