2 Samuel 16
1 After David had gone a little way past the top of the mountain, there was Ziba, Mephibosheth's servant, waiting to meet him. He had two donkeys already saddled with him carrying two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred raisin cakes, a hundred summer fruits, and a skin of wine.
A kad David prijeðe malo preko vrha, gle, Siva, momak Mefivostejev, srete ga, sa dva magarca natovarena, na kojima bješe dvjesta hljebova i sto grozdova suhih i sto gruda smokava i mijeh vina.
2 “What did you bring these for?” David asked Ziba. Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for the king's family to ride on, the bread and summer fruit are for the men to eat, and the wine is for those to drink who get worn out in the wilderness.”
I reèe car Sivi: šta æe ti to? A Siva mu reèe: magarci su za èeljad carevu, da jašu, a hljebovi i voæe da jedu momci, a vino da pije ko se umori u pustinji.
3 “Where is your master's grandson?” the king asked. Ziba answered, “He decided to stay in Jerusalem. He's saying, ‘Today the people of Israel will give me back my grandfather's kingdom.’”
A car mu reèe: a gdje je sin tvoga gospodara? Reèe Siva caru: eno ga, ostao je u Jerusalimu, jer reèe: danas æe mi dom Izrailjev vratiti carstvo oca mojega.
4 The king told Ziba, “I give you everything that belongs to Mephibosheth!” “I bow before you,” Ziba replied. “May you approve of me, Your Majesty.”
Tada reèe car Sivi: evo, tvoje je sve što je bilo Mefivostejevo. A Siva reèe: klanjam ti se, da naðem milost pred tobom, care gospodaru!
5 As King David arrived at the town of Bahurim, a man from Saul's family was just leaving. His name was Shimei, son of Gera, and he was shouting out curses as he came.
I doðe car David do Vaurima; a gle, izide odande jedan od roda doma Saulova, po imenu Simej, sin Girin, i iduæi psovaše.
6 He threw stones at David and all the king's officers, even though the king's men and all his bodyguards surrounded David.
I bacaše se kamenjem na Davida i na sluge cara Davida, kojemu i s desne i s lijeve strane bijaše sav narod i svi junaci.
7 “Get out of here, just get out, you murderer, you wicked man!” Shimei said as he cursed.
A Simej ovako govoraše psujuæi: odlazi, odlazi, krvopijo i zlikovèe!
8 “The Lord has paid you back for all of Saul's family that you killed, and for stealing Saul's throne. The Lord has given the kingdom to your son Absalom. Look how you've ended up in disaster because you're a murderer!”
Obrati Gospod na tebe sve krvi doma Saulova, na èije si se mjesto zacario, i predade Gospod carstvo u ruke Avesalomu sinu tvojemu; eto te sada u tvom zlu, jer si krvopija.
9 Abishai, son of Zeruiah, asked the king, “Why should this dead dog curse Your Majesty? Let me go and cut off his head!”
Tada reèe caru Avisaj sin Serujin: zašto da psuje ovaj mrtvi pas cara gospodara mojega? Idem da mu skinem glavu.
10 “What's that got to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah?” the king replied. “If he's cursing me because the Lord told him to, then who can question what he's doing?”
Ali car reèe: šta je vama do mene, sinovi Serujini? neka psuje; jer mu je Gospod rekao: psuj Davida. Pa ko smije kazati: zašto tako èiniš?
11 David said to Abishai and to all his officers, “Look, if my very own son is trying to kill me, why shouldn't this Benjamite want to even more! Leave him alone; let him curse me, for the Lord told him to.
Još reèe David Avisaju i svijem slugama svojim: eto, moj sin, koji je izašao od bedara mojih, traži dušu moju, a kako neæe ovaj sin Venijaminov? Ostavite ga neka psuje, jer mu je Gospod zapovjedio.
12 Perhaps the Lord will see how I'm suffering and will pay me back with good for his curses today.”
Da ako Gospod pogleda na nevolju moju, i vrati mi Gospod dobro za psovku njegovu današnju.
13 David and his men continued down the road, with Shimei keeping up with them on the hillside opposite. He went on cursing as he went along, throwing stones and dirt at David.
I tako David sa svojim ljudima iðaše svojim putem; a Simej iðaše pokraj gore prema njemu jednako psujuæi i bacajuæi se kamenjem na nj, i podižuæi prah.
14 The king and everyone with him were tired out when they arrived at the Jordan. David rested there.
I doðe car i sav narod što bijaše s njim, umorni, i odmoriše se ondje.
15 In the meantime Absalom and all the Israelites with him arrived in Jerusalem, along with Ahithophel.
A Avesalom i sav narod Izrailjev doðoše u Jerusalim, i Ahitofel s njim.
16 Hushai the Arkite, David's friend, went to see Absalom and declared, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”
A kad Husaj Arhijanin prijatelj Davidov doðe k Avesalomu, reèe Husaj Avesalomu: da živi car! da živi car!
17 “Is this how you show loyalty to your friend?” Absalom asked. “Why didn't you leave with your friend?”
A Avesalom reèe Husaju: taka li je ljubav tvoja prema prijatelju tvojemu? zašto nijesi otišao s prijateljem svojim?
18 “Certainly not!” Hushai replied. “I'm on the side of the one chosen by the Lord, by the army, and by all the people of Israel. I will remain loyal to him.
A Husaj reèe Avesalomu: ne; nego koga je izabrao Gospod i ovaj narod i svi Izrailjci, njegov æu biti i kod njega æu ostati.
19 In any case, why shouldn't I serve his son? In the same way I served your father I will serve you.”
Svrh toga, kome bih služio? eda li ne sinu njegovu? kako sam služio ocu tvojemu, tako æu i tebi.
20 Then Absalom asked Ahithophel, “Give me your advice. What shall we do?”
A Avesalom reèe Ahitofelu: svjetuj šta æemo èiniti.
21 Ahithophel told him, “Go and sleep with your father's concubines—the ones he left here to look after the palace. Then everyone in Israel will realize that you have so offended your father there's no turning back, which will encourage all your supporters.”
A Ahitofel reèe Avesalomu: lezi s inoèama oca svojega, koje je ostavio da mu èuvaju kuæu, pa kad èuje sav Izrailj kako si se omrazio s ocem svojim, osiliæe ruka svjema koji su s tobom.
22 So they put up a tent on the palace roof and Absalom went in and had sex with his father's concubines in the full view of everyone.
Tada razapeše Avesalomu šator na krovu, i Avesalom leže s inoèama oca svojega na vidiku svjemu Izrailju.
23 At that time Ahithophel's advice was like receiving messages from God himself. This was how both David and Absalom viewed Ahithophel's advice.
I svjet koji davaše Ahitofel u ono vrijeme bijaše kao da bi ko Boga upitao; taki bijaše svaki svjet Ahitofelov i u Davida i u Avesaloma.
