< 1 Kings 2 >

1 Now the days of David came near that he should die; and he commanded Solomon his son, saying,
Torej Davidovi dnevi so se približali, da naj bi umrl in svojemu sinu Salomonu je naročil, rekoč:
2 “I am going the way of all the earth. You be strong therefore, and show yourself a man;
»Jaz grem pot vse zemlje. Bodi torej močan in se izkaži moža
3 and keep the instruction of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, his commandments, his ordinances, and his testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn yourself.
in ohrani naročilo Gospoda, svojega Boga, da hodiš po njegovih poteh, da ohranjaš njegove zakone, njegove zapovedi, njegove sodbe in njegova pričevanja, kakor je zapisano v Mojzesovi postavi, da boš lahko uspeval v vsem, kar delaš in kamorkoli se obrneš,
4 Then Yahweh may establish his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, ‘If your children are careful of their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail you,’ he said, ‘a man on the throne of Israel.’
da bo Gospod lahko nadaljeval svojo besedo, ki jo je govoril glede mene, rekoč: ›Če tvoji otroci pazijo na svojo pot, da hodijo pred menoj v resnici, z vsem svojim srcem in z vso svojo dušo, tebi ne bo odrezan, ‹ je rekel, ›noben mož na Izraelovem prestolu.‹
5 “Moreover you know also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, even what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war on his sash that was around his waist and in his sandals that were on his feet.
Poleg tega tudi veš, kaj mi je storil Cerújin sin Joáb in kaj je storil dvema poveljnikoma Izraelove vojske, Nerovemu sinu Abnêrju in Jeterjevemu sinu Amasáju, ki ju je ubil in vojno kri prelil v miru in vojno kri položil na svoj pas, ki je bil okrog njegovih ledij in na njegove čevlje, ki so bili na njegovih stopalih.
6 Do therefore according to your wisdom, and don’t let his gray head go down to Sheol in peace. (Sheol h7585)
Stori torej glede na svojo modrost in ne dopusti, da bi njegova osivela glava šla v miru dol v podzemlje. (Sheol h7585)
7 But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table; for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom your brother.
Toda izkazuj prijaznost sinovom Gileádca Barzilája in naj bodo izmed tistih, ki jedo pri tvoji mizi, kajti tako so prišli k meni, ko sem pobegnil zaradi tvojega brata Absaloma.
8 “Behold, there is with you Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by Yahweh, saying, ‘I will not put you to death with the sword.’
Glej, s seboj imaš Šimíja, Gerájevega sina, Benjaminovca iz Bahuríma, ki me je preklinjal z bolečim prekletstvom na dan, ko sem odšel v Mahanájim, toda prišel je dol, da me sreča pri Jordanu in prisegel sem mu pri Gospodu, rekoč: ›Ne bom te usmrtil z mečem.‹
9 Now therefore don’t hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man; and you will know what you ought to do to him, and you shall bring his gray head down to Sheol with blood.” (Sheol h7585)
Zdaj ga torej ne imej brez krivde, kajti moder človek si in veš, kaj mu moraš storiti, temveč njegovo osivelo glavo s krvjo privedi dol k podzemlju.« (Sheol h7585)
10 David slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city.
Tako je David zaspal s svojimi očeti in bil pokopan v Davidovem mestu.
11 The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
Dni, ko je David kraljeval nad Izraelom, je bilo štirideset let. Sedem let je kraljeval v Hebrónu, triintrideset let pa je kraljeval v Jeruzalemu.
12 Solomon sat on David his father’s throne; and his kingdom was firmly established.
Potem se je Salomon usedel na prestol svojega očeta Davida in njegovo kraljestvo je bilo silno utrjeno.
13 Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. She said, “Do you come peaceably?” He said, “Peaceably.
Hagítin sin Adoníja je prišel k Salomonovi materi Batšébi. Rekla je: »Prihajaš miroljubno?« Rekel je: »Miroljubno.«
14 He said moreover, I have something to tell you.” She said, “Say on.”
Poleg tega je rekel: »Nekaj ti imam povedati.« Rekla je: »Povej.«
15 He said, “You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign. However, the kingdom is turned around, and has become my brother’s; for it was his from Yahweh.
Rekel je: »Veš, da je bilo kraljestvo moje in da je ves Izrael svoje obraze naravnal name, da naj bi jaz kraljeval, vendar se je kraljestvo zaobrnilo in postalo bratovo, kajti njegovo je bilo od Gospoda.
16 Now I ask one petition of you. Don’t deny me.” She said to him, “Say on.”
Sedaj od tebe prosim eno prošnjo, ne zavrni me.« Rekla mu je: »Povej.«
17 He said, “Please speak to Solomon the king (for he will not tell you ‘no’), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite as wife.”
Rekel je: »Spregovori, prosim te, kralju Salomonu (kajti ne bo ti rekel ne), da mi da za ženo Šunémko Abišágo.«
18 Bathsheba said, “All right. I will speak for you to the king.”
Batšéba je rekla: »Dobro, zate bom govorila kralju.«
19 Bathsheba therefore went to King Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. The king rose up to meet her and bowed himself to her, and sat down on his throne and caused a throne to be set for the king’s mother; and she sat on his right hand.
Batšéba je torej šla h kralju Salomonu, da mu govori za Adoníja. Kralj je vstal, da jo sreča in se ji priklonil, se usedel na svoj prestol in dal postaviti sedež za kraljevo mater in usedla se je na njegovo desnico.
20 Then she said, “I ask one small petition of you; don’t deny me.” The king said to her, “Ask on, my mother, for I will not deny you.”
Potem je rekla: »Od tebe želim eno majhno prošnjo, prosim te, ne reci mi ne.« Kralj ji je rekel: »Vprašaj, moja mati, kajti jaz ti ne bom rekel ne.«
21 She said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as wife.”
Rekla je: »Naj bo Šunémka Abišága dana tvojemu bratu Adoníju za ženo.«
22 King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also, for he is my elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.”
Kralj Salomon je odgovoril svoji materi in rekel: »Zakaj prosiš za Adoníja Šunémko Abišágo? Prosi zanj tudi kraljestvo, kajti on je moj starejši brat; celo zanj in za duhovnika Abjatárja in za Cerújinega sina Joába.«
23 Then King Solomon swore by Yahweh, saying, “God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life.
Potem je kralj Salomon prisegel pri Gospodu, rekoč: »Bog naj mi tako stori in še več, če ni Adoníja te besede spregovoril zoper svoje lastno življenje.
24 Now therefore as Yahweh lives, who has established me and set me on my father David’s throne, and who has made me a house as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death today.”
Zdaj torej kakor živi Gospod, ki me je utrdil in me postavil na prestol mojega očeta Davida in ki mi je naredil hišo, kakor je obljubil, bo ta dan Adoníja usmrčen.«
25 King Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell on him, so that he died.
Kralj Salomon je poslal po roko Jojadájevega sina Benajá in ta je padel nanj, da je umrl.
26 To Abiathar the priest the king said, “Go to Anathoth, to your own fields, for you are worthy of death. But I will not at this time put you to death, because you bore the Lord Yahweh’s ark before David my father, and because you were afflicted in all in which my father was afflicted.”
Duhovniku Abjatárju pa je kralj rekel: »Pojdi v Anatót, k svojim lastnim poljem, kajti vreden si smrti, toda tokrat te ne bom usmrtil, ker pred mojim očetom Davidom nosiš skrinjo Gospoda Boga in ker si bil prizadet v vsem, s čimer je bil prizadet moj oče.«
27 So Solomon thrust Abiathar out from being priest to Yahweh, that he might fulfill Yahweh’s word which he spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
Tako je Salomon vrgel ven Abjatárja, da ne bi bil duhovnik Gospodu, da je lahko izpolnil Gospodovo besedo, ki jo je govoril glede Élijeve hiše v Šilu.
28 This news came to Joab; for Joab had followed Adonijah, although he didn’t follow Absalom. Joab fled to Yahweh’s Tent, and held onto the horns of the altar.
Potem so do Joába prišle novice, kajti Joáb se je obrnil za Adoníjem, čeprav se ni obrnil za Absalomom. Joáb je pobegnil h Gospodovemu šotorskemu svetišču in se oprijel oltarnih rogov.
29 King Solomon was told, “Joab has fled to Yahweh’s Tent; and behold, he is by the altar.” Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, fall on him.”
To je bilo povedano kralju Salomonu, da je Joáb pobegnil v Gospodovo šotorsko svetišče in glej, pri oltarju je. Potem je Salomon poslal Jojadájevega sina Benajá, rekoč: »Pojdi, padi nanj.«
30 Benaiah came to Yahweh’s Tent, and said to him, “The king says, ‘Come out!’” He said, “No; but I will die here.” Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, “This is what Joab said, and this is how he answered me.”
Benajá je prišel v Gospodovo šotorsko svetišče ter mu rekel: »Tako govori kralj: ›Pridi naprej.‹« Rekel je: »Ne, temveč bom tukaj umrl.« Benajá je kralju ponovno prinesel besedo, rekoč: »Tako je rekel Joáb in tako mi je odgovoril.«
31 The king said to him, “Do as he has said, and fall on him, and bury him, that you may take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father’s house.
Kralj mu je rekel: »Stôri, kakor je rekel, padi nanj in ga pokoplji, da boš lahko od mene in od hiše mojega očeta odvzel nedolžno kri, ki jo je prelil Joáb.
32 Yahweh will return his blood on his own head, because he fell on two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword, and my father David didn’t know it: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.
Gospod bo njegovo kri povrnil na njegovo lastno glavo, ker je padel na dva moža, pravičnejša in boljša kakor on in ju umoril z mečem, moj oče David pa ni vedel o tem, namreč Nerovega sina Abnêrja, poveljnika Izraelove vojske in Jeterjevega sina Amasája, poveljnika Judove vojske.
33 So their blood will return on the head of Joab and on the head of his offspring forever. But for David, for his offspring, for his house, and for his throne, there will be peace forever from Yahweh.”
Njuna kri se bo torej povrnila na Joábovo glavo in na glavo njegovega semena na veke, toda nad Davidom, nad njegovim semenom, nad njegovo hišo in nad njegovim prestolom bo mir na veke od Gospoda.«
34 Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and fell on him, and killed him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
Tako je Jojadájev sin Benajá odšel gor, padel nanj, ga usmrtil in pokopan je bil v svoji lastni hiši v divjini.
35 The king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his place over the army; and the king put Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar.
Na njegovo mesto, čez vojsko, je kralj postavil Jojadájevega sina Benajá, na Abjatárjevo mesto pa je kralj postavil duhovnika Cadóka.
36 The king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, “Build yourself a house in Jerusalem, and live there, and don’t go anywhere else.
Kralj je poslal in poklical Šimíja ter mu rekel: »Zgradi si hišo v Jeruzalemu in tam prebivaj in ne hodi kamorkoli od tam.
37 For on the day you go out and pass over the brook Kidron, know for certain that you will surely die. Your blood will be on your own head.”
Kajti tako bo, da na dan, ko pojdeš ven in preideš potok Kidron, boš zagotovo vedel, da boš zagotovo umrl. Tvoja kri bo na tvoji lastni glavi.«
38 Shimei said to the king, “What you say is good. As my lord the king has said, so will your servant do.” Shimei lived in Jerusalem many days.
Šimí je rekel kralju: »Ta beseda je dobra, kakor je rekel moj gospod kralj, tako bo tvoj služabnik storil.« In Šimí je mnogo dni prebival v Jeruzalemu.
39 At the end of three years, two of Shimei’s slaves ran away to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. They told Shimei, saying, “Behold, your slaves are in Gath.”
Pripetilo pa se je ob koncu treh let, da sta dva izmed Šimíjevih služabnikov pobegnila k Maahájevemu sinu Ahíšu, kralju iz Gata. Šimíju so povedali, rekoč: »Glej, tvoja služabnika sta v Gatu.«
40 Shimei arose, saddled his donkey, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his slaves; and Shimei went and brought his slaves from Gath.
Šimí je vstal, osedlal svojega osla in šel v Gat, k Ahíšu, da poišče svoja služabnika. Šimí je odšel in svoja služabnika privedel iz Gata.
41 Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had come again.
To je bilo povedano Salomonu, da je Šimí iz Jeruzalema odšel v Gat in ponovno prišel nazaj.
42 The king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, “Didn’t I adjure you by Yahweh and warn you, saying, ‘Know for certain that on the day you go out and walk anywhere else, you shall surely die’? You said to me, ‘The saying that I have heard is good.’
Kralj je poslal in dal poklicati Šimíja ter mu rekel: »Mar te nisem primoral, da prisežeš pri Gospodu in ti izpričal, rekoč: ›Zagotovo vedi, na dan, ko greš ven in hodiš kakorkoli naokoli, da boš zagotovo umrl?‹ In rekel si mi: ›Beseda, ki sem jo slišal, je dobra.‹
43 Why then have you not kept the oath of Yahweh and the commandment that I have instructed you with?”
Zakaj se potem nisi držal Gospodove prisege in zapovedi, ki sem ti jo naročil?«
44 The king said moreover to Shimei, “You know in your heart all the wickedness that you did to David my father. Therefore Yahweh will return your wickedness on your own head.
Kralj je poleg tega Šimíju rekel: »Ti poznaš vso zlobnost, ki je znana tvojemu srcu, ki si jo storil mojemu očetu Davidu, zato bo Gospod tvojo zlobnost povrnil na tvojo lastno glavo
45 But King Solomon will be blessed, and David’s throne will be established before Yahweh forever.”
in kralj Salomon bo blagoslovljen in Davidov prestol bo pred Gospodom utrjen na veke.«
46 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out, and fell on him, so that he died. The kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
Tako je kralj zapovedal Jojadájevemu sinu Benajáju, ki je odšel ven in padel nanj, da je ta umrl. In kraljestvo je bilo utrjeno v Salomonovi roki.
