1 Књига Самуилова 25
1 У том умре Самуило и сабра се сав Израиљ, и плакаше за њим, и погребоше га у дому његовом у Рами. А Давид уста и сиђе у пустињу Фаранску.
Now Samuel died. All Israel gathered together and mourned for him, and they buried him in his house at Ramah. Then David rose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
2 А беше један човек у Маону, а стока му беше на Кармилу; и беше човек врло богат, јер имаше три хиљаде оваца и хиљаду коза, и тада стрижаше овце своје на Кармилу.
There was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel. The man was very wealthy. He had three thousand sheep and one thousand goats. He was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
3 И беше име том човеку Навал, а жени му име Авигеја; и она беше жена разумна и лепа, а он беше тврда срца и опак, а беше од рода Халевовог.
The man's name was Nabal, and the name of his wife was Abigail. The woman was intelligent and beautiful in appearance. But the man was harsh and evil in his dealings. He was a descendant of the house of Caleb.
4 И Давид чу у пустињи да Навал стриже овце.
David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
5 И посла Давид десет момака, и рече Давид момцима: Идите на Кармил, и отидите к Навалу, и поздравите га од мене.
So David sent ten young men. David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.
6 И реците му: Здраво! И мир да ти је, и дому твом да је мир, и свему што имаш да је мир!
You will say to him, 'Live in prosperity. Peace to you and peace to your house, and peace be to all that you have.
7 Чуо сам да стрижеш овце; пастири су твоји бивали код нас, и не учинисмо им неправде, и ништа им није нестало докле год беху на Кармилу.
I hear that you have shearers. Your shepherds have been with us, and we did them no harm, and they missed nothing the whole time they were in Carmel.
8 Питај слуге своје, и казаће ти. Нека ови момци нађу милост пред тобом, јер дођосмо у добар дан. Дај слугама својим и Давиду сину свом што ти дође до руке.
Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Now let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we have come on a festive day. Please give whatever you have on hand to your servants and to your son David.'”
9 И дођоше момци Давидови, и казаше Навалу у име Давидово све ове речи, и ућуташе.
When David's young men arrived, they said all of this to Nabal on David's behalf and then waited.
10 А Навал одговори слугама Давидовим и рече: Ко је Давид? И ко је син Јесејев? Данас има много слуга које беже од својих господара.
Nabal answered David's servants, “Who is David, and who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants these days who are breaking away from their masters.
11 Еда ли ћу узети хлеб свој и воду своју и месо што сам поклао за људе који ми стрижу овце, па дати људима којих не знам одакле су?
Should I take my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who come from I do not know where?”
12 Тада се вратише момци Давидови својим путем, вратише се, и дошавши казаше му све ове речи.
So David's young men turned away and came back, and told him everything that was said.
13 А Давид рече својим људима: Припашите сваки свој мач. И припасаше сваки свој мач, и Давид припаса свој мач; и пође за Давидом до четири стотине људи, а двеста осташе код пртљага.
David said to his men, “Every man strap on his sword.” So every man strapped on his sword. David also strapped on his sword. About four hundred men followed after David, and two hundred stayed by the baggage.
14 Али Авигеји, жени Наваловој, каза један између слуга његових говорећи: Ево, Давид посла из пустиње посланике да поздрави господара нашег, а он их отера.
But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife; he said, “David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master, and he insulted them.
15 А ти су нам људи били врло добри. Нити нам учинише криво, нити нам чега неста докле год бејасмо код њих у пољу.
Yet the men were very good to us. We were not harmed and did not miss anything as long as we went with them when we were in the fields.
16 Него нам беху зидови и ноћу и дању, докле год бејасмо код њих пасући овце.
They were a wall to us both day and night, all the while we were with them tending the sheep.
17 Зато сада гледај и промисли шта ћеш чинити, јер је готово зло господару нашем и свему дому његовом; а он је зао човек, да му се не може говорити.
Therefore know this and consider what you will do, for evil is plotted against our master, and against his whole house. He is such a worthless fellow that one cannot reason with him.”
18 Тада Авигеја брже узе двеста хлебова и две мешине вина и пет оваца зготовљених и пет мерица прженог жита, и сто гроздова сувог грожђа и двеста груда сувих смокава, и метну на магарце.
Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves, two bottles of wine, five sheep already prepared, five measures of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.
19 И рече момцима својим: Хајдете напред, а ја ћу ићи за вама. А мужу свом Навалу ништа не рече.
She said to her young men, “Go on before me, and I will come after you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
20 И седавши на магарца иђаше испод горе, а гле Давид и људи његови силажаху пред њу, и сукоби се с њима.
As she rode on her donkey and came down by the cover of the mountain, David and his men came down toward her, and she met them.
21 А Давид говораше: Еле сам залуду чувао све што је тај имао у пустињи да му ништа не беше нестало од свега што има; јер ми врати зло за добро.
Now David had said, “Surely in vain have I guarded all that this man has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him, and he has returned me evil for good.
22 То нека учини Бог непријатељима Давидовим и то нека дода, ако му до зоре од свега што има оставим и оно што мокри уз зид.
May God do so to me, David, and more also, if by the morning I leave so much as one male of all who belong to him.”
23 А кад Авигеја угледа Давида, брже сиђе с магарца, и паде пред Давидом на лице своје и поклони се до земље;
When Abigail saw David, she hurried and got down from her donkey and lay before David facedown and bowed herself to the ground.
24 И паднувши му к ногама рече: На мени, господару, нека буде та кривица; али да проговори слушкиња твоја теби, и чуј речи слушкиње своје.
She lay at his feet and said, “On me alone, my master, be the guilt. Please let your servant speak to you, and listen to the words of your servant.
25 Нека господар мој не гледа на тог неваљалог човека, Навала, јер је као име што му је; Навал му је име, и безумље је код њега. А ја слушкиња твоја нисам видела момке господара свог које си слао.
Let not my master regard this worthless fellow, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him. But I your servant did not see the young men of my master, whom you sent.
26 Зато сада, господару, тако жив био Господ и тако жива била душа твоја, Господ ти не да да идеш на крв и да се осветиш својом руком. Зато сада нека буде непријатељима твојим као Навалу и свима који траже зла господару мом.
Now then, my master, as Yahweh lives, and as you live, since Yahweh has restrained you from bloodshed, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now let your enemies, and those who seek to do evil to my master, be like Nabal.
27 Ево дар што је донела слушкиња господару свом, да се да момцима који иду за господарем мојим.
Now let this present that your servant has brought to my master be given to the young men who follow my master.
28 Опрости слушкињи својој кривицу; јер ће Господ зацело начинити тврду кућу господару мом; јер ратове Господње води господар мој и није се нашло зло на теби никад за твог века.
Please forgive the trespass of your servant, for Yahweh will certainly make my master a sure house, because my master is fighting the battles of Yahweh; and evil will not be found in you so long as you live.
29 И да устане човек да те гони и тражи душу твоју, душа ће господара мог бити везана у свежњу живих код Господа Бога твог, а душе ће непријатеља твојих бацити као из праћке.
Though men rise up to pursue you to take your life, yet the life of my master will be bound in the bundle of the living by Yahweh your God; and he will sling away the lives of your enemies, as from the pocket of a sling.
30 И кад Господ учини господару мом свако добро које ти је обрекао, и постави те вођом Израиљу,
Yahweh will have done for my master everything he promised you, and has appointed you leader over Israel.
31 Неће ти бити спотицања ни саблазни срцу господара мог да је пролио крв низашта и да се сам осветио господар мој. И кад учини Господ добро господару мом, опоменућеш се слушкиње своје.
This will not be a staggering burden for you—that you have poured out innocent blood, or because my master attempted to rescue himself. For when Yahweh will do good for my master, remember your servant.”
32 Тада рече Давид Авигеји: Да је благословен Господ Бог Израиљев, који те данас посла мени на сусрет!
David said to Abigail, “May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be blessed, he who sent you to meet me today.
33 И да су благословене речи твоје, и ти да си благословена, која ме одврати данас да не идем на крв и осветим се својом руком.
Your wisdom is blessed and you are blessed, because you have kept me today from bloodshed and from avenging myself with my own hand!
34 Доиста, тако жив био Господ Бог Израиљев, који ми не даде да ти учиним зло, да ми ниси брже изашла на сусрет, не би остало Навалу до зоре ни оно што уза зид мокри.
For in truth, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, he who has kept me from hurting you, unless you had hurried to come meet me, there would certainly have not been left to Nabal so much as one male baby by morning.”
35 И прими Давид из руке њене шта му беше донела, и рече јој: Иди с миром кући својој; ето, послушах те, и погледах на те.
So David received from her hand what she had brought him; he said to her, “Go up in peace to your house; see, I have listened to your voice and have accepted you.”
36 Потом се Авигеја врати к Навалу; а гле, код њега гозба у кући, као царска гозба, и срце Навалу беше весело, и беше пијан врло. Зато му она не рече ништа до јутра.
Abigail went back to Nabal; behold, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. So she told him nothing at all until the morning light.
37 А ујутру кад се Навал отрезни, каза му жена све ово; а у њему обамре срце његово, и он поста као камен.
It came about in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things; his heart died within him, and he became like a stone.
38 А кад прође до десет дана, удари Господ Навала, те умре.
It came about ten days later that Yahweh attacked Nabal so that he died.
39 А кад Давид чу да је умро Навал, рече: Да је благословен Господ, који освети срамоту моју од Навала, и задржа слугу свог ода зла, а обрати Господ Навалу на главу злоћу његову. Потом посла Давид и поручи Авигеји да ће је узети за жену.
When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “May Yahweh be blessed, who has taken up the cause of my insult from the hand of Nabal and has kept back his servant from evil. He has turned Nabal's evil action back on his own head.” Then David sent and spoke to Abigail, to take her to himself as wife.
40 И слуге Давидове дођоше к Авигеји на Кармил, и рекоше јој говорећи: Давид нас посла к теби да те узме за жену.
When David's servants had come to Abigail at Carmel, they spoke to her and said, “David has sent us to you to take you to him as his wife.”
41 А она уста и поклони се лицем до земље, и рече: Ево слушкиње твоје, да служи и да пере ноге слугама господара свог.
She arose, bowed herself with her face to the ground, and said, “See, your female servant is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my master.”
42 Потом брже уста Авигеја, и седе на магарца, и пет девојака њених пође за њом, и отиде за посланицима Давидовим, и поста му жена.
Abigail hurried and arose, and rode on a donkey with five servant girls of hers who followed her; and she followed David's messengers and became his wife.
43 А Давид узе и Ахиноаму из Језраела: и обе му беху жене.
Now David had also taken Ahinoam of Jezreel as a wife; both of them became his wives.
44 Јер Саул даде Михалу кћер своју, жену Давидовом, Фалтију сину Лаисовом из Галима.
Also, Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Paltiel son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
