1 Kraljevima 2
1 Kad su se dani Davidovi približavali svome svršetku, zapovjedi David svome sinu Salomonu:
And the days of David to die draw near, and he charges his son Solomon, saying,
2 “Sada polazim na put sviju smrtnika. Ti budi hrabar i pokaži se čovjekom!
“I am going in the way of all the earth, and you have been strong, and become a man,
3 Slušaj naredbe Jahve, Boga svoga, idi njegovim stazama, drži se njegovih zakona, zapovijedi, naredaba i njegovih pouka, kako je napisano u Zakonu Mojsijevu, da bi uspio u svemu što poduzmeš i svagdje kamo se okreneš;
and you have kept the charge of your God YHWH, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commands, and His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, so that you do wisely [in] all that you do, and wherever you turn,
4 da bi Jahve ispunio svoje obećanje koje mi je dao: 'Ako sinovi tvoji budu pazili na svome putu, vjerno hodeći preda mnom, svim srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom, uvijek će jedan od njih sjediti na prijestolju Izraelovu.'
so that YHWH establishes His word which He spoke to me, saying, If your sons observe their way to walk before Me in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul; saying, A man of yours is never cut off from the throne of Israel.
5 I sam znaš što mi je učinio Joab, sin Sarvijin, kako je učinio obojici vojskovođa Izraelovih: Abneru, sinu Nerovu, i Amasi, sinu Jeterovu, kad ih je ubio i time prolio krv u miru kao u ratu te omastio krvlju pojas oko bokova svojih i obuću na nogama svojim.
And also, you have known that which he did to me—Joab son of Zeruiah—that which he did to two heads of the hosts of Israel, to Abner son of Ner, and to Amasa son of Jether—that he slays them, and makes the blood of war in peace, and puts the blood of war in his girdle, that [is] on his loins, and in his sandals that [are] on his feet;
and you have done according to your wisdom, and do not let his old age go down in peace to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
7 A sinovima Barzilaja Gileađanina vrati ljubav: neka budu među onima koji jedu za tvojim stolom jer su mi pomogli kad sam bježao pred tvojim bratom Abšalomom.
And you do kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and they have been among those eating at your table, for so they drew near to me in my fleeing from the face of your brother Absalom.
8 Pred sobom imaš Šimeja, sina Gerina, Benjaminovca iz Bahurima, koji me užasnim kletvama proklinjao onoga dana kad sam bježao u Mahanajim. Ali mi je on sišao u susret na Jordan i zakleh mu se Jahvom: 'Neću te pogubiti mačem.'
And behold, Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite of Bahurim, [is] with you, and he reviled me—a grievous reviling—in the day of my going to Mahanaim; and he has come down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swear to him by YHWH, saying, I do not put you to death by the sword;
9 Ali mu ti toga ne opraštaj, jer si čovjek razborit, i već ćeš znati kako treba da postupiš te mu sijedu kosu s krvlju u Podzemlje spremiš.” (Sheol h7585)
and now, do not acquit him, for you [are] a wise man, and you have known that which you do to him, and have brought down his old age with blood to Sheol.” (Sheol h7585)
10 I potom počinu David kraj otaca svojih i bi pokopan u Davidovu gradu.
And David lies down with his fathers, and is buried in the City of David,
11 David je kraljevao nad Izraelom četrdeset godina: u Hebronu je kraljevao sedam godina, u Jeruzalemu je kraljevao trideset i tri godine.
and the days that David has reigned over Israel [are] forty years; he has reigned seven years in Hebron, and he has reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
12 Salomon sjede na prijestolje Davida, svoga oca, i njegova se vlast veoma učvrsti.
And Solomon has sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingdom is established greatly,
13 Ali Adonija, sin Hagitin, dođe Bat-Šebi, majci Salomonovoj, i pade ničice pred njom. Ona ga upita: “Je li miroljubiv tvoj dolazak?” On odgovori: “Jest, miroljubiv je.”
and Adonijah son of Haggith comes to Bathsheba, mother of Solomon, and she says, “Is your coming peace?” And he says, “Peace.”
14 I nastavi: “Imam ti nešto reći.” Ona reče: “Govori.”
And he says, “I have a word for you,” and she says, “Speak.”
15 Tada će on: “Znaš i sama da je kraljevstvo pripadalo meni i da je sav Izrael očekivao da ću ja biti kralj. Ali mi je kraljevstvo izmaklo i pripalo je mome bratu, jer mu ga je Jahve namijenio.
And he says, “You have known that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had set their faces toward me for reigning, and the kingdom is turned around, and is my brother’s, for it was his from YHWH;
16 Ja te sada samo jedno molim: nemoj me odbiti.” Ona reče: “Govori.”
and now, I am asking one petition of you—do not turn back my face”; and she says to him, “Speak.”
17 A on nastavi: “Reci, molim te, kralju Salomonu - jer tebe neće odbiti - neka mi dade za ženu Abišagu Šunamku!”
And he says, “Please speak to Solomon the king, for he does not turn back your face, and he gives Abishag the Shunammite to me for a wife.”
18 A Bat-Šeba odgovori: “Dobro, govorit ću kralju o tebi.”
And Bathsheba says, “Good; I speak to the king for you.”
19 Kada dakle uđe Bat-Šeba kralju Salomonu da govori o Adoniji, ustade kralj i pođe joj u susret, pokloni se pred njom, zatim sjede na svoje prijestolje i zapovjedi te namjestiše sjedalicu za kraljicu majku, i ona mu sjede s desne strane.
And Bathsheba comes to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, and the king rises to meet her, and bows himself to her, and sits on his throne, and places a throne for the mother of the king, and she sits at his right hand.
20 Tada mu reče: “Nešto bih zaiskala od tebe, nemoj me odbiti.” Kralj joj odgovori: “Traži, majko, jer te neću odbiti.”
And she says, “I ask one small petition of you, do not turn back my face”; and the king says to her, “Ask, my mother, for I do not turn back your face.”
21 Ona nastavi: “Neka se dade Abišaga Šunamka tvome bratu Adoniji za ženu.”
And she says, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to your brother Adonijah for a wife.”
22 Kralj Salomon odgovori i reče svojoj majci: “Zašto tražiš Abišagu Šunamku za Adoniju? Traži odmah i kraljevstvo za njega! Jer on je moj stariji brat, a uz njega je svećenik Ebjatar i Joab, sin Sarvijin!”
And King Solomon answers and says to his mother, “And why are you asking [for] Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Also ask [for] the kingdom for him—for he [is] my elder brother—even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab son of Zeruiah.”
23 Tada se kralj Salomon zakle Jahvom: “Neka mi Bog učini ovo zlo i neka mi doda drugo ako Adonija nije to izrekao danas po cijenu svoga života!
And King Solomon swears by YHWH, saying, “Thus God does to me, and thus He adds—surely Adonijah has spoken this word against his [own] soul;
24 Živoga mi Jahve, koji me potvrdio i posadio na prijestolje oca moga Davida i koji mi je dao dom kako je obećao: još danas će Adonija umrijeti.”
and now, YHWH lives, who has established me, and causes me to sit on the throne of my father David, and who has made a house for me as He spoke—surely Adonijah is put to death today.”
25 I kralj Salomon posla Benaju, sina Jojadina, koji ga udari te Adonija umrije.
And King Solomon sends by the hand of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he falls on him, and he dies.
26 Svećeniku Ebjataru kralj zatim naredi: “Idi u Anatot na svoj posjed. Zaslužio si smrt, ali te neću pogubiti danas jer si nosio Jahvin Kovčeg pred ocem mojim Davidom i podijelio si sve patnje s mojim ocem.”
And the king said to Abiathar the priest, “Go to Anathoth, to your fields; for you [are] a man of death, but I do not put you to death in this day, because you have carried the Ark of Lord YHWH before my father David, and because you were afflicted in all that my father was afflicted in.”
27 I Salomon isključi Ebjatara iz svećenstva Jahvina da tako ispuni Jahvinu riječ koju je izrekao protiv doma Elijeva u Šilu.
And Solomon casts out Abiathar from being priest of YHWH, to fulfill the word of YHWH which He spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
28 Kada je glas stigao Joabu - Joab bijaše pristao uz Adoniju, premda se nije priključio Abšalomu - on uteče u Šator Jahvin i uhvati se za rogove žrtvenika.
And the report has come to Joab—for Joab has turned aside after Adonijah, though he did not turn aside after Absalom—and Joab flees to the tent of YHWH, and lays hold on the horns of the altar.
29 I dojaviše kralju Salomonu: “Joab je pobjegao u Šator Jahvin, eno ga pokraj žrtvenika.” Tada Salomon poruči Joabu: “Što se držiš žrtvenika?” Joab odgovori: “Uplašio sam se tebe i pobjegao sam pred Jahvu.” Tada Salomon naredi Benaji, sinu Jojadinu: “Idi i ubij ga!”
And it is declared to King Solomon that Joab has fled to the tent of YHWH, and behold, [is] near the altar; and Solomon sends Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, fall on him.”
30 Benaja ode u Šator Jahvin i reče Joabu: “Po naredbi kraljevoj: iziđi!” On odgovori: “Neću, želim ovdje umrijeti!” Benaja javi kralju: “Eto što mi je rekao Joab i što mi je odgovorio.”
And Benaiah comes into the tent of YHWH and says to him, “Thus said the king: Come out”; and he says, “No, but I die here.” And Benaiah brings back word [to] the king, saying, “Thus spoke Joab, indeed, thus he answered me.”
31 Kralj mu reče: “Učini kako je rekao: ubij ga, zatim pokopaj. Tako ćeš danas skinuti s mene i doma oca moga nevinu krv koju je Joab prolio.
And the king says to him, “Do as he has spoken, and fall on him, and you have buried him, and turned aside the causeless blood which Joab shed from off me, and from off the house of my father;
32 Jahve će učiniti da krv njegova padne na njegovu glavu, jer je ubio dva čovjeka pravednika i bolja od sebe; ubio ih je mačem bez znanja moga oca Davida: Abnera, sina Nerova, vođu vojske Izraelove, i Amasu, sina Jeterova, vojvodu judejskoga.
and YHWH has turned back his blood on his own head, [on him] who has fallen on two men more righteous and better than he, and slays them with the sword—and my father David did not know—Abner son of Ner, head of the host of Israel, and Amasa son of Jether, head of the host of Judah;
33 Neka njihova krv padne na glavu Joaba i njegova potomstva dovijeka, a Davidu, njegovu potomstvu, vladalačkoj kući i prijestolju neka od Jahve bude trajan mir.”
indeed, their blood has turned back on the head of Joab, and on the head of his seed for all time; and for David, and for his seed, and for his house, and for his throne, there is peace for all time, from YHWH.”
34 I ode Benaja, sin Jojadin, obori se na Joaba i usmrti ga. Pokopali su Joaba u njegovu domu u pustinji.
And Benaiah son of Jehoiada goes up and falls on him, and puts him to death, and he is buried in his own house in the wilderness,
35 Mjesto njega postavi kralj na čelo vojske Benaju, sina Jojadina, a na mjesto Ebjatara postavi svećenika Sadoka.
and the king puts Benaiah son of Jehoiada over the host in his stead, and the king has put Zadok the priest in the stead of Abiathar.
36 Salomon pozva Šimeja i reče mu: “Sagradi sebi kuću u Jeruzalemu: tu stanuj, i nikamo odatle ne izlazi.
And the king sends and calls for Shimei, and says to him, “Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem, and you have dwelt there, and do not go out [from] there anywhere;
37 Onoga dana kad iziđeš i prijeđeš potok Kidron, znaj dobro da ćeš umrijeti. Krv tvoja na glavu tvoju.”
and it has been, in the day of your going out, and you have passed over the Brook of Kidron, you certainly know that you surely die—your blood is on your head.”
38 Šimej odgovori kralju: “Dobro. Kako moj gospodar kralj kaže, tako će učiniti sluga tvoj.” I Šimej dugo življaše u Jeruzalemu.
And Shimei says to the king, “The word [is] good; as my lord the king has spoken so your servant does”; and Shimei dwells in Jerusalem many days.
39 Ali poslije tri godine dogodi se te Šimeju pobjegoše dvojica slugu k Akišu, sinu Maakinu, kralju gatskom. I dojaviše Šimeju: “Eno ti slugu u Gatu.”
And it comes to pass, at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei flee to Achish son of Maachah, king of Gath, and they declare to Shimei, saying, “Behold, your servants [are] in Gath”;
40 Tada usta Šimej, osedla magarca i ode u Gat, k Akišu, da traži svoje sluge. I vratio se Šimej i doveo svoje sluge iz Gata.
and Shimei rises, and saddles his donkey, and goes to Gath, to Achish, to seek his servants, and Shimei goes and brings his servants from Gath.
41 I javiše Salomonu: “Šimej otišao iz Jeruzalema u Gat i vratio se.”
And it is declared to Solomon that Shimei has gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and returns,
42 Kralj pozva Šimeja i reče mu: “Nisam li ti se zakleo Jahvom i strogo te opomenuo: 'Onoga dana kad budeš izišao i pošao bilo kamo, znaj dobro da ćeš umrijeti!' A ti si mi tada odgovorio: 'Dobra je riječ koju sam čuo.'
and the king sends and calls for Shimei, and says to him, “Have I not caused you to swear by YHWH—and I testify against you, saying, In the day of your going out, and you have gone anywhere, you certainly know that you surely die; and you say to me, The word I have heard [is] good?
43 Zašto nisi održao zakletvu Jahvinu i zapovijed koju sam ti dao?”
And why have you not kept the oath of YHWH, and the charge that I charged on you?”
44 Još reče kralj Šimeju: “Ti znaš sve zlo koje si učinio mome ocu Davidu. Tvoje je srce toga svjesno. Jahve neka učini da se tvoja zloća obori na tvoju glavu.
And the king says to Shimei, “You have known all the evil that your heart has known, which you did to my father David, and YHWH has turned back your evil on your head,
45 A blagoslovljen je kralj Salomon, i prijestolje će Davidovo biti čvrsto pred Jahvom dovijeka.”
and King Solomon [is] blessed, and the throne of David is established before YHWH for all time.”
46 I zapovjedi kralj Benaji, sinu Jojadinu, te on iziđe i udari Šimeja i tako Šimej umrije. Tako se učvrstilo kraljevstvo u ruci Salomonovoj.
And the king charges Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he goes out and falls on him, and he dies, and the kingdom is established in the hand of Solomon.
