2 Samuel 15

1 Then, after these things, Absalom obtained for himself chariots, and horsemen, and fifty men who went before him.

A poslije toga nabavi sebi Avesalom kola i konja i pedeset ljudi, koji trèahu pred njim.

2 And rising up in the morning, Absalom was standing beside the entrance of the gate. And when there was any man who had a dispute that might go before the king’s judgment, Absalom would call him to him, and would say, “Which city are you from?” And responding, he would say, “I am your servant, from a certain 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 And Absalom would answer him: “Your words seem good and just to me. But there is no one appointed by the king to hear you.” And Absalom would say:

Tada bi mu rekao Avesalom: vidiš, tvoja je stvar dobra i pravedna, ali te nema ko saslušati kod cara.

4 “Who may appoint me judge over the land, so that all those who have a dispute might come to me, and I might judge justly.”

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 Then too, when a man would draw near to him, so that he might greet him, he would extend his hand, and taking hold of him, he would kiss him.

I kad bi mu ko pristupio da mu se pokloni, on bi pružio ruku svoju, te bi ga uhvatio i poljubio.

6 And he was doing this to all those of Israel arriving for judgment to be heard by the king. And he solicited the hearts of the men of Israel.

Tako èinjaše Avesalom sa svakim Izrailjcem, koji dolažaše na sud k caru; i Avesalom primamljivaše srca ljudi Izrailjaca.

7 Then, after forty years, Absalom said to king David: “I should go and pay my vows, which I have vowed to the Lord at Hebron.

A kad proðe èetrdeset godina, reèe Avesalom caru: da otidem u Hevron da izvršim zavjet koji sam zavjetovao Gospodu.

8 For your servant made a vow, when he was in Geshur of Syria, saying: If the Lord will lead me back to Jerusalem, I will sacrifice to the Lord.”

Jer kad sjeðah u Gesuru u Siriji, uèini zavjet sluga tvoj rekavši: ako me Gospod odvede natrag u Jerusalim, poslužiæu Gospodu.

9 And king David said to him, “Go in peace.” And he rose up and went away to Hebron.

A car mu reèe: idi s mirom. I on se podiže i otide u Hevron.

10 Then Absalom sent scouts into all the tribes of Israel, saying: “As soon as you hear the blare of the trumpet, say: ‘Absalom reigns in Hebron.’”

I razasla Avesalom po svijem plemenima Izrailjevim uhode poruèivši: kad èujete trube da zatrube, recite: zacari se Avesalom u Hevronu.

11 Now having been called, two hundred men from Jerusalem went forth with Absalom, going in simplicity of heart and being entirely ignorant of the plan.

A s Avesalomom otide dvjesta ljudi iz Jerusalima pozvanijeh; ali otidoše u prostoti svojoj ne znajuæi ništa.

12 Absalom also summoned Ahithophel the Gilonite, a counselor of David, from his city, Giloh. And when he was immolating victims, a very strong oath was sworn, and the people, hurrying together, joined with Absalom.

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 Then a messenger went to David, saying, “With their whole heart, all of Israel is following Absalom.”

Tada doðe glasnik k Davidu i reèe: srce Izrailju prista za Avesalomom.

14 And David said to his servants, who were with him in Jerusalem: “Rise up, let us flee! For otherwise there will be no escape for us from the face of Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest perhaps, upon arriving, he may seize us, and force ruin upon us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”

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 And the servants of the king said to him, “Everything whatsoever that our lord the king will command, we your servants shall carry out willingly.”

A sluge careve rekoše caru: što je god volja caru gospodaru našemu, evo sluga tvojih.

16 Therefore, the king departed, with his entire household on foot. And the king left behind ten women of the concubines to care for the house.

I otide car pješice i sav dom njegov; samo deset žena inoèa ostavi car da mu èuvaju kuæu.

17 And having gone forth on foot, the king and all of Israel stood at a distance from the house.

I kad otide car i sav narod pješice, ustaviše se na jednom mjestu podaleko.

18 And all his servants were walking beside him. And the legions of the Cerethites and Phelethites, and all the Gittites, powerful fighters, six hundred men who had followed him from Gath on foot, were preceding the king.

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 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite: “Why do you come with us? Return and live with the king. For you are a stranger, and you departed from your own place.

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 arrived yesterday. And today should you be compelled to go away with us? For I should go to the place where I am going. But you should return, and lead your own brothers back with you. And the Lord will show mercy and truth to you, because you have shown grace and faith.”

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 And Ittai responded to the king, by saying, “As the Lord lives, and as my lord the king lives, in whatever place you will be, my lord the king, whether in death or in life, your servant will be there.”

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 And David said to Ittai, “Come, and pass over.” And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all the men who were with him, and the rest of the multitude.

Tada reèe David Itaju: a ti hodi. I tako poðe Itaj Getejin sa svijem ljudima svojim i svom djecom što bijahu s njim.

23 And they all wept with a great voice, and all the people passed over. The king also passed over the torrent Kidron. And all the people advanced opposite the way which looks out toward the desert.

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 Now Zadok the priest also went, and all the Levites went with him, carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God. And Abiathar went up, until all the people who had departed from the city had gone by.

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 And the king said to Zadok: “Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I shall find grace in the sight of the Lord, he will lead me back. And he will show it to me in his tabernacle.

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 will say to me, ‘You are not pleasing,’ I am ready. Let him do whatever is good in his own sight.”

Ako li ovako reèe: nijesi mi mio; evo me, neka uèini sa mnom što mu bude volja.

27 And the king said to Zadok the priest: “O seer, return into the city in peace. And let your son Ahimaaz, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar, your two sons, be 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 Behold, I will hide in the plains of the desert, until word from you may arrive to inform me.”

Vidite, ja æu se zabaviti u polju u pustinji dokle ne doðe od vas glasnik da mi javi.

29 Therefore, Zadok and Abiathar carried back the ark of God into Jerusalem, and they remained there.

I tako Sadok i Avijatar odnesoše kovèeg Božji natrag u Jerusalim, i ostaše ondje.

30 But David ascended to the Mount of Olives, climbing and weeping, advancing with bare feet and with his head covered. Moreover, all the people who were with him ascended, weeping with their heads covered.

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 Then it was reported to David that Ahithophel also had joined in swearing with Absalom. And David said, “O Lord, I beg you, to uncover the foolishness of the counsel of Ahithophel.”

Tada javiše Davidu i rekoše mu: Ahitofel je meðu onima koji se pobuniše s Avesalomom. A David reèe: razbij namjeru Ahitofelovu, Gospode!

32 And when David had ascended to the summit of the mountain, where he was going to adore the Lord, behold Hushai the Archite met him, with his garment torn and his head covered with soil.

I kad David doðe navrh gore, gdje se šæaše pokloniti Bogu, gle, srete ga Husaj Arhijanin razdrte haljine i glave posute prahom.

33 And David said to him: “If you come with me, you will be a burden to me.

I reèe mu David: ako poðeš sa mnom biæeš mi na tegotu.

34 But if you return to the city, and you say to Absalom, ‘I am your servant, O king; just as I have been the servant of your father, so too will I be your servant,’ you will destroy the counsel of Ahithophel

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 And you have with you the priests Zadok and Abiathar. And any word whatsoever that you will hear from the house of the king, you shall reveal it to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests.

I sveštenici Sadok i Avijatar neæe li biti s tobom? Što god èuješ iz kuæe careve, dokaži Sadoku i Avijataru sveštenicima.

36 Now with them are their two sons Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar. And you shall send to me by them every word that you will have heard.”

Eto, ondje su s njima dva sina njihova, Ahimas Sadokov i Jonatan Avijatarov, po njima mi javljajte što god doèujete.

37 Therefore, Hushai, the friend of David, went into the city. And Absalom also entered into Jerusalem.

I otide u grad Husaj prijatelj Davidov, i Avesalom doðe u Jerusalim.
