2 Samuel 15

1 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.

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

2 And Absalom rose early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is one of the tribes 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 said to him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed by the king to hear thee.

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

4 Absalom said moreover, O that I were made judge in the land, that every man who hath any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!

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 And it was so, that when any man came near to him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.

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

6 And in this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole 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 And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said to the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron.

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

8 For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the LORD shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will serve 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 the king said to him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.

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

10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron.

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

11 And with Absalom went two hundred men from Jerusalem, that were invited; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing.

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

12 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually 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 And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.

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

14 And David said to all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he should overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite 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 king’s servants said to the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king shall appoint.

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

16 And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.

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

17 And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off.

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

18 And all his servants passed on by his side; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, passed on before 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 said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Why goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king: for thou art a stranger, and also an exile.

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 Though thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us? seeing I go wherever I may, return thou, and take back thy brethren: mercy and truth be with thee.

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 answered the king, and said, As the LORD liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be.

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, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.

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 all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.

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 And lo Zadok also, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had passed out of the city.

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 favour in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me again, and show me both it, and his habitation:

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 shall thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good to him.

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

27 The king said also to Zadok the priest, Art not thou a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.

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 See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until word shall come from you to inform me.

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

29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they tarried there.

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

30 And David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, and wept as he went, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot: and all the people that were with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went.

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 And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.

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

32 And it came to pass, that when David had come to the top of the mount, where he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn, and earth upon his head:

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

33 To whom David said, If thou shalt pass on with me, then thou shalt be a burden to me:

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

34 But if thou shalt return to the city, and say to Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father’s servant to this time, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat 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 hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, that whatever thing thou shalt hear out of the king’s house, thou shalt tell 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 Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz Zadok’s son, and Jonathan Abiathar’s son; and by them ye shall send to me every thing that ye can hear.

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

37 So Hushai David’s friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.

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