1It happened after this, that Absalom prepared him a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
1A potom sa stalo, že si Absalom zadovážil voz a kone a päťdesiat mužov, ktorí behali pred ním.
2Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. It was so, that when any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, “What city are you from?” He said, “Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.”
2A Absalom vstávajúc skoro ráno postavoval sa pri ceste, ktorá viedla do brány, a kedykoľvek išiel niektorý muž, ktorý mal nejaký spor, ku kráľovi na súd, každého zavolal Absalom k sebe a hovoril: Z ktorého mesta si ty? A keď odpovedal: Tvoj služobník je z toho a z toho pokolenia Izraelovho,
3Absalom said to him, “Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you.”
3riekol mu Absalom: Hľaď, tvoje slová sú dobré a spravedlivé, ale nemáš nikoho od kráľa, kto by ťa počul.
4Absalom said moreover, “Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!”
4A ešte povedal Absalom: Ó, keby mňa ustanovili za sudcu v zemi, aby ku mne prišiel každý, kto by mal nejaký spor alebo súd, a prislúžil by som mu spravedlivosť!
5It was so, that when any man came near to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him.
5A stávalo sa, keď sa niekedy niekto priblížil, aby sa mu poklonil, že vystrel svoju ruku, uchopil ho a bozkal ho.
6Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
6Tak podobne robil Absalom celému Izraelovi, všetkým, ktorí prichádzali ku kráľovi na súd. A takým činom ukradol Absalom srdce mužov Izraelových.
7It happened at the end of forty years, that Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to Yahweh, in Hebron.
7A stalo sa po štyridsiatich rokoch, že povedal Absalom kráľovi: Dovoľ, prosím, že by som odišiel a splnil svoj sľub, ktorý som sľúbil Hospodinovi, v Hebrone.
8For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If Yahweh shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve Yahweh.’”
8Lebo tvoj služobník sľúbil sľub, keď som býval v Gešúre, v Aramejsku, povediac: Ak ma kedy zase navráti Hospodin do Jeruzalema, budem slúžiť Hospodinovi.
9The king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he arose, and went to Hebron.
9A kráľ mu povedal: Iď v pokoji. A tak sa sobral a odišiel do Hebrona.
10But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ‘Absalom is king in Hebron!’”
10A Absalom poslal vyzvedačov do všetkých pokolení Izraelových povediac: Keď počujete zvuk trúby, poviete: Absalom kraľuje v Hebrone!
11Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they didn’t know anything.
11A s Absalomom išlo dvesto mužov z Jeruzalema, ktorí boli pozvaní, a išli vo svojej prostote nevediac celkom o ničom.
12Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. The conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.
12A Absalom poslal poslov a dal povolať Achitofela Gilonského, radcu Dávidovho, z jeho mesta, z Gilona, kým obetoval svoje obeti. A bolo to mohutné spiknutie, lebo ustavične pribúdalo ľudu, ktorý bol s Absalomom.
13A messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.”
13Potom prišiel posol k Dávidovi, ktorý oznamoval: Srdce mužov Izraelových sa obrátilo po Absalomovi!
14David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise, and let us flee; for else none of us shall escape from Absalom. Make speed to depart, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down evil on us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”
14Vtedy riekol Dávid všetkým svojim služobníkom, ktorí boli s ním v Jeruzaleme: Vstaňte, a utečme, lebo ináče nebude úniku pred Absalomom. Ponáhľajte sa odísť, aby sa nepoponáhľal on a nedostihol nás a neuvalil na nás zlého a nepobil mesta ostrím meča.
15The king’s servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses.”
15A služobníci kráľovi povedali kráľovi: Čokoľvek zvolí náš pán kráľ, hľa, sme tvoji služobníci.
16The king went forth, and all his household after him. The king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.
16A tak vyšiel kráľ i celý jeho dom peší, iba čo zanechal kráľ desať žien, ženín, aby dozeraly na dom.
17The king went forth, and all the people after him; and they stayed in Beth Merhak.
17A tedy vyšiel kráľ i všetok ľud peší, a zastavili sa pri Bét-mercháku.
18All his servants passed on beside him; 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.
18A všetci jeho služobníci išli popri ňom ako i všetci Keréťania a všetci Peléťania, jeho osobná stráž, a všetci Gitťania, šesťsto mužov, ktorí boli prišli z Gátu nasledujúc ho, išli popred kráľa.
19Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why do you also go with us? Return, and stay with the king; for you are a foreigner, and also an exile. Return to your own place.
19Vtedy povedal kráľ Ittajovi Gitťanskému: Prečo ideš aj ty s nami? Navráť sa a zostaň s kráľom, lebo si cudzinec, ktorý sa aj zase vystehuješ voľakde na svoje miesto.
20Whereas you came but yesterday, should I this day make you go up and down with us, since I go where I may? Return, and take back your brothers. Mercy and truth be with you.”
20Len včera si prišiel, a dnes by som mal žiadať, aby si išiel s nami sa potulovať? Lebo ja pojdem, kam už pojdem. Vráť sa a pojmi zpät aj svojich bratov so sebou. Milosť a pravda nech je s tebou!
21Ittai answered the king, and said, “As Yahweh lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king shall is, whether for death or for life, even there also will your servant be.”
21Ale Ittaj odpovedal kráľovi a riekol: Ako že žije Hospodin, a jako žije môj pán kráľ, že len na tom mieste, na ktorom bude môj pán kráľ, už či to bude na smrť a či na život, len tam bude i tvoj služobník.
22David said to Ittai, “Go and pass over.” Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him.
22Vtedy riekol Dávid Ittajovi: Poď a prejdi! A tak prešiel Ittaj Gitťanský i všetci jeho mužovia i všetky malé deti, ktoré boly s ním.
23All 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.
23Vtedy plakala celá zem veľkým hlasom i všetok ľud, ktorý ta idúc prechádzal na druhú stranu. A tak išiel kráľ cez potok Kidron a všetok ľud išiel šírou cesty, smerom na púšť.
24Behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites 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 finished passing out of the city.
24A hľa, i Cádok i všetci Levitovia išli s ním nesúc truhlu smluvy Božej. A postavili truhlu Božiu, a Ebiatár obetoval zápalné obeti, dokiaľ neprešiel všetok ľud, idúci z mesta.
25The king said to Zadok, “Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of Yahweh, he will bring me again, and show me both it, and his habitation;
25A kráľ povedal Cádokovi: Zanes truhlu Božiu zpät do mesta. Ak najdem milosť v očiach Hospodinových, zase ma dovedie zpät a dá mi ju vidieť i svoj príbytok.
26but if he say thus, ‘I have no delight in you;’ behold, here am I. Let him do to me as seems good to him.”
26Ale ak povie takto: Neľúbiš sa mi, hľa, tu som, nech mi učiní podľa toho, čo je dobré v jeho očiach.
27The king said also to Zadok the priest, “Aren’t you a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
27A ešte povedal kráľ Cádokovi, kňazovi: Či vidíš? Navráť sa do mesta v pokoji, a Achimaac, tvoj syn, i Jonatán, syn Ebiatárov, obidvaja vaši synovia nech idú s vami.
28Behold, I will stay at the fords of the wilderness, until word comes from you to inform me.”
28Hľaďte, ja budem vyčkávať, čo bude, pri brodoch púšte dokiaľ neprijde slovo od vás oznámiť mi.
29Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem; and they stayed there.
29Vtedy zaniesol Cádok a Ebiatár truhlu Božiu zpät do Jeruzalema, a zostali tam.
30David went up by the ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered, and went barefoot: and all the people who were with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
30A Dávid išiel hore po svahu Olivového vrchu, išiel a plakal majúc hlavu zakrytú a išiel bosý, ale i všetok ľud, ktorý išiel s ním, každý zakryli svoju hlavu a idúc pomaly hore plakali.
31Someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” David said, “Yahweh, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.”
31Tu oznámil ktosi Dávidovi, že vraj Achitofel je medzi spiklencami držiac s Absalomom. A Dávid riekol: Obráť, prosím, Hospodine, radu Achitofelovu na bláznovstvo!
32It happened that when David had come to the top, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn, and earth on his head.
32A stalo sa, keď prišiel Dávid až hore na vrch, kde sa klaňajú Bohu, tu hľa, prichádzal oproti nemu Chúšai Arechitský majúc roztrhnuté svoje rúcho, a mal zem na svojej hlave.
33David said to him, “If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;
33A Dávid mu riekol: Ak pojdeš so mnou, budeš mi na ťarchu.
34but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king. As I have been your father’s servant in time past, so will I now be your servant; then will you defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.’
34Ale ak sa navrátiš do mesta a povieš Absalomovi: Som tvoj služobník, kráľu. Bol som služobníkom tvojho otca, od dávna, ale teraz som tvojím služobníkom, a zrušíš mi radu Achitofelovu.
35Don’t you have Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? Therefore it shall be, that whatever thing you shall hear out of the king’s house, you shall tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
35A veď či nie sú tam s tebou Cádok a Ebiatár, kňazi? A bude, že všetko, čo počuješ z domu kráľovho, oznámiš Cádokovi a Ebiatárovi, kňazom.
36Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son; and by them you shall send to me everything that you shall hear.”
36Hľa, sú tam s nimi dvaja ich synovia, Achimaac Cádokov, a Jonatán Ebiatárov, a po nich mi odkážete všetko, čo počujete.
37So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
37A tak prišiel Chúšai, priateľ Dávidov, do mesta. A Absalom tiež prišiel do Jeruzalema.
