1When David was a little past the top, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of donkeys saddled, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, and one hundred clusters of raisins, and one hundred summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.
1In ko je David postopil malo dalje od vrha, glej, Ziba, hlapec Mefibosetov, mu pride naproti z dvema osedlanima osloma in na njiju pelje dvesto hlebov kruha in sto gruč suhih grozdov in stotino posušenih sadov in meh vina.
2The king said to Ziba, What do you mean by these? Ziba said, The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as are faint in the wilderness may drink.
2In kralj vpraša Ziba: Kaj hočeš s tem? In Ziba reče: Osla sta za kraljevo družino, da bo na njiju jezdila, kruh pa in sadje za jed mladeničem, in vino, da bodo pili tisti, ki opešajo v puščavi.
3The king said, “Where is your master’s son?” Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he is staying in Jerusalem; for he said, ‘Today the house of Israel will restore me the kingdom of my father.’”
3In kralj vpraša: Kje pa je tvojega gospodarja sin? In Ziba reče kralju: Glej, ostal je v Jeruzalemu; zakaj dejal je: Danes mi povrne hiša Izraelova mojega očeta kraljestvo.
4Then the king said to Ziba, “Behold, all that pertains to Mephibosheth is yours.” Ziba said, “I do obeisance. Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, O king.”
4Nato veli kralj Zibu: Glej, vse, kar ima Mefiboset, bodi tvoje! In Ziba reče: Poklanjam se! Da najdem milost v tvojih očeh, gospod moj, kralj!
5When king David came to Bahurim, behold, a man of the family of the house of Saul came out, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera. He came out, and cursed still as he came.
5In ko pride kralj David v Bahurim, glej, izide odondod mož iz rodovine hiše Savlove, po imenu Simej, sin Gerov; izide in grede preklinja.
6He cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David, and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
6In kamene je lučal na Davida in na vse hlapce kralja Davida; in vse ljudstvo Davidovo in vsi junaki so mu bili ob desnici in ob levici.
7Shimei said when he cursed, “Be gone, be gone, you man of blood, and base fellow!
7In tako je govoril Simej, ko je preklinjal: Pojdi, pojdi, krvoločnik in mož Belijalov!
8Yahweh has returned on you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned! Yahweh has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son! Behold, you are caught by your own mischief, because you are a man of blood!”
8GOSPOD ti je povrnil vso kri hiše Savlove, na čigar mestu si zakraljeval, in GOSPOD je dal kraljestvo v roko Absalomu, sinu tvojemu, in glej, tičiš v nesreči svoji, ker si krvoločnik.
9Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please let me go over and take off his head.”
9Tedaj reče Abisaj, sin Zervijin, kralju: Zakaj bi smel ta mrtvi pes preklinjati gospoda mojega, kralja? Dovoli, da stopim tja in mu odsekam glavo!
10The king said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Because he curses, and because Yahweh has said to him, ‘Curse David;’ who then shall say, ‘Why have you done so?’”
10Kralj pa reče: Kaj imam z vama opraviti, sinova Zervijina? Ko preklinja in ko mu je rekel GOSPOD: Prekolni Davida! kdo pa sme reči: Zakaj tako delaš?
11David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, “Behold, my son, who came forth from my bowels, seeks my life. How much more this Benjamite, now? Leave him alone, and let him curse; for Yahweh has invited him.
11še reče David Abisaju in vsem hlapcem svojim: Poglej, sin moj, ki je prišel iz osrčja mojega, mi streže po življenju, koliko bolj ta Benjaminec! Pustite ga, naj kolne; zakaj GOSPOD mu je velel.
12It may be that Yahweh will look on the wrong done to me, and that Yahweh will repay me good for the cursing of me today.”
12Morda pogleda GOSPOD mojo revo in mi poplača GOSPOD z dobrim za to, da me kolne danes.
13So David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him, and cursed as he went, threw stones at him, and threw dust.
13Tako je šel David svojim potom z ljudmi svojimi; Simej pa je šel ob strani gore njemu nasproti in je grede preklinjal in lučal kamene na Davida in metal prah.
14The king, and all the people who were with him, came weary; and he refreshed himself there.
14Ko pa je kralj in ves ljud, ki je bil pri njem, dospel utrujen tja, se je okrepčal ondi.
15Absalom, and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
15Absalom pa in vse ljudstvo, vsi možje Izraelovi, so bili prišli v Jeruzalem, in Ahitofel ž njim.
16It happened, when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, had come to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”
16In ko pride Husaj Arkičan, prijatelj Davidov, k Absalomu, reče Absalomu: Živel kralj! Živel kralj!
17Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your kindness to your friend? Why didn’t you go with your friend?”
17Absalom pa reče Husaju: To li je milost tvoja s prijateljem tvojim? Zakaj nisi šel s prijateljem svojim?
18Hushai said to Absalom, “No; but whomever Yahweh, and this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I be, and with him I will stay.
18Husaj pa odgovori Absalomu: Nikar, temuč kogar je izvolil GOSPOD in to ljudstvo in vsi možje Izraelovi, njegov bodem in pri njem ostanem!
19Again, whom should I serve? Shouldn’t I serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father’s presence, so will I be in your presence.”
19In drugič, komu naj bi služil? Ne li pred obličjem sinu njegovega? Kakor sem bil sluga pred očetom tvojim, tako bodem pred teboj.
20Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give your counsel what we shall do.”
20In Absalom veli Ahitofelu: Svetuj, kaj nam je storiti?
21Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to your father’s concubines, that he has left to keep the house. Then all Israel will hear that you are abhorred by your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strong.”
21Ahitofel reče Absalomu: Pojdi k priležnicam očeta svojega, ki jih je pustil, da čuvajo hišo; tako bo ves Izrael slišal, da si se omrzil očetu svojemu, in bodo roke vseh, ki so pri tebi, tem močnejše.
22So they spread Absalom a tent on the top of the house; and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
22Nato razpno Absalomu šator na strehi, in Absalom je šel k priležnicam očeta svojega pred očmi vsega Izraela.Svet Ahitofelov pa, ki ga je dajal v tistem času, je bil, kakor da bi kdo vprašal besedo Božjo: tako se je štelo vse svetovanje Ahitofelovo i pri Davidu i pri Absalomu.
23The counsel of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man inquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
23Svet Ahitofelov pa, ki ga je dajal v tistem času, je bil, kakor da bi kdo vprašal besedo Božjo: tako se je štelo vse svetovanje Ahitofelovo i pri Davidu i pri Absalomu.
