Prva knjiga o Kraljevima 2

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Kad su se dani Davidovi približavali svome svršetku, zapovjedi David svome sinu Salomonu:	1 As David's life drew to its close he laid this charge on his son Solomon,
2 »Sada polazim na put sviju smrtnika. Ti budi hrabar i pokaži se čovjekom!	2 'I am going the way of all the earth. Be strong and show yourself 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;	3 Observe the injunctions of Yahweh your God, following his ways and keeping his laws, hiscommandments, his ordinances and his decrees, as stands written in the Law of Moses, so that you may besuccessful in everything you do and undertake,
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.’	4 and that Yahweh may fulfil the promise which he made me, "If your sons are careful how they behave,and walk loyal y before me with all their heart and soul, you wil never want for a man on 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.	5 'You know too what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two commanders of the armyof Israel, Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether; how he murdered them, shedding the blood of war in timeof peace and staining the belt round my waist and the sandals on my feet with the blood of war.
6 Ti postupi po svom razboru i ne daj da mu sijeda kosa mirno počine u podzemlju.	6 You wil be wise not to let his grey head go down to Sheol in peace.
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.	7 As regards the sons of Barzil ai of Gilead, treat them with faithful love, let them be among those who eatat your table, for they were as kind to me when I was fleeing from 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 ususret na Jordan i zakleh mu se Jahvom: ‘Neću te pogubiti mačem.’	8 You also have with you Shimei son of Gera, the Benjaminite from Bahurim. He called down a terriblecurse on me the day I left for Mahanaim, but he came down to meet me at the Jordan and I swore to him byYahweh that I would not put him to death.
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.«	9 But you, you must not let him go unpunished; you are a wise man and wil know how to deal with him, tobring his grey head down to Sheol in blood.'
10 I potom počinu David kraj otaca svojih i bî pokopan u Davidovu gradu.	10 So David fell asleep with his ancestors and was 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.	11 David was king of Israel for a period of forty years: he reigned at Hebron for seven years, and inJerusalem for thirty-three.
12 Salomon sjede na prijestolje Davida, svoga oca, i njegova se vlast veoma učvrsti.	12 Solomon then sat on the throne of David, and his sovereignty was securely established.
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.«	13 Adonijah son of Haggith went to Bathsheba mother of Solomon. 'Do you bring peace?' she asked. Hereplied, 'Yes, peace.'
14 I nastavi: »Imam ti nešto reći.« Ona reče: »Govori.«	14 Then he said, 'I have something to say to you.' 'Say on,' she replied.
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.	15 'You know', he said, 'that the kingdom should have come to me, and that al Israel expected me to beking; but the crown eluded me and fell to my brother, since it came to him from Yahweh.
16 Ja te sada samo jedno molim: nemoj me odbiti.« Ona reče: »Govori.«	16 Now I have one request to make you; do not refuse me.' 'Go on,' she said.
17 A on nastavi: »Reci, molim te, kralju Salomonu – jer tebe neće odbiti – neka mi dade za ženu Abišagu Šunamku!«	17 He went on, 'Please ask King Solomon -- for he wil not refuse you -- to give me Abishag of Shunem inmarriage.'
18 A Bat-Šeba odgovori: »Dobro, govorit ću kralju o tebi.«	18 'Very wel ,' Bathsheba replied, 'I shal speak to the king about you.'
19 Kada, dakle, uđe Bat-Šeba kralju Salomonu da govori o Adoniji, ustade kralj i pođe joj ususret, pokloni se pred njom, zatim sjede na svoje prijestolje i zapovjedi te namjestiše sjedalicu za kraljicu majku, i ona mu sjede s desne strane.	19 So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him about Adonijah; the king got up to meet her andbowed before her; he then sat down on his throne; a seat was brought for the king's mother, and she sat downon his right.
20 Tada mu reče: »Nešto bih zaiskala od tebe, nemoj me odbiti.« Kralj joj odgovori: »Traži, majko, jer te neću odbiti.«	20 She said, 'I have one smal request to make you; do not refuse me.' 'Mother,' the king replied, 'makeyour request, for I shal not refuse you.'
21 Ona nastavi: »Neka se dade Abišaga Šunamka tvome bratu Adoniji za ženu.«	21 'Let Abishag of Shunem', she said, 'be given in marriage to your brother Adonijah.'
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!«	22 King Solomon replied to his mother, 'And why do you request Abishag of Shunem for Adonijah? Youmight as wel request the kingdom for him, since he is my elder brother and Abiathar the priest and Joab son ofZeruiah are on his side.'
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!	23 And King Solomon swore by Yahweh: 'May God bring unnameable il s on me, and worse ills, too,' hesaid, 'if Adonijah does not pay for these words of his with his life!
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.«	24 As Yahweh lives who has set me securely on the throne of my father David, and who, as he promised,has given him a dynasty, Adonijah shal be put to death this very day.'
25 I kralj Salomon posla Benaju, sina Jojadina, koji ga udari te Adonija umrije.	25 And King Solomon commissioned Benaiah son of Jehoiada to strike him down, and that was how hedied.
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.«	26 As for Abiathar the priest, the king said to him, 'Go to Anathoth to your estate. You deserve to die, but Iam not going to put you to death now, since you carried the ark of Yahweh in the presence of my father Davidand shared al my father's hardships.'
27 I Salomon isključi Ebjatara iz svećenstva Jahvina da tako ispuni Jahvinu riječ koju je izrekao protiv doma Elijeva u Šilu.	27 Solomon deprived Abiathar of the priesthood of Yahweh, thus fulfil ing the prophecy which Yahweh haduttered against the House of Eli at 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.	28 When the news reached Joab -- for Joab had lent his support to Adonijah, though he had notsupported Absalom -- he fled to the Tent of Yahweh and clung to 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!«	29 King Solomon was told, 'Joab has fled to the Tent of Yahweh; he is there beside the altar.' On this,Solomon sent word to Joab, 'What reason did you have for fleeing to the altar?' Joab replied, 'I was afraid of youand fled to Yahweh.' Solomon then sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada. 'Go', he said, 'and strike him down.'
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.«	30 Accordingly Benaiah went to the Tent of Yahweh. 'By order of the king,' he said, 'come out!' 'No,' hesaid, 'I will die here.' So Benaiah brought word back to the king, 'This is what Joab said, and the answer he gaveme.'
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.	31 'Do as he says,' the king replied. 'Strike him down and bury him, and so rid me and my family today ofthe innocent blood which Joab has shed.
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.	32 Yahweh wil bring his blood down on his own head, because he struck down two more upright andbetter men than he, and, without my father David's knowledge, put to the sword Abner son of Ner, commander ofthe army of Israel, and Amasa son of Jether, commander of the army 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.«	33 May their blood come down on the head of Joab and his descendants for ever, but may David, hisdescendants, his dynasty, his throne, have peace for ever from Yahweh.'
34 I ode Benaja, sin Jojadin, obori se na Joaba i usmrti ga. Pokopali su Joaba u njegovu domu u pustinji.	34 Whereupon Benaiah son of Jehoiada went out, struck Joab down and put him to death; he was buriedat his home in the desert.
35 Mjesto njega postavi kralj na čelo vojske Benaju, sina Jojadina, a na mjesto Ebjatara postavi svećenika Sadoka.	35 In his place as head of the army the king appointed Benaiah son of Jehoiada and, in place of Abiathar,the priest Zadok.
36 Salomon pozva Šimeja i reče mu: »Sagradi sebi kuću u Jeruzalemu: tu stanuj, i nikamo odatle ne izlazi.	36 The king had Shimei summoned to him. 'Build yourself a house in Jerusalem,' he told him. 'You are tolive there; do not leave it to go anywhere at all.
37 Onoga dana kad iziđeš i prijeđeš potok Kidron, znaj dobro da ćeš umrijeti. Krv tvoja na glavu tvoju.«	37 The day you go out and cross the ravine of the Kidron, be sure you wil certainly die. Your blood wil beon your own head.'
38 Šimej odgovori kralju: »Dobro. Kako moj gospodar kralj kaže, tako će učiniti sluga tvoj.« I Šimej dugo življaše u Jeruzalemu.	38 'That is a fair demand,' Shimei replied to the king, 'your servant wil do as my lord the king orders.' Andfor a long time Shimei lived in Jerusalem.
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.«	39 But when three years had gone by, it happened that two of Shimei's slaves ran away to Achish son ofMaacah, king of Gath; Shimei was told, 'Your slaves 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.	40 On this, Shimei got up and saddled his donkey and went to Akish at Gath to find his slaves. He went offand brought his slaves back from Gath.
41 I javiše Salomonu: »Šimej otišao iz Jeruzalema u Gat i vratio se.«	41 Solomon was informed that Shimei had left Jerusalem for Gath and come back again.
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.’	42 The king had Shimei summoned to him. 'Did I not make you swear by Yahweh,' he said, 'and did I notwarn you, "The day you leave to go anywhere at all, be sure you wil certainly die"? To which you replied, "That is a fair demand."
43 Zašto nisi održao zakletvu Jahvinu i zapovijed koju sam ti dao?«	43 Why did you not keep the oath to Yahweh and the order which I imposed 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.	44 The king then said to Shimei, 'You know wel al the evil you did to my father David. Yahweh is about tobring your wickedness down on your own head.
45 A blagoslovljen je kralj Salomon, i prijestolje će Davidovo biti čvrsto pred Jahvom dovijeka.«	45 But may King Solomon be blessed, and may the throne of David be kept secure before Yahweh forever!'
46 I zapovjedi kralj Benaji, sinu Jojadinu, te on iziđe i udari Šimeja i tako Šimej umrije. Tako se učvrstilo kraljevstvo u ruci Salomonovoj.	46 The king gave orders to Benaiah son of Jehoiada; he went out and struck Shimei down; and that washow he died. And now the kingdom was securely in Solomon's hands.
