I Samuel 25

And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

Uto umrije Samuel. Sav se Izrael skupi i oplaka ga naričući za njim; i pokopaše ga u njegovu zavičaju u Rami. A David usta i siđe u pustinju Paran.

And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

U Maonu živio čovjek koji je imao svoje gospodarstvo u Karmelu; bio je to vrlo bogat čovjek, imao je tri tisuće ovaca i tisuću koza. Upravo je tada strigao svoje ovce u Karmelu.

Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.

Taj se čovjek zvao Nabal, a njegova žena Abigajila. Žena je bila mudra i vrlo lijepa, a čovjek surov i opak: bio je Kalebovac.

And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep.

David je u pustinji čuo da Nabal striže svoje ovce.

And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:

Stoga posla deset momaka naloživši im: "Idite gore u Karmel, otiđite k Nabalu i pozdravite ga u moje ime.

And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast.

I recite ovako mome bratu: 'Mir tebi, mir tvome domu, mir svemu što imaš!

And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.

Sada, čujem, strižeš ovce. A tvoji su pastiri bili kod nas, nismo ih dirali, ništa im nije nestalo dokle god su bili u Karmelu.

Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.

Pitaj svoje sluge i kazat će ti. Zato neka ovi momci nađu milost pred tobom, jer smo došli u svečan dan. Podaj svojim slugama i svome sinu Davidu što ti se nađe pri ruci.'"

And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.

Dođoše momci Davidovi i ponoviše Nabalu u Davidovo ime sve ove riječi, a onda pričekaše.

And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master.

Ali Nabal odgovori Davidovim slugama ovako: "Tko je David, tko je Jišajev sin? Danas ima mnogo slugu koji su pobjegli od svojih gospodara.

Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be?

Zar da uzmem svoj kruh, svoju vodu, svoju stoku koju sam poklao za svoje strigače pa da to poklonim ljudima o kojima ne znam ni odakle su?"

So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings.

Davidovi se momci okrenuše i vratiše se svojim putem. Kad su se vratili, javiše sve ove riječi Davidu.

And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff.

A David reče svojim ljudima: "Pripašite svaki svoj mač!" I pripasaše svaki svoj mač, i David pripasa svoj, i oko četiri stotine ljudi krenu za Davidom, dok ih dvije stotine osta kod tovara.

But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them.

A ženi Nabalovoj, Abigajili, javio jedan od Nabalovih slugu ovo: "Eto, David je poslao iz pustinje glasnike da pozdrave našega gospodara, a on ih potjerao.

But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:

A ti su ljudi bili vrlo dobri prema nama: nisu nas dirali, ništa nismo izgubili dokle god smo bili u njihovoj blizini kad smo bili u polju.

They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

Noću i danju bili su nam kao bedem u sve vrijeme dok smo bili s njima pasući stada.

Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.

Razmisli sada i vidi što ćeš učiniti, jer je gotova pogibija našem gospodaru i svemu njegovu domu; a on je opak čovjek komu se ne može ništa kazati."

Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.

Abigajila brzo uze dvije stotine hljebova, dva mijeha vina, pet zgotovljenih ovaca, pet mjera pržena žita, sto grozdova suhoga grožđa, dvije stotine smokovih kolača i sve to natovari na magarce.

And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.

I zapovjedi svojim slugama: "Idite preda mnom, a ja ću za vama." Svome mužu Nabalu nije kazala ništa.

And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them.

Dok je, jašući na magarcu, silazila iza gorskog zavoja, David je sa svojim ljudima silazio nasuprot njoj, tako da se ona susrela s njima.

Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requited me evil for good.

A David je upravo mislio: "Uzalud sam, dakle, zaštićivao u pustinji sve što je taj čovjek imao i ništa mu nije nestalo od svega što je posjedovao! Sada mi vraća zlo za dobro!

So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.

Neka Bog učini Davidu ovo zlo i neka mu doda drugo ako Nabalu do zore od svega što ima ostavim i ono što mokri uza zid!"

And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,

Kad je Abigajila ugledala Davida, brzo sjaha s magarca i pade pred Davida ničice, poklonivši se do zemlje.

And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid.

Bacivši mu se tako pred noge, reče: "Gospodaru, neka na mene padne krivica! Dopusti da službenica tvoja progovori tvojim ušima i udostoj se poslušati riječi službenice svoje!

Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.

Neka moj gospodar ne gleda na toga opakog čovjeka, na Nabala, jer on s pravom nosi svoje ime: zove se Luda i ludost je s njim. A ja, službenica tvoja, nisam vidjela momaka koje je poslao moj gospodar.

Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

Zato sada, gospodaru, živoga mi Jahve, i tako živ bio ti, i tako ti Jahve koji te očuvao da ne svališ na se krvnu krivicu i da ne pribaviš sebi pravdu svojom rukom: neka prođu kao Nabal tvoji neprijatelji i oni koji snuju zlo mome gospodaru!

And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord.

A ovaj dar, što ga evo tvoja službenica nosi svome gospodaru, neka se dade momcima koji idu za mojim gospodarom na njegovim putovima.

I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days.

Oprosti službenici svojoj njezinu krivnju! Zacijelo će Jahve osnovati trajan dom mome gospodaru, jer moj gospodar bije Jahvine bojeve i za svega tvoga života neće se naći zlo na tebi.

Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling.

Ako se tko digne da te progoni i da ti radi o glavi, neka život moga gospodara bude pohranjen u škrinji života kod Jahve, tvoga Boga, a život tvojih neprijatelja neka on baci kao iz praćke.

And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;

I kad Jahve učini mome gospodaru svako dobro koje ti je obećao i kad te odredi da budeš knezom nad Izraelom,

That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid.

onda neka ne bude na smutnju ni na grižnju savjesti mome gospodaru da je ni za što prolio krv i da je sebi pribavio pravdu svojoj rukom. I kad Jahve učini dobro mome gospodaru, sjeti se tada službenice svoje!"

And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me:

David odgovori Abigajili: "Neka je blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, koji te danas poslao meni u susret!

And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.

Neka je blagoslovljena tvoja mudrost i blagoslovljena bila ti što si me danas zadržala da ne svalim na se krvnu krivicu i da ne pribavim sebi pravdu svojom rukom.

For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.

Ali, tako mi živog Jahve, Boga Izraelova, koji nije dopustio da ti učinim zlo: da mi nisi tako brzo izišla u susret, zaista ne bi Nabalu do jutra ostalo ni ono što uza zid mokri!"

So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.

Nato David primi iz njezine ruke što mu bijaše donijela i reče joj: "Vrati se s mirom svojoj kući. Gle, uslišao sam tvoj glas i obazreo se na tebe."

And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

Kad se Abigajila vratila k Nabalu, on je upravo imao gozbu u kući, pravu kraljevsku gozbu: Nabal bijaše veseo i sasvim pijan; zato mu ona ne reče ništa dok nije svanulo jutro.

But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

A ujutro, kad se Nabal otrijeznio, pripovjedi mu njegova žena sve što se dogodilo, a njemu obamrije srce u grudima i on osta kao da se skamenio.

And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died.

A desetak dana poslije toga Jahve udari Nabala te umrije.

And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife.

Kad David ču da je umro Nabal, reče: "Neka je blagoslovljen Jahve, koji mi je ispravio nepravdu što mi je učini Nabal; i Jahve je očuvao svoga slugu da ne učini zla, a svalio je Nabalovu zloću na njegovu glavu!" Potom David posla poruku Abigajili da će je uzeti za ženu.

And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife.

Davidove sluge dođoše k Abigajili u Karmel i rekoše joj: "David nas je poslao k tebi da te uzme sebi za ženu."

And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.

A ona ustade, pokloni se do zemlje i reče: "Evo službenice tvoje koja je spremna da bude robinja i da pere noge slugama svoga gospodara!"

And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

Potom Abigajila brzo ustade i zajaha na magarca, a za njom pođe pet njezinih dvorkinja. Tako je otišla za Davidovim poslanicima i postala njegovom ženom.

David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives.

I Ahinoamom iz Jizreela bijaše se oženio David i obje mu bjehu žene.

But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which was of Gallim.

Jer Šaul bijaše svoju kćer Mikalu, Davidovu ženu, dao Paltiju, sinu Lajiša iz Galima.
