1 A car David ostare i bi vremenit, i koliko ga pokrivahu haljinama ne mogaše se zagrejati.
1 Now King David was old and advanced in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he couldn’t keep warm.
2 Tada mu rekoše sluge njegove: Neka potraže caru gospodaru našem mladu devojku, pa ona neka stoji pred carem i dvori ga, i na krilu neka mu spava, da se zagreva car, gospodar naš.
2 Therefore his servants said to him, “Let a young virgin be sought for my lord the king. Let her stand before the king, and cherish him; and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may keep warm.”
3 I potražiše lepu devojku po svim krajevima izrailjskim, i nađoše Avisagu Sunamku, te je dovedoše caru.
3 So they sought for a beautiful young lady throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
4 A ta devojka beše vrlo lepa, i dvoraše cara i služaše mu: ali je car ne pozna.
4 The young lady was very beautiful; and she cherished the king, and served him; but the king didn’t know her intimately.
5 A Adonija, sin Agitin podiže se govoreći: Ja ću biti car. I nabavi sebi kola i konjike, i pedeset ljudi koji trčahu pred njim.
5 Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, “I will be king.” Then he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
6 I otac ga nikada ne nakara, niti mu reče: Zašto radiš tako? A on beše vrlo lep, i mati ga rodi iza Avesaloma.
6 His father had not displeased him at any time in saying, “Why have you done so?” and he was also a very handsome man; and he was born after Absalom.
7 I dogovaraše se s Joavom sinom Serujinim i s Avijatarom sveštenikom, koji pomagahu Adoniji.
7 He conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest; and they followed Adonijah and helped him.
8 Ali Sadok sveštenik i Venaja sin Jodajev i Natan prorok i Semaj i Rej i junaci Davidovi ne pristaše za Adonijom.
8 But Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.
9 Tada nakla Adonija ovaca i volova i ugojene stoke kod kamena Zoeleta, koji je kod izvora Rogila, i pozva svu braću svoju, sinove careve, i sve ljude od Jude, sluge careve;
9 Adonijah killed sheep, cattle, and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En Rogel; and he called all his brothers, the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah, the king’s servants;
10 ali ne pozva Natana proroka, ni Venaje, ni ostalih junaka, ni Solomuna brata svog.
10 but he didn’t call Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother.
11 Tada reče Natan Vitsaveji, materi Solomunovoj govoreći: Jesi li čula da se zacario Adonija sin Agitin? A gospodar naš David ne zna.
11 Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, “Haven’t you heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith reigns, and David our lord doesn’t know it?
12 Nego sada hajde, ja ću te savetovati kako ćeš izbaviti dušu svoju i dušu sina svog Solomuna.
12 Now therefore come, please let me give you counsel, that you may save your own life and your son Solomon’s life.
13 Hajde, otidi k caru Davidu i reci mu: Nisi li se ti, gospodaru moj care, zakleo sluškinji svojoj govoreći: Solomun, sin tvoj, biće car posle mene i on će sedeti na prestolu mom? Zašto se dakle zacari Adonija?
13 Go in to King David, and tell him, ‘Didn’t you, my lord the king, swear to your servant, saying, “Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne”? Why then does Adonijah reign?’
14 I gle, dok ti još budeš onde govoreći s carem, ja ću doći za tobom, i dopuniću tvoje reči.
14 Behold, while you are still talking there with the king, I will also come in after you and confirm your words.”
15 I tako uđe Vitsaveja k caru u klet. A car beše vrlo star; i Avisaga Sunamka dvoraše ga.
15 Bathsheba went in to the king in his room. The king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king.
16 I savivši se Vitsaveja pokloni se caru; a car joj reče: Šta ćeš?
16 Bathsheba bowed and showed respect to the king. The king said, “What would you like?”
17 A ona mu reče: Gospodaru moj, ti si se zakleo Gospodom Bogom svojim sluškinji svojoj: Solomun, sin tvoj, biće car posle mene, i on će sedeti na prestolu mom.
17 She said to him, “My lord, you swore by Yahweh your God to your servant, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.’
18 A sad evo Adonija se zacari, a ti, gospodaru moj care, i ne znaš.
18 Now, behold, Adonijah reigns; and you, my lord the king, don’t know it.
19 Naklao je volova i ugojene stoke i ovaca mnogo, i pozvao sve sinove careve, i Avijatara sveštenika i Joava vojvodu; a Solomuna sluge tvog nije pozvao.
19 He has slain cattle and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the sons of the king, Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army; but he hasn’t called Solomon your servant.
20 Sada, care gospodaru moj, oči su svega Izrailja uprte u tebe, da im kažeš ko će sesti na presto tvoj, gospodaru moj care, posle tebe.
20 You, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, that you should tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
21 Inače, kad gospodar moj car počine kod otaca svojih, bićemo ja i sin moj Solomun krivi.
21 Otherwise it will happen, when my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be considered criminals.”
22 I gle, dok ona još govoraše caru, dođe prorok Natan.
22 Behold, while she was still talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
23 I javiše caru govoreći: Evo Natana proroka. I on stupivši pred cara pokloni se caru licem do zemlje.
23 They told the king, saying, “Behold, Nathan the prophet!” When he had come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
24 I reče Natan: Care, gospodaru moj, jesi li ti kazao: Adonija će biti car posle mene, i on će sedeti na prestolu mom?
24 Nathan said, “My lord, King, have you said, ‘Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne’?
25 Jer otide danas i nakla volova i ugojene stoke i ovaca mnogo, i pozva sve sinove careve i vojvode i Avijatara sveštenika; i eno jedu i piju s njim i govore: Da živi car Adonija.
25 For he has gone down today, and has slain cattle, fatlings, and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king’s sons, the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest. Behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’
26 Mene pak, sluge tvog, ne pozva, ni Sadoka sveštenika, ni Venaje sina Jodajevog, ni Solomuna sluge tvog.
26 But he hasn’t called me, even me your servant, Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon.
27 Je li to car gospodar moj naredio? Ne kazavši sluzi svom ko će sesti na presto gospodara mog cara posle njega.
27 Was this thing done by my lord the king, and you haven’t shown to your servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?”
28 A car David odgovori i reče: Zovite mi Vitsaveju. I ona dođe pred cara, i stade pred carem.
28 Then King David answered, “Call Bathsheba in to me.” She came into the king’s presence and stood before the king.
29 Tada se zakle car govoreći: Tako da je živ Gospod, koji je izbavio dušu moju od svake nevolje,
29 The king vowed and said, “As Yahweh lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
30 kako sam ti se zakleo Gospodom Bogom Izrailjevim rekavši: Solomun sin tvoj biće car posle mene, i on će sedeti na prestolu mom mesto mene, tako ću učiniti danas.
30 most certainly as I swore to you by Yahweh, the God of Israel, saying, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place;’ I will most certainly do this today.”
31 Tada Vitsaveja savi se licem do zemlje i pokloni se caru, pa reče: Da živi gospodar moj car David doveka!
31 Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth and showed respect to the king, and said, “Let my lord King David live forever!”
32 Potom reče car David: Zovite mi Sadoka sveštenika i Natana proroka i Venaju, sina Jodajevog. I oni dođoše pred cara.
32 King David said, “Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada.” They came before the king.
33 A car im reče: Uzmite sa sobom sluge gospodara svog, i posadite Solomuna, sina mog, na moju mazgu i i odvedite ga do Giona;
33 The king said to them, “Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon.
34 i neka ga onde Sadok sveštenik i Natan prorok pomažu za cara nad Izrailjem, i zatrubite u trubu i recite: Da živi car Solomun!
34 Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel. Blow the trumpet, and say, ‘Long live King Solomon!’
35 Potom se vratite za njim, i on neka dođe i sedne na presto moj i caruje mesto mene; jer sam njega odredio da bude vođ Izrailju i Judi.
35 Then come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne; for he shall be king in my place. I have appointed him to be prince over Israel and over Judah.”
36 A Venaja, sin Jodajev, odgovori caru i reče: Amin! Neka tako kaže Gospod Bog gospodara mog cara.
36 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, “Amen. May Yahweh, the God of my lord the king, say so.
37 Kako je Gospod bio s gospodarem mojim carem tako neka bude i sa Solomunom, i neka podigne presto njegov još više nego presto gospodara mog, cara Davida.
37 As Yahweh has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David.”
38 I tako otide Sadok sveštenik i Natan prorok i Venaja sin Jodajev i Hereteji i Feleteji, i posadiše Solomuna na mazgu cara Davida i odvedoše ga do Giona.
38 So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David’s mule, and brought him to Gihon.
39 I Sadok sveštenik uze rog s uljem iz šatora, i pomaza Solomuna. Potom zatrubiše u trubu i sav narod reče: Da živi car Solomun!
39 Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the Tent, and anointed Solomon. They blew the trumpet; and all the people said, “Long live King Solomon!”
40 I sav narod pođe za njim, i narod sviraše u svirale i veseljaše se veoma da se zemlja razlegaše od vike njihove.
40 All the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth shook with their sound.
41 I začu Adonija i sve zvanice koje behu s njim, pošto jedoše; začu i Joav glas trubni, pa reče: Kakva je to vika i vreva u gradu?
41 Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they had finished eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, “Why is this noise of the city being in an uproar?”
42 I dokle on još govoraše, gle, dođe Jonatan sin Avijatara sveštenika; i Adonija mu reče: Hodi, jer si junak i nosiš dobre glase.
42 While he yet spoke, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came; and Adonijah said, “Come in; for you are a worthy man, and bring good news.”
43 A Jonatan odgovori i reče Adoniji: Ta, gospodar naš, car David, postavi Solomuna carem.
43 Jonathan answered Adonijah, “Most certainly our lord King David has made Solomon king.
44 Jer car posla s njim Sadoka sveštenika i Natana proroka i Venaju, sina Jodajevog, i Hereteje i Feleteje, i posadiše ga na carevu mazgu.
44 The king has sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they have caused him to ride on the king’s mule.
45 I pomazaše ga Sadok sveštenik i Natan prorok kod Giona za cara, i otidoše odande veseleći se tako da je grad uzavreo; to je vika koju čuste.
45 Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon. They have come up from there rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that you have heard.
46 I Solomun je već seo na carski presto.
46 Also, Solomon sits on the throne of the kingdom.
47 I došle su sluge careve, i blagosloviše gospodara našeg, cara Davida govoreći: Da Bog proslavi ime Solomunovo još većma nego tvoje, i presto njegov da podigne još više nego tvoj. I pokloni se car na postelji svojoj.
47 Moreover the king’s servants came to bless our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and make his throne greater than your throne;’ and the king bowed himself on the bed.
48 Još ovako reče car: Da je blagosloven Gospod Bog Izrailjev, koji dade danas ko će sedeti na prestolu mom, da vide moje oči.
48 Also thus said the king, ‘Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne today, my eyes even seeing it.’”
49 Tada se prepadoše, i ustaše sve zvanice Adonijine, i otidoše svak svojim putem.
49 All the guests of Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and each man went his way.
50 A Adonija bojeći se Solomuna usta i otide, i uhvati se za rogove oltaru.
50 Adonijah was afraid because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and hung onto the horns of the altar.
51 I javiše Solomunu govoreći: Eno, Adonija se uplašio od cara Solomuna, i eno ga, uhvatio se za rogove oltaru, i veli: Neka mu se zakune car Solomun da neće ubiti slugu svog mačem.
51 Solomon was told, “Behold, Adonijah fears King Solomon; for, behold, he is hanging onto the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomon swear to me first that he will not kill his servant with the sword.’”
52 A Solomun reče: Ako bude pošten čovek, ni dlaka s glave njegove neće pasti na zemlju; ali ako se nađe zlo na njemu, poginuće.
52 Solomon said, “If he shows himself a worthy man, not a hair of his shall fall to the earth; but if wickedness is found in him, he shall die.”
53 I tako posla car Solomun, te ga dovedoše od oltara; i kad dođe, pokloni se caru Solomunu; a Solomun mu reče: Idi kući svojoj.
53 So King Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. He came and bowed down to King Solomon; and Solomon said to him, “Go to your house.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
But that you may learn more plainly that even a virgin is called in Holy Scripture a "damsel," hear the Book of the Kings, speaking of Abishag the Shunamite, And the damsel was very fair: for that as a virgin she was chosen and brought to David is admitted.
