WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 A posle toga nabavi sebi Avesalom kola i konja i pedeset ljudi, koji trčahu pred njim.
1 ACONTECIÓ después de esto, que Absalom se hizo de carros y caballos, y cincuenta hombres que corriesen delante de él.
1 After this, Absalom prepared a chariot and horses for himself, and fifty men to run before him.
2 I ustajaše rano Avesalom, i stajaše kraj puta kod vrata; i ko god imaše parnicu i iđaše caru na sud, Avesalom ga dozivaše k sebi i govoraše: Iz kog si grada? A kad bi onaj odgovorio: Sluga je tvoj iz tog i tog plemena Izrailjevog,
2 Y levantábase Absalom de mañana, y poníase á un lado del camino de la puerta; y á cualquiera que tenía pleito y venía al rey á juicio, Absalom le llamaba á sí, y decíale: ¿De qué ciudad eres? Y él respondía: Tu siervo es de una de las tribus de Israel.
2 Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. 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.”
3 tada bi mu rekao Avesalom: Vidiš, tvoja je stvar dobra i pravedna, ali te nema ko saslušati kod cara.
3 Entonces Absalom le decía: Mira, tus palabras son buenas y justas: mas no tienes quien te oiga por el rey.
3 Absalom said to him, “Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you.”
4 Još govoraše Avesalom: Kad bih ja bio postavljen da sudim u zemlji! Da svaki k meni dolazi koji ima posla na sudu, ja bih mu dao pravicu.
4 Y decía Absalom: ¡Quién me pusiera por juez en la tierra, para que viniesen á mí todos los que tienen pleito ó negocio, que yo les haría justicia!
4 Absalom 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!”
5 I kad bi mu ko pristupio da mu se pokloni, on bi pružio ruku svoju, te bi ga uhvatio i poljubio.
5 Y acontecía que, cuando alguno se llegaba para inclinarse á él, él extendía la mano, y lo tomaba, y lo besaba.
5 It was so, that when any man came near to bow down to him, he stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and kissed him.
6 Tako činjaše Avesalom sa svakim Izrailjcem, koji dolažaše na sud k caru; i Avesalom primamljivaše srca ljudi Izrailjaca.
6 Y de esta manera hacía con todo Israel que venía al rey á juicio: y así robaba Absalom el corazón de los de Israel.
6 Absalom 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.
7 A kad prođe četrdeset godina, reče Avesalom caru: Da otidem u Hevron da izvršim zavet koji sam zavetovao Gospodu.
7 Y al cabo de cuarenta años aconteció que Absalom dijo al rey: Yo te ruego me permitas que vaya á Hebrón, á pagar mi voto que he prometido á Jehová:
7 At the end of forty years, Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to Yahweh, in Hebron.
8 Jer kad seđah u Gesuru u Siriji, učini zavet sluga tvoj rekavši: Ako me Gospod odvede natrag u Jerusalim, poslužiću Gospodu.
8 Porque tu siervo hizo voto cuando estaba en Gessur en Siria, diciendo: Si Jehová me volviere á Jerusalem, yo serviré á Jehová.
8 For 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.’”
9 A car mu reče: Idi s mirom. I on se podiže i otide u Hevron.
9 Y el rey le dijo: Ve en paz. Y él se levantó, y se fué á Hebrón.
9 The king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he arose and went to Hebron.
10 I razasla Avesalom po svim plemenima Izrailjevim uhode poručivši: Kad čujete trube da zatrube, recite: Zacari se Avesalom u Hevronu.
10 Empero envió Absalom espías por todas las tribus de Israel, diciendo: Cuando oyereis el sonido de la trompeta, diréis: Absalom reina en Hebrón.
10 But 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!’”
11 A s Avesalomom otide dvesta ljudi iz Jerusalima pozvanih; ali otidoše u prostoti svojoj ne znajući ništa.
11 Y fueron con Absalom doscientos hombres de Jerusalem [por él] convidados, los cuales iban en su sencillez, sin saber nada.
11 Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they didn’t know anything.
12 A Avesalom posla i po Ahitofela Gilonjanina, savetnika Davidovog, da dođe iz grada svog Gilona, kad prinošaše žrtve. I buna posta jaka, i narod se sve više stecaše k Avesalomu.
12 También envió Absalom por Achitophel Gilonita, del consejo de David, á Gilo su ciudad, mientras hacía sus sacrificios. Y la conjuración vino á ser grande, pues se iba aumentando el pueblo con Absalom.
12 Absalom 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.
13 Tada dođe glasnik k Davidu i reče: Srce Izrailju prista za Avesalomom.
13 Y vino el aviso á David, diciendo: El corazón de todo Israel va tras Absalom.
13 A messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.”
14 A David reče svim slugama svojim koje behu s njim u Jerusalimu: Ustajte, da bežimo; inače nećemo uteći od Avesaloma; brže pohitajte, da ne pohita on i ne stigne nas i obori na nas zlo, i grada ne okrene pod mač.
14 Entonces David dijo á todos sus siervos que estaban con él en Jerusalem: Levantaos y huyamos, porque no podremos escapar delante de Absalom; daos priesa á partir, no sea que apresurándose él nos alcance, y arroje el mal sobre nosotros, y hiera la ciudad á filo de espada.
14 David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise! Let’s flee, or else none of us will escape from Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest he overtake us quickly and bring down evil on us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”
15 A sluge careve rekoše caru: Šta je god volja caru gospodaru našem, evo sluga tvojih.
15 Y los siervos del rey dijeron al rey: He aquí, tus siervos están prestos á todo lo que nuestro señor el rey eligiere.
15 The king’s servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses.”
16 I otide car pešice i sav dom njegov; samo deset žena inoča ostavi car da mu čuvaju kuću.
16 El rey entonces salió, con toda su familia en pos de él. Y dejó el rey diez mujeres concubinas para que guardasen la casa.
16 The king went out, and all his household after him. The king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.
17 I kada otide car i sav narod pešice, ustaviše se na jednom mestu podaleko.
17 Salió pues el rey con todo el pueblo que le seguía, y paráronse en un lugar distante.
17 The king went out, and all the people after him; and they stayed in Beth Merhak.
18 A sve sluge njegove iđahu uza nj, i svi Hereteji i svi Feleteji; i svi Geteji, šest stotina ljudi, koji behu došli peške iz Gata, iđahu pred carem.
18 Y todos sus siervos pasaban á su lado, con todos los Ceretheos y Peletheos; y todos los Getheos, seiscientos hombres que habían venido á pie desde Gath, iban delante del rey.
18 All 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.
19 I reče car Itaju Getejinu: Što i ti ideš s nama? Vrati se i ostani kod cara; jer si stranac i opet ćeš otići u svoje mesto.
19 Y dijo el rey á Ittai Getheo: ¿Para qué vienes tú también con nosotros? vuélvete y quédate con el rey; porque tú eres extranjero, y desterrado también de tu lugar.
19 Then 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.
20 Juče si došao, pa zar danas da te krećem da se potucaš s nama? Ja ću ići kuda mogu, a ti se vrati i odvedi natrag braću svoju. Neka milost i vera bude s tobom.
20 ¿Ayer viniste, y téngote de hacer hoy que mudes lugar para ir con nosotros? Yo voy como voy: tú vuélvete, y haz volver á tus hermanos; en ti haya misericordia y verdad.
20 Whereas you came but yesterday, should I today 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.”
21 A Itaj odgovori caru i reče: Tako živ da je Gospod i tako da je živ car gospodar moj, gde bude car gospodar moj, bilo na smrt ili na život, onde će biti i sluga tvoj.
21 Y respondió Ittai al rey, diciendo: Vive Dios, y vive mi señor el rey, que, ó para muerte ó para vida, donde mi señor el rey estuviere, allí estará también tu siervo.
21 Ittai answered the king and said, “As Yahweh lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king is, whether for death or for life, your servant will be there also.”
22 Tada reče David Itaju: A ti hodi. I tako pođe Itaj Getejin sa svim ljudima svojim i svom decom što behu s njim.
22 Entonces David dijo á Ittai: Ven [pues], y pasa. Y pasó Ittai Getheo, y todos sus hombres, y toda su familia.
22 David 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.
23 I sva zemlja plakaše glasno i sav narod prelažaše. I tako car pređe preko potoka Kedrona, i sav narod pređe idući k pustinji.
23 Y todo el país lloró en alta voz; pasó luego toda la gente el torrente de Cedrón; asimismo pasó el rey, y todo el pueblo pasó, al camino que va al desierto.
23 All 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.
24 A gle, i Sadok beše onde i svi Leviti s njim noseći kovčeg zaveta Božijeg; i spustiše kovčeg Božji, a pođe i Avijatar, dokle sav narod iziđe iz grada.
24 Y he aquí, también [iba] Sadoc, y con él todos los Levitas que llevaban el arca del pacto de Dios; y asentaron el arca del pacto de Dios. Y subió Abiathar después que hubo acabado de salir de la ciudad todo el pueblo.
24 Behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down God’s ark; and Abiathar went up until all the people finished passing out of the city.
25 I reče car Sadoku: Nosi kovčeg Božji natrag u grad; ako nađem milost pred Gospodom, On će me dovesti natrag, i daće mi da opet vidim Njega i dom Njegov.
25 Pero dijo el rey á Sadoc: Vuelve el arca de Dios á la ciudad; que si yo hallare gracia en los ojos de Jehová, él me volverá, y me hará ver á ella y á su tabernáculo:
25 The king said to Zadok, “Carry God’s ark back into the city. If I find favor in Yahweh’s eyes, he will bring me again, and show me both it and his habitation;
26 Ako li ovako kaže: Nisi mi mio; evo me, neka učini sa mnom šta mu bude volja.
26 Y si dijere: No me agradas: aquí estoy, haga de mí lo que bien le pareciere.
26 but if he says, ‘I have no delight in you,’ behold, here I am. Let him do to me as seems good to him.”
27 Još reče car Sadoku svešteniku: Nisi li ti videlac? Vrati se u grad s mirom, i Ahimas sin tvoj i Jonatan sin Avijatarov, dva sina vaša s vama.
27 Dijo aún el rey á Sadoc sacerdote: ¿No eres tú el vidente? Vuélvete en paz á la ciudad; y con vosotros vuestros dos hijos, tu hijo Ahimaas, y Jonathán hijo de Abiathar.
27 The 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.
28 Vidite, ja ću se zabaviti u polju u pustinji dokle ne dođe od vas glasnik da mi javi.
28 Mirad, yo me detendré en los campos del desierto, hasta que venga respuesta de vosotros que me dé aviso.
28 Behold, I will stay at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”
29 I tako Sadok i Avijatar odnesoše kovčeg Božji natrag u Jerusalim, i ostaše onde.
29 Entonces Sadoc y Abiathar volvieron el arca de Dios á Jerusalem; y estuviéronse allá.
29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried God’s ark to Jerusalem again; and they stayed there.
30 A David iđaše uz goru maslinsku, i idući plakaše, i pokrivene glave i bos iđaše; tako i sav narod, koji beše s njim, svaki pokrivene glave iđaše, i idući plakaše.
30 Y David subió la cuesta de las olivas; y subió[la] llorando, llevando la cabeza cubierta, y los pies descalzos. También todo el pueblo que tenía consigo cubrió cada uno su cabeza, y subieron llorando así como subían.
30 David 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. All the people who were with him each covered his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
31 Tada javiše Davidu i rekoše mu. Ahitofel je među onima koji se pobuniše s Avesalomom. A David reče: Razbij nameru Ahitofelovu, Gospode!
31 Y dieron aviso á David, diciendo: Achitophel está entre los que conspiraron con Absalom. Entonces dijo David: Entontece ahora, oh Jehová, el consejo de Achitophel.
31 Someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” David said, “Yahweh, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.”
32 I kad David dođe navrh gore, gde se htede pokloniti Bogu, gle, srete ga Husaj Arhijanin razdrte haljine i glave posute prahom.
32 Y como David llegó á la cumbre [del monte] para adorar allí á Dios, he aquí Husai Arachîta que le salió al encuentro, trayendo rota su ropa, y tierra sobre su cabeza.
32 When David had come to the top, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his tunic torn and earth on his head.
33 I reče mu David: Ako pođeš sa mnom bićeš mi na tegotu.
33 Y díjole David: Si pasares conmigo, serme has de carga;
33 David said to him, “If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;
34 Ali da se vratiš u grad i kažeš Avesalomu: Biću tvoj sluga care! Bio sam dugo sluga tvom ocu, a sada ću tako biti tebi sluga; razbićeš mi nameru Ahitofelovu.
34 Mas si volvieres á la ciudad, y dijeres á Absalom: Rey, yo seré tu siervo; como hasta aquí he sido siervo de tu padre, así seré ahora siervo tuyo, entonces tú me disiparás el consejo de Achitophel.
34 but 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 I will now be your servant; then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.’
35 I sveštenici Sadok i Avijatar neće li biti s tobom? Šta god čuješ iz kuće careve, dokaži Sadoku i Avijataru sveštenicima.
35 ¿No estarán allí contigo Sadoc y Abiathar sacerdotes? Por tanto, todo lo que oyeres en la casa del rey, darás aviso de ello á Sadoc y á Abiathar sacerdotes.
35 Don’t you have Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? Therefore whatever you hear out of the king’s house, tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
36 Eto, onde su s njima dva sina njihova, Ahimas Sadokov i Jonatan Avijatarov, po njima mi javljajte šta god dočujete.
36 Y he aquí que están con ellos sus dos hijos, Ahimaas el de Sadoc, y Jonathán el de Abiathar: por mano de ellos me enviaréis [aviso de] todo lo que oyereis.
36 Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son. Send to me everything that you shall hear by them.”
37 I otide u grad Husaj prijatelj Davidov, i Avesalom dođe u Jerusalim.
37 Así se vino Husai amigo de David á la ciudad; y Absalom entró en Jerusalem.
37 So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.

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).

  1. Quotes verse 15:34–37 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm VII)

    Now the story which gave occasion to this prophecy may be easily recognised in the second book of Kings. For there Chusi, the friend of king David, went over to the side of Abessalon, his son, who was carrying on war against his father, for the purpose of discovering and reporting the designs which he was taking against his father, …
