1 А после тога набави себи Авесалом кола и коња и педесет људи, који трчаху пред њим.
1 After this, Absalom prepared a chariot and horses for himself, and fifty men to run before him.
2 И устајаше рано Авесалом, и стајаше крај пута код врата; и ко год имаше парницу и иђаше цару на суд, Авесалом га дозиваше к себи и говораше: Из ког си града? А кад би онај одговорио: Слуга је твој из тог и тог племена Израиљевог,
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 тада би му рекао Авесалом: Видиш, твоја је ствар добра и праведна, али те нема ко саслушати код цара.
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 Још говораше Авесалом: Кад бих ја био постављен да судим у земљи! Да сваки к мени долази који има посла на суду, ја бих му дао правицу.
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 И кад би му ко приступио да му се поклони, он би пружио руку своју, те би га ухватио и пољубио.
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 Тако чињаше Авесалом са сваким Израиљцем, који долажаше на суд к цару; и Авесалом примамљиваше срца људи Израиљаца.
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 А кад прође четрдесет година, рече Авесалом цару: Да отидем у Хеврон да извршим завет који сам заветовао Господу.
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 Јер кад сеђах у Гесуру у Сирији, учини завет слуга твој рекавши: Ако ме Господ одведе натраг у Јерусалим, послужићу Господу.
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 А цар му рече: Иди с миром. И он се подиже и отиде у Хеврон.
9 The king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he arose and went to Hebron.
10 И разасла Авесалом по свим племенима Израиљевим уходе поручивши: Кад чујете трубе да затрубе, реците: Зацари се Авесалом у Хеврону.
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 А с Авесаломом отиде двеста људи из Јерусалима позваних; али отидоше у простоти својој не знајући ништа.
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 А Авесалом посла и по Ахитофела Гилоњанина, саветника Давидовог, да дође из града свог Гилона, кад приношаше жртве. И буна поста јака, и народ се све више стецаше к Авесалому.
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 Тада дође гласник к Давиду и рече: Срце Израиљу приста за Авесаломом.
13 A messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.”
14 А Давид рече свим слугама својим које беху с њим у Јерусалиму: Устајте, да бежимо; иначе нећемо утећи од Авесалома; брже похитајте, да не похита он и не стигне нас и обори на нас зло, и града не окрене под мач.
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 А слуге цареве рекоше цару: Шта је год воља цару господару нашем, ево слуга твојих.
15 The king’s servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses.”
16 И отиде цар пешице и сав дом његов; само десет жена иноча остави цар да му чувају кућу.
16 The king went out, and all his household after him. The king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.
17 И када отиде цар и сав народ пешице, уставише се на једном месту подалеко.
17 The king went out, and all the people after him; and they stayed in Beth Merhak.
18 А све слуге његове иђаху уза њ, и сви Херетеји и сви Фелетеји; и сви Гетеји, шест стотина људи, који беху дошли пешке из Гата, иђаху пред царем.
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 И рече цар Итају Гетејину: Што и ти идеш с нама? Врати се и остани код цара; јер си странац и опет ћеш отићи у своје место.
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 Јуче си дошао, па зар данас да те крећем да се потуцаш с нама? Ја ћу ићи куда могу, а ти се врати и одведи натраг браћу своју. Нека милост и вера буде с тобом.
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 А Итај одговори цару и рече: Тако жив да је Господ и тако да је жив цар господар мој, где буде цар господар мој, било на смрт или на живот, онде ће бити и слуга твој.
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 Тада рече Давид Итају: А ти ходи. И тако пође Итај Гетејин са свим људима својим и свом децом што беху с њим.
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 И сва земља плакаше гласно и сав народ прелажаше. И тако цар пређе преко потока Кедрона, и сав народ пређе идући к пустињи.
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 А гле, и Садок беше онде и сви Левити с њим носећи ковчег завета Божијег; и спустише ковчег Божји, а пође и Авијатар, докле сав народ изиђе из града.
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 И рече цар Садоку: Носи ковчег Божји натраг у град; ако нађем милост пред Господом, Он ће ме довести натраг, и даће ми да опет видим Њега и дом Његов.
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 Ако ли овако каже: Ниси ми мио; ево ме, нека учини са мном шта му буде воља.
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 Још рече цар Садоку свештенику: Ниси ли ти виделац? Врати се у град с миром, и Ахимас син твој и Јонатан син Авијатаров, два сина ваша с вама.
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 Видите, ја ћу се забавити у пољу у пустињи докле не дође од вас гласник да ми јави.
28 Behold, I will stay at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”
29 И тако Садок и Авијатар однесоше ковчег Божји натраг у Јерусалим, и осташе онде.
29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried God’s ark to Jerusalem again; and they stayed there.
30 А Давид иђаше уз гору маслинску, и идући плакаше, и покривене главе и бос иђаше; тако и сав народ, који беше с њим, сваки покривене главе иђаше, и идући плакаше.
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 Тада јавише Давиду и рекоше му. Ахитофел је међу онима који се побунише с Авесаломом. А Давид рече: Разбиј намеру Ахитофелову, Господе!
31 Someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” David said, “Yahweh, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.”
32 И кад Давид дође наврх горе, где се хтеде поклонити Богу, гле, срете га Хусај Архијанин раздрте хаљине и главе посуте прахом.
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 И рече му Давид: Ако пођеш са мном бићеш ми на теготу.
33 David said to him, “If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;
34 Али да се вратиш у град и кажеш Авесалому: Бићу твој слуга царе! Био сам дуго слуга твом оцу, а сада ћу тако бити теби слуга; разбићеш ми намеру Ахитофелову.
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 И свештеници Садок и Авијатар неће ли бити с тобом? Шта год чујеш из куће цареве, докажи Садоку и Авијатару свештеницима.
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 Ето, онде су с њима два сина њихова, Ахимас Садоков и Јонатан Авијатаров, по њима ми јављајте шта год дочујете.
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 И отиде у град Хусај пријатељ Давидов, и Авесалом дође у Јерусалим.
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).
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, …
