2 Samuelova 3
1 Rat između Šaulove kuće i Davidove kuće potrajao je još dugo vremena, ali je David sve više jačao, a Šaulova kuća postajala sve slabija.
And the war is long between the house of Saul and the house of David, and David is going on and [is] strong, and the house of Saul are going on and [are] weak.
2 Davidu se rodiše sinovi u Hebronu. Prvenac mu je bio Amnon, od Ahinoame Jizreelke;
And there are born to David sons in Hebron, and his first-born is Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess,
3 drugi mu je bio Kileab, od Abigajile, žene Nabalove iz Karmela; treći Abšalom, sin Maake, kćeri gešurskoga kralja Tolmaja;
and his second [is] Chileab, of Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelite, and the third [is] Absalom son of Maacah daughter of Talmai king of Geshur,
4 četvrti Adonija, sin Hagitin; peti Šefatja, sim Abitalin;
and the fourth [is] Adonijah son of Haggith, and the fifth [is] Shephatiah son of Abital,
5 šesti Jitream, od Egle, Davidove žene. Ti se Davidu rodiše u Hebronu.
and the sixth [is] Ithream, of Eglah wife of David; these have been born to David in Hebron.
6 Dok je trajao rat između Šaulove kuće i Davidove kuće, Abner je malo-pomalo prisvajao svu vlast u Šaulovoj kući.
And it cometh to pass, in the war being between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner hath been strengthening himself in the house of Saul,
7 A u kući bijaše Šaulova inoča po imenu Rispa, kći Ajina: nju Abner uze sebi. A Išbaal upita Abnera: “Zašto si se približio inoči moga oca?”
and Saul hath a concubine, and her name [is] Rizpah daughter of Aiah, and [Ish-Bosheth] saith unto Abner, 'Wherefore hast thou gone in unto the concubine of my father?'
8 Na te Išbaalove riječi Abner se razgnjevi i reče: “Zar sam ja pasja glava u Judi? Do danas sam samo dobro činio domu tvoga oca Šaula, njegovoj braći i njegovim prijateljima; nisam dopustio da padneš u Davidove ruke, a ti me danas prekoravaš zbog obične žene!
And it is displeasing to Abner exceedingly, because of the words of Ish-Bosheth, and he saith, 'The head of a dog [am] I — that in reference to Judah to-day I do kindness with the house of Saul thy father, unto his brethren, and unto his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David — that thou chargest against me iniquity concerning the woman to-day?
9 Neka Abneru Bog učini ovo zlo i neka mu doda drugo ako ne izvršim kako se Jahve zakleo Davidu:
thus doth God to Abner, and thus He doth add to him, surely as Jehovah hath sworn to David — surely so I do to him:
10 da će oduzeti kraljevstvo Šaulovoj kući i da će utvrditi Davidov prijesto nad Izraelom i nad Judom od Dana pa do Beer Šebe!”
to cause the kingdom to pass over from the house of Saul, and to raise up the throne of David over Israel, and over Judah, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba.'
11 Išbaal se ne usudi odgovoriti ni riječi Abneru jer ga se bojaše.
And he is not able any more to turn back Abner a word, because of his fearing him.
12 Nato Abner posla glasnike k Davidu i poruči mu: “Čija je zemlja?” Htio je reći: “Učini savez sa mnom i moja će ti ruka pomoći da okupiš oko sebe svega Izraela.”
And Abner sendeth messengers unto David for himself, saying, 'Whose [is] the land?' saying, 'Make thy covenant with me, and lo, my hand [is] with thee, to bring round unto thee all Israel.'
13 David odgovori Abneru: “Dobro! Učinit ću savez s tobom! Ali samo jedno tražim od tebe: ne smiješ mi doći na oči ako ne dovedeš sa sobom Mikalu, Šaulovu kćer, kad dođeš da vidiš moje lice.”
And he saith, 'Good — I make with thee a covenant; only, one thing I am asking of thee, that is, Thou dost not see my face, except thou dost first bring in Michal, daughter of Saul in thy coming into see my face.'
14 Ujedno posla David glasnike i k Išbaalu, Šaulovu sinu, s porukom: “Vrati mi moju ženu Mikalu, koju sam stekao stotinom filistejskih obrezaka.”
And David sendeth messengers unto Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, saying, 'Give up my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself with a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.'
15 Išbaal posla po nju i uze je od njezina muža Paltiela, Lajiševa sina.
And Ish-Bosheth sendeth, and taketh her from a man, from Phaltiel son of Laish,
16 A njezin muž pođe s njom i pratio ju je plačući sve do Bahurima. Tada mu Abner reče: “Hajde, vrati se sada kući!” I on se vrati.
and her husband goeth with her, going on and weeping behind her, unto Bahurim, and Abner saith unto him, 'Go, turn back;' and he turneth back.
17 Abner je već bio razgovarao s Izraelovim starješinama i rekao im: “Već odavna želite Davida za svoga kralja.
And the word of Abner was with the elders of Israel, saying, 'Heretofore ye have been seeking David for king over you,
18 Učinite to sada, jer je Jahve rekao o Davidu ovo: 'Rukom svoga sluge Davida izbavit ću svoj narod Izraela iz ruke filistejske i iz ruku svih njegovih neprijatelja.'”
and now, do [it], for Jehovah hath spoken of David saying, By the hand of David my servant — to save My people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.'
19 Tako je Abner govorio i Benjaminovim sinovima, a onda je otišao u Hebron da javi Davidu sve što se svidjelo Izraelu i domu Benjaminovu.
And Abner speaketh also in the ears of Benjamin, and Abner goeth also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that [is] good in the eyes of Israel, and in the eyes of all the house of Benjamin,
20 Kad je Abner došao k Davidu u Hebron, i s njim dvadeset ljudi, David priredi gozbu Abneru i ljudima koji bijahu s njim.
and Abner cometh in unto David, to Hebron, and with him twenty men, and David maketh for Abner, and for the men who [are] with him, a banquet.
21 Tada Abner reče Davidu: “Hajdemo! Ja ću skupiti svega Izraela oko gospodara moga kralja: oni će sklopiti s tobom savez i ti ćeš kraljevati nad svim što budeš želio.” David otpusti Abnera, koji ode u miru.
And Abner saith unto David, 'I arise, and go, and gather unto my lord the king the whole of Israel, and they make with thee a covenant, and thou hast reigned over all that thy soul desireth;' and David sendeth away Abner, and he goeth in peace.
22 I gle, Davidovi se ljudi s Joabom upravo vraćali sa četovanja, noseći sa sobom bogat plijen, a Abner nije više bio kod Davida u Hebronu, jer ga David bijaše otpustio te je on otišao u miru.
And lo, the servants of David, and Joab, have come from the troop, and much spoil have brought with them, and Abner is not with David in Hebron, for he hath sent him away, and he goeth in peace;
23 Kad stiže Joab i sva vojska što je išla s njim, javiše Joabu da je Abner, Nerov sin, bio došao kralju i da ga je kralj otpustio da ode u miru.
and Joab and all the host that [is] with him have come, and they declare to Joab, saying, 'Abner son of Ner hath come unto the king, and he sendeth him away, and he goeth in peace.'
24 Tada Joab dođe kralju i reče mu: “Što si učinio? Abner je došao k tebi, zašto si ga otpustio da ode u miru?
And Joab cometh unto the king, and saith, 'What hast thou done? lo, Abner hath come unto thee! why [is] this — thou hast sent him away, and he is really gone?
25 Zar ne znaš Abnera, Nerova sina? Došao je da te prevari, da dozna tvoje korake, da dozna sve što činiš!”
Thou hast known Abner son of Ner, that to deceive thee he came, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou art doing.'
26 Potom izađe Joab od Davida i posla glasnike za Abnerom, koji ga vratiše, od studenca Sire, a David nije znao ništa o tome.
And Joab goeth out from David, and sendeth messengers after Abner, and they bring him back from the well of Sirah, and David knew not.
27 Kad se Abner vratio u Hebron, odvede ga Joab u stranu iza vrata, kao da želi s njim nesmetano govoriti, i ondje ga smrtno rani u slabine da se osveti za krv svoga brata Asahela.
And Abner turneth back to Hebron, and Joab turneth him aside unto the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and smiteth him there in the fifth [rib] — and he dieth — for the blood of Asahel his brother.
28 Kad je David to poslije čuo, reče: “Ja i moje kraljevstvo nevini smo pred Jahvom dovijeka za krv Abnera, sina Nerova.
And David heareth afterwards and saith, 'Acquitted [am] I, and my kingdom, by Jehovah, unto the age, from the blood of Abner son of Ner;
29 Neka padne na Joabovu glavu i na sav njegov očinski dom! Nikad ne ponestalo u Joabovu domu ljudi bolesnih od gnojenja ili od gube, ljudi koji se laćaju vretena ili padaju od mača, ljudi koji nemaju kruha!” -
it doth stay on the head of Joab, and on all the house of his father, and there is not cut off from the house of Joab one having an issue, and leprous, and laying hold on a staff, and falling by a sword, and lacking bread.'
30 Joab i njegov brat Abišaj ubili su Abnera jer je on pogubio njihova brata Asahela u boju kod Gibeona. -
And Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner because that he put to death Asahel their brother, in Gibeon, in battle.
31 Nato David reče Joabu i svoj vojsci koja je bila s njim: “Razderite svoje haljine, obucite kostrijet i naričite za Abnerom!” I kralj David pođe za nosilima.
And David saith unto Joab, and unto all the people who [are] with him, 'Rend your garments, and gird on sackcloth, and mourn before Abner;' and king David is going after the bier.
32 Kad su ukopali Abnera u Hebronu, udari kralj u glasan plač na grobu Abnerovu, a plakao je i sav narod.
And they bury Abner in Hebron, and the king lifteth up his voice, and weepeth at the grave of Abner, and all the people weep;
33 Tada kralj ispjeva ovu tužaljku za Abnerom: “Zar morade umrijeti Abner kako umire luda?
and the king lamenteth for Abner, and saith: — 'As the death of a fool doth Abner die?
34 Ruke tvoje ne bijahu vezane, noge tvoje ne bijahu okovane. Pao si kao što se pada od zlikovaca!” Tada sav narod još ljuće zaplaka za njim.
Thy hands not bound, And thy feet to fetters not brought nigh! As one falling before sons of evil — Thou hast fallen!' and all the people add to weep over him.
35 Nato pristupi sav narod nutkajući Davida da jede dok je još dana, ali se David zakle ovako: “Neka mi Bog učini ovo zlo i neka mi doda drugo zlo ako okusim kruha ili što drugo prije zalaska sunca!”
And all the people come to cause David to eat bread while yet day, and David sweareth, saying, 'Thus doth God to me, and thus He doth add, for — before the going in of the sun, I taste no bread or any other thing.'
36 Sav je narod to čuo, i bilo mu je po volji, kao što je narod i sve drugo odobravao što god je kralj činio.
And all the people have discerned [it], and it is good in their eyes, as all that the king hath done is good in the eyes of all the people;
37 Toga dana sav narod i sav Izrael spozna da kralj nije kriv u umorstvu Abnera, sina Nerova.
and all the people know, even all Israel, in that day, that it hath not been from the king — to put to death Abner son of Ner.
38 Nato kralj reče svojim dvoranima: “Ne znate li da je danas pao knez i velik čovjek u Izraelu?
And the king saith unto his servants, 'Do ye not know that a prince and a great one hath fallen this day in Israel?
39 Ali ja sam sada još slab, iako sam pomazani kralj, a ovi ljudi, Sarvijini sinovi, jači su od mene. Neka Jahve plati zločincu po njegovoj zloći!”
and I to-day [am] tender, and an anointed king: and these men, sons of Zeruiah, [are] too hard for me; Jehovah doth recompense to the doer of the evil according to his evil.'
