2 Samuelova 20

1 Přišel pak tu náhodou člověk nešlechetný, jehož jméno bylo Seba, syn Bichri, muž Jemini. Ten zatroubil v troubu a řekl: Nemámeť my dílu v Davidovi, ani dědictví v synu Izai; obrať se jeden každý k stanům svým, ó Izraeli.

Now by chance there was present a good-for-nothing person named Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he, sounding the horn, said, We have no part in David, or any interest in the son of Jesse: let every man go to his tent, O Israel.

2 A tak všickni muži Izraelští odstoupili od Davida za Sebou synem Bichri, ale muži Judští přídrželi se krále svého od Jordánu až do Jeruzaléma.

So all the men of Israel, turning away from David, went after Sheba, the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah were true to their king, going with him from Jordan as far as Jerusalem.

3 David pak přišel do domu svého do Jeruzaléma. A vzal král deset ženin, kterýchž byl nechal, aby hlídaly doma, a dal je pod stráž, a choval je, ale nevcházel k nim. A zůstaly zavřené až do dne smrti své v vdovství.

And David came to his house at Jerusalem: and the king took the ten women to whom he had given the care of the house, and had them shut up, and gave them the necessaries of life, but did not go near them. So they were shut up till the day of their death, living as widows.

4 Potom řekl král Amazovi: Svolej mi muže Judské do třetího dne, ty také se tu postav.

Then the king said to Amasa, Get all the men of Judah together, and in three days be here yourself.

5 A tak odšel Amaza, aby svolal lid Judský, ale prodlil mimo určitý čas, kterýž mu byl uložil.

So Amasa went to get all the men of Judah together, but he took longer than the time David had given him.

6 Protož řekl David Abizai: Již nyní hůře nám činiti bude Seba syn Bichri, nežli Absolon. Vezmi služebníky pána svého, a hoň jej, aby sobě nenalezl měst hrazených, a tak ušel by nám s očí.

And David said to Abishai, Sheba, the son of Bichri, will do us more damage than Absalom did; so take some of your lord's servants and go after him, before he makes himself safe in the walled towns, and gets away before our eyes.

7 Tedy táhli za ním muži Joábovi, i Cheretejští, i Peletejští, a všickni udatní vytáhli z Jeruzaléma, aby honili Sebu syna Bichri.

So there went after Abishai, Joab and the Cherethites and the Pelethites and all the fighting-men; they went out of Jerusalem to overtake Sheba, the son of Bichri.

8 A když byli u kamene toho velikého, kterýž jest v Gabaon, Amaza potkal se s nimi. Joáb pak byl opásán po sukni, v kterouž byl oblečen, na níž také měl připásaný meč k bedrám v pošvě své, kterýž snadně vytrhnouti i zase vstrčiti mohl.

When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came face to face with them. Now Joab had on his war-dress, and round him a band from which his sword was hanging in its cover; and while he was walking, it came out, falling to the earth.

9 I řekl Joáb Amazovi: Dobře-li se máš, bratře můj? A ujal Joáb pravou rukou Amazu za bradu, aby ho políbil.

And Joab said to Amasa, Is it well, my brother? And with his right hand he took him by the hair of his chin to give him a kiss.

10 Ale Amaza nešetřil se meče, kterýž byl v ruce Joábově. I ranil ho jím pod páté žebro, a vykydl střeva jeho na zem jednou ranou, a umřel. I honili Joáb a Abizai, bratr jeho, Sebu syna Bichri.

But Amasa did not see danger from the sword which was now in Joab's left hand, and Joab put it through his stomach so that his inside came out on to the earth, and he did not give him another blow. So Joab and his brother Abishai went on after Sheba, the son of Bichri.

11 Tedy stoje tu jeden podlé něho z služebníků Joábových, řekl: Kdokoli přeje Joábovi, a kdokoli drží s Davidem, jdi za Joábem.

And one of Joab's young men, taking his place at Amasa's side, said, Whoever is for Joab and for David, let him go after Joab!

12 Amaza pak válel se ve krvi prostřed cesty. A vida onen, že se zastavoval všecken lid, odvlékl Amazu s cesty do pole, a uvrhl na něj roucho, vida, že každý, kdož šel mimo něj, zastavoval se.

And Amasa was stretched out in a pool of blood in the middle of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people were stopping, he took Amasa out of the highway and put him in a field, with a cloth over him, when he saw that everyone who went by came to a stop.

13 A když byl odvlečen z cesty, šel jeden každý za Joábem, aby honili Sebu syna Bichri.

When he had been taken off the road, all the people went on after Joab in search of Sheba, the son of Bichri.

14 (Kterýžto prošel všecka pokolení Izraelská do Abel Betmaacha se všechněmi Berejskými, kteříž se byli shromáždili a šli za ním.)

And Sheba went through all the tribes of Israel, to Abel of Beth-maacah; and all the Bichrites came together and went in after him.

15 A přitáhše, oblehli jej v Abel Betmaacha, a udělali násyp proti městu, kteréž se bránilo z bašt; všecken pak lid, kterýž byl s Joábem, usiloval podvrátiti zed.

And Joab and his men got him shut up in Abel of Beth-maacah, and put up an earthwork against the town: and all Joab's men did their best to get the wall broken down.

16 V tom zvolala jedna rozumná žena z města: Slyšte, slyšte! Rcete medle Joábovi: Přistup sem, a budu s tebou mluviti.

Then a wise woman got up on the wall, and crying out from the town, said, Give ear, give ear; say now to Joab, Come near, so that I may have talk with you.

17 Kterýž když k ní přistoupil, řekla žena: Ty-li jsi Joáb? Odpověděl: Jsem. I řekla jemu: Poslyš slov služebnice své. Odpověděl: Slyším.

And he came near, and the woman said, Are you Joab? And he said in answer, I am. Then she said, Give ear to your servant's words. And he said, I am giving ear.

18 Protož mluvila, řkuci: Takť jsou rozmlouvali hned s počátku, řkouce: Bez pochyby žeť se ptáti budou Abelských, a tak se spraví.

Then she said, In the old days, there was a saying, Let them put the question in Abel and in Dan, saying, Has what was ordered by men of good faith in Israel ever come to an end?

19 Jáť jsem jedno z pokojných a věrných Izraelských, ty pak usiluješ zkaziti město, a to ještě hlavní město v Izraeli. I pročež usiluješ sehltiti dědictví Hospodinovo?

Your purpose is the destruction of a mother-town in Israel: why would you put an end to the heritage of the Lord?

20 Tedy odpověděl Joáb a řekl: Odstup, odstup to ode mne, abych sehltiti a zkaziti chtěl.

And Joab, answering her, said, Far, far be it from me to be a cause of death or destruction;

21 Neníť toho, ale muž z hory Efraim, jménem Seba, syn Bichri, pozdvihl ruky své proti králi Davidovi. Vydejte ho samého, a odtrhnemť od města. I řekla žena Joábovi: Hle, hlava jeho vyvržena bude tobě přes zed.

Not so: but a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, Sheba, son of Bichri, by name, has taken up arms against the king, against David: give up this man only, and I will go away from the town. And the woman said to Joab, His head will be dropped over the wall to you.

22 A tak zjednala to žena ta u všeho lidu moudrostí svou, že sťavše hlavu Seby syna Bichri, vyhodili ji Joábovi. Kterýžto když zatroubil v troubu, rozešli se od města jeden každý do stanů svých. Joáb také vrátil se do Jeruzaléma k králi.

Then the woman in her wisdom had talk with all the town. And they had Sheba's head cut off and sent out to Joab. And he had the horn sounded, and sent them all away from the town, every man to his tent. And Joab went back to Jerusalem to the king.

23 Byl pak Joáb představen všemu vojsku Izraelskému, a Banaiáš syn Joiadův nad Cheretejskými a Peletejskými.

Now Joab was over all the army; and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was at the head of the Cherethites and the Pelethites;

24 Též Aduram byl nad platy, a Jozafat syn Achiludův byl kanclířem,

And Adoram was overseer of the forced work; and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the recorder;

25 A Seiáš písařem, Sádoch pak a Abiatar byli kněžími.

And Sheva was the scribe, and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;

26 Híra také Jairský byl knížetem Davidovým.

And in addition, Ira the Jairite was a priest to David.
