2 Samuelova 4
1 A když uslyšel Izbozet syn Saulův, že umřel Abner v Hebronu, zemdlely ruce jeho, a všecken lid Izrael byl předěšen.
When Saul’s son Ishbosheth heard that Abner had been killed at Hebron, [he realized that he might also be killed]. He became discouraged, and all the Israeli people (trembled/became afraid).
2 Měl pak syn Saulův dva muže hejtmany nad dráby, jméno jednoho Baana, a jméno druhého Rechab, synové Remmona Berotského z synů Beniamin; nebo i Berot počítá se v Beniaminovi.
Ishbosheth had two officers who were leaders of groups that raided other villages. [They were brothers; ] their names were Baanah and Rechab, sons of Rimmon from Beeroth [town] in the tribe of Benjamin. Beeroth is in the area that had [been assigned to] the tribe of Benjamin.
3 Utekli pak byli Berotští do Gittaim, a byli tam pohostinu až do toho dne.
But the people of Beeroth had fled to Gittaim [town], and they still live there.
4 Měl také byl Jonata syn Saulův syna chromého na nohy, ( nebo když byl v pěti letech a přišla pověst o Saulovi a Jonatovi z Jezreel, vzavši ho chůva jeho, utíkala, a když pospíchala utíkajici, on upadl a okulhavěl), jehož jméno Mifibozet.
Saul’s son Jonathan had a son named Mephibosheth. When Mephibosheth was five years old, Saul and Jonathan died in the battle. When people brought that news from Jezreel, Mephibosheth’s nursemaid picked him up and ran away. She ran very fast, with the result that she dropped him, and his legs became crippled.
5 A odšedše synové Remmona Berotského, Rechab a Baana, vešli o poledni do domu Izbozetova. On pak spal na lůžku poledním.
One day, Rechab and Baanah left [their home] to go to Ishbosheth’s house. They arrived there about noontime, when Ishbosheth was taking his midday nap.
6 A aj, když vešli až do domu, jako by bráti měli obilé, ranili ho v páté žebro, Rechab a Baana bratr jeho, a utekli.
The woman who was the doorkeeper was sifting wheat. While doing that, she became sleepy, and fell asleep. So Rechab and his brother Baanah were able to creep in quietly.
7 Nebo když byli vešli do domu, a on spal na lůžku svém v pokojíku svém, kdež léhal, probodli jej a zabili, a sťavše hlavu jeho, vzali ji, a šli cestou po pustinách celou tu noc.
They entered Ishbosheth’s bedroom, where he was sleeping. They killed him [with their swords] and cut off his head. They carried his head and walked all night through the Jordan [River] Valley.
8 I přinesli hlavu Izbozetovu k Davidovi do Hebronu a řekli králi: Aj, hlava Izbozeta syna Saulova, nepřítele tvého, kterýž hledal bezživotí tvého. Hle, pomstil dnes Hospodin pána mého krále nad Saulem i semenem jeho.
They took the head of Ishbosheth to David at Hebron. They said to him, “Here is the head of Ishbosheth, the son of your enemy Saul, who tried to kill you. Your majesty, today Yahweh has allowed you to get revenge on Saul and his descendants!”
9 Tedy odpovídaje David Rechabovi a Baanovi bratru jeho, synům Remmona Berotského, řekl jim: Živť jest Hospodin, kterýž vysvobodil duši mou ze všech úzkostí,
But David replied to them, “Yahweh is the one who has rescued me from all my troubles. And just as surely as Yahweh lives, what I am now saying is also true.
10 Kdyžť jsem toho, kterýž mi oznámil, řka: Aj, Saul zahynul, (ješto se jemu zdálo, že veselé noviny zvěstuje, ) vzal a zabil jsem ho v Sicelechu, jemuž se zdálo, že ho budu darovati za poselství:
When a messenger came to Ziklag and told me ‘Saul is dead!’ and he thought that the news that he was bringing to me was good news, I seized him and [commanded one of my soldiers to] kill him. That was the reward I gave to him for his news!
11 Čím pak více lidi bezbožné, kteříž zamordovali muže spravedlivého v domě jeho na ložci jeho? A nyní, zdaliž nebudu vyhledávati krve jeho z ruky vaší, a nevyhladím vás z země?
So because you two evil men murdered a man who is (innocent/has done nothing wrong) when he was sleeping on his bed in his own house, I will do something worse to you. I will surely [RHQ] get revenge on you two for murdering [MTY] him, and (wipe you/cause you to disappear) from the earth!”
12 I rozkázal David služebníkům, aby je zbili. I zutínali jim ruce i nohy jejich, a pověsili u rybníka při Hebronu. Hlavu pak Izbozetovu vzavše, pochovali v hrobě Abnerově v Hebronu.
Then, following David’s orders, his soldiers killed the two men, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hung their bodies (OR, their hands and feet) [on a pole] near the pool at Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it [respectfully] in the tomb of Abner, there at Hebron.
