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.
There was a man there [at Gilgal] named Sheba. He was a man who always caused trouble. He was from the tribe of Benjamin and was the son of Bichri. He blew a trumpet and called out, “We have nothing to do with [DOU] David, that son of Jesse! So, men of Israel, let’s go to our homes!”
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 from the other Israeli tribes deserted David and went with Sheba, but the men of Judah stayed with David. They wanted him to be their king, and went with him from near the Jordan [River] up to 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.
When David arrived at the palace in Jerusalem, he took the ten slave wives whom he had left there to take care of the palace and put them in another house. He put a guard at that house, and he provided for them what they needed, but he never had sexual relations [EUP] with them again. So they remained shut up in their house until they died. It was as though they were widows.
4 Potom řekl král Amazovi: Svolej mi muže Judské do třetího dne, ty také se tu postav.
[One day] the king said to Amasa, “Summon the soldiers of Judah to come here within three days, and you be here also.”
5 A tak odšel Amaza, aby svolal lid Judský, ale prodlil mimo určitý čas, kterýž mu byl uložil.
So Amasa went to summon them, but he did not return within the time that David told him to.
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.
So David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba will harm us more than Absalom did. So you take my soldiers and pursue him. If you do not do that, he and his soldiers may occupy/capture some of the (fortified towns/towns that have walls around them), and escape from us. [IDM]”
7 Tedy táhli za ním muži Joábovi, i Cheretejští, i Peletejští, a všickni udatní vytáhli z Jeruzaléma, aby honili Sebu syna Bichri.
So Abishai [and Joab] and the king’s bodyguards and the other soldiers left Jerusalem, to pursue Sheba.
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 arrived at the huge rock in [the] Gibeah [region], Amasa met them. Joab was wearing a soldier’s uniform. He had a dagger/long knife fastened to his belt. When he came close [to Amasa, he allowed] the dagger [to] fall on the ground.
9 I řekl Joáb Amazovi: Dobře-li se máš, bratře můj? A ujal Joáb pravou rukou Amazu za bradu, aby ho políbil.
Joab said to Amasa, “Are things going well with you, my friend?” Then Joab grabbed Amasa’s beard with his right hand, in order to kiss him.
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 that Joab was holding [another] dagger in his [other] hand. And Joab stabbed it into Amasa’s belly, and his insides spilled out onto the ground. Amasa died [immediately]; Joab did not need to stab him again. Then Joab and his brother Abishai continued to pursue Sheba.
11 Tedy stoje tu jeden podlé něho z služebníků Joábových, řekl: Kdokoli přeje Joábovi, a kdokoli drží s Davidem, jdi za Joábem.
One of Joab’s soldiers stood alongside Amasa’s body and called out, “Everyone who wants Joab [to be our commander] and who wants David [to be our king], go with 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.
Amasa’s body was lying on the road. It was covered with blood. The soldier of Joab [who had called out] saw that many others of Joab’s soldiers were stopping [to see it], so he dragged Amasa’s body off the road into a field, and threw a cloth/blanket over the body.
13 A když byl odvlečen z cesty, šel jeden každý za Joábem, aby honili Sebu syna Bichri.
After the body had been taken off the road, all the soldiers went with Joab to pursue Sheba.
14 (Kterýžto prošel všecka pokolení Izraelská do Abel Betmaacha se všechněmi Berejskými, kteříž se byli shromáždili a šli za ním.)
Sheba went through all the tribes of Israel, and arrived at Abel-Beth-Maacah [town in the northern part of Israel]. There, all the members of [his father] Bichri’s clan gathered, and went with Sheba into the town.
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.
The soldiers who were with Joab [found out that Sheba had gone there, so they] went there and surrounded the town. They built a dirt ramp up against the town wall. They also pounded against the wall [with heavy poles], to cause it to collapse.
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 who was in that town [stood on the top of the wall and] shouted down, “Listen to me! Tell Joab to come here, because I want to talk to him!”
17 Kterýž když k ní přistoupil, řekla žena: Ty-li jsi Joáb? Odpověděl: Jsem. I řekla jemu: Poslyš slov služebnice své. Odpověděl: Slyším.
So [after they told Joab], he came there, and the woman said, “Are you Joab?” He replied, “Yes, I am.” She said to him, “Listen to what I say.” He replied, “I am listening.”
18 Protož mluvila, řkuci: Takť jsou rozmlouvali hned s počátku, řkouce: Bez pochyby žeť se ptáti budou Abelských, a tak se spraví.
She said, “Long ago people used to say, ‘Go to Abel [town] to get good advice about your problems.’ And that is what people did.
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?
We are peaceful and loyal Israelis. Our people here are important and respected [IDM]. So (why are you trying to destroy a town that belongs to Yahweh?/you should not be trying to destroy a town that belongs to Yahweh.)” [RHQ]
20 Tedy odpověděl Joáb a řekl: Odstup, odstup to ode mne, abych sehltiti a zkaziti chtěl.
Job replied, “I would certainly never want to ruin or destroy your town!
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.
That is not what we want to do. But Bichri’s son Sheba, a man from the hilly area in the tribe of Ephraim, is rebelling against King David. Put this man into our hands, and then we will (go away from/not attack) this town.” The woman replied to Joab, “Okay, what we will do is, we will [cut off] his head [and] throw it 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 this wise woman went to the elders of the town and told them what she had said to Joab. So they cut off Sheba’s head and threw it over the wall to Joab. Then Joab blew his trumpet [to signal that the battle was ended], and all his soldiers left the town and returned to their homes. And Joab returned to Jerusalem and told the king [what had happened].
23 Byl pak Joáb představen všemu vojsku Izraelskému, a Banaiáš syn Joiadův nad Cheretejskými a Peletejskými.
Joab was the commander of the entire Israeli army. Jehoiada’s son Benaiah was the commander of David’s bodyguards;
24 Též Aduram byl nad platy, a Jozafat syn Achiludův byl kanclířem,
Adoram supervised the men who were forced to work [for the king]; Ahilud’s son Jehoshaphat was the man who reported [to the people everything that David decided];
25 A Seiáš písařem, Sádoch pak a Abiatar byli kněžími.
Sheva was the official secretary; Zadok and Abiathar were the priests;
26 Híra také Jairský byl knížetem Davidovým.
and Ira from Jair [town] was also one of David’s priests.
