2 Samuelova 3
1 I trvala dlouho válka mezi domem Saulovým a domem Davidovým. David pak čím dále tím více se silil, ale dům Saulův čím dále tím se více umenšoval.
There was a long war between those who wanted Saul’s son to be their king and those who wanted David to be their king. But more and more people began to want David to be the king, while the number of people who wanted Saul’s son to be the king continued to become smaller.
2 I zrodili se Davidovi synové v Hebronu, z nichž prvorozený jeho byl Amnon z Achinoam Jezreelské;
David’s wives gave birth to six sons at Hebron. The oldest was Amnon, whose mother was Ahinoam, from Jezreel [city].
3 A druhý po něm Cheleab z Abigail, ženy někdy Nábale Karmelského; třetí pak Absolon, syn z Maachy dcery Tolmai krále Gessur;
The next one was Kileab, whose mother was Abigail, the widow of Nabal, from Carmel [city]. The next one was Absalom, whose mother was Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, the king of [the] Geshur [region].
4 A čtvrtý Adoniáš syn Haggit, a pátý Sefatiáš syn Abitál;
The next one was Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith. The next one was Shephatiah, whose mother was Abital.
5 Šestý pak Jetram z Egly manželky Davidovy. Ti se zrodili Davidovi v Hebronu.
The youngest one was Ithream, whose mother was Eglah, [another one of] David’s wives. Those sons of David were all born in Hebron.
6 I stalo se, když byla válka mezi domem Saulovým a mezi domem Davidovým, a Abner statečně zastával domu Saulova,
While those who wanted Saul’s son to rule over them and those who wanted David to rule over them continued to fight against each other, Abner was becoming more influential among those who wanted Saul’s son to be the king.
7 (Měl pak byl Saul ženinu, jejíž jméno bylo Rizpa, dcera Aja), že řekl Izbozet Abnerovi: I proč jsi všel k ženině otce mého?
When Saul was alive, he had as one of his wives a slave woman named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. [But one day Abner had sexual relations with her]. So Ishbosheth said to Abner, “Why have you had sexual relations with [EUP] my father’s slave wife?”
8 Tedy rozhněvav se Abner velmi pro slova Izbozetova, řekl: I zdali já jsem psí hlava, kterýž jsem proti Judovi dnes učinil milosrdenství s domem Saule otce tvého, s bratřími jeho i příbuznými jeho, a nevydal jsem tě v ruku Davidovu, a však vyhledáváš na mně dnes nepravosti té ženy.
Abner became very angry about what Ishbosheth said to him. He said to Ishbosheth, “(Do you think that I am a [worthless] dog [MET] from Judah?/You are treating me as though I am a [worthless] dog [MET] from Judah.) [RHQ] From the beginning, I have been loyal to Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends. And I have prevented you from being defeated by David’s army. So now (why are you criticizing me about [what I have done with] some woman?/you should not be criticizing me about [what I have done with] some woman.) [RHQ]
9 Toto učiň Bůh Abnerovi a toto mu přidej, jestliže nedopomohu k tomu Davidovi, jakož jemu přisáhl Hospodin,
Yahweh solemnly promised that he would not allow Saul and his descendants to continue to rule. He promised that he would cause David to rule over all the tribes of Israel and Judah, from Dan [city] far in the north to Beersheba [city] far in the south. So I hope/desire that God will punish me severely [HYP] if I do not enable that to happen!”
10 Aby přeneseno bylo království od domu Saulova, a upevněn byl trůn Davidův nad Izraelem i nad Judou, od Dan až do Bersabé.
11 A nemohl k tomu nic více odpovědíti Abnerovi, proto že se ho bál.
Ishbosheth was very afraid of Abner, so he did not say anything in reply to Abner.
12 A tak poslal Abner posly k Davidovi na místě svém, řka: Èí jest země? A aby řekli: Učiň smlouvu se mnou, a aj, ruka má bude s tebou, abych obrátil k tobě všecken Izrael.
Then Abner sent messengers to David [when he was at Hebron], to say to him, “[Either you or I] should be [RHQ] the ruler of this entire nation, [but not Isbosheth. However, ] if you make an agreement with me, I will help you by encouraging all the people of Israel to (be want you to be their king/start to support) you.”
13 Jemuž odpověděl: Dobře. Jáť učiním s tebou smlouvu, a však jedné věci od tebe žádám, totiž, abys neviděl tváři mé, leč prvé dáš přivésti Míkol dceru Saulovu, když bys chtěl přijíti, abys viděl tvář mou.
David sent back this reply: “Good! I am willing to make an agreement with you. But before that happens, there is one thing that you must do. When you come to see me, you must bring my wife Michal, Saul’s daughter.”
14 I poslal David posly k Izbozetovi synu Saulovu, aby řekli: Dej mi ženu mou Míkol, kterouž jsem sobě zasnoubil ve stu obřízek Filistinských.
Then David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, to say to him, “I [had to kill] 100 men from Philistia [and cut off] their foreskins to give to Saul to pay for Michal [to be my wife]. So now give her back to me!”
15 Poslav tedy Izbozet, vzal ji od muže Faltiele syna Lais.
So Ishbosheth sent some men to take Michal from her husband Palti. But [when they took her, ] her husband followed them all the way to Bahurim [town], crying as he went.
16 Šel pak s ní muž její, a jda za ní až do Bahurim, plakal. Tedy řekl jemu Abner: Jdi, navrať se zase. I navrátil se.
Then Abner [turned and] said to him, “Go back [home]!”, so he did.
17 Potom Abner učinil řeč k starším Izraelským, řka: Předešle stáli jste o to, aby David byl králem nad vámi.
Abner went to the Israeli leaders and talked with them. He said, “For a long time you have wanted David to be your king.
18 Protož nyní vykonejtež to; neboť jest Hospodin mluvil o Davidovi, řka: Skrze ruku Davida služebníka svého vysvobodím lid svůj Izraelský z ruky Filistinských, a z ruky všech nepřátel jeho.
So now you have an opportunity to do that. Keep in mind that Yahweh promised this: ‘With the help of David, who serves me [well], I will rescue my people from the people of Philistia, and from the power [MTY] of all their other enemies’.”
19 To též mluvil Abner i k Beniaminským. Potom odšel Abner, aby mluvil k Davidovi v Hebronu všecko, což se za dobré vidělo Izraelovi a všemu domu Beniamin.
Abner also spoke to the people of the tribe of Benjamin. Then he went to Hebron, to tell David what all the people of Israel and the people of the tribe of Benjamin had agreed to do.
20 Když tedy přišel Abner k Davidovi do Hebronu a s ním dvadceti mužů, učinil David Abnerovi i mužům, kteříž s ním byli, hody.
When Abner came with 20 of his soldiers to see David at Hebron, David made a feast for all of them.
21 I řekl Abner Davidovi: Vstanu a půjdu, abych shromáždil ku pánu svému králi všecken lid Izraelský, kteříž vejdou s tebou v smlouvu, a budeš kralovati nade všemi, jakož toho žádá duše tvá. I propustil David Abnera, kterýž odšel v pokoji.
Afterwards, Abner said to David, “Sir/Your majesty, I will now go and encourage all the people of Israel to accept you to be their king, as you have desired.” Then Abner left, peacefully.
22 A aj, služebníci Davidovi a Joáb vraceli se z vojny, kořisti veliké s sebou nesouce. Ale Abnera již nebylo s Davidem v Hebronu, nebo byl ho propustil, a již odšel v pokoji.
Soon after that, Joab and some of David’s other soldiers returned [to Hebron] after raiding [one of their enemies’ villages], bringing with them a lot of things that they had captured. But Abner was not there at Hebron, because David had sent him safely home.
23 Joáb tedy i všecko vojsko, kteréž bylo s ním, přišli tam. I oznámili Joábovi, řkouce: Byl zde Abner syn Nerův u krále, ale propustil jej, a odšel v pokoji.
When Joab and the soldiers who were with him arrived, someone told him that Abner had come there and talked with the king, and that the king allowed to go home safely.
24 Protož všed Joáb k králi, řekl: Co jsi učinil? Aj, přišel byl Abner k tobě; proč jsi ho pustil, aby zase odšel?
So Joab went to the king and said, “Why have you done that? Listen to me! Abner [is your enemy, but] when he came to you, you allowed him [RHQ] to leave!
25 Znáš Abnera syna Nerova. Proto, aby podvedl tebe, přišel, a aby vyšpehoval vycházení tvé i vcházení tvé, a zvěděl všecko, co ty činíš.
Do you not know that he came to you to deceive you and to find out everything that you are doing, and all the places that you go to?”
26 Tedy vyšed Joáb od Davida, poslal posly za Abnerem, kteříž ho přivedli zase od čisterny Sírach, o čemž David nic nevěděl.
After Joab left David, he sent some messengers to get Abner. They found him at Sirah Well, and brought him back to Hebron, but David did not know that they had done that.
27 A když se navrátil Abner do Hebronu, uvedl ho Joáb do prostřed brány, aby s ním mluvil tiše. I udeřil ho v páté žebro, a umřel pro krev Azaele bratra jeho.
So when Abner returned to Hebron, Joab met him at the city gate, and took him aside as though he wanted to speak with him privately. Then he stabbed Abner in the stomach [with his knife/sword]. In that way he murdered Abner because Abner had killed [MTY] Joab’s brother Asahel.
28 To když potom David uslyšel, řekl: Èist jsem já i království mé před Hospodinem až na věky od krve Abnera syna Nerova.
Later, after David heard what had happened, he said, “Yahweh knows that I and the people of my kingdom are not at all (responsible for/guilty of) murdering [MTY] Abner.
29 Nechať přijde na hlavu Joábovu i na všecken dům otce jeho, a nechť není prázden dům Joábův toho, jenž by trpěl tok, aneb malomocného a na hůl se podpírajícího, aneb padajícího od meče a nemajícího chleba.
I hope/desire that Joab and all his family will be punished [MTY] for doing that! I hope/desire that there will always be someone in his family who has sores, or someone who is a leper, or some man who is forced to do women’s work, or someone who is killed in a battle, or someone who does not have enough food to eat!”
30 A tak Joáb a Abizai bratr jeho zamordovali Abnera, proto že byl zabil Azaele bratra jejich v Gabaon v bitvě.
That is how Joab and his brother Abishai murdered Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel in the battle at Gibeon.
31 I řekl David Joábovi a ke všemu lidu, kterýž byl s ním: Roztrhněte roucha svá, a přepašte se pytli, a plačte před Abnerem. Král pak David šel za márami.
Then David said to Joab and to all Joab’s soldiers, “Tear your clothes and put on coarse cloth [to show that you are sad], and mourn for Abner!” And [at the funeral], King David walked behind [the men who were carrying] the coffin.
32 A když pochovávali Abnera v Hebronu, pozdvih král hlasu svého, plakal nad hrobem Abnerovým, plakal také všecken lid.
They buried Abner’s body at Hebron. And at the grave, the king cried loudly, and all the other people also cried.
33 V tom naříkaje král pro Abnera, řekl: Tak-liž jest měl umříti Abner, jako umírá nějaký ničemný člověk?
David sang this sad song to lament for Abner: “It is not right that [RHQ] Abner died like outlaws die!
34 Ruce tvé nebyly svázány a nohy tvé měděnými poutami nebyly sevříny, ale padl jsi jako ten, kdož padá od lidí nešlechetných. Tedy ještě více všecken lid plakal nad ním.
No one tied his hands or put chains on his feet, [like they do to criminals]. No, he was murdered by wicked men!”
35 Potom přišel všecken lid, a měli k tomu Davida, aby jedl chléb ještě záhy. Ale David přisáhl, řka: Toto ať mi učiní Bůh a toto přidá, jestliže prvé, než slunce zapadne, okusím chleba aneb čehokoli jiného.
Then many [HYP] people came to David to tell him to eat some food before sunset, but David refused. He said, “I hope/desire that God will punish me severely [HYP] if I eat any food before the sun goes down!”
36 Což když poznal všecken lid, líbilo se jim to; a všecko, což činil král, líbilo se všemu lidu.
All the people saw what David did, and they were pleased. Truly, everything that the king did pleased the people.
37 I poznal všecken lid a všecken Izrael v ten den, že nepošlo to od krále, aby zabili Abnera syna Nerova.
So all the people realized that the king had not wanted Abner to be killed.
38 Řekl pak král služebníkům svým: Nevíte-liž, že kníže, a veliké, padlo dnes v Izraeli?
The king said to his officials, “(Do you not realize that a leader and a great man has died today in Israel?/You should realize that a leader and a great man has died today in Israel.) [RHQ]
39 A já ještě nyní mdlý jsem, jakožto pomazaný král, muži pak tito, synové Sarvie, jsou mi nepovolní. Odplatiž Hospodin tomu, kdož zle činí, vedlé zlosti jeho.
Even though Yahweh appointed me to be the king, today I feel weak. These two sons of Zeruiah, [Joab and Abishai], are very violent; I cannot control them. So I hope/desire that Yahweh will punish them severely in return for this wicked thing that they have done!”
