< 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 Ishbosheth, son of Saul, heard that Abner had died in Hebron, he was very discouraged, and everyone in Israel was shocked.
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 commanders of his raiding bands, brothers by the name of Baanah and Rechab. They were the sons of Rimmon of the tribe of Benjamin from the town of Beeroth. Beeroth is considered part of the territory of Benjamin,
3 Utekli pak byli Berotští do Gittaim, a byli tam pohostinu až do toho dne.
because the people who had lived in Beeroth before ran away to Gittaim and lived there as foreigners right up to the present.
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.
Jonathan, son of Saul, had a son lame in both feet. He was five years old when the news about the deaths of Saul and Jonathan had come from Jezreel. His nurse had picked him up and ran away, but as she rushed to get away, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.
5 A odšedše synové Remmona Berotského, Rechab a Baana, vešli o poledni do domu Izbozetova. On pak spal na lůžku poledním.
Rechab and Baanah, sons of Rimmon from Beeroth, went to Ishbosheth's house, arriving in the heat of the day as the king was taking his midday rest.
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 doorkeeper had been cleaning wheat, but she had grown tired and fallen asleep, so Rechab and Baanah were able to slip inside.
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 had gone into the house while Ishbosheth was asleep on his bed in his bedroom. After stabbing and killing him, they cut off his head which they took with them, and they traveled all night by the Jordan Valley road.
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 in Hebron. They told the king, “Here is the head of Ishbosheth, son of Saul, your enemy who tried to kill you. Today the Lord has taken revenge on Saul and his family for my lord the king.”
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 answered Rechab and his brother Baanah, sons of Rimmon from Beeroth, “As the Lord lives, who has saved me from all my troubles,
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 someone told me, ‘Look, Saul is dead’ and he thought he was bringing me good news, I grabbed him and had him put him to death at Ziklag. That was what he got for bringing me his news!
11 Èím 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?
Even more so then, when evil men kill a good man in his own house, and in his own bed, shouldn't I demand you pay for his life with your own lives, and exterminate you!”
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.
David gave the order to his men, and they killed Rechab and Baanah. They chopped off their hands and feet, and hung their bodies by the pool in Hebron. Then they took Ishbosheth's head and buried it in Abner's grave in Hebron.
