2 Samuelova 4
1 A když uslyšel Izbozet syn Saulův, že umřel Abner v Hebronu, zemdlely ruce jeho, a všecken lid Izrael byl předěšen.
Now, when Ish-bosheth son of Saul heard that Abner had died in Hebron, his hands became feeble, —and, all Israel, were dismayed.
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.
And two men, captains of bands, pertained to Ish-bosheth son of Saul—the name of the one, was Baanah, and, the name of the other, Rechab—sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the sons of Benjamin, —for, even Beeroth, used to be reckoned unto Benjamin;
3 Utekli pak byli Berotští do Gittaim, a byli tam pohostinu až do toho dne.
and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, —and have been sojourners there, until this day.
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.
And, Jonathan, son of Saul, had a son, lame of his feet, —five years old, was he, when tidings came in of Saul and Jonathan from Jezreel, so his nurse took him up, and fled, and it came to pass, when she started up to flee, that he fell and was lamed, and, 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.
So then the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, took their journey and came in, about the heat of the day, unto the house of Ish-bosheth, —when, he, was lying on his noonday couch;
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.
and, thither, entered they as fro as the middle of the house, to fetch wheat, and they smote him in the belly, —and, Rechab and Baanah his brother, escaped.
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.
Thus they entered the house when, he, was lying on his bed, in his sleeping-chamber, and smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, —and took his head, and journeyed by way of the waste plain all the night;
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.
and brought in the head of Ish-bosheth unto David, at Hebron, and said unto the king, Lo! the head of Ish-bosheth son of Saul, thine enemy, who sought thy life: so hath Yahweh given to my lord the king, avengement this day, on Saul and on his seed.
9 Tedy odpovídaje David Rechabovi a Baanovi bratru jeho, synům Remmona Berotského, řekl jim: Živť jest Hospodin, kterýž vysvobodil duši mou ze všech úzkostí,
Then David responded to Rechab and Baanah his brother, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, —By the life of Yahweh, who hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,
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 he that brought tidings to me, saying, Lo! Saul is dead, though, he, was as one that bringeth good tidings, in his own eyes, yet I seized him, and slew him in Ziklag, —which was how I gave him reward for his tidings:
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?
how much more, when, lawless men, have slain a righteous person, in his own house, upon his bed? …Now, therefore, must I not require his blood at your hands, and so consume you, out of 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.
David therefore commanded the young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands, and their feet, and hanged them up over the pool, in Hebron, —but, the head of Ish-bosheth, took they, and buried in the grave of Abner, in Hebron.
