2 Samuel 20
1 And there happened to be there a base fellow, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew the trumpet, and said, We have no portion in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.
А онде се деси неваљао човек, по имену Сева, син Вихријев, од Венијамина. Он затруби у трубу и рече: Ми немамо део с Давидом, ни наследство са сином Јесејевим; свак у свој шатор, о Израиљу!
2 So all the men of Israel went up from following David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.
Тако сви Израиљци одступише од Давида и отидоше за Севом сином Вихријевим; људи пак од Јуде држаше се цара свог и отпратише га од Јордана до Јерусалима.
3 And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and provided them with sustenance, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood.
А кад цар Давид дође у кућу своју у Јерусалим, узе цар десет жена иноча, које беше оставио да му чувају кућу, и метну их у затвор, где их храњаше али не легаше с њима, него осташе затворене до смрти своје и живљаху као удовице.
4 Then said the king to Amasa, Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and be thou here present.
Потом рече цар Амаси: Сазови ми људе од Јуде до три дана, и нађи се и ти овде.
5 So Amasa went to call [the men of] Judah together; but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
И отиде Амаса да сазове народ Јудин; али се забави преко рока који му беше одређен.
6 And David said to Abishai, Now will Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou thy lord’s servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fortified cities, and escape out of our sight.
А Давид рече Ависају: Сад ће нам Сева, син Вихријев, чинити горе него Авесалом. Него узми слуге господара свог, и гони га да не нађе за се који тврд град и не умакне нам из очију.
7 And there went out after him Joab’s men, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men; and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
Тако изиђоше за њим људи Јоавови, и Херетеји и Фелетеји и сви јунаци, изиђоше из Јерусалима да гоне Севу сина Вихријевог.
8 When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. And Joab was girded with his apparel of war that he had put on, and thereon was a girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.
И кад беху код великог камена у Гаваону, срете их Амаса. А Јоав беше опасан преко хаљине коју имаше на себи, и озго беше припасао мач уз бедрицу у корицама. И кад пође, мач му испаде.
9 And Joab said to Amasa, Is it well with thee, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
Тада рече Јоав Амаси: Јеси ли здраво брате? И дохвати се Јоав десном руком својом браде Амаси да га целује.
10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand: so he smote him therewith in the body, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. And Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
А Амаса не узимаше на ум мач, који беше Јоаву у руци; а он га удари њим под пето ребро, и просу му црева на земљу, те од једног ударца умре. Потом Јоав и Ависај, брат његов, отидоше у потеру за Севом сином Вихријевим.
11 And there stood by him one of Joab’s young men, and said, He that favoreth Joab, and he that is for David, let him follow Joab.
А један од момака Јоавових стаде код њега и рече: Ко љуби Јоава и ко је Давидов, за Јоавом!
12 And Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he carried Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a garment over him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.
А Амаса се ваљаше у својој крви насред пута. И видећи онај човек где се зауставља сав народ, одвуче Амасу с пута у поље и баци хаљину на њ, кад виде где се зауставља сваки ко наиђе на њ.
13 When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
И кад би уклоњен с пута прођоше сви за Јоавом да терају Севу сина Вихријевог.
14 And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto Abel, and to Beth-maacah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and went also after him.
И он прође кроз сва племена Израиљева до Авела и до Ветмахе са свим Виранима, који се окупише те иђаху за њим.
15 And they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth-maacah, and they cast up a mound against the city, and it stood against the rampart; and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.
И дошавши опколише га у Авел-Вет-Маси, и ископаше опкоп око града тако да стајаху пред зидом; и сав народ што беше с Јоавом наваљиваше да обори зид.
16 Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.
Тада викну једна мудра жена из града: Чујте, чујте! Кажите Јоаву: Приступи овамо да говорим с тобом.
17 And he came near unto her; and the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he answered, I am. Then she said unto him, Hear the words of thy handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.
А кад он приступи к њој, рече жена: Јеси ли ти Јоав? А он рече: Јесам. А она рече: Послушај речи слушкиње своје. А он рече: Да чујем.
18 Then she spake, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask [counsel] at Abel: and so they ended [the matter].
А она рече говорећи: Од старине се говори: Ваља питати у Авелу. И тако се извршаваше.
19 I am of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah?
Ја сам један од мирних и верних градова у Израиљу, а ти хоћеш да затреш град, и то мајку у Израиљу. Зашто хоћеш да прождреш наследство Господње?
20 And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
А Јоав одговори и рече: Сачувај Боже! Сачувај Боже! Нећу да прождрем ни да раскопам.
21 The matter is not so: but a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David; deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.
Није тако; него један из горе Јефремове, по имену Сева син Вихријев, подигао је руку своју на цара Давида; дајте само њега, па ћу отићи од града. А жена рече Јоаву: Ево, глава његова бациће ти се преко зида.
22 Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. And he blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.
И жена отиде к свему народу с мудрошћу својом; и одсекоше главу Севи, сину Вихријевом, и бацише је Јоаву. А он затруби у трубу, те се разиђоше од града свак у свој шатор. А Јоав се врати у Јерусалим к цару.
23 Now Joab was over all the host of Israel; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites;
А беше Јоав над свом војском Израиљевом; а Венаја син Јодајев беше над Хетејима и Фелетејима;
24 and Adoram was over the men subject to taskwork; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder;
А Адорам беше над данцима; а Јосафат син Ахилудов беше паметар;
25 and Sheva was scribe; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
Сеја писар; а Садок и Авијатар свештеници.
26 and also Ira the Jairite was chief minister unto David.
И Ира Јаиранин беше кнез Давиду.
