< 2 Samuel 3 >

1 Now the war between the house of Saul and the house of David was protracted. And David grew stronger and stronger, while the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.
Torej tam je bila dolga vojna med Savlovo hišo in Davidovo hišo, toda David je postajal močnejši in močnejši, Savlova hiša pa je postajala šibkejša in šibkejša.
2 And sons were born to David in Hebron: His firstborn was Amnon, by Ahinoam of Jezreel;
Davidu so se v Hebrónu rodili sinovi. Njegov prvorojenec je bil Amnón; od Jezreélke Ahinóam;
3 his second was Chileab, by Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel; his third was Absalom, the son of Maacah daughter of King Talmai of Geshur;
in njegov drugi Kiláb od Abigájile, žene Karmelčana Nabála in tretji Absalom, sin Maáhe, hčere gešurskega kralja Talmája;
4 his fourth was Adonijah, the son of Haggith; his fifth was Shephatiah, the son of Abital;
in četrti Adoníja, Hagítin sin; in peti Šefatjá, sin Abitále;
5 and his sixth was Ithream, by David’s wife Eglah. These sons were born to David in Hebron.
in šesti Jitreám od Davidove žene Egle. Ti so bili rojeni Davidu v Hebrónu.
6 During the war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner had continued to strengthen his position in the house of Saul.
Pripetilo se je, medtem ko je bila vojna med Savlovo hišo in Davidovo hišo, da je Abnêr sebe naredil močnega za Savlovo hišo.
7 Meanwhile, Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. So Ish-bosheth questioned Abner, “Why did you sleep with my father’s concubine?”
Savel je imel priležnico, ki ji je bilo ime Ricpa, Ajájeva hči in Iš Bošet je rekel Abnêrju: »Zakaj si odšel k priležnici mojega očeta?«
8 Abner was furious over Ish-bosheth’s accusation. “Am I the head of a dog that belongs to Judah?” he asked. “All this time I have been loyal to the house of your father Saul, to his brothers, and to his friends. I have not delivered you into the hand of David, but now you accuse me of wrongdoing with this woman!
Potem je bil Abnêr zelo ogorčen zaradi besed Iš Bošeta in je rekel: » Mar sem pasja glava, ko ta dan zoper Juda izkazujem prijaznost hiši tvojega očeta Savla, njegovim bratom in njegovim prijateljem in te nisem izročil v Davidovo roko, da me danes obsojaš s krivdo glede te ženske?
9 May God punish Abner, and ever so severely, if I do not do for David what the LORD has sworn to him:
Tako stori Bog Abnêrju in še več, razen če, kakor je Gospod prisegel Davidu, celo tako jaz storim njemu,
10 to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and to establish the throne of David over Israel and Judah, from Dan to Beersheba.”
da se kraljestvo prestavi od Savlove hiše in da postavi Davidov prestol čez Izraela in čez Juda, od Dana, celo do Beeršébe.«
11 And for fear of Abner, Ish-bosheth did not dare to say another word to him.
In ni mogel Abnêrju ponovno odgovoriti besede, ker se ga je bal.
12 Then Abner sent messengers in his place to say to David, “To whom does the land belong? Make your covenant with me, and surely my hand will be with you to bring all Israel over to you.”
Abnêr pa je v svojem imenu poslal poslance k Davidu, rekoč: »Čigava je ta dežela?« Rekoč tudi: »Skleni zavezo z menoj in glej, moja roka bo s teboj, da k tebi privedem ves Izrael.«
13 “Good,” replied David, “I will make a covenant with you. But there is one thing I require of you: Do not appear before me unless you bring Saul’s daughter Michal when you come to see me.”
Rekel je: »Dobro. Jaz bom sklenil zavezo s teboj, toda od tebe zahtevam eno stvar, to je: ›Ne boš videl mojega obraza, razen če mi najprej ne pripelješ Savlove hčere Mihále, ko prideš, da vidiš moj obraz.‹«
14 Then David sent messengers to say to Ish-bosheth son of Saul, “Give me back my wife, Michal, whom I betrothed to myself for a hundred Philistine foreskins.”
David je poslal poslance k Savlovemu sinu Iš Bošetu, rekoč: »Izroči mi mojo ženo Mihálo, ki sem si jo zaročil za sto prednjih kožic Filistejcev.«
15 So Ish-bosheth sent and took Michal from her husband Paltiel son of Laish.
Iš Bošet je poslal in jo vzel od njenega soproga, torej od Lajiševega sina Paltíela.
16 Her husband followed her, weeping all the way to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, “Go back.” So he returned home.
Njen soprog je odšel skupaj z njo, jokajoč za njo, do Bahuríma. Potem mu je Abnêr rekel: »Pojdi, vrni se.« In se je vrnil.
17 Now Abner conferred with the elders of Israel and said, “In the past you sought David as your king.
Abnêr je imel pogovor z Izraelovimi starešinami, rekoč: »V preteklih časih ste iskali za Davidom, da bi bil kralj nad vami.
18 Now take action, because the LORD has said to David, ‘Through My servant David I will save My people Israel from the hands of the Philistines and of all their enemies.’”
Sedaj torej to storite, kajti Gospod je govoril o Davidu, rekoč: ›Po roki svojega služabnika Davida bom rešil svoje ljudstvo Izraela iz roke Filistejcev in iz roke vseh njihovih sovražnikov.‹«
19 Abner also spoke to the Benjamites and went to Hebron to tell David all that seemed good to Israel and to the whole house of Benjamin.
Abnêr je govoril tudi na ušesa Benjamina in Abnêr je odšel, da govori tudi na Davidova ušesa v Hebrónu. Vse to se je zdelo dobro Izraelu in to se je zdelo dobro celotni Benjaminovi hiši.
20 When Abner and twenty of his men came to David at Hebron, David held a feast for them.
Tako je Abnêr prišel k Davidu v Hebrón in z njim dvajset mož. David je naredil zabavo za Abnêrja in može, ki so bili z njim.
21 Then Abner said to David, “Let me go at once, and I will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may rule over all that your heart desires.” So David dismissed Abner, and he went in peace.
Abnêr je rekel Davidu: »Vstal bom in šel in ves Izrael bom zbral k svojemu gospodu kralju, da bodo lahko s teboj sklenili zavezo in da boš lahko kraljeval nad vsem, kar si tvoje srce želi.« David je poslal Abnêrja proč in ta je odšel v miru.
22 Just then David’s soldiers and Joab returned from a raid, bringing with them a great plunder. But Abner was not with David in Hebron because David had sent him on his way in peace.
Glej, Davidovi služabniki in Joáb so prišli iz zasledovanja krdela in s seboj prinesli velik plen, toda Abnêr ni bil z Davidom v Hebrónu, kajti poslal ga je proč in ta je odšel v miru.
23 When Joab and all his troops arrived, he was informed, “Abner son of Ner came to see the king, who sent him on his way in peace.”
Ko so prišli Joáb in vsa vojska, ki je bila z njim, so Joábu povedali, rekoč: »Nerov sin Abnêr je prišel h kralju in ta ga je poslal proč in je odšel v miru.«
24 So Joab went to the king and said, “What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why did you dismiss him? Now he is getting away!
Potem je Joáb prišel h kralju in rekel: »Kaj si storil? Glej, Abnêr je prišel k tebi. Zakaj je to, da si ga poslal proč in je on popolnoma izginil?
25 Surely you realize that Abner son of Ner came to deceive you and to track your movements and all that you are doing.”
Ti poznaš Nerovega sina Abnêrja, da je prišel, da te zavede in da spozna tvoja odhajanja in tvoja prihajanja in da spozna vse, kar delaš.«
26 As soon as Joab had left David, he sent messengers after Abner, who brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David was unaware of it.
Ko je Joáb prišel od Davida, je za Abnêrjem poslal poslance, ki so ga ponovno privedli od vodnjaka Sire. Toda David tega ni vedel.
27 When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab pulled him aside into the gateway, as if to speak to him privately, and there Joab stabbed him in the stomach. So Abner died on account of the blood of Joab’s brother Asahel.
Ko se je Abnêr vrnil v Hebrón, ga je Joáb vzel na stran, v velika vrata, da bi tiho govoril z njim in ga tam udaril pod petim rebrom, da je umrl zaradi krvi njegovega brata Asaéla.
28 Afterward, David heard about this and said, “I and my kingdom are forever guiltless before the LORD concerning the blood of Abner son of Ner.
Potem ko je David to slišal, je rekel: »Jaz in moje kraljestvo sva brez krivde pred Gospodom na veke pred krvjo Nerovega sina Abnêrja.
29 May it whirl over the heads of Joab and the entire house of his father, and may the house of Joab never be without one having a discharge or skin disease, or one who leans on a staff or falls by the sword or lacks food.”
Ta naj počiva na Joábovi glavi in na vsej hiši njegovega očeta in naj iz Joábove hiše ne zmanjka tistega, ki ima izliv ali je gobavec ali se naslanja na palico ali pada na meč ali mu primanjkuje kruha.«
30 (Joab and his brother Abishai murdered Abner because he had killed their brother Asahel in the battle at Gibeon.)
Tako sta Joáb in njegov brat Abišáj umorila Abnêrja, ker je ubil njunega brata Asaéla v bitki pri Gibeónu.
31 Then David ordered Joab and all the people with him, “Tear your clothes, put on sackcloth, and mourn before Abner.” And King David himself walked behind the funeral bier.
David je rekel Joábu in vsemu ljudstvu, ki je bilo z njim: »Pretrgajte svoja oblačila in se opašite z vrečevino in žalujte pred Abnêrjem.« In sam kralj David je sledil mrtvaškemu odru.
32 When they buried Abner in Hebron, the king wept aloud at Abner’s tomb, and all the people wept.
Abnêrja so pokopali v Hebrónu. Kralj je povzdignil svoj glas in jokal nad Abnêrjevim grobom in vse ljudstvo je jokalo.
33 And the king sang this lament for Abner: “Should Abner die the death of a fool?
Kralj je žaloval nad Abnêrjem in rekel: »Je Abnêr umrl, kakor umira bedak?
34 Your hands were not bound, your feet were not fettered. As a man falls before the wicked, so also you fell.” And all the people wept over him even more.
Tvoje roke niso bile zvezane niti tvoja stopala, vklenjena v okove. Kakor mož pada pred zlobneži, tako padaš ti.« In vse ljudstvo je ponovno jokalo nad njim.
35 Then all the people came and urged David to eat something while it was still day, but David took an oath, saying, “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if I taste bread or anything else before the sun sets!”
Ko je vse ljudstvo prišlo, da povzročijo Davidu, da jé hrano, medtem ko je bil še dan, je David prisegel, rekoč: »Tako naj mi Bog stori in še več, če okusim kruh ali karkoli drugega, dokler sonce ne zaide.«
36 All the people took note and were pleased. In fact, everything the king did pleased them.
Vse ljudstvo je to opazilo in to jim je ugajalo, kakor karkoli je kralj storil, je vsemu ljudstvu ugajalo.
37 So on that day all the troops and all Israel were convinced that the king had no part in the murder of Abner son of Ner.
Kajti vse ljudstvo in ves Izrael je ta dan razumelo, da to ni bilo od kralja, da umori Nerovega sina Abnêrja.
38 Then the king said to his servants, “Do you not realize that a great prince has fallen today in Israel?
Kralj je rekel svojim služabnikom: »Ali ne veste, da je ta dan tukaj v Izraelu padel princ in velik mož?
39 And I am weak this day, though anointed as king, and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too fierce for me. May the LORD repay the evildoer according to his evil!”
Jaz sem ta dan šibek, čeprav maziljen kralj in ti možje, Cerújini sinovi, so pretežki zame. Gospod bo hudodelca nagradil glede na njegovo zlobnost.«
