2 Samuel 20
1 Now by chance there was present a good-for-nothing person named Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he, sounding the horn, said, We have no part in David, or any interest in the son of Jesse: let every man go to his tent, 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, turning away from David, went after Sheba, the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah were true to their king, going with him from Jordan as far as 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 to whom he had given the care of the house, and had them shut up, and gave them the necessaries of life, but did not go near them. So they were shut up till the day of their death, living as widows.
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 the king said to Amasa, Get all the men of Judah together, and in three days be here yourself.
Потом рече цар Амаси: Сазови ми људе од Јуде до три дана, и нађи се и ти овде.
5 So Amasa went to get all the men of Judah together, but he took longer than the time David had given him.
И отиде Амаса да сазове народ Јудин; али се забави преко рока који му беше одређен.
6 And David said to Abishai, Sheba, the son of Bichri, will do us more damage than Absalom did; so take some of your lord's servants and go after him, before he makes himself safe in the walled towns, and gets away before our eyes.
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 So there went after Abishai, Joab and the Cherethites and the Pelethites and all the fighting-men; they went out of Jerusalem to overtake 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 face to face with them. Now Joab had on his war-dress, and round him a band from which his sword was hanging in its cover; and while he was walking, it came out, falling to the earth.
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, my brother? And with his right hand he took him by the hair of his chin to give him a kiss.
Тада рече Јоав Амаси: Јеси ли здраво брате? И дохвати се Јоав десном руком својом браде Амаси да га целује.
10 But Amasa did not see danger from the sword which was now in Joab's left hand, and Joab put it through his stomach so that his inside came out on to the earth, and he did not give him another blow. So Joab and his brother Abishai went on 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 one of Joab's young men, taking his place at Amasa's side, said, Whoever is for Joab and for David, let him go after Joab!
А један од момака Јоавових стаде код њега и рече: Ко љуби Јоава и ко је Давидов, за Јоавом!
12 And Amasa was stretched out in a pool of blood in the middle of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people were stopping, he took Amasa out of the highway and put him in a field, with a cloth over him, when he saw that everyone who went by came to a stop.
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 had been taken off the road, all the people went on after Joab in search of Sheba, the son of Bichri.
И кад би уклоњен с пута прођоше сви за Јоавом да терају Севу сина Вихријевог.
14 And Sheba went through all the tribes of Israel, to Abel of Beth-maacah; and all the Bichrites came together and went in 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 Joab and his men got him shut up in Abel of Beth-maacah, and put up an earthwork against the town: and all Joab's men did their best to get the wall broken 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 a wise woman got up on the wall, and crying out from the town, said, Give ear, give ear; say now to Joab, Come near, so that I may have talk with you.
Тада викну једна мудра жена из града: Чујте, чујте! Кажите Јоаву: Приступи овамо да говорим с тобом.
17 And he came near, and the woman said, Are you Joab? And he said in answer, I am. Then she said, Give ear to your servant's words. And he said, I am giving ear.
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 said, In the old days, there was a saying, Let them put the question in Abel and in Dan, saying, Has what was ordered by men of good faith in Israel ever come to an end?
А она рече говорећи: Од старине се говори: Ваља питати у Авелу. И тако се извршаваше.
19 Your purpose is the destruction of a mother-town in Israel: why would you put an end to the heritage of the Lord?
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, answering her, said, Far, far be it from me to be a cause of death or destruction;
А Јоав одговори и рече: Сачувај Боже! Сачувај Боже! Нећу да прождрем ни да раскопам.
21 Not so: but a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, Sheba, son of Bichri, by name, has taken up arms against the king, against David: give up this man only, and I will go away from the town. And the woman said to Joab, His head will be dropped over the wall to you.
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 in her wisdom had talk with all the town. And they had Sheba's head cut off and sent out to Joab. And he had the horn sounded, and sent them all away from the town, every man to his tent. And Joab went back to Jerusalem to 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 army; and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was at the head of the Cherethites and the Pelethites;
А беше Јоав над свом војском Израиљевом; а Венаја син Јодајев беше над Хетејима и Фелетејима;
24 And Adoram was overseer of the forced work; and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the recorder;
А Адорам беше над данцима; а Јосафат син Ахилудов беше паметар;
25 And Sheva was the scribe, and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
Сеја писар; а Садок и Авијатар свештеници.
26 And in addition, Ira the Jairite was a priest to David.
И Ира Јаиранин беше кнез Давиду.
