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.
Zgodilo se je, da je bil tam Beliálov mož, katerega ime je bilo Ševá, Bihríjev sin, Benjaminovec. Ta je zatrobil na šofar in rekel: »Mi nimamo deleža v Davidu niti nimamo dediščine v Jesejevem sinu. Vsak mož k svojim šotorom, oh Izrael.«
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.
Tako je vsak mož iz Izraela odšel gor izza Davida in sledil Bihríjevem sinu Ševáju; toda Judovi možje, od Jordana, celo do Jeruzalema, so se trdno pridružili njihovemu kralju.
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.
David je prišel k svoji hiši v Jeruzalemu in kralj je vzel deset žensk, svojih priležnic, ki jih je pustil, da varujejo hišo in jih zaprl v ječo in jih hranil, toda ni šel noter k njim. Tako so bile zaprte do dneva svoje smrti, živeče v vdovstvu.
4 Then the king said to Amasa, Get all the men of Judah together, and in three days be here yourself.
Potem je kralj rekel Amasáju: »V treh dneh mi zberi može iz Juda in ti bodi tu prisoten.«
5 So Amasa went to get all the men of Judah together, but he took longer than the time David had given him.
Tako je Amasá odšel, da zbere Judove može, toda zadržal se je dlje kakor postavljen čas, ki mu je bil določen.
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.
David je rekel Abišáju: »Sedaj nam bo Bihríjev sin Ševá storil več škode, kakor jo je storil Absalom. Vzemi služabnike svojega gospoda in ga zasleduj, da si ne pridobi utrjenih mest in nam pobegne.«
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.
Tam so odšli ven za njim Joábovi možje, Keretéjci, Péletovci in vsi mogočni možje. Odšli so iz Jeruzalema, da zasledujejo Bihríjevega sina Ševája.
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.
Ko so bili pri velikem kamnu, ki je v Gibeónu, je Amasá šel pred njimi. Joábova obleka, ki jo je oblekel, je bila opasana k njemu in na njej pas s pritrjenim mečem na svojih ledjih, v svoji nožnici in ko je šel naprej, je ta padel ven.
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.
Joáb je rekel Amasáju: » Ali si pri zdravju, moj brat?« Joáb je z desnico prijel Amasája za brado, da ga poljubi.
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.
Toda Amasá ni pazil na meč, ki je bil v Joábovi roki. Tako ga je z njim udaril v peto rebro in njegovo notranjost prelil na tla in ni ga ponovno udaril in je umrl. Tako sta Joáb in njegov brat Abišáj zasledovala Bihríjevega sina Ševája.
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!
Eden izmed Joábovih mož je stal poleg njega ter rekel: »Kdor je naklonjen Joábu in kdor je za Davida, ta naj gre za Joábom.«
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.
Amasá se je valjal v krvi na sredi glavne ceste. In ko je mož videl, da je vse ljudstvo obstalo, je Amasája odstranil z glavne ceste na polje in nanj vrgel oblačilo, ko je videl, da je vsak, kdor je prišel mimo, mirno obstal.
13 When he had been taken off the road, all the people went on after Joab in search of Sheba, the son of Bichri.
Ko je bil odstranjen z glavne ceste, je vse ljudstvo odšlo naprej za Joábom, da zasledujejo Bihríjevega sina Ševája.
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.
Ta je šel skozi vse Izraelove rodove do Abéle in do Bet Maáhe in do vseh Bihríjevcev in zbrani so bili skupaj ter šli tudi za njim.
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.
Prišli so in ga oblegali v Abél Bet Maáhi in nasuli so nasip zoper mesto in le-ta je stal v jarku. In vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo z Joábom, je uničevalo obzidje, da ga zrušijo.
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.
Potem je modra ženska iz mesta zaklicala: »Poslušajte, poslušajte. Recite, prosim vas, Joábu: ›Pridi blizu sèm, da lahko govorim s teboj.‹«
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.
Ko je ta prišel bliže k njej, je ženska rekla: » Ali si ti Joáb?« Odgovoril je: »Jaz sem.« Potem mu je rekla: »Poslušaj besede svoje pomočnice.« Odgovoril je: »Poslušam.«
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?
Potem je spregovorila, rekoč: »V starih časih so bili navajeni govoriti, rekoč: ›Zagotovo bodo vprašali za nasvet v Abélu, ‹ in tako so končali zadevo.
19 Your purpose is the destruction of a mother-town in Israel: why would you put an end to the heritage of the Lord?
Jaz sem ena izmed tistih, ki so v Izraelu mirni in zvesti, ti pa si prizadevaš, da uničiš mesto in mater v Izraelu. Zakaj hočeš pogoltniti Gospodovo dediščino?«
20 And Joab, answering her, said, Far, far be it from me to be a cause of death or destruction;
Joáb je odgovoril in rekel: »Daleč bodi to, daleč bodi to od mene, da bi pogoltnil ali uničil.
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.
Zadeva ni takšna, temveč človek z gore Efrájim, po imenu Bihríjev sin Ševá, je vzdignil svojo roko zoper kralja, celó zoper Davida. Samo njega izročite in odšel bom od mesta.« Ženska je rekla Joábu: »Glej, njegova glava ti bo vržena čez obzidje.«
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.
Potem je ženska, v svoji modrosti, odšla k vsemu ljudstvu. Odsekali so glavo Bihríjevega sina Ševája in jo vrgli ven k Joábu. Ta je zatrobil na šofar in umaknili so se od mesta, vsak mož k svojemu šotoru. In Joáb se je vrnil h kralju v Jeruzalem.
23 Now Joab was over all the army; and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was at the head of the Cherethites and the Pelethites;
Torej Joáb je bil nad vso Izraelovo vojsko. Jojadájev sin Benajá je bil nad Keretéjci in nad Péletovci;
24 And Adoram was overseer of the forced work; and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the recorder;
Adorám je bil nad davkom; Ahilúdov sin Józafat je bil letopisec;
25 And Sheva was the scribe, and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
Ševá je bil pisar; Cadók in Abjatár sta bila duhovnika;
26 And in addition, Ira the Jairite was a priest to David.
in tudi Jaírovec Irá je bil glavni častnik pri Davidu.
