2 Samuel 3
1 Now there was a long war between Saul's people and David's people; and David became stronger and stronger, but those on Saul's side became more and more feeble.
И дуго беше рат између дома Сауловог и дома Давидовог; Али Давид све већма јачаше, а дом Саулов постајаше све слабији.
2 While David was in Hebron he became the father of sons: the oldest was Amnon, son of Ahinoam of Jezreel;
И Давиду се родише синови у Хеврону: Првенац му беше Амнон од Ахиноаме Језраељанке;
3 And the second, Chileab, whose mother was Abigail, the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom, son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur;
Други беше Хилеав од Авигеје жене Навала Кармилца; трећи Авесалом син Махе кћери Талмаја цара гесурског;
4 And the fourth, Adonijah, the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah, the son of Abital;
Четврти Адонија син Агитин; и пети Сефатија син Авиталин;
5 And the sixth, Ithream, whose mother was David's wife Eglah. These were the sons of David, whose birth took place in Hebron.
И шести Итрам од Егле жене Давидове. Ти се родише Давиду у Хеврону.
6 Now while there was war between Saul's people and David's people, Abner was making himself strong among the supporters of Saul.
И док беше рат између дома Сауловог и дома Давидовог, Авенир брањаше дом Саулов.
7 Now Saul had among his wives a woman named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and Ish-bosheth said to Abner, Why have you taken my father's wife?
А Саул имаше иночу по имену Ресфу, кћер Ајину; и Исвостеј рече Авениру: Зашто си спавао код иноче оца мог?
8 And Abner was very angry at the words of Ish-bosheth, and he said, Am I a dog's head of Judah? I am this day doing all in my power for the cause of your father Saul and for his brothers and his friends, and have not given you up into the hands of David, and now you say I have done wrong with a woman.
И Авенир се разгневи на речи Исвостејеве и рече: Јесам ли ја пасја глава, који сада чиним на Јуди милост дому Саула оца твог и браћи његовој и пријатељима његовим, и нисам те пустио у руке Давидове, те данас тражиш на мени зло ради те жене?
9 May God's punishment be on Abner, if I do not for David as the Lord in his oath has said,
Тако нека учини Бог Авениру, и тако нека дода, ако не учиним Давиду како му се Господ заклео,
10 And if I do not take away the kingdom from the family of Saul and make David ruler over Israel and Judah from Dan as far as Beer-sheba!
Да се пренесе ово царство од дома Сауловог, и да се утврди престо Давидов над Израиљем и над Јудом, од Дана до Вирсавеје.
11 And so great was Ish-bosheth's fear of Abner that he was not able to say a word in answer.
И он не може више ништа одговорити Авениру, јер га се бојаше.
12 And Abner sent men to David at Hebron, saying, Make an agreement with me, and I will give you my support in getting all Israel on your side.
И Авенир посла посланике к Давиду од себе и поручи: Чија је земља? И поручи му: Учини веру са мном, и ево рука ће моја бити с тобом, да обратим к теби свега Израиља.
13 And he said, It is well; I will make an agreement with you, but on one condition, which is, that when you come before me, Saul's daughter Michal is to come with you; till she comes you will not see my face.
А он одговори: Добро; ја ћу учинити веру с тобом; али једно иштем од тебе, и то: да не видиш лице моје ако ми прво не доведеш Михалу, кћер Саулову, кад дођеш да видиш лице моје.
14 And David sent men to Saul's son Ish-bosheth, saying, Give me back Michal, my wife, whom I made mine for the price of the private parts of a hundred Philistines.
И посла Давид посланике к Исвостеју, сину Сауловом, и поручи му: Дај ми жену моју Михалу, коју испросих за сто окрајака филистејских.
15 So Ish-bosheth sent and took her from her husband Paltiel, the son of Laish.
И Исвостеј посла те је узе од мужа, од Фалтила, сина Лаисовог.
16 And her husband went with her as far as Bahurim, weeping while he went. Then Abner said to him, Go back. And he went back.
А муж њен пође с њом, и једнако плакаше за њом до Ваурима. Тада му рече Авенир: Иди, врати се натраг. И он се врати.
17 Then Abner had a talk with the chief men of Israel, saying, In the past it was your desire to make David your king: so now, do it:
Потом Авенир говори старешинама израиљским, и рече им: Пре тражисте Давида да буде цар над вама.
18 For the Lord has said of David, By the hand of my servant David I will make my people Israel safe from the Philistines, and from all who are against them.
Ето сада учините; јер је Господ рекао за Давида говорећи: Преко Давида слуге свог избавићу народ свој Израиља из руку филистејских и из руку свих непријатеља њихових.
19 And Abner said the same things to Benjamin: and he went to David in Hebron to make clear to him what seemed good to Israel and to all the people of Benjamin.
Тако говори Авенир и синовима Венијаминовим. Потом отиде Авенир и у Хеврон да каже Давиду све што за добро нађе Израиљ и сав дом Венијаминов.
20 So Abner, with twenty men, came to Hebron, to David. And David made a feast for Abner and the men who were with him.
И кад дође Авенир к Давиду у Хеврон и с њим двадесет људи, учини Давид гозбу Авениру и људима који беху с њим.
21 And Abner said to David, Now I will go, and make all Israel come to my lord the king, so that they may make an agreement with you, and your kingdom may be as wide as your heart's desire. Then David sent Abner away and he went in peace.
И рече Авенир Давиду: Да устанем и идем да скупим к цару господару свом сав народ Израиљев да учине веру с тобом, па да царујеш како ти душа жели. И Давид отпусти Авенира да иде с миром.
22 Now the servants of David and Joab had been out attacking a band of armed men, and they came back with a great store of goods taken in the fight: but Abner was no longer in Hebron with David, for he had sent him away and he had gone in peace.
А гле, слуге Давидове враћаху се с Јоавом из боја, и тераху са собом велик плен; а Авенир већ не беше код Давида у Хеврону, јер га отпусти, те отиде с миром.
23 When Joab and his men came, news was given them that Abner, the son of Ner, had come to the king, who had let him go away again in peace.
Јоав дакле и сва војска што беше с њим, дођоше онамо; и јавише Јоаву говорећи: Авенир син Ниров долазио је к цару, и он га отпусти те отиде с миром.
24 Then Joab came to the king, and said, What have you done? when Abner came to you why did you send him away and let him go?
И Јоав отиде к цару и рече: Шта учини? Гле, Авенир је долазио к теби; зашто га пусти те отиде?
25 Is it not clear to you that Abner, the son of Ner, came with deceit to get knowledge of your going out and your coming in and of all you are doing?
Познајеш ли Авенира сина Нировог? Долазио је да те превари, да види куда ходиш и да дозна све што радиш.
26 And when Joab had come out from David, he sent men after Abner, and they overtook him at the water-spring of Sirah, and made him come back with them: but David had no knowledge of it.
Потом отишавши Јоав од Давида посла људе за Авениром да га врате од студенца Сире, а Давид не знаше за то.
27 And when Abner was back in Hebron, Joab took him on one side by the doorway of the town to have a word with him quietly, and there he gave him a wound in the stomach, causing his death in payment for the death of his brother Asahel.
И кад се врати Авенир у Хеврон, одведе га Јоав на страну под врата као да говори с њим насамо; онде га удари под пето ребро, те умре за крв Асаила брата његовог.
28 And when David had word of it he said, May I and my kingdom be clear for ever in the eyes of the Lord from the blood of Abner, the son of Ner:
А кад Давид после то чу, рече: Ја нисам крив ни царство моје пред Господом довека за крв Авенира сина Нировог.
29 May it come on the head of Joab and all his father's family: among the men of Joab's family may there ever be some who are diseased or lepers, or who do the work of women, or are put to the sword, or are wasted from need of food!
Нека падне на главу Јоавову и на сав дом оца његовог; и нека дом Јоавов не буде никад без човека болног од течења или губавог или који иде о штапу или који падне од мача или који нема хлеба.
30 So Joab and Abishai his brother put Abner to death, because he had put to death their brother Asahel in the fight at Gibeon.
Тако Јоав и Ависај брат његов убише Авенира што он погуби Асаила брата њиховог код Гаваона у боју.
31 And David said to Joab and all the people who were with him, Go in grief and put haircloth about you, in sorrow for Abner. And King David went after the dead body.
И рече Давид Јоаву и свему народу који беше с њим: Раздерите хаљине своје и припашите кострет, и плачите за Авениром. И цар Давид иђаше за носилима.
32 And they put Abner's body to rest in Hebron; and the king and all the people were weeping loudly by the resting-place of Abner's body.
А кад погребоше Авенира у Хеврону, цар подиже глас свој и плака на гробу Авенировом; плака и сав народ.
33 And the king made a song of grief for Abner and said, Was the death of Abner to be like the death of a foolish man?
И наричући за Авениром рече: Умре ли Авенир како умире безумник?
34 Your hands were free, your feet were not chained: like the downfall of a man before evil men, so was your fall. And the weeping of the people over him went on again.
Руке твоје не бише везане, нити ноге твоје у оков оковане; пао си као што се пада од неваљалих људи. Тада још већма плака за њим сав народ.
35 And the people came to make David take food, while it was still day, but David with an oath said, May God's punishment be on me if I take a taste of bread or any other thing till the sun has gone down!
И дође сав народ нудећи Давида да једе шта, док још беше дан; али се Давид закле и рече: Бог нека ми учини тако, и тако нека дода, ако окусим хлеба или шта друго док не зађе сунце.
36 And all the people took note of it and were pleased: like everything the king did, it was pleasing to the people.
И сав народ чу то, и би им по вољи; шта год чињаше цар, беше по вољи свему народу.
37 So it was clear to Israel and to all the people on that day that the king was not responsible for the death of Abner, the son of Ner.
И позна сав народ и сав Израиљ у онај дан да није било од цара што погибе Авенир син Ниров.
38 And the king said to his servants, Do you not see that a chief and a great man has come to his end today in Israel?
И цар рече слугама својим: Не знате ли да је војвода и то велики погинуо данас у Израиљу?
39 While I, though I am crowned king, have little strength, and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are out of my control: may the Lord give to the evil-doer the reward of his evil-doing!
Али ја сам сада још слаб, ако и јесам помазани цар; а ови људи, синови Серујини, врло су ми силни. Нека Господ плати ономе који чини зло према злоћи његовој.
