2 Samuel 2
1 And so, after these things, David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I ascend to one of the cities of Judah?” And the Lord said to him, “Ascend.” And David said, “To where shall I ascend?” And he responded to him, “To Hebron.”
I stalo se potom, že se David tázal Hospodina, řka: Mám-li jíti do některého města Judského? Jemuž odpověděl Hospodin: Jdi. I řekl David: Kam mám jíti? Odpověděl: Do Hebronu.
2 Therefore, David ascended with his two wives, Ahinoam, the Jezreelite, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
A protož bral se tam David, ano i obě manželky jeho, Achinoam Jezreelská, a Abigail žena někdy Nábale Karmelského.
3 And as for the men who were with him, David led forth each man with his household. And they stayed in the towns of Hebron.
Muže také své, kteříž s ním byli, pojal David, jednoho každého s čeledí jeho, a bydlili v městech Hebronských.
4 And the men of Judah went and anointed David there, so that he would reign over the house of Judah. And it was reported to David that the men of Jabesh Gilead had buried Saul.
I přišli muži Judští, a pomazali tam Davida za krále nad domem Judským. Oznámili také Davidovi, řkouce: Muži Jábes Galád, oni pochovali Saule.
5 Therefore, David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead, and he said to them: “Blessed are you to the Lord, who has accomplished this mercy with your lord Saul, so that you would bury him.
Tedy poslav David posly k mužům Jábes Galád, řekl jim: Požehnaní jste vy před Hospodinem, že jste učinili to milosrdenství pánu svému Saulovi, pochovavše ho.
6 And now, certainly, the Lord will repay to you mercy and truth. But I also will act with favor, because you have accomplished this word.
Protož nyní učiniž s vámi Hospodin milosrdenství a pravdu; ano i jáť s vámi učiním milost, kteříž jste to učinili.
7 Let your hands be strengthened, and be sons of fortitude. For even though your lord Saul has died, still the house of Judah has anointed me as king over them.”
A tak tedy posilňtež rukou svých a buďtež stateční; nebo ač umřel pán váš Saul, však již mne pomazali dům Judův za krále nad sebou.
8 Then Abner, the son of Ner, the leader of the army of Saul, took Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, and he led him around, throughout the camp.
Abner pak syn Nerův, hejtman vojska Saulova, vzal Izbozeta syna Saulova a uvedl ho do Mahanaim.
9 And he appointed him as king over Gilead, and over Geshuri, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all of Israel.
A ustavil ho králem nad Galád a nad Assur, a nad Jezreel, a nad Efraimem, a nad Beniaminem, i nade vším Izraelem.
10 Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, was forty years old when he had begun to rule over Israel. And he reigned for two years. For only the house of Judah followed David.
Ve čtyřidcíti letech byl Izbozet syn Saulův, když počal kralovati nad Izraelem, a kraloval dvě létě. (Toliko dům Judův přídržel se Davida.
11 And the number of the days, during which David was staying and ruling in Hebron over the house of Judah, was seven years and six months.
A byl počet dnů, v nichž byl David králem v Hebronu nad domem Judovým, sedm let a šest měsíců.)
12 And Abner, the son of Ner, and the youths of Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, went out from the camp to Gibeon.
Potom vytáhl Abner syn Nerův, a služebníci Izbozeta syna Saulova z Mahanaim do Gabaon.
13 Therefore, Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and the youths of David, went out and met them beside the pool of Gibeon. And when they had convened together, they sat down opposite one another: these on one side of the pool, and those on the other side.
Joáb také syn Sarvie a služebníci Davidovi vytáhše, potkali se s nimi právě u rybníka Gabaon. I pozůstali tito u rybníka s strany jedné, oni pak u rybníka s druhé strany.
14 And Abner said to Joab, “Let the youths rise up and play before us.” And Joab answered, “Let them rise up.”
Tedy řekl Abner Joábovi: Nechť vystoupí nyní mládenci a pohrají před námi. I řekl Joáb: Nechť vystoupí.
15 Therefore, they rose up and crossed over, twelve in number of Benjamin, from the side of Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, and twelve of the youths of David.
A tak vystoupili a vyšli v rovném počtu, dvanácte z Beniamina, z strany Izbozeta syna Saulova, a dvanácte z služebníků Davidových.
16 And each one, taking hold of his peer by the head, fixed a sword into the side of his adversary, and they fell down together. And the name of that place was called: The Field of the Valiant in Gibeon.
Kteřížto ujavše jeden každý za hlavu bližního svého, vrazil meč svůj v bok tovaryše svého, i padli spolu. Protož nazváno jest místo to Helkat Hassurim, a jest v Gabaon.
17 And a very harsh war rose up on that day. And Abner, with the men of Israel, was put to flight by the youths of David.
I byla bitva velmi veliká v ten den, a poražen jest Abner i muži Izraelští od služebníků Davidových.
18 Now the three sons of Zeruiah were in that place: Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel. And Asahel was a very swift runner, like one of the deer that lives in the forest.
Byli tu také tři synové Sarvie: Joáb, Abizai a Azael. Azael pak byl čerstvý na nohy své jako srna v poli.
19 And Asahel pursued Abner, and he did not turn aside to the right, nor to the left, to cease in the pursuit of Abner.
I honil Azael Abnera, a neuhnul se na pravo ani na levo, běže za Abnerem.
20 And so, Abner looked behind his back, and he said, “Are you not Asahel?” And he responded, “I am.”
Ohlédl se pak Abner zpátkem a řekl: Ty-li jsi Azael? Odpověděl: Jsem.
21 And Abner said to him, “Go to the right, or to the left, and apprehend one of the youths, and take his spoils for yourself.” But Asahel was not willing to cease from pursuing him closely.
Tedy řekl mu Abner: Uchyl se na pravo aneb na levo, a jmi sobě jednoho z mládenců těch, a vezmi sobě kořisti jeho. Ale nechtěl Azael uchýliti se od něho.
22 And again, Abner said to Asahel: “Withdraw, and do not choose to follow me. Otherwise, I will be compelled to stab you to the ground, and I will not be able to lift up my face before your brother, Joab.”
Ještě znovu Abner řekl Azaelovi: Uchyl se ode mne, sic jináč přirazím tě až k zemi, a jak bych směl pohleděti na Joába bratra tvého?
23 But he disdained to heed him, and he was not willing to turn aside. Therefore, turning, Abner struck him with his spear in the groin, and he pierced him through, and he died in the same place. And all those who would pass by the place, in which Asahel had fallen and died, would stand still.
Když pak nechtěl ustoupiti, uhodil ho Abner kopím pod páté žebro, tak že vyniklo kopí hřbetem jeho; a padl tu na tom místě, na kterémž i umřel. A kdožkoli přicházeli k místu, na němž padl Azael a umřel, zastavovali se.
24 Now while Joab and Abishai were pursuing Abner as he fled, the sun set. And they went as far as the Hill of the Aqueduct, which is opposite the valley on the way of the desert in Gibeon.
Ale Joáb a Abizai honili Abnera. Slunce pak již bylo zapadlo, když oni přišli ku pahrbku Amma, jenž jest naproti Giach, cestou k poušti Gabaon.
25 And the sons of Benjamin gathered themselves to Abner. And being joined in one battle line, they stood at the summit of a hill.
Tedy sešli se synové Beniamin za Abnerem, a jsouce spolu v houfu, postavili se na vrchu pahrbku jednoho.
26 And Abner cried out to Joab, and he said: “Will your sword rage unto utter destruction? Are you ignorant that it is perilous to act in desperation? How long will you not tell the people to cease from the pursuit of their brothers?”
Odkudž zavolal Abner na Joába, řka: Zdaliž bez přestání sžírati bude meč tvůj? Nevíš-liž, že hořkost bývá naposledy? Dokudž tedy nerozkážeš lidu navrátiti se od honění bratří svých?
27 And Joab said: “As the Lord lives, if you had spoken in the morning, the people would have withdrawn from pursuing their brothers.”
I řekl Joáb: Živť jest Bůh, že kdybys byl nemluvil, hned ráno byl by odšel lid, jeden každý nechaje honění bratra svého.
28 Therefore, Joab sounded the trumpet, and the entire army stood still, and they did not pursue after Israel any more, and they did not engage in conflict.
Tedy zatroubil Joáb v troubu, a zastavil se všecken lid, a nehonili více Izraele, aniž více bojovali.
29 Then Abner and his men went away, all that night, through the plains. And they crossed the Jordan, and having roamed throughout all of Beth-horon, they arrived in the camp.
A tak Abner i lid jeho šli přes pole celou tu noc, a přepravili se přes Jordán, a prošedše všecku Betoron, přišli do Mahanaim.
30 But Joab, returning after he had released Abner, gathered together all the people. And of David’s youths, they were missing nineteen men, aside from Asahel.
Ale Joáb navrátiv se od honění Abnera, shromáždil všecken lid, a nedostávalo se z služebníků Davidových devatenácti mužů a Azaele.
31 But of Benjamin and of the men who were with Abner, the servants of David had struck three hundred and sixty, who also died.
Služebníci pak Davidovi zbili z Beniaminských a z mužů Abnerových tři sta a šedesáte mužů, kteříž tu zahynuli.
32 And they took Asahel, and they buried him in the sepulcher of his father at Bethlehem. And Joab, and the men who were with him, walked throughout the night, and they arrived in Hebron at the very break of day.
A vzavše Azaele, pohřbili jej v hrobě otce jeho, kterýž byl v Betlémě. Potom šli celou tu noc Joáb a muži jeho; i rozednilo se, když přicházeli do Hebronu.
