< 2 Samuel 21 >

1 And a famine occurred, during the days of David, for three years continuously. And David consulted the oracle of the Lord. And the Lord said: “This is because of Saul, and his house of bloodshed. For he killed the Gibeonites.”
И би глад за времена Давидовог три године заредом. И Давид потражи лице Господње; а Господ му рече: То је са Саула и с дома његовог крвничког, што погуби Гаваоњане.
2 Therefore, the king, calling for the Gibeonites, spoke to them. Now the Gibeonites were not of the sons of Israel, but were the remnant of the Amorites. And the sons of Israel had sworn an oath to them, but Saul wished to strike them in zeal, as if on behalf of the sons of Israel and Judah.
Тада цар сазва Гаваоњане и говори им. А Гаваоњани не беху од синова Израиљевих, него остатак од Амореја, којима се беху заклели синови Израиљеви, али Саул гледаше да их побије ревнујући за синове Израиљеве и Јудине.
3 Therefore, David said to the Gibeonites: “What shall I do for you? And what shall be your satisfaction, so that you may bless the inheritance of the Lord?”
И рече Давид Гаваоњанима: Шта да вам учиним и чим да вас намирим, да благословите достојање Господње?
4 And the Gibeonites said to him: “There is no quarrel for us over silver or gold, but against Saul and against his house. And we do not desire that any man of Israel be put to death.” The king said to them, “Then what do you wish that I should do for you?”
А Гаваоњани му рекоше: Не тражимо ни сребро ни злато од Саула или од дома његовог, нити да се ко погуби у Израиљу. А он рече: Шта дакле велите да вам учиним?
5 And they said to the king: “The man who unjustly afflicted and oppressed us, we ought to destroy in such manner that not even one of his stock may be left behind in all the parts of Israel.
Тада рекоше цару: Ко нас је потро и радио да нас истреби, да нас не буде нигде у међама Израиљевим,
6 Let seven men from his sons be given to us, so that we may crucify them to the Lord in Gibeon of Saul, formerly the chosen place of the Lord.” And the king said, “I will give them.”
Од његових синова нека нам се да седам људи да их обесимо Господу у Гаваји Саула изабраника Господњег. И рече цар: Ја ћу дати.
7 But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord which had been made between David and Jonathan, the son of Saul.
Али цар поштеде Мефивостеја сина Јонатана сина Сауловог ради заклетве Господње, која би међу њима, међу Давидом и Јонатаном сином Сауловим.
8 And so the king took the two sons of Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Michal, the daughter of Saul, whom she conceived of Adriel, the son of Barzillai, who was from Meholath,
И узе цар два сина Ресфе, кћери Ајине, које роди Саулу, Армонија и Мефивостеја, и пет синова Михале кћери Саулове, које роди Адрилу сину Варзелаја Меолаћанина.
9 and he gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites. And they crucified them on a hill in the sight of the Lord. And these seven fell together in the first days of the harvest, when the barley is beginning to be reaped.
И даде их у руке Гаваоњанима, а они их обесише на гори пред Господом; и сва седморица погибоше заједно; а бише убијени првих дана жетве, у почетку јечмене жетве.
10 Then Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, taking a haircloth, spread it under herself on a rock, from the beginning of the harvest until water dropped from heaven upon them. And she did not permit the birds to tear them by day, nor the beasts by night.
А Ресфа кћи Ајина узе врећу, и простре по стени у почетку жетве докле не паде на њих дажд са неба, и не даде птицама небеским да падају на њих дању ни зверима пољским ноћу.
11 And it was reported to David what Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
И јавише Давиду шта учини Ресфа кћи Ајина, иноча Саулова.
12 And David went and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan, from the men of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Bethshan, where the Philistines had suspended them after they had slain Saul at Gilboa.
И Давид отиде те узе кости Саулове и кости Јонатана сина његовог од грађана у Јавису Галадовом, који их беху украли с улице вет-санске, где их обесише Филистеји кад убише Филистеји Саула на Гелвуји.
13 And he brought the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan, from there. And they collected the bones of those who had been crucified.
И однесе оданде кости Саулове и кости Јонатана сина његовог, па скупише и кости обешених.
14 And they buried them with the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan, in the land of Benjamin, to the side of the sepulcher of his father Kish. And they did all that the king had instructed. And after these things, God showed favor again to the land.
И погребоше их с костима Сауловим и Јонатана сина његовог у земљи Венијаминовој у Сили, у гробу Киса оца његовог, и учинише све како заповеди цар. Тако се после тога умилостиви Господ земљи.
15 Then the Philistines again undertook a battle against Israel. And David descended, and his servants with him, and they fought against the Philistines. But when David grew faint,
И наста опет рат између Филистеја и Израиља, и Давид отиде са слугама својим, и тукоше се с Филистејима тако да Давид суста.
16 Ishbibenob, who was of the ancestry of Arapha, the iron of whose spear weighed three hundred ounces, who had been girded with a new sword, strove to strike down David.
Тада Јесви-Венов, који беше од синова Рафајевих, и у копљу му беше триста сикала бронзе, и имаше ново оружје, хтеде да убије Давида.
17 And Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, defended him, and striking the Philistine, he killed him. Then David’s men swore an oath to him, saying, “You shall no longer go out to war with us, lest you extinguish the lamp of Israel.”
Али му поможе Ависај, син Серујин, и удари Филистејина и уби га. Тада се заклеше људи Давидови рекавши му: Нећеш више ићи с нама у бој да не угасиш видело Израиљево.
18 Also, a second war occurred in Gob against the Philistines. Then Sibbecai from Hushah struck down Saph, from the stock of Arapha, of the ancestry of the giants.
После тога наста опет рат с Филистејима у Гову; и тада Сивехај Хусаћанин уби Сафа, који беше од синова Рафајевих.
19 Then there was a third war in Gob against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus, a son of the forest, a weaver from Bethlehem, struck down Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like the beam used by a cloth maker.
И опет наста други рат у Гову с Филистејима; и тада Елханан, син Јаре-Орегимов Витлејемац, уби брата Голијата Гетејина, коме копљача беше као вратило.
20 A fourth battle was in Gath. In that place, there was a lofty man, who had six digits on each hand and each foot, that is, twenty-four in all, and he was from the origins of Arapha.
И опет наста рат у Гату, где беше један човек врло висок, који имаше по шест прста на рукама и на ногама, свега двадесет и четири, и он беше такође рода Рафајевог.
21 And he blasphemed Israel. So Jonathan, the son of Shimei, the brother of David, struck him down.
И ружаше Израиља те га уби Јонатан, син Саме, брата Давидовог.
22 These four men were born of Arapha in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and his servants.
Та четворица беху синови истог Рафаја из Гата, и погибоше од руке Давидове и од руке слуга његових.
