2 Samuel 2
1 And after these things David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go up into one of the cities of Juda? And the Lord said to him: Go up. And David said: Whither shall I go up? And he answered him: Into Hebron.
Pripetilo se je po tem, da je David poizvedel od Gospoda, rekoč: »Ali naj grem gor v katerokoli izmed Judovih mest?« Gospod mu je rekel: »Pojdi gor.« David mu je rekel: »Kam naj grem gor?« Rekel je: »V Hebrón.«
2 So David went up, and his two wives, Achinoam the Jezrahelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal of Carmel:
Tako je David odšel tja gor in tudi dve njegovi ženi: Jezreélka Ahinóam in Abigájila, žena Karmélčana Nabála.
3 And the men also that were with him, David brought up every man with his household: and they abode in the towns of Hebron.
Njegove može, ki so bili z njim, je David privedel gor, vsakega moža s svojo družino in prebivali so v mestih Hebróna.
4 And the men of Juda came, and anointed David there, to be king over the house of Juda. And it was told David, that the men of Jabes Galaad had buried Saul.
Možje iz Juda so prišli in tam mazilili Davida [za] kralja nad Judovo hišo. In povedali so Davidu, rekoč: » Da so bili možje iz Jabéš Gileáda tisti, ki so pokopali Savla.«
5 David therefore sent messengers to the men of Jabes Galaad, and said to them: Blessed be you to the Lord, who have shewn this mercy to your master Saul, and have buried him.
David je poslal poslance k ljudem iz Jabéš Gileáda ter jim rekel: »Blagoslovljeni bodite od Gospoda, da ste izkazali to prijaznost našemu gospodu Savlu in ga pokopali.
6 And now the Lord surely will render you mercy and truth, and I also will, requite you for this good turn, because you have done this thing.
Sedaj naj vam Gospod izkaže prijaznost in resnico in tudi jaz vam bom poplačal to prijaznost, ker ste storili to stvar.
7 Let your hands be strengthened, and be ye men of valour: for although your master Saul be dead, yet the house of Juda hath anointed me to be their king.
Zato naj bodo sedaj vaše roke okrepljene in bodite hrabri, kajti vaš gospodar Savel je mrtev in tudi Judova hiša me je mazilila [za] kralja nad seboj.«
8 But Abner the son of Ner, general of Saul’s army, took Isboseth the son of Saul, and led him about through the camp?
Toda Nerov sin Abnêr, poveljnik Savlove vojske, je vzel Savlovega sina Iš Bošeta, in ga privedel preko, v Mahanájim
9 And made him king over Galaad, and, over Gessuri, and over Jezrahel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
in ga postavil [za] kralja nad Gileádom, nad Ašhúrci, nad Jezreélom, nad Efrájimom, nad Benjaminom in nad vsem Izraelom.
10 Isboseth the son of Saul was forty years old when he began to reign over, Israel, and he reigned two years: and only the house of Juda followed David.
Savlov sin Iš Bošet je bil star štirideset let, ko je začel kraljevati nad Izraelom in kraljeval je dve leti. Toda Judova hiša je sledila Davidu.
11 And the number of the days that David abode, reigning in Hebron over the house of Juda, was seven years and six months.
In časa, ko je bil David kralj v Hebrónu, nad Judovo hišo, je bilo sedem let in šest mesecev.
12 And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Isboseth the son of Saul, went out from the camp to Gabaon.
In Nerov sin Abnêr in služabniki Savlovega sina Iš Bošeta so iz Mahanájima odšli v Gibeón.
13 And Joab the son of Sarvia, and the servants of David went out, and met them by the pool of Gabaon. And when they were come together, they sat down over against one another: the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side.
In Cerújin sin Joáb in Davidovi služabniki so odšli ven in se srečali pri Gibeónskem ribniku in se usedli, eni na eni strani ribnika, drugi pa na drugi strani ribnika.
14 And Abner said to Joab: Let the young men rise, and play before us. And Joab answered: Let them rise.
Abnêr je rekel Joábu: »Naj mladeniči sedaj vstanejo in igrajo pred nami.« Joáb je rekel: »Naj vstanejo.«
15 Then there arose and went over twelve in number of Benjamin, of the part of Isboseth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
Potem so se tam vzdignili in odšli čez, po številu dvanajst iz Benjamina, ki je pripadal Iš Bošetovemu sinu Savlu in dvanajst izmed Davidovih služabnikov.
16 And every one catching his fellow, by the head, thrust his sword into the side of his adversary, and they fell down together: and the name of the place was called: The field of the valiant, in Gabaon.
Vsak je zgrabil drugega za glavo in svoj meč porinil v njegovo stran. Tako so skupaj padli dol, zato je bil ta kraj imenovan Helkat-hazurim, ki je v Gibeónu.
17 And there was a very fierce battle that day: and Abner was put to flight, with the men of Israel, by the servants of David.
Tam je bila ta dan zelo huda bitka in Abnêr je bil poražen in Izraelovi možje, pred Davidovimi služabniki.
18 And there were the three sons of Sarvia there, Joab, and Abisai, and Asael: now Asael was a most swift runner, like one of the roes that abide in the woods.
Bili so trije Cerújini sinovi: Joáb, Abišáj in Asaél. Asaél je bil kakor svetloba stopala, kakor divja srna.
19 And Asael pursued after Abner, and turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
Asaél je zasledoval Abnêrja in ko je šel, se ni obrnil ne k desni roki niti ne k levi od zasledovanja Abnêrja.
20 And Abner looked behind him, and said: Art thou Asael? And he answered: I am.
Potem je Abnêr pogledal za seboj in rekel: » Ali si ti Asaél?« Odgovoril je: »Jaz sem.«
21 And Abner said to him: Go to the right hand or to the left, and lay hold on one of the young men and take thee his spoils. But Asael would not leave off following him close.
Abnêr mu je rekel: »Obrni se vstran k svoji desni roki ali k svoji levi in primi enega izmed mladeničev in si vzemi njegovo bojno opremo.« Toda Asaél se ni hotel obrniti od sledenja za njim.
22 And again Abner said to Asael: Go off, and do not follow me, lest I be obliged to stab thee to the ground, and I shall not be able to hold up my face to Joab thy brother.
Abnêr je ponovno rekel Asaélu: »Obrni se stran od sledenja za menoj. Zakaj bi te udaril k tlom? Kako bi potem svoj obraz dvignil k tvojemu bratu Joábu?«
23 But he refused to hearken to him, and would not turn aside: wherefore Abner struck him with his spear with a back stroke in the groin, and thrust him through, and he died upon the spot: and all that came to the place where Asael fell down and died stood still.
Vendar je ta odklonil, da se obrne vstran. Zato ga je Abnêr z zadnjim delom sulice udaril pod petim rebrom, da je sulica pogledala ven za njim; in tam je padel dol in umrl na istem kraju. Pripetilo se je, da kolikor jih je prišlo na kraj, kjer je Asaél padel dol in umrl, da so mirno stali.
24 Now while Joab and Abisai pursued after Abner, the sun went down: and they came as far as the hill of the aqueduct, that lieth over against the valley by the way of the wilderness in Gabaon.
Tudi Joáb in Abišáj sta zasledovala Abnêrja. Sonce je zašlo, ko sta prišla k hribu Ame, ki leži pred Giahom, ob poti Gibeónske divjine.
25 And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together to Abner: and being joined in one body, they stood on the top of a hill.
Benjaminovi otroci so se zbrali skupaj za Abnêrjem in postali eno krdelo in stali na vrhu hriba.
26 And Abner cried out to Joab, and said: Shall thy sword rage unto utter destruction? knowest thou not that it is dangerous to drive people to despair? how long dost thou defer to bid the people cease from pursuing after their brethren?
Potem je Abnêr zaklical Joábu in rekel: »Mar bo meč požiral na veke? Ali ne veš, da bo v zadnjem koncu to grenkoba? Doklej bo torej, preden boš svojemu ljudstvu naročil, naj se vrne od zasledovanja svojih bratov?«
27 And Joab said: As the Lord liveth, if thou hadst spoke sooner, even in the morning the people should have retired from pursuing after their brethren.
Joáb je rekel: » Kakor živi Bog, če ne bi spregovoril, bi potem zjutraj ljudstvo zagotovo odšlo gor, vsakdo od sledenja svojemu bratu.«
28 Then Joab sounded the trumpet, and all the army stood still, and did not pursue after Israel any farther, nor fight any more.
Tako je Joáb zatrobil na šofar in vse ljudstvo je mirno stalo in ni več zasledovalo Izraela niti se niso več bojevali.
29 And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plains: and they passed the Jordan, and having gone through all Beth-horon, came to the camp.
Abnêr in njegovi možje so vso to noč hodili skozi ravnino in prečkali Jordan in šli skozi ves Bitrón in prišli do Mahanájima.
30 And Joab returning, after he had left Abner, assembled all the people: and there were wanting of David’s servants nineteen men, beside Asael.
Joáb se je vrnil od zasledovanja Abnêrja in ko je vse ljudstvo zbral skupaj, je od Davidovih služabnikov manjkalo devetnajst mož in Asaél.
31 But the servants of David had killed of Benjamin, and of the men that were with Abner, three hundred and sixty, who all died.
Toda Davidovi služabniki so udarili Benjaminove in Abnêrjeve može, tako da je umrlo tristo šestdeset mož.
32 And they took Asael, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father in Bethlehem, and Joab, and the men that were with him, marched all the night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
Pobrali so Asaéla in ga pokopali v mavzoleju njegovega očeta, ki je bil v Betlehemu. Joáb in njegovi možje pa so vso noč hodili ter ob svitu prišli v Hebrón.
