2 Samuel 21
1 And there was a famine in the days of David for three years successively: and David consulted the oracle of the Lord. And the Lord said: It is for Saul, and his bloody house, because he slew the Gabaonites.
V Davidovih dneh je bila takrat tam tri leta lakota, leto za letom. David je poizvedel od Gospoda. In Gospod je odgovoril: » To je zaradi Savla in zaradi njegove krvoločne hiše, ker je pobil Gibeónce.«
2 Then the king, calling for the Gabaonites, said to them: (Now the Gabaonites were not of the children of Israel, but the remains of the Amorrhites: I and the children of Israel had sworn to them, and Saul sought to slay them out of zeal, as it were for the children of Israel and Juda: )
Kralj je poklical Gibeónce in jim rekel; (torej Gibeónci niso bili izmed Izraelovih otrok, temveč od ostanka Amoréjcev in Izraelovi otroci so jim prisegli. Savel pa si je prizadeval, da jih v svoji gorečnosti do Izraelovih otrok in Juda, pokonča.)
3 David therefore said to the Gabaonites: What shall I do for you? and what shall be the atonement for you, that you may bless the inheritance of the Lord?
Zato je David rekel Gibeóncem: »Kaj naj storim za vas? S čim naj storim spravo, da boste lahko blagoslovili Gospodovo dediščino?«
4 And the Gabaonites said to him: We have no contest about silver and gold, but against Saul and against his house: neither do we desire that any man be slain of Israel. And the king said to them: What will you then that I should do for you?
Gibeónci so mu rekli: »Nočemo imeti niti Savlovega srebra, niti zlata, niti njegovih hiš, niti ne boš za nas nikogar ubil v Izraelu.« Rekel je: »Kar boste rekli, to bom storil za vas.«
5 And they said to the king: The man that crushed us and oppressed us unjustly, we must destroy in such manner that there be not so much as one left of his stock in all the coasts of Israel.
Kralju so odgovorili: »Od človeka, ki nas je použil in ki je snoval zoper nas, da bi bili mi uničeni od preostanka v vseh Izraelovih pokrajinah,
6 Let seven men of his children be delivered unto us, that we may crucify them to the Lord in Gabaa of Saul, once the chosen of the Lord. And the king said: I will give them.
naj nam bo izročenih sedem mož izmed njegovih sinov in obesili jih bomo Gospodu v Savlovi Gíbei, ki ga je Gospod izbral.« Kralj je rekel: »Dal jih bom.«
7 And the king spared Miphiboseth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord, that had been between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
Toda kralj je prizanesel Mefibóšetu, sinu Savlovega sina Jonatana, zaradi Gospodove prisege, ki je bila med njima, med Davidom in Savlovim sinom Jonatanom.
8 So the king took the two sons of Respha the daughter of Aia, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni, and Miphiboseth: and the five sons of Michol the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Hadriel the son of Berzellai, that was of Molathi:
Temveč je kralj vzel dva sinova Ajájeve hčere Ricpe, ki jih je rodila Savlu, Armoníja in Mefibóšeta in pet sinov Savlove hčere Mihále, ki jih je vzgojila za Adriéla, sina Mehólčana Barzilája
9 And gave them into the hands of the Gabaonites: and they crucified them on a hill before the Lord: and these seven died together in the first days of the harvest, when the barley began to be reaped.
in izročil jih je v roke Gibeóncem in obesili so jih na hribu pred Gospodom. Vseh sedem je skupaj padlo in bili so usmrčeni v dneh žetve, v prvih dneh, v začetku ječmenove žetve.
10 And Respha the daughter of Aia took haircloth, and spread it under her upon the rock from the beginning of the harvest, till water dropped upon them out of heaven: and suffered neither the birds to tear them by day, nor the beasts by night.
Ajájeva hči Ricpa pa je vzela vrečevino in jo razgrinjala na skali od začetka žetve, dokler nanje ni kapljala voda z neba in ni pustila niti pticam neba, da na njih počivajo podnevi niti živalim polja ponoči.
11 And it was told David, what Respha the daughter of Aia, the concubine of Saul, had done.
To je bilo povedano Davidu, kaj je storila Savlova priležnica, Ajájeva hči Ricpa.
12 And David went, and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabes Galaad, who had stolen them from the street of Bethsan, where the Philistines had hanged them when they had slain Saul in Gelboe.
David je odšel in vzel Savlove kosti in kosti njegovega sina Jonatana od ljudi iz Jabéš Gileáda, ki so jih ukradli iz ulice Bet Šeána, kjer so jih Filistejci obesili, ko so Filistejci umorili Savla na Gilbói.
13 And he brought from thence the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gathered up the bones of them that were crucified,
Od tam je prinesel gor kosti Savla in kosti njegovega sina Jonatana in zbrali so [tudi] kosti tistih, ki so bili obešeni.
14 And they buried them with the bones of Saul, and of Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin, in the side, in the sepulchre of Cis his father: and they did all that the king had commanded, and God shewed mercy again to the land after these things.
Kosti Savla in njegovega sina Jonatana so pokopali v Celi, v Benjaminovi deželi, v mavzoleju njegovega očeta Kiša in izpolnili so vse, kar je kralj zapovedal. Potem se je dal Bog izprositi za deželo.
15 And the Philistines made war again against Israel, and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. And David growing faint,
Poleg tega so Filistejci ponovno imeli vojno z Izraelom in David je šel dol in njegovi služabniki z njim in borili so se zoper Filistejce, David pa je postal slaboten.
16 Jesbibenob, who was of the race of Arapha, the iron of whose spear weighed three hundred ounces, being girded with a new sword, attempted to kill David.
Jišbí Benób, ki je bil izmed sinov velikana, čigar sulica je tehtala tristo šeklov brona v teži, je bil opasan z novim mečem, misleč, da bo umoril Davida.
17 And Abisai the son of Sarvia rescued him, and striking the Philistine killed him. Then David’s men swore unto him, saying: Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, lest thou put out the lamp of Israel.
Toda Cerújin sin Abišáj mu je pomagal, udaril Filistejca in ga ubil. Potem so mu Davidovi možje prisegli, rekoč: »Ne boš več šel z nami v bitko, da ne pogasiš Izraelove svetlobe.«
18 There was also a second battle in Gob against the Philistines: then Sobochai of Husathi slew Saph of the race of Arapha of the family of the giants.
Pripetilo se je po tem, da je bila ponovno bitka s Filistejci pri Gobu. Takrat je Hušán Sibeháj ubil Safa, ki je bil izmed sinov velikana.
19 And there was a third battle in Gob against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus the son of the Forrest an embroiderer of Bethlehem slew Goliath the Gethite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
In tam je bila ponovno bitka s Filistejci v Gobu, kjer je Elhanán, sin Betlehemca Jaaré Orgíma, usmrtil brata Gitéjca Goljata, katerega palica njegove sulice je bila podobna tkalčevemu brunu.
20 A fourth battle was in Geth. where there was a man of great stature, that had six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, four and twenty in all, and he was of the race of Arapha.
In tam je bila spet bitka v Gatu, kjer je bil mož visoke postave, ki je imel na vsaki roki šest prstov in na vsakem stopalu šest prstov, štiriindvajset po številu, in tudi on je bil rojen velikanu.
21 And he reproached Israel: and Jonathan the son of Samae the brother of David slew him.
Ko je izzival Izraela, ga je Jonatan, sin Davidovega brata Šimája, usmrtil.
22 These four were born of Arapha in Geth, and they fell by the hand of David, and of his servants.
Ti štirje so bili rojeni velikanu v Gatu in padli so po Davidovi roki in po roki njegovih služabnikov.
