2 Samuel 3
1 There was a long war between those on the side of Saul and those on the side of David. David's side grew stronger, while Saul's side grew weaker.
I dugo bijaše rat izmeðu doma Saulova i doma Davidova; ali David sve veæma jaèaše a dom Saulov postajaše sve slabiji.
2 David's sons born at Hebron were: Amnon (firstborn), by Ahinoam from Jezreel;
I Davidu se rodiše sinovi u Hevronu: prvenac mu bješe Amnon od Ahinoame Jezraeljanke;
3 Chileab (second), by Abigail, Nabal's widow from Carmel; Absalom (third), by Maacah, daughter of King Talmai of Geshur:
Drugi bješe Hileav od Avigeje žene Navala Karmilca; treæi Avesalom sin Mahe kæeri Talmaja cara Gesurskoga;
4 Adonijah (fourth), by Haggith; Shephatiah (fifth), by Abital;
Èetvrti Adonija sin Agitin; i peti Sefatija sin Avitalin;
5 Ithream (sixth), by David's wife Eglah. These were the sons born to David at Hebron.
I šesti Itram od Egle žene Davidove. Ti se rodiše Davidu u Hevronu.
6 Abner had been strengthening his position among the supporters of Saul's dynasty during the war between those on the side of Saul and those on the side of David.
I dok bijaše rat izmeðu doma Saulova i doma Davidova, Avenir branjaše dom Saulov.
7 Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, daughter of Aiah. One day Ishbosheth accused Abner, saying “Why have you been sleeping with my father's concubine?”
A Saul imaše inoèu po imenu Resfu kæer Ajinu; i Isvostej reèe Aveniru: zašto si spavao kod inoèe oca mojega?
8 Abner got extremely angry at Ishbosheth accusation. “Am I a dog's head siding with Judah?” he replied. “Right up to the present day I have been loyal to your dynasty—to your father Saul, and to his brothers and friends. I haven't betrayed you to David. But now you dare to accuse me of sinning with this woman!
I Avenir se razgnjevi na rijeèi Isvostejeve i reèe: jesam li ja pasja glava, koji sada èinim na Judi milost domu Saula oca tvojega i braæi njegovoj i prijateljima njegovijem, i nijesam te pustio u ruke Davidove, te danas tražiš na meni zlo radi te žene?
9 So now may God punish me severely if I don't help David achieve what the Lord has promised him.
Tako neka uèini Bog Aveniru, i tako neka doda, ako ne uèinim Davidu kako mu se Gospod zakleo,
10 I will hand over the kingdom from Saul's dynasty, and help set up David's rule over Israel and Judah, from Dan to Beersheba.”
Da se prenese ovo carstvo od doma Saulova, i da se utvrdi prijesto Davidov nad Izrailjem i nad Judom, od Dana do Virsaveje.
11 Ishbosheth didn't dare to say anything else to Abner because he was frightened of him.
I on ne može više ništa odgovoriti Aveniru, jer ga se bojaše.
12 Then Abner sent messengers to speak for him to David, saying, “Who does the country belong to anyway? Make an agreement with me, and you can be sure I'll be on your side to have all of Israel follow you.”
I Avenir posla poslanike k Davidu od sebe i poruèi: èija je zemlja? I poruèi mu: uèini vjeru sa mnom, i evo ruka æe moja biti s tobom, da obratim k tebi svega Izrailja.
13 “Fine,” David replied, “I'll make an agreement with you. But I have one condition: I won't see you unless you bring Saul's daughter Michal when you come.”
A on odgovori: dobro; ja æu uèiniti vjeru s tobom; ali jedno ištem od tebe, i to: da ne vidiš lica mojega ako mi prvo ne dovedeš Mihalu kæer Saulovu, kad doðeš da vidiš lice moje.
14 Then David sent messengers tell Ishbosheth, son of Saul, “Give me back my wife Michal—I paid a dowry for her of one hundred Philistine foreskins.”
I posla David poslanike k Isvosteju sinu Saulovu, i poruèi mu: daj mi ženu moju Mihalu, koju isprosih za sto okrajaka Filistejskih.
15 Ishbosheth sent for her and took her away from her husband Paltiel, son of Laish.
I Isvostej posla te je uze od muža, od Faltila, sina Laisova.
16 Her husband followed her to the town of Bahurim, crying as he went. Then Abner ordered him, “Go back home!” So he went home.
A muž njezin poðe s njom, i jednako plakaše za njom do Vaurima. Tada mu reèe Avenir: idi, vrati se natrag. I on se vrati.
17 Abner spoke with the elders of Israel and said, “For a while now you have wanted to have David as your king.
Potom Avenir govori starješinama Izrailjskim, i reèe im: preðe tražiste Davida da bude car nad vama.
18 Now is the time to do it, because the Lord promised David, ‘Through my servant David I am going to save my people Israel from the Philistines and all their enemies.’”
Eto sada uèinite; jer je Gospod rekao za Davida govoreæi: preko Davida sluge svojega izbaviæu narod svoj Izrailja iz ruku Filistejskih i iz ruku svijeh neprijatelja njihovijeh.
19 Abner also talked to the people of Benjamin, and went to Hebron to let David know everything that the Israelites and the whole tribe of Benjamin had decided to do.
Tako govori Avenir i sinovima Venijaminovijem. Potom otide Avenir i u Hevron da kaže Davidu sve što za dobro naðe Izrailj i sav dom Venijaminov.
20 Abner came with twenty of his men to see David at Hebron, and David prepared a feast for them.
I kad doðe Avenir k Davidu u Hevron i s njim dvadeset ljudi, uèini David gozbu Aveniru i ljudima koji bijahu s njim.
21 Abner told David, “Let me go immediately and summon all of Israel to come together for my lord the king, so they may make an agreement with you, and that you may rule over all you would wish.” Then David sent Abner safely on his way.
I reèe Avenir Davidu: da ustanem i idem da skupim k caru gospodaru svojemu sav narod Izrailjev da uèine vjeru s tobom, pa da caruješ kako ti duša želi. I David otpusti Avenira da ide s mirom.
22 Soon after Joab and David's men came back from a raid, bringing with them a large amount of plunder. However, Abner wasn't there with David in Hebron because David had already sent him safely on his way in peace.
A gle, sluge Davidove vraæahu se s Joavom iz boja, i tjerahu sa sobom velik plijen; a Avenir veæ ne bješe kod Davida u Hevronu, jer ga otpusti, te otide s mirom.
23 When Joab and all the army that was with him arrived, he was told, “Abner, son of Ner, came to see the king, who sent him safely on his way.”
Joav dakle i sva vojska što bješe s njim doðoše onamo; i javiše Joavu govoreæi: Avenir sin Nirov dolazio je k caru, i on ga otpusti te otide s mirom.
24 Joab went to the king and asked, “What do you think you're doing? Here's Abner, who came to see you. Why on earth did you send him on his way? Now he's got clean away!
I Joav otide k caru i reèe: šta uèini? Gle, Avenir je dolazio k tebi; zašto ga pusti te otide?
25 You do see that Abner, son of Ner, came here to trick you, to spy on the movements of your army, and to find out everything you're doing!”
Poznaješ li Avenira sina Nirova? dolazio je da te prevari, da vidi kuda hodiš i da dozna sve šta radiš.
26 When Joab left David, he sent messengers after Abner. They met up with him at the well of Sirah and brought him back, but David didn't know anything about it.
Potom otišav Joav od Davida posla ljude za Avenirom da ga vrate od studenca Sire, a David ne znadijaše za to.
27 When Abner arrived back in Hebron, Joab took him aside into the town gatehouse as if he was going to talk with him in private. But Joab stabbed him in the belly, killing him in revenge for killing Joab's brother Asahel.
I kad se vrati Avenir u Hevron, odvede ga Joav na stranu pod vrata kao da govori s njim nasamo; ondje ga udari pod peto rebro, te umrije za krv Asaila brata njegova.
28 When David heard about this later he said, “I and my kingdom are totally innocent before the Lord regarding the death of Abner, son of Ner!
A kad David poslije to èu, reèe: ja nijesam kriv ni carstvo moje pred Gospodom dovijeka za krv Avenira sina Nirova.
29 May the guilt for his death fall on Joab and his family! May Joab's descendants always have someone who has running sores or leprosy or is crippled or who is killed by the sword or who is starving.”
Neka padne na glavu Joavovu i na sav dom oca njegova; i neka dom Joavov ne bude nikad bez èovjeka bolna od teèenja ili gubava ili koji ide o štapu ili koji padne od maèa ili koji nema hljeba.
30 (This is why Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel during the battle at Gibeon.)
Tako Joav i Avisaj brat njegov ubiše Avenira što on pogubi Asaila brata njihova kod Gavaona u boju.
31 Then David ordered Joab and everyone who was there, “Tear your clothes, put on sackcloth, and mourn for Abner.” King David himself followed the body as it was carried to the grave.
I reèe David Joavu i svemu narodu koji bijaše s njim: razderite haljine svoje i pripašite kostrijet, i plaèite za Avenirom. I car David iðaše za nosilima.
32 They buried Abner in Hebron, and the king cried loudly at the grave, along with all the people.
A kad pogreboše Avenira u Hevronu, car podiže glas svoj i plaka na grobu Avenirovu; plaka i sav narod.
33 The king sang this lament for Abner: “Did Abner deserve to die like a criminal?
I narièuæi za Avenirom reèe: umrije li Avenir kako umire bezumnik?
34 Your hands were not tied together, your feet were not in shackles. But just like a murderer's victim, you too were killed.” All the people cried for him even more.
Ruke tvoje ne biše vezane, niti noge tvoje u okov okovane; pao si kao što se pada od nevaljalijeh ljudi. Tada još veæma plaka za njim sav narod.
35 Then people came to David and tried to persuade him to have something to eat during the day. But David swore an oath, saying, “May God punish me severely if I eat bread or anything else before sunset!”
I doðe sav narod nudeæi Davida da jede što, dok još bijaše dan; ali se David zakle i reèe: Bog neka mi uèini tako, i tako neka doda, ako okusim hljeba ili što drugo dok ne zaðe sunce.
36 Everyone saw this and thought it was the right thing to do, in the same way that they thought everything the king did was the right thing to do.
I sav narod èu to, i bi im po volji; što god èinjaše car, bješe po volji svemu narodu.
37 That day everyone in Judah and throughout Israel realized that David had not ordered Abner's murder.
I pozna sav narod i sav Izrailj u onaj dan da nije bilo od cara što pogibe Avenir sin Nirov.
38 Then the king said to his officers, “Don't you recognize that a commander and a truly great man has fallen in Israel today?
I car reèe slugama svojim: ne znate li da je vojvoda i to veliki poginuo danas u Izrailju?
39 I am weak right now, even though I'm anointed as king and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too powerful for me. But may the Lord repay the evil man according to the evil he has done.”
Ali ja sam sada još slab, ako i jesam pomazani car; a ovi ljudi, sinovi Serujini, vrlo su mi silni. Neka Gospod plati onome koji èini zlo prema zloæi njegovoj.
