< 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.
Torej tam je bila dolga vojna med Savlovo hišo in Davidovo hišo, toda David je postajal močnejši in močnejši, Savlova hiša pa je postajala šibkejša in šibkejša.
2 David's sons born at Hebron were: Amnon (firstborn), by Ahinoam from Jezreel;
Davidu so se v Hebrónu rodili sinovi. Njegov prvorojenec je bil Amnón; od Jezreélke Ahinóam;
3 Chileab (second), by Abigail, Nabal's widow from Carmel; Absalom (third), by Maacah, daughter of King Talmai of Geshur:
in njegov drugi Kiláb od Abigájile, žene Karmelčana Nabála in tretji Absalom, sin Maáhe, hčere gešurskega kralja Talmája;
4 Adonijah (fourth), by Haggith; Shephatiah (fifth), by Abital;
in četrti Adoníja, Hagítin sin; in peti Šefatjá, sin Abitále;
5 Ithream (sixth), by David's wife Eglah. These were the sons born to David at Hebron.
in šesti Jitreám od Davidove žene Egle. Ti so bili rojeni Davidu v Hebrónu.
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.
Pripetilo se je, medtem ko je bila vojna med Savlovo hišo in Davidovo hišo, da je Abnêr sebe naredil močnega za Savlovo hišo.
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?”
Savel je imel priležnico, ki ji je bilo ime Ricpa, Ajájeva hči in Iš Bošet je rekel Abnêrju: »Zakaj si odšel k priležnici mojega očeta?«
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!
Potem je bil Abnêr zelo ogorčen zaradi besed Iš Bošeta in je rekel: » Mar sem pasja glava, ko ta dan zoper Juda izkazujem prijaznost hiši tvojega očeta Savla, njegovim bratom in njegovim prijateljem in te nisem izročil v Davidovo roko, da me danes obsojaš s krivdo glede te ženske?
9 So now may God punish me severely if I don't help David achieve what the Lord has promised him.
Tako stori Bog Abnêrju in še več, razen če, kakor je Gospod prisegel Davidu, celo tako jaz storim njemu,
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 kraljestvo prestavi od Savlove hiše in da postavi Davidov prestol čez Izraela in čez Juda, od Dana, celo do Beeršébe.«
11 Ishbosheth didn't dare to say anything else to Abner because he was frightened of him.
In ni mogel Abnêrju ponovno odgovoriti besede, ker se ga je bal.
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.”
Abnêr pa je v svojem imenu poslal poslance k Davidu, rekoč: »Čigava je ta dežela?« Rekoč tudi: »Skleni zavezo z menoj in glej, moja roka bo s teboj, da k tebi privedem ves Izrael.«
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.”
Rekel je: »Dobro. Jaz bom sklenil zavezo s teboj, toda od tebe zahtevam eno stvar, to je: ›Ne boš videl mojega obraza, razen če mi najprej ne pripelješ Savlove hčere Mihále, ko prideš, da vidiš moj obraz.‹«
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.”
David je poslal poslance k Savlovemu sinu Iš Bošetu, rekoč: »Izroči mi mojo ženo Mihálo, ki sem si jo zaročil za sto prednjih kožic Filistejcev.«
15 Ishbosheth sent for her and took her away from her husband Paltiel, son of Laish.
Iš Bošet je poslal in jo vzel od njenega soproga, torej od Lajiševega sina Paltíela.
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.
Njen soprog je odšel skupaj z njo, jokajoč za njo, do Bahuríma. Potem mu je Abnêr rekel: »Pojdi, vrni se.« In se je vrnil.
17 Abner spoke with the elders of Israel and said, “For a while now you have wanted to have David as your king.
Abnêr je imel pogovor z Izraelovimi starešinami, rekoč: »V preteklih časih ste iskali za Davidom, da bi bil kralj nad vami.
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.’”
Sedaj torej to storite, kajti Gospod je govoril o Davidu, rekoč: ›Po roki svojega služabnika Davida bom rešil svoje ljudstvo Izraela iz roke Filistejcev in iz roke vseh njihovih sovražnikov.‹«
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.
Abnêr je govoril tudi na ušesa Benjamina in Abnêr je odšel, da govori tudi na Davidova ušesa v Hebrónu. Vse to se je zdelo dobro Izraelu in to se je zdelo dobro celotni Benjaminovi hiši.
20 Abner came with twenty of his men to see David at Hebron, and David prepared a feast for them.
Tako je Abnêr prišel k Davidu v Hebrón in z njim dvajset mož. David je naredil zabavo za Abnêrja in može, ki so bili z 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.
Abnêr je rekel Davidu: »Vstal bom in šel in ves Izrael bom zbral k svojemu gospodu kralju, da bodo lahko s teboj sklenili zavezo in da boš lahko kraljeval nad vsem, kar si tvoje srce želi.« David je poslal Abnêrja proč in ta je odšel v miru.
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.
Glej, Davidovi služabniki in Joáb so prišli iz zasledovanja krdela in s seboj prinesli velik plen, toda Abnêr ni bil z Davidom v Hebrónu, kajti poslal ga je proč in ta je odšel v miru.
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.”
Ko so prišli Joáb in vsa vojska, ki je bila z njim, so Joábu povedali, rekoč: »Nerov sin Abnêr je prišel h kralju in ta ga je poslal proč in je odšel v miru.«
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!
Potem je Joáb prišel h kralju in rekel: »Kaj si storil? Glej, Abnêr je prišel k tebi. Zakaj je to, da si ga poslal proč in je on popolnoma izginil?
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!”
Ti poznaš Nerovega sina Abnêrja, da je prišel, da te zavede in da spozna tvoja odhajanja in tvoja prihajanja in da spozna vse, kar delaš.«
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.
Ko je Joáb prišel od Davida, je za Abnêrjem poslal poslance, ki so ga ponovno privedli od vodnjaka Sire. Toda David tega ni vedel.
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.
Ko se je Abnêr vrnil v Hebrón, ga je Joáb vzel na stran, v velika vrata, da bi tiho govoril z njim in ga tam udaril pod petim rebrom, da je umrl zaradi krvi njegovega brata Asaéla.
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!
Potem ko je David to slišal, je rekel: »Jaz in moje kraljestvo sva brez krivde pred Gospodom na veke pred krvjo Nerovega sina Abnêrja.
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.”
Ta naj počiva na Joábovi glavi in na vsej hiši njegovega očeta in naj iz Joábove hiše ne zmanjka tistega, ki ima izliv ali je gobavec ali se naslanja na palico ali pada na meč ali mu primanjkuje kruha.«
30 (This is why Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel during the battle at Gibeon.)
Tako sta Joáb in njegov brat Abišáj umorila Abnêrja, ker je ubil njunega brata Asaéla v bitki pri Gibeónu.
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.
David je rekel Joábu in vsemu ljudstvu, ki je bilo z njim: »Pretrgajte svoja oblačila in se opašite z vrečevino in žalujte pred Abnêrjem.« In sam kralj David je sledil mrtvaškemu odru.
32 They buried Abner in Hebron, and the king cried loudly at the grave, along with all the people.
Abnêrja so pokopali v Hebrónu. Kralj je povzdignil svoj glas in jokal nad Abnêrjevim grobom in vse ljudstvo je jokalo.
33 The king sang this lament for Abner: “Did Abner deserve to die like a criminal?
Kralj je žaloval nad Abnêrjem in rekel: »Je Abnêr umrl, kakor umira bedak?
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.
Tvoje roke niso bile zvezane niti tvoja stopala, vklenjena v okove. Kakor mož pada pred zlobneži, tako padaš ti.« In vse ljudstvo je ponovno jokalo nad njim.
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!”
Ko je vse ljudstvo prišlo, da povzročijo Davidu, da jé hrano, medtem ko je bil še dan, je David prisegel, rekoč: »Tako naj mi Bog stori in še več, če okusim kruh ali karkoli drugega, dokler sonce ne zaide.«
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.
Vse ljudstvo je to opazilo in to jim je ugajalo, kakor karkoli je kralj storil, je vsemu ljudstvu ugajalo.
37 That day everyone in Judah and throughout Israel realized that David had not ordered Abner's murder.
Kajti vse ljudstvo in ves Izrael je ta dan razumelo, da to ni bilo od kralja, da umori Nerovega sina Abnêrja.
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?
Kralj je rekel svojim služabnikom: »Ali ne veste, da je ta dan tukaj v Izraelu padel princ in velik mož?
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.”
Jaz sem ta dan šibek, čeprav maziljen kralj in ti možje, Cerújini sinovi, so pretežki zame. Gospod bo hudodelca nagradil glede na njegovo zlobnost.«
