2 Samuel 17
1 Moreouer Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me chuse out now twelue thousand men, and I will vp and follow after Dauid this night,
Poleg tega je Ahitófel rekel Absalomu. »Naj sedaj izberem dvanajst tisoč mož in vstal bom in to noč zasledoval Davida
2 And I will come vpon him: for he is wearie, and weake handed: so I will feare him, and all the people that are with him, shall flee, and I will smite the King onely,
in prišel bom nadenj, medtem ko je izmučen in slabotnih rok in ga prestrašil. Vse ljudstvo, ki je z njim, bo pobegnilo, udaril pa bom samo kralja
3 And I will bring againe all the people vnto thee, and when all shall returne, (the man whome thou seekest being slaine) all the people shalbe in peace.
in vse ljudstvo bom privedel nazaj k tebi. Mož, ki ga iščeš, je kakor, če se vsi vrnejo; tako bo vse ljudstvo v miru.«
4 And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the Elders of Israel.
Beseda je dobro ugajala Absalomu in vsem Izraelovim starešinam.
5 Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let vs heare likewise what he sayth.
Potem je Absalom rekel: »Pokličite sedaj tudi Arkéjca Hušája in naj slišimo tudi, kaj pravi on.«
6 So when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom spake vnto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken thus: shall we doe after his saying, or no? tell thou.
Ko je Hušáj prišel k Absalomu, mu je Absalom spregovoril, rekoč: »Ahitófel je govoril na ta način. Ali naj storimo po njegovem govoru? Če ne, ti spregovori.«
7 Hushai then answered vnto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath giuen, is not good at this time.
Hušáj je rekel Absalomu: »Nasvet, ki ti ga je tokrat dal Ahitófel, ni dober.
8 For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father, and his men, that they be strong men, and are chafed in minde as a beare robbed of her whelps in the fielde: also thy father is a valiant warrier, and will not lodge with the people.
Kajti, « je rekel Hušáj, »poznaš svojega očeta in njegove može, da so mogočni možje in v svojih mislih komaj čakajo, kakor medvedka, oropana svojih mladičev, na polju. In tvoj oče je bojevnik in ne bo prenočeval z ljudstvom.
9 Behold, he is hid now in some caue, or in some place: and though some of them be ouerthrowen at the first, yet the people shall heare, and say, The people that follow Absalom, be ouerthrowen.
Glej, sedaj je skrit v neki jami ali na nekem drugem kraju. In zgodilo se bo, ko bodo na začetku nekateri izmed njih premagani, da kdorkoli to sliši, bo rekel: ›Tam je pokol med ljudstvom, ki sledijo Absalomu.‹
10 Then he also that is valiant whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall shrinke and faint: for all Israel knoweth, that thy father is valiant, and they which be with him, stout men.
Tudi tisti, ki je hraber, katerega srce je kakor srce leva, se bo popolnoma stopil, kajti ves Izrael ve, da je tvoj oče mogočen človek in tisti, ki so z njim, so hrabri možje.
11 Therefore my counsell is, that all Israel be gathered vnto thee, from Dan euen to Beer-sheba as the sand of the sea in nomber, and that thou goe to battell in thine owne person.
Zato svetujem, da se ves Izrael nasploh zbere k tebi, od Dana, celo do Beeršébe, kakor je peska, ki je pri morju zaradi množice in da greš ti osebno v bitko.
12 So shall we come vpon him in some place, where we shall finde him, and we will vpon him as the dewe falleth on the ground: and of all the men that are with him, wee will not leaue him one.
Tako bomo prišli nadenj na nekem kraju, kjer bo najden in posvetili bomo nanj, kakor rosa pada na tla in od njega in od vseh mož, ki so z njim, tam ne bo nihče ostal.
13 Moreouer if he be gotten into a citie, then shall all the men of Israel bring ropes to that citie, and we will draw it into the riuer, vntill there be not one small stone founde there.
Poleg tega, če bo odšel v mesto, potem bo ves Izrael do tega mesta prinesel vrvi in potegnili ga bomo v reko, dokler ne bo tam najden niti en majhen kamen.«
14 Then Absalom and all the men of Israel sayde, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better, then the counsell of Ahithophel: for the Lord had determined to destroy the good counsell of Ahithophel, that the Lord might bring euill vpon Absalom.
Absalom in vsi možje iz Izraela so rekli: »Nasvet Arkéjca Hušája je boljši kakor nasvet Ahitófela.« Kajti Gospod je določil, da porazi dober Ahitófelov nasvet, z namenom, da bo Gospod lahko privedel zlo nad Absaloma.
15 Then said Hushai vnto Zadok and to Abiathar the Priests, Of this and that maner did Ahithophel and the Elders of Israel counsell Absalom: and thus and thus haue I counseled.
Potem je Hušáj rekel Cadóku in duhovniku Abjatárju: »Tako in tako je Ahitófel svetoval Absalomu in starešinam Izraela, in tako in tako sem svetoval jaz.
16 Now therefore sende quickely, and shewe Dauid, saying, Tarie not this night in the fieldes of the wildernesse, but rather get thee ouer, lest the King be deuoured and all the people that are with him.
Zdaj torej hitro pošlji in povej Davidu, rekoč: ›To noč ne prenočuj na ravninah divjine, temveč naglo prečkaj, da te ne bi kralj požrl in vse ljudstvo, ki je z njim.‹«
17 Now Ionathan and Ahimaaz abode by En-rogel: (for they might not be seene to come into the citie) and a maid went, and tolde them, and they went and shewed King Dauid.
Torej Jonatan in Ahimáac sta ostala v En Rogelu, kajti nista smela biti videna, da pridete v mesto. In deklina je odšla in jima povedala. Odšla sta ter povedala kralju Davidu.
18 Neuerthelesse a yong man sawe them, and tolde it to Absalom. therefore they both departed quickely, and came to a mans house in Bahurim, who had a well in his court, into the which they went downe.
Kljub temu ju je videl deček in povedal Absalomu. Toda oba izmed njiju sta hitro odšla proč in prišla k hiši človeka v Bahurímu, ki je na svojem dvorišču imela vodnjak, kamor sta se spustila.
19 And the wife tooke and spred a couering ouer the welles mouth, and spred ground corne thereon, that the thing should not be knowen.
Ženska je vzela [pokrivalo] in pokrivalo razprostrla čez ustje vodnjaka in nanj raztresla zmleto žito in stvar ni bila znana.
20 And when Absaloms seruants came to the wife into the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz and Ionathan? And the woman answered them, They be gone ouer the brooke of water. And when they had sought them, and could not finde them, they returned to Ierusalem.
Ko so Absalomovi služabniki prišli v hišo k ženski, so rekli: »Kje sta Ahimáac in Jonatan?« Ženska jim je rekla: »Odšla sta čez vodni potok.« Ko pa so ju iskali in ju niso mogli najti, so se vrnili v Jeruzalem.
21 And assoone as they were departed, the other came out of the well, and went and tolde King Dauid, and sayde vnto him, Vp, and get you quickely ouer the water: for such counsell hath Ahithophel giuen against you.
Pripetilo se je, potem ko so odšli, da sta prišla ven iz vodnjaka in odšla in kralju Davidu povedala in Davidu rekla: »Vstani in hitro prečkaj vodo, kajti Ahitófel je tako svetoval zoper tebe.«
22 Then Dauid arose, and all the people that were with him, and they went ouer Iorden vntil the dawning of the day, so that there lacked not one of them, that was not come ouer Iorden.
Potem je David vstal in vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim in so prečkali Jordan. Do jutranje svetlobe ni manjkal niti eden izmed teh, ki so prečkali Jordan.
23 Nowe when Ahithophel sawe that his counsell was not followed, he sadled his asse, and arose, and he went home vnto his citie, and put his houshold in order, and hanged him selfe, and dyed, and was buryed in his fathers graue.
Ko je Ahitófel videl, da njegov nasvet ni bil sleden, je osedlal svojega osla, vstal in se spravil domov k svoji hiši, k svojemu mestu in svojo družino postavil v red in samega sebe obesil in umrl in bil pokopan v mavzoleju svojega očeta.
24 Then Dauid came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed ouer Iorden, he, and all the men of Israel with him.
Potem je David prišel v Mahanájim. Absalom pa je prečkal Jordan, on in vsi možje iz Izraela z njim.
25 And Absalom made Amasa captaine of the hoste in the stead of Ioab: which Amasa was a mans sonne named Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Ioabs mother.
Absalom je namesto Joába za poveljnika vojske postavil Amasája. Ta Amasá je bil sin moža, katerega ime je bilo Itra, Izraelec, ki je odšel noter k Naháševi hčeri Abigájili, sestri Joábove matere Cerúje.
26 So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead.
Tako so Izrael in Absalom taborili v deželi Gileád.
27 And when Dauid was come to Mahanaim, Shobi the sonne of Nahash out of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the sonne of Ammiel out of Lo-debar, and Barzelai the Gileadite out of Rogel
Pripetilo se je, ko je David prišel v Mahanájim, da so Nahášev sin Šobí, iz Rabe Amónovih otrok in Amiélov sin Mahír iz Lo Dabárja in Gileádec Barziláj iz Roglíma
28 Brought beds, and basens, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and floure, and parched corne, and beanes, and lentiles, and parched corne.
prinesli postelje, umivalnike, lončene posode ter pšenico, ječmen, moko, praženo zrnje, fižol, lečo, posušene stročnice,
29 And they brought hony, and butter, and sheepe, and cheese of kine for Dauid and for the people that were with him, to eate: for they said, The people is hungry, and wearie, and thirstie in the wildernesse.
med, maslo, ovce in kravji sir za Davida in za ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, da jedo, kajti rekli so: »Ljudstvo je lačno, izmučeno in žejno v divjini.«
