2 Samuel 2
1 AND it came to pass after this, that David inquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the Lord said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
А после тога Давид упита Господа говорећи: Хоћу ли отићи у који град Јудин? А Господ му рече: Отиди. А Давид рече: У који да отидем? Рече: Хеврон.
2 So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal’s wife the Carmelite.
И Давид отиде онамо са две жене своје, Ахиноамом из Језраела и Авигејом која пре беше жена Навала из Кармила.
3 And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
И људе који беху с њим одведе Давид, све с породицама њиховим, и настанише се по градовима хевронским.
4 And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabesh-gilead were they that buried Saul.
И дођоше људи од Јуде, и помазаше онде Давида за цара над домом Јудиним. И јавише Давиду говорећи: Људи из Јависа Галадовог погребоше Саула.
5 And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the Lord, that ye have shewed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.
И Давид посла посланике к људима у Јавису Галадовом, и рече им: Да сте благословени Господу што учинисте милост господару свом, Саулу и погребосте га.
6 And now the Lord shew kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.
Зато да учини Господ вама милост и веру; а ја ћу вам учинити добро, што сте то учинили.
7 Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
И нека вам се укрепе руке и будите храбри; јер Саул, господар ваш, погибе, а дом Јудин помаза мене за цара над собом.
8 But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s host, took Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
Али Авенир, син Ниров, војвода Саулов узе Исвостеја сина Сауловог, и одведе га у Маханајим.
9 And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
И зацари га над Галадом и над Асуром и Језраелом и Јефремом и Венијамином и над свим Израиљем.
10 Ish-bosheth Saul’s son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
Четрдесет година беше Исвостеју сину Сауловом кад поче царовати над Израиљем; и царова две године. Само дом Јудин држаше се Давида.
11 And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
А Давид царова у Хеврону над домом Јудиним седам година и шест месеци.
12 And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
Потом изиђе Авенир, син Ниров, и слуге Исвостеја сина Сауловог из Маханајима у Гаваон.
13 And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
Такође и Јоав син Серујин и слуге Давидове изиђоше и сретоше се с њима код језера гаваонског, и стадоше један с једне стране а други с друге стране.
14 And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
Тада рече Авенир Јоаву: Нека устану момци и нека се проиграју пред нама. И рече Јоав: Нека устану.
15 Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
И устадоше, и изиђоше на број: дванаест од Венијамина са стране Исвостеја сина Сауловог, и дванаест између слуга Давидових.
16 And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
И ухватише један другог за главу, и тисну један другом мач свој у бок, и попадаше заједно. Отуда се прозва оно место Халкат-Асурим код Гаваона.
17 And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
И би жесток бој оног дана; и слуге Давидове разбише Авенира и Израиљце.
18 And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.
А онде беху три сина Серујина: Јоав и Ависај и Асаило. А Асаило беше лак на ногу као срна у пољу;
19 And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
И потера Асаило Авенира, и не сврну ни надесно ни налево иза Авенира.
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, I am.
И Авенир обазре се натраг и рече: Јеси ли ти, Асаило? А он рече: Ја сам.
21 And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him.
А Авенир му рече: Сврни надесно или налево, и узми једног од тих момака, и скини одору с њега. Али не хте Асаило сврнути иза њега.
22 And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?
И Авенир опет рече Асаилу: Одступи од мене; зашто да те саставим са земљом? И како бих смео погледати у Јоава брата твог?
23 Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth rib, that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
Али он не хте одступити; и Авенир га удари копљем под пето ребро, и изађе му копље на леђа, те он паде онде и умре на месту. И ко год дође на оно место где паде и погибе Асаило, устављаше се.
24 Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
Али Јоав и Ависај потераше Авенира, и сунце зађе кад дођоше до брда Аме, која је према Гији на путу у пустињу гаваонску.
25 And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill.
И скупише се синови Венијаминови за Авениром, те се начини чета, и стадоше на врх једног брда.
26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?
И Авенир викну Јоава и рече: Хоће ли мач прождирати довека? Не знаш ли да јади бивају напослетку? Зашто већ не кажеш народу да се прођу браће своје?
27 And Joab said, As God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
А Јоав рече: Тако жив био Бог, да ниси казао, народ би још јутрос отишао, ниједан не би терао брата свог.
28 So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
Тада затруби Јоав у трубу, и устави се сав народ и престаше терати Израиља, и не бише се више.
29 And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
И тако Авенир и људи његови идоше преко поља целу ону ноћ, и пређоше преко Јордана, и прошавши сав Витрон дођоше у Маханајим.
30 And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David’s servants nineteen men and Asahel.
А Јоав се врати од Авенира, и кад скупи сав народ, не беше од слуга Давидових деветнаест људи и Асаила.
31 But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner’s men, so that three hundred and threescore men died.
Али слуге Давидове побише синова Венијаминових, људи Авенирових, три стотине и шездесет људи, који изгибоше.
32 And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Beth-lehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
А Асаила узеше и погребоше у гробу оца његовог који беше у Витлејему. И Јоав и људи његови идоше сву ноћ, и освануше у Хеврону.
