< Kings II 21 >
1 And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the Lord. And the Lord said, [There is] guilt upon Saul and his house because of his bloody murder, whereby he killed the Gabaonites.
И би глад за времена Давидовог три године заредом. И Давид потражи лице Господње; а Господ му рече: То је са Саула и с дома његовог крвничког, што погуби Гаваоњане.
2 And King David called the Gabaonites, and said to them; —(now the Gabaonites are not the children of Israel, but [are] of the remnant of the Amorite, and the children of Israel had sworn to them: but Saul sought to strike them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Juda.)
Тада цар сазва Гаваоњане и говори им. А Гаваоњани не беху од синова Израиљевих, него остатак од Амореја, којима се беху заклели синови Израиљеви, али Саул гледаше да их побије ревнујући за синове Израиљеве и Јудине.
3 And David said to the Gabaonites, What shall I do to you? and wherewithal shall I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of the Lord?
И рече Давид Гаваоњанима: Шта да вам учиним и чим да вас намирим, да благословите достојање Господње?
4 And the Gabaonites said to him, We have no [question about] silver or gold with Saul and with his house; and there is no man for us to put to death in Israel.
А Гаваоњани му рекоше: Не тражимо ни сребро ни злато од Саула или од дома његовог, нити да се ко погуби у Израиљу. А он рече: Шта дакле велите да вам учиним?
5 And he said, What say you? speak, and I will do it for you. And they said to the king, The man who would have made an end of us, and persecuted us, who plotted against us to destroy us, let us utterly destroy him, so that he shall have no standing in all the coasts of Israel.
Тада рекоше цару: Ко нас је потро и радио да нас истреби, да нас не буде нигде у међама Израиљевим,
6 Let one give us seven men of his sons, and let us hang them up in the sun to the Lord in Gabaon of Saul, as chosen out for the Lord. And the king said, I will give [them].
Од његових синова нека нам се да седам људи да их обесимо Господу у Гаваји Саула изабраника Господњег. И рече цар: Ја ћу дати.
7 But the king spared Memphibosthe son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord that was between them, even between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
Али цар поштеде Мефивостеја сина Јонатана сина Сауловог ради заклетве Господње, која би међу њима, међу Давидом и Јонатаном сином Сауловим.
8 And the king took the two sons of Respha the daughter of Aia, whom she bore to Saul, Hermonoi and Memphibosthe, and the five sons of Michol daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Esdriel son of Berzelli the Moulathite.
И узе цар два сина Ресфе, кћери Ајине, које роди Саулу, Армонија и Мефивостеја, и пет синова Михале кћери Саулове, које роди Адрилу сину Варзелаја Меолаћанина.
9 And he gave them into the hand of the Gabaonites, and they hanged them up to the sun in the mountain before the lord: and they fell, even the seven together: moreover they were put to death in the days of harvest at the commencement, in the beginning of barley harvest.
И даде их у руке Гаваоњанима, а они их обесише на гори пред Господом; и сва седморица погибоше заједно; а бише убијени првих дана жетве, у почетку јечмене жетве.
10 And Respha the daughter of Aia took sackcloth, and fixed it for herself on the rock in the beginning of barley harvest, until water dropped upon them out of heaven: and she did not suffer the birds of the air to rest upon them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
А Ресфа кћи Ајина узе врећу, и простре по стени у почетку жетве докле не паде на њих дажд са неба, и не даде птицама небеским да падају на њих дању ни зверима пољским ноћу.
11 And it was told David what Respha the daughter of Aia the concubine of Saul had done, [and they were faint, and Dan, the son of Joa of the offspring of the giants overtook them.]
И јавише Давиду шта учини Ресфа кћи Ајина, иноча Саулова.
12 And David went and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the men of the sons of Jabis Galaad, who stole them from the street of Baethsan; for the Philistines set them there in the day in which the Philistines struck Saul in Gelbue.
И Давид отиде те узе кости Саулове и кости Јонатана сина његовог од грађана у Јавису Галадовом, који их беху украли с улице вет-санске, где их обесише Филистеји кад убише Филистеји Саула на Гелвуји.
13 And he carried up thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and gathered the bones of them that had been hanged.
И однесе оданде кости Саулове и кости Јонатана сина његовог, па скупише и кости обешених.
14 And they buried the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and the bones of them that had been hanged, in the land of Benjamin in the hill, in the sepulchre of Cis his father; and they did all things that the king commanded: and after this God listened to [the prayers of] the land.
И погребоше их с костима Сауловим и Јонатана сина његовог у земљи Венијаминовој у Сили, у гробу Киса оца његовог, и учинише све како заповеди цар. Тако се после тога умилостиви Господ земљи.
15 And there was yet war between the Philistines and Israel: and David went down and his servants with him, and they fought with the Philistines, and David went.
И наста опет рат између Филистеја и Израиља, и Давид отиде са слугама својим, и тукоше се с Филистејима тако да Давид суста.
16 And Jesbi, who was of the progeny of Rapha, and the head of whose spear [was] three hundred shekels of brass in weight, who also was girded with a club, even he thought to strike David.
Тада Јесви-Венов, који беше од синова Рафајевих, и у копљу му беше триста сикала бронзе, и имаше ново оружје, хтеде да убије Давида.
17 And Abessa the son of Saruia helped him and struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore, saying, You shall not any longer go out with us to battle, and you shall not quench the lamp of Israel.
Али му поможе Ависај, син Серујин, и удари Филистејина и уби га. Тада се заклеше људи Давидови рекавши му: Нећеш више ићи с нама у бој да не угасиш видело Израиљево.
18 And after this there was a battle again with the Philistines in Geth: then Sebocha the Astatothite killed Seph of the progeny of Rapha.
После тога наста опет рат с Филистејима у Гову; и тада Сивехај Хусаћанин уби Сафа, који беше од синова Рафајевих.
19 And there was a battle in Rom with the Philistines; and Eleanan son of Ariorgim the Bethleemite killed Goliath the Gittite; and the staff of his spear [was] as a weaver's beam.
И опет наста други рат у Гову с Филистејима; и тада Елханан, син Јаре-Орегимов Витлејемац, уби брата Голијата Гетејина, коме копљача беше као вратило.
20 And there was yet a battle in Geth: and there was a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands and the toes of his feet [were] six on each, four and twenty in number: and he also was born to Rapha.
И опет наста рат у Гату, где беше један човек врло висок, који имаше по шест прста на рукама и на ногама, свега двадесет и четири, и он беше такође рода Рафајевог.
21 And he defied Israel, and Jonathan son of Semei brother of David, struck him.
И ружаше Израиља те га уби Јонатан, син Саме, брата Давидовог.
22 These four were born descendants of the giants in Geth, the family of Rapha; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Та четворица беху синови истог Рафаја из Гата, и погибоше од руке Давидове и од руке слуга његових.
