< Kings II 4 >
1 And Jebosthe the son of Saul heard that Abenner the son of Ner had died in Chebron; and his hands were paralyzed, and all the men of Israel grew faint.
А кад чу син Саулов да је погинуо Авенир у Хеврону, клонуше му руке, и сав се Израиљ смете.
2 And Jebosthe the son of Saul had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one [was] Baana, and the name of the other Rechab, sons of Remmon the Berothite of the children of Benjamin; for Beroth was reckoned to the children of Benjamin.
А имаше син Саулов две војводе над четама; једном беше име Вана, другом беше име Рихав, синови Римона Вироћанина, од синова Венијаминових; јер се и Вирот бројаше Венијамину;
3 And the Berothites ran away to Gethaim, and were sojourners there until this day.
А Вироћани беху побегли у Гитајим, где осташе као дошљаци до данашњег дана.
4 And Jonathan Saul's son [had] a son lame of his feet, five years old, and he was [in the way] when the news of Saul and Jonathan his son came from Jezrael, and his nurse took him up, and fled; and it came to pass as he hasted and retreated, that he fell, and was lamed. And his name [was] Memphibosthe.
И имаше Јонатан, син Саулов, сина хромог на ногу, коме беше пет година кад дође глас о смрти Сауловој и Јонатановој из Језраела, те га узе дадиља његова и побеже, и кад брзо бежаше, он паде и охрону; а име му беше Мефивостеј.
5 And Rechab and Baana the sons of Remmon the Berothite went, and they came in the heat of the day into the house of Jebosthe; and he was sleeping on a bed at noon.
И пођоше синови Римона Вироћанина, Рихав и Вана, и дођоше у подне у кућу Исвостејеву; а он почиваше у подне.
6 And, behold, the porter of the house winnowed wheat, and he slumbered and slept: and the brothers Rechab and Baana went privily into the house:
И уђоше у кућу као да узму пшенице, и прободоше га под пето ребро Рихав и Вана, и побегоше.
7 And Jebosthe was sleeping on his bed in his chamber: and they strike him, and kill him, and take off his head: and they took his head, and went all the night by the western road.
Кад уђоше у кућу, он лежаше на постељи својој у клети где спаваше, те га прободоше и убише, и одсекоше му главу и узеше је, па отидоше путем преко поља целу ону ноћ.
8 And they brought the head of Jebosthe to David to Chebron, and they said to the king, Behold the head of Jebosthe the son of Saul your enemy, who sought your life; and the Lord has executed for my lord the king vengeance on his enemies, as [it is] this day: even on Saul your enemy, and on his seed.
И донесоше главу Исвостејеву Давиду у Хеврон, и рекоше цару: Ево главе Исвостеја сина Сауловог, непријатеља твог, који је тражио душу твоју; и Господ освети данас цара, господара мог, од Саула и семена његовог.
9 And David answered and Rechab and Baana his brother, the sons of Remmon the Berothite, and said to them, [As] the Lord lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all affliction;
Али Давид одговарајући Рихаву и Вану, брату његовом, синовима Римона Вироћанина, рече им: Тако да је жив Господ, који је избавио душу моју из сваке невоље.
10 he that reported to me that Saul was dead, even he was as one bringing glad tidings before me: but I seized him and killed him in Sekelac, to whom I ought, [as he thought], to have given a reward for his tidings.
Кад оног који ми јави говорећи: Гле, погибе Саул, и мишљаше да ће ми јавити добре гласе, ухватих и убих у Сиклагу, и то му би од мене дар за гласе његове,
11 And now evil men have slain a righteous men in his house on his bed: now then I will require his blood of your hand, and I will destroy you from off the earth.
А камоли људе безбожне, који убише човека правог, у кући његовој, на постељи његовој! Нећу ли тражити крв његову из ваших руку, и вас истребити са земље?
12 And David commanded his young men, and they kill them, and cut off their hands and their feet; and they hung them up at the fountain in Chebron: and they buried the head of Jebosthe in the tomb of Abenezer the son of Ner.
И заповеди Давид момцима својим, те их погубише, и одсекоше им руке и ноге, и обесише код језера хевронског; а главу Исвостејеву узеше и погребоше у гробу Авенировом у Хеврону.
