2 Samuel 17
1 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Please let me choose twelve thousand men, and I arise and pursue after David tonight,
Poleg tega je Ahitófel rekel Absalomu. »Naj sedaj izberem dvanajst tisoč mož in vstal bom in to noč zasledoval Davida
2 and come on him, and he [will be] weary and feeble-handed, and I have caused him to tremble, and all the people who [are] with him have fled, and I have struck the king by himself,
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 bring back all the people to you—as the turning back of the whole [except] the man whom you are seeking—[then] all the people are [at] 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 word is right in the eyes of Absalom, and in the eyes of all [the] elderly of Israel.
Beseda je dobro ugajala Absalomu in vsem Izraelovim starešinam.
5 And Absalom says, “Now call for Hushai the Archite also, and we hear what [is] in his mouth—even he.”
Potem je Absalom rekel: »Pokličite sedaj tudi Arkéjca Hušája in naj slišimo tudi, kaj pravi on.«
6 And Hushai comes to Absalom, and Absalom speaks to him, saying, “According to this word Ahithophel has spoken; do we do his word? If not, you—speak.”
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 And Hushai says to Absalom, “The counsel that Ahithophel has counseled [is] not good at this time.”
Hušáj je rekel Absalomu: »Nasvet, ki ti ga je tokrat dal Ahitófel, ni dober.
8 And Hushai says, “You have known your father and his men, that they [are] heroes, and they are bitter in soul as a bereaved bear in a field, and your father [is] a man of war, and does 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, now, he is hidden in one of the pits, or in one of the places, and it has been at the falling among them at the commencement, that the hearer has heard and said, There has been a slaughter among the people who [are] after Absalom;
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 and he also, the son of valor, whose heart [is] as the heart of the lion, utterly melts, for all Israel knows that your father is a hero, and those with him [are] sons of valor.
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 So that I have counseled: let all Israel be diligently gathered to you, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, as the sand that [is] by the sea for multitude, and you yourself are going in the midst;
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 and we have come to him in one of the places where he is found, and we [are] on him as the dew falls on the ground, and there has not been left of him and of all the men who [are] with him even 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 And if he is gathered to a city, then they have caused all Israel to carry ropes to that city, and we have drawn it to the brook until there has not even been found a stone 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 And Absalom says—and all the men of Israel, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite [is] better than the counsel of Ahithophel”; and YHWH willed to make void the good counsel of Ahithophel for the sake of YHWH’s bringing the calamity to 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 And Hushai says to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, “Thus and thus Ahithophel has counseled Absalom and the elderly of Israel, and thus and thus I have 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 and now, send quickly, and declare [it] to David, saying, Do not lodge in the plains of the wilderness tonight, and also, certainly pass over, lest there is a swallowing up of the king and of all the people who 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 And Jonathan and Ahimaaz are standing at En-Rogel, and the maidservant has gone and declared [it] to them—and they go and have declared [it] to King David—for they are not able to be seen to go into the city.
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 And a youth sees them, and declares [it] to Absalom; and both of them go on quickly, and come to the house of a man in Bahurim, and he has a well in his court, and they go down there,
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 woman takes and spreads the covering over the face of the well, and spreads the ground grain on it, and the thing has not been known.
Ženska je vzela [pokrivalo] in pokrivalo razprostrla čez ustje vodnjaka in nanj raztresla zmleto žito in stvar ni bila znana.
20 And the servants of Absalom come to the woman at the house, and say, “Where [are] Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” And the woman says to them, “They passed over the brook of water”; and they seek, and have not found, and return to Jerusalem.
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 it comes to pass, after their going on, that they come up out of the well, and go and declare [it] to King David, and say to David, “Rise, and pass over the waters quickly, for thus has Ahithophel counseled 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 And David rises, and all the people who [are] with him, and they pass over the Jordan, until the morning light, until not one has been lacking who has not passed over the Jordan.
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 And Ahithophel has seen that his counsel was not done, and he saddles the donkey, and rises and goes to his house, to his city, and gives charge to his household, and strangles himself, and dies, and he is buried in the burying-place of his father.
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 And David came to Mahanaim, and Absalom passed over the Jordan, 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 has set Amasa over the host instead of Joab, and Amasa [is] a man’s son whose name is Ithra the Israeli who has gone in to Abigail, daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, mother of Joab;
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 and Israel encamps with Absalom [in] the land of Gilead.
Tako so Izrael in Absalom taborili v deželi Gileád.
27 And it comes to pass at the coming in of David to Mahanaim, that Shobi son of Nahash, from Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and Machir son of Ammiel, from Behold-Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite, from Rogelim,
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 [have brought] bed, and basin, and earthen vessel, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and roasted [grain], and beans, and lentiles, and roasted [pulse],
prinesli postelje, umivalnike, lončene posode ter pšenico, ječmen, moko, praženo zrnje, fižol, lečo, posušene stročnice,
29 and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of cows; they have brought [these] near for David, and for the people who [are] with him to eat, for they said, “Your people [are] hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.”
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.«
