2 Samuel 21
1 And there is a famine in the days of David [for] three years, year after year, and David seeks the face of YHWH, and YHWH says, “[This is] for Saul and for the bloody house, because that he put the Gibeonites to death.”
U dane Davidove vladaše jednom glad tri godine uzastopce. David se obrati Jahvi, a Jahve mu odgovori: “Na Šaulu i njegovu domu leži krvna krivnja jer je pogubio Gibeonce.”
2 And the king calls for the Gibeonites and says to them—as for the Gibeonites, they [are] not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorite, and the sons of Israel had sworn to them, and Saul seeks to strike them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah—
Tada kralj sazva Gibeonce da ih pita. Ti Gibeonci nisu pripadali Izraelcima, nego su bili ostatak Amorejaca, kojima se Izraelci bijahu zakleli zakletvom, ali je Šaul tražio da ih uništi u svojoj revnosti za Izraelce i Judejce.
3 indeed, David says to the Gibeonites, “What do I do for you? And with what do I make atonement? And bless the inheritance of YHWH.”
David, dakle, upita Gibeonce: “Što da vam učinim i čime da vam dadem zadovoljštinu da biste blagoslovili baštinu Jahvinu?”
4 And the Gibeonites say to him, “We have no silver and gold by Saul and by his house, and we have no man to put to death in Israel”; and he says, “What you are saying I do to you.”
Gibeonci odgovoriše: “Ne tražimo mi ni srebra ni zlata od Šaula i njegova doma, niti nam je stalo da se pogubi koji čovjek u Izraelu.” David će im nato: “Što reknete učinit ću za vas.”
5 And they say to the king, “The man who consumed us, and who devised against us—we have been destroyed from stationing ourselves in all the border of Israel—
A oni odgovoriše kralju: “Čovjek koji nas je zatirao i koji je smišljao da nas uništi, da nas ne bude nigdje u svemu izraelskom području,
6 let there be given to us seven men of his sons, and we have hanged them before YHWH, in the height of Saul, the chosen of YHWH.” And the king says, “I give”;
od njegovih potomaka neka nam se preda sedam ljudi da ih objesimo pred Jahvom u Gibeonu na gori Jahvinoj.” Kralj odvrati: “Dat ću vam ih.”
7 and the king has pity on Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, because of the oath of YHWH that [is] between them, between David and Jonathan son of Saul;
Kralj poštedje Meribaala, sina Šaulova sina Jonatana, zbog zakletve pred Jahvom koja ih je vezala, Davida i Jonatana, sina Šaulova.
8 and the king takes the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Michal daughter of Saul whom she bore to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite,
Tako kralj uze oba sina Rispe, Ajine kćeri, koje je rodila Šaulu, Armonija i Meribaala, i svih pet sinova Merabe, Šaulove kćeri, koje je rodila Adrielu, sinu Barzilajevu, iz Mehole.
9 and gives them into the hand of the Gibeonites, and they hang them in the hill before YHWH; and the seven fall together, and they have been put to death in the days of harvest, in the first [days], the commencement of barley-harvest.
Njih dade u ruke Gibeoncima, a oni ih objesiše na gori pred Jahvom. Tako sva sedmorica poginuše zajedno, pogubljeni prvih dana žetve, na početku ječmene žetve.
10 And Rizpah daughter of Aiah takes the sackcloth, and stretches it out for herself on the rock, from the commencement of harvest until water has been poured out on them from the heavens, and has not permitted a bird of the heavens to rest on them by day, or the beast of the field by night.
Rispa, Ajina kći, uze kostrijet i prostrije je za sebe na stijeni od početka ječmene žetve sve dok nije kiša s neba pala na mrtva tijela, i tako nije dala nebeskim pticama da se spuštaju na njih danju ni poljskim zvijerima noću.
11 And it is declared to David that which Rizpah daughter of Aiah, concubine of Saul, has done,
Kad su Davidu javili što je učinila Ajina kći Rispa, Šaulova inoča,
12 and David goes and takes the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan, from the possessors of Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the broad place of Beth-Shan, where the Philistines hanged them, in the day of the Philistines striking Saul in Gilboa;
ode David i uze Šaulove kosti i kosti njegova sina Jonatana od stanovnika Jabeša Gileadskog, koji ih bijahu potajno odnijeli s trga u Bet Šanu, gdje su ih objesili Filistejci u onaj dan kad su Filistejci porazili Šaula na Gilboi.
13 and he brings up there the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan, and they gather the bones of those hanged,
David prenese odande Šaulove kosti i kosti njegova sina Jonatana pa ih združi s kostima pogubljenih.
14 and bury the bones of Saul and of his son Jonathan in the land of Benjamin, in Zelah, in the burying-place of his father Kish, and do all that the king commanded, and God accepts the plea for the land afterward.
I ukopaše Šaulove kosti i kosti njegova sina Jonatana s kostima pogubljenih u zemlji Benjaminovoj, u Seli, u grobu Šaulova oca Kiša. Pošto izvršiše sve što je kralj zapovjedio, Bog se smilova zemlji.
15 And again the Philistines have war with Israel, and David goes down, and his servants with him, and they fight with the Philistines; and David is weary,
Jednom opet nasta rat između Filistejaca i Izraelaca. David ode u boj sa svojim ljudima te su se borili s Filistejcima tako da se David umorio.
16 and Ishbi-Benob, who [is] among the children of the giant—the weight of his spear [is] three hundred [shekels in] weight of bronze, and he is girded with a new one—speaks of striking David,
Išibenob, jedan od Rafinih potomaka, čije je koplje bilo teško tri stotine mjedenih šekela i koji o pripasu imaše nov mač, hvastao se tada da će ubiti Davida.
17 and Abishai son of Zeruiah gives help to him, and strikes the Philistine, and puts him to death; then the men of David swear to him, saying, “You do not go out with us to battle again, nor quench the lamp of Israel.”
Ali Davidu priskoči u pomoć Sarvijin sin Abišaj; udari on Filistejca te ga ubi. Tada se Davidovi ljudi zakleše rekavši Davidu: “Nećeš više ići s nama u boj, da ne ugasiš svjetiljke Izraelove!”
18 And it comes to pass afterward that the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines. Then Sibbechai the Hushathite has struck Saph, who [is] among the children of the giant.
Poslije toga opet izbi rat s Filistejcima u Gobu; tada je Hušanin Sibkaj pogubio Sipaja, jednoga od Rafinih potomaka.
19 And the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim, the Beth-Lehemite, strikes [a brother of] Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [is] like a weavers’ beam.
Uz to nasta rat s Filistejcima u Gobu; tada je Jairov sin Elhanan iz Betlehema pogubio Golijata Gitejca, koji je imao kopljaču kao tkalačko vratilo.
20 And the battle is again in Gath, and there is a man of [great] stature, and the fingers of his hands [are] six, and the toes of his feet [are] six—twenty-four in number, and he has also been born to the giant,
Potom opet izbi rat u Gatu, gdje je bio neki čovjek visoka rasta: imaše taj na svakoj ruci i nozi po šest prstiju, dakle dvadeset i četiri; i on bijaše potomak Rafin.
21 and he reproaches Israel, and Jonathan son of Shimeah, David’s brother, strikes him;
Kad je počeo ružiti Izraela, ubi ga Jonatan, sin Davidova brata Šimeja.
22 these four have been born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Ta četvorica bijahu potomci istoga Rafe iz Gata, a poginuše od ruke Davidove i od ruku njegovih slugu.
