2 Samuel 3
1 And the war is long between the house of Saul and the house of David, and David is going on and [is] strong, and the house of Saul is going on and [is] weak.
Rat između Šaulove kuće i Davidove kuće potrajao je još dugo vremena, ali je David sve više jačao, a Šaulova kuća postajala sve slabija.
2 And there are sons born to David in Hebron, and his firstborn is Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess,
Davidu se rodiše sinovi u Hebronu. Prvenac mu je bio Amnon, od Ahinoame Jizreelke;
3 and his second [is] Chileab, of Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelite, and the third [is] Absalom son of Maacah daughter of Talmai king of Geshur,
drugi mu je bio Kileab, od Abigajile, žene Nabalove iz Karmela; treći Abšalom, sin Maake, kćeri gešurskoga kralja Tolmaja;
4 and the fourth [is] Adonijah son of Haggith, and the fifth [is] Shephatiah son of Abital,
četvrti Adonija, sin Hagitin; peti Šefatja, sim Abitalin;
5 and the sixth [is] Ithream, of Eglah wife of David; these have been born to David in Hebron.
šesti Jitream, od Egle, Davidove žene. Ti se Davidu rodiše u Hebronu.
6 And it comes to pass, in the war being between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner has been strengthening himself in the house of Saul,
Dok je trajao rat između Šaulove kuće i Davidove kuće, Abner je malo-pomalo prisvajao svu vlast u Šaulovoj kući.
7 and Saul has a concubine, and her name [is] Rizpah daughter of Aiah, and [Ish-Bosheth] says to Abner, “Why have you gone in to the concubine of my father?”
A u kući bijaše Šaulova inoča po imenu Rispa, kći Ajina: nju Abner uze sebi. A Išbaal upita Abnera: “Zašto si se približio inoči moga oca?”
8 And it is exceedingly displeasing to Abner, because of the words of Ish-Bosheth, and he says, “[Am] I the head of a dog—that in reference to Judah, today I do kindness with the house of your father Saul, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David—that you charge against me iniquity concerning the woman today?
Na te Išbaalove riječi Abner se razgnjevi i reče: “Zar sam ja pasja glava u Judi? Do danas sam samo dobro činio domu tvoga oca Šaula, njegovoj braći i njegovim prijateljima; nisam dopustio da padneš u Davidove ruke, a ti me danas prekoravaš zbog obične žene!
9 Thus God does to Abner, and thus He adds to him, surely as YHWH has sworn to David—surely so I do to him:
Neka Abneru Bog učini ovo zlo i neka mu doda drugo ako ne izvršim kako se Jahve zakleo Davidu:
10 to cause the kingdom to pass over from the house of Saul, and to raise up the throne of David over Israel, and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba.”
da će oduzeti kraljevstvo Šaulovoj kući i da će utvrditi Davidov prijesto nad Izraelom i nad Judom od Dana pa do Beer Šebe!”
11 And he is not able to return a word [to] Abner anymore, because of his fearing him.
Išbaal se ne usudi odgovoriti ni riječi Abneru jer ga se bojaše.
12 And Abner sends messengers to David for himself, saying, “Whose [is] the land?” [And] saying, “Make your covenant with me, and behold, my hand [is] with you, to bring around all Israel to you.”
Nato Abner posla glasnike k Davidu i poruči mu: “Čija je zemlja?” Htio je reći: “Učini savez sa mnom i moja će ti ruka pomoći da okupiš oko sebe svega Izraela.”
13 And [David] says, “Good—I make a covenant with you; only, one thing I am asking of you, that is, you do not see my face, except [that] you first bring in Michal daughter of Saul in your coming in to see my face.”
David odgovori Abneru: “Dobro! Učinit ću savez s tobom! Ali samo jedno tražim od tebe: ne smiješ mi doći na oči ako ne dovedeš sa sobom Mikalu, Šaulovu kćer, kad dođeš da vidiš moje lice.”
14 And David sends messengers to Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, saying, “Give up my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself with one hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”
Ujedno posla David glasnike i k Išbaalu, Šaulovu sinu, s porukom: “Vrati mi moju ženu Mikalu, koju sam stekao stotinom filistejskih obrezaka.”
15 And Ish-Bosheth sends, and takes her from a man, from Phaltiel son of Laish,
Išbaal posla po nju i uze je od njezina muža Paltiela, Lajiševa sina.
16 and her husband goes with her, going on and weeping behind her, to Bahurim, and Abner says to him, “Go, return”; and he turns back.
A njezin muž pođe s njom i pratio ju je plačući sve do Bahurima. Tada mu Abner reče: “Hajde, vrati se sada kući!” I on se vrati.
17 And the word of Abner was with [the] elderly of Israel, saying, “Thus far you have been seeking David for king over you,
Abner je već bio razgovarao s Izraelovim starješinama i rekao im: “Već odavna želite Davida za svoga kralja.
18 and now, do [it], for YHWH has spoken of David saying, [It is] by the hand of my servant David to save My people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.”
Učinite to sada, jer je Jahve rekao o Davidu ovo: 'Rukom svoga sluge Davida izbavit ću svoj narod Izraela iz ruke filistejske i iz ruku svih njegovih neprijatelja.'”
19 And Abner also speaks in the ears of Benjamin, and Abner also goes to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that [is] good in the eyes of Israel, and in the eyes of all the house of Benjamin,
Tako je Abner govorio i Benjaminovim sinovima, a onda je otišao u Hebron da javi Davidu sve što se svidjelo Izraelu i domu Benjaminovu.
20 and Abner comes to David, to Hebron, and twenty men [are] with him, and David makes a banquet for Abner and for the men who [are] with him.
Kad je Abner došao k Davidu u Hebron, i s njim dvadeset ljudi, David priredi gozbu Abneru i ljudima koji bijahu s njim.
21 And Abner says to David, “I arise, and go, and gather the whole of Israel to my lord the king, and they make a covenant with you, and you have reigned over all that your soul desires”; and David sends Abner away, and he goes in peace.
Tada Abner reče Davidu: “Hajdemo! Ja ću skupiti svega Izraela oko gospodara moga kralja: oni će sklopiti s tobom savez i ti ćeš kraljevati nad svim što budeš želio.” David otpusti Abnera, koji ode u miru.
22 And behold, the servants of David, and Joab, have come from the troop, and have brought much spoil with them, and Abner is not with David in Hebron, for he has sent him away, and he goes in peace;
I gle, Davidovi se ljudi s Joabom upravo vraćali sa četovanja, noseći sa sobom bogat plijen, a Abner nije više bio kod Davida u Hebronu, jer ga David bijaše otpustio te je on otišao u miru.
23 and Joab and all the host that [were] with him have come, and they declare to Joab, saying, “Abner son of Ner has come to the king, and he sends him away, and he goes in peace.”
Kad stiže Joab i sva vojska što je išla s njim, javiše Joabu da je Abner, Nerov sin, bio došao kralju i da ga je kralj otpustio da ode u miru.
24 And Joab comes to the king and says, “What have you done? Behold, Abner has come to you! Why [is] this—you have sent him away, and he is really gone?
Tada Joab dođe kralju i reče mu: “Što si učinio? Abner je došao k tebi, zašto si ga otpustio da ode u miru?
25 You have known Abner son of Ner, that he came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you are doing.”
Zar ne znaš Abnera, Nerova sina? Došao je da te prevari, da dozna tvoje korake, da dozna sve što činiš!”
26 And Joab goes out from David, and sends messengers after Abner, and they bring him back from the well of Sirah, and David did not know.
Potom izađe Joab od Davida i posla glasnike za Abnerom, koji ga vratiše, od studenca Sire, a David nije znao ništa o tome.
27 And Abner turns back to Hebron, and Joab turns him aside to the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and strikes him there in the fifth [rib]—and he dies—for the blood of his brother Asahel.
Kad se Abner vratio u Hebron, odvede ga Joab u stranu iza vrata, kao da želi s njim nesmetano govoriti, i ondje ga smrtno rani u slabine da se osveti za krv svoga brata Asahela.
28 And David hears afterward and says, “My kingdom and I [are] acquitted by YHWH for all time, from the blood of Abner son of Ner;
Kad je David to poslije čuo, reče: “Ja i moje kraljevstvo nevini smo pred Jahvom dovijeka za krv Abnera, sina Nerova.
29 it stays on the head of Joab, and on all the house of his father, and there is not cut off from the house of Joab one who has discharging, and leprous, and laying hold on a staff, and falling by a sword, and lacking bread.”
Neka padne na Joabovu glavu i na sav njegov očinski dom! Nikad ne ponestalo u Joabovu domu ljudi bolesnih od gnojenja ili od gube, ljudi koji se laćaju vretena ili padaju od mača, ljudi koji nemaju kruha!” -
30 And Joab and his brother Abishai slew Abner because that he put their brother Asahel to death in Gibeon, in battle.
Joab i njegov brat Abišaj ubili su Abnera jer je on pogubio njihova brata Asahela u boju kod Gibeona. -
31 And David says to Joab, and to all the people who [are] with him, “Tear your garments, and gird on sackcloth, and mourn before Abner”; and King David is going after the bier.
Nato David reče Joabu i svoj vojsci koja je bila s njim: “Razderite svoje haljine, obucite kostrijet i naričite za Abnerom!” I kralj David pođe za nosilima.
32 And they bury Abner in Hebron, and the king lifts up his voice, and weeps at the grave of Abner, and all the people weep;
Kad su ukopali Abnera u Hebronu, udari kralj u glasan plač na grobu Abnerovu, a plakao je i sav narod.
33 and the king laments for Abner and says, “Does Abner die as the death of a fool?
Tada kralj ispjeva ovu tužaljku za Abnerom: “Zar morade umrijeti Abner kako umire luda?
34 Your hands not bound, And your feet not brought near to chains! You have fallen as one falling before sons of evil!” And all the people add to weep over him.
Ruke tvoje ne bijahu vezane, noge tvoje ne bijahu okovane. Pao si kao što se pada od zlikovaca!” Tada sav narod još ljuće zaplaka za njim.
35 And all the people come to cause David to eat bread while yet day, and David swears, saying, “Thus God does to me, and thus He adds, for—before the going in of the sun, I taste no bread or any other thing.”
Nato pristupi sav narod nutkajući Davida da jede dok je još dana, ali se David zakle ovako: “Neka mi Bog učini ovo zlo i neka mi doda drugo zlo ako okusim kruha ili što drugo prije zalaska sunca!”
36 And all the people have discerned [it], and it is good in their eyes, as all that the king has done is good in the eyes of all the people;
Sav je narod to čuo, i bilo mu je po volji, kao što je narod i sve drugo odobravao što god je kralj činio.
37 and all the people know, even all Israel, in that day, that it has not been from the king—to put Abner son of Ner to death.
Toga dana sav narod i sav Izrael spozna da kralj nije kriv u umorstvu Abnera, sina Nerova.
38 And the king says to his servants, “Do you not know that a prince and a great one has fallen this day in Israel?
Nato kralj reče svojim dvoranima: “Ne znate li da je danas pao knez i velik čovjek u Izraelu?
39 And today I [am] tender, and an anointed king: and these men, sons of Zeruiah, [are] too hard for me; YHWH repays to the doer of the evil according to his evil.”
Ali ja sam sada još slab, iako sam pomazani kralj, a ovi ljudi, Sarvijini sinovi, jači su od mene. Neka Jahve plati zločincu po njegovoj zloći!”
