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.

I dugo bijaše rat izmeðu doma Saulova i doma Davidova; ali David sve veæma jaèaše a dom Saulov postajaše sve slabiji.

2 And there are sons born to David in Hebron, and his firstborn is Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess,

I Davidu se rodiše sinovi u Hevronu: prvenac mu bješe Amnon od Ahinoame Jezraeljanke;

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 bješe Hileav od Avigeje žene Navala Karmilca; treæi Avesalom sin Mahe kæeri Talmaja cara Gesurskoga;

4 and the fourth [is] Adonijah son of Haggith, and the fifth [is] Shephatiah son of Abital,

Èetvrti Adonija sin Agitin; i peti Sefatija sin Avitalin;

5 and the sixth [is] Ithream, of Eglah wife of David; these have been born to David in Hebron.

I šesti Itram od Egle žene Davidove. Ti se rodiše Davidu u Hevronu.

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,

I dok bijaše rat izmeðu doma Saulova i doma Davidova, Avenir branjaše dom Saulov.

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 Saul imaše inoèu po imenu Resfu kæer Ajinu; i Isvostej reèe Aveniru: zašto si spavao kod inoèe oca mojega?

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?

I Avenir se razgnjevi na rijeèi Isvostejeve i reèe: jesam li ja pasja glava, koji sada èinim na Judi milost domu Saula oca tvojega i braæi njegovoj i prijateljima njegovijem, i nijesam te pustio u ruke Davidove, te danas tražiš na meni zlo radi te 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:

Tako neka uèini Bog Aveniru, i tako neka doda, ako ne uèinim Davidu kako mu se Gospod zakleo,

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 se prenese ovo carstvo od doma Saulova, i da se utvrdi prijesto Davidov nad Izrailjem i nad Judom, od Dana do Virsaveje.

11 And he is not able to return a word [to] Abner anymore, because of his fearing him.

I on ne može više ništa odgovoriti Aveniru, 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.”

I Avenir posla poslanike k Davidu od sebe i poruèi: èija je zemlja? I poruèi mu: uèini vjeru sa mnom, i evo ruka æe moja biti s tobom, da obratim k tebi svega Izrailja.

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.”

A on odgovori: dobro; ja æu uèiniti vjeru s tobom; ali jedno ištem od tebe, i to: da ne vidiš lica mojega ako mi prvo ne dovedeš Mihalu kæer Saulovu, kad doðeš da vidiš lice moje.

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.”

I posla David poslanike k Isvosteju sinu Saulovu, i poruèi mu: daj mi ženu moju Mihalu, koju isprosih za sto okrajaka Filistejskih.

15 And Ish-Bosheth sends, and takes her from a man, from Phaltiel son of Laish,

I Isvostej posla te je uze od muža, od Faltila, sina Laisova.

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 muž njezin poðe s njom, i jednako plakaše za njom do Vaurima. Tada mu reèe Avenir: idi, vrati se natrag. 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,

Potom Avenir govori starješinama Izrailjskim, i reèe im: preðe tražiste Davida da bude car nad vama.

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.”

Eto sada uèinite; jer je Gospod rekao za Davida govoreæi: preko Davida sluge svojega izbaviæu narod svoj Izrailja iz ruku Filistejskih i iz ruku svijeh neprijatelja njihovijeh.

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 govori Avenir i sinovima Venijaminovijem. Potom otide Avenir i u Hevron da kaže Davidu sve što za dobro naðe Izrailj i sav dom Venijaminov.

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.

I kad doðe Avenir k Davidu u Hevron i s njim dvadeset ljudi, uèini David gozbu Aveniru 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.

I reèe Avenir Davidu: da ustanem i idem da skupim k caru gospodaru svojemu sav narod Izrailjev da uèine vjeru s tobom, pa da caruješ kako ti duša želi. I David otpusti Avenira da ide s mirom.

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;

A gle, sluge Davidove vraæahu se s Joavom iz boja, i tjerahu sa sobom velik plijen; a Avenir veæ ne bješe kod Davida u Hevronu, jer ga otpusti, te otide s mirom.

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.”

Joav dakle i sva vojska što bješe s njim doðoše onamo; i javiše Joavu govoreæi: Avenir sin Nirov dolazio je k caru, i on ga otpusti te otide s mirom.

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?

I Joav otide k caru i reèe: šta uèini? Gle, Avenir je dolazio k tebi; zašto ga pusti te otide?

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.”

Poznaješ li Avenira sina Nirova? dolazio je da te prevari, da vidi kuda hodiš i da dozna sve šta radiš.

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 otišav Joav od Davida posla ljude za Avenirom da ga vrate od studenca Sire, a David ne znadijaše za to.

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.

I kad se vrati Avenir u Hevron, odvede ga Joav na stranu pod vrata kao da govori s njim nasamo; ondje ga udari pod peto rebro, te umrije za krv Asaila brata njegova.

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;

A kad David poslije to èu, reèe: ja nijesam kriv ni carstvo moje pred Gospodom dovijeka za krv Avenira sina Nirova.

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 glavu Joavovu i na sav dom oca njegova; i neka dom Joavov ne bude nikad bez èovjeka bolna od teèenja ili gubava ili koji ide o štapu ili koji padne od maèa ili koji nema hljeba.

30 And Joab and his brother Abishai slew Abner because that he put their brother Asahel to death in Gibeon, in battle.

Tako Joav i Avisaj brat njegov ubiše Avenira što on pogubi Asaila brata njihova kod Gavaona u boju.

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.

I reèe David Joavu i svemu narodu koji bijaše s njim: razderite haljine svoje i pripašite kostrijet, i plaèite za Avenirom. I car David iðaše 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;

A kad pogreboše Avenira u Hevronu, car podiže glas svoj i plaka na grobu Avenirovu; plaka i sav narod.

33 and the king laments for Abner and says, “Does Abner die as the death of a fool?

I narièuæi za Avenirom reèe: umrije li Avenir kako umire bezumnik?

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 biše vezane, niti noge tvoje u okov okovane; pao si kao što se pada od nevaljalijeh ljudi. Tada još veæma plaka za njim sav narod.

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.”

I doðe sav narod nudeæi Davida da jede što, dok još bijaše dan; ali se David zakle i reèe: Bog neka mi uèini tako, i tako neka doda, ako okusim hljeba ili što drugo dok ne zaðe sunce.

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;

I sav narod èu to, i bi im po volji; što god èinjaše car, bješe po volji svemu narodu.

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.

I pozna sav narod i sav Izrailj u onaj dan da nije bilo od cara što pogibe Avenir sin Nirov.

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?

I car reèe slugama svojim: ne znate li da je vojvoda i to veliki poginuo danas u Izrailju?

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, ako i jesam pomazani car; a ovi ljudi, sinovi Serujini, vrlo su mi silni. Neka Gospod plati onome koji èini zlo prema zloæi njegovoj.
