2 Samuel 3

1 Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David. But David grew stronger and stronger, while the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.

Torej tam je bila dolga vojna med Savlovo hišo in Davidovo hišo, toda David je postajal močnejši in močnejši, Savlova hiša pa je postajala šibkejša in šibkejša.

2 Now sons were born to David in Hebron. And his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam of Jezreel;

Davidu so se v Hebrónu rodili sinovi. Njegov prvorojenec je bil Amnón; od Jezreélke Ahinóam;

3 and his second, Daluiah, of Abigail of Carmel; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;

in njegov drugi Kiláb od Abigájile, žene Karmelčana Nabála in tretji Absalom, sin Maáhe, hčere gešurskega kralja Talmája;

4 and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah, of Abital;

in četrti Adoníja, Hagítin sin; in peti Šefatjá, sin Abitále;

5 and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah, David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.

in šesti Jitreám od Davidove žene Egle. Ti so bili rojeni Davidu v Hebrónu.

6 And it came about while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner was gaining power in the house of Saul.

Pripetilo se je, medtem ko je bila vojna med Savlovo hišo in Davidovo hišo, da je Abnêr sebe naredil močnega za Savlovo hišo.

7 Now Saul had a secondary wife, Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. And Ishbaal son of Saul said to Abner, "Why have you gone in to my father's secondary wife?"

Savel je imel priležnico, ki ji je bilo ime Ricpa, Ajájeva hči in Iš Bošet je rekel Abnêrju: »Zakaj si odšel k priležnici mojega očeta?«

8 Then Abner was very angry over the words of Ishbaal, and said, "Am I a dog's head? Until today, is it for myself that I have been doing all these things, showing loyalty to the house of Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David? And yet you charge me this day with a fault concerning this woman.

Potem je bil Abnêr zelo ogorčen zaradi besed Iš Bošeta in je rekel: » Mar sem pasja glava, ko ta dan zoper Juda izkazujem prijaznost hiši tvojega očeta Savla, njegovim bratom in njegovim prijateljem in te nisem izročil v Davidovo roko, da me danes obsojaš s krivdo glede te ženske?

9 God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as the LORD has sworn to David, I do not do even so to him;

Tako stori Bog Abnêrju in še več, razen če, kakor je Gospod prisegel Davidu, celo tako jaz storim njemu,

10 to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba."

da se kraljestvo prestavi od Savlove hiše in da postavi Davidov prestol čez Izraela in čez Juda, od Dana, celo do Beeršébe.«

11 And Ishbaal could not answer Abner another word, because he feared him.

In ni mogel Abnêrju ponovno odgovoriti besede, ker se ga je bal.

12 Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, "Whose is the land?" and saying, "Make an agreement with me, and look, my hand shall be with you, to bring all Israel around to you."

Abnêr pa je v svojem imenu poslal poslance k Davidu, rekoč: »Čigava je ta dežela?« Rekoč tudi: »Skleni zavezo z menoj in glej, moja roka bo s teboj, da k tebi privedem ves Izrael.«

13 He said, "Good. I will make a covenant with you, but one thing I require of you. That is, you shall not see my face unless you first bring Mikal, Saul's daughter, when you come to see my face."

Rekel je: »Dobro. Jaz bom sklenil zavezo s teboj, toda od tebe zahtevam eno stvar, to je: ›Ne boš videl mojega obraza, razen če mi najprej ne pripelješ Savlove hčere Mihále, ko prideš, da vidiš moj obraz.‹«

14 David sent messengers to Ishbaal, Saul's son, saying, "Give me my wife Mikal, whom I betrothed to myself for one hundred foreskins of the Philistines."

David je poslal poslance k Savlovemu sinu Iš Bošetu, rekoč: »Izroči mi mojo ženo Mihálo, ki sem si jo zaročil za sto prednjih kožic Filistejcev.«

15 Ishbaal sent and took her from her husband Paltiel the son of Laish.

Iš Bošet je poslal in jo vzel od njenega soproga, torej od Lajiševega sina Paltíela.

16 But her husband went with her, weeping behind her, as far as Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, "Go back." So he went back.

Njen soprog je odšel skupaj z njo, jokajoč za njo, do Bahuríma. Potem mu je Abnêr rekel: »Pojdi, vrni se.« In se je vrnil.

17 Abner advised the elders of Israel, saying, "For some time you have wanted David to be king over you.

Abnêr je imel pogovor z Izraelovimi starešinami, rekoč: »V preteklih časih ste iskali za Davidom, da bi bil kralj nad vami.

18 Now then do it, for the LORD has spoken of David, saying, 'By the hand of my servant David, I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.'"

Sedaj torej to storite, kajti Gospod je govoril o Davidu, rekoč: ›Po roki svojega služabnika Davida bom rešil svoje ljudstvo Izraela iz roke Filistejcev in iz roke vseh njihovih sovražnikov.‹«

19 And Abner also spoke privately to the sons of Benjamin. And Abner also spoke privately to David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to the whole house of Benjamin.

Abnêr je govoril tudi na ušesa Benjamina in Abnêr je odšel, da govori tudi na Davidova ušesa v Hebrónu. Vse to se je zdelo dobro Izraelu in to se je zdelo dobro celotni Benjaminovi hiši.

20 So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. David made Abner and the men who were with him a feast.

Tako je Abnêr prišel k Davidu v Hebrón in z njim dvajset mož. David je naredil zabavo za Abnêrja in može, ki so bili z njim.

21 Abner said to David, "I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may reign over all that your soul desires." David sent Abner away; and he left in peace.

Abnêr je rekel Davidu: »Vstal bom in šel in ves Izrael bom zbral k svojemu gospodu kralju, da bodo lahko s teboj sklenili zavezo in da boš lahko kraljeval nad vsem, kar si tvoje srce želi.« David je poslal Abnêrja proč in ta je odšel v miru.

22 Look, the servants of David and Joab were returning from a raid, and brought in a great spoil with them. But Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he left in peace.

Glej, Davidovi služabniki in Joáb so prišli iz zasledovanja krdela in s seboj prinesli velik plen, toda Abnêr ni bil z Davidom v Hebrónu, kajti poslal ga je proč in ta je odšel v miru.

23 When Joab and all the army who was with him had come, they told Joab, saying, "Abner the son of Ner came to David, and he has sent him away, and he left in peace."

Ko so prišli Joáb in vsa vojska, ki je bila z njim, so Joábu povedali, rekoč: »Nerov sin Abnêr je prišel h kralju in ta ga je poslal proč in je odšel v miru.«

24 Then Joab came to the king, and said, "What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why is it that you have sent him away? Now he has gone.

Potem je Joáb prišel h kralju in rekel: »Kaj si storil? Glej, Abnêr je prišel k tebi. Zakaj je to, da si ga poslal proč in je on popolnoma izginil?

25 Don't you know the evil ways of Abner the son of Ner? He came to deceive you and to observe your movements and to learn everything that you are doing."

Ti poznaš Nerovega sina Abnêrja, da je prišel, da te zavede in da spozna tvoja odhajanja in tvoja prihajanja in da spozna vse, kar delaš.«

26 When Joab had left David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David did not know it.

Ko je Joáb prišel od Davida, je za Abnêrjem poslal poslance, ki so ga ponovno privedli od vodnjaka Sire. Toda David tega ni vedel.

27 When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and struck him there in the abdomen, so that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.

Ko se je Abnêr vrnil v Hebrón, ga je Joáb vzel na stran, v velika vrata, da bi tiho govoril z njim in ga tam udaril pod petim rebrom, da je umrl zaradi krvi njegovega brata Asaéla.

28 Afterward, when David heard it, he said, "I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD now and forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner.

Potem ko je David to slišal, je rekel: »Jaz in moje kraljestvo sva brez krivde pred Gospodom na veke pred krvjo Nerovega sina Abnêrja.

29 May it whirl over the head of Joab, and on all his father's house. Let there not fail from the house of Joab one who has an issue, or who is a leper, or who leans on a staff, or who falls by the sword, or who lacks bread."

Ta naj počiva na Joábovi glavi in na vsej hiši njegovega očeta in naj iz Joábove hiše ne zmanjka tistega, ki ima izliv ali je gobavec ali se naslanja na palico ali pada na meč ali mu primanjkuje kruha.«

30 So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.

Tako sta Joáb in njegov brat Abišáj umorila Abnêrja, ker je ubil njunega brata Asaéla v bitki pri Gibeónu.

31 David said to Joab, and to all the people who were with him, "Tear your clothes, and clothe yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner." And King David followed the coffin.

David je rekel Joábu in vsemu ljudstvu, ki je bilo z njim: »Pretrgajte svoja oblačila in se opašite z vrečevino in žalujte pred Abnêrjem.« In sam kralj David je sledil mrtvaškemu odru.

32 They buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.

Abnêrja so pokopali v Hebrónu. Kralj je povzdignil svoj glas in jokal nad Abnêrjevim grobom in vse ljudstvo je jokalo.

33 The king lamented for Abner, and said, "Should Abner die as a fool dies?

Kralj je žaloval nad Abnêrjem in rekel: »Je Abnêr umrl, kakor umira bedak?

34 Your hands were not bound in chains, your feet were not put into fetters. As a man falls before the ruthless, so you fell." All the people wept again over him.

Tvoje roke niso bile zvezane niti tvoja stopala, vklenjena v okove. Kakor mož pada pred zlobneži, tako padaš ti.« In vse ljudstvo je ponovno jokalo nad njim.

35 Then all the people came to persuade David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, "God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or anything else, until the sun goes down."

Ko je vse ljudstvo prišlo, da povzročijo Davidu, da jé hrano, medtem ko je bil še dan, je David prisegel, rekoč: »Tako naj mi Bog stori in še več, če okusim kruh ali karkoli drugega, dokler sonce ne zaide.«

36 And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them; just as everything the king did pleased the people.

Vse ljudstvo je to opazilo in to jim je ugajalo, kakor karkoli je kralj storil, je vsemu ljudstvu ugajalo.

37 So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to kill Abner the son of Ner.

Kajti vse ljudstvo in ves Izrael je ta dan razumelo, da to ni bilo od kralja, da umori Nerovega sina Abnêrja.

38 The king said to his servants, "Do you not realize that a leader and a great man has fallen this day in Israel?

Kralj je rekel svojim služabnikom: »Ali ne veste, da je ta dan tukaj v Izraelu padel princ in velik mož?

39 I am this day weak, though anointed king. And these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too brutal for me. May the LORD reward the evildoer according to his wickedness."

Jaz sem ta dan šibek, čeprav maziljen kralj in ti možje, Cerújini sinovi, so pretežki zame. Gospod bo hudodelca nagradil glede na njegovo zlobnost.«
