2 Samuel 20
1 Now there happened to be a worthless man, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bikri, a Benjamite. And he blew the trumpet, and said, "We have no share in David, nor do we have any inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, Israel."
Ondje se slučajno našao opak čovjek po imenu Šeba, Bikrijev sin, Benjaminovac. On zatrubi u rog i viknu: “Mi nemamo udjela na Davidu ni baštine na Jišajevu sinu! Svaki svome šatoru, Izraele!”
2 So all Israel deserted David and followed Sheba the son of Bikri, but the men of Judah stayed by their king, from the Jordan to Jerusalem.
Tako svi Izraelci ostaviše Davida i pođoše za Bikrijevim sinom Šebom; a Judejci prionuše uza svoga kralja i otpratiše ga od Jordana do Jeruzalema.
3 Then David came to his palace at Jerusalem, and the king took the ten women his secondary wives, whom he had left to keep the palace, and placed them under guard, and provided for them, but did not go in to them. So they were kept in confinement until the day of their death, living as widows.
Kad se David vratio u svoju palaču u Jeruzalem, uze deset inoča koje je bio ostavio da čuvaju palaču i stavi ih da budu čuvane. Brinuo im se za uzdržavanje, ali nije više išao k njima. Tako su one živjele zatvorene do svoje smrti, kao udovice živoga muža.
4 Then the king said to Amasa, "Summon the men of Judah to me within three days, and be present here yourself."
Potom kralj zapovjedi Amasi: “Sazovi mi Judejce do tri dana, a i ti da budeš ovdje!”
5 So Amasa went to summon Judah together, but he delayed beyond the set time that had been allotted him.
Amasa ode da sazove Judejce, ali se zadrža preko vremena koje mu bijaše odredio kralj.
6 David said to Abishai, "Now Sheba the son of Bikri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Now then, take your lord's servants with you and pursue after him, otherwise he will get himself to fortified cities and escape from us."
Tada David reče Abišaju: “Sad će nam Bikrijev sin Šeba biti opasniji nego Abšalom. Zato uzmi ljude svoga gospodara i pođi za njim u potjeru da se ne domogne tvrdih gradova i ne izmakne nam iz očiju!”
7 So there went out after him Joab's men and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and all the warriors. And they went out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba son of Bikri.
Za Abišajem krenu na put Joab, Kerećani, Pelećani i svi junaci; oni iziđu iz Jeruzalema u potjeru za Bikrijevim sinom Šebom.
8 When they were at the great stone that is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. And Joab was wearing his military attire, and over it was a belt with a dagger in its sheath fastened at his waist, and as he advanced it fell out.
Kad su bili kod velikoga kamena što je kod Gibeona, dođe Amasa prema njima. Joab imaše na sebi ratnu haljinu, a preko nje imaše pripasan mač uz bedro, u koricama; ali mu se mač iskliznu i pade.
9 And Joab said to Amasa, "Is it well with you, my brother?" Then Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
Joab pozdravi Amasu: “Jesi li mi dobro, brate?” I desnom rukom uhvati za bradu Amasu da ga poljubi.
10 But Amasa did not notice the sword that was in Joab's hand. And he stabbed him with it in the abdomen, so that his intestines spilled out on the ground, and he did not do it to him again. Thus he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba son of Bikri.
Amasa se nije obazirao na mač koji bijaše Joabu u ruci, i on ga udari njim u trbuh i prosu mu utrobu na zemlju. Nije morao ponoviti udarac i Amasa umrije. Joab sa svojim bratom Abišajem nastavi potjeru za Bikrijevim sinom Šebom.
11 And one of Joab's young men stood beside Amasa and said, "Whoever is the one that favors Joab and whoever belongs to David, follow Joab."
Jedan od Joabovih momaka osta na straži kod Amase i tu je vikao: “Kome je mio Joab i tko je za Davida neka slijedi Joaba!”
12 But Amasa lay covered with his blood in the midst of the road, and anyone who came by, seeing him, stopped. So when the man saw that all the people stopped, he dragged Amasa from the road into a field and threw a garment over him.
A Amasa ležao u krvi nasred puta. Videći onaj čovjek gdje se ustavlja sav narod, odvuče Amasu s puta u polje i baci preko njega kabanicu jer je vidio gdje se zaustavlja svatko tko naiđe blizu njega.
13 When he was removed from the road, all the people followed Joab in pursuit of Sheba son of Bikri.
Kad je Amasa bio uklonjen s puta, svi ljudi pođoše za Joabom da gone Bikrijeva sina Šebu.
14 He went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel of Beth Maacah, and all the Bikrites assembled and followed him.
Šeba je prošao kroza sva izraelska plemena sve do Abel Bet Maake i svi Bikrani s njim. Skupiše se oni i pođoše za njim.
15 And all the people who were with Joab came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maacah. And they built a siege ramp against the city, and it stood against the rampart, and they were battering the wall so that it would collapse.
Joab dođe i opsjede ga u Abel Bet Maaki. Dade nasuti nasip oko grada. Sva vojska koja bijaše s Joabom navali potkopavati zid da ga obori.
16 Then a wise woman called out from the wall, "Listen, listen. Please tell Joab to come here so that I may speak to him.
Tada se jedna mudra žena uspe na zid i povika iz grada: “Čujte! Čujte! Recite Joabu: 'Priđi ovamo, da govorim s tobom!'”
17 So he approached her, and the woman said, "Are you Joab?" And he replied, "I am." Then she said, "Listen to the words of your servant." And he replied, "I'm listening."
Kad je prišao, upita žena: “Jesi li ti Joab?” On odgovori: “Jesam.” A ona će: “Poslušaj riječ sluškinje svoje!” On odgovori: “Slušam.”
18 Then she said, "In the past they used to say, 'Let them inquire in Abel and in Dan whether
Žena nastavi: “Nekoć se govorilo ovako: 'Treba pitati u Abelu i u Danu
19 that which the faithful of Israel established has been carried out.' You seek to destroy a city that is a mother in Israel. Why do you want to swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?"
je li svršeno s onim što su utvrdili vjernici u Izraelu.' Ti bi htio uništiti jedan grad, i to jedan od matičnih gradova u Izraelu. Zašto zatireš baštinu Jahvinu?”
20 Joab answered, "Far be it from me that I should swallow up or destroy.
Joab odgovori ovako: “Daleko, daleko bilo to od mene! Ne želim ni zatirati ni razarati.
21 That is not the case. But a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bikri, has rebelled against king David. Give up him alone and I will withdraw from the city." Then the woman said to Joab, "Look, his head will be thrown to you from the wall."
Ne radi se o tome, nego je jedan čovjek iz Efrajimove gore, po imenu Šeba, Bikrijev sin, podigao ruku na kralja, na Davida. Predajte samo njega, pa ću otići od grada!” Žena odgovori Joabu: “Dobro. Odmah će ti njegovu glavu baciti preko zida!”
22 Then she spoke to all the city with her wise advice, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bikri and threw it out to Joab. So he blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from him, each returning to his home. And Joab went back to Jerusalem to the king.
Žena se vrati u grad i progovori svemu narodu kako joj je govorila njezina mudrost. I odsjekoše glavu Bikrijevu sinu Šebi i baciše je Joabu. A on zapovjedi da zatrube u rog te se raziđoše od grada, svaki u svoj kraj. A Joab se vrati kralju u Jeruzalem.
23 Now Joab was in command of the entire army of Israel; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was in command of the Cherethites and in command of the Pelethites;
Joab je bio zapovjednik nad svom vojskom. Jojadin sin Benaja bio je zapovjednik nad Kerećanima i Pelećanima.
24 and Adoniram was in command of the forced labor; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
Adoram je bio nadglednik nad radovima. Ahiludov sin Jošafat bio je pečatnik.
25 and Shisha was scribe; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
Seraja je bio državni pisar. Sadok i Ebjatar bijahu svećenici.
26 and also Ira the Jairite was David's priest.
Uz to je Jairanin Ira bio zamjenik Davidov.
