2 Samuel 21
1 And there came to be a famine, in the days of David, for three years, year after year, so then David sought the face of Yahweh, —and Yahweh said—It respecteth Saul and his house, as to bloodshed, in that he put to death the Gibeonites.
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 The king therefore called the Gibeonites, and said unto them (now, the Gibeonites, were, not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, with whom, the sons of Israel, had entered into an oath, and Saul had sought to smite them, in his jealousy 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 wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites—What shall I do for you, and wherewith shall I make propitiation, so that ye may bless the inheritance of Yahweh?
David, dakle, upita Gibeonce: “Što da vam učinim i čime da vam dadem zadovoljštinu da biste blagoslovili baštinu Jahvinu?”
4 And the Gibeonites said unto him—It is not a matter with us of silver or gold, with Saul or with his house, neither would we have a man put to death in Israel. And he said, —What do ye say I should do for 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 Then said they unto the king, The man who consumed us, and who thought to have destroyed us from taking a place within any of the bounds 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 delivered up to us—seven men of his sons, and we will crucify them unto Yahweh in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Yahweh. And the king said, I, will deliver them up.
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 But the king had pity upon Mephibosheth, son of Jonathan, Saul’s son, —because of the oath of Yahweh that was between them, between David and Jonathan, Saul’s son.
Kralj poštedje Meribaala, sina Šaulova sina Jonatana, zbog zakletve pred Jahvom koja ih je vezala, Davida i Jonatana, sina Šaulova.
8 So the king took the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she had borne to Saul, even Armoni and Mephibosheth, —and the five sons of Michal daughter of Saul, whom she had borne 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 delivered them up into the hand of the Gibeonites, and they crucified them in the mountain, before Yahweh, so they seven fell together, —they being put to death in the first days of harvest, in the beginning of the 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 Then Rizpah daughter of Aiah, took sackcloth, and spread it out for herself, on the rock, from the beginning of harvest, until water poured out upon them from the heavens, —and suffered neither the birds of the heavens to rest on them by day, nor the wild beasts of the field, [to devour them] 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 was told David, —what Rizpah daughter of Aiah, Saul’s concubine, had done.
Kad su Davidu javili što je učinila Ajina kći Rispa, Šaulova inoča,
12 So David went and fetched the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the owners of Jabesh-gilead, —who stole them from the broadway of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, on the day when the Philistines had smitten 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 brought up from thence the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, —and they gathered together the bones of them who had been crucified;
David prenese odande Šaulove kosti i kosti njegova sina Jonatana pa ih združi s kostima pogubljenih.
14 so they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin, in Zelah, in the grave of Kish his father, thus did they all that the king commanded, —and God suffered himself to be entreated for the land, after this.
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 the Philistines had yet again a war with Israel, —so David went down, and his servants with him, and fought the Philistines, and David became faint.
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 So, Ishbi-benob, who was of the descendants of the giant, the weight of whose spear-head, was three hundred shekels of bronze, he also being newly armed, thought to smite 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 but Abishai son of Zeruiah, came to his help, and smote the Philistine, and slew him. Then, sware the men of David unto him, saying—Thou must not go forth any more with us, to battle, that thou quench not 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 came to pass, after this, that there was yet again a battle in Gob, with the Philistines, —then, Sibbekai the Hushathite smote Saph, who was of the descendants of the giant.
Poslije toga opet izbi rat s Filistejcima u Gobu; tada je Hušanin Sibkaj pogubio Sipaja, jednoga od Rafinih potomaka.
19 And there was yet again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, —when Elhanan son of Jaare-oregim of Bethlehem, smote Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s 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 there was yet again a battle in Gath; when there was a man of stature, with six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; he also, having 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 but, when he reproached Israel, Jonathan son of Shimeah David’s brother, smote, him.
Kad je počeo ružiti Izraela, ubi ga Jonatan, sin Davidova brata Šimeja.
22 These four, had been born to the giant in Gath, —but they fell 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.
