2 Samuel 17
1 Then Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Allow me to choose 12,000 men, and I will leave [with them] tonight to pursue David.
Poleg tega je Ahitófel rekel Absalomu. »Naj sedaj izberem dvanajst tisoč mož in vstal bom in to noč zasledoval Davida
2 We will attack him while he is tired and discouraged, and cause him to be very frightened. All the soldiers who are with him will run away. We will kill only the king.
in prišel bom nadenj, medtem ko je izmučen in slabotnih rok in ga prestrašil. Vse ljudstvo, ki je z njim, bo pobegnilo, udaril pa bom samo kralja
3 Then we will bring back all his soldiers to you, like [SIM] a (bride/woman comes to her husband when she is married). You are wanting to kill only one man; so the other people will not be harmed.”
in vse ljudstvo bom privedel nazaj k tebi. Mož, ki ga iščeš, je kakor, če se vsi vrnejo; tako bo vse ljudstvo v miru.«
4 Absalom and all the Israeli leaders [who were with him] thought that what Ahithophel said would be good to do.
Beseda je dobro ugajala Absalomu in vsem Izraelovim starešinam.
5 But Absalom said, “Summon Hushai also, and we will hear what he suggests.”
Potem je Absalom rekel: »Pokličite sedaj tudi Arkéjca Hušája in naj slišimo tudi, kaj pravi on.«
6 So when Hushai arrived, Absalom told him what Ahithophel had suggested. Then he asked Hushai, “What do you think we should do? If you do not think that we should do what Ahithophel suggests, tell us [what you think that we should do].”
Ko je Hušáj prišel k Absalomu, mu je Absalom spregovoril, rekoč: »Ahitófel je govoril na ta način. Ali naj storimo po njegovem govoru? Če ne, ti spregovori.«
7 Hushai replied, “This time what Ahithophel has suggested is not good advice.
Hušáj je rekel Absalomu: »Nasvet, ki ti ga je tokrat dal Ahitófel, ni dober.
8 You know that your father and the men who are with him are strong soldiers, and that now they are very angry, like [SIM] a mother bear whose cubs have been stolen from her. Furthermore, your father knows how to fight because he has fought in many battles. He will not stay with his troops during the night.
Kajti, « je rekel Hušáj, »poznaš svojega očeta in njegove može, da so mogočni možje in v svojih mislih komaj čakajo, kakor medvedka, oropana svojih mladičev, na polju. In tvoj oče je bojevnik in ne bo prenočeval z ljudstvom.
9 Right now he is probably already hiding in one of the pits, or in some other place. [If his soldiers start to attack your soldiers, and] if they kill some of them, whoever hears about that will say ‘Many of the soldiers with Absalom have been killed!’
Glej, sedaj je skrit v neki jami ali na nekem drugem kraju. In zgodilo se bo, ko bodo na začetku nekateri izmed njih premagani, da kdorkoli to sliši, bo rekel: ›Tam je pokol med ljudstvom, ki sledijo Absalomu.‹
10 Then your other soldiers, even if they are as fearless [SIM, IDM] as lions, they will become very afraid. Do not forget that everyone in Israel knows that your father is a great/strong soldier, and that the soldiers who are with him are also very brave/courageous.
Tudi tisti, ki je hraber, katerega srce je kakor srce leva, se bo popolnoma stopil, kajti ves Izrael ve, da je tvoj oče mogočen človek in tisti, ki so z njim, so hrabri možje.
11 “So what I suggest is that you summon all the Israeli soldiers, from Dan [in the far north] to Beersheba [in the far south]. They will be as many as the grains of sand on the seashore [HYP]. And then you yourself lead us into the battle.
Zato svetujem, da se ves Izrael nasploh zbere k tebi, od Dana, celo do Beeršébe, kakor je peska, ki je pri morju zaradi množice in da greš ti osebno v bitko.
12 We will find [your father], wherever he is, and we will attack him [from all sides], like [SIM] dew covers all the ground. And neither he nor any of the soldiers who are with him will survive.
Tako bomo prišli nadenj na nekem kraju, kjer bo najden in posvetili bomo nanj, kakor rosa pada na tla in od njega in od vseh mož, ki so z njim, tam ne bo nihče ostal.
13 If he escapes into some city, all our soldiers will bring ropes and pull that city down into the valley. As a result, not one stone will be left there [on top of the hill where that city was]!”
Poleg tega, če bo odšel v mesto, potem bo ves Izrael do tega mesta prinesel vrvi in potegnili ga bomo v reko, dokler ne bo tam najden niti en majhen kamen.«
14 Absalom and all the other Israeli men [who were with him] said, “What Hushai suggests is better than what Ahithophel suggested.” The reason that happened was that Yahweh had determined that if they would accept the good advice that Ahithophel had given them, [they would have been able to defeat/kill David]. But [as a result of their doing what Hushai suggested], Yahweh would cause a disaster to happen to Absalom.
Absalom in vsi možje iz Izraela so rekli: »Nasvet Arkéjca Hušája je boljši kakor nasvet Ahitófela.« Kajti Gospod je določil, da porazi dober Ahitófelov nasvet, z namenom, da bo Gospod lahko privedel zlo nad Absaloma.
15 Then Hushai told the two priests, Zadok and Abiathar, what both he and Ahithophel had suggested to Absalom and the Israeli leaders.
Potem je Hušáj rekel Cadóku in duhovniku Abjatárju: »Tako in tako je Ahitófel svetoval Absalomu in starešinam Izraela, in tako in tako sem svetoval jaz.
16 Then he said to them, “Send [a message] quickly to David. Tell him to not stay at the place where people walk across the river, near the desert. Instead, he and his soldiers must cross [the Jordan River] immediately, in order that they will not be killed/wiped out.”
Zdaj torej hitro pošlji in povej Davidu, rekoč: ›To noč ne prenočuj na ravninah divjine, temveč naglo prečkaj, da te ne bi kralj požrl in vse ljudstvo, ki je z njim.‹«
17 [The priest’s two sons, ] Jonathan and Ahimaaz, were waiting at En-Rogel [Spring], outside Jerusalem. They did not [dare to] enter the city, because if someone saw them, [he would report it to Absalom]. [While they were at En-Rogel, ] a female servant [of the two priests] would frequently go to them and report to them [what was happening], and then they would go and report it to King David.
Torej Jonatan in Ahimáac sta ostala v En Rogelu, kajti nista smela biti videna, da pridete v mesto. In deklina je odšla in jima povedala. Odšla sta ter povedala kralju Davidu.
18 But a young man saw them, and went and reported it to Absalom. [They found out what the young man had done, ] so both of them left quickly and went to stay in the house of a man in Bahurim. That man had a well in his courtyard; so the two men went down into the well [to hide].
Kljub temu ju je videl deček in povedal Absalomu. Toda oba izmed njiju sta hitro odšla proč in prišla k hiši človeka v Bahurímu, ki je na svojem dvorišču imela vodnjak, kamor sta se spustila.
19 The man’s wife took a cloth/mat and covered the well, and scattered grain on top of it in order that no one would know [that two men were hiding inside it].
Ženska je vzela [pokrivalo] in pokrivalo razprostrla čez ustje vodnjaka in nanj raztresla zmleto žito in stvar ni bila znana.
20 Some of Absalom’s soldiers [found out where the two men had gone. So they] went to the house, and asked the woman, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” She replied, “They crossed the river.” So the soldiers [crossed the river and] searched for them. But they could not find them, so they returned to Jerusalem.
Ko so Absalomovi služabniki prišli v hišo k ženski, so rekli: »Kje sta Ahimáac in Jonatan?« Ženska jim je rekla: »Odšla sta čez vodni potok.« Ko pa so ju iskali in ju niso mogli najti, so se vrnili v Jeruzalem.
21 After they had gone, the two men came out of the well and went and reported to King David [what had happened and] what Ahithophel had suggested. Then they said to him, “Cross the river quickly!”
Pripetilo se je, potem ko so odšli, da sta prišla ven iz vodnjaka in odšla in kralju Davidu povedala in Davidu rekla: »Vstani in hitro prečkaj vodo, kajti Ahitófel je tako svetoval zoper tebe.«
22 So David and all his soldiers quickly started to cross the Jordan [River], and by dawn they had all crossed to the other side.
Potem je David vstal in vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim in so prečkali Jordan. Do jutranje svetlobe ni manjkal niti eden izmed teh, ki so prečkali Jordan.
23 When Ahithophel realized that Absalom was not going to do what he suggested, he put a saddle on his donkey and returned to his own town. He gave [to his family] instructions about his possessions, and then he hanged himself [because he knew that Absalom would be defeated and that he would be considered a traitor and be killed]. His body was buried in the tomb where his ancestors [had been buried].
Ko je Ahitófel videl, da njegov nasvet ni bil sleden, je osedlal svojega osla, vstal in se spravil domov k svoji hiši, k svojemu mestu in svojo družino postavil v red in samega sebe obesil in umrl in bil pokopan v mavzoleju svojega očeta.
24 David [and his soldiers] arrived at Mahanaim. And Absalom [and all his Israeli soldiers] also crossed the Jordan [River].
Potem je David prišel v Mahanájim. Absalom pa je prečkal Jordan, on in vsi možje iz Izraela z njim.
25 Absalom had appointed [his cousin] Amasa to be the commander of his army, instead of Joab. Amasa was the son of a man named Jether, a descendant of Ishmael. Amasa’s mother was Abigail, the daughter of Nahash and the sister of Joab’s mother Zeruiah.
Absalom je namesto Joába za poveljnika vojske postavil Amasája. Ta Amasá je bil sin moža, katerega ime je bilo Itra, Izraelec, ki je odšel noter k Naháševi hčeri Abigájili, sestri Joábove matere Cerúje.
26 Absalom and his Israeli soldiers set up their tents in [the] Gilead [region].
Tako so Izrael in Absalom taborili v deželi Gileád.
27 When David [and his soldiers] arrived at Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah [city] in the Ammon area, and Machir the son of Ammiel from Lo-Debar [city], and Barzillai from Rogelim [town] in [the] Gilead [region]
Pripetilo se je, ko je David prišel v Mahanájim, da so Nahášev sin Šobí, iz Rabe Amónovih otrok in Amiélov sin Mahír iz Lo Dabárja in Gileádec Barziláj iz Roglíma
28 brought sleeping mats, bowls, clay pots, barley, wheat flour, parched grain, beans, and lentils to them.
prinesli postelje, umivalnike, lončene posode ter pšenico, ječmen, moko, praženo zrnje, fižol, lečo, posušene stročnice,
29 They brought honey and curds, sheep, and some cream/cheese for David and his soldiers to eat. They knew that David and his soldiers would be hungry and tired and thirsty [from marching] in the desert.
med, maslo, ovce in kravji sir za Davida in za ljudstvo, ki je bilo z njim, da jedo, kajti rekli so: »Ljudstvo je lačno, izmučeno in žejno v divjini.«
