2 Samuel 21
1 During the time that David [ruled], there was a famine [in Israel] for three years. David prayed to Yahweh about it. And Yahweh said, “[In order for the famine to end], Saul’s family needs to be punished [MTY] because Saul killed many people from Gibeon [city].”
I bi glad za vremena Davidova tri godine zasopce. I David potraži lice Gospodnje; a Gospod mu reèe: to je sa Saula i s doma njegova krvnièkoga, što pogubi Gavaonjane.
2 The people of Gibeon were not Israelis; they were a small group of the Amor people-group whom the Israelis had solemnly promised to protect. But Saul had tried to kill all of them because he (was very zealous/wanted very much) to enable the people of Judah and Israel [to be the only ones living in that land]. So the king summoned the leaders of Gibeon
Tada car sazva Gavaonjane i govori im. A Gavaonjani ne bjehu od sinova Izrailjevijeh, nego ostatak od Amoreja, kojima se bjehu zakleli sinovi Izrailjevi, ali Saul gledaše da ih pobije revnujuæi za sinove Izrailjeve i Judine.
3 and said to them, “What shall I do for you? How can I make amends/up for what was done to your people, in order that you will bless us who belong to Yahweh?”
I reèe David Gavaonjanima: šta da vam uèinim i èim da vas namirim, da blagoslovite dostojanje Gospodnje?
4 They replied, “You cannot settle our quarrel with Saul and his family by giving us silver or gold. And we do not have the right to kill any Israelis.” So David asked, “Then/So what do you say that I should do for you?”
A Gavaonjani mu rekoše: ne tražimo ni srebra ni zlata od Saula ili od doma njegova, niti da se ko pogubi u Izrailju. A on reèe: šta dakle velite da vam uèinim?
5 They replied, “Saul [wanted to] get rid of us. He wanted to annihilate/kill all of us, in order that none of us would live anywhere in Israel.
Tada rekoše caru: ko nas je potro i radio da nas istrijebi, da nas ne bude nigdje u meðama Izrailjevijem,
6 Hand over to us seven of Saul’s descendants. We will hang them where Yahweh is worshiped in Gibeon, our town, the town where Saul, whom Yahweh previously chose to be king, lived.” The king replied, “Okay, I will hand them over to you.”
Od njegovijeh sinova neka nam se da sedam ljudi da ih objesimo Gospodu u Gavaji Saula izbranika Gospodnjega. I reèe car: ja æu dati.
7 The king did not hand over to them Saul’s grandson Mephibosheth, because of what he and [Mephibosheth’s father] Jonathan had solemnly promised to each other.
Ali car poštjede Mefivosteja sina Jonatana sina Saulova radi zakletve Gospodnje, koja bi meðu njima, meðu Davidom i Jonatanom sinom Saulovijem.
8 Instead, he took Armoni and another man named Mephibosheth, the two sons that Saul’s slave wife Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, had given birth to, and the five sons that Saul’s daughter Merab had given birth to. Merab’s husband was Adriel, the son of a man named Barzillai from Meholah [town].
I uze car dva sina Resfe kæeri Ajine, koje rodi Saulu, Armonija i Mefivosteja, i pet sinova Mihale kæeri Saulove, koje rodi Adrilu sinu Varzelaja Meolaæanina.
9 David handed those men over to the men from Gibeon. Then they hanged those seven men on a hill where they worshiped Yahweh. They were all killed during the time of the year that the people started to harvest the barley.
I dade ih u ruke Gavaonjanima, a oni ih objesiše na gori pred Gospodom; i sva sedmorica pogiboše zajedno; a biše ubijeni prvijeh dana žetve, u poèetku jeèmene žetve.
10 Then Rizpah took coarse cloth made from goats’ hair, and spread it on the rock [where the corpses lay]. She stayed there from the time that people started to harvest the barley until the rains started. She did not allow any birds to come near the corpses during the day, and she did not allow any animals to come near during the night.
A Resfa kæi Ajina uze vreæu, i prostrije po stijeni u poèetku žetve dokle ne pade na njih dažd s neba, i ne dadijaše pticama nebeskim da padaju na njih danju ni zvjerima poljskim noæu.
11 When someone told David what Rizpah had done,
I javiše Davidu šta uèini Resfa kæi Ajina, inoèa Saulova.
12 he went with some of his servants to Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] and got the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan. The people of Jabesh had stolen their bones from the (plaza/public square) in Beth-Shan [city], where the men from Philistia had hanged them previously, on the day that they had killed Saul and Jonathan on Gilboa [Mountain].
I David otide te uze kosti Saulove i kosti Jonatana sina njegova od graðana u Javisu Galadovu, koji ih bijahu ukrali s ulice Vet-Sanske, gdje ih objesiše Filisteji kad ubiše Filisteji Saula na Gelvuji.
13 David and his men took the bones of Saul and Jonathan, and they also took the bones of the seven men [from Gibeon] whom the men from Philistia had hanged.
I odnese odande kosti Saulove i kosti Jonatana sina njegova, pa skupiše i kosti obješenijeh.
14 They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan in Zela [town] in the land of [the tribe of] Benjamin. Doing all that the king commanded, they buried their bones in the tomb where Saul’s father Kish [was buried]. After that, [because] God [saw that Saul’s family had been punished to pay for Saul’s murder of many people from Gibeon, he] answered the Israelis’ prayers for their land, and caused the famine to end.
I pogreboše ih s kostima Saulovijem i Jonatana sina njegova u zemlji Venijaminovoj u Sili u grobu Kisa oca njegova, i uèiniše sve kako zapovjedi car. Tako se poslije toga umilostivi Gospod zemlji.
15 The army of Philistia again started to fight against the army of Israel. And David and his soldiers went to fight the Philistines. During the battle, David became weary.
I nasta opet rat izmeðu Filisteja i Izrailja, i David otide sa slugama svojim, i biše se s Filistejima tako da David susta.
16 One of the Philistia men thought that he could kill David. His name was Ishbi-Benob. He was a descendant of [a group of] giants. He carried a bronze spear that weighed about (7-1/2 pounds/3-1/2 kg.), and he also had a new sword.
Tada Jesvi-Venov, koji bješe od sinova Rafajevijeh, i u koplju mu bješe trista sikala mjedi, i imaše novo oružje, šæaše da ubije Davida.
17 But Abishai came to help David, and attacked the giant and killed him. Then David’s soldiers forced him to promise that he would not go with them into a battle again. They said to him, “[If you die, and none of your descendants become king, that would be like] [MET] extinguishing the last light in Israel.”
Ali mu pomože Avisaj sin Serujin, i udari Filistejina i ubi ga. Tada se zakleše ljudi Davidovi rekavši mu: neæeš više iæi s nama u boj da ne ugasiš vidjela Izrailjeva.
18 Some time after that, there was a battle with the army of Philistia near Gob [village]. During the battle, Sibbecai, from [the] Hushah [clan], killed Saph, one of the descendants of the Rapha giants.
Poslije toga nasta opet rat s Filistejima u Govu; i tada Sivehaj Husaæanin ubi Safa, koji bijaše od sinova Rafajevih.
19 [Later] there was another battle with the army of Philistia at Gob. During that battle, Elhanan, the son of Jaare-Oregim from Bethlehem, killed [the brother of] Goliath from Gath [city]; Goliath’s spear shaft/handle was (very thick, like the bar on a weaver’s loom/over two inches thick).
I opet nasta drugi rat u Govu s Filistejima; i tada Elhanan sin Jare-Oregimov Vitlejemac ubi brata Golijata Getejina, kojemu kopljaèa bješe kao vratilo.
20 Later there was another battle near Gath. There was a (huge man/giant) there who liked to fight [in battles]. He had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He was descended from [the] Rapha [giants].
I opet nasta rat u Gatu, gdje bijaše jedan èovjek vrlo visok, koji imaše po šest prsta na rukama i na nogama, svega dvadeset i èetiri, i on bijaše takoðer roda Rafajeva.
21 But when he (made fun of/ridiculed) the men in the Israeli [army], Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimeah, killed him.
I ružaše Izrailja, te ga ubi Jonatan sin Same brata Davidova.
22 Those four men were some of the descendants of the Rapha giants who had lived in Gath, who were killed [MTY] by David and his soldiers.
Ta èetvorica bijahu sinovi istoga Rafaja iz Gata, i pogiboše od ruke Davidove i od ruke sluga njegovijeh.
