2 Samuel 2
1 After this David asked Yahweh and said, “Should I go up to one of the cities of Judah?” Yahweh replied to him, “Go up.” David said, “To which city should I go?” Yahweh replied, “To Hebron.”
A poslije toga David upita Gospoda govoreæi: hoæu li otiæi u koji grad Judin? A Gospod mu reèe: otidi. A David reèe: u koji da otidem? Reèe: Hevron.
2 So David went up with his two wives, Ahinoam from Jezreel, and Abigail from Carmel, the widow of Nabal.
I David otide onamo sa dvije žene svoje, Ahinoamom iz Jezraela i Avigejom koja prije bješe žena Navala iz Karmila.
3 David brought the men who were with him, who each brought his family, to the cities of Hebron, where they began to live.
I ljude koji bijahu s njim odvede David, sve s porodicama njihovijem, i nastaniše se po gradovima Hevronskim.
4 Then men from Judah came and anointed David king over the house of Judah. They told David, “The men of Jabesh Gilead have buried Saul.”
I doðoše ljudi od Jude, i pomazaše ondje Davida za cara nad domom Judinijem. I javiše Davidu govoreæi: ljudi iz Javisa Galadova pogreboše Saula.
5 So David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead and said to them, “You are blessed by Yahweh, since you have showed this loyalty to your master Saul and have buried him.
I David posla poslanike k ljudima u Javisu Galadovu, i reèe im: da ste blagosloveni Gospodu što uèiniste milost gospodaru svojemu, Saulu, i pogreboste ga.
6 Now may Yahweh show you covenantal loyalty and faithfulness. I also will show you this goodness because you have done this thing.
Zato da uèini Gospod vama milost i vjeru; a ja æu vam uèiniti dobro, što ste to uèinili.
7 Now then, let your hands be strong; be courageous for Saul your master is dead, and the house of Judah has anointed me king over them.”
I neka vam se ukrijepe ruke i budite hrabri; jer Saul gospodar vaš pogibe, a dom Judin pomaza mene za cara nad sobom.
8 But Abner son of Ner, commander of Saul's army, took Ishbosheth son of Saul and brought him to Mahanaim.
Ali Avenir sin Nirov vojvoda Saulov uze Isvosteja sina Saulova, i odvede ga u Mahanajim.
9 He made Ishbosheth king over Gilead, Asher, Jezreel, Ephraim, Benjamin, and over all Israel.
I zacari ga nad Galadom i nad Asurom i Jezraelom i Jefremom i Venijaminom i nad svijem Izrailjem.
10 Ishbosheth son of Saul, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
Èetrdeset godina bješe Isvosteju sinu Saulovu kad poèe carovati nad Izrailjem; i carova dvije godine. Samo dom Judin držaše se Davida.
11 The time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
A David carova u Hevronu nad domom Judinijem sedam godina i šest mjeseca.
12 Abner son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
Potom izide Avenir sin Nirov i sluge Isvosteja sina Saulova iz Mahanajima u Gavaon.
13 Joab son of Zeruiah and the servants of David went out and met them by the pool of Gibeon. There they sat down, one group on one side of the pool and the other on the other side.
Takoðe i Joav sin Serujin i sluge Davidove izidoše i sretoše se s njima kod jezera Gavaonskoga, i stadoše jedni s jedne strane jezera a drugi s druge strane.
14 Abner said to Joab, “Let the young men arise and compete before us.” Then Joab said, “Let them arise.”
Tada reèe Avenir Joavu: neka ustanu momci i neka se proigraju pred nama. I reèe Joav: neka ustanu.
15 Then the young men got up and gathered together, twelve for Benjamin and Ishbosheth son of Saul, and twelve from servants of David.
I ustaše, i izidoše na broj: dvanaest od Venijamina sa strane Isvosteja sina Saulova, i dvanaest izmeðu sluga Davidovijeh.
16 Each man seized his opponent by the head and thrust his sword into the side of his opponent, and they fell down together. Therefore that place was called “Helkath Hazzurim,” or “Field of Swords,” which is in Gibeon.
I uhvatiše jedan drugoga za glavu, i tisnu jedan drugomu maè svoj u bok, i popadaše zajedno. Otuda se prozva ono mjesto Halkat-Asurim kod Gavaona.
17 The battle was very severe that day and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated before the servants of David.
I bi žestok boj onoga dana; i sluge Davidove razbiše Avenira i Izrailjce.
18 The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel. Asahel was swift in his feet like a wild gazelle.
A ondje bijahu tri sina Serujina: Joav i Avisaj i Asailo. A Asailo bijaše lak na nogu kao srna u polju;
19 Asahel closely pursued Abner and followed him without turning away in any direction.
I potjera Asailo Avenira, i ne svrnu ni nadesno ni nalijevo iza Avenira.
20 Abner looked behind him and said, “Is that you Asahel?” He answered, “It is I.”
I Avenir obazre se natrag i reèe: jesi li ti, Asailo? A on reèe: ja sam.
21 Abner said to him, “Turn aside to your right or to your left, and seize one of the young men and take his armor.” But Asahel would not turn aside.
A Avenir mu reèe: svrni nadesno ili nalijevo, i uzmi jednoga od tijeh momaka, i skini odoru s njega. Ali ne htje Asailo svrnuti iza njega.
22 So Abner said again to Asahel, “Stop pursuing me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I hold up my face to Joab, your brother?”
I Avenir opet reèe Asailu: otstupi od mene; zašto da te sastavim sa zemljom? i kako bih smeo pogledati u Joava brata tvojega?
23 But Asahel refused to turn aside, and so Abner stabbed him in the body with the blunt end of his spear, so that the spear came out the other side. Asahel fell down and died there. So it came about that anyone who arrived at the place where Asahel fell down and died, he stopped and stood still.
Ali on ne htje otstupiti; i Avenir ga udari kopljem pod peto rebro, i izaðe mu koplje na leða, te on pade ondje i umrije na mjesto. I ko god doðe na ono mjesto gdje pade i pogibe Asailo, ustavljaše se.
24 But Joab and Abishai pursued Abner. When the sun was going down, they came to the hill of Ammah, which is near Giah by the road to the wilderness of Gibeon.
Ali Joav i Avisaj potjeraše Avenira, i sunce zaðe kad doðoše do brda Ame, koja je prema Giji na putu u pustinju Gavaonsku.
25 The men of Benjamin gathered themselves together behind Abner and stood on the top of the hill.
I skupiše se sinovi Venijaminovi za Avenirom, te se naèini èeta, i stadoše na vrh jednoga brda.
26 Then Abner called to Joab and said, “Must the sword devour forever? Do you not know it will be bitter in the end? How long will it be before you tell your men to stop pursuing their brothers?”
I Avenir viknu Joava i reèe: hoæe li maè proždirati dovijeka? ne znaš li da jadi bivaju napošljetku? zašto veæ ne kažeš narodu da se proðu braæe svoje?
27 Joab replied, “Just as God lives, if you had not said that, my soldiers would have pursued their brothers until the morning!”
A Joav reèe: tako živ bio Bog, da nijesi kazao, narod bi još jutros otišao, nijedan ne bi tjerao brata svojega.
28 So Joab blew the trumpet, and all his men stopped and did not pursue Israel anymore, nor did they fight anymore.
Tada zatrubi Joav u trubu, i ustavi se sav narod i prestaše tjerati Izrailja, i ne biše se više.
29 Abner and his men traveled all that night through the Arabah. They crossed the Jordan, marched all the next morning, and then reached Mahanaim.
I tako Avenir i ljudi njegovi idoše preko polja cijelu onu noæ, i prijeðoše preko Jordana, i prošavši sav Vitron doðoše u Mahanajim.
30 Joab returned from pursuing Abner. He assembled all his men, from whom were missing Asahel and nineteen of David's soldiers.
A Joav se vrati od Avenira, i kad skupi sav narod, ne bješe od sluga Davidovijeh devetnaest ljudi i Asaila.
31 But the men of David had killed 360 men of Benjamin with Abner.
Ali sluge Davidove pobiše sinova Venijaminovijeh, ljudi Avenirovijeh, tri stotine i šezdeset ljudi, koji izgiboše.
32 Then they took up Asahel and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. Joab and his men traveled all night, and the day dawned on them at Hebron.
A Asaila uzeše i pogreboše u grobu oca njegova koji bijaše u Vitlejemu. I Joav i ljudi njegovi idoše svu noæ, i osvanuše u Hevronu.
