< 2 Samuel 4 >

1 When Saul’s son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
A kad èu sin Saulov da je poginuo Avenir u Hevronu, klonuše mu ruke, i sav se Izrailj smete.
2 Saul’s son had two men who were captains of raiding bands. The name of one was Baanah and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin (for Beeroth also is considered a part of Benjamin;
A imaše sin Saulov dvije vojvode nad èetama; jednom bješe ime Vana, a drugom bješe ime Rihav, sinovi Rimona Viroæanina, od sinova Venijaminovijeh; jer se i Virot brojaše Venijaminu;
3 and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have lived as foreigners there until today).
A Viroæani bijahu pobjegli u Gitajim, gdje ostaše kao došljaci do današnjega dana.
4 Now Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the news came about Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel; and his nurse picked him up and fled. As she hurried to flee, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.
I imaše Jonatan sin Saulov sina hroma na nogu, kojemu bijaše pet godina kad doðe glas o smrti Saulovoj i Jonatanovoj iz Jezraela, te ga uze dadilja njegova i pobježe, i kad brzo bježaše, on pade i ohronu; a ime mu bijaše Mefivostej.
5 The sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went out and came at about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth as he took his rest at noon.
I poðoše sinovi Rimona Viroæanina, Rihav i Vana, i doðoše u podne u kuæu Isvostejevu; a on poèivaše u podne.
6 They came there into the middle of the house as though they would have fetched wheat, and they struck him in the body; and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
I uðoše u kuæu kao da uzmu pšenice, i probodoše ga pod peto rebro Rihav i Vana, i pobjegoše.
7 Now when they came into the house as he lay on his bed in his bedroom, they struck him, killed him, beheaded him, and took his head, and went by the way of the Arabah all night.
Kad uðoše u kuæu, on ležaše na postelji svojoj u klijeti gdje spavaše, te ga probodoše i ubiše, i otsjekoše mu glavu i uzeše je, pa otidoše putem preko polja cijelu onu noæ.
8 They brought the head of Ishbosheth to David to Hebron, and said to the king, “Behold, the head of Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life! The LORD has avenged my lord the king today of Saul and of his offspring.”
I donesoše glavu Isvostejevu Davidu u Hevron, i rekoše caru: evo glave Isvosteja sina Saulova, neprijatelja tvojega, koji je tražio dušu tvoju; i Gospod osveti danas cara gospodara mojega od Saula i sjemena njegova.
9 David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, “As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
Ali David odgovarajuæi Rihavu i Vani bratu njegovu, sinovima Rimona Viroæanina, reèe im: tako da je živ Gospod, koji je izbavio dušu moju iz svake nevolje.
10 when someone told me, ‘Behold, Saul is dead,’ thinking that he brought good news, I seized him and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news.
Kad onoga koji mi javi govoreæi: gle, pogibe Saul, i mišljaše da æe mi javiti dobre glase, uhvatih i ubih u Siklagu, i to mu bi od mene dar za glase njegove,
11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house on his bed, should I not now require his blood from your hand, and rid the earth of you?”
Akamoli ljude bezbožne, koji ubiše èovjeka prava, u kuæi njegovoj, na postelji njegovoj! neæu li iskati krvi njegove iz vaših ruku, i vas istrijebiti sa zemlje?
12 David commanded his young men, and they killed them, cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it in Abner’s grave in Hebron.
I zapovjedi David momcima svojim, te ih pogubiše, i otsjekoše im ruke i noge, i objesiše kod jezera Hevronskoga; a glavu Isvostejevu uzeše i pogreboše u grobu Avenirovu u Hevronu.
