2 Samuel 2
1 After this, David enquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?” The LORD said to him, “Go up.” David said, “Where shall I go up?” He said, “To Hebron.”
Pripetilo se je po tem, da je David poizvedel od Gospoda, rekoč: »Ali naj grem gor v katerokoli izmed Judovih mest?« Gospod mu je rekel: »Pojdi gor.« David mu je rekel: »Kam naj grem gor?« Rekel je: »V Hebrón.«
2 So David went up there with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Tako je David odšel tja gor in tudi dve njegovi ženi: Jezreélka Ahinóam in Abigájila, žena Karmélčana Nabála.
3 David brought up his men who were with him, every man with his household. They lived in the cities of Hebron.
Njegove može, ki so bili z njim, je David privedel gor, vsakega moža s svojo družino in prebivali so v mestih Hebróna.
4 The men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. They told David, “The men of Jabesh Gilead were those who buried Saul.”
Možje iz Juda so prišli in tam mazilili Davida [za] kralja nad Judovo hišo. In povedali so Davidu, rekoč: » Da so bili možje iz Jabéš Gileáda tisti, ki so pokopali Savla.«
5 David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, “Blessed are you by the LORD, that you have shown this kindness to your lord, even to Saul, and have buried him.
David je poslal poslance k ljudem iz Jabéš Gileáda ter jim rekel: »Blagoslovljeni bodite od Gospoda, da ste izkazali to prijaznost našemu gospodu Savlu in ga pokopali.
6 Now may the LORD show loving kindness and truth to you. I also will reward you for this kindness, because you have done this thing.
Sedaj naj vam Gospod izkaže prijaznost in resnico in tudi jaz vam bom poplačal to prijaznost, ker ste storili to stvar.
7 Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.”
Zato naj bodo sedaj vaše roke okrepljene in bodite hrabri, kajti vaš gospodar Savel je mrtev in tudi Judova hiša me je mazilila [za] kralja nad seboj.«
8 Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s army, had taken Ishbosheth the son of Saul and brought him over to Mahanaim.
Toda Nerov sin Abnêr, poveljnik Savlove vojske, je vzel Savlovega sina Iš Bošeta, in ga privedel preko, v Mahanájim
9 He made him king over Gilead, over the Ashurites, over Jezreel, over Ephraim, over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
in ga postavil [za] kralja nad Gileádom, nad Ašhúrci, nad Jezreélom, nad Efrájimom, nad Benjaminom in nad vsem Izraelom.
10 Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
Savlov sin Iš Bošet je bil star štirideset let, ko je začel kraljevati nad Izraelom in kraljeval je dve leti. Toda Judova hiša je sledila Davidu.
11 The time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
In časa, ko je bil David kralj v Hebrónu, nad Judovo hišo, je bilo sedem let in šest mesecev.
12 Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
In Nerov sin Abnêr in služabniki Savlovega sina Iš Bošeta so iz Mahanájima odšli v Gibeón.
13 Joab the son of Zeruiah and David’s servants went out, and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool and the other on the other side of the pool.
In Cerújin sin Joáb in Davidovi služabniki so odšli ven in se srečali pri Gibeónskem ribniku in se usedli, eni na eni strani ribnika, drugi pa na drugi strani ribnika.
14 Abner said to Joab, “Please let the young men arise and compete before us!” Joab said, “Let them arise!”
Abnêr je rekel Joábu: »Naj mladeniči sedaj vstanejo in igrajo pred nami.« Joáb je rekel: »Naj vstanejo.«
15 Then they arose and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin and for Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of David’s servants.
Potem so se tam vzdignili in odšli čez, po številu dvanajst iz Benjamina, ki je pripadal Iš Bošetovemu sinu Savlu in dvanajst izmed Davidovih služabnikov.
16 They each caught his opponent by the head and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place in Gibeon was called Helkath Hazzurim.
Vsak je zgrabil drugega za glavo in svoj meč porinil v njegovo stran. Tako so skupaj padli dol, zato je bil ta kraj imenovan Helkat-hazurim, ki je v Gibeónu.
17 The battle was very severe that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before David’s servants.
Tam je bila ta dan zelo huda bitka in Abnêr je bil poražen in Izraelovi možje, pred Davidovimi služabniki.
18 The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Asahel was as light of foot as a wild gazelle.
Bili so trije Cerújini sinovi: Joáb, Abišáj in Asaél. Asaél je bil kakor svetloba stopala, kakor divja srna.
19 Asahel pursued Abner. He didn’t turn to the right hand or to the left from following Abner.
Asaél je zasledoval Abnêrja in ko je šel, se ni obrnil ne k desni roki niti ne k levi od zasledovanja Abnêrja.
20 Then Abner looked behind him and said, “Is that you, Asahel?” He answered, “It is.”
Potem je Abnêr pogledal za seboj in rekel: » Ali si ti Asaél?« Odgovoril je: »Jaz sem.«
21 Abner said to him, “Turn away to your right hand or to your left, and grab one of the young men, and take his armour.” But Asahel would not turn away from following him.
Abnêr mu je rekel: »Obrni se vstran k svoji desni roki ali k svoji levi in primi enega izmed mladeničev in si vzemi njegovo bojno opremo.« Toda Asaél se ni hotel obrniti od sledenja za njim.
22 Abner said again to Asahel, “Turn away from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I look Joab your brother in the face?”
Abnêr je ponovno rekel Asaélu: »Obrni se stran od sledenja za menoj. Zakaj bi te udaril k tlom? Kako bi potem svoj obraz dvignil k tvojemu bratu Joábu?«
23 However, he refused to turn away. Therefore Abner with the back end of the spear struck him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there and died in the same place. As many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
Vendar je ta odklonil, da se obrne vstran. Zato ga je Abnêr z zadnjim delom sulice udaril pod petim rebrom, da je sulica pogledala ven za njim; in tam je padel dol in umrl na istem kraju. Pripetilo se je, da kolikor jih je prišlo na kraj, kjer je Asaél padel dol in umrl, da so mirno stali.
24 But Joab and Abishai pursued Abner. The sun went down when they had come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
Tudi Joáb in Abišáj sta zasledovala Abnêrja. Sonce je zašlo, ko sta prišla k hribu Ame, ki leži pred Giahom, ob poti Gibeónske divjine.
25 The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner and became one band, and stood on the top of a hill.
Benjaminovi otroci so se zbrali skupaj za Abnêrjem in postali eno krdelo in stali na vrhu hriba.
26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, “Shall the sword devour forever? Don’t you know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? How long will it be then, before you ask the people to return from following their brothers?”
Potem je Abnêr zaklical Joábu in rekel: »Mar bo meč požiral na veke? Ali ne veš, da bo v zadnjem koncu to grenkoba? Doklej bo torej, preden boš svojemu ljudstvu naročil, naj se vrne od zasledovanja svojih bratov?«
27 Joab said, “As God lives, if you had not spoken, surely then in the morning the people would have gone away, and not each followed his brother.”
Joáb je rekel: » Kakor živi Bog, če ne bi spregovoril, bi potem zjutraj ljudstvo zagotovo odšlo gor, vsakdo od sledenja svojemu bratu.«
28 So Joab blew the shofar; and all the people stood still and pursued Israel no more, and they fought no more.
Tako je Joáb zatrobil na šofar in vse ljudstvo je mirno stalo in ni več zasledovalo Izraela niti se niso več bojevali.
29 Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and came to Mahanaim.
Abnêr in njegovi možje so vso to noč hodili skozi ravnino in prečkali Jordan in šli skozi ves Bitrón in prišli do Mahanájima.
30 Joab returned from following Abner; and when he had gathered all the people together, nineteen men of David’s and Asahel were missing.
Joáb se je vrnil od zasledovanja Abnêrja in ko je vse ljudstvo zbral skupaj, je od Davidovih služabnikov manjkalo devetnajst mož in Asaél.
31 But David’s servants had struck Benjamin Abner’s men so that three hundred and sixty men died.
Toda Davidovi služabniki so udarili Benjaminove in Abnêrjeve može, tako da je umrlo tristo šestdeset mož.
32 They took up Asahel and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. Joab and his men went all night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.
Pobrali so Asaéla in ga pokopali v mavzoleju njegovega očeta, ki je bil v Betlehemu. Joáb in njegovi možje pa so vso noč hodili ter ob svitu prišli v Hebrón.
