< 2 Samuel 2 >
1 Therfor aftir these thingis Dauid counseilide the Lord, and seide, Whether Y schal stie in to oon of the citees of Juda? And the Lord seide to hym, Stie thou. And Dauid seide to the Lord, Whidur schal Y stie? And the Lord answeride to hym, In to Ebron.
Poslije toga David upita Jahvu ovako: “Treba li da pođem u koji Judin grad?” A Jahve mu odgovori: “Pođi!” David opet upita: “Kamo da pođem?” A odgovor bješe: “U Hebron!”
2 Therfor Dauid stiede, and hise twei wyues, Achynoem of Jezrael, and Abigail, the wijf of Nabal of Carmele.
Tako David ode onamo, a s njim i njegove dvije žene, Ahinoama iz Jizreela i Abigajila, Nabalova žena iz Karmela.
3 But also Dauid ledde the men that weren with hym, ech man with his hows; and thei dwelliden in the townes of Ebron.
I ljudi koji bijahu s Davidom odoše s njim, svaki sa svojom obitelji, i nastaniše se u gradićima Hebrona.
4 And the men of Juda camen, and anoyntiden there Dauid, that he schulde regne on the hows of Juda. And it was teld to Dauid, that men of Jabes of Galaad hadden biried Saul.
Tada dođoše ljudi iz Jude i pomazaše ondje Davida za kralja nad domom Judinim. Tada javiše Davidu da su ljudi iz Jabeša u Gileadu pokopali Šaula.
5 Therfor Dauid sente messangeris to the men of Jabes of Galaad, and seide to hem, Blessid be ye of the Lord, that diden this mercy with your lord Saul, and birieden hym.
Nato David posla glasnike k Jabešanima u Gileadu i poruči im: “Budite blagoslovljeni od Jahve što ste izvršili to djelo ljubavi prema svome gospodaru Šaulu i što ste ga pokopali!
6 And now sotheli the Lord schal yelde to you merci and treuthe, but also Y schal yelde thankyng, for ye diden this word.
Zato neka vam Jahve iskaže svoju ljubav i dobrotu, a i ja ću vam učiniti dobro zato što ste tako radili.
7 Youre hondis be coumfortid, and be ye sones of strengthe; for thouy youre lord Saul is deed, netheles the hows of Juda anoyntide me kyng to `hym silf.
A sada se ohrabrite i budite junaci, jer je Šaul, vaš gospodar, poginuo, a mene je Judin dom pomazao za svoga kralja.”
8 Forsothe Abner, the sone of Ner, prince of the oost of Saul, took Isbosech, the sone of Saul, and ledde hym aboute bi the castels,
Ali Abner, sin Nerov, vojvoda Šaulove vojske, bijaše uzeo Šaulova sina Išbaala i doveo ga prijeko u Mahanajim.
9 and made him kyng on Galaad, and on Gethsury, and on Jezrael, and on Effraym, and on Beniamyn, and on al Israel.
Ondje ga je postavio za kralja nad Gileadom, nad Ašeranima, nad Jizreelom, Efrajimom, Benjaminom i nad svim Izraelom.
10 Isbosech, the sone of Saul, was of fourti yeer, whanne he began to regne on Israel; and he regnede twei yeer. Sotheli the hous aloone of Juda suede Dauid.
Išbaalu, sinu Šaulovu, bijaše četrdeset godina kad je postao kraljem nad Izraelom, a kraljevao je dvije godine. Samo je Judin dom pristao uz Davida.
11 And the noumbre of daies, bi whiche Dauid dwellide regnynge in Ebron on the hows of Juda, was of seuene yeer and sixe monethis.
A David je kraljevao u Hebronu nad Judinim domom sedam godina i šest mjeseci.
12 And Abner, the sone of Ner, yede out, and the children of Isbosech, sone of Saul, fro the castels in Gabaon.
Potom iziđe Abner, Nerov sin, s ljudima Šaulova sina Išbaala iz Mahanajima prema Gibeonu.
13 Forsothe Joab, the sone of Saruye, and the children of Dauid yeden out, and camen to hem bisidis the cisterne in Gabaon. And whanne thei hadden come togidere in to o place euene ayens, these saten on o part of the cisterne, and thei on the tother.
Ali i Joab, Sarvijin sin, iziđe s Davidovim ljudima iz Hebrona i srete se s njima kod Gibeonskog jezera. Tu se zaustaviše, ovi s jedne strane jezera, a oni s druge strane.
14 And Abner seide to Joab, `The children rise, and plei befor us. And Joab answeride, Rise thei.
Tada Abner reče Joabu: “Neka ustanu mladići i neka se bore pred nama!” A Joab odgovori: “Neka ustanu!”
15 Therfor thei risiden, and passiden twelue in noumbre of Beniamyn, of the part of Isbosech, sone of Saul; and twelue of the children of Dauid.
I ustadoše, pa ih izbrojiše: dvanaest od Benjamina za Išbaala, Šaulova sina, i dvanaest od Davidovih ljudi.
16 And ech man, whanne `the heed of his felowe was takun, fastnede the swerde in to the side of `the contrarye; and thei felden doun togidere. And the name of that place was clepid The Feeld of stronge men in Gabaon.
I svaki dohvati svoga protivnika za glavu i zabode mu mač u bok, tako da su svi popadali zajedno. Zato se to mjesto prozvalo Polje bokova, a leži kod Gibeona.
17 And `batel hard ynow roos in that dai; and Abner and the sones of Israel `weren dryuun of the children of Dauid.
Potom se zametnu onoga dana vrlo žestoka bitka i Davidove čete razbiše Abnera i Izraelce.
18 Forsothe thre sones of Saruye weren there, Joab, and Abisai, and Asahel; forsothe Asahel was a `rennere moost swift, as oon of the capretis that dwellen in woodis.
A bijahu ondje tri Sarvijina sina: Joab, Abišaj i Asahel; a Asahel bijaše brz u trku kao gazela u polju.
19 Forsothe Asahel pursuede Abner, and bowide not, nether to the riyt side nether to the left side, ceessynge to pursue Abner.
I jurnu Asahel u potjeru za Abnerom; u stopu je slijedio Abnera ne skrećući ni desno ni lijevo.
20 Therfor Abner bihelde bihynde his bac, and seide, Whether thou art Asahel?
Abner se obazre i upita: “Jesi li to ti, Asahele?” A on odgovori: “Jesam.”
21 Which answeride, Y am. And Abner seide to hym, Go to the riytside, ether to the lefte side; and take oon of the yonge men, and take to thee hise spuylis. Sotheli Asahel nolde ceesse, that ne he pursuede hym.
A Abner mu reče: “Okreni se nadesno ili nalijevo pa zgrabi jednoga od tih mladića i uzmi njegovu odoru!” Ali Asahel nije htio da skrene od njega.
22 And eft Abner spak to Asahel, Go thou awei; nyle thou pursue me, lest Y be compellid to peerse thee in to erthe, and Y schal not mowe reise my face to Joab, thi brother.
Abner opet reče Asahelu: “Ukloni se od mene! Zašto da te sastavim sa zemljom? Kako bih onda još smio doći na oči tvome bratu Joabu?”
23 And Asahel dispiside to here, and nolde bowe awey. Therfor Abner smoot him `with the spere turned awei in the schar, and roof thorouy, and he was deed in the same place; and alle men that passiden bi the place, in which place Asahel felde doun, and was deed, stoden stille.
Ali on nikako nije htio da se ukloni. Zato ga Abner udari stražnjim krajem koplja u trbuh tako da mu je koplje izašlo kroz leđa van: on ondje pade i umrije na mjestu. I ustavljao se tko god je došao na ono mjesto gdje je pao i umro Asahel.
24 Forsothe while Joab and Abisai pursueden Abner fleynge, the sunne yede doun; and thei camen til to the litil hil of the water cundiyt, which is euene ayens the valey, and the weie of deseert in Gabaon.
Ali Joab i Abišaj nastaviše da gone Abnera, a kad je sunce zašlo, stigoše do brežuljka Ame, koji leži istočno od doline, na putu prema Gebi.
25 And the sones of Beniamyn weren gaderid to Abner, and thei weren gaderid togidere in to o cumpeny, and stoden in the hiynesse of oon heep of erthe.
Dotle se Benjaminovi sinovi skupiše za Abnerom, sastaviše četu i stadoše na vrh brežuljka Ame.
26 And Abner criede to Joab, and seide, Whether thi swerd schal be feers `til to sleyng? Whether thou knowist not, that dispeir is perelouse? Hou longe seist thou not to the puple, that it ceesse to pursue hise britheren?
Tada Abner viknu Joabu: “Zar će nas dovijeka proždirati mač? Ne znaš li da će to svršiti nesrećom? Kad ćeš napokon kazati svojim ljudima da se okane gonjenja svoje braće?”
27 And Joab seyde, The Lord lyueth, for if thou haddist spoke eerli, the puple pursuynge his brother hadde go awey.
A Joab odvrati: “Tako mi živog Jahve, da ti nisi progovorio, tek bi se sutra ujutro ovi ljudi okanili gonjenja svoje braće.”
28 And Joab sownede with a clarioun, and al the oost stood; and thei pursueden no ferthere Israel, nether bigunnen batel.
Nato Joab zatrubi u rog i sva vojska stade: prestadoše goniti Izraela i ne nastaviše boja.
29 Forsothe Abner and hise men yeden by the feeldi places of Moab in al that nyyt, and passiden Jordan; and whanne al Bethoron was compassid, thei camen to the castels.
Abner i njegovi ljudi išli su kroz Arabu cijelu onu noć; onda prijeđoše preko Jordana, nastaviše put cijelo jutro i stigoše napokon u Mahanajim.
30 Sotheli whanne Abner was left, Joab turnede ayen, and gaderide togidere al the puple; and ten men and nyne, outakun Asahel, failiden of the children of Dauid.
Kad je Joab odustao od potjere za Abnerom i skupio svu vojsku, vidješe da između Davidovih ljudi nema devetnaestorice, i uz to Asahela.
31 Forsothe the seruauntis of Dauid smytiden of Beniamyn, and of the men that weren with Abner, thre hundrid men and sixti, whiche also weren deed.
A Davidovi su ljudi od Benjaminovih sinova, Abnerovih vojnika, pobili tri stotine i šezdeset ljudi.
32 And thei token Asahel, and birieden hym in the sepulcre of his fadir in Bethleem. And Joab, and the men that weren with hym, yeden in al that nyyt, and in thilke morewtid thei camen in to Ebron.
Asahela ponesoše i pokopaše u grobu njegova oca u Betlehemu. A Joab i njegovi ljudi išli su svu noć i već se bijaše zadanilo kad stigoše u Hebron.
