< 2 Samuel 3 >
1 Therfor long strijf was maad bitwixe the hows of Dauid and `bitwixe the hows of Saul; and Dauid profitide and euere was strongere than hym silf, forsothe the hows of Saul decreesside ech dai.
Rat između Šaulove kuće i Davidove kuće potrajao je još dugo vremena, ali je David sve više jačao, a Šaulova kuća postajala sve slabija.
2 And sones weren borne to Dauid in Ebron; and his firste gendrid sone was Amon, of Achynoem of Jezrael;
Davidu se rodiše sinovi u Hebronu. Prvenac mu je bio Amnon, od Ahinoame Jizreelke;
3 and aftir hym was Celeab, of Abigail, wijf of Nabal of Carmele; sotheli the thrydde was Absolon, the sone of Maacha, douytir of Tholomay, kyng of Gessur;
drugi mu je bio Kileab, od Abigajile, žene Nabalove iz Karmela; treći Abšalom, sin Maake, kćeri gešurskoga kralja Tolmaja;
4 forsothe the fourthe was Adonyas, the sone of Agith; and the fyuethe was Saphacias, the sone of Abitail; and the sixte was Gethraam of Egla,
četvrti Adonija, sin Hagitin; peti Šefatja, sim Abitalin;
5 the wijf of Dauid. These weren borne to Dauid in Ebron.
šesti Jitream, od Egle, Davidove žene. Ti se Davidu rodiše u Hebronu.
6 Therfor whanne batel was bytwixe the hows of Saul and the hows of Dauid, Abner, the sone of Ner, gouernyde the hows of Saul.
Dok je trajao rat između Šaulove kuće i Davidove kuće, Abner je malo-pomalo prisvajao svu vlast u Šaulovoj kući.
7 Sotheli a concubyn, that is, a secoundarie wijf, Respha bi name, the douytir of Achia, `was to Saul; and Abner entride to hir.
A u kući bijaše Šaulova inoča po imenu Rispa, kći Ajina: nju Abner uze sebi. A Išbaal upita Abnera: “Zašto si se približio inoči moga oca?”
8 And Isbosech seide to Abner, Whi `entridist thou to the concubyn of my fadir? Which was wrooth greetli for the wordis of Isbosech, and seide, Whether Y am the heed of a dogge ayens Juda to dai, and Y have do merci on the hous of Saul, thi fadir, and on hise britheren, and neiyboris, and Y bitook not thee in to the hondis of David, and thou hast souyt in me that, that thou schuldist repreue me for a womman to dai?
Na te Išbaalove riječi Abner se razgnjevi i reče: “Zar sam ja pasja glava u Judi? Do danas sam samo dobro činio domu tvoga oca Šaula, njegovoj braći i njegovim prijateljima; nisam dopustio da padneš u Davidove ruke, a ti me danas prekoravaš zbog obične žene!
9 God do these thingis to Abner, and adde these thingis to hym, no but as the Lord swoor to Dauid, `so Y do with hym,
Neka Abneru Bog učini ovo zlo i neka mu doda drugo ako ne izvršim kako se Jahve zakleo Davidu:
10 that the rewme be translatid fro the hous of Saul, and the trone of Dauid be reisid on Israel and on Juda, fro Dan `til to Bersabee.
da će oduzeti kraljevstvo Šaulovoj kući i da će utvrditi Davidov prijesto nad Izraelom i nad Judom od Dana pa do Beer Šebe!”
11 And Isbosech myyte not answere ony thing to Abner, for he dredde Abner.
Išbaal se ne usudi odgovoriti ni riječi Abneru jer ga se bojaše.
12 Therfor Abner sente messangeris to Dauid, and thei seiden `for hym, Whos is the lond? and that the messangeris schulden speke, Make thou frenschipis with me, and myn hond schal be with thee, and Y schal brynge al Israel to thee.
Nato Abner posla glasnike k Davidu i poruči mu: “Čija je zemlja?” Htio je reći: “Učini savez sa mnom i moja će ti ruka pomoći da okupiš oko sebe svega Izraela.”
13 And Dauid seide, Best Y schal make frenschipis with thee, but Y axe of thee o thing, and seie, Thou schalt not se my face, bifore that thou brynge Mycol, the douyter of Saul, and so thou schalt come, and schalt se me.
David odgovori Abneru: “Dobro! Učinit ću savez s tobom! Ali samo jedno tražim od tebe: ne smiješ mi doći na oči ako ne dovedeš sa sobom Mikalu, Šaulovu kćer, kad dođeš da vidiš moje lice.”
14 Therfor Dauid sente messangeris to Isbosech, the sone of Saul, and seide, Yelde thou my wijf Mycol, whom Y spouside to me for an hundryd prepucies of Filisteis.
Ujedno posla David glasnike i k Išbaalu, Šaulovu sinu, s porukom: “Vrati mi moju ženu Mikalu, koju sam stekao stotinom filistejskih obrezaka.”
15 Therfor Isbosech sente, and took hir fro hir hosebonde, Faltiel, son of Lais;
Išbaal posla po nju i uze je od njezina muža Paltiela, Lajiševa sina.
16 and hir hosebonde suede hir and wepte til Bahurym. And Abner seide to hym, Go thou, and turne ayen; and he turnede ayen.
A njezin muž pođe s njom i pratio ju je plačući sve do Bahurima. Tada mu Abner reče: “Hajde, vrati se sada kući!” I on se vrati.
17 Also Abner brouyte in a word to the eldere men of Israel, and seide, Bothe yistirdai and the thridde dai ago ye souyten Dauid, that he schulde regne on you.
Abner je već bio razgovarao s Izraelovim starješinama i rekao im: “Već odavna želite Davida za svoga kralja.
18 Now therfor do ye; for the Lord spak to Dauid, and seide, In the hond of my seruaunt Dauid Y schal saue my puple Israel fro the hond of Filisteis, and of alle his enemyes.
Učinite to sada, jer je Jahve rekao o Davidu ovo: 'Rukom svoga sluge Davida izbavit ću svoj narod Izraela iz ruke filistejske i iz ruku svih njegovih neprijatelja.'”
19 Forsothe Abner spak also to Beniamyn, and he yede, that he schulde speke to Dauid, in Ebron, alle thingis that plesiden Israel and al Beniamin.
Tako je Abner govorio i Benjaminovim sinovima, a onda je otišao u Hebron da javi Davidu sve što se svidjelo Izraelu i domu Benjaminovu.
20 And he cam to Dauid in Ebron with twenti men. And Dauid made a feeste to Abner, and to the men that camen with hym.
Kad je Abner došao k Davidu u Hebron, i s njim dvadeset ljudi, David priredi gozbu Abneru i ljudima koji bijahu s njim.
21 And Abner seide to Dauid, Y schal rise, that Y gadere al Israel to thee, my lord the kyng, and that Y make boond of pees with thee, and that thou regne on alle, as thi soule desirith. Therfor whanne Dauid hadde ledde forth Abner, and he hadde go in pees,
Tada Abner reče Davidu: “Hajdemo! Ja ću skupiti svega Izraela oko gospodara moga kralja: oni će sklopiti s tobom savez i ti ćeš kraljevati nad svim što budeš želio.” David otpusti Abnera, koji ode u miru.
22 anoon the children of Dauid and Joab camen with a ful grete prey, whanne theues weren slayn; sotheli Abner was not with Dauid, in Ebron, for Dauid hadde left hym, and he yede forth in pees.
I gle, Davidovi se ljudi s Joabom upravo vraćali sa četovanja, noseći sa sobom bogat plijen, a Abner nije više bio kod Davida u Hebronu, jer ga David bijaše otpustio te je on otišao u miru.
23 And Joab, and the oostis that weren with hym, camen aftirward; therfor it was teld to Joab of telleris, Abner, the sone of Ner, cam to the kyng, and the kyng lefte hym, and he yede in pees.
Kad stiže Joab i sva vojska što je išla s njim, javiše Joabu da je Abner, Nerov sin, bio došao kralju i da ga je kralj otpustio da ode u miru.
24 And Joab entride to the kyng, and seide, What hast thou do? Lo! Abner cam to thee; whi leftist thou hym, and he yede, and departide?
Tada Joab dođe kralju i reče mu: “Što si učinio? Abner je došao k tebi, zašto si ga otpustio da ode u miru?
25 Knowist thou not Abner, the sone of Ner, for herto he cam to thee, that he schulde disseyue thee, and that he schulde knowe thi going out and thin entryng, and schulde knowe alle thingis whiche thou doist?
Zar ne znaš Abnera, Nerova sina? Došao je da te prevari, da dozna tvoje korake, da dozna sve što činiš!”
26 Therfor Joab yede out fro Dauid, and sente messangeris aftir Abner; and `ledde hym ayen fro the cisterne of Cyrie, `while Dauid knew not.
Potom izađe Joab od Davida i posla glasnike za Abnerom, koji ga vratiše, od studenca Sire, a David nije znao ništa o tome.
27 And whanne Abner hadde come ayen in to Ebron, Joab ledde hym asidis half to `the myddil of the yate, that he schulde speke to hym in gile; and he smoot Abner there in the schar, and he was deed, in to the veniaunce of the blood of his brother Asahel.
Kad se Abner vratio u Hebron, odvede ga Joab u stranu iza vrata, kao da želi s njim nesmetano govoriti, i ondje ga smrtno rani u slabine da se osveti za krv svoga brata Asahela.
28 That whanne Dauid hadde herd the thing doon, he seide, Y am clene and my rewme anentis God til in to with outen ende fro the blood of Abner, sone of Ner;
Kad je David to poslije čuo, reče: “Ja i moje kraljevstvo nevini smo pred Jahvom dovijeka za krv Abnera, sina Nerova.
29 and come it on the heed of Joab, and on al the hows of his fadir; a man suffrynge flux of seed, and a leprouse man, holdynge spyndil, and fallynge bi swerd, and hauynge nede to breed, `that is, suffrynge hungur, `faile not of the hows of Joab.
Neka padne na Joabovu glavu i na sav njegov očinski dom! Nikad ne ponestalo u Joabovu domu ljudi bolesnih od gnojenja ili od gube, ljudi koji se laćaju vretena ili padaju od mača, ljudi koji nemaju kruha!” -
30 Therfor Joab, and Abisay, his brother, killiden Abner, for he hadde slayn Asahel, her brother, in Gabaon, in batel.
Joab i njegov brat Abišaj ubili su Abnera jer je on pogubio njihova brata Asahela u boju kod Gibeona. -
31 Forsothe Dauid seide to Joab, and to al the puple that was with hym, To rende ye your clothis, and be ye gird with sackis, and biweile ye bifor the heersis, `ether dirige, of Abner. Forsothe kyng Dauid suede the beere.
Nato David reče Joabu i svoj vojsci koja je bila s njim: “Razderite svoje haljine, obucite kostrijet i naričite za Abnerom!” I kralj David pođe za nosilima.
32 And whanne thei hadden biried Abner in Ebron, kyng Dauid reiside his vois, and wepte on the biriel of Abner; `forsothe and al the puple wepte.
Kad su ukopali Abnera u Hebronu, udari kralj u glasan plač na grobu Abnerovu, a plakao je i sav narod.
33 And the kyng biweilide, and bymorenyde Abner, and seide, Abner, thou diedist not as dredeful men, `ethir cowardis, ben wont to die.
Tada kralj ispjeva ovu tužaljku za Abnerom: “Zar morade umrijeti Abner kako umire luda?
34 Thin hondis weren not boundun, and thi feet weren not greuyd with stockis, but thou feldist doun, as men ben wont to falle bifor the sones of wickidnesse. And al the puple doublide togidere, and wepte on hym.
Ruke tvoje ne bijahu vezane, noge tvoje ne bijahu okovane. Pao si kao što se pada od zlikovaca!” Tada sav narod još ljuće zaplaka za njim.
35 And whanne al the multitude cam to take mete with Dauid, while the dai was yit cleer, Dauid swoor, and seide, God do to me these thingis, and adde these thingis, if Y schal taast breed ethir ony othir thing bifor the going doun of the sune.
Nato pristupi sav narod nutkajući Davida da jede dok je još dana, ali se David zakle ovako: “Neka mi Bog učini ovo zlo i neka mi doda drugo zlo ako okusim kruha ili što drugo prije zalaska sunca!”
36 And al the puple herde; and alle thingis which the kyng dide in the siyt of al the puple plesiden hem;
Sav je narod to čuo, i bilo mu je po volji, kao što je narod i sve drugo odobravao što god je kralj činio.
37 and al the comyn puple and al Israel knewe in that day, that it was not doon of the kyng, that Abner, the sone of Ner, was slayn.
Toga dana sav narod i sav Izrael spozna da kralj nije kriv u umorstvu Abnera, sina Nerova.
38 Also the kyng seide to hise seruauntis, Whether ye witen not, that the prince and gretteste felde doun to dai in Israel?
Nato kralj reče svojim dvoranima: “Ne znate li da je danas pao knez i velik čovjek u Izraelu?
39 Forsothe Y am `delicat, ether tendir, yit and anoyntid kyng; sotheli these sones of Saruye ben hard to me; the Lord yelde to hym that doith yuel bi his malice.
Ali ja sam sada još slab, iako sam pomazani kralj, a ovi ljudi, Sarvijini sinovi, jači su od mene. Neka Jahve plati zločincu po njegovoj zloći!”
