2 Samuelova 2
1 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.
And it came to pass after this, that David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And Jehovah said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
2 I David otide onamo sa dvije žene svoje, Ahinoamom iz Jezraela i Avigejom koja prije bješe žena Navala iz Karmila.
So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
3 I ljude koji bijahu s njim odvede David, sve s porodicama njihovijem, i nastaniše se po gradovima Hevronskim.
And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
4 I doðoše ljudi od Jude, i pomazaše ondje Davida za cara nad domom Judinijem. I javiše Davidu govoreæi: ljudi iz Javisa Galadova pogreboše Saula.
And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, The men of Jabesh-gilead were they that buried Saul.
5 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.
And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of Jehovah, that ye have showed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.
6 Zato da uèini Gospod vama milost i vjeru; a ja æu vam uèiniti dobro, što ste to uèinili.
And now Jehovah show lovingkindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.
7 I neka vam se ukrijepe ruke i budite hrabri; jer Saul gospodar vaš pogibe, a dom Judin pomaza mene za cara nad sobom.
Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be ye valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
8 Ali Avenir sin Nirov vojvoda Saulov uze Isvosteja sina Saulova, i odvede ga u Mahanajim.
Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s host, had taken Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
9 I zacari ga nad Galadom i nad Asurom i Jezraelom i Jefremom i Venijaminom i nad svijem Izrailjem.
and he made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
10 Èetrdeset godina bješe Isvosteju sinu Saulovu kad poèe carovati nad Izrailjem; i carova dvije godine. Samo dom Judin držaše se Davida.
Ish-bosheth, 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.
11 A David carova u Hevronu nad domom Judinijem sedam godina i šest mjeseca.
And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
12 Potom izide Avenir sin Nirov i sluge Isvosteja sina Saulova iz Mahanajima u Gavaon.
And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
13 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.
And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, 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.
14 Tada reèe Avenir Joavu: neka ustanu momci i neka se proigraju pred nama. I reèe Joav: neka ustanu.
And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men, I pray thee, arise and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
15 I ustaše, i izidoše na broj: dvanaest od Venijamina sa strane Isvosteja sina Saulova, i dvanaest izmeðu sluga Davidovijeh.
Then they arose and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin, and for Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
16 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.
And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and [thrust] his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
17 I bi žestok boj onoga dana; i sluge Davidove razbiše Avenira i Izrailjce.
And the battle was very sore that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
18 A ondje bijahu tri sina Serujina: Joav i Avisaj i Asailo. A Asailo bijaše lak na nogu kao srna u polju;
And the three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.
19 I potjera Asailo Avenira, i ne svrnu ni nadesno ni nalijevo iza Avenira.
And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
20 I Avenir obazre se natrag i reèe: jesi li ti, Asailo? A on reèe: ja sam.
Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Is it thou, Asahel? And he answered, It is I.
21 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.
And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armor. But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.
22 I Avenir opet reèe Asailu: otstupi od mene; zašto da te sastavim sa zemljom? i kako bih smeo pogledati u Joava brata tvojega?
And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?
23 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.
Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
24 Ali Joav i Avisaj potjeraše Avenira, i sunce zaðe kad doðoše do brda Ame, koja je prema Giji na putu u pustinju Gavaonsku.
But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
25 I skupiše se sinovi Venijaminovi za Avenirom, te se naèini èeta, i stadoše na vrh jednoga brda.
And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one band, and stood on the top of a hill.
26 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?
Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?
27 A Joav reèe: tako živ bio Bog, da nijesi kazao, narod bi još jutros otišao, nijedan ne bi tjerao brata svojega.
And Joab said, As God liveth, if thou hadst not spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone away, nor followed every one his brother.
28 Tada zatrubi Joav u trubu, i ustavi se sav narod i prestaše tjerati Izrailja, i ne biše se više.
So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
29 I tako Avenir i ljudi njegovi idoše preko polja cijelu onu noæ, i prijeðoše preko Jordana, i prošavši sav Vitron doðoše u Mahanajim.
And 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.
30 A Joav se vrati od Avenira, i kad skupi sav narod, ne bješe od sluga Davidovijeh devetnaest ljudi i Asaila.
And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David’s servants nineteen men and Asahel.
31 Ali sluge Davidove pobiše sinova Venijaminovijeh, ljudi Avenirovijeh, tri stotine i šezdeset ljudi, koji izgiboše.
But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner’s men, [so that] three hundred and threescore men died.
32 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.
And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Beth-lehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and the day brake upon them at Hebron.
