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.
It happened after this, that David inquired 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."
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 there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelite 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 the men who were with him, everyone with his household. And they lived in 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.
Then the men of Judah came, and they anointed David king over the house of Judah. When David was told that the men of Jabesh Gilead 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.
then he sent messengers to the lords of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, "May you be blessed by the LORD, since you showed loyalty towards your lord, Saul, and have buried him.
6 Zato da uèini Gospod vama milost i vjeru; a ja æu vam uèiniti dobro, što ste to uèinili.
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.
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 valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah has 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, commander of Saul's army, had taken Ishbaal 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 Geshurites, 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.
Ishbaal, 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 ruled 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.
Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbaal 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.
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.
Abner said to Joab, "Let the young men now arise and compete before us." 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 of the sons of Benjamin of Ishbaal 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.
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 was called Field of Blades, which is in Gibeon.
17 I bi žestok boj onoga dana; i sluge Davidove razbiše Avenira i Izrailjce.
The battle was very severe that day, and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated 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;
The three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel. And Asahel was as quick on his feet as a wild gazelle.
19 I potjera Asailo Avenira, i ne svrnu ni nadesno ni nalijevo iza Avenira.
Asahel pursued after Abner, and as he went he did not turn 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 you, Asahel?" 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.
Abner said to him, "Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and grab one of the young men, and take his armor." But Asahel would not stop from pursuing 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?
Abner said again to Asahel, "Stop pursuing me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then should I hold up my face to Joab your 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.
But he refused to stop. 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. And it came about that all who came to the place where Asahel had fallen and died, stopped there.
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 had come to the hill of Ammah, that lies 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.
The sons of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and formed a single group, 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 forever? Do you not know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? How long shall it be then, before you ask the people to stop pursuing their brothers?"
27 A Joav reèe: tako živ bio Bog, da nijesi kazao, narod bi još jutros otišao, nijedan ne bi tjerao brata svojega.
Joab said, "As the LORD lives, if you had not spoken, surely the people would not have given up the pursuit of their brothers until the morning."
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 stopped, and no longer chased after Israel, and they no longer fought.
29 I tako Avenir i ljudi njegovi idoše preko polja cijelu onu noæ, i prijeðoše preko Jordana, i prošavši sav Vitron doðoše u Mahanajim.
Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over the Jordan, and marched the whole morning, 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.
Joab returned from pursuing Abner. And when he had gathered all the people together, there were missing from 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 struck of the people of Benjamin, from the men of Abner, three hundred and sixty men who 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.
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.
