2 Samuelova 20

1 A ondje se desi nevaljao èovjek, po imenu Seva sin Vihrijev, od Venijamina. On zatrubi u trubu i reèe: mi nemamo dijela s Davidom, ni našljedstva sa sinom Jesejevijem; svak u svoj šator, o Izrailju!

AND there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.

2 Tako svi Izrailjci otstupiše od Davida i otidoše za Sevom sinom Vihrijevim; ljudi pak od Jude držaše se cara svojega i otpratiše ga od Jordana do Jerusalima.

So every man of Israel went up from after David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.

3 A kad car David doðe u kuæu svoju u Jerusalim, uze car deset žena inoèa, koje bješe ostavio da mu èuvaju kuæu, i metnu ih u zatvor, gdje ih hranjaše ali ne lijegaše s njima, nego ostaše zatvorene do smrti svoje i življahu kao udovice.

And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood.

4 Potom reèe car Amasi: sazovi mi ljude od Jude do tri dana, i naði se i ti ovdje.

Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.

5 I otide Amasa da sazove narod Judin; ali se zabavi preko roka koji mu bješe odreðen.

So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.

6 A David reèe Avisaju: sad æe nam Seva sin Vihrijev èiniti gore nego Avesalom. Nego uzmi sluge gospodara svojega, i goni ga da ne naðe za se koji tvrd grad i ne umakne nam iz oèiju.

And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou thy lord’s servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced cities, and escape us.

7 Tako izidoše za njim ljudi Joavovi, i Hereteji i Feleteji i svi junaci, izidoše iz Jerusalima da gone Sevu sina Vihrijeva.

And there went out after him Joab’s men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.

8 I kad bijahu kod velikoga kamena u Gavaonu, srete ih Amasa. A Joav bijaše opasan preko haljine koju imaše na sebi, i ozgo bijaše pripasao maè uz bedricu u koricama. I kad poðe, maè mu ispade.

When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab’s garment that he had put on was girded unto him, and upon it a girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.

9 Tada reèe Joav Amasi: jesi li zdravo, brate? I dohvati se Joav desnom rukom svojom brade Amasi da ga cjeluje.

And Joab said to Amasa, Art thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.

10 A Amasa ne uzimaše na um maèa, koji bijaše Joavu u ruci; a on ga udari njim pod peto rebro, i prosu mu crijeva na zemlju, te od jednoga udarca umrije. Potom Joav i Avisaj brat njegov otidoše u potjeru za Sevom sinom Vihrijevim.

But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand: so he smote him therewith in the fifth rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.

11 A jedan od momaka Joavovijeh stade kod njega i reèe: ko ljubi Joava i ko je Davidov, za Joavom!

And one of Joab’s men stood by him, and said, He that favoureth Joab, and he that is for David, let him go after Joab.

12 A Amasa se valjaše u svojoj krvi nasred puta. I videæi onaj èovjek gdje se ustavlja sav narod odvuèe Amasu s puta u polje i baci haljinu na nj, kad vidje gdje se ustavlja svaki ko naiðe na nj.

And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.

13 I kad bi uklonjen s puta proðoše svi za Joavom da tjeraju Sevu sina Vihrijeva.

When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.

14 I on proðe kroz sva plemena Izrailjeva do Avela i do Vetmahe sa svijem Viranima, koji se okupiše te iðahu za njim.

And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto Abel, and to Beth-maachah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and went also after him.

15 I došavši opkoliše ga u Avel-Vet-Masi, i iskopaše opkop oko grada tako da stajahu pred zidom; i sav narod što bješe s Joavom navaljivaše da obori zid.

And they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth-maachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.

16 Tada viknu jedna mudra žena iz grada: èujte, èujte! Kažite Joavu: pristupi ovamo da govorim s tobom.

Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.

17 A kad on pristupi k njoj, reèe žena: jesi li ti Joav? A on reèe: jesam. A ona reèe: poslušaj rijeèi sluškinje svoje. A on reèe: da èujem.

And when he was come near unto her, the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he answered, I am he. Then she said unto him, Hear the words of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.

18 A ona reèe govoreæi: od starine se govori: valja pitati u Avelu. I tako se izvršivaše.

Then she spake, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel: and so they ended the matter.

19 Ja sam jedan od mirnijeh i vjernijeh gradova u Izrailju, a ti hoæeš da zatreš grad, i to majku u Izrailju. Zašto hoæeš da proždreš našljedstvo Gospodnje?

I am one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the Lord?

20 A Joav odgovori i reèe: saèuvaj Bože! saèuvaj Bože! neæu da proždrem ni da raskopam.

And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.

21 Nije tako; nego jedan iz gore Jefremove, po imenu Seva sin Vihrijev, podigao je ruku svoju na cara Davida; dajte samo njega, pa æu otiæi od grada. A žena reèe Joavu: evo, glava njegova baciæe ti se preko zida.

The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.

22 I žena otide k svemu narodu s mudrošæu svojom; i otsjekoše glavu Sevi sinu Vihrijevu, i baciše je Joavu. A on zatrubi u trubu, te se razidoše od grada svak u svoj šator. A Joav se vrati u Jerusalim k caru.

Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.

23 A bijaše Joav nad svom vojskom Izrailjevom; a Venaja sin Jodajev bijaše nad Heretejima i Feletejima;

Now Joab was over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites:

24 A Adoram bješe nad dancima; a Josafat sin Ahiludov bješe pametar;

And Adoram was over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:

25 Seja pisar; a Sadok i Avijatar sveštenici.

And Sheva was scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:

26 I Ira Jairanin bješe knez Davidu.

And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David.
