2 Samuelova 3
1 I dugo bijaše rat izmeðu doma Saulova i doma Davidova; ali David sve veæma jaèaše a dom Saulov postajaše sve slabiji.
Now there was long war between Saul’s house and David’s house. David grew stronger and stronger, but Saul’s house grew weaker and weaker.
2 I Davidu se rodiše sinovi u Hevronu: prvenac mu bješe Amnon od Ahinoame Jezraeljanke;
Sons were born to David in Hebron. His firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;
3 Drugi bješe Hileav od Avigeje žene Navala Karmilca; treæi Avesalom sin Mahe kæeri Talmaja cara Gesurskoga;
and his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
4 Èetvrti Adonija sin Agitin; i peti Sefatija sin Avitalin;
and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;
5 I šesti Itram od Egle žene Davidove. Ti se rodiše Davidu u Hevronu.
and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah, David’s wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
6 I dok bijaše rat izmeðu doma Saulova i doma Davidova, Avenir branjaše dom Saulov.
While there was war between Saul’s house and David’s house, Abner made himself strong in Saul’s house.
7 A Saul imaše inoèu po imenu Resfu kæer Ajinu; i Isvostej reèe Aveniru: zašto si spavao kod inoèe oca mojega?
Now Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah; and Ishbosheth said to Abner, “Why have you gone in to my father’s concubine?”
8 I Avenir se razgnjevi na rijeèi Isvostejeve i reèe: jesam li ja pasja glava, koji sada èinim na Judi milost domu Saula oca tvojega i braæi njegovoj i prijateljima njegovijem, i nijesam te pustio u ruke Davidove, te danas tražiš na meni zlo radi te žene?
Then Abner was very angry about Ishbosheth’s words, and said, “Am I a dog’s head that belongs to Judah? Today I show kindness to your father Saul’s house, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David; and yet you charge me today with a fault concerning this woman!
9 Tako neka uèini Bog Aveniru, i tako neka doda, ako ne uèinim Davidu kako mu se Gospod zakleo,
God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as the LORD has sworn to David, I don’t do even so to him:
10 Da se prenese ovo carstvo od doma Saulova, i da se utvrdi prijesto Davidov nad Izrailjem i nad Judom, od Dana do Virsaveje.
to transfer the kingdom from Saul’s house, and to set up David’s throne over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba.”
11 I on ne može više ništa odgovoriti Aveniru, jer ga se bojaše.
He could not answer Abner another word, because he was afraid of him.
12 I Avenir posla poslanike k Davidu od sebe i poruèi: èija je zemlja? I poruèi mu: uèini vjeru sa mnom, i evo ruka æe moja biti s tobom, da obratim k tebi svega Izrailja.
Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, “Whose is the land?” and saying, “Make your alliance with me, and behold, my hand will be with you to bring all Israel around to you.”
13 A on odgovori: dobro; ja æu uèiniti vjeru s tobom; ali jedno ištem od tebe, i to: da ne vidiš lica mojega ako mi prvo ne dovedeš Mihalu kæer Saulovu, kad doðeš da vidiš lice moje.
David said, “Good. I will make a treaty with you, but one thing I require of you. That is, you will not see my face unless you first bring Michal, Saul’s daughter, when you come to see my face.”
14 I posla David poslanike k Isvosteju sinu Saulovu, i poruèi mu: daj mi ženu moju Mihalu, koju isprosih za sto okrajaka Filistejskih.
David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, saying, “Deliver me my wife Michal, whom I was given to marry for one hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”
15 I Isvostej posla te je uze od muža, od Faltila, sina Laisova.
Ishbosheth sent and took her from her husband, Paltiel the son of Laish.
16 A muž njezin poðe s njom, i jednako plakaše za njom do Vaurima. Tada mu reèe Avenir: idi, vrati se natrag. I on se vrati.
Her husband went with her, weeping as he went, and followed her to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, “Go! Return!” and he returned.
17 Potom Avenir govori starješinama Izrailjskim, i reèe im: preðe tražiste Davida da bude car nad vama.
Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, “In times past, you sought for David to be king over you.
18 Eto sada uèinite; jer je Gospod rekao za Davida govoreæi: preko Davida sluge svojega izbaviæu narod svoj Izrailja iz ruku Filistejskih i iz ruku svijeh neprijatelja njihovijeh.
Now then do it! For the LORD has spoken of David, saying, ‘By the hand of my servant David, I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.’”
19 Tako govori Avenir i sinovima Venijaminovijem. Potom otide Avenir i u Hevron da kaže Davidu sve što za dobro naðe Izrailj i sav dom Venijaminov.
Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin; and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel and to the whole house of Benjamin.
20 I kad doðe Avenir k Davidu u Hevron i s njim dvadeset ljudi, uèini David gozbu Aveniru i ljudima koji bijahu s njim.
So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. David made Abner and the men who were with him a feast.
21 I reèe Avenir Davidu: da ustanem i idem da skupim k caru gospodaru svojemu sav narod Izrailjev da uèine vjeru s tobom, pa da caruješ kako ti duša želi. I David otpusti Avenira da ide s mirom.
Abner said to David, “I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may reign over all that your soul desires.” David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.
22 A gle, sluge Davidove vraæahu se s Joavom iz boja, i tjerahu sa sobom velik plijen; a Avenir veæ ne bješe kod Davida u Hevronu, jer ga otpusti, te otide s mirom.
Behold, David’s servants and Joab came from a raid and brought in a great plunder with them; but Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.
23 Joav dakle i sva vojska što bješe s njim doðoše onamo; i javiše Joavu govoreæi: Avenir sin Nirov dolazio je k caru, i on ga otpusti te otide s mirom.
When Joab and all the army who was with him had come, they told Joab, “Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has sent him away, and he has gone in peace.”
24 I Joav otide k caru i reèe: šta uèini? Gle, Avenir je dolazio k tebi; zašto ga pusti te otide?
Then Joab came to the king and said, “What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you. Why is it that you have sent him away, and he is already gone?
25 Poznaješ li Avenira sina Nirova? dolazio je da te prevari, da vidi kuda hodiš i da dozna sve šta radiš.
You know Abner the son of Ner. He came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you do.”
26 Potom otišav Joav od Davida posla ljude za Avenirom da ga vrate od studenca Sire, a David ne znadijaše za to.
When Joab had come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David didn’t know it.
27 I kad se vrati Avenir u Hevron, odvede ga Joav na stranu pod vrata kao da govori s njim nasamo; ondje ga udari pod peto rebro, te umrije za krv Asaila brata njegova.
When Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the middle of the gate to speak with him quietly, and struck him there in the body, so that he died for the blood of Asahel his brother.
28 A kad David poslije to èu, reèe: ja nijesam kriv ni carstvo moje pred Gospodom dovijeka za krv Avenira sina Nirova.
Afterward, when David heard it, he said, “I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner.
29 Neka padne na glavu Joavovu i na sav dom oca njegova; i neka dom Joavov ne bude nikad bez èovjeka bolna od teèenja ili gubava ili koji ide o štapu ili koji padne od maèa ili koji nema hljeba.
Let it fall on the head of Joab and on all his father’s house. Let there not fail from the house of Joab one who has a discharge, or who is a leper, or who leans on a staff, or who falls by the sword, or who lacks bread.”
30 Tako Joav i Avisaj brat njegov ubiše Avenira što on pogubi Asaila brata njihova kod Gavaona u boju.
So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
31 I reèe David Joavu i svemu narodu koji bijaše s njim: razderite haljine svoje i pripašite kostrijet, i plaèite za Avenirom. I car David iðaše za nosilima.
David said to Joab and to all the people who were with him, “Tear your clothes, and clothe yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn in front of Abner.” King David followed the bier.
32 A kad pogreboše Avenira u Hevronu, car podiže glas svoj i plaka na grobu Avenirovu; plaka i sav narod.
They buried Abner in Hebron; and the king lifted up his voice and wept at Abner’s grave; and all the people wept.
33 I narièuæi za Avenirom reèe: umrije li Avenir kako umire bezumnik?
The king lamented for Abner, and said, “Should Abner die as a fool dies?
34 Ruke tvoje ne biše vezane, niti noge tvoje u okov okovane; pao si kao što se pada od nevaljalijeh ljudi. Tada još veæma plaka za njim sav narod.
Your hands weren’t bound, and your feet weren’t put into fetters. As a man falls before the children of iniquity, so you fell.” All the people wept again over him.
35 I doðe sav narod nudeæi Davida da jede što, dok još bijaše dan; ali se David zakle i reèe: Bog neka mi uèini tako, i tako neka doda, ako okusim hljeba ili što drugo dok ne zaðe sunce.
All the people came to urge David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, “God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread or anything else, until the sun goes down.”
36 I sav narod èu to, i bi im po volji; što god èinjaše car, bješe po volji svemu narodu.
All the people took notice of it, and it pleased them, as whatever the king did pleased all the people.
37 I pozna sav narod i sav Izrailj u onaj dan da nije bilo od cara što pogibe Avenir sin Nirov.
So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to kill Abner the son of Ner.
38 I car reèe slugama svojim: ne znate li da je vojvoda i to veliki poginuo danas u Izrailju?
The king said to his servants, “Don’t you know that a prince and a great man has fallen today in Israel?
39 Ali ja sam sada još slab, ako i jesam pomazani car; a ovi ljudi, sinovi Serujini, vrlo su mi silni. Neka Gospod plati onome koji èini zlo prema zloæi njegovoj.
I am weak today, though anointed king. These men, the sons of Zeruiah are too hard for me. May the LORD reward the evildoer according to his wickedness.”
