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.

And the war is long between the house of Saul and the house of David, and David is going on and [is] strong, and the house of Saul are going on and [are] weak.

2 I Davidu se rodiše sinovi u Hevronu: prvenac mu bješe Amnon od Ahinoame Jezraeljanke;

And there are born to David sons in Hebron, and his first-born is 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 [is] Chileab, of Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelite, and the third [is] Absalom son of Maacah daughter of Talmai king of Geshur,

4 Èetvrti Adonija sin Agitin; i peti Sefatija sin Avitalin;

and the fourth [is] Adonijah son of Haggith, and the fifth [is] Shephatiah son of Abital,

5 I šesti Itram od Egle žene Davidove. Ti se rodiše Davidu u Hevronu.

and the sixth [is] Ithream, of Eglah wife of David; these have been born to David in Hebron.

6 I dok bijaše rat izmeðu doma Saulova i doma Davidova, Avenir branjaše dom Saulov.

And it cometh to pass, in the war being between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner hath been strengthening himself in the house of Saul,

7 A Saul imaše inoèu po imenu Resfu kæer Ajinu; i Isvostej reèe Aveniru: zašto si spavao kod inoèe oca mojega?

and Saul hath a concubine, and her name [is] Rizpah daughter of Aiah, and [Ish-Bosheth] saith unto Abner, 'Wherefore hast thou gone in unto the concubine of my father?'

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?

And it is displeasing to Abner exceedingly, because of the words of Ish-Bosheth, and he saith, 'The head of a dog [am] I — that in reference to Judah to-day I do kindness with the house of Saul thy father, unto his brethren, and unto his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David — that thou chargest against me iniquity concerning the woman to-day?

9 Tako neka uèini Bog Aveniru, i tako neka doda, ako ne uèinim Davidu kako mu se Gospod zakleo,

thus doth God to Abner, and thus He doth add to him, surely as Jehovah hath sworn to David — surely so I do 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 cause the kingdom to pass over from the house of Saul, and to raise up the throne of David over Israel, and over Judah, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba.'

11 I on ne može više ništa odgovoriti Aveniru, jer ga se bojaše.

And he is not able any more to turn back Abner a word, because of his fearing 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.

And Abner sendeth messengers unto David for himself, saying, 'Whose [is] the land?' saying, 'Make thy covenant with me, and lo, my hand [is] with thee, to bring round unto thee all Israel.'

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.

And he saith, 'Good — I make with thee a covenant; only, one thing I am asking of thee, that is, Thou dost not see my face, except thou dost first bring in Michal, daughter of Saul in thy coming into 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.

And David sendeth messengers unto Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, saying, 'Give up my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself with a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.'

15 I Isvostej posla te je uze od muža, od Faltila, sina Laisova.

And Ish-Bosheth sendeth, and taketh her from a man, from Phaltiel 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.

and her husband goeth with her, going on and weeping behind her, unto Bahurim, and Abner saith unto him, 'Go, turn back;' and he turneth back.

17 Potom Avenir govori starješinama Izrailjskim, i reèe im: preðe tražiste Davida da bude car nad vama.

And the word of Abner was with the elders of Israel, saying, 'Heretofore ye have been seeking David for 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.

and now, do [it], for Jehovah hath spoken of David saying, By the hand of David my servant — to 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.

And Abner speaketh also in the ears of Benjamin, and Abner goeth also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that [is] good in the eyes of Israel, and in the eyes of all the 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.

and Abner cometh in unto David, to Hebron, and with him twenty men, and David maketh for Abner, and for the men who [are] with him, a banquet.

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.

And Abner saith unto David, 'I arise, and go, and gather unto my lord the king the whole of Israel, and they make with thee a covenant, and thou hast reigned over all that thy soul desireth;' and David sendeth away Abner, and he goeth 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.

And lo, the servants of David, and Joab, have come from the troop, and much spoil have brought with them, and Abner is not with David in Hebron, for he hath sent him away, and he goeth 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.

and Joab and all the host that [is] with him have come, and they declare to Joab, saying, 'Abner son of Ner hath come unto the king, and he sendeth him away, and he goeth in peace.'

24 I Joav otide k caru i reèe: šta uèini? Gle, Avenir je dolazio k tebi; zašto ga pusti te otide?

And Joab cometh unto the king, and saith, 'What hast thou done? lo, Abner hath come unto thee! why [is] this — thou hast sent him away, and he is really gone?

25 Poznaješ li Avenira sina Nirova? dolazio je da te prevari, da vidi kuda hodiš i da dozna sve šta radiš.

Thou hast known Abner son of Ner, that to deceive thee he came, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou art doing.'

26 Potom otišav Joav od Davida posla ljude za Avenirom da ga vrate od studenca Sire, a David ne znadijaše za to.

And Joab goeth out from David, and sendeth messengers after Abner, and they bring him back from the well of Sirah, and David knew not.

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.

And Abner turneth back to Hebron, and Joab turneth him aside unto the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and smiteth him there in the fifth [rib] — and he dieth — 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.

And David heareth afterwards and saith, 'Acquitted [am] I, and my kingdom, by Jehovah, unto the age, from the blood of Abner 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.

it doth stay on the head of Joab, and on all the house of his father, and there is not cut off from the house of Joab one having an issue, and leprous, and laying hold on a staff, and falling by a sword, and lacking bread.'

30 Tako Joav i Avisaj brat njegov ubiše Avenira što on pogubi Asaila brata njihova kod Gavaona u boju.

And Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner because that he put to death Asahel their brother, in Gibeon, in 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.

And David saith unto Joab, and unto all the people who [are] with him, 'Rend your garments, and gird on sackcloth, and mourn before Abner;' and king David is going after the bier.

32 A kad pogreboše Avenira u Hevronu, car podiže glas svoj i plaka na grobu Avenirovu; plaka i sav narod.

And they bury Abner in Hebron, and the king lifteth up his voice, and weepeth at the grave of Abner, and all the people weep;

33 I narièuæi za Avenirom reèe: umrije li Avenir kako umire bezumnik?

and the king lamenteth for Abner, and saith: — 'As the death of a fool doth Abner die?

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.

Thy hands not bound, And thy feet to fetters not brought nigh! As one falling before sons of evil — Thou hast fallen!' and all the people add to weep 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.

And all the people come to cause David to eat bread while yet day, and David sweareth, saying, 'Thus doth God to me, and thus He doth add, for — before the going in of the sun, I taste no bread or any other thing.'

36 I sav narod èu to, i bi im po volji; što god èinjaše car, bješe po volji svemu narodu.

And all the people have discerned [it], and it is good in their eyes, as all that the king hath done is good in the eyes of all the people;

37 I pozna sav narod i sav Izrailj u onaj dan da nije bilo od cara što pogibe Avenir sin Nirov.

and all the people know, even all Israel, in that day, that it hath not been from the king — to put to death Abner son of Ner.

38 I car reèe slugama svojim: ne znate li da je vojvoda i to veliki poginuo danas u Izrailju?

And the king saith unto his servants, 'Do ye not know that a prince and a great one hath fallen this day 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.

and I to-day [am] tender, and an anointed king: and these men, sons of Zeruiah, [are] too hard for me; Jehovah doth recompense to the doer of the evil according to his evil.'
