2 Samuelova 4

1 A kad èu sin Saulov da je poginuo Avenir u Hevronu, klonuše mu ruke, i sav se Izrailj smete.

And Isboseth the son of Saul heard that Abner was slain in Hebron: and his hands were weakened, and all Israel was troubled.

2 A imaše sin Saulov dvije vojvode nad èetama; jednom bješe ime Vana, a drugom bješe ime Rihav, sinovi Rimona Viroæanina, od sinova Venijaminovijeh; jer se i Virot brojaše Venijaminu;

Now the son of Saul had two men captains of his bands, the name of the one was Baana, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Remmon a Berothite of the children of Benjamin: for Beroth also was reckoned in Benjamin.

3 A Viroæani bijahu pobjegli u Gitajim, gdje ostaše kao došljaci do današnjega dana.

And the Berothites fled into Gethaim, and were sojourners there until that time.

4 I imaše Jonatan sin Saulov sina hroma na nogu, kojemu bijaše pet godina kad doðe glas o smrti Saulovoj i Jonatanovoj iz Jezraela, te ga uze dadilja njegova i pobježe, i kad brzo bježaše, on pade i ohronu; a ime mu bijaše Mefivostej.

And Jonathan the son of Saul bad a son that was lame of his feet: for he was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan from Jezrahel. And his nurse took him up and fled: and as she made haste to flee, he fell and became lame: and his name was Miphiboseth.

5 I poðoše sinovi Rimona Viroæanina, Rihav i Vana, i doðoše u podne u kuæu Isvostejevu; a on poèivaše u podne.

And the sons of Remmon the Berothite, Rechab and Baana coming, went into the house of Isboseth in the heat of the day: and he was sleeping upon his bed at noon. And the doorkeeper of the house, who was cleansing wheat, was fallen asleep.

6 I uðoše u kuæu kao da uzmu pšenice, i probodoše ga pod peto rebro Rihav i Vana, i pobjegoše.

And they entered into the house secretly taking ears of corn, and Rechab and Baana his brother stabbed him in the groin, and fled away.

7 Kad uðoše u kuæu, on ležaše na postelji svojoj u klijeti gdje spavaše, te ga probodoše i ubiše, i otsjekoše mu glavu i uzeše je, pa otidoše putem preko polja cijelu onu noæ.

For when they came into the house, be was sleeping upon his bed in a parlour, and they struck him and killed him: and taking away his head they went off by the way of the wilderness, walking all night.

8 I donesoše glavu Isvostejevu Davidu u Hevron, i rekoše caru: evo glave Isvosteja sina Saulova, neprijatelja tvojega, koji je tražio dušu tvoju; i Gospod osveti danas cara gospodara mojega od Saula i sjemena njegova.

And they brought the head of Isboseth to David to Hebron: and they said to the king: Behold the head of Isboseth the son of Saul thy enemy who sought thy life: and the Lord hath revenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.

9 Ali David odgovarajuæi Rihavu i Vani bratu njegovu, sinovima Rimona Viroæanina, reèe im: tako da je živ Gospod, koji je izbavio dušu moju iz svake nevolje.

But David answered Rechab, and Baana his brother, the sons of Remmon the Berothite, and said to them: As the Lord liveth, who hath delivered my soul out of all distress,

10 Kad onoga koji mi javi govoreæi: gle, pogibe Saul, i mišljaše da æe mi javiti dobre glase, uhvatih i ubih u Siklagu, i to mu bi od mene dar za glase njegove,

The man that told me, and said: Saul is dead, who thought he brought good tidings, I apprehended, and slew him in Siceleg, who should have been rewarded for his news.

11 Akamoli ljude bezbožne, koji ubiše èovjeka prava, u kuæi njegovoj, na postelji njegovoj! neæu li iskati krvi njegove iz vaših ruku, i vas istrijebiti sa zemlje?

How much more now when wicked men have slain an innocent man in his own house, upon his bed, shall I not require his blood at your hand, and take you away from the earth?

12 I zapovjedi David momcima svojim, te ih pogubiše, i otsjekoše im ruke i noge, i objesiše kod jezera Hevronskoga; a glavu Isvostejevu uzeše i pogreboše u grobu Avenirovu u Hevronu.

And David commanded his servants and they slew them: and cutting off their hands and feet, hanged them up over the pool in Hebron: but the head of Isboseth they took and buried in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
