2 Samuel 2
1 Pripetilo se je po tem, da je David poizvedel od Gospoda, rekoč: »Ali naj grem gor v katerokoli izmed Judovih mest?« Gospod mu je rekel: »Pojdi gor.« David mu je rekel: »Kam naj grem gor?« Rekel je: »V Hebrón.«
And so, after these things, David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I ascend to one of the cities of Judah?” And the Lord said to him, “Ascend.” And David said, “To where shall I ascend?” And he responded to him, “To Hebron.”
2 Tako je David odšel tja gor in tudi dve njegovi ženi: Jezreélka Ahinóam in Abigájila, žena Karmélčana Nabála.
Therefore, David ascended with his two wives, Ahinoam, the Jezreelite, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
3 Njegove može, ki so bili z njim, je David privedel gor, vsakega moža s svojo družino in prebivali so v mestih Hebróna.
And as for the men who were with him, David led forth each man with his household. And they stayed in the towns of Hebron.
4 Možje iz Juda so prišli in tam mazilili Davida [za] kralja nad Judovo hišo. In povedali so Davidu, rekoč: » Da so bili možje iz Jabéš Gileáda tisti, ki so pokopali Savla.«
And the men of Judah went and anointed David there, so that he would reign over the house of Judah. And it was reported to David that the men of Jabesh Gilead had buried Saul.
5 David je poslal poslance k ljudem iz Jabéš Gileáda ter jim rekel: »Blagoslovljeni bodite od Gospoda, da ste izkazali to prijaznost našemu gospodu Savlu in ga pokopali.
Therefore, David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead, and he said to them: “Blessed are you to the Lord, who has accomplished this mercy with your lord Saul, so that you would bury him.
6 Sedaj naj vam Gospod izkaže prijaznost in resnico in tudi jaz vam bom poplačal to prijaznost, ker ste storili to stvar.
And now, certainly, the Lord will repay to you mercy and truth. But I also will act with favor, because you have accomplished this word.
7 Zato naj bodo sedaj vaše roke okrepljene in bodite hrabri, kajti vaš gospodar Savel je mrtev in tudi Judova hiša me je mazilila [za] kralja nad seboj.«
Let your hands be strengthened, and be sons of fortitude. For even though your lord Saul has died, still the house of Judah has anointed me as king over them.”
8 Toda Nerov sin Abnêr, poveljnik Savlove vojske, je vzel Savlovega sina Iš Bošeta, in ga privedel preko, v Mahanájim
Then Abner, the son of Ner, the leader of the army of Saul, took Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, and he led him around, throughout the camp.
9 in ga postavil [za] kralja nad Gileádom, nad Ašhúrci, nad Jezreélom, nad Efrájimom, nad Benjaminom in nad vsem Izraelom.
And he appointed him as king over Gilead, and over Geshuri, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all of Israel.
10 Savlov sin Iš Bošet je bil star štirideset let, ko je začel kraljevati nad Izraelom in kraljeval je dve leti. Toda Judova hiša je sledila Davidu.
Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, was forty years old when he had begun to rule over Israel. And he reigned for two years. For only the house of Judah followed David.
11 In časa, ko je bil David kralj v Hebrónu, nad Judovo hišo, je bilo sedem let in šest mesecev.
And the number of the days, during which David was staying and ruling in Hebron over the house of Judah, was seven years and six months.
12 In Nerov sin Abnêr in služabniki Savlovega sina Iš Bošeta so iz Mahanájima odšli v Gibeón.
And Abner, the son of Ner, and the youths of Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, went out from the camp to Gibeon.
13 In Cerújin sin Joáb in Davidovi služabniki so odšli ven in se srečali pri Gibeónskem ribniku in se usedli, eni na eni strani ribnika, drugi pa na drugi strani ribnika.
Therefore, Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and the youths of David, went out and met them beside the pool of Gibeon. And when they had convened together, they sat down opposite one another: these on one side of the pool, and those on the other side.
14 Abnêr je rekel Joábu: »Naj mladeniči sedaj vstanejo in igrajo pred nami.« Joáb je rekel: »Naj vstanejo.«
And Abner said to Joab, “Let the youths rise up and play before us.” And Joab answered, “Let them rise up.”
15 Potem so se tam vzdignili in odšli čez, po številu dvanajst iz Benjamina, ki je pripadal Iš Bošetovemu sinu Savlu in dvanajst izmed Davidovih služabnikov.
Therefore, they rose up and crossed over, twelve in number of Benjamin, from the side of Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, and twelve of the youths of David.
16 Vsak je zgrabil drugega za glavo in svoj meč porinil v njegovo stran. Tako so skupaj padli dol, zato je bil ta kraj imenovan Helkat-hazurim, ki je v Gibeónu.
And each one, taking hold of his peer by the head, fixed a sword into the side of his adversary, and they fell down together. And the name of that place was called: The Field of the Valiant in Gibeon.
17 Tam je bila ta dan zelo huda bitka in Abnêr je bil poražen in Izraelovi možje, pred Davidovimi služabniki.
And a very harsh war rose up on that day. And Abner, with the men of Israel, was put to flight by the youths of David.
18 Bili so trije Cerújini sinovi: Joáb, Abišáj in Asaél. Asaél je bil kakor svetloba stopala, kakor divja srna.
Now the three sons of Zeruiah were in that place: Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel. And Asahel was a very swift runner, like one of the deer that lives in the forest.
19 Asaél je zasledoval Abnêrja in ko je šel, se ni obrnil ne k desni roki niti ne k levi od zasledovanja Abnêrja.
And Asahel pursued Abner, and he did not turn aside to the right, nor to the left, to cease in the pursuit of Abner.
20 Potem je Abnêr pogledal za seboj in rekel: » Ali si ti Asaél?« Odgovoril je: »Jaz sem.«
And so, Abner looked behind his back, and he said, “Are you not Asahel?” And he responded, “I am.”
21 Abnêr mu je rekel: »Obrni se vstran k svoji desni roki ali k svoji levi in primi enega izmed mladeničev in si vzemi njegovo bojno opremo.« Toda Asaél se ni hotel obrniti od sledenja za njim.
And Abner said to him, “Go to the right, or to the left, and apprehend one of the youths, and take his spoils for yourself.” But Asahel was not willing to cease from pursuing him closely.
22 Abnêr je ponovno rekel Asaélu: »Obrni se stran od sledenja za menoj. Zakaj bi te udaril k tlom? Kako bi potem svoj obraz dvignil k tvojemu bratu Joábu?«
And again, Abner said to Asahel: “Withdraw, and do not choose to follow me. Otherwise, I will be compelled to stab you to the ground, and I will not be able to lift up my face before your brother, Joab.”
23 Vendar je ta odklonil, da se obrne vstran. Zato ga je Abnêr z zadnjim delom sulice udaril pod petim rebrom, da je sulica pogledala ven za njim; in tam je padel dol in umrl na istem kraju. Pripetilo se je, da kolikor jih je prišlo na kraj, kjer je Asaél padel dol in umrl, da so mirno stali.
But he disdained to heed him, and he was not willing to turn aside. Therefore, turning, Abner struck him with his spear in the groin, and he pierced him through, and he died in the same place. And all those who would pass by the place, in which Asahel had fallen and died, would stand still.
24 Tudi Joáb in Abišáj sta zasledovala Abnêrja. Sonce je zašlo, ko sta prišla k hribu Ame, ki leži pred Giahom, ob poti Gibeónske divjine.
Now while Joab and Abishai were pursuing Abner as he fled, the sun set. And they went as far as the Hill of the Aqueduct, which is opposite the valley on the way of the desert in Gibeon.
25 Benjaminovi otroci so se zbrali skupaj za Abnêrjem in postali eno krdelo in stali na vrhu hriba.
And the sons of Benjamin gathered themselves to Abner. And being joined in one battle line, they stood at the summit of a hill.
26 Potem je Abnêr zaklical Joábu in rekel: »Mar bo meč požiral na veke? Ali ne veš, da bo v zadnjem koncu to grenkoba? Doklej bo torej, preden boš svojemu ljudstvu naročil, naj se vrne od zasledovanja svojih bratov?«
And Abner cried out to Joab, and he said: “Will your sword rage unto utter destruction? Are you ignorant that it is perilous to act in desperation? How long will you not tell the people to cease from the pursuit of their brothers?”
27 Joáb je rekel: » Kakor živi Bog, če ne bi spregovoril, bi potem zjutraj ljudstvo zagotovo odšlo gor, vsakdo od sledenja svojemu bratu.«
And Joab said: “As the Lord lives, if you had spoken in the morning, the people would have withdrawn from pursuing their brothers.”
28 Tako je Joáb zatrobil na šofar in vse ljudstvo je mirno stalo in ni več zasledovalo Izraela niti se niso več bojevali.
Therefore, Joab sounded the trumpet, and the entire army stood still, and they did not pursue after Israel any more, and they did not engage in conflict.
29 Abnêr in njegovi možje so vso to noč hodili skozi ravnino in prečkali Jordan in šli skozi ves Bitrón in prišli do Mahanájima.
Then Abner and his men went away, all that night, through the plains. And they crossed the Jordan, and having roamed throughout all of Beth-horon, they arrived in the camp.
30 Joáb se je vrnil od zasledovanja Abnêrja in ko je vse ljudstvo zbral skupaj, je od Davidovih služabnikov manjkalo devetnajst mož in Asaél.
But Joab, returning after he had released Abner, gathered together all the people. And of David’s youths, they were missing nineteen men, aside from Asahel.
31 Toda Davidovi služabniki so udarili Benjaminove in Abnêrjeve može, tako da je umrlo tristo šestdeset mož.
But of Benjamin and of the men who were with Abner, the servants of David had struck three hundred and sixty, who also died.
32 Pobrali so Asaéla in ga pokopali v mavzoleju njegovega očeta, ki je bil v Betlehemu. Joáb in njegovi možje pa so vso noč hodili ter ob svitu prišli v Hebrón.
And they took Asahel, and they buried him in the sepulcher of his father at Bethlehem. And Joab, and the men who were with him, walked throughout the night, and they arrived in Hebron at the very break of day.
