< 2 Samuel 20 >
1 Zgodilo se je, da je bil tam Beliálov mož, katerega ime je bilo Ševá, Bihríjev sin, Benjaminovec. Ta je zatrobil na šofar in rekel: »Mi nimamo deleža v Davidu niti nimamo dediščine v Jesejevem sinu. Vsak mož k svojim šotorom, oh Izrael.«
And there happened to be a man of worthlessness there, and his name [is] Sheba, son of Bichri, a Benjamite, and he blows with a horn and says, “We have no portion in David, and we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse; each [goes] to his tents, O Israel.”
2 Tako je vsak mož iz Izraela odšel gor izza Davida in sledil Bihríjevem sinu Ševáju; toda Judovi možje, od Jordana, celo do Jeruzalema, so se trdno pridružili njihovemu kralju.
And every man of Israel goes up from after David, after Sheba son of Bichri, and the men of Judah have cleaved to their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.
3 David je prišel k svoji hiši v Jeruzalemu in kralj je vzel deset žensk, svojih priležnic, ki jih je pustil, da varujejo hišo in jih zaprl v ječo in jih hranil, toda ni šel noter k njim. Tako so bile zaprte do dneva svoje smrti, živeče v vdovstvu.
And David comes to his house at Jerusalem. And the king takes the ten women-concubines whom he had left to keep the house, and puts them in a house of ward and sustains them, and he has not gone in to them, and they are shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.
4 Potem je kralj rekel Amasáju: »V treh dneh mi zberi može iz Juda in ti bodi tu prisoten.«
And the king says to Amasa, “Call the men of Judah for me [within] three days, and you, stand here,”
5 Tako je Amasá odšel, da zbere Judove može, toda zadržal se je dlje kakor postavljen čas, ki mu je bil določen.
and Amasa goes to call Judah, and tarries beyond the appointed time that he had appointed him;
6 David je rekel Abišáju: »Sedaj nam bo Bihríjev sin Ševá storil več škode, kakor jo je storil Absalom. Vzemi služabnike svojega gospoda in ga zasleduj, da si ne pridobi utrjenih mest in nam pobegne.«
and David says to Abishai, “Now Sheba son of Bichri does evil to us more than Absalom; you, take the servants of your lord, and pursue after him, lest he has found fortified cities for himself, and delivered himself [from] our eye.”
7 Tam so odšli ven za njim Joábovi možje, Keretéjci, Péletovci in vsi mogočni možje. Odšli so iz Jeruzalema, da zasledujejo Bihríjevega sina Ševája.
And the men of Joab go out after him, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and all the mighty men, and they go out from Jerusalem to pursue after Sheba son of Bichri;
8 Ko so bili pri velikem kamnu, ki je v Gibeónu, je Amasá šel pred njimi. Joábova obleka, ki jo je oblekel, je bila opasana k njemu in na njej pas s pritrjenim mečem na svojih ledjih, v svoji nožnici in ko je šel naprej, je ta padel ven.
they [are] near the great stone that [is] in Gibeon, and Amasa has gone before them, and Joab [is] girded; he has put his long robe on him, and on it a girdle—a sword [is] fastened on his loins in its sheath; and he has gone out, and it falls.
9 Joáb je rekel Amasáju: » Ali si pri zdravju, moj brat?« Joáb je z desnico prijel Amasája za brado, da ga poljubi.
And Joab says to Amasa, “Are you [in] peace, my brother?” And the right hand of Joab lays hold on the beard of Amasa to give a kiss to him;
10 Toda Amasá ni pazil na meč, ki je bil v Joábovi roki. Tako ga je z njim udaril v peto rebro in njegovo notranjost prelil na tla in ni ga ponovno udaril in je umrl. Tako sta Joáb in njegov brat Abišáj zasledovala Bihríjevega sina Ševája.
and Amasa has not been watchful of the sword that [is] in the hand of Joab, and he strikes him with it to the fifth [rib], and sheds out his bowels to the earth, and he has not repeated [it] to him, and he dies; and Joab and his brother Abishai have pursued after Sheba son of Bichri.
11 Eden izmed Joábovih mož je stal poleg njega ter rekel: »Kdor je naklonjen Joábu in kdor je za Davida, ta naj gre za Joábom.«
And a man has stood by him, of the young men of Joab, and says, “He who has delight in Joab, and he who [is] for David—after Joab!”
12 Amasá se je valjal v krvi na sredi glavne ceste. In ko je mož videl, da je vse ljudstvo obstalo, je Amasája odstranil z glavne ceste na polje in nanj vrgel oblačilo, ko je videl, da je vsak, kdor je prišel mimo, mirno obstal.
And Amasa is rolling himself in blood, in the midst of the highway, and the man sees that all the people have stood still, and he brings around Amasa out of the highway to the field, and casts a garment over him when he has seen that everyone who has come by him has stood still.
13 Ko je bil odstranjen z glavne ceste, je vse ljudstvo odšlo naprej za Joábom, da zasledujejo Bihríjevega sina Ševája.
When he has been removed out of the highway, every man has passed on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba son of Bichri.
14 Ta je šel skozi vse Izraelove rodove do Abéle in do Bet Maáhe in do vseh Bihríjevcev in zbrani so bili skupaj ter šli tudi za njim.
And he passes over through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Beth-Maachah, and to all the Berites, and they are assembled, and also go in after him,
15 Prišli so in ga oblegali v Abél Bet Maáhi in nasuli so nasip zoper mesto in le-ta je stal v jarku. In vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo z Joábom, je uničevalo obzidje, da ga zrušijo.
and they go in and lay siege against him, in Abel of Beth-Maachah, and cast up a mound against the city, and it stands in a trench, and all the people who are [are] with Joab are destroying, to cause the wall to fall.
16 Potem je modra ženska iz mesta zaklicala: »Poslušajte, poslušajte. Recite, prosim vas, Joábu: ›Pridi blizu sèm, da lahko govorim s teboj.‹«
And a wise woman calls out of the city, “Hear! Hear! Please say to Joab, Come near here, and I speak to you.”
17 Ko je ta prišel bliže k njej, je ženska rekla: » Ali si ti Joáb?« Odgovoril je: »Jaz sem.« Potem mu je rekla: »Poslušaj besede svoje pomočnice.« Odgovoril je: »Poslušam.«
And he comes near to her, and the woman says, “Are you Joab?” And he says, “I [am].” And she says to him, “Hear the words of your handmaid”; and he says, “I am hearing.”
18 Potem je spregovorila, rekoč: »V starih časih so bili navajeni govoriti, rekoč: ›Zagotovo bodo vprašali za nasvet v Abélu, ‹ in tako so končali zadevo.
And she speaks, saying, “They spoke often in former times, saying, Let them diligently inquire at Abel, and so they finished.
19 Jaz sem ena izmed tistih, ki so v Izraelu mirni in zvesti, ti pa si prizadevaš, da uničiš mesto in mater v Izraelu. Zakaj hočeš pogoltniti Gospodovo dediščino?«
I [am] of the peaceable, faithful ones of Israel; you are seeking to destroy a city and mother in Israel; why do you swallow up the inheritance of YHWH?”
20 Joáb je odgovoril in rekel: »Daleč bodi to, daleč bodi to od mene, da bi pogoltnil ali uničil.
And Joab answers and says, “Far be it—far be it from me; I do not swallow up nor destroy.
21 Zadeva ni takšna, temveč človek z gore Efrájim, po imenu Bihríjev sin Ševá, je vzdignil svojo roko zoper kralja, celó zoper Davida. Samo njega izročite in odšel bom od mesta.« Ženska je rekla Joábu: »Glej, njegova glava ti bo vržena čez obzidje.«
The matter [is] not so; for a man of the hill-country of Ephraim—Sheba son of Bichri [is] his name—has lifted up his hand against the king, against David; give him up by himself, and I go away from the city.” And the woman says to Joab, “Behold, his head is cast to you over the wall.”
22 Potem je ženska, v svoji modrosti, odšla k vsemu ljudstvu. Odsekali so glavo Bihríjevega sina Ševája in jo vrgli ven k Joábu. Ta je zatrobil na šofar in umaknili so se od mesta, vsak mož k svojemu šotoru. In Joáb se je vrnil h kralju v Jeruzalem.
And the woman comes to all the people in her wisdom, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri, and cast [it] to Joab, and he blows with a horn, and they are scattered from the city, each [goes] to his tents, and Joab has turned back to Jerusalem to the king.
23 Torej Joáb je bil nad vso Izraelovo vojsko. Jojadájev sin Benajá je bil nad Keretéjci in nad Péletovci;
And Joab [is] over all the host of Israel, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is] over the Cherethite, and over the Pelethite,
24 Adorám je bil nad davkom; Ahilúdov sin Józafat je bil letopisec;
and Adoram [is] over the tribute, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] the remembrancer,
25 Ševá je bil pisar; Cadók in Abjatár sta bila duhovnika;
and Sheva [is] scribe, and Zadok and Abiathar [are] priests,
26 in tudi Jaírovec Irá je bil glavni častnik pri Davidu.
and also, Ira the Jairite has been minister to David.
