2 Samuel 3
1 Torej tam je bila dolga vojna med Savlovo hišo in Davidovo hišo, toda David je postajal močnejši in močnejši, Savlova hiša pa je postajala šibkejša in šibkejša.
Then a long struggle occurred between the house of Saul and the house of David, with David prospering and growing ever stronger, but the house of Saul decreasing daily.
2 Davidu so se v Hebrónu rodili sinovi. Njegov prvorojenec je bil Amnón; od Jezreélke Ahinóam;
And sons were born to David in Hebron. And his firstborn son was Amnon, from Ahinoam the Jezreelite.
3 in njegov drugi Kiláb od Abigájile, žene Karmelčana Nabála in tretji Absalom, sin Maáhe, hčere gešurskega kralja Talmája;
And after him, there was Chileab, from Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel. Then the third was Absalom, the son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, the king of Geshur.
4 in četrti Adoníja, Hagítin sin; in peti Šefatjá, sin Abitále;
Then the fourth was Adonijah, the son of Haggith. And the fifth was Shephatiah, the son of Abital.
5 in šesti Jitreám od Davidove žene Egle. Ti so bili rojeni Davidu v Hebrónu.
Also, the sixth was Ithream, from Eglah, the wife of David. These were born to David at Hebron.
6 Pripetilo se je, medtem ko je bila vojna med Savlovo hišo in Davidovo hišo, da je Abnêr sebe naredil močnega za Savlovo hišo.
Then, while there was a battle between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner, the son of Ner, was reigning over the house of Saul.
7 Savel je imel priležnico, ki ji je bilo ime Ricpa, Ajájeva hči in Iš Bošet je rekel Abnêrju: »Zakaj si odšel k priležnici mojega očeta?«
Now Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. And Ishbosheth said to Abner,
8 Potem je bil Abnêr zelo ogorčen zaradi besed Iš Bošeta in je rekel: » Mar sem pasja glava, ko ta dan zoper Juda izkazujem prijaznost hiši tvojega očeta Savla, njegovim bratom in njegovim prijateljem in te nisem izročil v Davidovo roko, da me danes obsojaš s krivdo glede te ženske?
“Why did you enter to the concubine of my father?” But he, being exceedingly angry at the words of Ishbosheth, said: “Am I the head of a dog against Judah this day? I have shown mercy to the house of Saul, your father, and to his brothers and friends. And I have not delivered you into the hands of David. And yet today you have sought me, so that you might rebuke me over a woman?
9 Tako stori Bog Abnêrju in še več, razen če, kakor je Gospod prisegel Davidu, celo tako jaz storim njemu,
May God do these things to Abner, and may he add these other things, if, in the same way that the Lord swore to David, I do not do so with him:
10 da se kraljestvo prestavi od Savlove hiše in da postavi Davidov prestol čez Izraela in čez Juda, od Dana, celo do Beeršébe.«
that the kingdom be transferred from the house of Saul, and that the throne of David be elevated over Israel and over Judah, from Dan to Beersheba.”
11 In ni mogel Abnêrju ponovno odgovoriti besede, ker se ga je bal.
And he was not able to respond anything to him, because he was in fear of him.
12 Abnêr pa je v svojem imenu poslal poslance k Davidu, rekoč: »Čigava je ta dežela?« Rekoč tudi: »Skleni zavezo z menoj in glej, moja roka bo s teboj, da k tebi privedem ves Izrael.«
Therefore, Abner sent messengers to David for himself, saying, “Whose is the land?” and so that they would say, “Make a friendship with me, and my hand will be with you, and I will lead back all of Israel to you.”
13 Rekel je: »Dobro. Jaz bom sklenil zavezo s teboj, toda od tebe zahtevam eno stvar, to je: ›Ne boš videl mojega obraza, razen če mi najprej ne pripelješ Savlove hčere Mihále, ko prideš, da vidiš moj obraz.‹«
And he said: “It is best. I will make a friendship with you. But one thing I ask of you, saying: You shall not see my face before you bring Michal, the daughter of Saul. And in this way, you shall come, and see me.”
14 David je poslal poslance k Savlovemu sinu Iš Bošetu, rekoč: »Izroči mi mojo ženo Mihálo, ki sem si jo zaročil za sto prednjih kožic Filistejcev.«
Then David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, saying, “Restore my wife Michal, whom I espoused to myself for one hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”
15 Iš Bošet je poslal in jo vzel od njenega soproga, torej od Lajiševega sina Paltíela.
Therefore, Ishbosheth sent and took her from her husband Paltiel, the son of Laish.
16 Njen soprog je odšel skupaj z njo, jokajoč za njo, do Bahuríma. Potem mu je Abnêr rekel: »Pojdi, vrni se.« In se je vrnil.
And her husband was following her, weeping, as far as Bahurim. And Abner said to him, “Go and return.” And he returned.
17 Abnêr je imel pogovor z Izraelovimi starešinami, rekoč: »V preteklih časih ste iskali za Davidom, da bi bil kralj nad vami.
Likewise, Abner sent word to the elders of Israel, saying: “As much yesterday as the day before, you were seeking David, so that he might reign over you.
18 Sedaj torej to storite, kajti Gospod je govoril o Davidu, rekoč: ›Po roki svojega služabnika Davida bom rešil svoje ljudstvo Izraela iz roke Filistejcev in iz roke vseh njihovih sovražnikov.‹«
Therefore, accomplish it now. For the Lord has spoken to David, saying: ‘By the hand of my servant David, I will save my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and of all their enemies.’”
19 Abnêr je govoril tudi na ušesa Benjamina in Abnêr je odšel, da govori tudi na Davidova ušesa v Hebrónu. Vse to se je zdelo dobro Izraelu in to se je zdelo dobro celotni Benjaminovi hiši.
Then Abner also spoke to Benjamin. And he went away, so that he might speak to David in Hebron all that would be pleasing to Israel and to all of Benjamin.
20 Tako je Abnêr prišel k Davidu v Hebrón in z njim dvajset mož. David je naredil zabavo za Abnêrja in može, ki so bili z njim.
And he went to David in Hebron with twenty men. And David made a feast for Abner, and for his men who had arrived with him.
21 Abnêr je rekel Davidu: »Vstal bom in šel in ves Izrael bom zbral k svojemu gospodu kralju, da bodo lahko s teboj sklenili zavezo in da boš lahko kraljeval nad vsem, kar si tvoje srce želi.« David je poslal Abnêrja proč in ta je odšel v miru.
And Abner said to David, “I will rise up, so that I may gather all of Israel to you, my lord the king, and so that I may enter into a pact with you, and so that you may reign over all, just as your soul desires.” Then, when David had led Abner away, and he had departed in peace,
22 Glej, Davidovi služabniki in Joáb so prišli iz zasledovanja krdela in s seboj prinesli velik plen, toda Abnêr ni bil z Davidom v Hebrónu, kajti poslal ga je proč in ta je odšel v miru.
immediately the servants of David and of Joab arrived, after having slain robbers, with exceedingly great spoils. But Abner was not with David in Hebron. For by then he had sent him away, and he had set out in peace.
23 Ko so prišli Joáb in vsa vojska, ki je bila z njim, so Joábu povedali, rekoč: »Nerov sin Abnêr je prišel h kralju in ta ga je poslal proč in je odšel v miru.«
And Joab, and the entire army that was with him, had arrived afterward. And so, it was reported to Joab, explaining that Abner, the son of Ner, went to the king, and he dismissed him, and he went away in peace.
24 Potem je Joáb prišel h kralju in rekel: »Kaj si storil? Glej, Abnêr je prišel k tebi. Zakaj je to, da si ga poslal proč in je on popolnoma izginil?
And Joab entered to the king, and he said: “What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you. Why did you dismiss him, so that he has gone and departed?
25 Ti poznaš Nerovega sina Abnêrja, da je prišel, da te zavede in da spozna tvoja odhajanja in tvoja prihajanja in da spozna vse, kar delaš.«
Do you not know, about Abner, the son of Ner, that he came to you for this, so that he might deceive you, and might know of your departure and your return, and so that he might know all that you do?”
26 Ko je Joáb prišel od Davida, je za Abnêrjem poslal poslance, ki so ga ponovno privedli od vodnjaka Sire. Toda David tega ni vedel.
And so, Joab, going out from David, sent messengers after Abner, and he brought him back from the cistern of Sirah, without David knowing.
27 Ko se je Abnêr vrnil v Hebrón, ga je Joáb vzel na stran, v velika vrata, da bi tiho govoril z njim in ga tam udaril pod petim rebrom, da je umrl zaradi krvi njegovega brata Asaéla.
And when Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab took him alone to the middle of the gate, so that he might speak to him, but with deceit. And there, he stabbed him in the groin, and he died, in revenge for the blood of Asahel, his brother.
28 Potem ko je David to slišal, je rekel: »Jaz in moje kraljestvo sva brez krivde pred Gospodom na veke pred krvjo Nerovega sina Abnêrja.
And when David had heard of it, now that the matter was done, he said: “I and my kingdom are clean before the Lord, even forever, of the blood of Abner, the son of Ner.
29 Ta naj počiva na Joábovi glavi in na vsej hiši njegovega očeta in naj iz Joábove hiše ne zmanjka tistega, ki ima izliv ali je gobavec ali se naslanja na palico ali pada na meč ali mu primanjkuje kruha.«
And may it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon the entire house of his father. And may there not fail to be, in the house of Joab, one who suffers from a flow of seed, or one who is leprous, or one who is effeminate, or one who falls by the sword, or one who is in need of bread.”
30 Tako sta Joáb in njegov brat Abišáj umorila Abnêrja, ker je ubil njunega brata Asaéla v bitki pri Gibeónu.
And so, Joab and his brother Abishai killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon, during the battle.
31 David je rekel Joábu in vsemu ljudstvu, ki je bilo z njim: »Pretrgajte svoja oblačila in se opašite z vrečevino in žalujte pred Abnêrjem.« In sam kralj David je sledil mrtvaškemu odru.
Then David said to Joab, and to all the people who were with him, “Tear your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before the funeral procession of Abner.” Moreover, king David himself was following the casket.
32 Abnêrja so pokopali v Hebrónu. Kralj je povzdignil svoj glas in jokal nad Abnêrjevim grobom in vse ljudstvo je jokalo.
And when they had buried Abner in Hebron, king David lifted up his voice, and he wept over the burial mound of Abner. And all the people also wept.
33 Kralj je žaloval nad Abnêrjem in rekel: »Je Abnêr umrl, kakor umira bedak?
And the king, mourning and lamenting Abner, said: “By no means has Abner died the way that cowards usually die.
34 Tvoje roke niso bile zvezane niti tvoja stopala, vklenjena v okove. Kakor mož pada pred zlobneži, tako padaš ti.« In vse ljudstvo je ponovno jokalo nad njim.
Your hands are not bound, and your feet are not weighed down with fetters. But just as men often fall before the sons of iniquity, so you have fallen.” And while repeating this, all the people wept over him.
35 Ko je vse ljudstvo prišlo, da povzročijo Davidu, da jé hrano, medtem ko je bil še dan, je David prisegel, rekoč: »Tako naj mi Bog stori in še več, če okusim kruh ali karkoli drugega, dokler sonce ne zaide.«
And when the entire multitude had arrived to take food with David, while it was still broad daylight, David swore, saying, “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things, if I taste bread or anything else before the sun sets.”
36 Vse ljudstvo je to opazilo in to jim je ugajalo, kakor karkoli je kralj storil, je vsemu ljudstvu ugajalo.
And all the people heard it, and everything that the king did in the sight of the entire people was pleasing to them.
37 Kajti vse ljudstvo in ves Izrael je ta dan razumelo, da to ni bilo od kralja, da umori Nerovega sina Abnêrja.
And every common person, and all of Israel, realized on that day that the killing of Abner, the son of Ner, had not been done by the king.
38 Kralj je rekel svojim služabnikom: »Ali ne veste, da je ta dan tukaj v Izraelu padel princ in velik mož?
The king also said to his servants: “Could you be ignorant that a leader and a very great man has fallen today in Israel?
39 Jaz sem ta dan šibek, čeprav maziljen kralj in ti možje, Cerújini sinovi, so pretežki zame. Gospod bo hudodelca nagradil glede na njegovo zlobnost.«
But I am still tender, and yet anointed king. And these men of the sons of Zeruiah are too harsh for me. May the Lord repay whoever does evil in accord with his malice.”
