Kings II 4
1 And Jebosthe the son of Saul heard that Abenner the son of Ner had died in Chebron; and his hands were paralyzed, and all the men of Israel grew faint.
Kad je Šaulov sin Išbaal čuo da je poginuo Abner u Hebronu, klonuše mu ruke i sav se Izrael zaprepasti.
2 And Jebosthe the son of Saul had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one [was] Baana, and the name of the other Rechab, sons of Remmon the Berothite of the children of Benjamin; for Beroth was reckoned to the children of Benjamin.
A Šaulov sin Išbaal imaše dvojicu vođa svojih četa; jedan se zvao Baana, a drugi Rekab; bili su sinovi Rimona Beeroćanina iz Benjaminova plemena, jer se Beerot pribraja k Benjaminu.
3 And the Berothites ran away to Gethaim, and were sojourners there until this day.
A Beeroćani bijahu pobjegli u Gitajim, gdje su ostali kao došljaci do današnjeg dana.
4 And Jonathan Saul's son [had] a son lame of his feet, five years old, and he was [in the way] when the news of Saul and Jonathan his son came from Jezrael, and his nurse took him up, and fled; and it came to pass as he hasted and retreated, that he fell, and was lamed. And his name [was] Memphibosthe.
Šaulov sin Jonatan imao je sina hroma na obje noge. Njemu je bilo pet godina kad je iz Jizreela došao glas o Šaulovoj i Jonatanovoj pogibiji. Njegova ga dadilja uze i pobježe, ali u brzini bijega dijete pade i osta hromo. Ime mu bijaše Meribaal.
5 And Rechab and Baana the sons of Remmon the Berothite went, and they came in the heat of the day into the house of Jebosthe; and he was sleeping on a bed at noon.
Sinovi Rimona Beeroćanina, Rekab i Baana, digoše se i dođoše za najveće dnevne vrućine Išbaalu do kuće, a on upravo spavaše podnevni počinak.
6 And, behold, the porter of the house winnowed wheat, and he slumbered and slept: and the brothers Rechab and Baana went privily into the house:
A vratarica, čisteći pšenicu, bijaše zadrijemala te je spavala. Rekab i njegov brat Baana prošuljaše se kraj nje.
7 And Jebosthe was sleeping on his bed in his chamber: and they smite him, and slay him, and take off his head: and they took his head, and went all the night by the western road.
Kad su ušli u kuću, on je ležao na postelji u svojoj spavaonici. Oni ga ubiše, odsjekoše mu glavu i uzeše je i cijelu su onu noć išli putem kroz Arabu.
8 And they brought the head of Jebosthe to David to Chebron, and they said to the king, Behold the head of Jebosthe the son of Saul thy enemy, who sought thy life; and the Lord has executed for my lord the king vengeance on his enemies, as [it is] this day: even on Saul thy enemy, and on his seed.
Glavu Išbaalovu donesoše Davidu u Hebron i rekoše kralju: “Evo glave Išbaala, sina Šaulova, tvoga neprijatelja koji ti je radio o glavi. Jahve je danas krvavo osvetio moga gospodara i kralja na Šaulu i njegovu rodu.”
9 And David answered and Rechab and Baana his brother, the sons of Remmon the Berothite, and said to them, [As] the Lord lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all affliction;
Ali David odvrati Rekabu i njegovu bratu Baani, sinovima Rimona iz Beerota, i reče im: “Tako mi živog Jahve koje me izbavio iz svake nevolje!
10 he that reported to me that Saul was dead, even he was as one bringing glad tidings before me: but I seized him and slew him in Sekelac, to whom I ought, [as he thought], to have given a reward for his tidings.
Onaj koji mi je javio da je poginuo Šaul mislio je da mi javlja radosnu vijest, a ja sam ga uhvatio i pogubio u Siklagu da mu platim za njegovu dobru vijest!
11 And now evil men have slain a righteous men in his house on his bed: now then I will require his blood of your hand, and I will destroy you from off the earth.
Što ću tek učiniti sa zlikovcima koji su ubili poštena čovjeka u njegovoj kući, na njegovoj postelji! Zar da ne tražim od vas račun za njegovu krv i da vas ne istrijebim sa zemlje?”
12 And David commanded his young men, and they slay them, and cut off their hands and their feet; and they hung them up at the fountain in Chebron: and they buried the head of Jebosthe in the tomb of Abenezer the son of Ner.
Nato David zapovjedi vojnicima te ih pogubiše. Potom im odsjekoše ruke i noge i objesiše ih kod jezera u Hebronu. Išbaalovu glavu uzeše i pokopaše u Abnerovu grobu u Hebronu.
