Kings II 20
1 And there was a transgressor [so] called there, and his name was Sabee, a Benjamite, the son of Bochori: and he blew the trumpet, and said, We have no portion in David, neither have we [any] inheritance in the son of Jessae: to your tents, O Israel, every one.
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.«
2 And all the men of Israel went up from following David after Sabee the son of Bochori: but the men of Juda adhered to their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
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.
3 And David went into his house at Jerusalem: and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and he put them in a place of custody, and maintained them, and went not in to them; and they were kept living as widows, till the day of their death.
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.
4 And the king said to Amessai, Call to me the men of Juda for three days, and do you be present here.
Potem je kralj rekel Amasáju: »V treh dneh mi zberi može iz Juda in ti bodi tu prisoten.«
5 And Amessai went to call Juda, and delayed beyond the time which David appointed him.
Tako je Amasá odšel, da zbere Judove može, toda zadržal se je dlje kakor postavljen čas, ki mu je bil določen.
6 And David said to Amessai, Now shall Sabee the son of Bochori do us more harm than Abessalom: now then take you with you the servants of your lord, and follow after him, lest he find for himself strong cities, so will he blind our eyes.
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.«
7 And there went out after him Amessai and the men of Joab, and the Cherethites, and the Phelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out from Jerusalem to pursue after Sabee the son of Bochori.
Tam so odšli ven za njim Joábovi možje, Keretéjci, Péletovci in vsi mogočni možje. Odšli so iz Jeruzalema, da zasledujejo Bihríjevega sina Ševája.
8 And they [were] by the great stone that is in Gabaon: and Amessai went in before them: and Joab had upon him a military cloak over his apparel, and over it he was girded with a dagger fastened upon his loins in its scabbard: and the dagger came out, it even came out and fell.
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.
9 And Joab said to Amessai, Are you in health, [my] brother? and the right hand of Joab took hold of the beard of Amessai to kiss him.
Joáb je rekel Amasáju: » Ali si pri zdravju, moj brat?« Joáb je z desnico prijel Amasája za brado, da ga poljubi.
10 And Amessai observed not the dagger that was in the hand of Joab: and Joab struck him with it on the loins, and his bowels were shed out upon the ground, and he did not repeat the blow, and he died: and Joab and Abessai his brother pursued after Sabee the son of Bochori.
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.
11 And there stood over him one of the servants of Joab, and said, Who [is] he that is for Joab, and who [is] on the side of David following Joab?
Eden izmed Joábovih mož je stal poleg njega ter rekel: »Kdor je naklonjen Joábu in kdor je za Davida, ta naj gre za Joábom.«
12 And Amessai [was] weltering in blood in the midst of the way. And a man saw that all the people stood still; and he removed Amessai out of the path into a field, and he cast a garment upon him, because he saw every one that came to him standing still.
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.
13 And when he was quickly removed from the road, every man of Israel passed after Joab to pursue after Sabee the son of Bochori.
Ko je bil odstranjen z glavne ceste, je vse ljudstvo odšlo naprej za Joábom, da zasledujejo Bihríjevega sina Ševája.
14 And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Bethmacha; and all in Charri too were assembled, and followed after him.
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.
15 And they came and besieged him in Abel and Phermacha: and they raised a mound against the city and it stood close to the wall; and all the people with Joab proposed to throw down the wall.
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.
16 And a wise woman cried from the wall, and said, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, to Joab, Draw near hither, and I will speak to him.
Potem je modra ženska iz mesta zaklicala: »Poslušajte, poslušajte. Recite, prosim vas, Joábu: ›Pridi blizu sèm, da lahko govorim s teboj.‹«
17 And he drew near to her, and the woman said to him, Are you Joab? and he said, I [am]. And she said to him, Hear the words of your handmaid; and Joab said, I do hear.
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.«
18 And she spoke, saying, Of old time they said thus, Surely one was asked in Abel, and Dan, whether the faithful in Israel failed in what they purposed; they will surely ask in Abel, even in like manner, whether they have failed.
Potem je spregovorila, rekoč: »V starih časih so bili navajeni govoriti, rekoč: ›Zagotovo bodo vprašali za nasvet v Abélu, ‹ in tako so končali zadevo.
19 I am a peaceful one of the strong ones in Israel; but you seek to destroy a city and a mother city in Israel: why do you seek to ruin the inheritance of the Lord?
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?«
20 And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should ruin or destroy.
Joáb je odgovoril in rekel: »Daleč bodi to, daleč bodi to od mene, da bi pogoltnil ali uničil.
21 Is not the case thus, that a man of mount Ephraim, Sabee, son of Bochori by name, has even lifted up his hand against king David? Give him only to me, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to you over the wall.
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.«
22 And the woman went in to all the people, and she spoke to all the city in her wisdom; and they took off the head of Sabee the son of Bochori; and took it away and threw it to Joab: and he blew the trumpet, and the people separated from the city away from him, every man to his tent: and Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
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.
23 And Joab [was] over all the forces of Israel: and Banaias the son of Jodae [was] over the Cherethites and over the Phelethites.
Torej Joáb je bil nad vso Izraelovo vojsko. Jojadájev sin Benajá je bil nad Keretéjci in nad Péletovci;
24 And Adoniram [was] over the tribute: and Josaphath the son of Achiluth [was] recorder.
Adorám je bil nad davkom; Ahilúdov sin Józafat je bil letopisec;
25 And Susa [was] scribe: and Sadoc and Abiathar [were] priests.
Ševá je bil pisar; Cadók in Abjatár sta bila duhovnika;
26 Moreover Iras the [son of] Iarin was priest to David.
in tudi Jaírovec Irá je bil glavni častnik pri Davidu.
