Kings II 21
1 And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the Lord. And the Lord said, [There is] guilt upon Saul and his house because of his bloody murder, whereby he killed the Gabaonites.
U dane Davidove vladaše jednom glad tri godine uzastopce. David se obrati Jahvi, a Jahve mu odgovori: “Na Šaulu i njegovu domu leži krvna krivnja jer je pogubio Gibeonce.”
2 And King David called the Gabaonites, and said to them; —(now the Gabaonites are not the children of Israel, but [are] of the remnant of the Amorite, and the children of Israel had sworn to them: but Saul sought to strike them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Juda.)
Tada kralj sazva Gibeonce da ih pita. Ti Gibeonci nisu pripadali Izraelcima, nego su bili ostatak Amorejaca, kojima se Izraelci bijahu zakleli zakletvom, ali je Šaul tražio da ih uništi u svojoj revnosti za Izraelce i Judejce.
3 And David said to the Gabaonites, What shall I do to you? and wherewithal shall I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of the Lord?
David, dakle, upita Gibeonce: “Što da vam učinim i čime da vam dadem zadovoljštinu da biste blagoslovili baštinu Jahvinu?”
4 And the Gabaonites said to him, We have no [question about] silver or gold with Saul and with his house; and there is no man for us to put to death in Israel.
Gibeonci odgovoriše: “Ne tražimo mi ni srebra ni zlata od Šaula i njegova doma, niti nam je stalo da se pogubi koji čovjek u Izraelu.” David će im nato: “Što reknete učinit ću za vas.”
5 And he said, What say you? speak, and I will do it for you. And they said to the king, The man who would have made an end of us, and persecuted us, who plotted against us to destroy us, let us utterly destroy him, so that he shall have no standing in all the coasts of Israel.
A oni odgovoriše kralju: “Čovjek koji nas je zatirao i koji je smišljao da nas uništi, da nas ne bude nigdje u svemu izraelskom području,
6 Let one give us seven men of his sons, and let us hang them up in the sun to the Lord in Gabaon of Saul, as chosen out for the Lord. And the king said, I will give [them].
od njegovih potomaka neka nam se preda sedam ljudi da ih objesimo pred Jahvom u Gibeonu na gori Jahvinoj.” Kralj odvrati: “Dat ću vam ih.”
7 But the king spared Memphibosthe son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord that was between them, even between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
Kralj poštedje Meribaala, sina Šaulova sina Jonatana, zbog zakletve pred Jahvom koja ih je vezala, Davida i Jonatana, sina Šaulova.
8 And the king took the two sons of Respha the daughter of Aia, whom she bore to Saul, Hermonoi and Memphibosthe, and the five sons of Michol daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Esdriel son of Berzelli the Moulathite.
Tako kralj uze oba sina Rispe, Ajine kćeri, koje je rodila Šaulu, Armonija i Meribaala, i svih pet sinova Merabe, Šaulove kćeri, koje je rodila Adrielu, sinu Barzilajevu, iz Mehole.
9 And he gave them into the hand of the Gabaonites, and they hanged them up to the sun in the mountain before the lord: and they fell, even the seven together: moreover they were put to death in the days of harvest at the commencement, in the beginning of barley harvest.
Njih dade u ruke Gibeoncima, a oni ih objesiše na gori pred Jahvom. Tako sva sedmorica poginuše zajedno, pogubljeni prvih dana žetve, na početku ječmene žetve.
10 And Respha the daughter of Aia took sackcloth, and fixed it for herself on the rock in the beginning of barley harvest, until water dropped upon them out of heaven: and she did not suffer the birds of the air to rest upon them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
Rispa, Ajina kći, uze kostrijet i prostrije je za sebe na stijeni od početka ječmene žetve sve dok nije kiša s neba pala na mrtva tijela, i tako nije dala nebeskim pticama da se spuštaju na njih danju ni poljskim zvijerima noću.
11 And it was told David what Respha the daughter of Aia the concubine of Saul had done, [and they were faint, and Dan, the son of Joa of the offspring of the giants overtook them.]
Kad su Davidu javili što je učinila Ajina kći Rispa, Šaulova inoča,
12 And David went and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the men of the sons of Jabis Galaad, who stole them from the street of Baethsan; for the Philistines set them there in the day in which the Philistines struck Saul in Gelbue.
ode David i uze Šaulove kosti i kosti njegova sina Jonatana od stanovnika Jabeša Gileadskog, koji ih bijahu potajno odnijeli s trga u Bet Šanu, gdje su ih objesili Filistejci u onaj dan kad su Filistejci porazili Šaula na Gilboi.
13 And he carried up thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and gathered the bones of them that had been hanged.
David prenese odande Šaulove kosti i kosti njegova sina Jonatana pa ih združi s kostima pogubljenih.
14 And they buried the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and the bones of them that had been hanged, in the land of Benjamin in the hill, in the sepulchre of Cis his father; and they did all things that the king commanded: and after this God listened to [the prayers of] the land.
I ukopaše Šaulove kosti i kosti njegova sina Jonatana s kostima pogubljenih u zemlji Benjaminovoj, u Seli, u grobu Šaulova oca Kiša. Pošto izvršiše sve što je kralj zapovjedio, Bog se smilova zemlji.
15 And there was yet war between the Philistines and Israel: and David went down and his servants with him, and they fought with the Philistines, and David went.
Jednom opet nasta rat između Filistejaca i Izraelaca. David ode u boj sa svojim ljudima te su se borili s Filistejcima tako da se David umorio.
16 And Jesbi, who was of the progeny of Rapha, and the head of whose spear [was] three hundred shekels of brass in weight, who also was girded with a club, even he thought to strike David.
Išibenob, jedan od Rafinih potomaka, čije je koplje bilo teško tri stotine mjedenih šekela i koji o pripasu imaše nov mač, hvastao se tada da će ubiti Davida.
17 And Abessa the son of Saruia helped him and struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore, saying, You shall not any longer go out with us to battle, and you shall not quench the lamp of Israel.
Ali Davidu priskoči u pomoć Sarvijin sin Abišaj; udari on Filistejca te ga ubi. Tada se Davidovi ljudi zakleše rekavši Davidu: “Nećeš više ići s nama u boj, da ne ugasiš svjetiljke Izraelove!”
18 And after this there was a battle again with the Philistines in Geth: then Sebocha the Astatothite killed Seph of the progeny of Rapha.
Poslije toga opet izbi rat s Filistejcima u Gobu; tada je Hušanin Sibkaj pogubio Sipaja, jednoga od Rafinih potomaka.
19 And there was a battle in Rom with the Philistines; and Eleanan son of Ariorgim the Bethleemite killed Goliath the Gittite; and the staff of his spear [was] as a weaver's beam.
Uz to nasta rat s Filistejcima u Gobu; tada je Jairov sin Elhanan iz Betlehema pogubio Golijata Gitejca, koji je imao kopljaču kao tkalačko vratilo.
20 And there was yet a battle in Geth: and there was a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands and the toes of his feet [were] six on each, four and twenty in number: and he also was born to Rapha.
Potom opet izbi rat u Gatu, gdje je bio neki čovjek visoka rasta: imaše taj na svakoj ruci i nozi po šest prstiju, dakle dvadeset i četiri; i on bijaše potomak Rafin.
21 And he defied Israel, and Jonathan son of Semei brother of David, struck him.
Kad je počeo ružiti Izraela, ubi ga Jonatan, sin Davidova brata Šimeja.
22 These four were born descendants of the giants in Geth, the family of Rapha; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Ta četvorica bijahu potomci istoga Rafe iz Gata, a poginuše od ruke Davidove i od ruku njegovih slugu.
