< Kings II 3 >

1 And there was war for a long time between the house of Saul and the house of David; and the house of David grew continually stronger; but the house of Saul grew continually weaker.
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.
2 And sons were born to David in Chebron: and his firstborn was Ammon the son of Achinoom the Jezraelitess.
Davidu so se v Hebrónu rodili sinovi. Njegov prvorojenec je bil Amnón; od Jezreélke Ahinóam;
3 And his second son [was] Daluia, the son of Abigaia the Carmelitess; and the third, Abessalom the son of Maacha the daughter of Tholmi the king of Gessir.
in njegov drugi Kiláb od Abigájile, žene Karmelčana Nabála in tretji Absalom, sin Maáhe, hčere gešurskega kralja Talmája;
4 And the fourth [was] Ornia, the son of Aggith, and the fifth [was] Saphatia, the son of Abital.
in četrti Adoníja, Hagítin sin; in peti Šefatjá, sin Abitále;
5 And the sixth [was] Jetheraam, the son of Aegal the wife of David. These were born to David in Chebron.
in šesti Jitreám od Davidove žene Egle. Ti so bili rojeni Davidu v Hebrónu.
6 And it came to pass while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abenner was governing the house of Saul.
Pripetilo se je, medtem ko je bila vojna med Savlovo hišo in Davidovo hišo, da je Abnêr sebe naredil močnega za Savlovo hišo.
7 And Saul had a concubine, Respha, the daughter of Jol; and Jebosthe the son of Saul said to Abenner, Why have you gone in to my father's concubine?
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?«
8 And Abenner was very angry with Jebosthe for this saying; and Abenner said to him, Am I a dog's head? I have this day wrought kindness with the house of Saul your father, and with his brethren and friends, and have not gone over to the house of David, and do you this day seek a charge against me concerning injury to a woman?
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?
9 God do thus and more also to Abenner, if as the Lord swore to David, so do I not to him this day;
Tako stori Bog Abnêrju in še več, razen če, kakor je Gospod prisegel Davidu, celo tako jaz storim njemu,
10 to take away the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to raise up the throne of David over Israel and over Juda from Dan to Bersabee.
da se kraljestvo prestavi od Savlove hiše in da postavi Davidov prestol čez Izraela in čez Juda, od Dana, celo do Beeršébe.«
11 And Jebosthe could not any longer answer Abenner a word, because he feared him.
In ni mogel Abnêrju ponovno odgovoriti besede, ker se ga je bal.
12 And Abenner sent messengers to David to Thaelam where he was, immediately, saying, Make your covenant with me, and, behold, my hand [is] with you to bring back to you all the house of Israel.
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.«
13 And David said, With a good will I will make with you a covenant: only I demand one condition of you, saying, You shall not see my face, unless you bring Melchol the daughter of Saul, when you come to see my face.
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.‹«
14 And David sent messengers to Jebosthe the son of Saul, saying, Restore me my wife Melchol, whom I took for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
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.«
15 And Jebosthe sent, and took her from her husband, [even] from Phaltiel the son of Selle.
Iš Bošet je poslal in jo vzel od njenega soproga, torej od Lajiševega sina Paltíela.
16 And her husband went with her weeping behind her as far as Barakim. And Abenner said to him, Go, return; and he returned.
Njen soprog je odšel skupaj z njo, jokajoč za njo, do Bahuríma. Potem mu je Abnêr rekel: »Pojdi, vrni se.« In se je vrnil.
17 And Abenner spoke to the elders of Israel, saying, In former days you sought David to reign over you;
Abnêr je imel pogovor z Izraelovimi starešinami, rekoč: »V preteklih časih ste iskali za Davidom, da bi bil kralj nad vami.
18 and now perform [it]: for the Lord has spoken concerning David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save Israel out of the hand of all their enemies.
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.‹«
19 And Abenner spoke in the ears of Benjamin: and Abenner went to speak in the ears of David at Chebron, all that seemed good in the eyes of Israel and in the eyes of the house of Benjamin.
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.
20 And Abenner came to David to Chebron, and with him twenty men: and David made for Abenner and his men with him a banquet of wine.
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.
21 And Abenner said to David, I will arise now, and go, and gather to my lord the king all Israel; and I will make with him a covenant, and you shall reign over all whom your soul desires. And David sent away Abenner, and he departed in peace.
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.
22 And, behold, the servants of David and Joab arrived from their expedition, and they brought much spoil with them: and Abenner was not with David in Chebron, because he had sent him away, and he had departed in peace.
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.
23 And Joab and all his army came, and it was reported to Joab, saying, Abenner the son of Ner is come to David, and David has let him go, and he has departed in peace.
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.«
24 And Joab went in to the king, and said, What [is] this [that] you have done? behold, Abenner came to you; and why have you let him go, and he has departed in peace?
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?
25 Know you not the mischief of Abenner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all things that you do?
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.«
26 And Joab returned from David, and sent messengers to Abenner after [him]; and they bring him back from the well of Seiram: but David knew [it] not.
Ko je Joáb prišel od Davida, je za Abnêrjem poslal poslance, ki so ga ponovno privedli od vodnjaka Sire. Toda David tega ni vedel.
27 And he brought back Abenner to Chebron, and Joab caused him to turn aside from the gate to speak to him, laying wait for him: and he struck him there in the loins, and he died for the blood of Asael the brother of Joab.
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.
28 And David heard [of it] afterwards, and said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the Lord even for ever of the blood of Abenner the son of Ner.
Potem ko je David to slišal, je rekel: »Jaz in moje kraljestvo sva brez krivde pred Gospodom na veke pred krvjo Nerovega sina Abnêrja.
29 Let it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon all the house of his father; and let there not be lacking of the house of Joab one that has an issue, or a leper, or that leans on a staff, or that falls by the sword, or that wants bread.
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.«
30 For Joab and Abessa his brother laid wait continually for Abenner, because he killed Asael their brother at Gabaon in the battle.
Tako sta Joáb in njegov brat Abišáj umorila Abnêrja, ker je ubil njunega brata Asaéla v bitki pri Gibeónu.
31 And David said to Joab and to all the people with him, Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament before Abenner. And king David followed the bier.
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.
32 And they bury Abenner in Chebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at his tomb, and all the people wept for Abenner.
Abnêrja so pokopali v Hebrónu. Kralj je povzdignil svoj glas in jokal nad Abnêrjevim grobom in vse ljudstvo je jokalo.
33 And the king mourned over Abenner, and said, Shall Abenner die according to the death of Nabal?
Kralj je žaloval nad Abnêrjem in rekel: »Je Abnêr umrl, kakor umira bedak?
34 Your hands were not bound, and your feet [were] not [put] in fetters: [one] brought [you] not near as Nabal; you did fall before children of iniquity.
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.
35 And all the people assembled to weep for him. And all the people came to cause David to eat bread while it was yet day: and David swore, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if I eat bread or any thing else before the sun goes down.
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.«
36 And all the people took notice, and all things that the king did before the people were pleasing in their sight.
Vse ljudstvo je to opazilo in to jim je ugajalo, kakor karkoli je kralj storil, je vsemu ljudstvu ugajalo.
37 So all the people and all Israel perceived in that day, that it was not of the king to kill Abenner the son of Ner.
Kajti vse ljudstvo in ves Izrael je ta dan razumelo, da to ni bilo od kralja, da umori Nerovega sina Abnêrja.
38 And the king said to his servants, Know you not that a great prince is this day fallen in Israel?
Kralj je rekel svojim služabnikom: »Ali ne veste, da je ta dan tukaj v Izraelu padel princ in velik mož?
39 And that I am this day a [mere] kinsman [of his], and [as it were] a subject; but these men the sons of Saruia are too hard for me: the Lord reward the evil-doer according to his wickedness.
Jaz sem ta dan šibek, čeprav maziljen kralj in ti možje, Cerújini sinovi, so pretežki zame. Gospod bo hudodelca nagradil glede na njegovo zlobnost.«
