< 2 Samuel 4 >

1 When Ishbosheth, son of Saul, heard that Abner had died in Hebron, he was very discouraged, and everyone in Israel was shocked.
A kad èu sin Saulov da je poginuo Avenir u Hevronu, klonuše mu ruke, i sav se Izrailj smete.
2 Ishbosheth had two commanders of his raiding bands, brothers by the name of Baanah and Rechab. They were the sons of Rimmon of the tribe of Benjamin from the town of Beeroth. Beeroth is considered part of the territory of Benjamin,
A imaše sin Saulov dvije vojvode nad èetama; jednom bješe ime Vana, a drugom bješe ime Rihav, sinovi Rimona Viroæanina, od sinova Venijaminovijeh; jer se i Virot brojaše Venijaminu;
3 because the people who had lived in Beeroth before ran away to Gittaim and lived there as foreigners right up to the present.
A Viroæani bijahu pobjegli u Gitajim, gdje ostaše kao došljaci do današnjega dana.
4 Jonathan, son of Saul, had a son lame in both feet. He was five years old when the news about the deaths of Saul and Jonathan had come from Jezreel. His nurse had picked him up and ran away, but as she rushed to get away, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.
I imaše Jonatan sin Saulov sina hroma na nogu, kojemu bijaše pet godina kad doðe glas o smrti Saulovoj i Jonatanovoj iz Jezraela, te ga uze dadilja njegova i pobježe, i kad brzo bježaše, on pade i ohronu; a ime mu bijaše Mefivostej.
5 Rechab and Baanah, sons of Rimmon from Beeroth, went to Ishbosheth's house, arriving in the heat of the day as the king was taking his midday rest.
I poðoše sinovi Rimona Viroæanina, Rihav i Vana, i doðoše u podne u kuæu Isvostejevu; a on poèivaše u podne.
6 The woman doorkeeper had been cleaning wheat, but she had grown tired and fallen asleep, so Rechab and Baanah were able to slip inside.
I uðoše u kuæu kao da uzmu pšenice, i probodoše ga pod peto rebro Rihav i Vana, i pobjegoše.
7 They had gone into the house while Ishbosheth was asleep on his bed in his bedroom. After stabbing and killing him, they cut off his head which they took with them, and they traveled all night by the Jordan Valley road.
Kad uðoše u kuæu, on ležaše na postelji svojoj u klijeti gdje spavaše, te ga probodoše i ubiše, i otsjekoše mu glavu i uzeše je, pa otidoše putem preko polja cijelu onu noæ.
8 They took the head of Ishbosheth to David in Hebron. They told the king, “Here is the head of Ishbosheth, son of Saul, your enemy who tried to kill you. Today the Lord has taken revenge on Saul and his family for my lord the king.”
I donesoše glavu Isvostejevu Davidu u Hevron, i rekoše caru: evo glave Isvosteja sina Saulova, neprijatelja tvojega, koji je tražio dušu tvoju; i Gospod osveti danas cara gospodara mojega od Saula i sjemena njegova.
9 But David answered Rechab and his brother Baanah, sons of Rimmon from Beeroth, “As the Lord lives, who has saved me from all my troubles,
Ali David odgovarajuæi Rihavu i Vani bratu njegovu, sinovima Rimona Viroæanina, reèe im: tako da je živ Gospod, koji je izbavio dušu moju iz svake nevolje.
10 when someone told me, ‘Look, Saul is dead’ and he thought he was bringing me good news, I grabbed him and had him put him to death at Ziklag. That was what he got for bringing me his news!
Kad onoga koji mi javi govoreæi: gle, pogibe Saul, i mišljaše da æe mi javiti dobre glase, uhvatih i ubih u Siklagu, i to mu bi od mene dar za glase njegove,
11 Even more so then, when evil men kill a good man in his own house, and in his own bed, shouldn't I demand you pay for his life with your own lives, and exterminate you!”
Akamoli ljude bezbožne, koji ubiše èovjeka prava, u kuæi njegovoj, na postelji njegovoj! neæu li iskati krvi njegove iz vaših ruku, i vas istrijebiti sa zemlje?
12 David gave the order to his men, and they killed Rechab and Baanah. They chopped off their hands and feet, and hung their bodies by the pool in Hebron. Then they took Ishbosheth's head and buried it in Abner's grave in Hebron.
I zapovjedi David momcima svojim, te ih pogubiše, i otsjekoše im ruke i noge, i objesiše kod jezera Hevronskoga; a glavu Isvostejevu uzeše i pogreboše u grobu Avenirovu u Hevronu.
