2 Samuel 20

1 And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name [was] Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjaminite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.

A ondje se desi nevaljao èovjek, po imenu Seva sin Vihrijev, od Venijamina. On zatrubi u trubu i reèe: mi nemamo dijela s Davidom, ni našljedstva sa sinom Jesejevijem; svak u svoj šator, o Izrailju!

2 So every man of Israel, withdrawing from David, followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah adhered to their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.

Tako svi Izrailjci otstupiše od Davida i otidoše za Sevom sinom Vihrijevim; ljudi pak od Jude držaše se cara svojega i otpratiše ga od Jordana do Jerusalima.

3 And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women [his] concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in custody, and fed them, but went not in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.

A kad car David doðe u kuæu svoju u Jerusalim, uze car deset žena inoèa, koje bješe ostavio da mu èuvaju kuæu, i metnu ih u zatvor, gdje ih hranjaše ali ne lijegaše s njima, nego ostaše zatvorene do smrti svoje i življahu kao udovice.

4 Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble to me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.

Potom reèe car Amasi: sazovi mi ljude od Jude do tri dana, i naði se i ti ovdje.

5 So Amasa went to assemble [the men of] Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.

I otide Amasa da sazove narod Judin; ali se zabavi preko roka koji mu bješe odreðen.

6 And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than [did] Absalom: take thou thy lord's servants, and pursue him, lest he get for himself fortified cities, and escape us.

A David reèe Avisaju: sad æe nam Seva sin Vihrijev èiniti gore nego Avesalom. Nego uzmi sluge gospodara svojega, i goni ga da ne naðe za se koji tvrd grad i ne umakne nam iz oèiju.

7 And there went out after him Joab's men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.

Tako izidoše za njim ljudi Joavovi, i Hereteji i Feleteji i svi junaci, izidoše iz Jerusalima da gone Sevu sina Vihrijeva.

8 When they [were] at the great stone which [is] in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab's garment that he had put on was girded to him, and upon it a girdle [with] a sword fastened upon his loins in its sheath; and as he went forth it fell out.

I kad bijahu kod velikoga kamena u Gavaonu, srete ih Amasa. A Joav bijaše opasan preko haljine koju imaše na sebi, i ozgo bijaše pripasao maè uz bedricu u koricama. I kad poðe, maè mu ispade.

9 And Joab said to Amasa, [Art] thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.

Tada reèe Joav Amasi: jesi li zdravo, brate? I dohvati se Joav desnom rukom svojom brade Amasi da ga cjeluje.

10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that [was] in Joab's hand: so he smote him in the fifth [rib], and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.

A Amasa ne uzimaše na um maèa, koji bijaše Joavu u ruci; a on ga udari njim pod peto rebro, i prosu mu crijeva na zemlju, te od jednoga udarca umrije. Potom Joav i Avisaj brat njegov otidoše u potjeru za Sevom sinom Vihrijevim.

11 And one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, He that favoreth Joab, and he that [is] for David, [let him go] after Joab.

A jedan od momaka Joavovijeh stade kod njega i reèe: ko ljubi Joava i ko je Davidov, za Joavom!

12 And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.

A Amasa se valjaše u svojoj krvi nasred puta. I videæi onaj èovjek gdje se ustavlja sav narod odvuèe Amasu s puta u polje i baci haljinu na nj, kad vidje gdje se ustavlja svaki ko naiðe na nj.

13 When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.

I kad bi uklonjen s puta proðoše svi za Joavom da tjeraju Sevu sina Vihrijeva.

14 And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Beth-maachah, and all the Berites: and they were assembled, and went also after him.

I on proðe kroz sva plemena Izrailjeva do Avela i do Vetmahe sa svijem Viranima, koji se okupiše te iðahu za njim.

15 And they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth-maachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that [were] with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.

I došavši opkoliše ga u Avel-Vet-Masi, i iskopaše opkop oko grada tako da stajahu pred zidom; i sav narod što bješe s Joavom navaljivaše da obori zid.

16 Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, to Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.

Tada viknu jedna mudra žena iz grada: èujte, èujte! Kažite Joavu: pristupi ovamo da govorim s tobom.

17 And when he was come near to her, the woman said, [Art] thou Joab? And he answered, I [am he]. Then she said to him, Hear the words of thy handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.

A kad on pristupi k njoj, reèe žena: jesi li ti Joav? A on reèe: jesam. A ona reèe: poslušaj rijeèi sluškinje svoje. A on reèe: da èujem.

18 Then she spoke, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They will surely ask [counsel] at Abel: and so they ended [the matter].

A ona reèe govoreæi: od starine se govori: valja pitati u Avelu. I tako se izvršivaše.

19 I [am one of them that are] peaceable [and] faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?

Ja sam jedan od mirnijeh i vjernijeh gradova u Izrailju, a ti hoæeš da zatreš grad, i to majku u Izrailju. Zašto hoæeš da proždreš našljedstvo Gospodnje?

20 And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.

A Joav odgovori i reèe: saèuvaj Bože! saèuvaj Bože! neæu da proždrem ni da raskopam.

21 The matter [is] not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, [even] against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.

Nije tako; nego jedan iz gore Jefremove, po imenu Seva sin Vihrijev, podigao je ruku svoju na cara Davida; dajte samo njega, pa æu otiæi od grada. A žena reèe Joavu: evo, glava njegova baciæe ti se preko zida.

22 Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast [it] out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.

I žena otide k svemu narodu s mudrošæu svojom; i otsjekoše glavu Sevi sinu Vihrijevu, i baciše je Joavu. A on zatrubi u trubu, te se razidoše od grada svak u svoj šator. A Joav se vrati u Jerusalim k caru.

23 Now Joab [was] over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites:

A bijaše Joav nad svom vojskom Izrailjevom; a Venaja sin Jodajev bijaše nad Heretejima i Feletejima;

24 And Adoram [was] over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud [was] recorder:

A Adoram bješe nad dancima; a Josafat sin Ahiludov bješe pametar;

25 And Sheva [was] scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar [were] the priests:

Seja pisar; a Sadok i Avijatar sveštenici.

26 And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David.

I Ira Jairanin bješe knez Davidu.
