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.
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 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 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 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.
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 Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble to me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.
Potem je kralj rekel Amasáju: »V treh dneh mi zberi može iz Juda in ti bodi tu prisoten.«
5 So Amasa went to assemble [the men of] Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had 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 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.
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 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.
Tam so odšli ven za njim Joábovi možje, Keretéjci, Péletovci in vsi mogočni možje. Odšli so iz Jeruzalema, da zasledujejo Bihríjevega sina Ševája.
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.
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 Amasa, [Art] thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
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 Beth-maachah, and all the Berites: and they were assembled, and went also 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 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.
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 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.
Potem je modra ženska iz mesta zaklicala: »Poslušajte, poslušajte. Recite, prosim vas, Joábu: ›Pridi blizu sèm, da lahko govorim s teboj.‹«
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.
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 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].
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 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?
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 swallow up or destroy.
Joáb je odgovoril in rekel: »Daleč bodi to, daleč bodi to od mene, da bi pogoltnil ali uničil.
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.
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 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.
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 Now Joab [was] over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites:
Torej Joáb je bil nad vso Izraelovo vojsko. Jojadájev sin Benajá je bil nad Keretéjci in nad Péletovci;
24 And Adoram [was] over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud [was] recorder:
Adorám je bil nad davkom; Ahilúdov sin Józafat je bil letopisec;
25 And Sheva [was] scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar [were] the priests:
Ševá je bil pisar; Cadók in Abjatár sta bila duhovnika;
26 And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David.
in tudi Jaírovec Irá je bil glavni častnik pri Davidu.
