2 Samuel 2
1 Now after this, David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go up into any of the towns of Judah? And the Lord said to him, Go up. And David said, Where am I to go? And he said, To Hebron.
A poslije toga David upita Gospoda govoreæi: hoæu li otiæi u koji grad Judin? A Gospod mu reèe: otidi. A David reèe: u koji da otidem? Reèe: Hevron.
2 So David went there, taking with him his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
I David otide onamo sa dvije žene svoje, Ahinoamom iz Jezraela i Avigejom koja prije bješe žena Navala iz Karmila.
3 And David took all his men with him, every man with his family: and they were living in the towns round Hebron.
I ljude koji bijahu s njim odvede David, sve s porodicama njihovijem, i nastaniše se po gradovima Hevronskim.
4 And the men of Judah came there, and with the holy oil made David king over the people of Judah. And word came to David that it was the men of Jabesh-gilead who put Saul's body in its last resting-place.
I doðoše ljudi od Jude, i pomazaše ondje Davida za cara nad domom Judinijem. I javiše Davidu govoreæi: ljudi iz Javisa Galadova pogreboše Saula.
5 And David sent to the men of Jabesh-gilead and said to them, May the Lord give you his blessing, because you have done this kind act to Saul your lord, and have put his body to rest!
I David posla poslanike k ljudima u Javisu Galadovu, i reèe im: da ste blagosloveni Gospodu što uèiniste milost gospodaru svojemu, Saulu, i pogreboste ga.
6 May the Lord be good and true to you: and I myself will see that your kind act is rewarded, because you have done this thing.
Zato da uèini Gospod vama milost i vjeru; a ja æu vam uèiniti dobro, što ste to uèinili.
7 Then let your hands be strong, and have no fear: though Saul your lord is dead, the people of Judah have made me their king.
I neka vam se ukrijepe ruke i budite hrabri; jer Saul gospodar vaš pogibe, a dom Judin pomaza mene za cara nad sobom.
8 Now Abner, the son of Ner, captain of Saul's army, had taken Saul's son Ish-bosheth over to Mahanaim,
Ali Avenir sin Nirov vojvoda Saulov uze Isvosteja sina Saulova, i odvede ga u Mahanajim.
9 And made him king over Gilead and the Asherites and over Jezreel and Ephraim and Benjamin, that is, over all Israel.
I zacari ga nad Galadom i nad Asurom i Jezraelom i Jefremom i Venijaminom i nad svijem Izrailjem.
10 (Saul's son Ish-bosheth was forty years old when he became king over Israel, and he was ruler for two years.) But Judah was on the side of David.
Èetrdeset godina bješe Isvosteju sinu Saulovu kad poèe carovati nad Izrailjem; i carova dvije godine. Samo dom Judin držaše se Davida.
11 And the time when David was king in Hebron over the people of Judah was seven years and six months.
A David carova u Hevronu nad domom Judinijem sedam godina i šest mjeseca.
12 And Abner, the son of Ner, with the servants of Saul's son Ish-bosheth, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
Potom izide Avenir sin Nirov i sluge Isvosteja sina Saulova iz Mahanajima u Gavaon.
13 And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out and came face to face with them by the pool of Gibeon; and they took up their position, facing one another on opposite sides of the pool.
Takoðe i Joav sin Serujin i sluge Davidove izidoše i sretoše se s njima kod jezera Gavaonskoga, i stadoše jedni s jedne strane jezera a drugi s druge strane.
14 And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men give a test of their strength before us. And Joab said, Let them do so.
Tada reèe Avenir Joavu: neka ustanu momci i neka se proigraju pred nama. I reèe Joav: neka ustanu.
15 So they got up and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin and Ish-bosheth and twelve of the servants of David.
I ustaše, i izidoše na broj: dvanaest od Venijamina sa strane Isvosteja sina Saulova, i dvanaest izmeðu sluga Davidovijeh.
16 And every one got the other by the head, driving his sword into the other's side, so they all went down together: and that place was named the Field of Sides, and it is in Gibeon.
I uhvatiše jedan drugoga za glavu, i tisnu jedan drugomu maè svoj u bok, i popadaše zajedno. Otuda se prozva ono mjesto Halkat-Asurim kod Gavaona.
17 And there was hard fighting that day; and Abner and the men of Israel gave way before the servants of David.
I bi žestok boj onoga dana; i sluge Davidove razbiše Avenira i Izrailjce.
18 There were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab and Abishai and Asahel: and Asahel was as quick-footed as a roe of the fields.
A ondje bijahu tri sina Serujina: Joav i Avisaj i Asailo. A Asailo bijaše lak na nogu kao srna u polju;
19 Asahel went running after Abner, not turning to the right or to the left.
I potjera Asailo Avenira, i ne svrnu ni nadesno ni nalijevo iza Avenira.
20 Then Abner, looking back, said, Is it you, Asahel? And he said, It is I.
I Avenir obazre se natrag i reèe: jesi li ti, Asailo? A on reèe: ja sam.
21 And Abner said, Then go to the right or to the left and put your hands on one of the fighting-men and take his arms. But Asahel would not be turned away from going after Abner.
A Avenir mu reèe: svrni nadesno ili nalijevo, i uzmi jednoga od tijeh momaka, i skini odoru s njega. Ali ne htje Asailo svrnuti iza njega.
22 Then again Abner said to Asahel, Go to one side, do not keep on coming after me: why will you make me put an end to you? for then I will be shamed before your brother Joab.
I Avenir opet reèe Asailu: otstupi od mene; zašto da te sastavim sa zemljom? i kako bih smeo pogledati u Joava brata tvojega?
23 But still he did not go to one side: so Abner gave him a back blow in the stomach with his spear, so that the spear came out at his back; and he went down on the earth, wounded to death: and all those who came to the place where Asahel went down dead, came to a stop.
Ali on ne htje otstupiti; i Avenir ga udari kopljem pod peto rebro, i izaðe mu koplje na leða, te on pade ondje i umrije na mjesto. I ko god doðe na ono mjesto gdje pade i pogibe Asailo, ustavljaše se.
24 But Joab and Abishai went after Abner: and the sun went down when they came to the hill of Ammah, which is to the east of the road through the waste land of Geba.
Ali Joav i Avisaj potjeraše Avenira, i sunce zaðe kad doðoše do brda Ame, koja je prema Giji na putu u pustinju Gavaonsku.
25 And the men of Benjamin came together after Abner in one band, and took their places on the top of a hill.
I skupiše se sinovi Venijaminovi za Avenirom, te se naèini èeta, i stadoše na vrh jednoga brda.
26 Then crying out to Joab, Abner said, Are fighting and destruction to go on for ever? do you not see that the end will only be bitter? how long will it be before you send the people back and make them give up attacking their countrymen?
I Avenir viknu Joava i reèe: hoæe li maè proždirati dovijeka? ne znaš li da jadi bivaju napošljetku? zašto veæ ne kažeš narodu da se proðu braæe svoje?
27 And Joab said, By the living God, if you had not given the word, the people would have gone on attacking their countrymen till the morning.
A Joav reèe: tako živ bio Bog, da nijesi kazao, narod bi još jutros otišao, nijedan ne bi tjerao brata svojega.
28 So Joab had a horn sounded, and all the people came to a stop, and gave up going after Israel and fighting them.
Tada zatrubi Joav u trubu, i ustavi se sav narod i prestaše tjerati Izrailja, i ne biše se više.
29 And all that night Abner and his men went through the Arabah; they went over Jordan and through all Bithron and came to Mahanaim.
I tako Avenir i ljudi njegovi idoše preko polja cijelu onu noæ, i prijeðoše preko Jordana, i prošavši sav Vitron doðoše u Mahanajim.
30 And Joab came back from fighting Abner: and when he had got all his men together, it was seen that nineteen of David's men, in addition to Asahel, were not with them.
A Joav se vrati od Avenira, i kad skupi sav narod, ne bješe od sluga Davidovijeh devetnaest ljudi i Asaila.
31 But David's men had put to death three hundred and sixty of the men of Benjamin and of Abner's men
Ali sluge Davidove pobiše sinova Venijaminovijeh, ljudi Avenirovijeh, tri stotine i šezdeset ljudi, koji izgiboše.
32 And they took Asahel's body and put it in the last resting-place of his father in Beth-lehem. And Joab and his men, travelling all night, came to Hebron at dawn.
A Asaila uzeše i pogreboše u grobu oca njegova koji bijaše u Vitlejemu. I Joav i ljudi njegovi idoše svu noæ, i osvanuše u Hevronu.
