2 Samuel 20
1 There happened to be there a base fellow, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bikri, a Benjamite: and he blew the trumpet, and said, "We have no portion in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, 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 all the men of Israel went up from following David, and followed Sheba the son of Bikri; but the men of Judah joined with their king, from the 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 David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his secondary wives, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in custody, and provided them with sustenance, but did not go 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 the king said to Amasa, "Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and be 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 call the men of Judah together; but he stayed 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 David said to Abishai, "Now Sheba the son of Bikri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Now then, take your lord's servants, and pursue after him, lest he get himself fortified cities, and escape out of our sight."
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 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 Bikri.
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 came to meet them. Joab was clothed in his apparel of war that he had put on, and on it was a sash with a sword fastened on his waist 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 Joab said to Amasa, "Is it well with you, my brother?" Joab took Amasa by the beard with his 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 struck him with it in the body, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and did not strike him again; and he died. Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bikri.
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 There stood by him one of Joab's young men, and said, "He who favors Joab, and he who is for David, let him follow 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 Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the midst of the highway. When the man saw that all the people stood still, he carried Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a garment over him, when he saw that everyone who 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 taken out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bikri.
Ko je bil odstranjen z glavne ceste, je vse ljudstvo odšlo naprej za Joábom, da zasledujejo Bihríjevega sina Ševája.
14 He went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel of Beth Maacah, and all the Bikrites; and they assembled and followed 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 They came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maacah, and they built a siege ramp against the city, and it stood against the outer wall; and all the people who were with Joab battered the wall, to bring 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 a wise woman cried out of the city, "Hear, hear. Please say to Joab, 'Come near here, that I may speak with you.'"
Potem je modra ženska iz mesta zaklicala: »Poslušajte, poslušajte. Recite, prosim vas, Joábu: ›Pridi blizu sèm, da lahko govorim s teboj.‹«
17 He came near to her; and the woman said, "Are you Joab?" He answered, "I am." Then she said to him, "Hear the words of your handmaid." 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 used to say a saying, 'Let them inquire in Abel and in Dan whether
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 that which the faithful of Israel established has been carried out.' You seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why do you want to 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 Joab answered, "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 the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bikri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, even against David. Deliver him only, and I will depart from the city." The woman said to Joab, "Look, his head shall be thrown to you 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 Bikri, and threw it out to Joab. He blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from the city, every man to his tent. 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 army 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 Adoniram was over the men subject to forced labor; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
Adorám je bil nad davkom; Ahilúdov sin Józafat je bil letopisec;
25 and Shisha was scribe; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
Ševá je bil pisar; Cadók in Abjatár sta bila duhovnika;
26 and also Ira the Jairite was chief minister to David.
in tudi Jaírovec Irá je bil glavni častnik pri Davidu.
