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."

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 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 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 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.

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 the king said to Amasa, "Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and be 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 call the men of Judah together; but he stayed 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 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."

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 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.

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 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.

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 Joab said to Amasa, "Is it well with you, my brother?" Joab took Amasa by the beard with his 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 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.

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 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."

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

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.

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 taken out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bikri.

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

14 He went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel of Beth Maacah, and all the Bikrites; and they assembled and followed him.

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

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 a wise woman cried out of the city, "Hear, hear. Please say to Joab, 'Come near here, that I may speak with you.'"

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

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."

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 used to say a saying, 'Let them inquire in Abel and in Dan whether

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

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?"

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 Joab answered, "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 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."

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 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.

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 army 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 Adoniram was over the men subject to forced labor; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;

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

25 and Shisha was scribe; and Zadok and Abiathar were cohanim;

Seja pisar; a Sadok i Avijatar sveštenici.

26 and also Ira the Jairite was chief minister to David.

I Ira Jairanin bješe knez Davidu.
