2 Samuel 4
1 When Saul’s son Ishbosheth heard that Abner had been killed at Hebron, [he realized that he might also be killed]. He became discouraged, and all the Israeli people (trembled/became afraid).
A kad èu sin Saulov da je poginuo Avenir u Hevronu, klonuše mu ruke, i sav se Izrailj smete.
2 Ishbosheth had two officers who were leaders of groups that raided other villages. [They were brothers; ] their names were Baanah and Rechab, sons of Rimmon from Beeroth [town] in the tribe of Benjamin. Beeroth is in the area that had [been assigned to] the tribe of Benjamin.
A imaše sin Saulov dvije vojvode nad èetama; jednom bješe ime Vana, a drugom bješe ime Rihav, sinovi Rimona Viroæanina, od sinova Venijaminovijeh; jer se i Virot brojaše Venijaminu;
3 But the people of Beeroth had fled to Gittaim [town], and they still live there.
A Viroæani bijahu pobjegli u Gitajim, gdje ostaše kao došljaci do današnjega dana.
4 Saul’s son Jonathan had a son named Mephibosheth. When Mephibosheth was five years old, Saul and Jonathan died in the battle. When people brought that news from Jezreel, Mephibosheth’s nursemaid picked him up and ran away. She ran very fast, with the result that she dropped him, and his legs became crippled.
I imaše Jonatan sin Saulov sina hroma na nogu, kojemu bijaše pet godina kad doðe glas o smrti Saulovoj i Jonatanovoj iz Jezraela, te ga uze dadilja njegova i pobježe, i kad brzo bježaše, on pade i ohronu; a ime mu bijaše Mefivostej.
5 One day, Rechab and Baanah left [their home] to go to Ishbosheth’s house. They arrived there about noontime, when Ishbosheth was taking his midday nap.
I poðoše sinovi Rimona Viroæanina, Rihav i Vana, i doðoše u podne u kuæu Isvostejevu; a on poèivaše u podne.
6 The woman who was the doorkeeper was sifting wheat. While doing that, she became sleepy, and fell asleep. So Rechab and his brother Baanah were able to creep in quietly.
I uðoše u kuæu kao da uzmu pšenice, i probodoše ga pod peto rebro Rihav i Vana, i pobjegoše.
7 They entered Ishbosheth’s bedroom, where he was sleeping. They killed him [with their swords] and cut off his head. They carried his head and walked all night through the Jordan [River] Valley.
Kad uðoše u kuæu, on ležaše na postelji svojoj u klijeti gdje spavaše, te ga probodoše i ubiše, i otsjekoše mu glavu i uzeše je, pa otidoše putem preko polja cijelu onu noæ.
8 They took the head of Ishbosheth to David at Hebron. They said to him, “Here is the head of Ishbosheth, the son of your enemy Saul, who tried to kill you. Your majesty, today Yahweh has allowed you to get revenge on Saul and his descendants!”
I donesoše glavu Isvostejevu Davidu u Hevron, i rekoše caru: evo glave Isvosteja sina Saulova, neprijatelja tvojega, koji je tražio dušu tvoju; i Gospod osveti danas cara gospodara mojega od Saula i sjemena njegova.
9 But David replied to them, “Yahweh is the one who has rescued me from all my troubles. And just as surely as Yahweh lives, what I am now saying is also true.
Ali David odgovarajuæi Rihavu i Vani bratu njegovu, sinovima Rimona Viroæanina, reèe im: tako da je živ Gospod, koji je izbavio dušu moju iz svake nevolje.
10 When a messenger came to Ziklag and told me ‘Saul is dead!’ and he thought that the news that he was bringing to me was good news, I seized him and [commanded one of my soldiers to] kill him. That was the reward I gave to him for his news!
Kad onoga koji mi javi govoreæi: gle, pogibe Saul, i mišljaše da æe mi javiti dobre glase, uhvatih i ubih u Siklagu, i to mu bi od mene dar za glase njegove,
11 So because you two evil men murdered a man who is (innocent/has done nothing wrong) when he was sleeping on his bed in his own house, I will do something worse to you. I will surely [RHQ] get revenge on you two for murdering [MTY] him, and (wipe you/cause you to disappear) from the earth!”
Akamoli ljude bezbožne, koji ubiše èovjeka prava, u kuæi njegovoj, na postelji njegovoj! neæu li iskati krvi njegove iz vaših ruku, i vas istrijebiti sa zemlje?
12 Then, following David’s orders, his soldiers killed the two men, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hung their bodies (OR, their hands and feet) [on a pole] near the pool at Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it [respectfully] in the tomb of Abner, there at Hebron.
I zapovjedi David momcima svojim, te ih pogubiše, i otsjekoše im ruke i noge, i objesiše kod jezera Hevronskoga; a glavu Isvostejevu uzeše i pogreboše u grobu Avenirovu u Hevronu.
