< 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).
Ko je Savlov sin slišal, da je bil Abnêr mrtev v Hebrónu, so bile njegove roke slabotne in vsi Izraelci so bili zaskrbljeni.
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.
Savlov sin je imel dva moža, ki sta bila poveljnika čet. Ime enega je bilo Baaná in ime drugega Reháb, sinova Rimóna, Beeróčana, izmed Benjaminovih otrok (kajti tudi Beerót je bil štet k Benjaminu
3 But the people of Beeroth had fled to Gittaim [town], and they still live there.
in Beeróčani so pobegnili v Gitájim in bili tam začasni prebivalci do tega dne.)
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.
Savlov sin Jonatan je imel sina, ki je bil hrom od svojih stopal. Pet let je bil star, ko so prišle iz Jezreéla novice o Savlu in Jonatanu in njegova dojilja ga je vzela in pobegnila. Pripetilo pa se je, medtem ko je hitela, da pobegne, da je padel in postal hrom. Njegovo ime je bilo Mefibóšet.
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.
Sinova Beeróčana Rimóna, Reháb in Baaná sta odšla in prišla okoli dnevne vročine v hišo Iš Bošeta, ki je opoldan ležal na postelji.
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.
Prišla sta tja, v sredo hiše, kakor bi hotela vzeti pšenico. Udarila sta ga pod peto rebro in Reháb in njegov brat Baaná sta pobegnila.
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.
Kajti ko sta prišla v hišo, je ležal na svoji postelji, v svoji spalnici in udarila sta ga in ga usmrtila in obglavila in vzela njegovo glavo in vso noč bežala čez ravnino.
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!”
Glavo Iš Bošeta sta prinesla k Davidu v Hebrón in rekla kralju: »Glej, glava Savlovega sina Iš Bošeta, tvojega sovražnika, ki je iskal tvoje življenje in Gospod je ta dan maščeval mojega gospoda kralja nad Savlom in njegovim semenom.«
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.
David pa je odgovoril Rehábu in njegovemu bratu Baanáju, sinovoma Beeróčana Rimóna ter jima rekel: » Kakor živi Gospod, ki je mojo dušo odkupil od vseh nasprotnikov,
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!
ko mi je nekdo povedal, rekoč: ›Glej, Savel je mrtev, ‹ misleč, da je prinesel dobre novice, sem ga prijel in ga usmrtil v Ciklágu. Mislil je, da mu bom dal nagrado za njegove novice.
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!”
Koliko mnogo bolj, ko sta zlobneža umorila pravično osebo v njegovi lastni hiši, na njegovi postelji? Mar ne bom torej sedaj zahteval njegovo kri iz vajine roke in vaju vzel proč z 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.
David je svojim mladeničem zapovedal in so ju ubili ter odsekali njuni roki in njuna stopala in ju obesili gor nad ribnik v Hebrónu. Toda vzeli so glavo Iš Bošeta in jo pokopali v Abnêrjevem mavzoleju v Hebrónu.
