2 Samuel 4
1 When Saul’s son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
А кад чу син Саулов да је погинуо Авенир у Хеврону, клонуше му руке, и сав се Израиљ смете.
2 Saul’s son had two men who were captains of raiding bands. The name of one was Baanah and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin (for Beeroth also is considered a part of Benjamin;
А имаше син Саулов две војводе над четама; једном беше име Вана, другом беше име Рихав, синови Римона Вироћанина, од синова Венијаминових; јер се и Вирот бројаше Венијамину;
3 and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have lived as foreigners there until today).
А Вироћани беху побегли у Гитајим, где осташе као дошљаци до данашњег дана.
4 Now Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the news came about Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel; and his nurse picked him up and fled. As she hurried to flee, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.
И имаше Јонатан, син Саулов, сина хромог на ногу, коме беше пет година кад дође глас о смрти Сауловој и Јонатановој из Језраела, те га узе дадиља његова и побеже, и кад брзо бежаше, он паде и охрону; а име му беше Мефивостеј.
5 The sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went out and came at about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth as he took his rest at noon.
И пођоше синови Римона Вироћанина, Рихав и Вана, и дођоше у подне у кућу Исвостејеву; а он почиваше у подне.
6 They came there into the middle of the house as though they would have fetched wheat, and they struck him in the body; and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
И уђоше у кућу као да узму пшенице, и прободоше га под пето ребро Рихав и Вана, и побегоше.
7 Now when they came into the house as he lay on his bed in his bedroom, they struck him, killed him, beheaded him, and took his head, and went by the way of the Arabah all night.
Кад уђоше у кућу, он лежаше на постељи својој у клети где спаваше, те га прободоше и убише, и одсекоше му главу и узеше је, па отидоше путем преко поља целу ону ноћ.
8 They brought the head of Ishbosheth to David to Hebron, and said to the king, “Behold, the head of Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life! Yahweh has avenged my lord the king today of Saul and of his offspring.”
И донесоше главу Исвостејеву Давиду у Хеврон, и рекоше цару: Ево главе Исвостеја сина Сауловог, непријатеља твог, који је тражио душу твоју; и Господ освети данас цара, господара мог, од Саула и семена његовог.
9 David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, “As Yahweh lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
Али Давид одговарајући Рихаву и Вану, брату његовом, синовима Римона Вироћанина, рече им: Тако да је жив Господ, који је избавио душу моју из сваке невоље.
10 when someone told me, ‘Behold, Saul is dead,’ thinking that he brought good news, I seized him and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news.
Кад оног који ми јави говорећи: Гле, погибе Саул, и мишљаше да ће ми јавити добре гласе, ухватих и убих у Сиклагу, и то му би од мене дар за гласе његове,
11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house on his bed, should I not now require his blood from your hand, and rid the earth of you?”
А камоли људе безбожне, који убише човека правог, у кући његовој, на постељи његовој! Нећу ли тражити крв његову из ваших руку, и вас истребити са земље?
12 David commanded his young men, and they killed them, cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it in Abner’s grave in Hebron.
И заповеди Давид момцима својим, те их погубише, и одсекоше им руке и ноге, и обесише код језера хевронског; а главу Исвостејеву узеше и погребоше у гробу Авенировом у Хеврону.
