II Samuel 21

Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David enquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites.

U dane Davidove vladaše jednom glad tri godine uzastopce. David se obrati Jahvi, a Jahve mu odgovori: "Na Šaulu i njegovu domu leži krvna krivnja jer je pogubio Gibeonce."

And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah.)

Tada kralj sazva Gibeonce da ih pita. Ti Gibeonci nisu pripadali Izraelcima, nego su bili ostatak Amorejaca, kojima se Izraelci bijahu zakleli zakletvom, ali je Šaul tražio da ih uništi u svojoj revnosti za Izraelce i Judejce.

Wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD?

David, dakle, upita Gibeonce: "Što da vam učinim i čime da vam dadem zadovoljštinu da biste blagoslovili baštinu Jahvinu?"

And the Gibeonites said unto him, We will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for you.

Gibeonci odgovoriše: "Ne tražimo mi ni srebra ni zlata od Šaula i njegova doma, niti nam je stalo da se pogubi koji čovjek u Izraelu." David će im nato: "Što reknete učinit ću za vas."

And they answered the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the coasts of Israel,

A oni odgovoriše kralju: "Čovjek koji nas je zatirao i koji je smišljao da nas uništi, da nas ne bude nigdje u svemu izraelskom području,

Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, whom the LORD did choose. And the king said, I will give them.

od njegovih potomaka neka nam se preda sedam ljudi da ih objesimo pred Jahvom u Gibeonu na gori Jahvinoj." Kralj odvrati: "Dat ću vam ih."

But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD'S oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.

Kralj poštedje Meribaala, sina Šaulova sina Jonatana, zbog zakletve pred Jahvom koja ih je vezala, Davida i Jonatana, sina Šaulova.

But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:

Tako kralj uze oba sina Rispe, Ajine kćeri, koje je rodila Šaulu, Armonija i Meribaala, i svih pet sinova Merabe, Šaulove kćeri, koje je rodila Adrielu, sinu Barzilajevu, iz Mehole.

And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the hill before the LORD: and they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest.

Njih dade u ruke Gibeoncima, a oni ih objesiše na gori pred Jahvom. Tako sva sedmorica poginuše zajedno, pogubljeni prvih dana žetve, na početku ječmene žetve.

And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.

Rispa, Ajina kći, uze kostrijet i prostrije je za sebe na stijeni od početka ječmene žetve sve dok nije kiša s neba pala na mrtva tijela, i tako nije dala nebeskim pticama da se spuštaju na njih danju ni poljskim zvijerima noću.

And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.

Kad su Davidu javili što je učinila Ajina kći Rispa, Šaulova inoča,

And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh–gilead, which had stolen them from the street of Beth–shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa:

ode David i uze Šaulove kosti i kosti njegova sina Jonatana od stanovnika Jabeša Gileadskog, koji ih bijahu potajno odnijeli s trga u Bet Šanu, gdje su ih objesili Filistejci u onaj dan kad su Filistejci porazili Šaula na Gilboi.

And he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.

David prenese odande Šaulove kosti i kosti njegova sina Jonatana pa ih združi s kostima pogubljenih.

And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son buried they in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was intreated for the land.

I ukopaše Šaulove kosti i kosti njegova sina Jonatana s kostima pogubljenih u zemlji Benjaminovoj, u Seli, u grobu Šaulova oca Kiša. Pošto izvršiše sve što je kralj zapovjedio, Bog se smilova zemlji.

Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint.

Jednom opet nasta rat između Filistejaca i Izraelaca. David ode u boj sa svojim ljudima te su se borili s Filistejcima tako da se David umorio.

And Ishbi–benob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David.

Išibenob, jedan od Rafinih potomaka, čije je koplje bilo teško tri stotine mjedenih šekela i koji o pripasu imaše nov mač, hvastao se tada da će ubiti Davida.

But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the light of Israel.

Ali Davidu priskoči u pomoć Sarvijin sin Abišaj; udari on Filistejca te ga ubi. Tada se Davidovi ljudi zakleše rekavši Davidu: "Nećeš više ići s nama u boj, da ne ugasiš svjetiljke Izraelove!"

And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant.

Poslije toga opet izbi rat s Filistejcima u Gobu; tada je Hušanin Sibkaj pogubio Sipaja, jednoga od Rafinih potomaka.

And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaare–oregim, a Beth–lehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.

Uz to nasta rat s Filistejcima u Gobu; tada je Jairov sin Elhanan iz Betlehema pogubio Golijata Gitejca, koji je imao kopljaču kao tkalačko vratilo.

And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.

Potom opet izbi rat u Gatu, gdje je bio neki čovjek visoka rasta: imaše taj na svakoj ruci i nozi po šest prstiju, dakle dvadeset i četiri; i on bijaše potomak Rafin.

And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea the brother of David slew him.

Kad je počeo ružiti Izraela, ubi ga Jonatan, sin Davidova brata Šimeja.

These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

Ta četvorica bijahu potomci istoga Rafe iz Gata, a poginuše od ruke Davidove i od ruku njegovih slugu.
