2 Samuel 3

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Then a long struggle occurred between the house of Saul and the house of David, with David prospering and growing ever stronger, but the house of Saul decreasing daily.	1 Rat između Šaulove kuće i Davidove kuće potrajao je još dugo vremena, ali je David sve više jačao, a Šaulova kuća postajala sve slabija.
2 And sons were born to David in Hebron. And his firstborn son was Amnon, from Ahinoam the Jezreelite.	2 Davidu se rodiše sinovi u Hebronu. Prvenac mu je bio Amnon, od Ahinoame Jizreelke;
3 And after him, there was Chileab, from Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel. Then the third was Absalom, the son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, the king of Geshur.	3 drugi mu je bio Kileab, od Abigajile, žene Nabalove iz Karmela; treći Abšalom, sin Maake, kćeri gešurskoga kralja Tolmaja;
4 Then the fourth was Adonijah, the son of Haggith. And the fifth was Shephatiah, the son of Abital.	4 četvrti Adonija, sin Hagitin; peti Šefatja, sin Abitalin;
5 Also, the sixth was Ithream, from Eglah, the wife of David. These were born to David at Hebron.	5 šesti Jitream, od Egle, Davidove žene. Ti se Davidu rodiše u Hebronu.
6 Then, while there was a battle between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner, the son of Ner, was reigning over the house of Saul.	6 Dok je trajao rat između Šaulove kuće i Davidove kuće, Abner je malo-pomalo prisvajao svu vlast u Šaulovoj kući.
7 Now Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. And Ishbosheth said to Abner,	7 A u kući bijaše Šaulova inoča po imenu Rispa, kći Ajina: nju Abner uze sebi. A Išbaal upita Abnera: »Zašto si se približio inoči moga oca?«
8 “Why did you enter to the concubine of my father?” But he, being exceedingly angry at the words of Ishbosheth, said: “Am I the head of a dog against Judah this day? I have shown mercy to the house of Saul, your father, and to his brothers and friends. And I have not delivered you into the hands of David. And yet today you have sought me, so that you might rebuke me over a woman?	8 Na te Išbaalove riječi Abner se razgnjevi i reče: »Zar sam ja pasja glava u Judi? Do danas sam samo dobro činio domu tvoga oca Šaula, njegovoj braći i njegovim prijateljima; nisam dopustio da padneš u Davidove ruke, a ti me danas prekoravaš zbog obične žene!
9 May God do these things to Abner, and may he add these other things, if, in the same way that the Lord swore to David, I do not do so with him:	9 Neka Abneru Bog učini ovo zlo i neka mu doda drugo ako ne izvršim kako se Jahve zakleo Davidu:
10 that the kingdom be transferred from the house of Saul, and that the throne of David be elevated over Israel and over Judah, from Dan to Beersheba.”	10 da će oduzeti kraljevstvo Šaulovoj kući i da će utvrditi Davidovo prijestolje nad Izraelom i nad Judom od Dana pa do Beer Šebe!«
11 And he was not able to respond anything to him, because he was in fear of him.	11 Išbaal se ne usudi odgovoriti ni riječi Abneru jer ga se bojaše.
12 Therefore, Abner sent messengers to David for himself, saying, “Whose is the land?” and so that they would say, “Make a friendship with me, and my hand will be with you, and I will lead back all of Israel to you.”	12 Nato Abner posla glasnike k Davidu i poruči mu: »Čija je zemlja?« Htio je reći: »Učini savez sa mnom i moja će ti ruka pomoći da okupiš oko sebe svega Izraela.«
13 And he said: “It is best. I will make a friendship with you. But one thing I ask of you, saying: You shall not see my face before you bring Michal, the daughter of Saul. And in this way, you shall come, and see me.”	13 David odgovori Abneru: »Dobro! Učinit ću savez s tobom! Ali samo jedno tražim od tebe: ne smiješ mi doći na oči ako ne dovedeš sa sobom Mikalu, Šaulovu kćer, kad dođeš da vidiš moje lice.«
14 Then David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, saying, “Restore my wife Michal, whom I espoused to myself for one hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”	14 Ujedno posla David glasnike i k Išbaalu, Šaulovu sinu, s porukom: »Vrati mi moju ženu Mikalu, koju sam stekao stotinom filistejskih obrezaka.«
15 Therefore, Ishbosheth sent and took her from her husband Paltiel, the son of Laish.	15 Išbaal posla po nju i uze je od njezina muža Paltiela, Lajiševa sina.
16 And her husband was following her, weeping, as far as Bahurim. And Abner said to him, “Go and return.” And he returned.	16 A njezin muž pođe s njom i pratio ju je plačući sve do Bahurima. Tada mu Abner reče: »Hajde, vrati se sada kući!« I on se vrati.
17 Likewise, Abner sent word to the elders of Israel, saying: “As much yesterday as the day before, you were seeking David, so that he might reign over you.	17 Abner je već bio razgovarao s Izraelovim starješinama i rekao im: »Već odavna želite Davida za svoga kralja.
18 Therefore, accomplish it now. For the Lord has spoken to David, saying: ‘By the hand of my servant David, I will save my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and of all their enemies.’ ”	18 Učinite to sada, jer je Jahve rekao o Davidu ovo: ‘Rukom svoga sluge Davida izbavit ću svoj narod Izraela iz ruke filistejske i iz ruku svih njegovih neprijatelja.’«
19 Then Abner also spoke to Benjamin. And he went away, so that he might speak to David in Hebron all that would be pleasing to Israel and to all of Benjamin.	19 Tako je Abner govorio i Benjaminovim sinovima, a onda je otišao u Hebron da javi Davidu sve što se svidjelo Izraelu i domu Benjaminovu.
20 And he went to David in Hebron with twenty men. And David made a feast for Abner, and for his men who had arrived with him.	20 Kad je Abner došao k Davidu u Hebron, i s njim dvadeset ljudi, David priredi gozbu Abneru i ljudima koji bijahu s njim.
21 And Abner said to David, “I will rise up, so that I may gather all of Israel to you, my lord the king, and so that I may enter into a pact with you, and so that you may reign over all, just as your soul desires.” Then, when David had led Abner away, and he had departed in peace,	21 Tada Abner reče Davidu: »Hajdemo! Ja ću skupiti svega Izraela oko gospodara moga kralja: oni će sklopiti s tobom savez i ti ćeš kraljevati nad svim što budeš želio.« David otpusti Abnera, koji ode u miru.
22 immediately the servants of David and of Joab arrived, after having slain robbers, with exceedingly great spoils. But Abner was not with David in Hebron. For by then he had sent him away, and he had set out in peace.	22 I gle, Davidovi se ljudi s Joabom upravo vraćali s četovanja, noseći sa sobom bogat plijen, a Abner nije više bio kod Davida u Hebronu, jer ga David bijaše otpustio te je on otišao u miru.
23 And Joab, and the entire army that was with him, had arrived afterward. And so, it was reported to Joab, explaining that Abner, the son of Ner, went to the king, and he dismissed him, and he went away in peace.	23 Kad stiže Joab i sva vojska što je išla s njim, javiše Joabu da je Abner, Nerov sin, bio došao kralju i da ga je kralj otpustio da ode u miru.
24 And Joab entered to the king, and he said: “What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you. Why did you dismiss him, so that he has gone and departed?	24 Tada Joab dođe kralju i reče mu: »Što si učinio? Abner je došao k tebi, zašto si ga otpustio da ode u miru?
25 Do you not know, about Abner, the son of Ner, that he came to you for this, so that he might deceive you, and might know of your departure and your return, and so that he might know all that you do?”	25 Zar ne znaš Abnera, Nerova sina? Došao je da te prevari, da dozna tvoje korake, da dozna sve što činiš!«
26 And so, Joab, going out from David, sent messengers after Abner, and he brought him back from the cistern of Sirah, without David knowing.	26 Potom izađe Joab od Davida i posla glasnike za Abnerom, koji ga vratiše, od studenca Sire, a David nije znao ništa o tome.
27 And when Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab took him alone to the middle of the gate, so that he might speak to him, but with deceit. And there, he stabbed him in the groin, and he died, in revenge for the blood of Asahel, his brother.	27 Kad se Abner vratio u Hebron, odvede ga Joab u stranu iza vrata, kao da želi s njim nesmetano govoriti, i ondje ga smrtno rani u slabine da se osveti za krv svoga brata Asahela.
28 And when David had heard of it, now that the matter was done, he said: “I and my kingdom are clean before the Lord, even forever, of the blood of Abner, the son of Ner.	28 Kad je David to poslije čuo, reče: »Ja i moje kraljevstvo nevini smo pred Jahvom dovijeka za krv Abnera, sina Nerova.
29 And may it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon the entire house of his father. And may there not fail to be, in the house of Joab, one who suffers from a flow of seed, or one who is leprous, or one who is effeminate, or one who falls by the sword, or one who is in need of bread.”	29 Neka padne na Joabovu glavu i na sav njegov očinski dom! Nikad ne ponestalo u Joabovu domu ljudi bolesnih od gnojenja ili od gube, ljudi koji se laćaju vretena ili padaju od mača, ljudi koji nemaju kruha!« –
30 And so, Joab and his brother Abishai killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon, during the battle.	30 Joab i njegov brat Abišaj ubili su Abnera jer je on pogubio njihova brata Asahela u boju kod Gibeona. –
31 Then David said to Joab, and to all the people who were with him, “Tear your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before the funeral procession of Abner.” Moreover, king David himself was following the casket.	31 Nato David reče Joabu i svoj vojsci koja je bila s njim: »Razderite svoje haljine, obucite kostrijet i naričite za Abnerom!« I kralj David pođe za nosilima.
32 And when they had buried Abner in Hebron, king David lifted up his voice, and he wept over the burial mound of Abner. And all the people also wept.	32 Kad su ukopali Abnera u Hebronu, udari kralj u glasan plač na grobu Abnerovu, a plakao je i sav narod.
33 And the king, mourning and lamenting Abner, said: “By no means has Abner died the way that cowards usually die.	33 Tada kralj ispjeva ovu tužaljku za Abnerom: »Zar morade umrijeti Abner kako umire luda?
34 Your hands are not bound, and your feet are not weighed down with fetters. But just as men often fall before the sons of iniquity, so you have fallen.” And while repeating this, all the people wept over him.	34 Ruke tvoje ne bijahu vezane, noge tvoje ne bijahu okovane. Pao si kao što se pada od zlikovaca!« Tada sav narod još ljuće zaplaka za njim.
35 And when the entire multitude had arrived to take food with David, while it was still broad daylight, David swore, saying, “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things, if I taste bread or anything else before the sun sets.”	35 Nato pristupi sav narod nutkajući Davida da jede dok je još dana, ali se David zakle ovako: »Neka mi Bog učini ovo zlo i neka mi doda drugo zlo ako okusim kruha ili što drugo prije zalaska sunca!«
36 And all the people heard it, and everything that the king did in the sight of the entire people was pleasing to them.	36 Sav je narod to čuo, i bilo mu je po volji, kao što je narod i sve drugo odobravao što god je kralj činio.
37 And every common person, and all of Israel, realized on that day that the killing of Abner, the son of Ner, had not been done by the king.	37 Toga dana sav narod i sav Izrael spozna da kralj nije kriv u umorstvu Abnera, sina Nerova.
38 The king also said to his servants: “Could you be ignorant that a leader and a very great man has fallen today in Israel?	38 Nato kralj reče svojim dvoranima: »Ne znate li da je danas pao knez i velik čovjek u Izraelu?
39 But I am still tender, and yet anointed king. And these men of the sons of Zeruiah are too harsh for me. May the Lord repay whoever does evil in accord with his malice.”	39 Ali ja sam sada još slab, iako sam pomazani kralj, a ovi ljudi, Sarvijini sinovi, jači su od mene. Neka Jahve plati zločincu po njegovoj zloći!«
