1And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.
1A nahodil sa tam nejaký muž beliála, nešľachetník, ktorému bolo meno Šeba, syn Bichriho, muž Jeminiho. Ten zatrúbil na trúbu a povedal: Nemáme podielu na Dávidovi ani nemáme dedičstva v synovi Izaiho! Každý ku svojim stánom, Izraelu!
2So every man of Israel went up from after David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
2A tak odišli hore všetci mužovia Izraelovi odstúpiac od Dávida a išli za Šebom, synom Bichriho. Ale mužovia Júdovi pridŕžali sa svojho kráľa, od Jordána až po Jeruzalem.
3And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood.
3A tak prišiel Dávid do svojho domu, do Jeruzalema. A kráľ vezmúc desať žien, ženín, ktoré bol zanechal, aby dozeraly na dom, dal ich do domu stráže a zaopatroval ich potravou, ale nevošiel k nim. A boly zavrené až do dňa svojej smrti, vdovstvo za života muža.
4Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.
4Potom riekol kráľ Amazovi: Svolaj mi mužov Júdových vo troch dňoch a ty sa tiež dostanov tu.
5So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
5A Amaza odišiel, aby svolal Júdu, ale sa oneskoril vyše času, ktorý mu uložil.
6And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou thy lord's servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced cities, and escape us.
6Vtedy riekol Dávid Abišajovi: Teraz nám horšie urobí Šeba, syn Bichriho, než Absalom. Ty pojmi služobníkov svojho pána a stíhaj ho, aby si nenašiel ohradených miest a nezmizol nám z oka.
7And there went out after him Joab's men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
7A tak vyšli za ním mužovia Joábovi i Keréťania i Peléťania i všetci udatní mužovia a vyšli z Jeruzalema, aby stíhali Šebu, syna Bichriho.
8When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab's garment that he had put on was girded unto him, and upon it a girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.
8A keď už boli pri tom veľkom kameni, ktorý je v Gibeone, prichádzal Amaza pred nimi. A Joáb mal opásaný svoj plášť svojho rúcha a na ňom opasok meča, pripätý na svojich bedrách v jeho pošve. A keď vyšiel Joáb oproti Amazovi, meč vypadol, a Joáb ho vzal do ruky.
9And Joab said to Amasa, Art thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.
9A Joáb povedal Amazovi: Či sa máš dobre, môj brat? A Joáb chytil pravou rukou Amazu za bradu, aby ho bozkal.
10But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab's hand: so he smote him therewith in the fifth rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
10Ale Amaza sa nechránil, aby bol pozoroval na meč, ktorý bol v ruke Joábovej. A tak mu ho vrazil do brucha a vykydol jeho vnútornosti na zem, ani mu nedal druhej rany, a zomrel. A Joáb a Abišaj, jeho brat, stíhali potom Šebu, syna Bichriho.
11And one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, He that favoreth Joab, and he that is for David, let him go after Joab.
11A ktorýsi muž zo služobníkov Joábových stál nad ním a hovoril: Kto má rád Joába, a kto je za Dávida, za Joábom!
12And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.
12A Amaza, pováľaný v krvi ležal prostred hradskej. A keď videl muž, že sa zastavuje všetok ľud, odvliekol Amazu s hradskej na pole a hodil na neho rúcho vidiac, že každý, kto prišiel na neho, zastavil sa.
13When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
13A keď bol odprataný s cesty, prešiel ta každý za Joábom stíhať Šebu, syna Bichriho.
14And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto Abel, and to Bethmaachah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and went also after him.
14A prešiel všetky pokolenia Izraelove, po Ábel a po Bét-maachu, i celé Bérim, a shromaždili sa a prišli tiež za ním.
15And they came and besieged him in Abel of Bethmaachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.
15A tedy prijdúc obľahli ho v Ábele Bét-maachy a nasypali proti mestu val, takže stál pri vonkajšej hradbe, a všetok ľud, ktorý bol s Joábom, hubil, aby rozboril a svalil múr.
16Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.
16Tu zavolala nejaká múdra žena z mesta: Počujte, počujte! Povedzte, prosím, Joábovi: Priblíž sa sem, aby som prehovorila s tebou!
17And when he was come near unto her, the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he answered, I am he. Then she said unto him, Hear the words of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.
17A keď sa priblížil k nej, povedala žena: Či si ty Joáb? A odpovedal: Som. A ona mu riekla: Počuj slová svojej služobnice! A povedal: Čujem.
18Then she spake, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel: and so they ended the matter.
18A ona mu povedala nasledovne: Prv hovorievali príslovne, že vraj driev sa istotne opýtajú v Ábele, a tak vykonajú!
19I am one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?
19Ja som z pokojných a verných Izraelových! A ty hľadáš, ako usmrtiť mesto a mater v Izraelovi! Prečo chceš pohltiť dedičstvo Hospodinovo?
20And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
20Na to odpovedal Joáb a riekol: To nech je preč, nech je preč odo mňa! Nepohltím ani nezahubím!
21The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.
21Nie tak je vec! Ale nejaký muž s vrchu Efraimovho, menom Šeba, syn Bichriho, pozdvihol svoju ruku na kráľa, na Dávida, vydajte toho samotného, a odídem od mesta! A žena riekla Joábovi: Hľa, jeho hlava ti bude vyhodená cez múr.
22Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.
22Potom prišla žena ku všetkému ľudu vo svojej múdrosti, a zoťali hlavu Šebu, syna Bichriho, a vyhodili k Joábovi. Vtedy zatrúbil na trúbu, a rozišli sa od mesta každý do svojich stánov. A Joáb sa navrátil do Jeruzalema ku kráľovi.
23Now Joab was over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites:
23A Joáb bol nad všetkým vojskom Izraelovým, a Benaiáš, syn Jehojadov, nad Keréťanmi a nad Peléťanmi.
24And Adoram was over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:
24Adorám bol nad daňou, a Jozafat, syn Achilúdov, bol kancelárom.
25And Sheva was scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:
25Ševa bol pisárom, a Cádok a Ebiatár boli kňazmi.
26And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David.
26Aj Ira Jairský bol kňazom Dávidovým.
