1Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me now choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David tonight.
1A taktiež povedal Achitofel Absalomovi: Dovoľ, aby som vybral dvanásť tisíc mužov a vstanem a budem prenasledovať Dávida tejto noci.
2I will come on him while he is weary and exhausted, and will make him afraid. All the people who are with him shall flee. I will strike the king only;
2A prijdem na neho, kým je ustatý a zomdlených rúk, a predesím ho, a utečie všetok ľud, ktorý je s ním, a zabijem kráľa samotného.
3and I will bring back all the people to you. The man whom you seek is as if all returned. All the people shall be in peace.”
3A tak zase navrátim všetok ľud k tebe, lebo jako čo by sa všetko navrátilo, keď zahynie muž, ktorého hľadáš, a všetok ľud bude na pokoji.
4The saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.
4A ľúbilo sa slovo Absalomovi i všetkým starším Izraelovým.
5Then Absalom said, “Now call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he says.”
5Ale Absalom povedal: Nože zavolaj i Chúšaiho Arechitského, a počujme i to, čo on povie.
6When Hushai had come to Absalom, Absalom spoke to him, saying, “Ahithophel has spoken like this. Shall we do what he says? If not, speak up.”
6A keď vošiel Chúšai k Absalomovi, povedal mu Absalom: Takto a takto hovoril Achitofel. Či máme urobiť podľa jeho slova? Ak nie, hovor ty.
7Hushai said to Absalom, “The counsel that Ahithophel has given this time is not good.”
7A Chúšai povedal Absalomovi: Nie je to dobrá rada, ktorú dal Achitofel tento raz.
8Hushai said moreover, “You know your father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are fierce in their minds, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field. Your father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
8Lebo, tak povedal Chúšai, ty znáš svojho otca i jeho mužov, že sú to hrdinskí mužovia a že sú roztrpčení v duši jako osirelá medvedica na poli, a k tomu je tvoj otec vojenný muž, ktorý nebude nocovať s ľudom.
9Behold, he is now hidden in some pit, or in some other place. It will happen, when some of them have fallen at the first, that whoever hears it will say, ‘There is a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom!’
9Hľa, on je teraz skrytý v niektorej jame alebo na niektorom opevnenom mieste, a keby sa stalo, že by padol niekto z nich hneď na počiatku, a počuje to voľakto, povie: Porážku utrpel ľud, ktorý ide za Absalomom!
10Even he who is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, will utterly melt; for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and those who are with him are valiant men.
10A keby to bol aj chrabrý muž, ktorého srdce by bolo jako srdce ľva, je isté, že zmalátnie a rozplynie sa jako voda, lebo celý Izrael vie, že tvoj otec je udatný, a že chrabrí sú tí, ktorí sú s ním.
11But I counsel that all Israel be gathered together to you, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that you go to battle in your own person.
11Ale radím: Nech sa shromaždí k tebe celý Izrael od Dána až po Bér-šebu, ktorého bude jako piesku, ktorý je pri mori, čo do množstva, a ty pojdeš osobne do boja.
12So shall we come on him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light on him as the dew falls on the ground; and of him and of all the men who are with him we will not leave so much as one.
12A prijdeme proti nemu na niektorom mieste, na ktorom sa najde, a spustíme sa na neho tak, ako padá rosa na zem, a neponecháme z neho a zo všetkých mužov, ktorí sú s ním, ani jedného.
13Moreover, if he be gone into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there isn’t one small stone found there.”
13A keby sa shromaždil do niektorého mesta, donesú, všetok izraelský ľud, povrazy k tomu mestu, a odvlečieme ho až do potoka tak, že sa tam nenajde ani kamienok.
14Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.” For Yahweh had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that Yahweh might bring evil on Absalom.
14A Absalom povedal i všetci mužovia Izraelovi: Lepšia je rada Chúšaiho Arechitského ako rada Achitofelova. Lebo Hospodin prikázal zrušiť dobrú radu Achitofelovu, aby Hospodin uviedol zlé na Absaloma.
15Then Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, “Ahithophel counseled Absalom and the elders of Israel that way; and I have counseled this way.
15Potom povedal Chúšai Cádokovi a Ebiatárovi, kňazom, že tak a tak radil Achitofel Absalomovi a starším Izraelovým, a takto a takto som ja radil.
16Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, ‘Don’t lodge this night at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people who are with him.’”
16A tak teraz pošlite rýchle - povedal - a oznámte Dávidovi a povedzte: Nenocuj tejto noci na rovinách púšte, ale na každý spôsob prejdi na druhú stranu, aby nebol pohltený kráľ i všetok ľud, ktorý je s ním.
17Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying by En Rogel; and a female servant used to go and tell them; and they went and told king David. For they might not be seen to come into the city.
17A Jonatán a Achimaac stáli pri studni Rogel. A išla dievka a oznámila im, a oni odišli a oznámili kráľovi Dávidovi, lebo sa nemohli ukázať, aby boli vošli do mesta.
18But a boy saw them, and told Absalom. Then they both went away quickly, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down there.
18Ale ich videl sluha a oznámil to Absalomovi. A oni dvaja odišli rýchle a vošli do domu nejakého muža v Bachúrime, ktorý mal studňu vo svojom dvore, a spustili sa ta.
19The woman took and spread the covering over the well’s mouth, and spread out bruised grain on it; and nothing was known.
19A žena vzala plachtu a rozprestrela ju na vrch studne a nasypala na ňu krúp, a nezvedelo sa nič.
20Absalom’s servants came to the woman to the house; and they said, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” The woman said to them, “They have gone over the brook of water.” When they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
20Lebo keď prišli služobníci Absalomovi k žene do domu a povedali: Kde je Achimaac a Jonatán? Riekla im žena: Prešli cez potok. A hľadali ich, ale nenašli a navrátili sa do Jeruzalema.
21It happened, after they had departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David; and they said to David, “Arise and pass quickly over the water; for thus has Ahithophel counseled against you.”
21A stalo sa, keď oni odišli, že vyšli hore zo studne a odíduc oznámili kráľovi Dávidovi a riekli Dávidovi: Vstaňte a prejdite rýchle cez vodu, lebo tak a tak radil proti vám Achitofel.
22Then David arose, and all the people who were with him, and they passed over the Jordan. By the morning light there lacked not one of them who had not gone over the Jordan.
22Vtedy vstal Dávid i všetok ľud, ktorý bol s ním, a prešli cez Jordán. Než bolo svetlo ráno, nechýbal ani jeden, ktorý by nebol prešiel cez Jordán.
23When Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey, and arose, and went home, to his city, and set his house in order, and hanged himself; and he died, and was buried in the tomb of his father.
23A Achitofel vidiac, že sa neurobilo podľa jeho rady, osedlal osla, vstal, odišiel do svojho domu, do svojho mesta, a dajúc patričné príkazy usporiadal svoj dom a obesil sa. A tak zomrel a pochovaný bol v hrobe svojho otca.
24Then David came to Mahanaim. Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
24A Dávid prišiel do Machnaima. A Absalom prešiel cez Jordán, on i všetci mužovia Izraelovi s ním.
25Absalom set Amasa over the army instead of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man, whose name was Ithra the Israelite, who went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah, Joab’s mother.
25A Absalom ustanovil Amazu na miesto Joába nad vojskom. A Amaza bol synom muža, ktorému bolo meno Jitra Izraelský, ktorý vošiel k Abigaili, dcére Náchašovej, sestre Ceruje, matky Joábovej.
26Israel and Absalom encamped in the land of Gilead.
26A tak sa položil Izrael a Absalom táborom v zemi Gileáde.
27It happened, when David had come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
27A stalo sa, keď prišiel Dávid do Machnaima, že Šobi, syn Náchašov, z Rabby synov Ammonových, a Machir, syn Ammielov, z Ló-debara a Barzillaj Gileádsky z Rogelíma,
28brought beds, basins, earthen vessels, wheat, barley, meal, parched grain, beans, lentils, roasted grain,
28doniesli posteľné veci, medenice a hlinené nádoby jako aj pšenice, jačmeňa, múky, praženého zrna, bôbu, šošovice a rôznej pražmy,
29honey, butter, sheep, and cheese of the herd, for David, and for the people who were with him, to eat: for they said, “The people are hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.”
29i medu, masla, drobného dobytka a kravských syrcov pre Dávida a pre ľud, ktorý bol s ním, aby jedli. Lebo riekli: Dozaista je ľud hladný, ustatý a smädný na púšti.
