1 A onde se desi nevaljao čovek, po imenu Seva, sin Vihrijev, od Venijamina. On zatrubi u trubu i reče: Mi nemamo deo s Davidom, ni nasledstvo sa sinom Jesejevim; svak u svoj šator, o Izrailju!
1 There happened to be there a wicked fellow, whose name was Sheba the son of Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the trumpet, and said, “We have no portion in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, Israel!”
2 Tako svi Izrailjci odstupiše od Davida i otidoše za Sevom sinom Vihrijevim; ljudi pak od Jude držaše se cara svog i otpratiše ga od Jordana do Jerusalima.
2 So all the men of Israel went up from following David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah joined with their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.
3 A kad car David dođe u kuću svoju u Jerusalim, uze car deset žena inoča, koje beše ostavio da mu čuvaju kuću, i metnu ih u zatvor, gde ih hranjaše ali ne legaše s njima, nego ostaše zatvorene do smrti svoje i življahu kao udovice.
3 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 custody and provided them with sustenance, but didn’t go in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.
4 Potom reče car Amasi: Sazovi mi ljude od Jude do tri dana, i nađi se i ti ovde.
4 Then the king said to Amasa, “Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and be here present.”
5 I otide Amasa da sazove narod Judin; ali se zabavi preko roka koji mu beše određen.
5 So Amasa went to call the men of Judah together, but he stayed longer than the set time which had been appointed to him.
6 A David reče Avisaju: Sad će nam Seva, sin Vihrijev, činiti gore nego Avesalom. Nego uzmi sluge gospodara svog, i goni ga da ne nađe za se koji tvrd grad i ne umakne nam iz očiju.
6 David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Take your lord’s servants and pursue after him, lest he get himself fortified cities, and escape out of our sight.”
7 Tako iziđoše za njim ljudi Joavovi, i Hereteji i Feleteji i svi junaci, iziđoše iz Jerusalima da gone Sevu sina Vihrijevog.
7 Joab’s men went out after him with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the mighty men; and they went out of Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.
8 I kad behu kod velikog kamena u Gavaonu, srete ih Amasa. A Joav beše opasan preko haljine koju imaše na sebi, i ozgo beše pripasao mač uz bedricu u koricama. I kad pođe, mač mu ispade.
8 When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Joab was clothed in his apparel of war that he had put on, and on it was a sash with a sword fastened on his waist in its sheath; and as he went along it fell out.
9 Tada reče Joav Amasi: Jesi li zdravo brate? I dohvati se Joav desnom rukom svojom brade Amasi da ga celuje.
9 Joab said to Amasa, “Is it well with you, my brother?” Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
10 A Amasa ne uzimaše na um mač, koji beše Joavu u ruci; a on ga udari njim pod peto rebro, i prosu mu creva na zemlju, te od jednog udarca umre. Potom Joav i Avisaj, brat njegov, otidoše u poteru za Sevom sinom Vihrijevim.
10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand. So he struck him with it in the body and shed out his bowels to the ground, and didn’t strike him again; and he died. Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.
11 A jedan od momaka Joavovih stade kod njega i reče: Ko ljubi Joava i ko je Davidov, za Joavom!
11 One of Joab’s young men stood by him, and said, “He who favors Joab, and he who is for David, let him follow Joab!”
12 A Amasa se valjaše u svojoj krvi nasred puta. I videći onaj čovek gde se zaustavlja sav narod, odvuče Amasu s puta u polje i baci haljinu na nj, kad vide gde se zaustavlja svaki ko naiđe na nj.
12 Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the highway. When the man saw that all the people stood still, he carried Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a garment over him when he saw that everyone who came by him stood still.
13 I kad bi uklonjen s puta prođoše svi za Joavom da teraju Sevu sina Vihrijevog.
13 When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.
14 I on prođe kroz sva plemena Izrailjeva do Avela i do Vetmahe sa svim Viranima, koji se okupiše te iđahu za njim.
14 He went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, to Beth Maacah, and all the Berites. They were gathered together, and went also after him.
15 I došavši opkoliše ga u Avel-Vet-Masi, i iskopaše opkop oko grada tako da stajahu pred zidom; i sav narod što beše s Joavom navaljivaše da obori zid.
15 They came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maacah, and they cast up a mound against the city, and it stood against the rampart; and all the people who were with Joab battered the wall to throw it down.
16 Tada viknu jedna mudra žena iz grada: Čujte, čujte! Kažite Joavu: Pristupi ovamo da govorim s tobom.
16 Then a wise woman cried out of the city, “Hear, hear! Please say to Joab, ‘Come near here, that I may speak with you.’”
17 A kad on pristupi k njoj, reče žena: Jesi li ti Joav? A on reče: Jesam. A ona reče: Poslušaj reči sluškinje svoje. A on reče: Da čujem.
17 He came near to her; and the woman said, “Are you Joab?” He answered, “I am.” Then she said to him, “Hear the words of your servant.” He answered, “I’m listening.”
18 A ona reče govoreći: Od starine se govori: Valja pitati u Avelu. I tako se izvršavaše.
18 Then she spoke, saying, “They used to say in old times, ‘They shall surely ask counsel at Abel,’ and so they settled a matter.
19 Ja sam jedan od mirnih i vernih gradova u Izrailju, a ti hoćeš da zatreš grad, i to majku u Izrailju. Zašto hoćeš da proždreš nasledstvo Gospodnje?
19 I am among those who are peaceable and faithful in Israel. You seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why will you swallow up Yahweh’s inheritance?”
20 A Joav odgovori i reče: Sačuvaj Bože! Sačuvaj Bože! Neću da proždrem ni da raskopam.
20 Joab answered, “Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
21 Nije tako; nego jedan iz gore Jefremove, po imenu Seva sin Vihrijev, podigao je ruku svoju na cara Davida; dajte samo njega, pa ću otići od grada. A žena reče Joavu: Evo, glava njegova baciće ti se preko zida.
21 The matter is not so. But a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, even against David. Just deliver him, and I will depart from the city.” The woman said to Joab, “Behold, his head will be thrown to you over the wall.”
22 I žena otide k svemu narodu s mudrošću svojom; i odsekoše glavu Sevi, sinu Vihrijevom, i baciše je Joavu. A on zatrubi u trubu, te se raziđoše od grada svak u svoj šator. A Joav se vrati u Jerusalim k caru.
22 Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. They cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. He blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from the city, every man to his tent. Then Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
23 A beše Joav nad svom vojskom Izrailjevom; a Venaja sin Jodajev beše nad Hetejima i Feletejima;
23 Now Joab was over all the army of Israel, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites,
24 a Adoram beše nad dancima; a Josafat sin Ahiludov beše pametar;
24 Adoram was over the men subject to forced labor, Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder,
25 Seja pisar; a Sadok i Avijatar sveštenici.
25 Sheva was scribe, Zadok and Abiathar were priests,
26 I Ira Jairanin beše knez Davidu.
26 and Ira the Jairite was chief minister to David.
