2. kniha Samuelova

1 (CPDV) And so David, having reviewed his people, appointed over them tribunes and centurions.
1 (ROH) A Dávid spočítal ľud, ktorý bol s ním, a ustanovil nad nimi tisícnikov a stotníkov.

2 (CPDV) And he placed a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, the brother of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Ittai, who was from Gath. And the king said to the people, “I, too, will go forth with you.”
2 (ROH) A Dávid oddal tretinu ľudu do ruky Joábovej, tretinu do ruky Abišaja, syna Ceruje, brata Joábovho a tretinu do ruky Ittaja Gitťanského. A kráľ povedal ľudu: I ja sám pojdem s vami von do boja.

3 (CPDV) And the people responded: “You shall not go out. For if we flee, there will not be great concern in them for us. Or if one half part of us will fall, they will not care much. For you are considered as one for ten thousand. Therefore, it is better that you should be in the city to strengthen us.”
3 (ROH) Ale ľud povedal: Nepojdeš! Lebo ak by sme museli utekať, nebudú na nás dbať; ani keby nás zomrela polovica, nebudú na nás veľmi dbať; lebo teraz si ty jako nás desať tisíc. A tak teraz bude dobre, keď nám budeš z mesta na pomoc.

4 (CPDV) And the king said to them, “I will do whatever seems good to you.” Therefore, the king stood beside the gate. And the people went out by their troops, by hundreds and by thousands.
4 (ROH) Na to im riekol kráľ: Učiním to, čo sa vám vidí za dobré. Preto sa postavil kráľ ku bráne, a všetok ľud vyšiel po stách a po tisícoch.

5 (CPDV) And the king ordered Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, “Preserve for me the boy Absalom.” And all the people heard the king commanding all the leaders on behalf of Absalom.
5 (ROH) A kráľ prikázal Joábovi, Abišajovi a Ittajovi a riekol: Šetrne mi zachádzajte so synom Absalomom. A počul všetok ľud, keď prikazoval kráľ všetkým veliteľom o Absalomovi.

6 (CPDV) And so, the people departed into the field against Israel. And the battle took place in the forest of Ephraim.
6 (ROH) A tak vyšiel ľud do poľa proti Izraelovi. A bitka bola v lese Efraimovom.

7 (CPDV) And the people of Israel were cut down in that place by the army of David. And a great slaughter occurred on that day: twenty thousand men.
7 (ROH) A bol tam porazený ľud Izraelov od služobníkov Dávidových. A bola to tam veľká porážka toho dňa. Padlo ich dvadsať tisíc.

8 (CPDV) Now the battle in that place was dispersed over the face of all the land. And there were many more of the people whom the forest had consumed, than the sword had devoured, on that day.
8 (ROH) Lebo sa tam rozšírila bitka po celej tej krajine, a viacerých z ľudu strávil les, ako bolo tých, ktorých strávil meč toho dňa.

9 (CPDV) Then it happened that Absalom, riding on a mule, met the servants of David. And when the mule had entered under a thick and large oak tree, his head became trapped in the oak. And while he was suspended between heaven and earth, the mule on which he had been sitting continued on. 178
9 (ROH) A prihodilo sa, že sa stretol Absalom so služobníkmi Dávidovými. A Absalom jazdil na mulici, a keď podišla mulica pod husté konáre toho veľkého duba, zachytila sa jeho hlava na dube, takže visel medzi nebom a medzi zemou, a mulica, ktorá bola pod ním, bežala ďalej.

10 (CPDV) Then a certain one saw this and reported it to Joab, saying, “I saw Absalom hanging from an oak.”
10 (ROH) Keď to videl ktorýsi muž, oznámil to Joábovi a riekol: Hľa, videl som Absaloma visieť na dube.

11 (CPDV) And Joab said to the man who had reported it to him, “If you saw him, why did you not stab him to the ground, and I would have given you ten shekels of silver and a belt?”
11 (ROH) A Joáb povedal mužovi, ktorý mu to oznámil: Hľa, videl si a prečo si ho tam nesrazil na zem? A na mne by bolo bývalo, aby som ti dal desať šeklov striebra a jeden pás.

12 (CPDV) And he said to Joab: “Even if you weighed out to my hands one thousand silver coins, I would never lay my hands on the son of the king. For in our hearing the king ordered you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, ‘Keep for me the boy Absalom.’
12 (ROH) Ale človek odpovedal Joábovi: A čo by som ja hneď tu mal čítať tisíc striebra na svojich rukách, nevystrel by som svojej ruky na syna kráľovho, lebo veď sme počuli na vlastné uši, že ti prikázal kráľ aj Abišajovi aj Ittajovi povediac: Majte mi všetci pozor na syna, na Absaloma!

13 (CPDV) Then too, if I had acted with such audacity, against my own life, this would never have been able to be hidden from the king. And would you then have stood by my side?”
13 (ROH) Alebo keby som vykonal niečo proti jeho duši klamstvom - a niktorá vec sa nezatají pred kráľom -, ty by si sa postavil stranou.

14 (CPDV) And Joab said, “It will not be as you wish. Instead, I will be assailing him in your sight.” Then he took three lances in his hand, and he fixed them in the heart of Absalom. And while he was still clinging to life upon the oak,
14 (ROH) Na to povedal Joáb: Nebudem sa takto s tebou baviť! A vezmúc tri kopije do svojej ruky vrazil ich do srdca Absalomovho, ktorý ešte žil prostred duba.

15 (CPDV) ten young men, armor bearers of Joab, ran up, and striking him, they killed him.
15 (ROH) A obstúpili desiati mládenci, ktorí nosili zbraň Joábovu, a bili Absaloma, a tak ho zabili.

16 (CPDV) Then Joab sounded the trumpet, and he held back the people, lest they pursue Israel in their flight, for he was willing to spare the multitude.
16 (ROH) Potom hneď zatrúbil Joáb na trúbu, a ľud sa vrátil od honenia Izraela, lebo Joáb šetril ľud.

17 (CPDV) And they took Absalom, and they threw him into a great pit in the forest. And they piled an exceedingly great heap of stones over him. But all of Israel fled to their own tents.
17 (ROH) A vezmúc Absaloma hodili ho v lese do tej veľkej jamy a nasnášali na neho veľmi veľkú hromadu kamenia. A celý Izrael utekal, každý do svojho stánu.

18 (CPDV) Now Absalom had raised up for himself, when he was still alive, a monument, which is in the Valley of the King. For he said, “I have no son, and so this shall be the memorial to my name.” And he called the monument by his own name. And it is called the Hand of Absalom, even to this day.
18 (ROH) A Absalom bol vzal a postavil si za svojho života pamätný stĺp, ktorý je v doline kráľovej, lebo povedal: Nemám syna, aby zachoval pamäť môjho mena. Preto nazval stĺp po svojom mene, a tak sa volá čiastkou Absalomovou až do tohoto dňa.

19 (CPDV) Then Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said, “I will run and report to the king that the Lord has accomplished judgment for him, from the hand of his enemies.”
19 (ROH) A Achimaac, syn Cádokov, povedal: Dovoľ, prosím, žeby som bežal a zvestoval kráľovi radostnú zvesť, že ho vysúdil Hospodin z ruky jeho nepriateľov.

20 (CPDV) And Joab said to him: “You shall not be the messenger on this day. Instead, you shall report on another day. I am not willing for you to give the report today, because the son of the king is dead.”
20 (ROH) Ale Joáb mu povedal: Nebol by si dnes poslom, ktorý zvestuje radostnú zvesť; budeš zvestovať v iný deň, ale dnes nebudeš zvestovať, pretože zomrel syn kráľov.

21 (CPDV) Then Joab said to Hushai, “Go, and report to the king what you have seen.” Hushai reverenced Joab, and he ran.
21 (ROH) Potom povedal Joáb Kúšimu: Idi, oznám kráľovi, čo si videl. A Kúši sa poklonil Joábovi a bežal.

22 (CPDV) And Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said to Joab again, “What prevents me from running after Hushai also?” And Joab said to him: “Why do you want to run, my son? You would not be the bearer of good news.”
22 (ROH) A Achimaac, syn Cádokov, povedal ešte raz Joábovi: A nech už je, čo chce, dovoľ, prosím, nech i ja bežím za Kúšim! A Joáb povedal: Načo by si ty bežal, môj synu, keď nemáš dobrej zvesti, ktorá by našla odmenu?

23 (CPDV) And he responded, “But what if I do run?” And he said to him, “Run.” Then Ahimaaz, running along a shorter way, passed Hushai.
23 (ROH) A nech už je, čo chce, povedal, pobežím. A riekol mu: Tedy bež: A Achimaac bežal cestou roviny a predbehol Kúšiho.

24 (CPDV) Now David was sitting between the two gates. Truly, the watchman, who was at the summit of the gate upon the wall, lifting up his eyes, saw a man running alone.
24 (ROH) A Dávid sedel medzi dvoma bránami. A pozorujúci strážca odišiel na postrešie brány, na múr, a keď pozdvihnul svoje oči, videl, že hľa, nejaký muž beží samotný.

25 (CPDV) And crying out, he told the king. And the king said, “If he is alone, there is good news in his mouth.” But as he was advancing and drawing nearer,
25 (ROH) Vtedy zavolal pozorujúci strážca a oznámil to kráľovi. A kráľ povedal: Ak je sám, vtedy je dobrá zvesť v jeho ústach. A človek prichádzal bližšie a bližšie.

26 (CPDV) the watchman saw another man running. And so, crying out from the height, he said: “Another man has appeared, running alone.” And the king said, “This one also is a good messenger.”
26 (ROH) Potom videl pozorujúci strážca iného muža bežať. A pozorujúci strážca zavolal na bránneho a riekol: Hľa, zase beží nejaký muž samotný! A kráľ povedal: I ten nesie dobrú zvesť.

27 (CPDV) Then the watchman said, “The running of the closest one seems like the running of Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok.” And the king said, “He is a good man, and he arrives bearing good news.”
27 (ROH) A pozorujúci strážca povedal: Vidím beh prvého jako beh Achimaaca, syna Cádokovho. Na to povedal kráľ: To je dobrý človek a ide s dobrou zvesťou.

28 (CPDV) Then, Ahimaaz, crying out, said to the king, “Be well, O king.” And reverencing the king prone on the ground before him, he said, “Blessed be the Lord your God, who has enclosed the men who had lifted up their hands against my lord the king.”
28 (ROH) Potom zavolal Achimaac a riekol kráľovi: Pokoj ti! A poklonil sa kráľovi svojou tvárou k zemi a riekol: Požehnaný Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, ktorý zavrel do tvojej ruky mužov, ktorí pozdvihli svoju ruku na môjho pána kráľa!

29 (CPDV) And the king said, “Is there peace for the boy Absalom?” And Ahimaaz said: “I saw a great tumult, O king, when your servant Joab sent me, your servant. I know nothing else.”
29 (ROH) A kráľ povedal: Či pokoj môjmu synovi Absalomovi? A Achimaac odpovedal: Videl som veľký shon, keď posielal Joáb služobníka kráľovho, i mňa, tvojho služobníka, ale neviem, čo bolo.

30 (CPDV) And the king said to him, “Pass, and stand here.” And when he had passed and stood still,
30 (ROH) A kráľ povedal: Odstúp, postav sa tamto! A odstúpil a stál.

31 (CPDV) Hushai appeared. And approaching, he said: “I bear good news, my lord the king. For today the Lord has judged for you, from the hand of all who had risen up against you.”
31 (ROH) A tu hľa, prišiel Kúši. A Kúši povedal: Dobrá zvesť sa zvestuje môjmu pánu kráľovi, lebo ťa dnes vysúdil Hospodin z ruky všetkých tých, ktorí boli povstali proti tebe.

32 (CPDV) But the king said to Hushai, “Is there peace for the boy Absalom?” And responding, Hushai said to him, “May the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise against him for evil, be as the boy is.”
32 (ROH) A kráľ povedal Kúšimu: Či pokoj môjmu synovi Absalomovi? A Kúši odpovedal: Nech sú jako syn kráľov nepriatelia môjho pána kráľa i všetci, ktorí povstali proti tebe na zlé!

33 (CPDV) And so the king, being greatly saddened, ascended to the upper room of the gate, and he wept. And as he went, he was speaking in this manner: “My son Absalom! Absalom my son! Who can grant to me that I may die on your behalf? Absalom, my son! My son, Absalom!”
33 (ROH) Vtedy sa vzrušil kráľ a vyjdúc do hornej siene na bráne plakal a idúc takto hovoril: Môj synu, Absalome, môj synu, môj synu, Absalome! Ó, keby som ja bol zomrel namiesto teba, Absalome! Môj synu, môj synu!
