2. kniha Samuelova

1 (KJV) And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
1 (B21) Když se Saulův syn Iš-bošet doslechl, že Abner v Hebronu zemřel, ztratil odvahu a také celý Izrael se zhrozil.

2 (KJV) And Saul's son had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin:
2 (B21) Saulův syn měl tenkrát dva velitele úderných oddílů. Jeden se jmenoval Baana a druhý Rechab; byli to synové Rimona Beerotského ze synů Benjamínových. Také Beerot se totiž počítá k Benjamínovi;

3 (KJV) And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners there until this day.)
3 (B21) Beerotští uprchli do Gitajim a od té doby tam pobývají až dodnes.

4 (KJV) And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
4 (B21) (Saulův syn Jonatan měl syna chromého na nohy. Tenkrát, když z Jizreelu dorazila zpráva o Saulovi a Jonatanovi, mu bylo pět let. Jeho chůva ho vzala do náruče a dala se na útěk. Jak ale pospíchala, upustila ho a on zchroml. Jmenoval se Mefibošet.)

5 (KJV) And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, who lay on a bed at noon.
5 (B21) Synové Rimona Beerotského, Rechab a Baana, se vypravili do Iš-bošetova domu. Dorazili tam kolem poledne, v době, kdy kvůli horku odpočíval.

6 (KJV) And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
6 (B21) Rechab a jeho bratr Baana vstoupili do domu, jako by si šli pro pšenici, bodli ho do břicha a utekli.

7 (KJV) For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and gat them away through the plain all night.
7 (B21) Když totiž vnikli do domu, spal na lůžku ve své ložnici. Ubodali ho k smrti, uřízli mu hlavu a šli s ní celou noc přes pláň Arava,

8 (KJV) And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the LORD hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.
8 (B21) až ji přinesli k Davidovi do Hebronu. "Zde je hlava Iš-bošeta, syna Saulova, tvého nepřítele, který ti usiloval o život," oznámili králi. "Hospodin dnes našemu pánu a králi dopřál pomstu nad Saulem a jeho potomstvem."

9 (KJV) And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
9 (B21) David na to Rechabovi a jeho bratru Baanovi, synům Rimona Beerotského, řekl: "Jakože je živ Hospodin, který mě vykoupil z každého soužení:

10 (KJV) When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, who thought that I would have given him a reward for his tidings:
10 (B21) Muž, který mi v Ciklagu ohlásil, že Saul je mrtev, si myslel, že nese dobré zprávy. Já jsem ho ale za tu zprávu odměnil tak, že jsem ho dal zabít.

11 (KJV) How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?
11 (B21) Čím spíše když nějací zlosynové zavraždí nevinného člověka v jeho vlastním domě na jeho vlastním lůžku? Nemám snad teď jeho krev žádat po vás a sprovodit vás ze světa?!"

12 (KJV) And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
12 (B21) Nato David rozkázal svým mládencům, aby je zabili. Usekali jim ruce i nohy a pověsili je u rybníka v Hebronu. Iš-bošetovu hlavu pak vzali a pohřbili ji v Hebronu do Abnerova hrobu.
