1 Ljetopisa 11
1 Tada se sabraše svi Izraelci k Davidu u Hebron i rekoše: “Evo, mi smo od tvoje kosti i tvojeg mesa.
Then the people of Israel came to David at Hebron [town] and said to him, “Listen, we have the same ancestors [IDM] that you have.
2 Još prije, dok je Šaul bio kralj, ti si upravljao svim pokretima Izraela; Jahve, tvoj Bog, rekao ti je: 'Ti ćeš pasti moj izraelski narod i ti ćeš biti knez nad mojim narodom Izraelom.'”
In the past, when Saul was our king, it was you who led our Israeli [soldiers in our battles]. You are the one to whom Yahweh our God promised, ‘You will be the leader [MET] of my people; you will be their king.’”
3 Tako dođoše sve izraelske starješine kralju u Hebron, a kralj David s njima sklopi savez u Hebronu pred Jahvom i pomazaše Davida za kralja nad Izraelom, kako bijaše Jahve rekao Samuelu.
So all the Israeli elders came to David at Hebron. And David made a sacred agreement with them while Yahweh was listening. They anointed him [with olive oil to set him apart] to be the king of the Israeli people. That is what Yahweh had previously told [the prophet] Samuel would happen.
4 Onda je otišao David sa svim Izraelom na Jeruzalem, a to je Jebus, jer su ondje bili Jebusejci i živjeli su u onoj zemlji.
David and all the Israeli [soldiers] [SYN] went to Jerusalem. [At that time, ] Jerusalem was called Jebus, and the people who lived there were the Jebus people-group.
5 Ali su Jebusejci poručili Davidu: “Nećeš ući ovamo!” Ipak David osvoji Sionsku tvrđavu, to jest Davidov grad.
Those people said to David, “Your [soldiers] will not be able to get inside our city!” But David’s [soldiers] captured the city, even though it had strong walls around it, and since then it has been called ‘The City of David’.
6 Jer je David rekao: “Tko prvi porazi Jebusejce, bit će vrhovni vojvoda i knez.” Prvi se popeo Sarvijin sin Joab i postao vojvoda.
[What happened was this: ]: David said [to his soldiers], “The one who leads [our soldiers] to attack the Jebus people-group will become the commander of all my army.” Joab, the son of Zeruiah, led the soldiers, so he became the commander of all the army.
7 Tada se David nastanio u toj tvrđavi; zato su je prozvali Davidovim gradom.
[After they captured] the city which had strong walls around it, David moved there. That is why they named it ‘The City of David’.
8 Sazidao je tada grad unaokolo, od Milona do ograde, a Joab je obnovio ostali dio grada.
David’s workers rebuilt the city, starting where the land was filled in and extending to the wall that was around the city. Joab’s [men] repaired the other parts of the city.
9 David je postajao sve silniji, jer je Jahve nad vojskama bio s njim.
David became more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
10 Evo vojvoda Davidovim junacima koji su junački radili uza nj za njegovo kraljevstvo sa svim Izraelom da ga po Jahvinoj riječi zakralje nad Izraelom.
Yahweh had promised [that David would become the king]. And all the Israeli people (were happy that David was/supported David as) their king. There were many soldiers/warriors who helped David’s kingdom to remain strong.
11 Evo popisa Davidovih junaka: Hakmonijev sin Jašobam, glavar nad tridesetoricom; on je mahnuo svojim kopljem na tri stotine i pobio ih odjednom.
This is a list of the leaders of David’s [most mighty] warriors: Jashobeam was from the Hacmon clan. He was one of the leaders of David’s most powerful soldiers. One time he fought against 300 enemies and killed them all with his spear.
12 Za njim Dodonov sin Eleazar, Ahošanin, jedan između tri junaka.
Another one was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh.
13 On je bio s Davidom u Pas Damimu, kad su se Filistejci skupili na boj, a ondje je bilo polje puno ječma; kad je narod počeo bježati ispred Filistejaca,
[One day] he was with David at Pas Dammim when the soldiers of Philistia gathered there for the battle. There was a field of barley there. At first the Israeli soldiers ran away from the soldiers of Philistia,
14 oni su stali usred toga polja i obranili ga pobivši Filistejce. Tako im Jahve dade veliku pobjedu.
but then David and Eleazar stopped in the middle of the field and fought to defend it and killed [many of] the soldiers of Philistia. Yahweh enabled them to win a great victory on that day.
15 Trojica su između tridesetorice jednom sišla do hridi k Davidu u Adulamsku pećinu kad su filistejske čete stajale u taboru u Refaimskoj dolini.
One time three of David’s thirty most mighty warriors came to David when he was camping next to the huge rock outside the cave near Adullam. At that same time, the army of Philistia had camped in the Rephaim Valley.
16 David je tada bio u svojoj kuli, a filistejska je posada tada bila u Betlehemu.
David was in a fortress, and some of the soldiers of Philistia were occupying Bethlehem.
17 David uzdahnu: “O kad bi me tko napojio vodom iz betlehemskoga studenca što je kod vrata!”
[One day] David was very thirsty and said, “I wish that someone would bring me some water from the well near the gate at Bethlehem!”
18 Tada ta trojica prodriješe kroz filistejski tabor i, zahvativši vode iz betlehemskoga studenca što je kod vrata, donesoše je i dadoše Davidu. Ali je David ne htjede piti nego je proli kao ljevanicu Jahvi
So those three most outstanding warriors forced their way through the camp of Philistia soldiers and drew some water from the well, and brought it to David. But he would not drink it. Instead, he poured it out [on the ground to be an offering] to Yahweh.
19 govoreći: “Ne dao mi moj Bog da to učinim! Zar da pijem krv ovih ljudi? TÓa izlažući život pogibli donijeli su vode.” I nije htio piti. To su, eto, učinila ta tri junaka.
He said, “Yahweh, it would certainly not be right for me to drink this water! That would be like [RHQ] drinking the blood of these men who were willing/ready to die for me!” So he refused to drink it. That was one of the things that those three most outstanding warriors did.
20 Abišaj, Joabov brat, bio je vojvoda nad tridesetoricom; on je vitlao kopljem na tri stotine, pobio ih i proslavio se među tridesetoricom.
Joab’s [younger] brother Abishai was the leader of the 30 most mighty warriors. [One time] Abishai fought 300 [enemy] soldiers with his spear and killed them.
21 Bio je među trojicom ugledniji od druge dvojice i bio im vojvoda, ali prve trojice nije dostigao.
So he became as famous as those three most outstanding warriors. He became their commander, even though he was not one of those three men.
22 Jojadin sin Benaja, junak iz Kabseela, bogat junačkim djelima, ubio je dva sina Ariela iz Moaba; on je jednoga snježnog dana sišao i ubio lava usred jame.
Jehoiada’s son Benaiah was a brave soldier from Kabzeel [town] who did heroic deeds. He killed two of the best warriors from [the] Moab [people-group]. One day he went down into a pit when snow was falling [on the ground] and killed a lion there.
23 Ubio je i nekog Egipćanina, čovjeka od pet lakata. Egipćanin je imao u ruci koplje kao tkalačko vratilo, a on je izišao preda nj sa štapom i, istrgavši Egipćaninu koplje iz ruke, ubio ga njegovim kopljem.
He also killed a soldier from Egypt who was (7-1/2 feet/2.3 meters) tall. The soldier from Egypt carried a spear that was as long as a weaver’s rod. Benaiah had [only] a club, but he grabbed the other man’s spear and killed him with it.
24 To je učinio Jojadin sin Benaja i proslavio se imenom među ona tri junaka.
Those are some of the things that Benaiah did. So he became as famous as the three mighty warriors.
25 Bio je najznamenitiji među tridesetoricom, ali one prve trojice nije dostigao. David ga postavi za zapovjednika svoje tjelesne straže.
He was more honored than the other members of the group of thirty most mighty warriors, but he did not become a member of the group of three most outstanding warriors. David appointed him to be the leader of his bodyguards.
