1 Ljetopisa 14
1 Tirski kralj Hiram posla k Davidu izaslanstvo i cedrovih drva, zidara i tesara da mu grade dvor.
Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, stonemasons, and carpenters, to build a palace for him.
2 Tada David spozna da ga je Jahve potvrdio za kralja nad Izraelom i da je uzvisio njegovo kraljevstvo radi svojega izraelskog naroda.
And David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had highly exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.
3 David je uzeo još žena u Jeruzalemu i imao još sinova i kćeri.
And David took more wives in Jerusalem and became the father of more sons and daughters.
4 Evo imena djece koja mu se rodiše u Jeruzalemu: Šamua, Šobab, Natan, Salomon,
These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
5 Jibhar, Elišua, Elpalet,
Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 Nogah, Nefeg, Jafija,
Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7 Elišama, Beeljada i Elifelet.
Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 Kad su Filistejci čuli da su Davida pomazali za kralja nad svim Izraelom, iziđoše svi da se dočepaju Davida. David, čuvši to, iziđe pred njih.
When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went out to face them.
9 Filistejci dođoše i raširiše se po Refaimskoj dolini.
Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim.
10 Tada David upita Boga: “Mogu li napasti Filistejce? Hoćeš li ih predati meni u ruke?” Jahve mu odgovori: “Napadni, jer ću ih predati tebi u ruke!”
So David inquired of God, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will deliver them into your hand.”
11 Tada krenuše u Baal Perasim i David ih ondje pobi. David reče: “Bog je prodro među moje neprijatelje mojom rukom, kao što voda prodire.” Stoga se ono mjesto prozvalo Baal Perasim.
So David and his men went up to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, God has burst out against my enemies by my hand.” So they called that place Baal-perazim.
12 Ostavili su ondje svoje bogove; a David zapovjedi da ih spale.
There the Philistines abandoned their gods, and David ordered that they be burned in the fire.
13 Opet se Filistejci raširiše po onoj dolini.
Once again the Philistines raided the valley.
14 David opet upita Boga, a Bog mu odgovori: “Ne idi za njima nego ih opkoli i navali na njih s protivne strane Bekaima.
So David again inquired of God, who answered him, “Do not march up after them, but circle around them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.
15 Pa kad začuješ topot koraka po bekaimskim vrhovima, onda izađi u boj, jer će tada ići Bog pred tobom da pobije filistejsku vojsku.”
As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move out to battle, because this will mean that God has marched out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”
16 David učini kako mu je zapovjedio Bog; i pobili su filistejsku vojsku od Gibeona do Gezera.
So David did as God had commanded him, and they struck down the army of the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
17 Davidovo se ime pročulo po svim zemljama, a Jahve uli strah od njega svim narodima.
And David’s fame went out into every land, and the LORD caused all nations to fear him.
