< 1 Ljetopisa 20 >
1 Slijedeće godine, u doba kad kraljevi izlaze u rat, izvede Joab vojsku i poče pustošiti zemlju amonsku. Došavši, opsjeo je Rabu; David bijaše ostao u Jeruzalemu. Joab je osvojio Rabu i razorio je.
And it cometh to pass, at the time of the turn of the year — at the time of the going out of the messengers — that Joab leadeth out the force of the host, and destroyeth the land of the sons of Ammon, and cometh in and beseigeth Rabbah — David is abiding in Jerusalem — and Joab smiteth Rabbah, and breaketh it down.
2 Tada je David uzeo njihovu kralju s glave krunu i vidio da je teška jedan zlatni talenat, a na njoj je bilo drago kamenje. Stavili su je na glavu Davidu, koji je iz grada odnio vrlo velik plijen.
And David taketh the crown of their king from off his head, and findeth it [in] weight a talent of gold, and in it a precious stone, and it is on the head of David: and spoil of the city he hath brought out very much,
3 Narod koji bijaše u gradu izvede van i stavi ga da radi pilama, gvozdenim pijucima i sjekirama. Tako je David učinio svim gradovima Amonovih sinova. Potom se vratio sa svim narodom u Jeruzalem.
and the people who [are] in it he hath brought out, and setteth to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes; and thus doth David to all cities of the sons of Ammon, and David turneth back, and all the people, to Jerusalem.
4 Poslije toga opet izbi rat s Filistejcima u Gezeru; tada je Hušanin Sibkaj pogubio Sipaja, koji je bio od Refaimovih potomaka; i bili su pokoreni.
And it cometh to pass, after this, that there remaineth war in Gezer with the Philistines, then hath Sibbechai the Hushathite smitten Sippai, of the children of the giant, and they are humbled.
5 Uz to je nastao i rat s Filistejcima, u kojem je Jairov sin Elhanan pogubio Lahmija, brata Golijata Gitejca, koji je imao kopljaču kao tkalačko vratilo.
And there is again war with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair smiteth Lahmi, brother of Goliath the Gittite, the wood of whose spear [is] like a beam of weavers.
6 Potom opet izbi rat u Gatu, gdje je bio neki čovjek visoka rasta: imaše taj na svakoj ruci i nozi po šest prstiju, dakle dvadeset i četiri; i on bijaše Rafin potomak.
And there is again war in Gath, and there is a man of measure, and his fingers and his toes [are] six and six, twenty and four, and also, he hath been born to the giant.
7 Kad je počeo ružiti Izraela, ubi ga Jonatan, sin Davidova brata Šimeja.
And he reproacheth Israel, and smite him doth Jonathan son of Shimea, brother of David.
8 To su bili Rafini potomci u Gatu koji su izginuli od Davidove ruke i od ruke njegovih slugu.
These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
