1 Samuelova 17
1 Filistejci skupiše svoje čete za rat i sastaše se kod Soka u Judeji. Tabor udariše između Soka i Azeke kod Efes Damima.
Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle; and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephesdammim.
2 A Šaul i Izraelci skupiše se i utaboriše u Terebintskoj dolini, i svrstaše se za boj protiv Filistejaca.
Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
3 Filistejci su stajali na gori s jedne strane, Izraelci na gori s druge strane, a dolina bila među njima.
The Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
4 Iz filistejskih redova izađe jedan izazivač. Zvao se Golijat, a bio je iz Gata. Visok bijaše šest lakata i jedan pedalj.
A champion out of the camp of the Philistines named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span went out.
5 Na glavi je imao mjedenu kacigu, obučen je bio u ljuskav oklop, a oklop mu težak pet tisuća mjedenih šekela.
He had a helmet of bronze on his head, and he wore a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze.
6 Na nogama je imao mjedene nogavice, a na ramenima mjedenu sulicu.
He had bronze shin armor on his legs and a bronze javelin between his shoulders.
7 Kopljača njegova koplja bila je kao tkalačko vratilo, a šiljak koplja težak šest stotina željeznih šekela. Pred njim je stupao štitonoša.
The staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron. His shield bearer went before him.
8 On se postavi pred izraelske bojne redove i dovikne im: “Što ste izašli da se svrstate za bitku? Nisam li ja Filistejac, a vi Šaulove sluge? Izaberite između sebe jednoga čovjeka pa neka siđe k meni!
He stood and cried to the armies of Israel, and said to them, “Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.
9 Ako pobijedi u borbi sa mnom i pogubi me, mi ćemo biti vaše sluge. Ako li ja pobijedim njega i pogubim ga, onda ćete vi biti naše sluge i nama ćete robovati.”
If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you will be our servants and serve us.”
10 Još je Filistejac rekao: “Ja sam danas izazvao Izraelove bojne redove. Dajte mi čovjeka da se ogledamo u dvoboju!”
The Philistine said, “I defy the armies of Israel today! Give me a man, that we may fight together!”
11 Kad je Šaul i sav Izrael čuo što je rekao Filistejac, obuze ih strah i drhat.
When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.
12 David je bio sin nekoga Efraćanina iz Betlehema u Judeji; taj se zvao Jišaj, a imao je osam sinova. Taj je čovjek u Šaulovo vrijeme bio star i odmakao u godinama.
Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons. The man was an elderly old man in the days of Saul.
13 Tri najstarija Jišajeva sina bijahu otišla u rat za Šaulom; a ta trojica njegovih sinova koji bijahu otišli u rat zvahu se: najstariji Eliab, drugi Abinadab, a treći Šama.
The three oldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle; and the names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
14 David bijaše najmlađi. A tri najstarija bijahu otišla za Šaulom. -
David was the youngest; and the three oldest followed Saul.
15 David je odlazio k Šaulu i vraćao se iz njegove službe da pase stada svoga oca u Betlehemu.
Now David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Bethlehem.
16 A Filistejac izlazio svakoga jutra i večeri i postavljao se tako četrdeset dana. -
The Philistine came near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
17 A Jišaj reče svome sinu Davidu: “Uzmi za svoju braću ovu efu prženoga žita i ovih deset hljebova i odnesi brže svojoj braći u tabor.
Jesse said to David his son, “Now take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to your brothers;
18 A ovih deset sireva odnesi njihovu tisućniku. Propitaj se za zdravlje svoje braće i donesi od njih znak da si izvršio nalog!
and bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand; and see how your brothers are doing, and bring back news.”
19 Oni su sa Šaulom i svim Izraelom u Terebintskoj dolini: vojuju protiv Filistejaca.”
Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
20 David ustade u rano jutro, ostavi stado jednom čuvaru, spremi se i ode kako mu bijaše zapovjedio Jišaj. U tabor je stigao kad je vojska izlazila u bojni red i dizala bojni poklik.
David rose up early in the morning and left the sheep with a keeper, and took the provisions and went, as Jesse had commanded him. He came to the place of the wagons as the army which was going out to the fight shouted for the battle.
21 Izraelci i Filistejci svrstaše se u bojni red jedni prema drugima.
Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, army against army.
22 David ostavi svoje stvari čuvaru opreme pa otrča u bojni red. Došavši, zapita svoju braću za zdravlje.
David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage and ran to the army, and came and greeted his brothers.
23 Dok je s njima govorio, gle, onaj izazivač (zvao se Golijat, Filistejac iz Gata) iziđe iz filistejskih bojnih redova i ponovi iste riječi kao prije. I David ih je čuo.
As he talked with them, behold, the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, came up out of the ranks of the Philistines, and said the same words; and David heard them.
24 A čim su Izraelci ugledali toga čovjeka, pobjegoše svi daleko od njega i strah ih uhvati.
All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were terrified.
25 Neki Izraelac reče: “Jeste li vidjeli onoga čovjeka što je izišao? A izišao je da izaziva Izraela. Tko njega pogubi, kralj će mu dati silno blago i dat će mu svoju kćer i oslobodit će od poreza njegov očinski dom u Izraelu.”
The men of Israel said, “Have you seen this man who has come up? He has surely come up to defy Israel. The king will give great riches to the man who kills him, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father’s house tax-free in Israel.”
26 Tada David zapita ljude koji stajahu oko njega: “Što će to dobiti čovjek koji ubije toga Filistejca i skine sramotu s Izraela? I tko je taj neobrezani Filistejac da izaziva bojne redove živoga Boga?”
David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, “What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”
27 A narod mu odgovori istim riječima kao prije: “Eto to će dobiti čovjek koji ga pogubi.”
The people answered him in this way, saying, “So shall it be done to the man who kills him.”
28 A kad je Eliab, njegov najstariji brat, čuo kako se razgovara s ljudima, usplamtje gnjevom na Davida pa mu reče: “A što si ti došao ovamo? Kome si ostavio ono malo ovaca u pustinji? Znam ja tvoju drskost i zlobu tvoga srca: došao si da vidiš bitku!”
Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger burned against David, and he said, “Why have you come down? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the evil of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle.”
29 A David odgovori: “A što sam učinio? Zar se ne smije ni riječ reći?”
David said, “What have I now done? Is there not a cause?”
30 Tada se okrene od njega k drugome i zapita istim riječima kao prije. Narod mu odgovori isto kao prvi put.
He turned away from him toward another, and spoke like that again; and the people answered him again the same way.
31 Kad su ljudi čuli što je govorio David, jave to Šaulu, a on ga pozva preda se.
When the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed them before Saul; and he sent for him.
32 David reče Šaulu: “Neka nikome ne klone srce zbog onoga čovjeka! Tvoj će sluga izaći i borit će se s tim Filistejcem.”
David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him. Your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.”
33 Ali Šaul odvrati Davidu: “Ne možeš ti izaći na toga Filistejca da se boriš s njim jer si ti još dijete, a on ratnik od svoje mladosti.”
Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.”
34 Ali David odgovori Šaulu: “Tvoj je sluga čuvao ovce svome ocu, pa kad bi došao lav ili medvjed te uhvatio ovcu iz stada,
David said to Saul, “Your servant was keeping his father’s sheep; and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock,
35 ja bih potrčao za njim, udario ga i istrgao mu ovcu iz ralja. A ako bi se on digao na me, uhvatio bih ga za grivu i udarao ga dok ga ne bih ubio.
I went out after him, struck him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, struck him, and killed him.
36 I lava je i medvjeda tvoj sluga ubio, pa će i taj neobrezani Filistejac proći kao jedan od njih jer je izazvao bojne čete Boga živoga.”
Your servant struck both the lion and the bear. This uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, since he has defied the armies of the living God.”
37 David još dometne: “Jahve koji me izbavio iz lavlje pandže i medvjeđe šape izbavit će me i iz ruku toga Filistejca.” Tada Šaul reče Davidu: “Idi i Jahve neka bude s tobom!”
David said, “The LORD, who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear, will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.” Saul said to David, “Go! The LORD will be with you.”
38 Šaul obuče Davida u svoju ratnu odoru, na glavu mu ustače mjedenu kacigu i stavi mu oklop.
Saul dressed David with his clothing. He put a helmet of bronze on his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail.
39 Pripasa Davidu svoj mač preko odore, ali David uzalud pokuša hodati, jer ne bijaše navikao, pa reče Šaulu: “Ne mogu hodati u tome jer nisam navikao.” Zato sve skinu sa sebe.
David strapped his sword on his clothing and he tried to move, for he had not tested it. David said to Saul, “I can’t go with these, for I have not tested them.” Then David took them off.
40 David uze svoj štap u ruku, izabra u potoku pet glatkih kamenova i metnu ih u svoju pastirsku torbu, koja mu je služila kao torba za praćku, te s praćkom u ruci pođe prema Filistejcu.
He took his staff in his hand, and chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag which he had. His sling was in his hand; and he came near to the Philistine.
41 A Filistejac se sve bliže primicao Davidu, dok je njegov štitonoša stupao pred njim.
The Philistine walked and came near to David; and the man who bore the shield went before him.
42 A kad Filistejac pogleda i vidje Davida, prezre ga s njegove mladosti - bijaše David mladić, rumen, lijepa lica.
When the Philistine looked around and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and had a good looking face.
43 Zato Filistejac reče Davidu: “Zar sam ja pseto te ideš na me sa štapovima?” I uze proklinjati Davida svojim bogovima.
The Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” The Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 Zatim Filistejac reče Davidu: “Dođi k meni da dam tvoje meso pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim!”
The Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and to the animals of the field.”
45 A David odgovori Filistejcu: “Ti ideš na me mačem, kopljem i sulicom, a ja idem na te u ime Jahve Sebaota, Boga Izraelovih četa koje si ti izazvao.
Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin; but I come to you in the name of the LORD of Armies, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
46 Danas će te Jahve predati u moju ruku, ja ću te ubiti, skinut ću tvoju glavu i još ću danas tvoje mrtvo tijelo i mrtva tjelesa filistejske vojske dati pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim. Sva će zemlja znati da ima Bog u Izraelu.
Today, the LORD will deliver you into my hand. I will strike you and take your head from off you. I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines today to the birds of the sky and to the wild animals of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,
47 I sav će ovaj zbor znati da Jahve ne daje pobjedu mačem ni kopljem, jer je Jahve gospodar bitke i on vas predaje u naše ruke.”
and that all this assembly may know that the LORD doesn’t save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hand.”
48 Kad se Filistejac približio i pošao prema Davidu, izađe David iz bojnih redova i krenu pred Filistejca.
When the Philistine arose, and walked and came near to meet David, David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49 David segnu rukom u torbu, izvadi iz nje kamen i hitnu ga iz praćke. I pogodi Filistejca u čelo; kamen mu se zabi u čelo i on pade ničice na zemlju.
David put his hand in his bag, took a stone and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.
50 Tako je David praćkom i kamenom nadjačao Filistejca: udario je Filistejca i ubio ga, a nije imao mača u ruci.
So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him; but there was no sword in David’s hand.
51 Zato David potrča i stade na Filistejca, zgrabi njegov mač, izvuče ga iz korica i pogubi Filistejca odsjekavši mu glavu. Kad Filistejci vidješe kako pogibe njihov junak, nagnuše u bijeg.
Then David ran, stood over the Philistine, took his sword, drew it out of its sheath, killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
52 Tada ustadoše Izraelci i Judejci, digoše bojnu viku i potjeraše Filistejce do opkopa oko Gata i do gradskih vrata Ekrona; filistejski mrtvaci pokriše put od Šaarajima sve do Gata i do Ekrona.
The men of Israel and of Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as Gai and to the gates of Ekron. The wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath and to Ekron.
53 Nato se Izraelci vratiše iz te žestoke potjere za Filistejcima i opljačkaše njihov tabor.
The children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.
54 A David uze Filistejčevu glavu i odnese je u Jeruzalem, a oružje njegovo položi u svoj šator.
David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his tent.
55 Kad je Šaul vidio Davida gdje izlazi pred Filistejca, upitao je svoga vojvodu Abnera: “Čiji je sin taj mladić, Abnere?” A Abner je odgovorio: “Tako mi tvoga života, kralju, ne znam!”
When Saul saw David go out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the army, “Abner, whose son is this youth?” Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, I can’t tell.”
56 A kralj mu reče: “Raspitaj se čiji je sin taj mladić!”
The king said, “Inquire whose son the young man is!”
57 A kad se David vratio pošto je pogubio Filistejca, uze ga Abner i dovede ga pred Šaula, a u ruci David još držaše Filistejčevu glavu.
As David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
58 Šaul ga upita: “Čiji si ti sin, momče?” A David odgovori: “Sin sam tvoga sluge Betlehemca Jišaja.”
Saul said to him, “Whose son are you, you young man?” David answered, “I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.”
