2 Samuelova 5
1 Tada se sabraše sva izraelska plemena k Davidu u Hebron i rekoše: “Evo, mi smo od tvoje kosti i od tvoga mesa.
Then all the tribes of Israel came to David in Hebron, saying: Behold we are thy bone and thy flesh.
2 Još prije, dok je još Šaul bio kralj nad nama, ti si upravljao svim pokretima Izraela, a Jahve ti je rekao: 'Ti ćeš pasti moj izraelski narod i ti ćeš biti knez nad Izraelom!'”
Moreover yesterday also and the day before, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that did lead out and bring in Israel: and the Lord said to thee: Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel.
3 Tako dođoše sve izraelske starješine kralju u Hebron, a kralj David sklopi s njima savez u Hebronu pred Jahvom; i pomazaše Davida za kralja nad Izraelom.
The ancients also of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they anointed David to be king over Israel.
4 Trideset je godina bilo Davidu kad je postao kralj, a kraljevao je četrdeset godina.
David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
5 U Hebronu je kraljevao nad Judom sedam godina i šest mjeseci, a u Jeruzalemu kraljevaše trideset i tri godine nad svim Izraelom i nad Judom.
In Hebron he reigned over Juda seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned three and thirty years over all Israel and Juda.
6 David krene s ljudima na Jeruzalem protiv Jebusejaca, koji su živjeli u onoj zemlji. Ali oni poručiše Davidu: “Nećeš ući ovamo! Slijepci će te i kljasti odbiti!” (To je imalo značiti: David neće ući ovamo.)
And the king and all the men that were with him went to Jerusalem to the Jebusites the inhabitants of the land: and they said to David: Thou shalt not come in hither unless thou take away the blind and the lame that say: David shall not come in hither.
7 Ipak David osvoji Sionsku tvrđavu, to jest Davidov grad.
But David took the castle of Sion, the same is the city of David.
8 Onoga dana reče David: “Tko god pobije Jebusejce i popne se kroz prorov ...” A kljaste i slijepe mrzi David iz sve duše. (Stoga se kaže: Slijepci i kljasti neka ne ulaze u Hram.)
For David had offered that day a reward to whosoever should strike the Jebusites and get up to the gutters of the tops of the houses, and take away the blind and the lame that hated the soul of David: therefore it is said in the proverb: The blind and the lame shall not come into the temple.
9 David se nastani u tvrđavi i prozva je Davidov grad. Tada David podiže zid unaokolo od Mila pa unutra.
And David dwelt in the castle, and called it, The city of David: and built round about from Mello and inwards.
10 David je postajao sve silniji, jer Jahve, Bog nad vojskama, bijaše s njim.
And he went on prospering and growing up, and the Lord God of hosts was with him.
11 Tirski kralj Hiram posla k Davidu izaslanstvo i cedrova drveta, tesara i zidara, koji sagradiše dvor Davidu.
And Hiram the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons for walls: and they built a house for David.
12 Tada David spozna da ga je Jahve potvrdio za kralja nad Izraelom i da je vrlo uzvisio njegovo kraljevstvo radi svojega izraelskog naroda.
And David knew that the Lord bad confirmed him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom over his people Israel.
13 Po dolasku iz Hebrona David uze još inoča i žena iz Jeruzalema; i rodi se Davidu još sinova i kćeri.
And David took more concubines and wives of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were born to David other sons also and daughters:
14 Evo imena djece koja mu se rodiše u Jeruzalemu: Šamua, Šobab, Natan, Salomon,
And these are the names of them, that were born to him in Jerusalem, Samua, and Sobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
15 Jibhar, Elišua, Nefeg, Jafija,
And Jebahar, and Elisua, and Nepheg,
16 Elišama, Beeljada i Elifelet.
And Japhia, and Elisama, and Elioda, and Eliphaleth.
17 Kad su Filistejci čuli da su Davida pomazali za kralja nad Izraelom, iziđoše svi da se dočepaju Davida. Čuvši to, David siđe u svoj zaklon.
And the Philistines heard that they had anointed David to be king over Israel: and they all came to seek David: and when David heard of it, he went down to a strong hold.
18 Filistejci dođoše i raširiše se po Refaimskoj dolini.
And the Philistines coming spread themselves in the valley of Raphaim.
19 Tada David upita Jahvu: “Mogu li napasti Filistejce? Hoćeš li ih predati meni u ruke?” Jahve odgovori Davidu: “Napadni! Predat ću Filistejce tebi u ruke!”
And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go up to the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to David: Go up, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into thy hand.
20 Tada David dođe u Baal Perasim i ondje ih pobi. David reče: “Jahve je preda mnom prodro među moje neprijatelje kao što voda prodire.” Stoga se ono mjesto prozvalo Baal Perasim.
And David came to Baal Pharisim: and defeated them there, and he said: The Lord hath divided my enemies before me, as waters are divided. Therefore the name of the place was called Baal Pharisim.
21 Ostavili su ondje svoje bogove; a David i njegovi ljudi odnesoše ih.
And they left there their idols: which David and his men took away.
22 Filistejci opet dođoše i raširiše se po Refaimskoj dolini.
And the Philistines came up again and spread themselves in the valley of Raphaim.
23 David opet upita Jahvu, a on mu odgovori: “Ne idi pred njih, nego im zađi za leđa i navali na njih s protivne strane Bekaima.
And David consulted the Lord: Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou deliver them into my hands? He answered: Go not up against them, but fetch a compass behind them, and thou shalt come upon them over against the pear trees.
24 Kad začuješ topot koraka po bekaimskim vrhovima, onda se požuri, jer će tada Jahve ići pred tobom da pobije filistejsku vojsku.”
And when thou shalt hear the sound of one going in the tops of the pear trees, then shalt thou join battle: for then will the Lord go out before thy face to strike the army of the Philistines.
25 David učini kako mu je zapovjedio Jahve i pobi Filistejce od Gibeona sve do ulaza u Gezer.
And David did as the Lord had commanded him, and he smote the Philistines from Gabaa until thou come to Gezer.
