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 came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, 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!'”
Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain 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.
So all the elders 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 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 Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.
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 his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither.
7 Ipak David osvoji Sionsku tvrđavu, to jest Davidov grad.
Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: 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.)
And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, [that are] hated of David’s soul, [he shall be chief and captain]. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.
9 David se nastani u tvrđavi i prozva je Davidov grad. Tada David podiže zid unaokolo od Mila pa unutra.
So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.
10 David je postajao sve silniji, jer Jahve, Bog nad vojskama, bijaše s njim.
And David went on, and grew great, 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 king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an house.
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 perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake.
13 Po dolasku iz Hebrona David uze još inoča i žena iz Jeruzalema; i rodi se Davidu još sinova i kćeri.
And David took [him] more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.
14 Evo imena djece koja mu se rodiše u Jeruzalemu: Šamua, Šobab, Natan, Salomon,
And these [be] the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
15 Jibhar, Elišua, Nefeg, Jafija,
Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
16 Elišama, Beeljada i Elifelet.
And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.
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.
But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard [of it], and went down to the hold.
18 Filistejci dođoše i raširiše se po Refaimskoj dolini.
The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
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 enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine 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-perazim, and David smote them there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
21 Ostavili su ondje svoje bogove; a David i njegovi ljudi odnesoše ih.
And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.
22 Filistejci opet dođoše i raširiše se po Refaimskoj dolini.
And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
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 when David enquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up; [but] fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
24 Kad začuješ topot koraka po bekaimskim vrhovima, onda se požuri, jer će tada Jahve ići pred tobom da pobije filistejsku vojsku.”
And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.
25 David učini kako mu je zapovjedio Jahve i pobi Filistejce od Gibeona sve do ulaza u Gezer.
And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer.
