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 at Hebron and spoke, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your 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!'”
In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led Israel out and in. The LORD said to you, ‘You will be shepherd of my people Israel, and you will 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.
So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and King David made a covenant 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-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.)
The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, “The blind and the lame will keep you out of here,” thinking, “David can’t come in here.”
7 Ipak David osvoji Sionsku tvrđavu, to jest Davidov grad.
Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. This is David’s city.
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.)
David said on that day, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him go up to the watercourse and strike those lame and blind, who are hated by David’s soul.” Therefore they say, “The blind and the lame can’t come into the house.”
9 David se nastani u tvrđavi i prozva je Davidov grad. Tada David podiže zid unaokolo od Mila pa unutra.
David lived in the stronghold, and called it David’s city. David built around from Millo and inward.
10 David je postajao sve silniji, jer Jahve, Bog nad vojskama, bijaše s njim.
David grew greater and greater, for the LORD, the God of Armies, was with him.
11 Tirski kralj Hiram posla k Davidu izaslanstvo i cedrova drveta, tesara i zidara, koji sagradiše dvor Davidu.
Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, with cedar trees, carpenters, and masons; and they built David a 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.
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.
David took more concubines and wives for himself out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and more sons and daughters were born to David.
14 Evo imena djece koja mu se rodiše u Jeruzalemu: Šamua, Šobab, Natan, Salomon,
These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
15 Jibhar, Elišua, Nefeg, Jafija,
Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
16 Elišama, Beeljada i Elifelet.
Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
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.
When the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David, but David heard about it and went down to the stronghold.
18 Filistejci dođoše i raširiše se po Refaimskoj dolini.
Now the Philistines had come 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!”
David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” The LORD said to David, “Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into your 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.
David came to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there. Then he said, “The LORD has broken my enemies before me, like 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.
They left their images there, and David and his men took them away.
22 Filistejci opet dođoše i raširiše se po Refaimskoj dolini.
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.
When David inquired of the LORD, he said, “You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them in front of 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.”
When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then stir yourself up; for then the LORD has gone out before you 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.
David did so, as the LORD commanded him, and struck the Philistines all the way from Geba to Gezer.
