2 Samuel 8
1 And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them; and David took the authority of the mother-town from the hands of the Philistines.
Poslije toga David porazi Filistejce i pokori ih te ote Gat s njegovim selima iz filistejskih ruku.
2 And he overcame the Moabites, and he had them measured with a line when they were stretched out on the earth; marking out two lines for death and one full line for life. So the Moabites became servants to David and gave him offerings.
Porazi i Moapce i izmjeri ih uzicom polegavši ih po zemlji: dvije uzice odmjeri onih koje treba pogubiti, a jednu punu uzicu onih koje treba ostaviti na životu. Tako Moapci postadoše Davidovi podanici koji su mu donosili danak.
3 And David overcame Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to make his power seen by the River.
David je porazio i Hadadezera, Rehobova sina, sopskoga kralja, kad je izišao da proširi svoju vlast do Rijeke.
4 And David took from him one thousand, seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and David had the leg-muscles of the horses cut, only keeping enough of them for a hundred war-carriages.
David zarobi od njega tisuću i sedam stotina konjanika i dvadeset tisuća pješaka; ispresijecao je petne žile svim konjima od bojnih kola; ostavio ih je samo stotinu.
5 And when the Aramaeans of Damascus came to the help of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David put to the sword twenty-two thousand of the Aramaeans.
Damaščanski su Aramejci došli u pomoć Hadadezeru, sopskome kralju, ali je David pobio među Aramejcima dvadeset i dvije tisuće ljudi.
6 And David put armed forces in Aram of Damascus: and the Aramaeans became servants to David and gave him offerings. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.
Postavio je namjesnike u Damaščanskom Aramu. Tako Aramejci postadoše Davidovi podanici i moradoše mu plaćati danak. Jahve je davao pobjedu Davidu kuda je god išao.
7 And David took their gold body-covers from the servants of Hadadezer and took them to Jerusalem.
David zaplijeni zlatne štitove što ih imahu Hadadezerove sluge i donese ih u Jeruzalem.
8 And from Tebah and Berothai, towns of Hadadezer, King David took a great store of brass.
Iz Tebaha i iz Berotaja, Hadadezerovih gradova, donese kralj David silni tuč.
9 And when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer,
Kad je čuo hamatski kralj Tou da je David porazio svu Hadadezerovu vojsku,
10 He sent his son Hadoram to David, with words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had wars with Tou; and Hadoram took with him vessels of silver and gold and brass:
poslao je svoga sina Hadorama kralju Davidu da ga pozdravi i da mu čestita što je vojevao protiv Hadadezera i porazio ga, jer je Hadadezer bio u ratu s Touom; Hadoram donese srebrnih, zlatnih i tučanih predmeta.
11 These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold which he had taken from the nations he had overcome —
I njih kralj David posveti Jahvi sa srebrom i zlatom što ga bijaše uzeo od svih naroda koje je pokorio:
12 The nations of Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon and the Philistines and the Amalekites and the goods he had taken from Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
od Aramaca, Moabaca, Amonaca, Filistejaca i od Amalečana te od plijena Hadadezera, Rehobova sina, kralja Sobe.
13 And David got great honour for himself, when he came back, by the destruction of Edom in the valley of Salt, to the number of eighteen thousand men.
David steče novu slavu kad je na povratku porazio Edomce, u Slanoj dolini, osamnaest tisuća njih.
14 And he put armed forces in Edom; all through Edom he had armed forces stationed, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.
I postavi upravitelje u Edomu, i svi Edomci postadoše podanici Davidovi. I kuda je god David išao, Jahve mu davaše pobjedu.
15 And David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people.
David kraljevaše nad svim Izraelom, čineći pravo i pravicu svemu svome narodu.
16 And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records;
Joab, sin Sarvijin, zapovijedaše vojskom, a Jošafat, sin Ahiludov, bijaše ljetopisac.
17 And Zadok and Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, were priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;
Sadok, sin Ahitubov, i Ebjatar, sin Ahimelekov, bijahu svećenici; Seraja bijaše državni pisar;
18 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were priests.
Benaja, sin Jojadin, zapovijedaše Kerećanima i Pelećanima; Davidovi sinovi bijahu namjesnici.
