< Chronicles I 20 >
1 And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the [time of the] going forth of kings [to war], that Joab gathered the whole force of the army, and they ravaged the land of the children of Ammon; and he came and besieged Rabba. But David abode in Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabba and destroyed it.
Slijedeće godine, u doba kad kraljevi izlaze u rat, izvede Joab vojsku i poče pustošiti zemlju amonsku. Došavši, opsjeo je Rabu; David bijaše ostao u Jeruzalemu. Joab je osvojio Rabu i razorio je.
2 And David took the crown of Molchom their king off his head, and the weight of it was found [to be] a talent of gold, and on it were precious stones; and it was [placed] on the head of David: and he brought out the spoils of the city [which were] very great.
Tada je David uzeo njihovu kralju s glave krunu i vidio da je teška jedan zlatni talenat, a na njoj je bilo drago kamenje. Stavili su je na glavu Davidu, koji je iz grada odnio vrlo velik plijen.
3 And he brought out the people that were in it, and sawed them asunder with saws, and [cut them] with iron axes, and with harrows: and thus David did to all the children of Ammon. And David and all his people returned to Jerusalem.
Narod koji bijaše u gradu izvede van i stavi ga da radi pilama, gvozdenim pijucima i sjekirama. Tako je David učinio svim gradovima Amonovih sinova. Potom se vratio sa svim narodom u Jeruzalem.
4 And it came to pass afterward that there was again war with the Philistines in Gazer: then Sobochai the Sosathite struck Saphut of the sons of the giants, and laid him low.
Poslije toga opet izbi rat s Filistejcima u Gezeru; tada je Hušanin Sibkaj pogubio Sipaja, koji je bio od Refaimovih potomaka; i bili su pokoreni.
5 And there [was] war again with the Philistines; and Eleanan the son of Jair struck Lachmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [was] as a weavers' beam.
Uz to je nastao i rat s Filistejcima, u kojem je Jairov sin Elhanan pogubio Lahmija, brata Golijata Gitejca, koji je imao kopljaču kao tkalačko vratilo.
6 And there was again war in Geth, and there was a man of extraordinary size, and his fingers [and toes were] six on each hand and foot, four and twenty; and he was descended from the giants.
Potom opet izbi rat u Gatu, gdje je bio neki čovjek visoka rasta: imaše taj na svakoj ruci i nozi po šest prstiju, dakle dvadeset i četiri; i on bijaše Rafin potomak.
7 And he defied Israel, and Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of David killed him.
Kad je počeo ružiti Izraela, ubi ga Jonatan, sin Davidova brata Šimeja.
8 These were born to Rapha in Geth; all four were giants, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
To su bili Rafini potomci u Gatu koji su izginuli od Davidove ruke i od ruke njegovih slugu.
