Kings I 17
1 And the Philistines gather their armies to battle, and gather themselves to Socchoth of Judaea, and encamp between Socchoth and Azeca Ephermen.
Filistejci skupiše svoje čete za rat i sastaše se kod Soka u Judeji. Tabor udariše između Soka i Azeke kod Efes Damima.
2 And Saul and the men of Israel gather together, and they encamp in the valley, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
A Šaul i Izraelci skupiše se i utaboriše u Terebintskoj dolini, i svrstaše se za boj protiv Filistejaca.
3 And the Philistines stand on the mountain on one side, and Israel stands on the mountain on the other side, and the valley was between them.
Filistejci su stajali na gori s jedne strane, Izraelci na gori s druge strane, a dolina bila među njima.
4 And there went forth a mighty man out of the army of the Philistines, Goliath, by name, out of Geth, his height [was] four cubits and a span.
Iz filistejskih redova izađe jedan izazivač. Zvao se Golijat, a bio je iz Gata. Visok bijaše šest lakata i jedan pedalj.
5 And [he had] a helmet upon his head, and he wore a breastplate of chain armour; and the weight of his breastplate [was] five thousand shekels of brass and iron.
Na glavi je imao mjedenu kacigu, obučen je bio u ljuskav oklop, a oklop mu težak pet tisuća mjedenih šekela.
6 And greaves of grass [were] upon his legs, and a brazen target [was] between his shoulders.
Na nogama je imao mjedene nogavice, a na ramenima mjedenu sulicu.
7 And the staff of his spear [was] like a weaver's beam, and the spear's head [was formed] of six hundred shekels of iron; and his armour-bearer went before him.
Kopljača njegova koplja bila je kao tkalačko vratilo, a šiljak koplja težak šest stotina željeznih šekela. Pred njim je stupao štitonoša.
8 And he stood and cried to the army of Israel, and said to them, Why are you come forth to set yourselves in battle array against us? Am not I a Philistine, and you Hebrews of Saul? Choose for yourselves a man, and let him come down to me.
On se postavi pred izraelske bojne redove i dovikne im: “Što ste izašli da se svrstate za bitku? Nisam li ja Filistejac, a vi Šaulove sluge? Izaberite između sebe jednoga čovjeka pa neka siđe k meni!
9 And if he shall be able to fight against me, and shall strike me, then will we be your servants: but if I should prevail and strike him, you shall be our servants, and serve us.
Ako pobijedi u borbi sa mnom i pogubi me, mi ćemo biti vaše sluge. Ako li ja pobijedim njega i pogubim ga, onda ćete vi biti naše sluge i nama ćete robovati.”
10 And the Philistine said, Behold, I have defied the armies of Israel this very day: give me a man, and we will both of us fight in single combat.
Još je Filistejac rekao: “Ja sam danas izazvao Izraelove bojne redove. Dajte mi čovjeka da se ogledamo u dvoboju!”
11 And Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, and they were dismayed, and greatly terrified.
Kad je Šaul i sav Izrael čuo što je rekao Filistejac, obuze ih strah i drhat.
12 [And David son of an Ephrathite said, this Eplarathite was of Bethleem Juda, and his name was Jessae, and he had eight sons. And the man passed for an old man amongst men in the days of Saul. ]
David je bio sin nekoga Efraćanina iz Betlehema u Judeji; taj se zvao Jišaj, a imao je osam sinova. Taj je čovjek u Šaulovo vrijeme bio star i odmakao u godinama.
13 [And the three elder sons of Jessae went and followed Saul to the war, and the ] [names of his sons that went to the war were, Eliab his first-born, and his second Aminadab, and his third son Samma. ]
Tri najstarija Jišajeva sina bijahu otišla u rat za Šaulom; a ta trojica njegovih sinova koji bijahu otišli u rat zvahu se: najstariji Eliab, drugi Abinadab, a treći Šama.
14 [And David himself ] [was the younger son, and the three elder followed Saul. ]
David bijaše najmlađi. A tri najstarija bijahu otišla za Šaulom. -
15 [And David departed and returned from Saul, ] [to feed his father’s sheep in Bethleem; ]
David je odlazio k Šaulu i vraćao se iz njegove službe da pase stada svoga oca u Betlehemu.
16 [And the Philistine advanced morning and evening, and stood up forty days. ]
A Filistejac izlazio svakoga jutra i večeri i postavljao se tako četrdeset dana. -
17 [And Jessae said to David, Take now to your brethren an ephah of this meal, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp and give them to your brothers. ]
A Jišaj reče svome sinu Davidu: “Uzmi za svoju braću ovu efu prženoga žita i ovih deset hljebova i odnesi brže svojoj braći u tabor.
18 [And you shall carry to the captain of the thousand ] [these ten cheeses of milk, and you shall see how your brethren fare, and learn what they lack. ]
A ovih deset sireva odnesi njihovu tisućniku. Propitaj se za zdravlje svoje braće i donesi od njih znak da si izvršio nalog!
19 [And Saul himself and all the men of Israel were in the valley of the Oak, warring with the Philistines. ]
Oni su sa Šaulom i svim Izraelom u Terebintskoj dolini: vojuju protiv Filistejaca.”
20 [And David rose early in the morning, and left the sheep to a keeper, and took and went as Jessae commanded him, and he came to the trench and to the army as it was going out to fight, and they shouted for the battle. ]
David ustade u rano jutro, ostavi stado jednom čuvaru, spremi se i ode kako mu bijaše zapovjedio Jišaj. U tabor je stigao kad je vojska izlazila u bojni red i dizala bojni poklik.
21 [And Israel and the Philistines formed their lines one opposite the other. ]
Izraelci i Filistejci svrstaše se u bojni red jedni prema drugima.
22 [And David deposited his burden in the hand of a keeper, and ran to the line, and went and asked his brethren how they Were. ]
David ostavi svoje stvari čuvaru opreme pa otrča u bojni red. Došavši, zapita svoju braću za zdravlje.
23 [And while he was speaking with them, behold the Amessaean advanced, Goliath by name, the Philistine of Geth, of the armies of the Philistines, and he spoke ] [as before, and David heard. ]
Dok je s njima govorio, gle, onaj izazivač (zvao se Golijat, Filistejac iz Gata) iziđe iz filistejskih bojnih redova i ponovi iste riječi kao prije. I David ih je čuo.
24 [And all the men of Israel when they saw the man fled from before him, and they were greatly terrified. ]
A čim su Izraelci ugledali toga čovjeka, pobjegoše svi daleko od njega i strah ih uhvati.
25 [And the men of Israel said, Have you seen this man that comes up? for he has reproached Israel and has come up; and it shall be that the man who shall strike him, the king shall enrich him with great wealth and shall give him his daughter, and shall make his father’s house free in Israel. ]
Neki Izraelac reče: “Jeste li vidjeli onoga čovjeka što je izišao? A izišao je da izaziva Izraela. Tko njega pogubi, kralj će mu dati silno blago i dat će mu svoju kćer i oslobodit će od poreza njegov očinski dom u Izraelu.”
26 [and David spoke to the men who stood with him saying, Shall it indeed be done thus to the man who shall strike that Philistine, and take away reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he has defied the army of the living God? ]
Tada David zapita ljude koji stajahu oko njega: “Što će to dobiti čovjek koji ubije toga Filistejca i skine sramotu s Izraela? I tko je taj neobrezani Filistejac da izaziva bojne redove živoga Boga?”
27 [And the people spoke to him according to this Word, saying Thus shall it be done to the man Who shall strike him. ]
A narod mu odgovori istim riječima kao prije: “Eto to će dobiti čovjek koji ga pogubi.”
28 [And Eliab his elder brother heard as he spoke to the men, and Eliab was very angry with David and said, Why have you thus come down, and with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the naughtiness of your heart, for you are come down to see the battle. ]
A kad je Eliab, njegov najstariji brat, čuo kako se razgovara s ljudima, usplamtje gnjevom na Davida pa mu reče: “A što si ti došao ovamo? Kome si ostavio ono malo ovaca u pustinji? Znam ja tvoju drskost i zlobu tvoga srca: došao si da vidiš bitku!”
29 [And David said what have I done now? ] [Have I no business here? ]
A David odgovori: “A što sam učinio? Zar se ne smije ni riječ reći?”
30 [And he turned from him towards another, and he spoke after the same manner; and the people answered him ] [after the former manner. ]
Tada se okrene od njega k drugome i zapita istim riječima kao prije. Narod mu odgovori isto kao prvi put.
31 [And the Words which David spoke were heard and were reported ] [to Saul. And he took him to himself. ]
Kad su ljudi čuli što je govorio David, jave to Šaulu, a on ga pozva preda se.
32 And David said to Saul, Let not, I pray you, the heart of my lord be dejected within him: your servant will go, and fight with this Philistine.
David reče Šaulu: “Neka nikome ne klone srce zbog onoga čovjeka! Tvoj će sluga izaći i borit će se s tim Filistejcem.”
33 And Saul said to David, You will not in anyway be able to go against this Philistine to fight with him, for you are a mere youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
Ali Šaul odvrati Davidu: “Ne možeš ti izaći na toga Filistejca da se boriš s njim jer si ti još dijete, a on ratnik od svoje mladosti.”
34 And David said to Saul, Your servant was tending the flock for his father; and when a lion came and a she-bear, and took a sheep out of the flock,
Ali David odgovori Šaulu: “Tvoj je sluga čuvao ovce svome ocu, pa kad bi došao lav ili medvjed te uhvatio ovcu iz stada,
35 then I went forth after him, and struck him, and drew [the spoil] out of his mouth: and as he rose up against me, then I caught hold of his throat, and struck him, and killed him.
ja bih potrčao za njim, udario ga i istrgao mu ovcu iz ralja. A ako bi se on digao na me, uhvatio bih ga za grivu i udarao ga dok ga ne bih ubio.
36 Your servant struck both the lion and the bear, and the uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them: shall I not go and strike him, and remove this day a reproach from Israel? For who [is] this uncircumcised one, who has defied the army of the living God?
I lava je i medvjeda tvoj sluga ubio, pa će i taj neobrezani Filistejac proći kao jedan od njih jer je izazvao bojne čete Boga živoga.”
37 The Lord who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this uncircumcised Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and the Lord shall be with you.
David još dometne: “Jahve koji me izbavio iz lavlje pandže i medvjeđe šape izbavit će me i iz ruku toga Filistejca.” Tada Šaul reče Davidu: “Idi i Jahve neka bude s tobom!”
38 And Saul clothed David with a military coat, and [put] his brazen helmet on his head.
Šaul obuče Davida u svoju ratnu odoru, na glavu mu ustače mjedenu kacigu i stavi mu oklop.
39 And he girded David with his sword over his coat: and he made trial walking [with them] once and again: and David said to Saul, I shall not be able to go with these, for I have not proved [them]: so they remove them from him.
Pripasa Davidu svoj mač preko odore, ali David uzalud pokuša hodati, jer ne bijaše navikao, pa reče Šaulu: “Ne mogu hodati u tome jer nisam navikao.” Zato sve skinu sa sebe.
40 And he took his staff in his hand, and he chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's scrip which he had for his store, and his sling was in his hand; and he approached the Philistine.
David uze svoj štap u ruku, izabra u potoku pet glatkih kamenova i metnu ih u svoju pastirsku torbu, koja mu je služila kao torba za praćku, te s praćkom u ruci pođe prema Filistejcu.
41 And the Philistine advanced and drew near to David, and a man bearing his shield went before him, and the Philistine looked on.
A Filistejac se sve bliže primicao Davidu, dok je njegov štitonoša stupao pred njim.
42 And Goliath saw David, and despised him; for he was a lad, and ruddy, with a fair countenance.
A kad Filistejac pogleda i vidje Davida, prezre ga s njegove mladosti - bijaše David mladić, rumen, lijepa lica.
43 And the Philistine said to David, Am I as a dog, that you come against me with a staff and stones? [and David said, Nay, but worse than a dog.] And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
Zato Filistejac reče Davidu: “Zar sam ja pseto te ideš na me sa štapovima?” I uze proklinjati Davida svojim bogovima.
44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.
Zatim Filistejac reče Davidu: “Dođi k meni da dam tvoje meso pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim!”
45 And David said to the Philistine, You come to me with sword, and with spear, and with shield; but I come to you in the name of the Lord God of hosts of the army of Israel, which you have defied
A David odgovori Filistejcu: “Ti ideš na me mačem, kopljem i sulicom, a ja idem na te u ime Jahve Sebaota, Boga Izraelovih četa koje si ti izazvao.
46 this day. And the Lord shall deliver you this day into my hand; and I will kill you, and take away your head from off you, and will give your limbs and the limbs of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and all the earth shall know that there is a God in Israel.
Danas će te Jahve predati u moju ruku, ja ću te ubiti, skinut ću tvoju glavu i još ću danas tvoje mrtvo tijelo i mrtva tjelesa filistejske vojske dati pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim. Sva će zemlja znati da ima Bog u Izraelu.
47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lord delivers not by sword or spear, for the battle [is] the Lord's, and the Lord will deliver you into our hands.
I sav će ovaj zbor znati da Jahve ne daje pobjedu mačem ni kopljem, jer je Jahve gospodar bitke i on vas predaje u naše ruke.”
48 And the Philistine arose and went to meet David.
Kad se Filistejac približio i pošao prema Davidu, izađe David iz bojnih redova i krenu pred Filistejca.
49 And David stretched out his hand to his scrip, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and struck the Philistine on his forehead, and the stone penetrated through the helmet into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to the ground.
David segnu rukom u torbu, izvadi iz nje kamen i hitnu ga iz praćke. I pogodi Filistejca u čelo; kamen mu se zabi u čelo i on pade ničice na zemlju.
50 [So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him, and there was no sword in the hand of David. ]
Tako je David praćkom i kamenom nadjačao Filistejca: udario je Filistejca i ubio ga, a nije imao mača u ruci.
51 And David ran, and stood upon him, and took his sword, and killed him, and cut off his head: and the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, and they fled.
Zato David potrča i stade na Filistejca, zgrabi njegov mač, izvuče ga iz korica i pogubi Filistejca odsjekavši mu glavu. Kad Filistejci vidješe kako pogibe njihov junak, nagnuše u bijeg.
52 And the men of Israel and Juda arose, and shouted and pursued them as far as the entrance to Geth, and as far as the gate of Ascalon: and the slain men of the Philistines fell in the way of the gates, both to Geth, and to Accaron.
Tada ustadoše Izraelci i Judejci, digoše bojnu viku i potjeraše Filistejce do opkopa oko Gata i do gradskih vrata Ekrona; filistejski mrtvaci pokriše put od Šaarajima sve do Gata i do Ekrona.
53 And the men of Israel returned from pursuing after the Philistines, and they destroyed their camp.
Nato se Izraelci vratiše iz te žestoke potjere za Filistejcima i opljačkaše njihov tabor.
54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
A David uze Filistejčevu glavu i odnese je u Jeruzalem, a oružje njegovo položi u svoj šator.
55 And when Saul saw David going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abener the captain of the host, Whose son is this youth? and Abener said, As your sould lives, O King, I know not.
Kad je Šaul vidio Davida gdje izlazi pred Filistejca, upitao je svoga vojvodu Abnera: “Čiji je sin taj mladić, Abnere?” A Abner je odgovorio: “Tako mi tvoga života, kralju, ne znam!”
56 And the king said, Do you ask whose son this youth is.
A kralj mu reče: “Raspitaj se čiji je sin taj mladić!”
57 And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abener took him and brought him before Saul, and the head of the Philistine was in his hand.
A kad se David vratio pošto je pogubio Filistejca, uze ga Abner i dovede ga pred Šaula, a u ruci David još držaše Filistejčevu glavu.
58 And Saul said to him, Whose son are you, young man? and David said, The son of your servant Jessae the Bethleemite.
Šaul ga upita: “Čiji si ti sin, momče?” A David odgovori: “Sin sam tvoga sluge Betlehemca Jišaja.”
