2 Samuel 8
1 And it came to pass after this, that David smote the Philistines, and humbled them: and David took Metheg-haammah out of the hand of the Philistines.
Poslije toga David porazi Filistejce i pokori ih te ote Gat s njegovim selima iz filistejskih ruku.
2 And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, laying them down on the ground; and he measured with two lines to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And the Moabites became David's servants, bringing presents.
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 David smote also Hadad'ezer, the son of Rechob, the king of Zobah, as he went to extend his territory at the river Euphrates.
David je porazio i Hadadezera, Rehobova sina, sopskoga kralja, kad je izišao da proširi svoju vlast do Rijeke.
4 And David captured from him a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand men on foot: and David hamstringed all the chariot-teams, but reserved of them a hundred chariot-teams.
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 the Syrians of Damascus then came to aid Hadad'ezer, the king of Zobah, when David slew of the Syrians twenty and two thousand men.
Damaščanski su Aramejci došli u pomoć Hadadezeru, sopskome kralju, ali je David pobio među Aramejcima dvadeset i dvije tisuće ljudi.
6 And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, bearing presents. And the Lord helped David whithersoever 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 the shields of gold that belonged to the servants of Hadad'ezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
David zaplijeni zlatne štitove što ih imahu Hadadezerove sluge i donese ih u Jeruzalem.
8 And from Betach, and from Berothai, cities of Hadad'ezer, did king David take exceedingly much copper.
Iz Tebaha i iz Berotaja, Hadadezerovih gradova, donese kralj David silni tuč.
9 And when To'i the king of Chamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadad'ezer,
Kad je čuo hamatski kralj Tou da je David porazio svu Hadadezerovu vojsku,
10 Then did To'i send Yoram his son unto king David, to ask him after his well-being, and to bless him, because that he had fought against Hadad'ezer, and smitten him; for Hadad'ezer had been engaged in wars with To'i; and he had in his hand vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of copper:
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 also did king David sanctify unto the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had sanctified from all the nations which he subdued;
I njih kralj David posveti Jahvi sa srebrom i zlatom što ga bijaše uzeo od svih naroda koje je pokorio:
12 From Syria, and from Moab, and from the children of 'Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from 'Amalek, and from the spoil of Hadad'ezer, the son of Rechob, the king of Zobah.
od Aramaca, Moabaca, Amonaca, Filistejaca i od Amalečana te od plijena Hadadezera, Rehobova sina, kralja Sobe.
13 And David acquired a name when he returned from his smiting the Syrians in the valley of salt, eighteen thousand men.
David steče novu slavu kad je na povratku porazio Edomce, u Slanoj dolini, osamnaest tisuća njih.
14 And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the Lord helped David whithersoever 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 reigned over all Israel; and David did what is just and right unto all his people.
David kraljevaše nad svim Izraelom, čineći pravo i pravicu svemu svome narodu.
16 And Joab the son of Zeruyah was over the army; and Jehoshaphat the son of Achilud was recorder;
Joab, sin Sarvijin, zapovijedaše vojskom, a Jošafat, sin Ahiludov, bijaše ljetopisac.
17 And Zadok the son of Achitub, and Achimelech the son of Ebyathar, were priests; and Serayah was scribe;
Sadok, sin Ahitubov, i Ebjatar, sin Ahimelekov, bijahu svećenici; Seraja bijaše državni pisar;
18 And Banayahu the son of Yehoyada' was over both the Kerethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were officers of state.
Benaja, sin Jojadin, zapovijedaše Kerećanima i Pelećanima; Davidovi sinovi bijahu namjesnici.
