1 Samuel 17
1 And the Philistines gather their camps to battle, and are gathered to Shochoh, which [is] to Judah, and encamp between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephes-Dammim;
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 have been gathered, and encamp by the Valley of Elah, and set in array [for] battle to meet the Philistines.
A Šaul i Izraelci skupiše se i utaboriše u Terebintskoj dolini, i svrstaše se za boj protiv Filistejaca.
3 And the Philistines are standing on the mountain on this [side], and Israel is standing on the mountain on that [side], and the valley [is] between them.
Filistejci su stajali na gori s jedne strane, Izraelci na gori s druge strane, a dolina bila među njima.
4 And a man goes out, the champion from the camps of the Philistines, his name [is] Goliath, from Gath; his height [is] six cubits and a span [[or 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 a helmet of bronze [is] on his head, and he is clothed [with] a scaled coat of mail, and the weight of the coat of mail [is] five thousand shekels of bronze,
Na glavi je imao mjedenu kacigu, obučen je bio u ljuskav oklop, a oklop mu težak pet tisuća mjedenih šekela.
6 and a frontlet of bronze [is] on his feet, and a javelin of bronze between his shoulders,
Na nogama je imao mjedene nogavice, a na ramenima mjedenu sulicu.
7 and the wood of his spear [is] like a weavers’ beam, and the flame of his spear [is] six hundred shekels of iron, and the bearer of the buckler is going 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 stands and calls to the ranks of Israel, and says to them, “Why do you come out to set in array for battle? [Am] I not the Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, 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 if he is able to fight with me, and has struck me, then we have been for servants to you; and if I prevail against him, and have struck him, then you have been for servants to us, and have served 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 says, “I have reproached the ranks of Israel this day; give a man to me and we fight together!”
Još je Filistejac rekao: “Ja sam danas izazvao Izraelove bojne redove. Dajte mi čovjeka da se ogledamo u dvoboju!”
11 And Saul hears—and all Israel—these words of the Philistine, and they are broken down and greatly afraid.
Kad je Šaul i sav Izrael čuo što je rekao Filistejac, obuze ih strah i drhat.
12 And David [is] son of this Ephraimite of Beth-Lehem-Judah, whose name [is] Jesse, and he has eight sons, and the man has become aged among 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 eldest sons of Jesse go, they have gone after Saul to battle; and the name of his three sons who have gone into battle [are] Eliab the firstborn, and his second Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
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 is the youngest, and the three eldest have gone after Saul,
David bijaše najmlađi. A tri najstarija bijahu otišla za Šaulom. -
15 and David is going and returning from Saul, to feed the flock of his father at Beth-Lehem.
David je odlazio k Šaulu i vraćao se iz njegove službe da pase stada svoga oca u Betlehemu.
16 And the Philistine draws near, morning and evening, and stations himself [for] forty days.
A Filistejac izlazio svakoga jutra i večeri i postavljao se tako četrdeset dana. -
17 And Jesse says to his son David, “Now take an ephah of this roasted [grain] and these ten loaves for your brothers, and run to the camp 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 take these ten cuttings of the cheese to the head of the one thousand, and inspect your brothers for welfare, and receive their pledge.”
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, and they, and all the men of Israel, [are] in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
Oni su sa Šaulom i svim Izraelom u Terebintskoj dolini: vojuju protiv Filistejaca.”
20 And David rises early in the morning, and leaves the flock to a keeper, and lifts up, and goes, as Jesse commanded him, and he comes to the path, and to the force which is going out to the rank, and they have shouted for 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 set in array rank to meet rank.
Izraelci i Filistejci svrstaše se u bojni red jedni prema drugima.
22 And David lets down the goods from off him on the hand of a keeper of the goods, and runs into the rank, and comes and asks of his brothers of [their] welfare.
David ostavi svoje stvari čuvaru opreme pa otrča u bojni red. Došavši, zapita svoju braću za zdravlje.
23 And he is speaking with them, and behold, a man, the champion, is coming up, his name [is] Goliath the Philistine, from Gath, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and he speaks according to those words, and David hears;
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 see the man, flee from his presence, and are greatly afraid.
A čim su Izraelci ugledali toga čovjeka, pobjegoše svi daleko od njega i strah ih uhvati.
25 And the men of Israel say, “Have you seen this man who is coming up? For he is coming up to reproach Israel, and it has been—the man who strikes him, the king enriches him with great riches, and he gives his daughter to him, and makes 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 speaks to the men who are standing by him, saying, “What is done to the man who strikes this Philistine, and has turned aside reproach from Israel? For who [is] this uncircumcised Philistine that he has reproached the ranks 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 speak to him according to this word, saying, “Thus it is done to the man who strikes him.”
A narod mu odgovori istim riječima kao prije: “Eto to će dobiti čovjek koji ga pogubi.”
28 And Eliab, his eldest brother, hears when he speaks to the men, and the anger of Eliab burns against David, and he says, “Why [is] this—[that] you have come down? And to whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I have known your pride, and the evil of your heart—for you have 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 says, “What have I done now? Is it not a word?”
A David odgovori: “A što sam učinio? Zar se ne smije ni riječ reći?”
30 And he turns around from him to another, and says according to this word, and the people return him word as the first word.
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 has spoken are heard, and they declare [them] before Saul, and he receives him;
Kad su ljudi čuli što je govorio David, jave to Šaulu, a on ga pozva preda se.
32 and David says to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fall because of him, your servant goes, and has fought 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 says to David, “You are not able to go to this Philistine, to fight with him, for you [are] a youth, and he [has been] 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 says to Saul, “Your servant has been a shepherd among the sheep for his father, and the lion has come—and the bear—and has taken away a sheep out of the drove,
Ali David odgovori Šaulu: “Tvoj je sluga čuvao ovce svome ocu, pa kad bi došao lav ili medvjed te uhvatio ovcu iz stada,
35 and I have gone out after him, and struck him, and delivered [it] out of his mouth, and he rises against me, and I have taken hold on his beard, and struck him, and put him to death.
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 has struck both the lion and the bear, and this uncircumcised Philistine has been as one of them, for he has reproached the ranks 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 And David says, “YHWH, who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, He delivers me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul says to David, “Go, and YHWH is 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 clothes David with his long robe, and has put a helmet of bronze on his head, and clothes him with a coat of mail.
Šaul obuče Davida u svoju ratnu odoru, na glavu mu ustače mjedenu kacigu i stavi mu oklop.
39 And David girded his sword above his long robe, and begins to go, for he has not tried [it]; and David says to Saul, “I am not able to go with these, for I had not tried”; and David turns them aside from off 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 takes his staff in his hand, and chooses five smooth stones for himself from the brook, and puts them in the shepherds’ vessel that he has, even in the leather pouch, and his sling [is] in his hand, and he draws near to 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 goes on, going and drawing near to David, and the man carrying the buckler [is] before him,
A Filistejac se sve bliže primicao Davidu, dok je njegov štitonoša stupao pred njim.
42 and the Philistine looks attentively, and sees David, and despises him, for he was a youth, and ruddy, with a handsome appearance.
A kad Filistejac pogleda i vidje Davida, prezre ga s njegove mladosti - bijaše David mladić, rumen, lijepa lica.
43 And the Philistine says to David, “Am I a dog that you are coming to me with sticks?” And the Philistine reviles 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 says to David, “Come to me, and I give your flesh to the bird of the heavens, and to the beast of the field.”
Zatim Filistejac reče Davidu: “Dođi k meni da dam tvoje meso pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim!”
45 And David says to the Philistine, “You are coming to me with sword, and with spear, and with buckler, and I am coming to you in the Name of YHWH of Hosts, God of the ranks of Israel, which you have reproached!
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 YHWH shuts you up into my hand—and I have struck you, and turned aside your head from off you, and given the carcass of the camp of the Philistines this day to the bird of the heavens, and to the beast of the earth, and all the earth knows that God is for 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 knows that YHWH does not save by sword and by spear, for the battle [is] YHWH’s, and He has given you into our hand.”
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 it has come to pass, that the Philistine has risen, and goes, and draws near to meet David, and David hurries and runs to the rank to meet the Philistine,
Kad se Filistejac približio i pošao prema Davidu, izađe David iz bojnih redova i krenu pred Filistejca.
49 and David puts forth his hand into the vessel, and takes a stone from there, and slings, and strikes the Philistine on his forehead, and the stone sinks into his forehead, and he falls on his face to the earth.
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 And David is stronger than the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and strikes the Philistine, and puts him to death, and there is 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 runs and stands over the Philistine, and takes his sword, and draws it out of its sheath, and puts him to death, and cuts off his head with it; and the Philistines see that their hero [is] dead, and flee.
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 rise—also Judah—and shout, and pursue the Philistines until you enter the valley, and to the gates of Ekron, and the wounded of the Philistines fall in the way of Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron,
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 sons of Israel return from burning after the Philistines, and spoil their camps.
Nato se Izraelci vratiše iz te žestoke potjere za Filistejcima i opljačkaše njihov tabor.
54 And David takes the head of the Philistine, and brings it to Jerusalem, and he has put his weapons in his own tent.
A David uze Filistejčevu glavu i odnese je u Jeruzalem, a oružje njegovo položi u svoj šator.
55 And when Saul sees David going out to meet the Philistine, he has said to Abner, head of the host, “Whose son [is] this—the youth, Abner?” And Abner says, “Your soul lives, O king, I have not known.”
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 says, “Ask whose son this [is]—the young man.”
A kralj mu reče: “Raspitaj se čiji je sin taj mladić!”
57 And when David turns back from striking the Philistine, then Abner takes him and brings him in before Saul, and the head of the Philistine [is] 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 says to him, “Whose son [are] you, O youth?” And David says, “Son of your servant Jesse, the Beth-Lehemite.”
Šaul ga upita: “Čiji si ti sin, momče?” A David odgovori: “Sin sam tvoga sluge Betlehemca Jišaja.”
