1 Chronicles 18
1 Some time later, David’s [army] attacked the army of Philistia and defeated them. They captured Gath [city] and the surrounding villages.
Poslije toga David porazi Filistejce i pokori ih te ote Gat s njegovim selima iz filistejskih ruku.
2 His [army] also defeated [the army of] the Moab [people-group]. The people were forced to accept David as their ruler, and also to pay money [each year to David’s government, in order that David’s army would protect them].
Porazio je i Moapce i oni postadoše Davidovi podanici koji su mu donosili danak.
3 David’s [army] also fought against [the army of] Hadadezer, the king of [the] Zobah [region in Syria] near Hamath [city], when Hadadezer was trying to establish control over the area near the Euphrates River.
David je porazio i Hadadezera, sopskoga kralja u Hamatu, kad je izišao da utvrdi svoju vlast do rijeke Eufrata.
4 David’s [army] captured 1,000 of Hadadezer’s chariots, 7,000 chariot-drivers, and 20,000 soldiers. They hamstrung/crippled most of their horses; there were only 100 horses that they did not cripple.
David zarobi od njega tisuću bojnih kola, sedam tisuća konjanika i dvadeset tisuća pješaka; ispresijecao je petne žile svim konjima od bojnih kola, ostavio ih je samo stotinu.
5 When the army of Syria came from Damascus [city] to help Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
Damaščanski su Aramejci bili došli u pomoć Hadadezeru, sopskome kralju, ali je David pobio među Aramejcima dvadeset i dvije tisuće ljudi.
6 Then David stationed groups of his soldiers in Damascus, and the people of Syria were forced to accept David as their ruler, and to pay to David’s government [each year] the payment/tax that he demanded. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles everywhere they 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 David soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by the officers of Hadadezer’s [army] and brought them to Jerusalem.
David zaplijeni zlatne štitove što ih imahu Hadadezerove sluge i donese ih u Jeruzalem.
8 They also brought from Tebah (OR, Tibhath) and Cun, two towns that belonged to Hadadezer, a lot of bronze, which [David’s son] Solomon [later] used to make the huge bronze basin and the pillars and other bronze items [for the temple].
I iz Hadadezerovih gradova Tibhata i Kuna odnio je silni tuč od kojega je Salomon načinio mjedeno more, stupove i tučano posuđe.
9 When Tou, the king of Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
Kad je čuo hamatski kralj Tou da je David porazio svu vojsku Hadadezera, sopskoga kralja,
10 he sent his son Hadoram to King David, to greet him and (congratulate him/tell him that he was happy) about his defeating Hadadezer’s army, which had been fighting [the army of] Tou. Hadoram brought to David many items/gifts made of gold, silver, and bronze.
posla svoga sina Hadorama kralju Davidu da ga pozdravi i da mu čestita što je vojevao protiv Hadadezera i porazio ga, jer je Tou bio u ratu s Hadadezerom; i da mu odnese svakojakih zlatnih, srebrnih i tučanih predmeta.
11 King David dedicated those things to Yahweh, like he had done with the silver and gold that his soldiers had taken from [the] Edom and Moab [people-groups], and from the Ammon people-group and from the people of Philistia, and from [the descendants of] Amalek.
I njih je kralj David posvetio Jahvi sa srebrom i zlatom što ga bijaše uzeo od svih naroda, od Edomaca, Moabaca, Amonaca, Filistejaca i Amalečana.
12 [One of David’s army commanders, ] Abishai, whose mother was Zeruiah, went with his army and killed 18,000 soldiers from Edom in the Salt Valley.
Sarvijin sin Abišaj pobio je osamnaest tisuća Edomaca u Slanoj dolini.
13 Then David stationed groups of his soldiers there in Edom, and the people of Edom were forced to accept David as their king and to pay money to David’s government [every year]. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles wherever they went.
David je postavio namjesnike po Edomu. Tako su svi Edomci postali Davidove sluge. I kuda je god David išao, Jahve mu davaše pobjedu.
14 David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was just and fair.
David kraljevaše nad svim Izraelom čineći pravo i pravicu svemu svome narodu.
15 Zeruiah’s son Joab was the chief army commander. Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the record-keeper.
Sarvijin je sin Joab bio zapovjednik vojske; Ahiludov sin Jošafat bijaše tajni savjetnik.
16 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the Supreme Priests. Shavsha was the official secretary.
Ahitubov sin Sadok i Ahimelekov sin Ebjatar bili su svećenici, Šavša pisar.
17 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada ruled over the Kereth and Peleth groups [who were David’s bodyguards]. And David’s sons were his most important officials.
Jojadin sin Benaja bio je nad Kerećanima i Pelećanima, a Davidovi su sinovi bili prvi do kralja.
