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.
A poslije toga pobi David Filisteje i pokori ih, i uze Gat i sela njegova iz ruku Filistejskih.
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].
Pobi i Moavce, i postaše Moavci sluge Davidove i plaæahu mu 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.
Razbi David i Adar-Ezera cara Sovskoga u Ematu izašav da raširi vlast svoju do rijeke Efrata.
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.
I uze mu David tisuæu kola i sedam tisuæa konjika i dvadeset tisuæa pješaka, i podreza David žile svijem konjma kolskim, samo ostavi za sto kola.
5 When the army of Syria came from Damascus [city] to help Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
A bijahu došli Sirci iz Damaska u pomoæ Adar-Ezeru caru Sovskomu, i David pobi dvadeset i dvije tisuæe Siraca.
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.
I namjesti David vojsku u Siriji što je pod Damaskom, i Sirci postaše sluge Davidove plaæajuæi mu danak. I Gospod èuvaše Davida kuda god iðaše.
7 David soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by the officers of Hadadezer’s [army] and brought them to Jerusalem.
I David uze zlatne štitove koje imahu sluge Adar-Ezerove, i donese ih u Jerusalim.
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 Tivata i iz Huna gradova Adar-Ezerovijeh odnese David silnu mjed, od koje Solomun naèini more mjedeno i stupove i posuðe mjedeno.
9 When Tou, the king of Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
A kad èu Toja car Ematski da je David pobio svu vojsku Adar-Ezera cara Sovskoga,
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 Adorama sina svojega k caru Davidu da ga pozdravi i da mu èestita što je vojevao na Adar-Ezera i ubio ga, jer Toja imaše rat s Adar-Ezerom, i svakojakih zaklada zlatnijeh i srebrnijeh i mjedenijeh.
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.
Pa i to car David posveti Gospodu sa srebrom i zlatom što bješe uzeo od svijeh naroda, od Edomaca i od Moavaca i od sinova Amonovijeh i od Filisteja i od Amalika.
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.
I Avisaj sin Serujin pobi osamnaest tisuæa Idumejaca 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.
I namjesti vojsku po Idumeji, i svi Idumejci postaše sluge Davidove. I Gospod èuvaše Davida kuda god iðaše.
14 David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was just and fair.
Tako carova David nad svijem Izrailjem sudeæi i dajuæi pravdu svemu narodu svojemu.
15 Zeruiah’s son Joab was the chief army commander. Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the record-keeper.
I Joav sin Serujin bješe nad vojskom, a Josafat sin Ahiludov pametar,
16 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the Supreme Priests. Shavsha was the official secretary.
A Sadok sin Ahitovov i Avimeleh sin Avijatarov sveštenici, a Susa 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.
A Venaja sin Jodajev bješe nad Heretejima i Feletejima, a sinovi Davidovi prvi do cara.
