1 Chronicles 20
1 [In that region], kings usually went [with their armies] to fight [their enemies] (in the springtime/when the cold season ended). But that year, David [did not do that. Instead, he] stayed in Jerusalem, and he sent [his commander] Joab [to lead the army]. Joab took his troops. They [crossed the Jordan River and] ruined the land of the Ammon people-group. Then they went to Rabbah, [the capital city, ] and surrounded it. David stayed in Jerusalem [for a while. But later he took more troops and went to help] Joab. Their armies attacked Rabbah and destroyed it.
Pripetilo se je, potem ko je minilo leto, ob času, ko gredo kralji na bitko, da je Joáb vodil moč vojske in opustošil deželo Amónovih otrok in prišel ter oblegal Rabo. Toda David je ostal v Jeruzalemu. In Joáb je udaril Rabo ter jo uničil.
2 Then David took the crown from the head of the king of Rabbah (OR, from the head of their god Milcom) and put it on his own head. It [was very heavy; it] weighed (75 pounds/34 kg.), and it had many very valuable stones [fastened to it]. They also took many other valuable things from the city.
David je snel krono njihovega kralja iz njegove glave in spoznal, da tehta talent zlata in v njej so bili dragoceni kamni, in ta je bila postavljena na Davidovo glavo. In iz mesta je prinesel tudi silno mnogo plena.
3 Then they brought the people out of the city and forced them to [work for their army, ] using saws and iron picks and axes. David’s soldiers did this in all the cities of the Ammon people-group. Then David and all of his army returned to Jerusalem.
Ljudstvo, ki je bilo v njem, je privedel ven in jih razsekal z žagami, branami iz železa in sekirami. Celo tako je David postopal z vsemi mesti Amónovih otrok. In David in vse ljudstvo se je vrnilo v Jeruzalem.
4 Later, [David’s army] fought a battle with the army of Philistia, at Gezer [city]. During the battle Sibbecai, from Hushah [clan], killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rapha [giants]. So the armies of Philistia were defeated.
Pripetilo se je za tem, da se je vzdignila vojna s Filistejci pri Gezerju. Takrat je Hušán Sibeháj usmrtil Sipája, ki je bil izmed otrok velikana; in bili so podjarmljeni.
5 In another battle against the soldiers of Philistia, Elhanan, the son of Jair, killed Lahmi, the [younger] brother of [the giant] Goliath from Gath [town], who had a spear which was as thick as a weaver’s rod.
Ponovno je bila vojna s Filistejci. Jaírov sin Elhanán je usmrtil Lahmíja, brata Gitéjca Goljata, katerega kopjišče je bilo podobno tkalčevemu brunu.
6 There was another battle near Gath. A (huge man/giant) was there who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He was descended from [the] Rapha [giants].
Ponovno je bila vojna pri Gatu, kjer je bil mož visoke postave, katerega prstov in palcev je bilo štiriindvajset, šest na vsaki roki in šest na vsakem stopalu in tudi ta je bil sin velikana.
7 When he made fun of the soldiers of Israel, Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimea, killed him.
Toda ko je izzival Izraela, ga je Jonatan, Šimájajev sin, Davidov brat, usmrtil.
8 Those were some of the descendants of [the] Rapha [giants] who had lived in Gath, who were killed [MTY] by David and his soldiers.
Ti so bili rojeni velikanu v Gatu in padli so po Davidovi roki in po roki njegovih služabnikov.
