1 Samuel 17
1 The Philistines gathered their army [to fight the Israeli army]. They gathered together near Socoh, in the area where the descendants of Judah lived. They set up their tents at Ephes-Dammim, which is between Socoh and Azekah.
Tada Filisteji skupiše vojsku svoju da vojuju, i skupiše se u Sokotu Judinu, i stadoše u oko izmeðu Sokota i Azike na meði Damimskoj.
2 Saul gathered the Israeli army near Elah Valley, and they set up their tents. Then they all took their places, ready to fight the Philistines.
A Saul i Izrailjci skupiše se i stadoše u oko u dolini Ili, i uvrstaše se prema Filistejima.
3 So the Philistine and Israeli armies faced each other. They were on two hills, with a valley between them.
I Filisteji stajahu na brdu odonuda a Izrailjci stajahu na brdu odovuda, a meðu njima bješe dolina.
4 Then Goliath, from Gath [city], came out from the Philistine camp. He was a champion warrior/soldier. He was (over 9 feet/3 meters) tall.
I izide iz okola Filistejskoga jedan zatoènik po imenu Golijat iz Gata, visok šest lakata i ped.
5 He wore a helmet made of bronze [to protect his head], and he wore a coat made of metal plates [to protect his body]. The coat weighed (125 pounds/56 kg.).
I na glavi mu bješe kapa od mjedi, i oklop ploèast na njemu od mjedi; i bijaše oklop težak pet tisuæa sikala.
6 He wore bronze guards/protectors on his legs. He had a long bronze dagger fastened on his back.
I nogavice od mjedi bjehu mu na nogu, i štit od mjedi na ramenima.
7 He also had a big spear. It had a cord on it to enable him to throw it better (OR, which was as thick as a weaver’s beam). The tip of the spear was made of iron and weighed (15 pounds/almost 7 kg.). A soldier carrying a huge shield walked in front of him.
A kopljaèa od koplja mu bješe kao vratilo, a gvožða u koplju mu bješe šest stotina sikala; i koji mu oružje nošaše iðaše pred njim.
8 Goliath stood there and shouted to the Israeli army, “Why are you all lined up for battle? I am the great Philistine [soldier], and I think [RHQ] you are [merely] Saul’s slaves. Choose one man to fight for all of you, and send him down here to me!
On stavši vikaše vojsku Izrailjsku, i govoraše im: što ste izašli uvrstavši se? nijesam li ja Filistejin a vi sluge Saulove? izberite jednoga izmeðu sebe, pa neka izaðe k meni.
9 If he fights with me and kills me, then my fellow Philistines will all be your slaves. But if I defeat him and kill him, then you Israelis will all be our slaves.
Ako me nadjaèa i pogubi me, mi æemo vam biti sluge; ako li ja njega nadjaèam i pogubim ga, onda æete vi biti nama sluge, i služiæete nam.
10 I defy/challenge you men of the Israeli army. Send me a man who will fight with me!”
Još govoraše Filistejin: ja osramotih danas vojsku Izrailjsku; dajte mi èovjeka da se bijemo.
11 When Saul and all the Israeli soldiers heard that, they were extremely terrified [DOU].
A kad Saul i sav Izrailj èu šta reèe Filistejin, prepadoše se i uplašiše se vrlo.
12 David was the son of Jesse. Jesse was from the clan of Ephrath. He lived in Bethlehem, in the area where the descendants of Judah lived. Jesse had eight sons. When Saul [was king], Jesse had already become a very old man [DOU].
A bijaše David sin jednoga Efraæanina, iz Vitlejema Judina, kojemu ime bješe Jesej, koji imaše osam sinova i bijaše u vrijeme Saulovo star i vremenit meðu ljudima.
13 Jesse’s three oldest sons, Eliab and Abinadab and Shammah, had gone with Saul to fight [the Philistines].
I tri najstarija sina Jesejeva otidoše za Saulom na vojsku; a imena trojici sinova njegovijeh koji otidoše na vojsku bijahu prvencu Elijav a drugome Avinadav a treæemu Sama.
14 David was Jesse’s youngest son. While his three oldest brothers were with Saul,
A David bijaše najmlaði. I ona tri najstarija otidoše za Saulom.
15 David went back and forth: Sometimes he went to Saul’s camp, and sometimes he stayed in Bethlehem to take care of his father’s sheep.
A David otide od Saula i vrati se u Vitlejem da pase ovce oca svojega.
16 For 40 days Goliath came out from the Philistine camp and stood there [taunting the Israeli army/telling the Israelis to choose one man to fight with him]. He did it twice each day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
A Filistejin izlažaše jutrom i veèerom, i staja èetrdeset dana.
17 [One day], Jesse said to David, “Here is a sack of roasted grain and ten loaves of bread. Take these quickly to your [older] brothers.
A Jesej reèe Davidu sinu svojemu: uzmi sada za braæu svoju efu ovoga prženoga žita i ovijeh deset hljebova, i odnesi brže u oko braæi svojoj.
18 And here are ten large chunks of cheese. Take them to their commander. And see how things are going with your [older] brothers. Then [if they are okay, ] bring back something to show they are all right.”
A ovijeh deset mladijeh siraca odnesi tisuæniku, i vidi braæu svoju kako su, i donesi od njih znak.
19 His brothers were with Saul and all the other Israeli soldiers, camped alongside Elah Valley, [preparing to] fight the Philistines.
A Saul i oni i sav Izrailj bijahu u dolini Ili ratujuæi s Filistejima.
20 So David arranged for another shepherd to take care of the sheep. Early the next morning he took the food and went to the Israeli camp, as Jesse told him to do. He arrived there just as the Israeli soldiers were forming their ranks and going out to the battlefield. As they went, they were shouting a war cry.
I tako David usta rano i ostavi ovce na èuvaru; pa uze i otide kako mu zapovjedi Jesej; i doðe na mjesto gdje bješe oko, i vojska izlažaše da se vrsta za boj, i podizaše ubojnu viku.
21 The Philistine army and the Israeli army stood [on the hillsides], facing each other, ready for the battle.
I stajaše vojska Izrailjska i Filistejska jedna prema drugoj.
22 David gave the food to the man who was taking care of the war equipment. [He told him to take care of the food that he brought], and then he went and greeted his older brothers.
Tada ostavi David svoj prtljag kod èuvara, koji èuvaše prtljag, i otrèa u vojsku, i doðe i zapita braæu svoju za zdravlje.
23 While he was talking with them, he saw Goliath coming out from among the Philistine soldiers, shouting [to the Israelis], challenging them [to send a man to fight him]. David heard what Goliath was saying.
I dokle govoraše s njima, gle, onaj zatoènik po imenu Golijat Filistejin iz Gata, izide iz vojske Filistejske i govoraše kao prije, i David èu.
24 When all the Israeli soldiers saw Goliath, they were terrified and started to ran away.
A svi Izrailjci kad vidješe toga èovjeka, uzbjegoše od njega, i bješe ih strah veoma.
25 They were saying to each other, “Look at him coming up toward us! And listen to him as he defies us Israelis! The king says that he will give a big reward to whoever kills this man. He also says that he will give his daughter to that man for him to marry her, and that he will no longer require that man’s family to pay taxes.”
I govorahu Izrailjci: vidjeste li toga èovjeka što izide? Jer izide da sramoti Izrailja. A ko bi ga pogubio, car bi mu dao silno blago, i kæer svoju dao bi mu; i oslobodio bi dom oca njegova u Izrailju.
26 David talked to some of the men who were standing near him. He said, “What will be given to whoever kills this Philistine and frees us Israelis from this shame/disgrace? And who [does] this heathen Philistine [think he] is, defying/ridiculing the army that serves the all-powerful God?”
Tada reèe David ljudima koji stajahu oko njega govoreæi: šta æe se uèiniti èovjeku koji pogubi toga Filistejina i skine sramotu s Izrailja? Jer ko je taj Filistejin neobrezani da sramoti vojsku Boga živoga?
27 They told him the same thing that the other men had said, about what the king would do for anyone who killed Goliath.
A narod mu odgovori iste rijeèi govoreæi: to æe se uèiniti onome ko ga pogubi.
28 But when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard David talking to the men, he was angry. He said to David, “Why have you come down here? Is someone taking care of those few sheep that you left in the desert? I know you are just a (smart-aleck/brat)! You just want to watch the battle!”
A kad èu Elijav brat njegov najstariji kako se razgovara s tijem ljudima, razljuti se Elijav na Davida, i reèe mu: što si došao? i na kom si ostavio ono malo ovaca u pustinji? znam ja obijest tvoju i zloæu srca tvojega; došao si da vidiš boj.
29 David replied, “Have I done something wrong? I was merely asking a question!”
A David reèe: šta sam sad uèinio? zapovjeðeno mi je.
30 Then he walked over to another man and asked him the same question, but the man gave him the same answer. Each time he asked someone, he received the same answer.
Potom okrenu se od njega k drugome i zapita kao prije; i narod mu odgovori kao prije.
31 Finally, someone told king Saul what David had asked, and Saul sent someone to bring David to him.
I kad se èuše rijeèi koje govoraše David, javiše ih Saulu, a on ga dozva k sebi.
32 David told king Saul, “No one should (worry/become a coward) because of that Philistine man. I will go and fight with him!”
I David reèe Saulu: neka se niko ne plaši od onoga; sluga æe tvoj izaæi i biæe se s Filistejinom.
33 Saul said to David, “You are only a young man, and he has been a very capable soldier all his life. So you are not able to go and fight with him!”
A Saul reèe Davidu: ne možeš ti iæi na Filistejina da se biješ s njim, jer si ti dijete a on je vojnik od mladosti svoje.
34 David replied, “I have been taking care of my father’s sheep [for many years]. Whenever a lion or a bear came and carried away a lamb,
A David reèe Saulu: sluga je tvoj pasao ovce oca svojega; pa kad doðe lav ili medvjed i odnese ovcu iz stada,
35 I went after the lion or the bear and attacked it and rescued the lamb from the wild animal’s mouth. Then I grabbed the animal by its jaw/throat and struck it and killed it.
Ja potrèah za njim, i udarih ga i oteh mu iz èeljusti; i kad bi skoèio na me, uhvatih ga za grlo, te ga bih i ubih.
36 I have killed both lions and bears. And [I will do] the same to this heathen Philistine, because he has defied/ridiculed the army of the all-powerful God!
I lava i medvjeda ubijao je tvoj sluga, pa æe i taj Filistejin neobrezani proæi kao oni; jer osramoti vojsku Boga živoga.
37 Yahweh has rescued me from paws of lions and bears, and he will rescue me from this Philistine!” Then Saul said to David, “All right, go [and fight him], and [I hope/desire] that Yahweh will help you!”
Još reèe David: Gospod koji me je saèuvao od lava i medvjeda, on æe me saèuvati i od ovoga Filistejina. Tada reèe Saul Davidu: idi, i Gospod neka bude s tobom.
38 Then Saul gave to David his own clothes that he always wore in battles, and he gave him a bronze helmet and a coat made of metal plates.
I Saul dade Davidu svoje oružje, i metnu mu na glavu kapu svoju od mjedi i metnu oklop na nj.
39 David [put these things on. Then he] fastened his sword over them, and tried to walk. But he could not walk, because he was not accustomed to wearing those things. So David said to Saul, “I cannot fight wearing all these things, because I am not accustomed to [wearing] them!” So he took them off.
I pripasa David maè njegov preko svojega odijela i poðe, ali ne bješe navikao, pa reèe David Saulu: ne mogu iæi s tijem, jer nijesam navikao. Pa skide David sa sebe.
40 Then he took his walking/shepherd’s stick, and he picked up five smooth stones from the brook/stream. He put them in the pouch of his shoulder-bag. Then he put his sling in his hand and started walking toward Goliath.
I uze štap svoj u ruku, i izabra na potoku pet glatkih kamena i metnu ih u torbu pastirsku, koju imaše, i uze praæu svoju u ruku, i tako poðe ka Filistejinu.
41 Goliath walked toward David, with the soldier who was carrying his shield walking in front of him. When he got near David,
A i Filistejin iðaše sve bliže k Davidu, a èovjek koji mu nošaše oružje, iðaše pred njim.
42 he looked at David closely. He saw that David had a handsome face and healthy body, but that he was only a young man. So he sneered at David.
A kad Filistejin pogleda i vidje Davida, potsmjehnu mu se, što bješe mlad i smeð i lijepa lica.
43 He said to David, “Are you coming to me with a stick because [you think that] I am a dog?” Then he called out to his gods to harm David.
I reèe Filistejin Davidu: eda li sam pseto, te ideš na me sa štapom? I proklinjaše Filistejin Davida bogovima svojim.
44 He said to David, “Come here to me, and I will [kill you and] give your dead body to the birds and wild animals to eat!”
I reèe Filistejin Davidu: hodi k meni da dam tijelo tvoje pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim.
45 David replied, “You are coming to me with a sword and a dagger and a spear. But I am coming to you (in the name/with the authority) of almighty Yahweh. He is the God whom the army of Israel [worships], and he is the God whom you have defied/ridiculed.
A David reèe Filistejinu: ti ideš na me s maèem i s kopljem i sa štitom; a ja idem na te u ime Gospoda nad vojskama, Boga vojske Izrailjeve, kojega si ružio.
46 Today Yahweh will enable me to defeat you. I will strike you down and cut off your head. And [we Israelis will kill] many Philistine [soldiers and] give their bodies to the birds and wild animals to eat. And everyone in the world will [hear about it and] know that we Israeli people worship an [all-powerful] God.
Danas æe te Gospod dati meni u ruke, i ubiæu te, i skinuæu glavu s tebe, i daæu danas tjelesa vojske Filistejske pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim, i poznaæe sva zemlja da je Bog u Izrailju.
47 And everyone here will know that Yahweh can rescue people without a sword or a spear. Yahweh always wins his battles, and he will enable us to defeat all of you [Philistines].”
I znaæe sav ovaj zbor da Gospod ne spasava maèem ni kopljem, jer je rat Gospodnji, zato æe vas dati nama u ruke.
48 As Goliath came closer to attack David, David ran quickly toward him.
A kad se Filistejin podiže i doðe bliže k Davidu, David brže istrèa na bojište pred Filistejina.
49 He put his hand into his shoulder-bag and took out one stone. He [put it in his sling and] hurled it toward Goliath. The stone hit Goliath on the forehead and penetrated his skull, and he fell face down onto the ground.
I David turi ruku svoju u torbu svoju, i izvadi iz nje kamen, i baci ga iz praæe, i pogodi Filistejina u èelo i uðe mu kamen u èelo, te pade nièice na zemlju.
50 Then David ran and stood over Goliath. He pulled Goliath’s sword from its sheath and killed him with it, and then cut off his head. In that way David defeated the Philistine without having his own sword. He used [only] a sling and a stone! When the other Philistines saw that their great warrior was dead, they ran away.
Tako David praæom i kamenom nadjaèa Filistejina, i udari Filistejina i ubi ga; a nemaše David maèa u ruci.
I pritrèav David stade na Filistejina, i zgrabi maè njegov i izvuèe ga iz korica i pogubi ga i otsijeèe mu glavu. A Filisteji kad vidješe gdje pogibe junak njihov pobjegoše.
52 The Israeli men shouted and ran after them. They pursued them all the way to Gath and to the gates of Ekron [city]. They struck them as they went, with the result that dead/wounded Philistines were lying on the road all the way from Shaaraim to Gath and Ekron [towns].
A Izrailjci i Judejci ustaše i povikaše i potjeraše Filisteje do doline i do vrata Akaronskih; i padaše pobijeni Filisteji po putu Sarajimskom do Gata i do Akarona.
53 When the Israelis returned from chasing the Philistines, they (plundered/took everything from) the Philistine camp.
Potom se vratiše sinovi Izrailjevi tjeravši Filisteje, i oplijeniše oko njihov.
54 David later took the head of Goliath to Jerusalem, but he kept Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.
A David uze glavu Filistejinovu, i odnese je u Jerusalim, a oružje njegovo ostavi u svojoj kolibi.
55 As Saul watched David going toward Goliath, he said to Abner, the commanded of his army, “Abner, whose son is that young man?” Abner replied, “(As sure as you are alive/Truly) [IDM], I do not know.”
A kad Saul vidje Davida gdje ide pred Filistejina, reèe Aveniru vojvodi: èiji je sin taj mladiæ, Avenire? A Avenir reèe: kako je živa duša tvoja, care, ne znam.
56 Then the king said, “Find out whose son he is!”
A car reèe: pitaj èiji je sin taj mladiæ.
57 [Later, ] as David returned from killing Goliath, Abner took him to Saul. David was carrying Goliath’s head.
A kad se vrati David pogubivši Filistejina, uze ga Avenir i izvede ga pred Saula, a u ruci mu bješe glava Filistejinova.
58 Saul asked him, “Young man, whose son are you?” David replied, “[Sir, perhaps you have forgotten that] I am the son of your servant Jesse, who has served you faithfully, who lives in Bethlehem.”
I Saul reèe mu: èiji si sin, dijete? A David reèe: ja sam sin sluge tvojega Jeseja Vitlejemca.
