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.
Тада Филистеји скупише војску своју да војују, и скупише се у Сокоту Јудином, и стадоше у логор између Сокота и Азике на међи дамимској.
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.
А Саул и Израиљци скупише се и стадоше у логор у долини Или, и уврсташе се према Филистејима.
3 So the Philistine and Israeli armies faced each other. They were on two hills, with a valley between them.
И Филистеји стајаху на брду одонуда а Израиљци стајаху на брду одовуда, а међу њима беше долина.
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.
И изађе из логора филистејског један заточник по имену Голијат из Гата, висок шест лаката и пед.
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.).
И на глави му беше капа од бронзе, и оклоп плочаст на њему од бронзе; и беше оклоп тежак пет хиљада сикала.
6 He wore bronze guards/protectors on his legs. He had a long bronze dagger fastened on his back.
И ногавице од бронзе беху му на ногама, и штит од бронзе на раменима.
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.
А копљача од копља му беше као вратило, а гвожђа у копљу му беше шест стотина сикала; и који му оружје ношаше иђаше пред њим.
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!
Он ставши викаше војску израиљску, и говораше им: Што сте изашли уврставши се? Нисам ли ја Филистејин а ви слуге Саулове? Изберите једног између себе, па нека изађе к мени.
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.
Ако ме надјача и погуби ме, ми ћемо вам бити слуге; ако ли ја њега надјачам и погубим га, онда ћете ви бити нама слуге, и служићете нам.
10 I defy/challenge you men of the Israeli army. Send me a man who will fight with me!”
Још говораше Филистејин: Ја осрамотих данас војску израиљску: дајте ми човека да се бијемо.
11 When Saul and all the Israeli soldiers heard that, they were extremely terrified [DOU].
А кад Саул и сав Израиљ чу шта рече Филистејин, препадоше се и уплашише се врло.
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].
А беше Давид син једног Ефраћанина, из Витлејема Јудиног, коме име беше Јесеј, који имаше осам синова и беше у време Саулово стар и временит међу људима.
13 Jesse’s three oldest sons, Eliab and Abinadab and Shammah, had gone with Saul to fight [the Philistines].
И три најстарија сина Јесејева отидоше за Саулом на војску; а имена тројици синова његових који отидоше на војску беху првенцу Елијав а другом Авинадав а трећем Сама.
14 David was Jesse’s youngest son. While his three oldest brothers were with Saul,
А Давид беше најмлађи. И она три најстарија отидоше за Саулом.
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.
А Давид отиде од Саула и врати се у Витлејем да пасе овце оца свог.
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.
А Филистејин излажаше јутром и вечером, и стаја четрдесет дана.
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.
А Јесеј рече Давиду, сину свом: Узми сада за браћу своју ефу овог прженог жита и ових десет хлебова, и однеси брже у логор браћи својој.
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.”
А ових десет младих сираца однеси хиљаднику, и види браћу своју како су, и донеси од њих знак.
19 His brothers were with Saul and all the other Israeli soldiers, camped alongside Elah Valley, [preparing to] fight the Philistines.
А Саул и они и сав Израиљ беху у долини Или ратујући с Филистејима.
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.
И тако Давид уста рано и остави овце на чувару; па узе и отиде како му заповеди Јесеј; и дође на место где беше логор, и војска излажаше да се врста за бој, и подизаше убојну вику.
21 The Philistine army and the Israeli army stood [on the hillsides], facing each other, ready for the battle.
И стајаше војска израиљска и филистејска једна према другој.
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.
Тада остави Давид свој пртљаг код чувара који чуваше пртљаг и отрча у војску, и дође и запита браћу своју за здравље.
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.
И докле говораше с њима, гле, онај заточник по имену Голијат Филистејин из Гата, изађе из војске филистејске и говораше као пре, и Давид чу.
24 When all the Israeli soldiers saw Goliath, they were terrified and started to ran away.
А сви Израиљци кад видеше тог човека, узбегоше од њега, и беше их страх веома.
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.”
И говораху Израиљци: Видесте ли тог човека што изађе? Јер изађе да срамоти Израиља. А ко би га погубио, цар би му дао силно благо, и кћер своју дао би му; и ослободио би дом оца његовог у Израиљу.
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?”
Тада рече Давид људима који стајаху око њега говорећи: Шта ће се учинити човеку који погуби тог Филистејина и скине срамоту с Израиља? Јер ко је тај Филистејин необрезани да срамоти војску Бога Живог?
27 They told him the same thing that the other men had said, about what the king would do for anyone who killed Goliath.
А народ му одговори исте речи говорећи: То ће се учинити ономе ко га погуби.
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!”
А кад чу Елијав брат његов најстарији како се разговара с тим људима, разљути се Елијав на Давида, и рече му: Што си дошао? И на коме си оставио оно мало оваца у пустињи? Знам ја обест твоју и злоћу срца твог; дошао си да видиш бој.
29 David replied, “Have I done something wrong? I was merely asking a question!”
А Давид рече: Шта сам сад учинио? Заповеђено ми је.
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.
Потом окрену се од њега к другом и запита као пре; и народ му одговори као пре.
31 Finally, someone told king Saul what David had asked, and Saul sent someone to bring David to him.
И кад чуше речи које говораше Давид, јавише их Саулу, а он га дозва к себи.
32 David told king Saul, “No one should (worry/become a coward) because of that Philistine man. I will go and fight with him!”
И Давид рече Саулу: Нека се нико не плаши од оног; слуга ће твој изаћи и биће се с Филистејином.
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!”
А Саул рече Давиду: Не можеш ти ићи на Филистејина да се бијеш с њим, јер си ти дете а он је војник од младости своје.
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,
А Давид рече Саулу: Слуга је твој пасао овце оца свог; па кад дође лав или медвед и однесе овцу из стада,
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.
Ја потрчах за њим, и ударих га и отех му из чељусти; и кад би скочио на ме; ухватих га за грло, те га бих и убих.
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!
И лава и медведа убијао је твој слуга, па ће и тај Филистејин необрезани проћи као они; јер осрамоти војску Бога Живог.
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!”
Још рече Давид: Господ који ме је сачувао од лава и медведа, Он ће ме сачувати и од овог Филистејина. Тада рече Саул Давиду: Иди, и Господ нека буде с тобом.
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.
И Саул даде Давиду своје оружје, и метну му на главу капу своју од бронзе и метну оклоп на њ.
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.
И припаса Давид мач његов преко свог одела и пође, али не беше навикао, па рече Давид Саулу: Не могу ићи с тим, јер нисам навикао. Па скиде Давид са себе.
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.
И узе штап свој у руку, и изабра на потоку пет глатких камена и метну их у торбу пастирску, коју имаше, и узе праћу своју у руку, и тако пође ка Филистејину.
41 Goliath walked toward David, with the soldier who was carrying his shield walking in front of him. When he got near David,
А и Филистејин иђаше све ближе к Давиду, а човек који му ношаше оружје, иђаше пред њим.
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.
А кад Филистејин погледа и виде Давида, подсмехну му се, што беше млад и смеђ и лепог лица.
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.
И рече Филистејин Давиду: Еда ли сам псето, те идеш на ме са штапом? И проклињаше Филистејин Давида боговима својим.
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!”
И рече Филистејин Давиду: Ходи к мени да дам тело твоје птицама небеским и зверима земаљским.
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.
А Давид рече Филистејину: Ти идеш на ме с мачем и с копљем и са штитом; а ја идем на те у име Господа над војскама, Бога војске Израиљеве, ког си ружио.
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.
Данас ће те Господ дати мени у руке, и убићу те, и скинућу главу с тебе, и даћу данас телеса војске филистејске птицама небеским и зверима земаљским, и познаће сва земља да је Бог у Израиљу.
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].”
И знаће сав овај збор да Господ не спасава мачем ни копљем, јер је рат Господњи, зато ће вас дати нама у руке.
48 As Goliath came closer to attack David, David ran quickly toward him.
А кад се Филистејин подиже и дође ближе к Давиду, Давид брже истрча на бојиште пред Филистејина.
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.
И Давид тури руку своју у торбу своју, и извади из ње камен, и баци га из праће, и погоди Филистејина у чело и уђе му камен у чело, те паде ничице на земљу.
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.
Тако Давид праћом и каменом надјача Филистејина, и удари Филистејина и уби га; а немаше Давид мача у руци.
И притрчавши Давид стаде на Филистејина, и зграби мач његов и извуче га из корица и погуби га и одсече му главу. А Филистеји кад видеше где погибе јунак њихов побегоше.
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].
А Израиљци и Јудејци усташе и повикаше и потераше Филистеје до долине и до врата акаронских; и падаше побијени Филистеји по путу сарајимском до Гата и до Акарона.
53 When the Israelis returned from chasing the Philistines, they (plundered/took everything from) the Philistine camp.
Потом се вратише синови Израиљеви теравши Филистеје, и опленише логор њихов.
54 David later took the head of Goliath to Jerusalem, but he kept Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.
А Давид узе главу Филистејинову, и однесе је у Јерусалим, а оружје његово остави у својој колиби.
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.”
А кад Саул виде Давида где иде пред Филистејина, рече Авениру војводи: Чији је син тај младић, Авенире? А Авенир рече: Како је жива душа твоја царе, не знам.
56 Then the king said, “Find out whose son he is!”
А цар рече: Питај чији је син тај младић.
57 [Later, ] as David returned from killing Goliath, Abner took him to Saul. David was carrying Goliath’s head.
А кад се врати Давид погубивши Филистејина, узе га Авенир и изведе га пред Саула, а у руци му беше глава Филистејинова.
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.”
И Саул рече му: Чији си син, дете? А Давид рече: Ја сам син слуге твог Јесеја Витлејемца.
