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.
Torej Filistejci so zbrali skupaj svoje vojske za boj in zbrani so bili skupaj pri Sohóju, ki pripada Judu in se utaborili med Sohójem in Azéko, v Efes Damímu.
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.
Savel in Izraelovi možje so bili zbrani skupaj in se utaborili poleg doline Elá in se postrojili v boj zoper Filistejce.
3 So the Philistine and Israeli armies faced each other. They were on two hills, with a valley between them.
Filistejci so stali na gori na eni strani, Izrael pa je stal na gori na drugi strani in med njimi je bila 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.
Iz tabora Filistejcev je prišel šampion iz Gata, po imenu Goljat, katerega višina je bila šest komolcev in pedenj.
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.).
Na svoji glavi je imel čelado iz brona in oborožen je bil z verižnim plaščem. Teža plašča je bila pet tisoč šeklov brona
6 He wore bronze guards/protectors on his legs. He had a long bronze dagger fastened on his back.
Na svojih nogah je imel bronaste golenice in okrogel ščit iz brona med svojimi rameni.
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.
Palica njegove sulice je bila podobna tkalčevemu brunu in vrh njegove sulice je tehtal šeststo šeklov železa in nekdo, ki je nosil ščit, je šel 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!
Stal je in klical Izraelovim vojskam ter jim rekel: »Zakaj ste prišli ven, da se postrojite za boj? Mar nisem jaz Filistejec, vi pa Savlovi služabniki? Izberite zase moža in naj pride dol 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.
Če se je zmožen bojevati z menoj in me ubiti, potem bomo mi vaši služabniki, toda če prevladam zoper njega in ga ubijem, potem boste vi naši služabniki in nam služili.«
10 I defy/challenge you men of the Israeli army. Send me a man who will fight with me!”
Filistejec je rekel: »Danes izzivam Izraelove vojske. Dajte mi človeka, da se lahko skupaj bojujeva.«
11 When Saul and all the Israeli soldiers heard that, they were extremely terrified [DOU].
Ko so Savel in ves Izrael slišali te Filistejčeve besede, so bili zaprepadeni in silno prestrašeni.
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].
Torej David je bil sin tega Efratejca iz Judovega Betlehema, katerega ime je bilo Jese. Ta je imel osem sinov. V Savlovih dneh je mož odšel med može za starca.
13 Jesse’s three oldest sons, Eliab and Abinadab and Shammah, had gone with Saul to fight [the Philistines].
Trije najstarejši Jesejevi sinovi so odšli in Savlu sledili v bitko. Imena njegovih treh sinov, ki so šli v bitko, so bila Eliáb, prvorojenec in poleg njega Abinadáb in tretji Šamá.
14 David was Jesse’s youngest son. While his three oldest brothers were with Saul,
David je bil najmlajši in trije starejši so sledili Savlu.
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.
Toda David je šel in se vrnil od Savla, da pri Betlehemu pase ovce svojega očeta.
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.
Filistejec se je približal zjutraj in zvečer in se nastavljal štirideset dni.
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.
Jese je svojemu sinu Davidu rekel: »Vzemi sedaj za svoje brate škaf tega praženega zrnja in teh deset hlebov ter steci v tabor k svojim bratom
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.”
in teh deset sirov odnesi k poveljniku njihove tisočnije in poglej, kako se imajo tvoji bratje in vzemi njihovo jamstvo.«
19 His brothers were with Saul and all the other Israeli soldiers, camped alongside Elah Valley, [preparing to] fight the Philistines.
Torej Savel in oni in vsi Izraelovi možje so bili v dolini Elá, boreč se s Filistejci.
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.
David je vstal zgodaj zjutraj in pustil ovce s čuvajem in vzel ter odšel, kakor mu je Jese zapovedal. Prišel je k okopu, medtem ko je šla vojska naprej v boj in zavpila za boj.
21 The Philistine army and the Israeli army stood [on the hillsides], facing each other, ready for the battle.
Kajti Izrael in Filistejci so se postrojili v bitko, vojska zoper vojsko.
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.
David je pustil svoj voz v roki čuvaja voza, stekel v vojsko, prišel in pozdravil svoje brate.
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.
Medtem ko je govoril z njimi, glej, je prišel šampion, Filistejec iz Gata, po imenu Goljat, iz vojske Filistejcev in govoril glede na te iste besede in David jih je slišal.
24 When all the Israeli soldiers saw Goliath, they were terrified and started to ran away.
Ko so vsi Izraelovi možje videli moža, so zbežali pred njim in bili so boleče prestrašeni.
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.”
Možje iz Izraela so rekli: »Ali ste videli tega moža, ki je prišel gor? Zagotovo je prišel gor, da Izraela izpostavi sramotenju. Zgodilo se bo, da bo moža, ki ga ubije, kralj obogatil z velikimi bogastvi in dal mu bo svojo hčer in osvobodil hišo njegovega očeta v Izraelu.«
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?”
David je spregovoril možem, ki so stali poleg njega, rekoč: »Kaj bo storjeno možu, ki ubije tega Filistejca in odvzame grajo od Izraela? Kajti kdo je ta neobrezani Filistejec, da bi izpostavljal sramotenju vojske živega Boga?«
27 They told him the same thing that the other men had said, about what the king would do for anyone who killed Goliath.
Ljudstvo mu je odgovorilo na ta način, rekoč: »Tako bo storjeno možu, ki ga ubije.«
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!”
Njegov najstarejši brat Eliáb pa je slišal, ko je govoril možem. Eliábova jeza je bila vžgana zoper Davida in rekel je: »Zakaj si prišel sèm dol? In s kom si pustil tistih nekaj ovc v divjini? Poznam tvojo ošabnost in porednost tvojega srca, kajti prišel si dol, da bi lahko videl bitko.«
29 David replied, “Have I done something wrong? I was merely asking a question!”
David je rekel: »Kaj sem torej storil? Mar ni tam razlog?«
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.
Od njega se je obrnil k drugemu in mu govoril na isti način, ljudstvo pa mu je ponovno odgovorilo po prejšnjem načinu.
31 Finally, someone told king Saul what David had asked, and Saul sent someone to bring David to him.
Ko so bile slišane besede, ki jih je govoril David, so jih ponovili pred Savlom. In ta je poslal ponj.
32 David told king Saul, “No one should (worry/become a coward) because of that Philistine man. I will go and fight with him!”
David je rekel Savlu: »Naj srce nobenega človeka ne upade zaradi njega. Tvoj služabnik bo šel in se boril s tem Filistejcem.«
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!”
Savel je rekel Davidu: »Ti nisi zmožen iti zoper tega Filistejca, da se boriš z njim, kajti ti si še mladostnik, on pa je bojevnik od svoje mladosti.«
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,
David je rekel Savlu: »Tvoj služabnik je pasel ovce svojega očeta in prišel je lev in medved in vzel jagnje iz tropa.
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.
Odšel sem ven za njim, ga udaril in to osvobodil iz njegovih ust. Ko se je dvignil zoper mene, sem ga ujel za njegovo grivo, ga udaril in usmrtil.
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!
Tvoj služabnik je usmrtil tako leva kakor medveda in ta neobrezani Filistejec bo kakor eden izmed njiju, glede na to, da je izzival vojske živega Boga.«
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!”
Poleg tega je David rekel: » Gospod, ki me je osvobodil iz levje šape in iz medvedje šape, on me bo osvobodil iz roke tega Filistejca.« In Savel je rekel Davidu: »Pojdi in Gospod bodi s teboj.«
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.
Savel je Davida oborožil s svojo bojno opremo in mu na glavo nadel bronasto čelado. Prav tako ga je oborožil z verižnim plaščem.
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.
David je opasal svoj meč na svojo bojno opremo in poskušal oditi, kajti tega ni preizkusil. David je rekel Savlu: »Ne morem iti s tem, kajti teh [stvari] nisem preizkusil.« In David jih je odložil iz 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.
Vzel je svojo palico v svojo roko in si izbral pet gladkih kamnov iz potoka in jih položil v pastirsko torbo, ki jo je imel, celo v malho in njegova prača je bila v njegovi roki in približal se je Filistejcu.
41 Goliath walked toward David, with the soldier who was carrying his shield walking in front of him. When he got near David,
Filistejec je prišel in se približal Davidu in mož, ki je nosil ščit, je šel 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.
Ko je Filistejec pogledal naokoli in zagledal Davida, ga je preziral, kajti bil je šele mladostnik, rdečkast in lepega obličja.
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.
Filistejec je Davidu rekel: » Sem mar pes, da prihajaš k meni s palicami?« Filistejec je Davida preklel pri svojih bogovih.
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!”
Filistejec je rekel Davidu: »Pridi k meni in tvoje meso bom izročil perjadi neba in živalim polja.«
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.
Potem je David rekel Filistejcu: »Ti prihajaš k meni z mečem, s sulico in s ščitom, toda jaz prihajam k tebi v imenu Gospoda nad bojevniki, Boga Izraelovih vojsk, ki si ga izpostavljal sramotenju.
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.
Ta dan te bo Gospod izročil v mojo roko in udaril te bom in tvojo glavo vzel iz tebe in trupla vojske Filistejcev bom ta dan izročil zračni perjadi in divjim zverem zemlje, da bo vsa zemlja lahko vedela, da je Bog v Izraelu.
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].”
Ves ta zbor bo vedel, da Gospod ne rešuje z mečem in sulico, kajti boj je Gospodov in on vas bo izročil v naše roke.«
48 As Goliath came closer to attack David, David ran quickly toward him.
Pripetilo se je, ko je Filistejec vstal in prišel ter se približal, da sreča Davida, da je David pohitel in stekel proti vojski, da sreča Filistejca.
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.
David je svojo roko položil v svojo torbo, od tam vzel kamen, ga zalučal in udaril Filistejca v njegovo čelo, da je kamen potonil v njegovo čelo in ta je padel na svoj obraz k zemlji.
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 je David prevladal nad Filistejcem s pračo in s kamnom in Filistejca udaril in ubil, pa vendar v Davidovi roki ni bilo meča.
Zato je David stekel in obstal nad Filistejcem, vzel njegov meč, ga izvlekel iz njegove nožnice, ga ubil in z njim odsekal njegovo glavo. Ko so Filistejci videli, da je bil njihov šampion mrtev, so pobegnili.
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].
Možje iz Izraela in možje iz Juda so vstali, zavpili in zasledovali Filistejce, dokler ne prideš do doline in k velikim vratom Ekróna. Ranjeni izmed Filistejcev so padali dol po poti k Šaarájimu, celo do Gata in do Ekróna.
53 When the Israelis returned from chasing the Philistines, they (plundered/took everything from) the Philistine camp.
Izraelovi otroci so se vrnili iz preganjanja za Filistejci in oplenili njihove šotore.
54 David later took the head of Goliath to Jerusalem, but he kept Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.
David je vzel glavo Filistejca in jo prinesel v Jeruzalem, toda njegovo bojno opremo je odložil v svoj šotor.
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.”
Ko je Savel zagledal Davida iti naprej zoper Filistejca, je rekel Abnêrju, poveljniku vojske: »Abnêr, čigav sin je ta mladostnik?« Abnêr je rekel: » Kakor živi tvoja duša, oh kralj, ne morem povedati.«
56 Then the king said, “Find out whose son he is!”
Kralj je rekel: »Poizvedi, čigav sin je ta najstnik.«
57 [Later, ] as David returned from killing Goliath, Abner took him to Saul. David was carrying Goliath’s head.
Ko se je David vrnil iz uboja Filistejca, ga je Abnêr vzel in privedel pred Savla, s Filistejčevo glavo v svoji roki.
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.”
Savel mu je rekel: »Čigav sin si ti, ti mladenič?« David je odgovoril: »Jaz sem sin tvojega služabnika Betlehemca Jeseja.«
