2 Samuel 8
1 Some time later, David’s army attacked the Philistia [army] and defeated them. They took control over the entire Philistia area.
После тога разби Давид Филистеје, и покори их, и узе Давид Метег-Аму из руку филистејских.
2 David’s army also defeated the army of the Moab people-group. David forced their soldiers to lie down on the ground [close to each other]. His men killed two out of every three of them. The [other] Moab people [were forced to] accept David as their ruler, and they were forced to give to him [every year the] payment/tax [that he demanded].
Разби и Моавце, и измери их ужем поваљавши их по земљи, и измери их два ужа да се погубе а једно уже да се оставе у животу. И Моавци посташе слуге Давидове, и плаћаху му данак.
3 David’s army also defeated [the army of] Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, who ruled [the state of] Zobah [in Syria]. That happened when David went to rule again over the area at [the upper part of] the Euphrates River.
Давид разби и Адад-Езера сина Реововог цара совског, изашав да рашири власт своју до реке Ефрата.
4 David’s army captured 1,700 of Hadadezer’s soldiers who rode on horses, and 20,000 of his other soldiers. They also crippled/hamstrung most of the horses that pulled the chariots, but they left/spared enough horses to [pull] 100 chariots.
И зароби их Давид хиљаду и седам стотина коњаника и двадесет хиљада пешака, и подреза Давид жиле свим коњима колским, само остави за сто кола.
5 When [the army of] Syria came from Damascus [city] to help King Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
И беху дошли Сирци из Дамаска у помоћ Адад-Езеру цару совском, и Давид поби двадесет и две хиљаде Сираца.
6 Then David stationed (groups of his soldiers/army camps) in their area, and the people of Syria were forced to accept David as their ruler, and to give to David’s government [every year] the payment/tax that he demanded. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win victories wherever they went.
И намести Давид војску у Сирији што је под Дамаском, и Сирци посташе слуге Давидове плаћајући му данак. И Господ чуваше Давида куда год иђаше.
7 David’s soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by Hadadezer’s officials, and brought them to Jerusalem.
И Давид узе златне штитове које имаху слуге Адад-Езерове, и донесе их у Јерусалим.
8 They also brought [to Jerusalem] a lot of bronze [that they found] in Betah and Berothai, two cities that King Hadadezer [had previously] ruled.
И из Ветаха и из Виротаја, градова Адад-Езерових, однесе цар Давид силну бронзу.
9 When Toi, the king of the Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
А кад чу Тоја, цар ематски, да је Давид побио сву војску Адад-Езерову,
10 he sent his son Joram to greet King David and to (congratulate him/say that he was happy) about his army defeating Hadadezer’s army, which Toi’s [army] had fought many times. Joram brought to David many items/gifts made from gold, silver, and bronze.
Посла Тоја Јорама сина свог к цару Давиду да га поздрави и да му честита што је војевао на Адад-Езера и убио га, јер Тоја имаше рат с Адад-Езером; и донесе Јорам закладе златне и сребрне и бронзане.
11 King David dedicated all those items to Yahweh. He also dedicated the silver and gold which his army had taken from the nations that they had conquered.
Па и то цар Давид посвети Господу са сребром и златом што беше посветио од свих народа које покори,
12 They had taken items from the Edom people-group and the Moab people-group, from the Ammon people-group, from the Philistia people, and from [the descendants of] Amalek, as well as from the people that Hadadezer [previously] ruled.
Од Сираца и од Моаваца и од синова Амонових и од Филистеја и од Амалика, и од плена Адад-Езера сина Реововог, цара совског.
13 When David returned [after defeating the armies of Syria], he became more famous because his army killed 18,000 soldiers from the Edom people-group in the Salt Valley [near the Dead Sea].
И Давид стече име кад се врати побивши Сирце, осамнаест хиљада у сланој долини.
14 David stationed (groups of his soldiers/army camps) throughout the Edom area, and forced the people there to accept him as their king. Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles wherever they went.
И намести војску по Идумеји, по свој Идумеји намести војску, и сви Едомци посташе слуге Давидове. И Господ чуваше Давида куда год иђаше.
15 David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was fair and just.
Тако царова Давид над свим Израиљем, судећи и дајући правду свему народу свом.
16 Joab was the army commander; Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the man who reported to the people everything that David decided that they should do;
И Јоав син Серујин беше над војском; а Јосафат син Ахилудов паметар;
17 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; Seraiah was the official secretary;
А Садок син Ихитовов и Ахимелех син Авијатаров свештеници; а Сераја писар;
18 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was the commander of (David’s bodyguards/the men who protected the king); and David’s sons were priests (OR, his administrators/advisors).
А Венаја син Јодајев беше над Херетејима и Фелетејима; а синови Давидови кнезови.
