2 Samuelova 8

1 Poslije toga razbi David Filisteje, i pokori ih, i uze David Meteg-Amu iz ruku Filistejskih.

And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Methegammah out of the hand of the Philistines.

2 Razbi i Moavce, i izmjeri ih užem povaljavši ih po zemlji, i izmjeri ih dva uža da se pogube a jedno uže da se ostave u životu. I Moavci postaše sluge Davidove, i plaæahu mu danak.

And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines he measured to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David’s servants, and brought gifts.

3 David razbi i Adad-Ezera sina Reovova cara Sovskoga, izašav da raširi vlast svoju do rijeke Efrata.

David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.

4 I zarobi ih David tisuæu i sedam stotina konjanika i dvadeset tisuæa pješaka, i podreza David žile svijem konjma kolskim, samo ostavi za sto kola.

And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots.

5 I bijahu došli Sirci iz Damaska u pomoæ Adad-Ezeru caru Sovskom, i David pobi dvadeset i dvije tisuæe Siraca.

And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.

6 I namjesti David vojsku u Siriji što je pod Damaskom, i Sirci postaše sluge Davidove plaæajuæi mu danak. I Gospod èuvaše Davida kuda god iðaše.

Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And the LORD preserved David wherever he went.

7 I David uze zlatne štitove koje imahu sluge Adad-Ezerove, i donese ih u Jerusalim.

And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

8 I iz Vetaha i iz Virotaja gradova Adad-Ezerovijeh odnese car David silnu mjed.

And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took very much brass.

9 A kad èu Toja car Ematski da je David pobio svu vojsku Adad-Ezerovu,

When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,

10 Posla Toja Jorama sina svojega k caru Davidu da ga pozdravi i da mu èestita što je vojevao na Adad-Ezera i ubio ga, jer Toja imaše rat s Adad-Ezerom; i donese Joram zaklada zlatnijeh i srebrnijeh i mjedenijeh.

Then Toi sent Joram his son to king David, to greet him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:

11 Pa i to car David posveti Gospodu sa srebrom i zlatom što bješe posvetio od svijeh naroda koje pokori,

Which also king David dedicated to the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;

12 Od Siraca i od Moavaca i od sinova Amonovijeh i od Filisteja i od Amalika, i od plijena Adad-Ezera sina Reovova cara Sovskoga.

Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

13 I David steèe ime kad se vrati pobiv Sirce, osamnaest tisuæa, u slanoj dolini.

And David made him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men.

14 I namjesti vojsku po Idumeji, po svoj Idumeji namjesti vojsku, i svi Edomci postaše sluge Davidove. I Gospod èuvaše Davida kuda god iðaše.

And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom he put garrisons, and all they of Edom became David’s servants. And the LORD preserved David wherever he went.

15 Tako carova David nad svijem Izrailjem, sudeæi i dajuæi pravdu svemu narodu svojemu.

And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice to all his people.

16 I Joav sin Serujin bješe nad vojskom; a Josafat sin Ahiludov pametar;

And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;

17 A Sadok sin Ihitovov i Ahimeleh sin Avijatarov sveštenici; a Seraja pisar;

And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;

18 A Venaja sin Jodajev bješe nad Heretejima i Feletejima; a sinovi Davidovi knezovi.

And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief rulers.
