1 Књига дневника 14
1 А Хирам, цар тирски посла посланике к Давиду и дрва кедрових и зидара и дрводеља да му саграде кућу.
One day Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent some messengers to David [to talk about making an agreement between their countries]. Then Hiram sent cedar logs, bricklayers, and carpenters to build a palace for David.
2 И разуме Давид да га је Господ утврдио за цара над Израиљем и да се царство његово подиже високо ради народа Његовог Израиља.
[When that happened, ] David knew that Yahweh had truly caused him to be the king of Israel, and that he had caused his kingdom to be greatly respected. Yahweh did this because [he loved] his Israeli people.
3 И Давид узе још жена у Јерусалиму и изроди још синова и кћери.
David married more women in Jerusalem, and [those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters for him.
4 И ово су имена оних који му се родише у Јерусалиму: Сануја и Совав, Натан и Соломун,
The names of the children that were born to him there in Jerusalem are Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
5 И Јевар и Елисуја и Елфалет,
Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 И Нога и Нефег и Јафија
Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7 И Елисама и Велијада и Елифалет.
Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 А Филистеји чувши да је Давид помазан за цара над свим Израиљем, изиђоше сви Филистеји да траже Давида; а Давид чувши то изиђе пред њих.
When the army of Philistia heard that David has been appointed to be king of all of Israel, they came to capture him. But David heard that they were coming, so he [and his soldiers] marched out to fight against them.
9 И Филистеји дошавши раширише се по долини рафајској.
The army of Philistia had attacked the people in the Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and had robbed them.
10 Тада Давид упита Господа говорећи: Хоћу ли изаћи на Филистеје? И хоћеш ли их дати у моје руке? А Господ му рече: Изађи, и даћу их у твоје руке.
David asked God, “Should [my men and] I go and attack the army of Philistia? [If we go, ] will you enable us to defeat [IDM] them?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, go, and I will enable you to defeat [IDM] them.”
11 Тада отидоше у Вал-Ферасим, и поби их онде Давид, и рече Давид: Продре Бог непријатеље моје мојом руком, као што вода продире. Отуда се прозва место Вал-Ферасим.
So David and his men went up to a town where the soldiers of Philistia were staying and defeated them. Then David said, “God has enabled me [and my soldiers] to overwhelm my enemies like [MET] a flood.” So they named that place {That place is called} ‘Baal-Perazim’ [which means ‘Yahweh breaks through’].
12 И оставише онде богове своје; а Давид заповеди, те их спалише огњем.
[As the soldiers of Philistia fled], they left their idols there. So David commanded his soldiers to burn those idols.
13 А Филистеји опет по други пут раширише се по оном долу.
But soon the army of Philistia attacked the people in that valley again.
14 И Давид опет упита Бога, а Бог му рече: Не иди за њима, него се врати од њих, па удари на њих према дудовима.
So again David prayed to God [to ask him what he should do], and God replied, saying “Do not attack the army of Philistia from the front. Instead, go around them, and attack them [from the rear] in front of the balsam trees.
15 И кад чујеш да зашушти по врховима од дудова, тада изиђи у бој; јер ће поћи Бог пред тобом да побије војску филистејску.
When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [soldiers] marching, attack them. I, God, will have gone ahead of you to enable you to defeat the army of Philistia.”
16 И учини Давид како му заповеди Бог и поби војску филистејску од Гаваона до Гезера.
So David did what God commanded him to do, and he and his army defeated the army of Philistia, all the way from Gibeon [city in the east] to Gezer [city in the west].
17 И разгласи се име Давидово по свим земљама; и Господ зададе страх од њега свим народима.
So David became famous in all the nearby countries, and Yahweh caused [the leaders of] all the [nearby] nations to be afraid of him.
