1 А Хирам, цар тирски посла посланике к Давиду и дрва кедрових и зидара и дрводеља да му саграде кућу.
Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, carpenters, and masons. They built a house for him.
2 И разуме Давид да га је Господ утврдио за цара над Израиљем и да се царство његово подиже високо ради народа Његовог Израиља.
David knew that Yahweh had established him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted on high for the sake of his people Israel.
3 И Давид узе још жена у Јерусалиму и изроди још синова и кћери.
In Jerusalem, David took more wives, and he became the father of more sons and daughters.
4 И ово су имена оних који му се родише у Јерусалиму: Сануја и Совав, Натан и Соломун,
These were the names of the children who were born to him in Jerusalem: 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.
Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, they all went out looking for him. But David heard about it and went out against them.
9 И Филистеји дошавши раширише се по долини рафајској.
Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the Valley of Rephaim.
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.
Then David asked for help from God. He said, “Should I attack the Philistines? Will you give victory over them?” Yahweh said to him, “Attack, for I will certainly give them to you.”
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 they came up to Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He commented, “God has burst through my enemies by my hand like a bursting flood of water.” So the name of that place became Baal Perazim.
12 И оставише онде богове своје; а Давид заповеди, те их спалише огњем.
The Philistines abandoned their gods there, and David gave an order that they should be burned.
13 А Филистеји опет по други пут раширише се по оном долу.
Then the Philistines raided the valley yet 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 David asked for help from God again. God said to him, “You must not attack their front, but rather circle around behind them and come on them through the balsam woods.
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 the sound of marching in the wind blowing through the balsam treetops, then attack with force. Do this because God will have gone out before you to attack the army of the Philistines.”
16 И учини Давид како му заповеди Бог и поби војску филистејску од Гаваона до Гезера.
So David did as God had commanded him. He defeated the army of the Philistines from Gibeon all the way to Gezer.
17 И разгласи се име Давидово по свим земљама; и Господ зададе страх од њега свим народима.
Then David's fame went out into all lands, and Yahweh caused all nations to fear him.
