1 Kroniška 20
1 Pripetilo se je, potem ko je minilo leto, ob času, ko gredo kralji na bitko, da je Joáb vodil moč vojske in opustošil deželo Amónovih otrok in prišel ter oblegal Rabo. Toda David je ostal v Jeruzalemu. In Joáb je udaril Rabo ter jo uničil.
At the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, Joab led out the army and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew it.
2 David je snel krono njihovega kralja iz njegove glave in spoznal, da tehta talent zlata in v njej so bili dragoceni kamni, in ta je bila postavljena na Davidovo glavo. In iz mesta je prinesel tudi silno mnogo plena.
David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it. It was set on David’s head, and he brought very much plunder out of the city.
3 Ljudstvo, ki je bilo v njem, je privedel ven in jih razsekal z žagami, branami iz železa in sekirami. Celo tako je David postopal z vsemi mesti Amónovih otrok. In David in vse ljudstvo se je vrnilo v Jeruzalem.
He brought out the people who were in it, and had them cut with saws, with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
4 Pripetilo se je za tem, da se je vzdignila vojna s Filistejci pri Gezerju. Takrat je Hušán Sibeháj usmrtil Sipája, ki je bil izmed otrok velikana; in bili so podjarmljeni.
After this, war arose at Gezer with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, of the sons of the giant; and they were subdued.
5 Ponovno je bila vojna s Filistejci. Jaírov sin Elhanán je usmrtil Lahmíja, brata Gitéjca Goljata, katerega kopjišče je bilo podobno tkalčevemu brunu.
Again there was war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
6 Ponovno je bila vojna pri Gatu, kjer je bil mož visoke postave, katerega prstov in palcev je bilo štiriindvajset, šest na vsaki roki in šest na vsakem stopalu in tudi ta je bil sin velikana.
There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant.
7 Toda ko je izzival Izraela, ga je Jonatan, Šimájajev sin, Davidov brat, usmrtil.
When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.
8 Ti so bili rojeni velikanu v Gatu in padli so po Davidovi roki in po roki njegovih služabnikov.
These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
