< 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.
In spring, at the time of year when kings go out to make war, Joab led the Israelite army in attacks against the country of the Ammonites, also besieging Rabbah. However, David remained behind in Jerusalem. Joab attacked Rabbah and destroyed 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 from the head of their idol Milcom. It was made of gold, and was set with gems. It weighed a talent and was placed on David's head. David also took a great deal of plunder from 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.
David made the people there work with saws, iron picks, and axes. He also did the same to all the Ammonite towns. Then David and all his army 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.
Some time after this was broke out with the Philistines at Gezer. But then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, a descendant of the Rephaim, and the Philistines were forced to submit.
5 Ponovno je bila vojna s Filistejci. Jaírov sin Elhanán je usmrtil Lahmíja, brata Gitéjca Goljata, katerega kopjišče je bilo podobno tkalčevemu brunu.
In another battle with the Philistines, Elhanan, son of Jair, killed Lahmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite. The shaft of his spear was as thick as a weaver's rod.
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.
In yet another battle at Gath, there was a gigantic man, who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, making twenty-four all. He too was descended from the giants.
7 Toda ko je izzival Izraela, ga je Jonatan, Šimájajev sin, Davidov brat, usmrtil.
But when he insulted Israel, Jonathan, 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 the descendants of the giants in Gath, abut they were all killed by David and his men.
