2 Samuel 5

1 Potem so vsi Izraelovi rodovi prišli k Davidu v Hebrón in spregovorili, rekoč: »Glej, mi smo tvoja kost in tvoje meso.

Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and spoke, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

2 Tudi v preteklem času, ko je bil Savel kralj nad nami, si bil ti tisti, ki nas je vodil ven in privedel v Izrael in Gospod ti je rekel: ›Ti boš pasel moje ljudstvo Izrael in ti boš poveljnik nad Izraelom.‹«

In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led Israel out and in. The LORD said to you, ‘You will be shepherd of my people Israel, and you will be prince over Israel.’”

3 Tako so vsi Izraelovi starešine prišli h kralju v Hebrón in kralj David je z njimi v Hebrónu sklenil zavezo pred Gospodom in Davida so mazilili [za] kralja nad Izraelom.

So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel.

4 David je bil star trideset let, ko je začel kraljevati in kraljeval je štirideset let.

David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.

5 V Hebrónu je nad Judom kraljeval sedem let in šest mesecev, v Jeruzalemu pa je triintrideset let kraljeval nad vsem Izraelom in Judom.

In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.

6 Kralj in njegovi možje so odšli v Jeruzalem k Jebusejcem, prebivalcem dežele, ki so Davidu spregovorili, rekoč: »Razen če ne odstraniš slepih in hromih, ne boš vstopil sèm, « misleč, [da] David ne more priti tja.

The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, “The blind and the lame will keep you out of here,” thinking, “David cannot come in here.”

7 Kljub temu je David zavzel oporišče Sion. Isto je Davidovo mesto.

Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. This is David’s city.

8 David je na ta dan rekel: »Kdorkoli se spravi gor do jarka in udari Jebusejce in hrome in slepe, ki jih Davidova duša sovraži, ta bo voditelj in poveljnik.« Zatorej so rekli: »Slepi in hromi ne bodo prišli v hišo.«

David said on that day, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him go up to the watercourse and strike those lame and blind, who are hated by David’s soul.” Therefore they say, “The blind and the lame cannot come into the house.”

9 Tako je David prebival v utrdbi in jo imenoval Davidovo mesto. In David je gradil naokoli od Milója in znotraj.

David lived in the stronghold, and called it David’s city. David built around from Millo and inward.

10 David je odšel naprej in postal velik in Gospod, Bog nad bojevniki, je bil z njim.

David grew greater and greater, for the LORD, the God of Armies, was with him.

11 Tirski kralj Hirám je poslal poslance k Davidu in cedrova drevesa, tesarje in zidarje in ti so Davidu zgradili hišo.

Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, with cedar trees, carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house.

12 David je zaznal, da ga je Gospod utrdil za kralja nad Izraelom in da je njegovo kraljestvo povišal zaradi svojega ljudstva Izraela.

David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake.

13 In David si je vzel [še] več priležnic in žená iz Jeruzalema, potem ko je prišel iz Hebróna in tam so se Davidu rodili še sinovi in hčere.

David took more concubines and wives for himself out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and more sons and daughters were born to David.

14 To so imena izmed tistih, ki so mu bili rojeni v Jeruzalemu: Šamúa, Šobáb, Natán, Salomon,

These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

15 tudi Jibhár, Elišúa, Nefeg, Jafíja,

Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,

16 Elišamá, Eljadá in Elifálet.

Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.

17 Toda ko so Filistejci slišali, da so Davida mazilili [za] kralja nad Izraelom, so vsi Filistejci prišli gor, da poiščejo Davida in David je slišal o tem in odšel dol k utrjenemu kraju.

When the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David, but David heard about it and went down to the stronghold.

18 Tudi Filistejci so prišli in se razkropili v dolini Rafájim.

Now the Philistines had come and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

19 David je poizvedel od Gospoda, rekoč: »Naj grem gor k Filistejcem? Jih boš izročil v mojo roko?« Gospod je rekel Davidu: »Pojdi gor, kajti nedvomno bom Filistejce izročil v tvojo roko.«

David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” The LORD said to David, “Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into your hand.”

20 David je prišel do Báal Peracíma in David jih je tam udaril ter rekel: » Gospod je kakor prodor vodá izbruhnil na moje sovražnike pred menoj.« Zato je ime tega kraja imenoval Báal Peracím.

David came to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there. Then he said, “The LORD has broken my enemies before me, like the breach of waters.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.

21 In oni so tam pustili svoje podobe, David in njegovi možje pa so jih sežgali.

They left their images there, and David and his men took them away.

22 In Filistejci so ponovno prišli gor in se razkropili v dolini Rafájim.

The Philistines came up yet again and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

23 Ko je David poizvedel od Gospoda, je rekel: »Ne boš šel gor, temveč za njimi postavi zasedo in pridi nadnje nasproti murvinim drevesom.

When David inquired of the LORD, he said, “You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them in front of the mulberry trees.

24 In naj bo, ko zaslišiš šum hoje v vrhu murvinih dreves, da se boš potem podvizal, kajti takrat bo Gospod šel ven pred teboj, da udari vojsko Filistejcev.«

When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then stir yourself up; for then the LORD has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”

25 David je storil tako, kakor mu je Gospod zapovedal in udarjal Filistejce od Gebe, dokler ne prideš do Gazerja.

David did so, as the LORD commanded him, and struck the Philistines all the way from Geba to Gezer.
