2 Samuel 8
1 Po tem se je pripetilo, da je David udaril Filistejce in jih podjarmil. David je vzel Meteg–amo iz roke Filistejcev.
Sometime after this, David attacked and subdued the Philistines, taking Metheg-ammah from the them.
2 Udaril je Moábce in jih premeril z vrvico, [medtem ko] jih je vrgel na tla. Celo z dvema vrvicama je premeril, da jih usmrti in z eno polno vrvico, da jih ohrani žive. Tako so Moábci postali Davidovi služabniki in prinašali darila.
David also defeated the Moabites. He made them lie down on the ground, and he measured them with a length of cord. He measured two lengths for those to be killed, and one cord length for those to be allowed to live. So he made them subject to him and required them to pay taxes.
3 David je udaril tudi Rehóbovega sina Hadadézerja, kralja iz Cobe, ko je odšel, da obnovi svojo mejo pri reki Evfratu.
David also defeated Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he tried to enforce his control along the Euphrates River.
4 David je od njega vzel tisoč bojnih voz, sedemsto konjenikov in dvajset tisoč pešcev in David je prerezal Ahilove tetive vsem konjem bojnih vozov, toda izmed njih jih je prihranil za sto bojnih vozov.
David captured from him 1,000 chariots, 7,000 charioteers, and 20,000 foot soldiers. David hamstrung all the chariot horses—except he saved enough for 100 chariots.
5 Ko so prišli Sirci iz Damaska, da okrepijo Hadadézerja, kralja iz Cobe, je David izmed Sircev usmrtil dvaindvajset tisoč mož.
When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand of them.
6 Potem je David postavil garnizije v Siriji, v Damasku in Sirci so postali Davidovi služabniki in prinašali darila. In Gospod je varoval Davida kamorkoli je odšel.
He placed garrisons in Aramean kingdom with its capital in Damascus, and made the Arameans subject to him and required them to pay taxes. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.
7 David je vzel ščite iz zlata, ki so bili na Hadadézerjevih služabnikih in jih prinesel v Jeruzalem.
David took the shields of gold that belonged to Hadadezer's officers and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Iz Betaha in iz Berotája, Hadadézerjevih mest, je kralj David vzel silno veliko brona.
King David also took a large quantity of bronze from Betah and Berothai, towns that had belonged to Hadadezer.
9 Ko je Toí, kralj Hamáta, slišal, da je David udaril vso Hadadézerjevo vojsko,
When Tou, king of Hamath, learned that David had destroyed the entire army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,
10 potem je Toí poslal h kralju Davidu svojega sina Joráma, da ga pozdravi in da ga blagoslovi, ker se je bojeval zoper Hadadézerja in ga udaril, kajti Hadadézer je imel vojne s Toíjem. In Jorám je s seboj prinesel posode iz srebra, posode iz zlata in posode iz brona,
he sent his son Joram to David to make friends with him and to congratulate him on his victory in battle over Hadadezer. Tou and Hadadezer had often been at war. Joram brought all kinds of gifts of gold, silver, and bronze.
11 ki jih je tudi kralj David posvetil Gospodu, skupaj s srebrom in zlatom, ki ga je posvetil od vseh narodov, ki jih je podjarmil;
King David dedicated these gifts to the Lord, along with the silver and gold he had taken from all the nations he had subdued:
12 od Sirije in od Moába in od Amónovih otrok in od Filistejcev in od Amáleka in od Hadadézerjevega plena, Rehóbovega sina, kralja Cobe.
Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalekites; as well as the plunder taken from Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13 David si je pridobil ime, ko se je vrnil iz udarjanja Sircev v solni dolini, ki jih je bilo osemnajst tisoč mož.
David also made a name for himself when he came back after defeating eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
14 Postavil je garnizije v Edómu, po vsem Edómu je postavil garnizije in vsi tisti iz Edóma so postali Davidovi služabniki. In Gospod je varoval Davida kamorkoli je šel.
He placed garrisons all through Edom, and all the Edomites became subject to David. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.
15 David je kraljeval nad vsem Izraelom in David je izvajal sodbo in pravico vsemu svojemu ljudstvu.
David ruled over all Israel. He did what was fair and right for all his people.
16 Cerújin sin Joáb je bil nad vojsko, Ahilúdov sin Józafat je bil letopisec,
Joab, son of Zeruiah, was the army commander, and Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, kept the official records.
17 Ahitúbov sin Cadók in Abjatárjev sin Ahiméleh sta bila duhovnika, Serajá je bil pisar,
Zadok, son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, son of Abiathar, were priests, while Seraiah was the secretary.
18 Jojadájev sin Benajá je bil tako nad Keretéjci in Péletovci, Davidovi sinovi pa so bili glavni vladarji.
Benaiah, son of Jehoiada was in charge of the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David's sons were priests.
