1 Ljetopisa 11

1 Tada se sabraše svi Izraelci k Davidu u Hebron i rekoše: “Evo, mi smo od tvoje kosti i tvojeg mesa.

Then all Israel gathered together to David at Hebron, saying, "Look, we are your bone and your flesh.

2 Još prije, dok je Šaul bio kralj, ti si upravljao svim pokretima Izraela; Jahve, tvoj Bog, rekao ti je: 'Ti ćeš pasti moj izraelski narod i ti ćeš biti knez nad mojim narodom Izraelom.'”

In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. YHWH your God said to you, 'You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall rule over my people Israel.'"

3 Tako dođoše sve izraelske starješine kralju u Hebron, a kralj David s njima sklopi savez u Hebronu pred Jahvom i pomazaše Davida za kralja nad Izraelom, kako bijaše Jahve rekao Samuelu.

So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before YHWH; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of YHWH by Samuel.

4 Onda je otišao David sa svim Izraelom na Jeruzalem, a to je Jebus, jer su ondje bili Jebusejci i živjeli su u onoj zemlji.

David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.

5 Ali su Jebusejci poručili Davidu: “Nećeš ući ovamo!” Ipak David osvoji Sionsku tvrđavu, to jest Davidov grad.

The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, "You shall not come in here." Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the City of David.

6 Jer je David rekao: “Tko prvi porazi Jebusejce, bit će vrhovni vojvoda i knez.” Prvi se popeo Sarvijin sin Joab i postao vojvoda.

David said, "Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain." Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.

7 Tada se David nastanio u toj tvrđavi; zato su je prozvali Davidovim gradom.

David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it the City of David.

8 Sazidao je tada grad unaokolo, od Milona do ograde, a Joab je obnovio ostali dio grada.

He built the city all around, from the Millo even around; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

9 David je postajao sve silniji, jer je Jahve nad vojskama bio s njim.

David grew greater and greater; for YHWH of hosts was with him.

10 Evo vojvoda Davidovim junacima koji su junački radili uza nj za njegovo kraljevstvo sa svim Izraelom da ga po Jahvinoj riječi zakralje nad Izraelom.

Now these are the chief of the warriors whom David had, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of YHWH concerning Israel.

11 Evo popisa Davidovih junaka: Hakmonijev sin Jašobam, glavar nad tridesetoricom; on je mahnuo svojim kopljem na tri stotine i pobio ih odjednom.

This is the number of the warriors whom David had: Jeshbaal the son of Hachmoni, leader of the Three. And he wielded his spear against eight hundred and killed them at one time.

12 Za njim Dodonov sin Eleazar, Ahošanin, jedan između tri junaka.

After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the Three warriors.

13 On je bio s Davidom u Pas Damimu, kad su se Filistejci skupili na boj, a ondje je bilo polje puno ječma; kad je narod počeo bježati ispred Filistejaca,

He was with David at Pas Dammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where there was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.

14 oni su stali usred toga polja i obranili ga pobivši Filistejce. Tako im Jahve dade veliku pobjedu.

And he took his stand in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and YHWH saved them by a great victory.

15 Trojica su između tridesetorice jednom sišla do hridi k Davidu u Adulamsku pećinu kad su filistejske čete stajale u taboru u Refaimskoj dolini.

And three of the Thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines were camped in the Valley of Rephaim.

16 David je tada bio u svojoj kuli, a filistejska je posada tada bila u Betlehemu.

David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

17 David uzdahnu: “O kad bi me tko napojio vodom iz betlehemskoga studenca što je kod vrata!”

And David had a craving and said, "Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate."

18 Tada ta trojica prodriješe kroz filistejski tabor i, zahvativši vode iz betlehemskoga studenca što je kod vrata, donesoše je i dadoše Davidu. Ali je David ne htjede piti nego je proli kao ljevanicu Jahvi

The Three broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to YHWH,

19 govoreći: “Ne dao mi moj Bog da to učinim! Zar da pijem krv ovih ljudi? TÓa izlažući život pogibli donijeli su vode.” I nije htio piti. To su, eto, učinila ta tri junaka.

and said, "My God forbid it me, that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy?" For they risked their lives to bring it. Therefore he would not drink it. The Three warriors did these things.

20 Abišaj, Joabov brat, bio je vojvoda nad tridesetoricom; on je vitlao kopljem na tri stotine, pobio ih i proslavio se među tridesetoricom.

And Abishai, the brother of Joab, was leader of the Thirty. And he wielded his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name beside the Three.

21 Bio je među trojicom ugledniji od druge dvojice i bio im vojvoda, ali prve trojice nije dostigao.

He was the most illustrious of the Thirty, and he became their leader. However, he did not attain to the Three.

22 Jojadin sin Benaja, junak iz Kabseela, bogat junačkim djelima, ubio je dva sina Ariela iz Moaba; on je jednoga snježnog dana sišao i ubio lava usred jame.

Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, who performed great deeds. He killed the two of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.

23 Ubio je i nekog Egipćanina, čovjeka od pet lakata. Egipćanin je imao u ruci koplje kao tkalačko vratilo, a on je izišao preda nj sa štapom i, istrgavši Egipćaninu koplje iz ruke, ubio ga njegovim kopljem.

He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, seven feet five inches tall; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and grabbed the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.

24 To je učinio Jojadin sin Benaja i proslavio se imenom među ona tri junaka.

Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the Three warriors.

25 Bio je najznamenitiji među tridesetoricom, ali one prve trojice nije dostigao. David ga postavi za zapovjednika svoje tjelesne straže.

Look, he was more honored than the Thirty, but he did not attain to the Three. And David set him over his guard.
