2 Samuel 5

1 Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spoke, saying: 'Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

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

2 In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was thou that didst lead out and bring in Israel; and the LORD said to thee: Thou shalt feed My people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel.'

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.‹«

3 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

6 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke unto David, saying: 'Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither'; thinking: 'David cannot come in hither.'

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.

7 Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David.

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

8 And David said on that day: 'Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites, and getteth up to the gutter, and taketh away the lame and the blind, that are hated of David's soul —.' Wherefore they say: 'There are the blind and the lame; he cannot come into the house.'

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.«

9 And David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.

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

10 And David waxed greater and greater; for the LORD, the God of hosts, was with him.

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

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

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

12 And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that He had exalted his kingdom for His people Israel's sake.

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

13 And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron; and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.

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.

14 And these are the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon;

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

15 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia;

tudi Jibhár, Elišúa, Nefeg, Jafíja,

16 and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet.

Elišamá, Eljadá in Elifálet.

17 And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold.

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.

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

Tudi Filistejci so prišli in se razkropili v dolini Rafájim.

19 And David inquired of the LORD, saying: 'Shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt Thou deliver them into my hand?' And the LORD said unto David: 'Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into thy hand.'

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.«

20 And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and he said: 'The LORD hath broken mine enemies before me, like the breach of waters.' Therefore the name of that place was called Baal-perazim.

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.

21 And they left their images there, and David and his men took them away.

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

22 And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

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

23 And when David inquired of the LORD, He said: 'Thou shalt not go up; make a circuit behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees.

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

24 And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself; for then is the LORD gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.'

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.«

25 And David did so, as the LORD commanded him, and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gezer.

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