2 Samuel 5

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

Tada doðoše sva plemena Izrailjeva k Davidu u Hevron, i rekoše mu govoreæi: evo, mi smo kost tvoja i tijelo tvoje.

2 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.’”

I prije, dok Saul bijaše car nad nama, ti si odvodio i dovodio Izrailja; i Gospod ti je rekao: ti æeš pasti narod moj Izrailja i ti æeš biti voð Izrailju.

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 doðoše sve starješine Izrailjeve k caru u Hevron, i uèini s njima car David vjeru u Hevronu pred Gospodom; i pomazaše Davida za cara nad Izrailjem.

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

Trideset godina bijaše Davidu kad se zacari, i carova èetrdeset godina.

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

U Hevronu carova nad Judom sedam godina i šest mjeseca; a u Jerusalimu carova trideset i tri godine nad svijem Izrailjem i Judom.

6 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 can’t come in here.”

A car otide sa svojim ljudima u Jerusalim na Jevuseje, koji življahu u onoj zemlji. I oni rekoše Davidu govoreæi: neæeš uæi ovamo dok ne uzmeš slijepe i hrome, hoteæi kazati: neæe uæi ovamo David.

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

Ali David uze kulu Sion, to je grad Davidov.

8 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 can’t come into the house.”

Jer reèe David u onaj dan: ko god pobije Jevuseje i doðe do jaza, i do slijepijeh i hromijeh, na koje mrzi duša Davidova, biæe vojvoda. Zato se kaže: slijepi i hromi da ne ulaze u ovu kuæu.

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

I sjede David u kuli, i nazva je gradom Davidovijem: i pogradi je David unaokolo od Milona i unutra.

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

I David jednako napredovaše, jer Gospod Bog nad vojskama bješe s njim.

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

I Hiram car Tirski posla poslanike k Davidu, i kedrovijeh drva i drvodjelja i kamenara, i sagradiše kuæu Davidu.

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

I razumje David da ga je Gospod utvrdio za cara nad Izrailjem, i da je uzvisio carstvo njegovo radi naroda svojega Izrailja.

13 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.

I uze David još inoèa i žena iz Jerusalima, pošto doðe iz Hevrona; i rodi se Davidu još sinova i kæeri.

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

I ovo su imena onijeh koji mu se rodiše u Jerusalimu: Samuja i Sovav i Natan i Solomun,

15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,

I Jevar i Elisuja i Nafig i Jafija,

16 Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.

I Elisama i Elijada i Elifalet.

17 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.

A Filisteji èuvši da su pomazali Davida za cara nad Izrailjem, izidoše svi Filisteji da traže Davida; a David èuvši to, otide u kulu.

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

I Filisteji došavši raširiše se po dolini Rafajskoj.

19 David enquired 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.”

Tada David upita Gospoda govoreæi: hoæu li izaæi na Filisteje? Hoæeš li ih dati u moje ruke? A Gospod reèe Davidu: izaði; doista æu dati Filisteje u tvoje ruke.

20 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.

Tada David doðe u Val-Ferasim, i pobi ih ondje, i reèe: prodrije Gospod neprijatelje moje preda mnom kao kad voda prodire. Otuda se prozva ono mjesto Val-Ferasim.

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

I ostaviše ondje lažne bogove svoje; a David i ljudi njegovi odnesoše ih.

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

I opet nanovo doðoše Filisteji, i raširiše se u dolini Rafajskoj.

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

I David upita Gospoda, koji reèe: ne idi pred njih, nego im zaði za leða, pa udari na njih prema dudovima.

24 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.”

Pa kad èuješ da zašušti po vrhovima od dudova, onda se kreni, jer æe onda poæi Gospod pred tobom da pobije vojsku Filistejsku.

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

I David uèini tako kako mu zapovjedi Gospod, i pobi Filisteje od Gavaje do Gezera.
