1 Књига Самуилова 17
1 Тада Филистеји скупише војску своју да војују, и скупише се у Сокоту Јудином, и стадоше у логор између Сокота и Азике на међи дамимској.
Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which belongs to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim.
2 А Саул и Израиљци скупише се и стадоше у логор у долини Или, и уврсташе се према Филистејима.
And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
3 И Филистеји стајаху на брду одонуда а Израиљци стајаху на брду одовуда, а међу њима беше долина.
And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
4 И изађе из логора филистејског један заточник по имену Голијат из Гата, висок шест лаката и пед.
And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
5 И на глави му беше капа од бронзе, и оклоп плочаст на њему од бронзе; и беше оклоп тежак пет хиљада сикала.
And he had an helmet of brass on his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.
6 И ногавице од бронзе беху му на ногама, и штит од бронзе на раменима.
And he had greaves of brass on his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders.
7 А копљача од копља му беше као вратило, а гвожђа у копљу му беше шест стотина сикала; и који му оружје ношаше иђаше пред њим.
And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.
8 Он ставши викаше војску израиљску, и говораше им: Што сте изашли уврставши се? Нисам ли ја Филистејин а ви слуге Саулове? Изберите једног између себе, па нека изађе к мени.
And he stood and cried to the armies of Israel, and said to them, Why are you come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.
9 Ако ме надјача и погуби ме, ми ћемо вам бити слуге; ако ли ја њега надјачам и погубим га, онда ћете ви бити нама слуге, и служићете нам.
If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall you be our servants, and serve us.
10 Још говораше Филистејин: Ја осрамотих данас војску израиљску: дајте ми човека да се бијемо.
And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
11 А кад Саул и сав Израиљ чу шта рече Филистејин, препадоше се и уплашише се врло.
When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
12 А беше Давид син једног Ефраћанина, из Витлејема Јудиног, коме име беше Јесеј, који имаше осам синова и беше у време Саулово стар и временит међу људима.
Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul.
13 И три најстарија сина Јесејева отидоше за Саулом на војску; а имена тројици синова његових који отидоше на војску беху првенцу Елијав а другом Авинадав а трећем Сама.
And the three oldest sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
14 А Давид беше најмлађи. И она три најстарија отидоше за Саулом.
And David was the youngest: and the three oldest followed Saul.
15 А Давид отиде од Саула и врати се у Витлејем да пасе овце оца свог.
But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Bethlehem.
16 А Филистејин излажаше јутром и вечером, и стаја четрдесет дана.
And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
17 А Јесеј рече Давиду, сину свом: Узми сада за браћу своју ефу овог прженог жита и ових десет хлебова, и однеси брже у логор браћи својој.
And Jesse said to David his son, Take now for your brothers an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp of your brothers;
18 А ових десет младих сираца однеси хиљаднику, и види браћу своју како су, и донеси од њих знак.
And carry these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and look how your brothers fare, and take their pledge.
19 А Саул и они и сав Израиљ беху у долини Или ратујући с Филистејима.
Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
20 И тако Давид уста рано и остави овце на чувару; па узе и отиде како му заповеди Јесеј; и дође на место где беше логор, и војска излажаше да се врста за бој, и подизаше убојну вику.
And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle.
21 И стајаше војска израиљска и филистејска једна према другој.
For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army.
22 Тада остави Давид свој пртљаг код чувара који чуваше пртљаг и отрча у војску, и дође и запита браћу своју за здравље.
And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brothers.
23 И докле говораше с њима, гле, онај заточник по имену Голијат Филистејин из Гата, изађе из војске филистејске и говораше као пре, и Давид чу.
And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words: and David heard them.
24 А сви Израиљци кад видеше тог човека, узбегоше од њега, и беше их страх веома.
And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
25 И говораху Израиљци: Видесте ли тог човека што изађе? Јер изађе да срамоти Израиља. А ко би га погубио, цар би му дао силно благо, и кћер своју дао би му; и ослободио би дом оца његовог у Израиљу.
And the men of Israel said, Have you seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who kills him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father’s house free in Israel.
26 Тада рече Давид људима који стајаху око њега говорећи: Шта ће се учинити човеку који погуби тог Филистејина и скине срамоту с Израиља? Јер ко је тај Филистејин необрезани да срамоти војску Бога Живог?
And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that kills this Philistine, and takes away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
27 А народ му одговори исте речи говорећи: То ће се учинити ономе ко га погуби.
And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that kills him.
28 А кад чу Елијав брат његов најстарији како се разговара с тим људима, разљути се Елијав на Давида, и рече му: Што си дошао? И на коме си оставио оно мало оваца у пустињи? Знам ја обест твоју и злоћу срца твог; дошао си да видиш бој.
And Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why came you down here? and with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride, and the naughtiness of your heart; for you are come down that you might see the battle.
29 А Давид рече: Шта сам сад учинио? Заповеђено ми је.
And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
30 Потом окрену се од њега к другом и запита као пре; и народ му одговори као пре.
And he turned from him toward another, and spoke after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.
31 И кад чуше речи које говораше Давид, јавише их Саулу, а он га дозва к себи.
And when the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him.
32 И Давид рече Саулу: Нека се нико не плаши од оног; слуга ће твој изаћи и биће се с Филистејином.
And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
33 А Саул рече Давиду: Не можеш ти ићи на Филистејина да се бијеш с њим, јер си ти дете а он је војник од младости своје.
And Saul said to David, You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for you are but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
34 А Давид рече Саулу: Слуга је твој пасао овце оца свог; па кад дође лав или медвед и однесе овцу из стада,
And David said to Saul, Your servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
35 Ја потрчах за њим, и ударих га и отех му из чељусти; и кад би скочио на ме; ухватих га за грло, те га бих и убих.
And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
36 И лава и медведа убијао је твој слуга, па ће и тај Филистејин необрезани проћи као они; јер осрамоти војску Бога Живог.
Your servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God.
37 Још рече Давид: Господ који ме је сачувао од лава и медведа, Он ће ме сачувати и од овог Филистејина. Тада рече Саул Давиду: Иди, и Господ нека буде с тобом.
David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and the LORD be with you.
38 И Саул даде Давиду своје оружје, и метну му на главу капу своју од бронзе и метну оклоп на њ.
And Saul armed David with his armor, and he put an helmet of brass on his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.
39 И припаса Давид мач његов преко свог одела и пође, али не беше навикао, па рече Давид Саулу: Не могу ићи с тим, јер нисам навикао. Па скиде Давид са себе.
And David girded his sword on his armor, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said to Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
40 И узе штап свој у руку, и изабра на потоку пет глатких камена и метну их у торбу пастирску, коју имаше, и узе праћу своју у руку, и тако пође ка Филистејину.
And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s bag which he had, even in a money; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
41 А и Филистејин иђаше све ближе к Давиду, а човек који му ношаше оружје, иђаше пред њим.
And the Philistine came on and drew near to David; and the man that bore the shield went before him.
42 А кад Филистејин погледа и виде Давида, подсмехну му се, што беше млад и смеђ и лепог лица.
And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.
43 И рече Филистејин Давиду: Еда ли сам псето, те идеш на ме са штапом? И проклињаше Филистејин Давида боговима својим.
And the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that you come to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 И рече Филистејин Давиду: Ходи к мени да дам тело твоје птицама небеским и зверима земаљским.
And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
45 А Давид рече Филистејину: Ти идеш на ме с мачем и с копљем и са штитом; а ја идем на те у име Господа над војскама, Бога војске Израиљеве, ког си ружио.
Then said David to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
46 Данас ће те Господ дати мени у руке, и убићу те, и скинућу главу с тебе, и даћу данас телеса војске филистејске птицама небеским и зверима земаљским, и познаће сва земља да је Бог у Израиљу.
This day will the LORD deliver you into my hand; and I will smite you, and take your head from you; and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day to the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
47 И знаће сав овај збор да Господ не спасава мачем ни копљем, јер је рат Господњи, зато ће вас дати нама у руке.
And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saves not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hands.
48 А кад се Филистејин подиже и дође ближе к Давиду, Давид брже истрча на бојиште пред Филистејина.
And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came, and drew near to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49 И Давид тури руку своју у торбу своју, и извади из ње камен, и баци га из праће, и погоди Филистејина у чело и уђе му камен у чело, те паде ничице на земљу.
And David put his hand in his bag, and took there a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell on his face to the earth.
50 Тако Давид праћом и каменом надјача Филистејина, и удари Филистејина и уби га; а немаше Давид мача у руци.
So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
51 И притрчавши Давид стаде на Филистејина, и зграби мач његов и извуче га из корица и погуби га и одсече му главу. А Филистеји кад видеше где погибе јунак њихов побегоше.
Therefore David ran, and stood on the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.
52 А Израиљци и Јудејци усташе и повикаше и потераше Филистеје до долине и до врата акаронских; и падаше побијени Филистеји по путу сарајимском до Гата и до Акарона.
And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until you come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.
53 Потом се вратише синови Израиљеви теравши Филистеје, и опленише логор њихов.
And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents.
54 А Давид узе главу Филистејинову, и однесе је у Јерусалим, а оружје његово остави у својој колиби.
And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent.
55 А кад Саул виде Давида где иде пред Филистејина, рече Авениру војводи: Чији је син тај младић, Авенире? А Авенир рече: Како је жива душа твоја царе, не знам.
And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As your soul lives, O king, I cannot tell.
56 А цар рече: Питај чији је син тај младић.
And the king said, Inquire you whose son the stripling is.
57 А кад се врати Давид погубивши Филистејина, узе га Авенир и изведе га пред Саула, а у руци му беше глава Филистејинова.
And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
58 И Саул рече му: Чији си син, дете? А Давид рече: Ја сам син слуге твог Јесеја Витлејемца.
And Saul said to him, Whose son are you, you young man? And David answered, I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.
