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.
Some time later, David’s army attacked the Philistia [army] and defeated them. They took control over the entire Philistia area.
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’s army also defeated the army of the Moab people-group. David forced their soldiers to lie down on the ground [close to each other]. His men killed two out of every three of them. The [other] Moab people [were forced to] accept David as their ruler, and they were forced to give to him [every year the] payment/tax [that he demanded].
3 David je udaril tudi Rehóbovega sina Hadadézerja, kralja iz Cobe, ko je odšel, da obnovi svojo mejo pri reki Evfratu.
David’s army also defeated [the army of] Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, who ruled [the state of] Zobah [in Syria]. That happened when David went to rule again over the area at [the upper part of] 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’s army captured 1,700 of Hadadezer’s soldiers who rode on horses, and 20,000 of his other soldiers. They also crippled/hamstrung most of the horses that pulled the chariots, but they left/spared enough horses to [pull] 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 army of] Syria came from Damascus [city] to help King Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 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.
Then David stationed (groups of his soldiers/army camps) in their area, and the people of Syria were forced to accept David as their ruler, and to give to David’s government [every year] the payment/tax that he demanded. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win victories wherever they went.
7 David je vzel ščite iz zlata, ki so bili na Hadadézerjevih služabnikih in jih prinesel v Jeruzalem.
David’s soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by Hadadezer’s officials, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Iz Betaha in iz Berotája, Hadadézerjevih mest, je kralj David vzel silno veliko brona.
They also brought [to Jerusalem] a lot of bronze [that they found] in Betah and Berothai, two cities that King Hadadezer [had previously] ruled.
9 Ko je Toí, kralj Hamáta, slišal, da je David udaril vso Hadadézerjevo vojsko,
When Toi, the king of the Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
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 greet King David and to (congratulate him/say that he was happy) about his army defeating Hadadezer’s army, which Toi’s [army] had fought many times. Joram brought to David many items/gifts made from 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 all those items to Yahweh. He also dedicated the silver and gold which his army had taken from the nations that they had conquered.
12 od Sirije in od Moába in od Amónovih otrok in od Filistejcev in od Amáleka in od Hadadézerjevega plena, Rehóbovega sina, kralja Cobe.
They had taken items from the Edom people-group and the Moab people-group, from the Ammon people-group, from the Philistia people, and from [the descendants of] Amalek, as well as from the people that Hadadezer [previously] ruled.
13 David si je pridobil ime, ko se je vrnil iz udarjanja Sircev v solni dolini, ki jih je bilo osemnajst tisoč mož.
When David returned [after defeating the armies of Syria], he became more famous because his army killed 18,000 soldiers from the Edom people-group in the Salt Valley [near the Dead Sea].
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.
David stationed (groups of his soldiers/army camps) throughout the Edom area, and forced the people there to accept him as their king. Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles wherever they went.
15 David je kraljeval nad vsem Izraelom in David je izvajal sodbo in pravico vsemu svojemu ljudstvu.
David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was fair and just.
16 Cerújin sin Joáb je bil nad vojsko, Ahilúdov sin Józafat je bil letopisec,
Joab was the army commander; Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the man who reported to the people everything that David decided that they should do;
17 Ahitúbov sin Cadók in Abjatárjev sin Ahiméleh sta bila duhovnika, Serajá je bil pisar,
Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; Seraiah was the official secretary;
18 Jojadájev sin Benajá je bil tako nad Keretéjci in Péletovci, Davidovi sinovi pa so bili glavni vladarji.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was the commander of (David’s bodyguards/the men who protected the king); and David’s sons were priests (OR, his administrators/advisors).
