1 Ljetopisa 20
1 Slijedeće godine, u doba kad kraljevi izlaze u rat, izvede Joab vojsku i poče pustošiti zemlju amonsku. Došavši, opsjeo je Rabu; David bijaše ostao u Jeruzalemu. Joab je osvojio Rabu i razorio je.
And it comes to pass, at the time of the turn of the year—at the time of the going out of the messengers—that Joab leads out the force of the host, and destroys the land of the sons of Ammon, and comes in and besieges Rabbah—David is abiding in Jerusalem—and Joab strikes Rabbah, and breaks it down.
2 Tada je David uzeo njihovu kralju s glave krunu i vidio da je teška jedan zlatni talenat, a na njoj je bilo drago kamenje. Stavili su je na glavu Davidu, koji je iz grada odnio vrlo velik plijen.
And David takes the crown of their king from off his head, and finds it [to be] a talent of gold [in] weight, and [with] precious stone in it, and it is on the head of David; and he has brought out very much spoil of the city,
3 Narod koji bijaše u gradu izvede van i stavi ga da radi pilama, gvozdenim pijucima i sjekirama. Tako je David učinio svim gradovima Amonovih sinova. Potom se vratio sa svim narodom u Jeruzalem.
and he has brought out the people who [are] in it, and sets [them] to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes; and thus David does to all cities of the sons of Ammon, and David turns back—and all the people—to Jerusalem.
4 Poslije toga opet izbi rat s Filistejcima u Gezeru; tada je Hušanin Sibkaj pogubio Sipaja, koji je bio od Refaimovih potomaka; i bili su pokoreni.
And it comes to pass after this, that war remains in Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbechai the Hushathite has struck Sippai, of the children of the giant, and they are humbled.
5 Uz to je nastao i rat s Filistejcima, u kojem je Jairov sin Elhanan pogubio Lahmija, brata Golijata Gitejca, koji je imao kopljaču kao tkalačko vratilo.
And there is war with the Philistines again, and Elhanan son of Jair strikes Lahmi, brother of Goliath the Gittite, the wood of whose spear [is] like a weavers’ beam.
6 Potom opet izbi rat u Gatu, gdje je bio neki čovjek visoka rasta: imaše taj na svakoj ruci i nozi po šest prstiju, dakle dvadeset i četiri; i on bijaše Rafin potomak.
And there is war in Gath again, and there is a man of [great] measure, and his fingers and his toes [are] six and six—twenty-four [total], and he has also been born to the giant.
7 Kad je počeo ružiti Izraela, ubi ga Jonatan, sin Davidova brata Šimeja.
And he reproaches Israel, and Jonathan son of Shimea, brother of David, strikes him.
8 To su bili Rafini potomci u Gatu koji su izginuli od Davidove ruke i od ruke njegovih slugu.
These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
