2 Samuelova 5

1 Tada se sabraše sva izraelska plemena k Davidu u Hebron i rekoše: “Evo, mi smo od tvoje kosti i od tvoga mesa.

And all the tribes of Israel come to David, to Hebron, and speak, saying, “Behold, we [are] your bone and your flesh;

2 Još prije, dok je još Šaul bio kralj nad nama, ti si upravljao svim pokretima Izraela, a Jahve ti je rekao: 'Ti ćeš pasti moj izraelski narod i ti ćeš biti knez nad Izraelom!'”

also thus far, in Saul’s being king over us, you have been he who is bringing out and bringing in Israel, and YHWH says to you, You feed My people Israel, and you are for leader over Israel.”

3 Tako dođoše sve izraelske starješine kralju u Hebron, a kralj David sklopi s njima savez u Hebronu pred Jahvom; i pomazaše Davida za kralja nad Izraelom.

And all [the] elderly of Israel come to the king, to Hebron, and King David makes a covenant with them in Hebron before YHWH, and they anoint David for king over Israel.

4 Trideset je godina bilo Davidu kad je postao kralj, a kraljevao je četrdeset godina.

A son of thirty years [is] David in his being king; he has reigned [for] forty years;

5 U Hebronu je kraljevao nad Judom sedam godina i šest mjeseci, a u Jeruzalemu kraljevaše trideset i tri godine nad svim Izraelom i nad Judom.

he reigned over Judah in Hebron [for] seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned [for] thirty-three years, over all Israel and Judah.

6 David krene s ljudima na Jeruzalem protiv Jebusejaca, koji su živjeli u onoj zemlji. Ali oni poručiše Davidu: “Nećeš ući ovamo! Slijepci će te i kljasti odbiti!” (To je imalo značiti: David neće ući ovamo.)

And the king goes, and his men, to Jerusalem, to the Jebusite, the inhabitant of the land, and they speak to David, saying, “You do not come in here, except [that] you turn aside the blind and the lame,” saying, “David does not come in here.”

7 Ipak David osvoji Sionsku tvrđavu, to jest Davidov grad.

And David captures the fortress of Zion, it [is] the City of David.

8 Onoga dana reče David: “Tko god pobije Jebusejce i popne se kroz prorov ...” A kljaste i slijepe mrzi David iz sve duše. (Stoga se kaže: Slijepci i kljasti neka ne ulaze u Hram.)

And on that day David says, “Anyone striking the Jebusite, let him go up by the watercourse (and the lame and the blind—the hated of David’s soul).” Therefore they say, “The blind and lame—he does not come into the house.”

9 David se nastani u tvrđavi i prozva je Davidov grad. Tada David podiže zid unaokolo od Mila pa unutra.

And David dwells in the fortress, and calls it the City of David, and David builds all around, from Millo and inward,

10 David je postajao sve silniji, jer Jahve, Bog nad vojskama, bijaše s njim.

and David goes, going on and becoming great, and YHWH, God of Hosts, [is] with him.

11 Tirski kralj Hiram posla k Davidu izaslanstvo i cedrova drveta, tesara i zidara, koji sagradiše dvor Davidu.

And Hiram king of Tyre sends messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and craftsmen of wood, and craftsmen of stone, for walls, and they build a house for David,

12 Tada David spozna da ga je Jahve potvrdio za kralja nad Izraelom i da je vrlo uzvisio njegovo kraljevstvo radi svojega izraelskog naroda.

and David knows that YHWH has established him for king over Israel, and that He has lifted up his kingdom, because of His people Israel.

13 Po dolasku iz Hebrona David uze još inoča i žena iz Jeruzalema; i rodi se Davidu još sinova i kćeri.

And again David takes concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after his coming from Hebron, and again there are born to David sons and daughters.

14 Evo imena djece koja mu se rodiše u Jeruzalemu: Šamua, Šobab, Natan, Salomon,

And these [are] the names of those born to him in Jerusalem: Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

15 Jibhar, Elišua, Nefeg, Jafija,

and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

16 Elišama, Beeljada i Elifelet.

and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

17 Kad su Filistejci čuli da su Davida pomazali za kralja nad Izraelom, iziđoše svi da se dočepaju Davida. Čuvši to, David siđe u svoj zaklon.

And the Philistines hear that they have anointed David for king over Israel, and all the Philistines come up to seek David, and David hears, and goes down to the fortress,

18 Filistejci dođoše i raširiše se po Refaimskoj dolini.

and the Philistines have come, and are spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.

19 Tada David upita Jahvu: “Mogu li napasti Filistejce? Hoćeš li ih predati meni u ruke?” Jahve odgovori Davidu: “Napadni! Predat ću Filistejce tebi u ruke!”

And David asks of YHWH, saying, “Do I go up to the Philistines? Do You give them into my hand?” And YHWH says to David, “Go up, for I certainly give the Philistines into your hand.”

20 Tada David dođe u Baal Perasim i ondje ih pobi. David reče: “Jahve je preda mnom prodro među moje neprijatelje kao što voda prodire.” Stoga se ono mjesto prozvalo Baal Perasim.

And David comes to Ba‘al-Perazim, and David strikes them there, and says, “YHWH has broken forth [on] my enemies before me, as the breaking forth of waters”; therefore he has called the name of that place Ba‘al-Perazim.

21 Ostavili su ondje svoje bogove; a David i njegovi ljudi odnesoše ih.

And they forsake their idols there, and David and his men lift them up.

22 Filistejci opet dođoše i raširiše se po Refaimskoj dolini.

And the Philistines add again to come up, and are spread out in the Valley of Rephaim,

23 David opet upita Jahvu, a on mu odgovori: “Ne idi pred njih, nego im zađi za leđa i navali na njih s protivne strane Bekaima.

and David asks of YHWH, and He says, “You do not go up, turn around to their rear, and you have come to them from the front [[or in front]] of the mulberries,

24 Kad začuješ topot koraka po bekaimskim vrhovima, onda se požuri, jer će tada Jahve ići pred tobom da pobije filistejsku vojsku.”

and it comes to pass, in your hearing the sound of a stepping in the tops of the mulberries, then you move sharply, for then YHWH has gone out before you to strike in the camp of the Philistines.”

25 David učini kako mu je zapovjedio Jahve i pobi Filistejce od Gibeona sve do ulaza u Gezer.

And David does so, as YHWH commanded him, and strikes the Philistines from Geba to your coming to Gazer.
