1 Samuel 17
1 Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim.
Filistejci skupiše svoje čete za rat i sastaše se kod Soka u Judeji. Tabor udariše između Soka i Azeke kod Efes Damima.
2 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched in the vale of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
A Šaul i Izraelci skupiše se i utaboriše u Terebintskoj dolini, i svrstaše se za boj protiv Filistejaca.
3 And the Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side; and there was a valley between them.
Filistejci su stajali na gori s jedne strane, Izraelci na gori s druge strane, a dolina bila među njima.
4 And there went out a champion from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
Iz filistejskih redova izađe jedan izazivač. Zvao se Golijat, a bio je iz Gata. Visok bijaše šest lakata i jedan pedalj.
5 And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was clad with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.
Na glavi je imao mjedenu kacigu, obučen je bio u ljuskav oklop, a oklop mu težak pet tisuća mjedenih šekela.
6 And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a javelin of brass between his shoulders.
Na nogama je imao mjedene nogavice, a na ramenima mjedenu sulicu.
7 And the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron; and his shield-bearer went before him.
Kopljača njegova koplja bila je kao tkalačko vratilo, a šiljak koplja težak šest stotina željeznih šekela. Pred njim je stupao štitonoša.
8 And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them: 'Why do ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.
On se postavi pred izraelske bojne redove i dovikne im: “Što ste izašli da se svrstate za bitku? Nisam li ja Filistejac, a vi Šaulove sluge? Izaberite između sebe jednoga čovjeka pa neka siđe k meni!
9 If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.'
Ako pobijedi u borbi sa mnom i pogubi me, mi ćemo biti vaše sluge. Ako li ja pobijedim njega i pogubim ga, onda ćete vi biti naše sluge i nama ćete robovati.”
10 And the Philistine said: 'I do taunt the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.'
Još je Filistejac rekao: “Ja sam danas izazvao Izraelove bojne redove. Dajte mi čovjeka da se ogledamo u dvoboju!”
11 And when Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
Kad je Šaul i sav Izrael čuo što je rekao Filistejac, obuze ih strah i drhat.
12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth-lehem in Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons; and the man was an old man in the days of Saul, stricken in years among men.
David je bio sin nekoga Efraćanina iz Betlehema u Judeji; taj se zvao Jišaj, a imao je osam sinova. Taj je čovjek u Šaulovo vrijeme bio star i odmakao u godinama.
13 And the three eldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle; and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the first-born, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
Tri najstarija Jišajeva sina bijahu otišla u rat za Šaulom; a ta trojica njegovih sinova koji bijahu otišli u rat zvahu se: najstariji Eliab, drugi Abinadab, a treći Šama.
14 And David was the youngest; and the three eldest followed Saul. —
David bijaše najmlađi. A tri najstarija bijahu otišla za Šaulom. -
15 Now David went to and fro from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Beth-lehem. —
David je odlazio k Šaulu i vraćao se iz njegove službe da pase stada svoga oca u Betlehemu.
16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
A Filistejac izlazio svakoga jutra i večeri i postavljao se tako četrdeset dana. -
17 And Jesse said unto David his son: 'Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to thy brethren.
A Jišaj reče svome sinu Davidu: “Uzmi za svoju braću ovu efu prženoga žita i ovih deset hljebova i odnesi brže svojoj braći u tabor.
18 And bring these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and to thy brethren shalt thou bring greetings, and take their pledge;
A ovih deset sireva odnesi njihovu tisućniku. Propitaj se za zdravlje svoje braće i donesi od njih znak da si izvršio nalog!
19 now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, are in the vale of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.'
Oni su sa Šaulom i svim Izraelom u Terebintskoj dolini: vojuju protiv Filistejaca.”
20 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 barricade, as the host which was going forth to the fight shouted for the battle.
David ustade u rano jutro, ostavi stado jednom čuvaru, spremi se i ode kako mu bijaše zapovjedio Jišaj. U tabor je stigao kad je vojska izlazila u bojni red i dizala bojni poklik.
21 And Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, army against army.
Izraelci i Filistejci svrstaše se u bojni red jedni prema drugima.
22 And David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran to the army, and came and greeted his brethren.
David ostavi svoje stvari čuvaru opreme pa otrča u bojni red. Došavši, zapita svoju braću za zdravlje.
23 And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words; and David heard them.
Dok je s njima govorio, gle, onaj izazivač (zvao se Golijat, Filistejac iz Gata) iziđe iz filistejskih bojnih redova i ponovi iste riječi kao prije. I David ih je čuo.
24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
A čim su Izraelci ugledali toga čovjeka, pobjegoše svi daleko od njega i strah ih uhvati.
25 And the men of Israel said: 'Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to taunt Israel is he come up; and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.'
Neki Izraelac reče: “Jeste li vidjeli onoga čovjeka što je izišao? A izišao je da izaziva Izraela. Tko njega pogubi, kralj će mu dati silno blago i dat će mu svoju kćer i oslobodit će od poreza njegov očinski dom u Izraelu.”
26 And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying: 'What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the taunt from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should have taunted the armies of the living God?'
Tada David zapita ljude koji stajahu oko njega: “Što će to dobiti čovjek koji ubije toga Filistejca i skine sramotu s Izraela? I tko je taj neobrezani Filistejac da izaziva bojne redove živoga Boga?”
27 And the people answered him after this manner, saying: 'So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.'
A narod mu odgovori istim riječima kao prije: “Eto to će dobiti čovjek koji ga pogubi.”
28 And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spoke unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said: 'Why art thou come down? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy presumptuousness, and the naughtiness of thy heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.'
A kad je Eliab, njegov najstariji brat, čuo kako se razgovara s ljudima, usplamtje gnjevom na Davida pa mu reče: “A što si ti došao ovamo? Kome si ostavio ono malo ovaca u pustinji? Znam ja tvoju drskost i zlobu tvoga srca: došao si da vidiš bitku!”
29 And David said: 'What have I now done? Was it not but a word?'
A David odgovori: “A što sam učinio? Zar se ne smije ni riječ reći?”
30 And he turned away from him toward another, and spoke after the same manner; and the people answered him after the former manner.
Tada se okrene od njega k drugome i zapita istim riječima kao prije. Narod mu odgovori isto kao prvi put.
31 And when the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed them before Saul; and he was taken to him.
Kad su ljudi čuli što je govorio David, jave to Šaulu, a on ga pozva preda se.
32 And David said to Saul: 'Let no man's heart fail within him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.'
David reče Šaulu: “Neka nikome ne klone srce zbog onoga čovjeka! Tvoj će sluga izaći i borit će se s tim Filistejcem.”
33 And Saul said to David: 'Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.'
Ali Šaul odvrati Davidu: “Ne možeš ti izaći na toga Filistejca da se boriš s njim jer si ti još dijete, a on ratnik od svoje mladosti.”
34 And David said unto Saul: 'Thy servant kept his father's sheep; and when there came a lion, or a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock,
Ali David odgovori Šaulu: “Tvoj je sluga čuvao ovce svome ocu, pa kad bi došao lav ili medvjed te uhvatio ovcu iz stada,
35 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.
ja bih potrčao za njim, udario ga i istrgao mu ovcu iz ralja. A ako bi se on digao na me, uhvatio bih ga za grivu i udarao ga dok ga ne bih ubio.
36 Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath taunted the armies of the living God.'
I lava je i medvjeda tvoj sluga ubio, pa će i taj neobrezani Filistejac proći kao jedan od njih jer je izazvao bojne čete Boga živoga.”
37 And David said: '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 unto David: 'Go, and the LORD shall be with thee.'
David još dometne: “Jahve koji me izbavio iz lavlje pandže i medvjeđe šape izbavit će me i iz ruku toga Filistejca.” Tada Šaul reče Davidu: “Idi i Jahve neka bude s tobom!”
38 And Saul clad David with his apparel, and he put a helmet of brass upon his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail.
Šaul obuče Davida u svoju ratnu odoru, na glavu mu ustače mjedenu kacigu i stavi mu oklop.
39 And David girded his sword upon his apparel, and he essayed to go, but could not; for he had not tried it. And David said unto Saul: 'I cannot go with these; for I have not tried them.' And David put them off him.
Pripasa Davidu svoj mač preko odore, ali David uzalud pokuša hodati, jer ne bijaše navikao, pa reče Šaulu: “Ne mogu hodati u tome jer nisam navikao.” Zato sve skinu sa sebe.
40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's bag which he had, even in his scrip; and his sling was in his hand; and he drew near to the Philistine.
David uze svoj štap u ruku, izabra u potoku pet glatkih kamenova i metnu ih u svoju pastirsku torbu, koja mu je služila kao torba za praćku, te s praćkom u ruci pođe prema Filistejcu.
41 And the Philistine came nearer and nearer unto David; and the man that bore the shield went before him.
A Filistejac se sve bliže primicao Davidu, dok je njegov štitonoša stupao pred njim.
42 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and withal of a fair countenance.
A kad Filistejac pogleda i vidje Davida, prezre ga s njegove mladosti - bijaše David mladić, rumen, lijepa lica.
43 And the Philistine said unto David: 'Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves?' And the Philistine cursed David by his god.
Zato Filistejac reče Davidu: “Zar sam ja pseto te ideš na me sa štapovima?” I uze proklinjati Davida svojim bogovima.
44 And the Philistine said to David: 'Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.'
Zatim Filistejac reče Davidu: “Dođi k meni da dam tvoje meso pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim!”
45 Then said David to the Philistine: 'Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin; but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast taunted.
A David odgovori Filistejcu: “Ti ideš na me mačem, kopljem i sulicom, a ja idem na te u ime Jahve Sebaota, Boga Izraelovih četa koje si ti izazvao.
46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into my hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from off thee; and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day unto 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;
Danas će te Jahve predati u moju ruku, ja ću te ubiti, skinut ću tvoju glavu i još ću danas tvoje mrtvo tijelo i mrtva tjelesa filistejske vojske dati pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim. Sva će zemlja znati da ima Bog u Izraelu.
47 and that all this assembly may know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD'S, and He will give you into our hand.'
I sav će ovaj zbor znati da Jahve ne daje pobjedu mačem ni kopljem, jer je Jahve gospodar bitke i on vas predaje u naše ruke.”
48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
Kad se Filistejac približio i pošao prema Davidu, izađe David iz bojnih redova i krenu pred Filistejca.
49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slung it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to the earth.
David segnu rukom u torbu, izvadi iz nje kamen i hitnu ga iz praćke. I pogodi Filistejca u čelo; kamen mu se zabi u čelo i on pade ničice na zemlju.
50 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.
Tako je David praćkom i kamenom nadjačao Filistejca: udario je Filistejca i ubio ga, a nije imao mača u ruci.
51 And David ran, and stood over 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 that their mighty man was dead, they fled.
Zato David potrča i stade na Filistejca, zgrabi njegov mač, izvuče ga iz korica i pogubi Filistejca odsjekavši mu glavu. Kad Filistejci vidješe kako pogibe njihov junak, nagnuše u bijeg.
52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou comest to Gai, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.
Tada ustadoše Izraelci i Judejci, digoše bojnu viku i potjeraše Filistejce do opkopa oko Gata i do gradskih vrata Ekrona; filistejski mrtvaci pokriše put od Šaarajima sve do Gata i do Ekrona.
53 And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their camp.
Nato se Izraelci vratiše iz te žestoke potjere za Filistejcima i opljačkaše njihov tabor.
54 And David took the head of the philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
A David uze Filistejčevu glavu i odnese je u Jeruzalem, a oružje njegovo položi u svoj šator.
55 And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host: 'Abner, whose son is this youth?' And Abner said: 'As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.'
Kad je Šaul vidio Davida gdje izlazi pred Filistejca, upitao je svoga vojvodu Abnera: “Čiji je sin taj mladić, Abnere?” A Abner je odgovorio: “Tako mi tvoga života, kralju, ne znam!”
56 And the king said: 'Inquire thou whose son the stripling is.'
A kralj mu reče: “Raspitaj se čiji je sin taj mladić!”
57 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.
A kad se David vratio pošto je pogubio Filistejca, uze ga Abner i dovede ga pred Šaula, a u ruci David još držaše Filistejčevu glavu.
58 And Saul said to him: 'Whose son art thou, thou young man?' And David answered: 'I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.'
Šaul ga upita: “Čiji si ti sin, momče?” A David odgovori: “Sin sam tvoga sluge Betlehemca Jišaja.”
