2 Samuel 5
1 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, saying, "Look, we are your bone and your flesh.
Tada se sabraše sva izraelska plemena k Davidu u Hebron i rekoše: “Evo, mi smo od tvoje kosti i od tvoga mesa.
2 In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. Jehovah said to you, 'You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be ruler over Israel.'"
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!'”
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah; and they anointed David king over Israel.
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.
4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
Trideset je godina bilo Davidu kad je postao kralj, a kraljevao je četrdeset godina.
5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months; and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
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.
6 The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, "Unless you take away the blind and the lame, you shall not come in here"; thinking, "David can't come in here."
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.)
7 Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the City of David.
Ipak David osvoji Sionsku tvrđavu, to jest Davidov grad.
8 David said on that day, "Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him get up to the watercourse, and strike the lame and the blind, those who hate the soul of David." Therefore they say, "The blind and the lame can't come into the palace."
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.)
9 David lived in the stronghold, and called it the City of David. And he built a city all around from the Millo and inward.
David se nastani u tvrđavi i prozva je Davidov grad. Tada David podiže zid unaokolo od Mila pa unutra.
10 David grew greater and greater; for Jehovah of hosts was with him.
David je postajao sve silniji, jer Jahve, Bog nad vojskama, bijaše s njim.
11 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and craftsmen of wood, and craftsmen of a wall; and they built David a palace.
Tirski kralj Hiram posla k Davidu izaslanstvo i cedrova drveta, tesara i zidara, koji sagradiše dvor Davidu.
12 And David knew that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake.
Tada David spozna da ga je Jahve potvrdio za kralja nad Izraelom i da je vrlo uzvisio njegovo kraljevstvo radi svojega izraelskog naroda.
13 David took more secondary wives and wives out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and there were born to David more sons and daughters.
Po dolasku iz Hebrona David uze još inoča i žena iz Jeruzalema; i rodi se Davidu još sinova i kćeri.
14 These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
Evo imena djece koja mu se rodiše u Jeruzalemu: Šamua, Šobab, Natan, Salomon,
15 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Eliphelet, and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
Jibhar, Elišua, Nefeg, Jafija,
16 and Elishama, and Baaliada, and Eliphelet.
Elišama, Beeljada i Elifelet.
17 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the stronghold.
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.
18 Now the Philistines came and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
Filistejci dođoše i raširiše se po Refaimskoj dolini.
19 David inquired of Jehovah, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?" Jehovah said to David, "Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into your hand."
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!”
20 David came to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there; and he said, "Jehovah has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of waters." Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
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.
21 And they abandoned their idols there; and David and his men took them away.
Ostavili su ondje svoje bogove; a David i njegovi ljudi odnesoše ih.
22 The Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the Valley of Rephaim.
Filistejci opet dođoše i raširiše se po Refaimskoj dolini.
23 And David inquired of Jehovah, and Jehovah said to him, "You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them opposite the poplar trees.
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.
24 And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, that then you are to act decisively; for then Jehovah has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines."
Kad začuješ topot koraka po bekaimskim vrhovima, onda se požuri, jer će tada Jahve ići pred tobom da pobije filistejsku vojsku.”
25 David did so, as Jehovah commanded him, and struck the Philistines from Geba as far as the approach to Gezer.
David učini kako mu je zapovjedio Jahve i pobi Filistejce od Gibeona sve do ulaza u Gezer.
