Prva knjiga o Samuelu 17

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Filistejci skupiše svoje čete za rat i sastaše se kod Soka u Judeji. Tabor udariše između Soka i Azeke kod Efes Damima.	1 The Philistines mustered their troops for war; they assembled at Socoh in Judah and pitched campbetween Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes-Dammim.
2 A Šaul i Izraelci skupiše se i utaboriše u Terebintskoj dolini, i svrstaše se za boj protiv Filistejaca.	2 Saul and the Israelites also mustered, pitching camp in the Val ey of the Terebinth, and drew up theirbattle-line opposite the Philistines.
3 Filistejci su stajali na gori s jedne strane, Izraelci na gori s druge strane, a dolina bila među njima.	3 The Philistines occupied the high ground on one side and the Israelites occupied the high ground onthe other side, with the valley between them.
4 Iz filistejskih redova izađe jedan izazivač. Zvao se Golijat, a bio je iz Gata. Visok bijaše šest lakata i jedan pedalj.	4 A champion stepped out from the Philistine ranks; his name was Goliath, from Gath; he was six cubitsand one span tal .
5 Na glavi je imao mjedenu kacigu, obučen je bio u ljuskav oklop, a oklop mu težak pet tisuća mjedenih šekela.	5 On his head was a bronze helmet and he wore a breastplate of scale-armour; the breastplate weighedfive thousand shekels of bronze.
6 Na nogama je imao mjedene nogavice, a na ramenima mjedenu sulicu.	6 He had bronze greaves on his legs and a bronze scimitar slung across his shoulders.
7 Kopljača njegova koplja bila je kao tkalačko vratilo, a šiljak koplja težak šest stotina željeznih šekela. Pred njim je stupao štitonoša.	7 The shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and the head of his spear weighed six hundredshekels of iron. A shield-bearer walked in front of him.
8 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!	8 Taking position in front of the Israelite lines, he shouted, 'Why have you come out to range yourselvesfor battle? Am I not a Philistine and are you not Saul's lackeys? Choose a man and let him come down to me.
9 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.«	9 If he can fight it out with me and kil me, we wil be your servants; but if I can beat him and kill him, youbecome our servants and serve us.'
10 Još je Filistejac rekao: »Ja sam danas izazvao Izraelove bojne redove. Dajte mi čovjeka da se ogledamo u dvoboju!«	10 The Philistine then said, 'I challenge the ranks of Israel today. Give me a man and we will fight it out!'
11 Kad je Šaul i sav Izrael čuo što je rekao Filistejac, obuze ih strah i trepet.	11 When Saul and all Israel heard what the Philistine said, they were dismayed and terrified.
12 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.	12 David was the son of an Ephrathite from Bethlehem of Judah whose name was Jesse; Jesse hadeight sons and, by Saul's time, he was old and wel on in years.
13 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.	13 Jesse's eldest three sons fol owed Saul to the war. The names of the three sons who went to the warwere: the eldest Eliab, the second Abinadab and the third Shammah.
14 David bijaše najmlađi. A tri najstarija bijahu otišla za Šaulom. –	14 David was the youngest; the eldest three followed Saul.
15 David je odlazio k Šaulu i vraćao se iz njegove službe da pase stada svoga oca u Betlehemu.	15 David alternated between serving Saul and looking after his father's sheep at Bethlehem.
16 A Filistejac izlazio svakoga jutra i večeri i postavljao se tako četrdeset dana. –	16 Morning and evening, the Philistine advanced, presenting himself thus for forty days.
17 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.	17 Jesse said to his son David, 'Take your brothers this ephah of roasted grain and these ten loaves,and hurry to the camp, to your brothers.
18 A ovih deset sireva odnesi njihovu tisućniku. Propitaj se za zdravlje svoje braće i donesi od njih znak da si izvršio nalog!	18 And take these ten cheeses to their commanding officer; find out how your brothers are and bringsome token back from them;
19 Oni su sa Šaulom i svim Izraelom u Terebintskoj dolini: vojuju protiv Filistejaca.«	19 they are with Saul and al the men of Israel in the Val ey of the Terebinth, fighting the Philistines.'
20 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.	20 David got up early in the morning and, leaving the sheep with someone to guard them, took up hisload and went off as Jesse had ordered; he reached the encampment just as the troops were leaving to take upbattle stations and shouting the war cry.
21 Izraelci i Filistejci svrstaše se u bojni red jedni prema drugima.	21 Israel and the Philistines drew up their lines facing one another.
22 David ostavi svoje stvari čuvaru opreme pa otrča u bojni red. Došavši, zapita svoju braću za zdravlje.	22 David left his bundle in charge of the baggage guard and, running to the battle-line, went and askedhis brothers how they were.
23 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.	23 While he was talking to them, the champion (Goliath, the Philistine from Gath) came up from thePhilistine ranks and made his usual speech, which David heard.
24 A čim su Izraelci ugledali toga čovjeka, pobjegoše svi daleko od njega i strah ih uhvati.	24 As soon as the Israelites saw this man, they all ran away from him and were terrified.
25 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.«	25 The Israelites said, 'You saw that man who just came up? He comes to challenge Israel. The king willavish riches on the man who kills him, he wil give him his daughter in marriage and exempt his father's familyfrom al taxes in Israel.'
26 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?«	26 David asked the men who were standing near him, 'What would be the reward for kil ing thisPhilistine and saving Israel from disgrace? Who is this uncircumcised Philistine, to chal enge the armies of theliving God?'
27 A narod mu odgovori istim riječima kao prije: »Eto to će dobiti čovjek koji ga pogubi.«	27 The people told him what they had been saying, 'That would be the reward for killing him,' they said.
28 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!«	28 His eldest brother Eliab heard David talking to the men and grew angry with him. 'Why have youcome down here?' he said. 'Whom have you left in charge of those few sheep in the desert? I know howimpudent and artful you are; you have come to watch the battle!'
29 A David odgovori: »A što sam učinio? Zar se ne smije ni riječ reći?«	29 David retorted, 'What have I done? May I not even speak?'
30 Tada se okrene od njega k drugome i zapita istim riječima kao prije. Narod mu odgovori isto kao prvi put.	30 And he turned away from him to someone else and asked the same question, to which the peoplereplied as before.
31 Kad su ljudi čuli što je govorio David, jave to Šaulu, a on ga pozva preda se.	31 David's words were noted, however, and reported to Saul, who sent for him.
32 David reče Šaulu: »Neka nikome ne klone srce zbog onoga čovjeka! Tvoj će sluga izaći i borit će se s tim Filistejcem.«	32 David said to Saul, 'Let no one be discouraged on his account; your servant wil go and fight thisPhilistine.'
33 Ali Šaul odvrati Davidu: »Ne možeš ti izaći na toga Filistejca da se boriš s njim jer si ti još premlad, a on ratnik od svoje mladosti.«	33 Saul said to David, 'You cannot go and fight the Philistine; you are only a boy and he has been awarrior since his youth.'
34 Ali David odgovori Šaulu: »Tvoj je sluga čuvao ovce svome ocu, pa kad bi došao lav ili medvjed te uhvatio ovcu iz stada,	34 David said to Saul, 'Your servant used to look after the sheep for his father and whenever a lion or abear came and took a sheep from the flock,
35 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.	35 I used to fol ow it up, lay into it and snatch the sheep out of its jaws. If it turned on me, I would seize itby the beard and batter it to death.
36 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.«	36 Your servant has kil ed both lion and bear, and this uncircumcised Philistine will end up like one ofthem for having chal enged the armies of the living God.'
37 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!«	37 'Yahweh,' David went on, 'who delivered me from the claws of lion and bear, wil deliver me from theclutches of this Philistine.' Then Saul said to David, 'Go, and Yahweh be with you!'
38 Šaul obuče Davida u svoju ratnu odoru, na glavu mu ustače mjedenu kacigu i stavi mu oklop.	38 Saul dressed David in his own armour; he put a bronze helmet on his head, dressed him in abreastplate
39 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.	39 and buckled his own sword over David's armour. David tried to walk but, not being used to them, saidto Saul, 'I cannot walk in these; I am not used to them.' So they took them off again.
40 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.	40 He took his stick in his hand, selected five smooth stones from the river bed and put them in hisshepherd's bag, in his pouch; then, sling in hand, he walked towards the Philistine.
41 A Filistejac se sve bliže primicao Davidu, dok je njegov štitonoša stupao pred njim.	41 The Philistine, preceded by his shield-bearer, came nearer and nearer to David.
42 A kad Filistejac pogleda i vidje Davida, prezre ga s njegove mladosti – bijaše David mladić, rumen, lijepa lica.	42 When the Philistine looked David up and down, what he saw fil ed him with scorn, because Davidwas only a lad, with ruddy cheeks and an attractive appearance.
43 Zato Filistejac reče Davidu: »Zar sam ja pseto te ideš na me sa štapovima?« I uze proklinjati Davida svojim bogovima.	43 The Philistine said to David, 'Am I a dog for you to come after me with sticks?' And the Philistinecursed David by his gods.
44 Zatim Filistejac reče Davidu: »Dođi k meni da dam tvoje meso pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim!«	44 The Philistine said to David, 'Come over here and I wil give your flesh to the birds of the air and thewild beasts!'
45 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.	45 David retorted to the Philistine, 'You come to me with sword, spear and scimitar, but I come to you inthe name of Yahweh Sabaoth, God of the armies of Israel, whom you have chal enged.
46 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.	46 Today, Yahweh will deliver you into my hand; I shall kil you, I shall cut off your head; today, I shallgive your corpse and the corpses of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the wild beasts, so that thewhole world may know that there is a God in Israel,
47 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.«	47 and this whole assembly know that Yahweh does not give victory by means of sword and spear -- forYahweh is lord of the battle and he wil deliver you into our power.'
48 Kad se Filistejac približio i pošao prema Davidu, izađe David iz bojnih redova i krenu pred Filistejca.	48 No sooner had the Philistine started forward to confront David than David darted out of the lines andran to meet the Philistine.
49 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.	49 Putting his hand in his bag, he took out a stone, slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead; thestone penetrated his forehead and he fel face downwards on the ground.
50 Tako je David praćkom i kamenom nadjačao Filistejca: udario je Filistejca i ubio ga, a nije imao mača u ruci.	50 Thus David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; he hit the Philistine and kil ed him,though he had no sword in his hand.
51 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.	51 David ran and stood over the Philistine, seized his sword, pul ed it from the scabbard, despatchedhim and cut off his head. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
52 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.	52 The men of Israel and of Judah started forward, shouting their war cry, and pursued the Philistines asfar as the approaches of Gath and the gates of Ekron. The Philistine dead lay al along the road from Shaaraimas far as Gath and Ekron.
53 Nato se Izraelci vratiše iz te žestoke potjere za Filistejcima i opljačkaše njihov tabor.	53 Turning back from their ferocious pursuit of the Philistines, the Israelites plundered their camp.
54 A David uze Filistejčevu glavu i odnese je u Jeruzalem, a oružje njegovo položi u svoj šator.	54 And David took the Philistine's head and brought it to Jerusalem; his weapons, however, he put in hisown tent.
55 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!«	55 When Saul saw David going to engage the Philistine he said to Abner, the army commander, 'Abner,whose son is that boy?' 'On your life, O king,' Abner replied, 'I do not know.'
56 A kralj mu reče: »Raspitaj se čiji je sin taj mladić!«	56 The king said, 'Find out whose son the lad is.'
57 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.	57 When David came back after kil ing the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul withthe Philistine's head in his hand.
58 Šaul ga upita: »Čiji si ti sin, momče?« A David odgovori: »Sin sam tvoga sluge Betlehemca Jišaja.«	58 Saul asked him, 'Whose son are you, young man?' David replied, 'The son of your servant Jesse ofBethlehem.'
