1 Samuel, 17

1. Now the Philistines, gathering their troops for battle, assembled at Socoh of Judah. And they made camp between Socoh and Azekah, within the borders of Dammim.

1. Filistejci skupiše svoje èete za rat i sastaše se kod Soka u Judeji. Tabor udariše izmeðu Soka i Azeke kod Efes Damima.

2. But Saul and the sons of Israel, having gathered together, went to the Valley of Terebinth. And they positioned the army so as to fight against the Philistines.

2. A Šaul i Izraelci skupiše se i utaboriše u Terebintskoj dolini, i svrstaše se za boj protiv Filistejaca.

3. And the Philistines were standing on a mountain on the one side, and Israel was standing on a mountain on the other side. And there was a valley between them.

3. Filistejci su stajali na gori s jedne strane, Izraelci na gori s druge strane, a dolina bila meðu njima.

4. And there went out from the camp of the Philistines, a man of illegitimate birth, named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a palm.

4. Iz filistejskih redova izaðe jedan izazivaè. 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 clothed with a breastplate of scales. Moreover, the weight of his breastplate was five thousand shekels of brass.

5. Na glavi je imao mjedenu kacigu, obuèen je bio u ljuskav oklop, a oklop mu težak pet tisuæa mjedenih šekela.

6. And he had plates of brass on his lower legs, and a small shield of brass was covering his shoulders.

6. Na nogama je imao mjedene nogavice, a na ramenima mjedenu sulicu.

7. Now the shaft of his spear was like the beam used by a weaver. And the iron of his spear held six hundred shekels of iron. And his armor bearer went before him.

7. Kopljaèa njegova koplja bila je kao tkalaèko vratilo, a šiljak koplja težak šest stotina željeznih šekela. Pred njim je stupao štitonoša.

8. And standing still, he cried out to the battle lines of Israel, and he said to them: “Why have you arrived, prepared for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not the servants of Saul? Choose one man from among you, and let him descend to do battle alone.

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 izmeðu sebe jednoga èovjeka pa neka siðe k meni!

9. If he is able to fight with me and to strike me down, we will be your servants. But if I will prevail over him, and strike him down, you will be the servants, and you will serve us.”

9. Ako pobijedi u borbi sa mnom i pogubi me, mi æemo biti vaše sluge. Ako li ja pobijedim njega i pogubim ga, onda æete vi biti naše sluge i nama æete robovati."

10. And the Philistine was saying: “I have reproached the troops of Israel today. Present a man to me, and let him undertake a fight against me alone.”

10. Još je Filistejac rekao: "Ja sam danas izazvao Izraelove bojne redove. Dajte mi èovjeka da se ogledamo u dvoboju!"

11. And Saul and all the Israelites, hearing these words of the Philistine in this manner, were stupefied and exceedingly afraid.

11. Kad je Šaul i sav Izrael èuo što je rekao Filistejac, obuze ih strah i drhat.

12. Now David was the son of an Ephrathite man, the one mentioned above, from Bethlehem of Judah, whose name was Jesse. He had eight sons, and during the days of Saul, he was an elderly man, and of great age among men.

12. David je bio sin nekoga Efraæanina iz Betlehema u Judeji; taj se zvao Jišaj, a imao je osam sinova. Taj je èovjek u Šaulovo vrijeme bio star i odmakao u godinama.

13. Now his three eldest sons followed Saul into battle. And the names of his three sons, who went to the battle, were Eliab, the firstborn, and the second, Abinadab, and the third Shammah.

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 treæi Šama.

14. But David was the youngest. Therefore, when the three eldest had followed Saul,

14. David bijaše najmlaði. A tri najstarija bijahu otišla za Šaulom. -

15. David went away from Saul, and he returned, so that he might pasture the flock of his father at Bethlehem.

15. David je odlazio k Šaulu i vraæao se iz njegove službe da pase stada svoga oca u Betlehemu.

16. Truly, the Philistine advanced morning and evening, and he stood forth, for forty days.

16. A Filistejac izlazio svakoga jutra i veèeri i postavljao se tako èetrdeset dana. -

17. Now Jesse said to his son David: “Take, for your brothers, an ephah of cooked grain, and these ten loaves, and hurry to the camp, to your brothers.

17. A Jišaj reèe svome sinu Davidu: "Uzmi za svoju braæu ovu efu prženoga žita i ovih deset hljebova i odnesi brže svojoj braæi u tabor.

18. And you shall carry these ten little cheeses to the tribune. And visit your brothers, to see if they are doing well. And learn with whom they have been stationed.”

18. A ovih deset sireva odnesi njihovu tisuæniku. Propitaj se za zdravlje svoje braæe i donesi od njih znak da si izvršio nalog!

19. But they were in the valley of Terebinth, with Saul and all the sons of Israel, fighting against the Philistines.

19. Oni su sa Šaulom i svim Izraelom u Terebintskoj dolini: vojuju protiv Filistejaca."

20. And so, David rose up in the morning, and he commended the flock to the caretaker. And he went away burdened, just as Jesse had instructed him. And he went to the place of the battle line, and to the army, which, in going out to fight, was shouting in the conflict.

20. David ustade u rano jutro, ostavi stado jednom èuvaru, 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. For Israel had positioned their troops, but the Philistines also had prepared themselves against them.

21. Izraelci i Filistejci svrstaše se u bojni red jedni prema drugima.

22. Then, leaving the items that he had brought under the hand of the keeper of baggage, David ran to the place of the conflict. And he was asking if all was going well with his brothers.

22. David ostavi svoje stvari èuvaru opreme pa otrèa u bojni red. Došavši, zapita svoju braæu za zdravlje.

23. And while he was still speaking with them, there appeared the man of spurious descent, whose name was Goliath, the Philistine of Gath, ascending from the camp of the Philistines. And he was speaking in these same words, which David heard.

23. Dok je s njima govorio, gle, onaj izazivaè (zvao se Golijat, Filistejac iz Gata) iziðe iz filistejskih bojnih redova i ponovi iste rijeèi kao prije. I David ih je èuo.

24. Then all the Israelites, when they had seen the man, fled from his face, fearing him greatly.

24. A èim su Izraelci ugledali toga èovjeka, pobjegoše svi daleko od njega i strah ih uhvati.

25. And someone of Israel said: “Have you seen this man, who has risen up. For he ascended in order to reproach Israel. Therefore, the man who will strike him down, the king will enrich with great wealth, and will give to him his daughter, and will cause his father’s house to be free of tribute in Israel.”

25. Neki Izraelac reèe: "Jeste li vidjeli onoga èovjeka što je izišao? A izišao je da izaziva Izraela. Tko njega pogubi, kralj æe mu dati silno blago i dat æe mu svoju kæer i oslobodit æe od poreza njegov oèinski dom u Izraelu."

26. And David spoke to the men who were standing with him, saying: “What will be given to the man who will have struck down this Philistine, and who will have taken away the disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should reproach the soldiers of the living God?”

26. Tada David zapita ljude koji stajahu oko njega: "Što æe to dobiti èovjek koji ubije toga Filistejca i skine sramotu s Izraela? I tko je taj neobrezani Filistejac da izaziva bojne redove živoga Boga?"

27. Then the people repeated to him the same words, saying, “These things shall be given to the man who will have struck him down.”

27. A narod mu odgovori istim rijeèima kao prije: "Eto to æe dobiti èovjek koji ga pogubi."

28. Now when Eliab, his eldest brother, had heard this, as he was speaking with the others, he became angry against David, and he said: “Why did you come here? And why did you leave behind those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the wickedness of your heart, that you have come down so that you might see the battle.”

28. A kad je Eliab, njegov najstariji brat, èuo kako se razgovara s ljudima, usplamtje gnjevom na Davida pa mu reèe: "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 done? Is there any word against me?”

29. A David odgovori: "A što sam uèinio? Zar se ne smije ni rijeè reæi?"

30. And he turned away from him a little, toward another. And he asked the same question. And the people responded to him as before.

30. Tada se okrene od njega k drugome i zapita istim rijeèima kao prije. Narod mu odgovori isto kao prvi put.

31. Now the words that David had spoken were heard and reported in the sight of Saul.

31. Kad su ljudi èuli što je govorio David, jave to Šaulu, a on ga pozva preda se.

32. When he had been led to Saul, he said to him: “Let no one lose heart over him. I, your servant, shall go and fight against the Philistine.”

32. David reèe Šaulu: "Neka nikome ne klone srce zbog onoga èovjeka! Tvoj æe sluga izaæi i borit æe se s tim Filistejcem."

33. And Saul said to David: “You are not able to withstand this Philistine, nor to fight against him. For you are a boy, but he has been a warrior from his boyhood.”

33. Ali Šaul odvrati Davidu: "Ne možeš ti izaæi na toga Filistejca da se boriš s njim jer si ti još dijete, a on ratnik od svoje mladosti."

34. And David said to Saul: “Your servant was pasturing the flock of his father. And there approached a lion or a bear, and it took a ram from the midst of the flock.

34. Ali David odgovori Šaulu: "Tvoj je sluga èuvao ovce svome ocu, pa kad bi došao lav ili medvjed te uhvatio ovcu iz stada,

35. And I pursued after them, and I struck them, and I rescued from their mouth. And they rose up against me. And I caught them by the throat, and I strangled and killed them.

35. ja bih potrèao 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. For I, your servant, have killed both lion and bear. And so this uncircumcised Philistine, too, will be like one of them. Now I will go and take away the reproach of the people. For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, who has dared to curse the army of the living God?”

36. I lava je i medvjeda tvoj sluga ubio, pa æe i taj neobrezani Filistejac proæi kao jedan od njih jer je izazvao bojne èete Boga živoga."

37. And David said, “The Lord who rescued me from the hand of the lion, and from the hand of the bear, he himself will free me from the hand of this Philistine.” Then Saul said to David, “Go, and may the Lord be with you.”

37. David još dometne: "Jahve koji me izbavio iz lavlje pandže i medvjeðe šape izbavit æe me i iz ruku toga Filistejca." Tada Šaul reèe Davidu: "Idi i Jahve neka bude s tobom!"

38. And Saul clothed David with his garments. And he placed a helmet of brass upon his head, and he clothed him with a breastplate.

38. Šaul obuèe Davida u svoju ratnu odoru, na glavu mu ustaèe mjedenu kacigu i stavi mu oklop.

39. Then David, having girded his sword over his armor, began to see if he could walk in the armor. But he was not accustomed to it. And David said to Saul: “I cannot move about in this way. For I am not used to it.” And he put them aside.

39. Pripasa Davidu svoj maè preko odore, ali David uzalud pokuša hodati, jer ne bijaše navikao, pa reèe Šaulu: "Ne mogu hodati u tome jer nisam navikao." Zato sve skinu sa sebe.

40. And he took up his staff, which he held always in his hands. And he chose for himself five very smooth stones from the torrent. And he put them into the shepherd’s bag that he had with him. And he took up a sling in his hand. And he went out against the Philistine.

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 praæku, te s praækom u ruci poðe prema Filistejcu.

41. And the Philistine, advancing, went and drew near against David. And his armor bearer was before him.

41. A Filistejac se sve bliže primicao Davidu, dok je njegov štitonoša stupao pred njim.

42. And when the Philistine had seen and considered David, he despised him. For he was a youth, ruddy and of handsome appearance.

42. A kad Filistejac pogleda i vidje Davida, prezre ga s njegove mladosti - bijaše David mladiæ, rumen, lijepa lica.

43. And the Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you approach against me with a staff?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

43. Zato Filistejac reèe Davidu: "Zar sam ja pseto te ideš na me sa štapovima?" I uze proklinjati Davida svojim bogovima.

44. And he said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.”

44. Zatim Filistejac reèe Davidu: "Doði k meni da dam tvoje meso pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim!"

45. But David said to the Philistine: “You approach me with sword, and spear, and shield. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, which you have reproached.

45. A David odgovori Filistejcu: "Ti ideš na me maèem, kopljem i sulicom, a ja idem na te u ime Jahve Sebaota, Boga Izraelovih èeta koje si ti izazvao.

46. Today, the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down. And I will take your head from you. And today, I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth, so that all the earth may know that God is with Israel.

46. Danas æe te Jahve predati u moju ruku, ja æu te ubiti, skinut æu tvoju glavu i još æu danas tvoje mrtvo tijelo i mrtva tjelesa filistejske vojske dati pticama nebeskim i zvijerima zemaljskim. Sva æe zemlja znati da ima Bog u Izraelu.

47. And this entire assembly will know that the Lord does not save by sword, nor by spear. For this is his war, and he will deliver you into our hands.”

47. I sav æe ovaj zbor znati da Jahve ne daje pobjedu maèem ni kopljem, jer je Jahve gospodar bitke i on vas predaje u naše ruke."

48. Then, when the Philistine had risen up, and was approaching, and was drawing near against David, David hurried and ran to the fight against the Philistine.

48. Kad se Filistejac približio i pošao prema Davidu, izaðe David iz bojnih redova i krenu pred Filistejca.

49. And he put his hand into his bag, and took out one stone. And swinging it around, he cast it with the sling and struck the Philistine on the forehead. And the stone became imbedded in his forehead. And he fell on his face, upon the ground.

49. David segnu rukom u torbu, izvadi iz nje kamen i hitnu ga iz praæke. I pogodi Filistejca u èelo; kamen mu se zabi u èelo i on pade nièice na zemlju.

50. And David prevailed against the Philistine with a sling and a stone. And he struck and killed the Philistine. But since David held no sword in his hand,

50. Tako je David praækom i kamenom nadjaèao Filistejca: udario je Filistejca i ubio ga, a nije imao maèa u ruci.

51. he ran and stood over the Philistine, and he took his sword, and withdrew it from the sheath. And he killed him and cut off his head. Then the Philistines, seeing that their strongest man was dead, fled away.

51. Zato David potrèa i stade na Filistejca, zgrabi njegov maè, izvuèe 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 Judah, rising up, shouted and pursued after the Philistines, even until they arrived at the valley and as far as the gates of Ekron. And many wounded among the Philistines fell on the way of Shaaraim, and as far as Gath, and as far as Ekron.

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.

53. And the sons of Israel, returning after they had pursued the Philistines, invaded their camp.

53. Nato se Izraelci vratiše iz te žestoke potjere za Filistejcima i opljaèkaše njihov tabor.

54. Then David, taking up the head of the Philistine, brought it to Jerusalem. Yet truly, he placed his armor in his own tent.

54. A David uze Filistejèevu glavu i odnese je u Jeruzalem, a oružje njegovo položi u svoj šator.

55. Now at the time that Saul had seen David going out against the Philistines, he said to Abner, the leader of the military, “From what stock is this youth descended, Abner?” And Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, I do not know.”

55. Kad je Šaul vidio Davida gdje izlazi pred Filistejca, upitao je svoga vojvodu Abnera: "Èiji je sin taj mladiæ, Abnere?" A Abner je odgovorio: "Tako mi tvoga života, kralju, ne znam!"

56. And the king said, “You shall inquire as to whose son this boy may be.”

56. A kralj mu reèe: "Raspitaj se èiji je sin taj mladiæ!"

57. And when David had returned, after the Philistine had been struck down, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul, having the head of the Philistine in his hand.

57. A kad se David vratio pošto je pogubio Filistejca, uze ga Abner i dovede ga pred Šaula, a u ruci David još držaše Filistejèevu glavu.

58. And Saul said to him, “Young man, from what ancestry are you?” And David said, “I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem.”

58. Šaul ga upita: "Èiji si ti sin, momèe?" A David odgovori: "Sin sam tvoga sluge Betlehemca Jišaja."
