¹Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

¹Tada se sabraše svi Izraelci k Davidu u Hebron i rekoše: "Evo, mi smo od tvoje kosti i tvojeg mesa.

²In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. Yahweh your God said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel.’”

²Još prije, dok je Šaul bio kralj, ti si upravljao svim pokretima Izraela; Jahve, tvoj Bog, rekao ti je: 'Ti ćeš pasti moj izraelski narod i ti ćeš biti knez nad mojim narodom Izraelom.'"

³So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of Yahweh by Samuel.

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

⁴David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (the same is Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.

⁴Onda je otišao David sa svim Izraelom na Jeruzalem, a to je Jebus, jer su ondje bili Jebusejci i živjeli su u onoj zemlji.

⁵The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You shall not come in here.” Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. The same is the city of David.

⁵Ali su Jebusejci poručili Davidu: "Nećeš ući ovamo!" Ipak David osvoji Sionsku tvrđavu, to jest Davidov grad.

⁶David said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.

⁶Jer je David rekao: "Tko prvi porazi Jebusejce, bit će vrhovni vojvoda i knez." Prvi se popeo Sarvijin sin Joab i postao vojvoda.

⁷David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it the city of David.

⁷Tada se David nastanio u toj tvrđavi; zato su je prozvali Davidovim gradom.

⁸He built the city all around, from Millo even around; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

⁸Sazidao je tada grad unaokolo, od Milona do ograde, a Joab je obnovio ostali dio grada.

⁹David grew greater and greater; for Yahweh of Armies was with him.

⁹David je postajao sve silniji, jer je Jahve nad vojskama bio s njim.

¹⁰Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of Yahweh concerning Israel.

¹⁰Evo vojvoda Davidovim junacima koji su junački radili uza nj za njegovo kraljevstvo sa svim Izraelom da ga po Jahvinoj riječi zakralje nad Izraelom.

¹¹This is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them at one time.

¹¹Evo popisa Davidovih junaka: Hakmonijev sin Jašobam, glavar nad tridesetoricom; on je mahnuo svojim kopljem na tri stotine i pobio ih odjednom.

¹²After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.

¹²Za njim Dodonov sin Eleazar, Ahošanin, jedan između tri junaka.

¹³He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where there was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.

¹³On je bio s Davidom u Pas Damimu, kad su se Filistejci skupili na boj, a ondje je bilo polje puno ječma; kad je narod počeo bježati ispred Filistejaca,

¹⁴They stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Yahweh saved them by a great victory.

¹⁴oni su stali usred toga polja i obranili ga pobivši Filistejce. Tako im Jahve dade veliku pobjedu.

¹⁵Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

¹⁵Trojica su između tridesetorice jednom sišla do hridi k Davidu u Adulamsku pećinu kad su filistejske čete stajale u taboru u Refaimskoj dolini.

¹⁶David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

¹⁶David je tada bio u svojoj kuli, a filistejska je posada tada bila u Betlehemu.

¹⁷David longed, and said, “Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”

¹⁷David uzdahnu: "O kad bi me tko napojio vodom iz betlehemskoga studenca što je kod vrata!"

¹⁸The three broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to Yahweh,

¹⁸Tada ta trojica prodriješe kroz filistejski tabor i, zahvativši vode iz betlehemskoga studenca što je kod vrata, donesoše je i dadoše Davidu. Ali je David ne htjede piti nego je proli kao ljevanicu Jahvi

¹⁹and said, “My God forbid it me, that I should do this! Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy?” For they risked their lives to bring it. Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.

¹⁹govoreći: "Ne dao mi moj Bog da to učinim! Zar da pijem krv ovih ljudi? TÓa izlažući život pogibli donijeli su vode." I nije htio piti. To su, eto, učinila ta tri junaka.

²⁰Abishai, the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three; for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three.

²⁰Abišaj, Joabov brat, bio je vojvoda nad tridesetoricom; on je vitlao kopljem na tri stotine, pobio ih i proslavio se među tridesetoricom.

²¹Of the three, he was more honorable than the two, and was made their captain: however he didn’t attain to the three.

²¹Bio je među trojicom ugledniji od druge dvojice i bio im vojvoda, ali prve trojice nije dostigao.

²²Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab: he went down also and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.

²²Jojadin sin Benaja, junak iz Kabseela, bogat junačkim djelima, ubio je dva sina Ariela iz Moaba; on je jednoga snježnog dana sišao i ubio lava usred jame.

²³He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.

²³Ubio je i nekog Egipćanina, čovjeka od pet lakata. Egipćanin je imao u ruci koplje kao tkalačko vratilo, a on je izišao preda nj sa štapom i, istrgavši Egipćaninu koplje iz ruke, ubio ga njegovim kopljem.

²⁴Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the three mighty men.

²⁴To je učinio Jojadin sin Benaja i proslavio se imenom među ona tri junaka.

²⁵Behold, he was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three: and David set him over his guard.

²⁵Bio je najznamenitiji među tridesetoricom, ali one prve trojice nije dostigao. David ga postavi za zapovjednika svoje tjelesne straže.
