¹Now these are those who came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men, his helpers in war.

¹Evo onih što dođoše k Davidu u Siklag dok se još uklanjao od Kiševa sina Šaula i bili su mu među junacima pomagači u boju;

²They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in slinging stones and in shooting arrows from the bow: they were of Saul’s brothers of Benjamin.

²umjeli su rukovati lukom i desnicom i ljevicom i znali se služiti kamenjem i strijelama. Između Šaulove braće, Benjaminovaca:

³The chief was Ahiezer; then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite, and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth, and Beracah, and Jehu the Anathothite,

³vojvoda Ahiezer i Joaš, sinovi Gibeanca Šemaje, pa Jeziel i Pelet, Azmavetovi sinovi, i Beraka i Jehu Anatoćanin;

⁴and Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty, and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite,

⁴Gibeonac Išmaja, junak među tridesetoricom i nad tridesetoricom,

⁵Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite,

⁵Jeremija, Jahaziel, Johanan i Jozabad Gederoćanin;

⁶Elkanah, and Isshiah, and Azarel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korahites,

⁶Eluzaj, Jerimot, Bealja, Šemarja i Šefatja Harufejac;

⁷and Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.

⁷Elkana, Jišija, Azarel, Joezer i Jašobam Korhinjani,

⁸Of the Gadites there separated themselves to David to the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for war, that could handle shield and spear; whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as the roes on the mountains;

⁸Joel i Zebadja, sinovi Jerohama Gedorca.

⁹Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,

⁹Neki su Gadovci prešli k Davidu u tvrđavu u pustinju, hrabri junaci, ratnici vješti boju, naoružani štitom i kopljem; lica im bijahu kao lavovska, a brzi bijahu kao gazele po gorama:

¹⁰Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

¹⁰vojvoda Ezer, drugi Obadja, treći Eliab;

¹¹Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

¹¹četvrti Mišmana, peti Jeremija,

¹²Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

¹²šesti Ataj, sedmi Eliel;

¹³Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh.

¹³osmi Johanan, deveti Elzabad,

¹⁴These of the sons of Gad were captains of the army: he who was least was equal to one hundred, and the greatest to one thousand.

¹⁴deseti Jeremija, jedanaesti Makbanaj.

¹⁵These are those who went over the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.

¹⁵To su bile od Gadovih sinova vojne starješine, najmanji nad stotinom, a najveći nad tisućom.

¹⁶There came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the stronghold to David.

¹⁶To su oni koji su prvoga mjeseca prešli preko Jordana kad se razlio preko svih svojih obala i koji su rastjerali sve stanovnike iz dubokih dolina na istok i na zapad.

¹⁷David went out to meet them, and answered them, “If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart shall be knit to you; but if you have come to betray me to my adversaries, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.”

¹⁷Došli su i od Benjaminovih i Judinih sinova k Davidu u tvrđavu.

¹⁸Then the Spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the thirty, and he said, “We are yours, David, and on your side, you son of Jesse: peace, peace be to you, and peace be to your helpers; for your God helps you.” Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.

¹⁸David je izašao pred njih i, progovorivši, rekao im: "Ako dolazite s mirom k meni da mi pomognete, moje će se srce ujediniti s vama; ako li ste došli da me izdate mojim neprijateljima, neka Bog naših otaca vidi i neka osudi, jer nema nepravde na mojim rukama!"

¹⁹Of Manasseh also there fell away some to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle; but they didn’t help them; for the lords of the Philistines sent him away after consultation, saying, “He will fall away to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.”

¹⁹Tada duh obuze Amasaja, vojvodu nad tridesetoricom, i on reče: "Tebi, Davide! S tobom, sine Jišajev, mir! Mir s tobom, mir s onim tko ti pomaže, jer tvoj pomoćnik jest tvoj Bog!" Tako ih je David primio i postavio ih među vojvode nad četama.

²⁰As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of thousands who were of Manasseh.

²⁰Od Manašeovih su sinova neki prešli k Davidu kad je išao s Filistejcima na Šaula u boj, ali im nije pomogao, jer su ga filistejski knezovi, dobro promislivši, otpustili govoreći: "Mogao bi prijeći k svome gospodaru Šaulu, a to bi nas stajalo glava."

²¹They helped David against the band of rovers: for they were all mighty men of valor, and were captains in the army.

²¹Kad se, dakle, vraćao u Siklag, prešli su k njemu od Manašeova plemena: Adna, Jozabad, Jedael, Mihael, Jozabad, Elihu i Siltaj, glavari tisućnici u Manašeovu plemenu.

²²For from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like the army of God.

²²Oni su pomagali Davidu protiv razbojničkih četa jer su svi bili hrabri junaci te su postali zapovjednici u njegovoj vojsci.

²³These are the numbers of the heads of those who were armed for war, who came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of Yahweh.

²³Iz dana u dan odista su dolazili k Davidu da mu pomažu, sve dok njegov tabor ne postade divovski, kao Božji tabor.

²⁴The children of Judah who bore shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred, armed for war.

²⁴Evo broja ljudi naoružanih za rat koji su došli k Davidu u Hebron da Šaulovo kraljevstvo prenesu na nj po Jahvinoj zapovijedi:

²⁵Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valor for the war, seven thousand and one hundred.

²⁵Judinih sinova, koji su nosili štit i koplje, šest tisuća i osam stotina naoružanih za rat.

²⁶Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred.

²⁶Od Šimunovih sinova, hrabrih junaka za rat, sedam tisuća i sto.

²⁷Jehoiada was the leader of the household of Aaron; and with him were three thousand and seven hundred,

²⁷Od Levijevih sinova četiri tisuće i šest stotina.

²⁸and Zadok, a young man mighty of valor, and of his father’s house twenty-two captains.

²⁸Tako i Jojada, poglavar Aronovim potomcima, i s njim tri tisuće i sedam stotina;

²⁹Of the children of Benjamin, the brothers of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept their allegiance to the house of Saul.

²⁹i mladi Sadok, hrabar junak, i od njegova roda dvadeset i dva kneza.

³⁰Of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand eight hundred, mighty men of valor, famous men in their fathers’ houses.

³⁰A od Benjaminovih sinova, Šaulove braće, tri tisuće, jer ih je dotad najveći dio još ostao vjeran Šaulovoj kući.

³¹Of the half-tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, who were mentioned by name, to come and make David king.

³¹Efrajimovih sinova dvadeset tisuća i osam stotina, sve hrabrih junaka, ljudi na glasu u svojim porodicama.

³²Of the children of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their heads were two hundred; and all their brothers were at their commandment.

³²Od polovine Manašeova plemena osamnaest tisuća, poimence spomenutih, da dođu da zakralje Davida.

³³Of Zebulun, such as were able to go out in the army, who could set the battle in array, with all kinds of instruments of war, fifty thousand, and who could command and were not of double heart.

³³Od Jisakarovih sinova, koji su umjeli proniknuti svoje vrijeme i spoznati što treba da učini Izrael; njihovih poglavara dvije stotine. Sva su im njihova braća bila podložna.

³⁴Of Naphtali one thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty-seven thousand.

³⁴Od Zebulunovih sinova, sposobnih za rat i naoružanih za boj svakojakim bojnim oružjem, pedeset tisuća, koji su se odvažna srca vrstali u bojne redove.

³⁵Of the Danites who could set the battle in array, twenty-eight thousand six hundred.

³⁵Od Naftalijeva plemena tisuću knezova i s njima trideset i sedam tisuća ljudi sa štitovima i kopljima;

³⁶Of Asher, such as were able to go out in the army, who could set the battle in array, forty thousand.

³⁶od Danova plemena dvadeset i osam tisuća i šest stotina naoružanih za boj,

³⁷On the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half-tribe of Manasseh, with all kinds of instruments of war for the battle, one hundred twenty thousand.

³⁷a od Ašerova plemena četrdeset tisuća sposobnih za vojsku i za boj opremljenih.

³⁸All these being men of war, who could order the battle array, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.

³⁸Od onih s onu stranu Jordana, od Rubenova, od Gadova i od polovine Manašeova plemena, sto i dvadeset tisuća ljudi sa svakojakim ratnim oružjem.

³⁹They were there with David three days, eating and drinking; for their brothers had made preparation for them.

³⁹Svi ti vojnici, svrstani u bojne redove, dođoše poštena srca u Hebron da zakralje Davida nad svim Izraelom; i svi su ostali Izraelci bili jednodušni da Davida postave za kralja.

⁴⁰Moreover those who were near to them, as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on donkeys, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, food of meal, cakes of figs, and clusters of raisins, and wine, and oil, and cattle, and sheep in abundance: for there was joy in Israel.

⁴⁰Proveli su s Davidom tri dana, jedući i pijući. Braća sve spremiše za njih.

⁴¹Njihovi su najbliži susjedi, sve do Jisakara, Zebuluna i Naftalija, donosili hranu na magarcima, devama i mazgama, a na volovima jela: brašna, smokvenih kolača, suha grožđa, vina, ulja, krupne i sitne stoke izobila, jer je bilo veselje u Izraelu.
