1. kniha kroník

1 (KAT) Po roku, v tom čase, keď králi vychádzajú do boja, vyviedol Joab vojenskú moc a spustošil krajinu Amončanov. Potom prišiel k Rábe a obliehal ju. Dávid však ostal v Jeruzaleme. Joab porazil a zboril Rábu.
1 (VUL) Factum est autem post anni circulum, eo tempore, quo solent reges ad bella procedere, eduxit Ioab robur exercitus et vastavit terram filiorum Ammon; perrexitque et obsedit Rabba. Porro David manebat in Ierusalem, quando Ioab percussit Rabba et destruxit eam.
1 (UKJV) And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab stroke Rabbah, and destroyed it.

2 (KAT) Dávid vzal korunu ich kráľa z jeho hlavy a zistil, že váži hrivnu zlata. Bol na nej drahokam, ktorý sa dostal na Dávidovu hlavu. Z mesta odniesol množstvo koristi.
2 (VUL) Tulit autem David coronam Melchom de capite eius et invenit in ea auri pondo talentum et pretiosissimam gemmam, venitque super caput David; manubias quoque urbis plurimas tulit.
2 (UKJV) "And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David's head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city. "

3 (KAT) A ľud, ktorý v ňom bol, vyviedol a roztrhal pílami a železnými sekerami. Podobne naložil Dávid so všetkými mestami Amončanov. Potom sa Dávid a celé vojsko vrátilo do Jeruzalema.
3 (VUL) Populum autem, qui erat in ea, eduxit et condemnavit ad operam lapicidinarum et ad secures et dolabras ferreas. Sic fecit David cunctis urbibus filiorum Ammon et reversus est cum omni populo suo in Ierusalem.
3 (UKJV) And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

4 (KAT) Po tomto sa strhla zase vojna s Filištíncami pri Gazeri. Tam porazil Chusaťan Sobochai Safaiho z Rafovho rodu a pokoril ho.
4 (VUL) Post haec initum est bellum in Gazer adversum Philisthaeos, in quo percussit Sobbochai Husathites Saphai de genere Raphaim, et humiliavit eos.
4 (UKJV) "And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued. "

5 (KAT) Opäť vypukla vojna s Filištíncami. Vtedy Járiho syn Elchanan zabil brata Géťana Goliáša Lachmiho; drevo na jeho kopiji bolo ako návoj.
5 (VUL) Aliud quoque bellum gestum est adversus Philisthaeos, in quo percussit Elchanan filius Iair Lahmi fratrem Goliath Getthaeum, cuius hastae lignum erat quasi liciatorium texentium.
5 (UKJV) "And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam. "

6 (KAT) A zasa došlo k vojne v Géte. Tam bol ohromný muž, ktorý mal po šesť, spolu dvadsaťštyri prstov; aj on bol z Rafovho potomstva.
6 (VUL) Sed et aliud bellum accidit in Geth, in quo fuit homo longissimus senos habens digitos, id est simul viginti quattuor, qui et ipse de Rapha fuerat stirpe generatus;
6 (UKJV) And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot and he also was the son of the giant.

7 (KAT) Keď sa rúhal Izraelitom, zabil ho Jonatán, syn Dávidovho brata Samau.
7 (VUL) hic blasphemavit Israel, et percussit eum Ionathan filius Samma fratris David. Hi sunt filii Rapha in Geth, qui ceciderunt in manu David et servorum eius.
7 (UKJV) But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.

8 (KAT) Títo boli z potomstva Rafu v Géte. Padli rukou Dávida a rukou jeho sluhov.
8 ----
8 (UKJV) "These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants. "
