< Ikinci Şamuel 23 >
1 Davudun son sözləri bunlardır: Yessey oğlu Davud deyir, Allahın ucaltdığı adam, Yaqubun Allahının məsh etdiyi, İsrailin sevimli məzmur şairi belə söyləyir:
David, the son of Jesse, was a man whom [God caused to] become great. He was appointed to become king by the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. He wrote beautiful songs for the Israeli people. This is the last song that he wrote:
2 Rəbbin Ruhu mənim vasitəmlə söylədi, Onun sözü dilimin ucundadır.
“The Spirit of Yahweh tells me what to say; the message that I speak [MTY] comes from him.
3 İsrailin Allahı belə dedi, İsrailin Qayası mənə belə söylədi: İnsanlar üstündə doğruluqla hökm edən, Allah qorxusu ilə səltənət sürən şəxs
God, the one whom we Israeli [people worship], has spoken; the one who protects us Israeli people said to me, ‘Kings who rule people justly have an awesome respect for me, God.
4 Buludsuz bir səmada gün doğarkən sübh şəfəqi kimidir, Şüası yağışdan sonra yerdən təzə ot bitirir.
They are like the sun that shines at dawn and causes the grass to [sprout/sparkle] after the rain ends.’
5 Həqiqətən, mənim evim Allahla belə deyilmi? Çünki O mənimlə əbədi əhd bağladı, Kamil və tam təminatlı əhd bağladı, Qurtuluşumu və arzumu tam həyata keçirməzmi?
And truly, that is how God will surely bless my family [RHQ] because he made an agreement with me that will endure forever, an agreement in which he promises that no part of it will ever be changed. He will surely cause me to prosper [RHQ], and he will always help me, and that is all that I desire.
6 Bütün yaramazlar tikanlar kimi atılacaq. Onlara heç kim əl vurmayacaq.
But [he will get rid of] godless/evil people like [SIM] people throw away thorns that [injure people if they try to] pick them up with their hands.
7 Lakin onlara toxunanlar Dəmirlə və nizə sapı ilə silahlanmalıdırlar. Yaramazlar yerindəcə tamamilə yandırılacaqlar.
Someone [who wants to get rid of thornbushes] does not grab them; he uses an iron [shovel] or a spear [to dig them out] and then he burns them completely.
8 Davudun igid döyüşçülərinin adları belədir: Taxkemonlu Yoşev-Başşevet «üç igid»in başçısı idi. O, nizəsini qaldırıb bir hücumda səkkiz yüz nəfəri vurub öldürmüşdü.
These are the names of David’s three greatest warriors. The first was Esh-Baal, [whose other name was Jashobeam], from the Hachmon clan (OR, the son of Hachmon). He was the leader of the three men. One time he fought against 800 enemies and killed them all with his spear.
9 Ondan sonra Axoah nəslindən Dodo oğlu Eleazar idi. O, döyüş üçün orada yığılan Filiştlilərə meydan oxunanda Davudun yanındakı «üç igid»dən biri idi. İsraillilər döyüş meydanından geriyə çəkiləndə
The second/next one of the three greatest warriors was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh. One day he was with David when they defied/challenged the soldiers of Philistia who had gathered for the battle. The [other] Israeli soldiers retreated,
10 Eleazar möhkəm dayandı və qılınc çəkib əlləri taqətdən düşənə qədər Filiştliləri qırdı. Rəbb o gün İsraillilərə böyük qələbə bəxş etdi. İsraillilər onun ardınca yalnız talan malı götürmək üçün qayıtdılar.
but Eleazar stood there and fought the soldiers of Philistia until his arm became very tired, with the result that [his hand cramped and] he could not stop gripping his sword. Yahweh won a great victory on that day. And afterwards the [other] Israeli soldiers returned [to where Eleazar was], and stripped off the [armor from the men whom he had] killed.
11 Ondan sonra Hararlı Age oğlu Şamma idi. Filiştlilər Laxidə yığılmışdılar. Orada mərci əkilən bir tarla sahəsi vardı. Xalq Filiştlilərin önündən qaçdı.
The third one of the greatest warriors was Shammah, the son of Agee from [the clan/town of] Harar. One time the Philistia soldiers gathered at Lehi [town], where there was a field full of lentils/peas [that they wanted to steal]. The other Israeli soldiers ran away from the Philistia troops,
12 Lakin Şamma tarlanın ortasında durub oranı qorudu və Filiştliləri qırdı. Rəbb İsraillilərə böyük bir zəfər verdi.
but Shammah stood there in the field and did not let the Philistia soldiers [steal the crops], and killed them. Yahweh won a great victory on that day.
13 Biçin zamanı otuz başçı arasından «üç igid» Davudun yanına – Adullam mağarasına getdi. Filiştlilərin bir döyüş dəstəsi Refaim vadisində ordugah qurmuşdu.
Altogether there were 30 special warriors among David’s soldiers. Once, when it was almost time to harvest [the crops], three of those 30 men went down to Adullam Cave, where David was [staying]. A group of men from the Philistia army had set up their tents in Rephaim Valley [near Jerusalem].
14 Bu zaman Davud qalada idi. Filiştlilərin bir keşikçi dəstəsi isə Bet-Lexemdə idi.
David [and his soldiers] were in the cave [because it was safe there], and [another] group of Philistia soldiers was occupying Bethlehem.
15 Davud həsrət çəkərək dedi: «Kaş ki biri Bet-Lexem darvazası yanındakı quyudan mənə içmək üçün su gətirəydi!»
[One day] David very much wanted [some water] to drink, and said “I wish that someone would bring me some water from the well near the gate at Bethlehem!”
16 Bu «üç igid» Filiştlilərin ordugahını yararaq darvazanın yanında olan Bet-Lexem quyusundan su çəkdi və onu götürüb Davuda gətirdi. Lakin Davud bu suyu içmək istəmədi və onu Rəbbə təqdim olaraq yerə tökdü.
So his three greatest warriors forced their way through the camp of Philistia soldiers and drew some water from the well, and brought it to David. But he would not drink it. Instead, he poured it out [on the ground] as an offering to Yahweh.
17 O dedi: «Ya Rəbb, bunu etmək qoy məndən uzaq olsun, canlarını təhlükəyə salaraq gedən adamların qanındanmı içəcəyəm?» Buna görə də bu suyu içmək istəmədi. Bunları «üç igid» etmişdi.
He said, “Yahweh, it would certainly not be right for me to drink this water! That would be like [RHQ] drinking the blood of these men who were willing/ready to die for me!” So he refused to drink it. That was one of the things that those three great warriors did.
18 Yoavın qardaşı Seruya oğlu Avişay bu «üç igid»in başçısı idi. O, nizəsini qaldırıb üç yüz nəfəri qırdı. Buna görə də onun adı «üç igid»in adı qədər şöhrətləndi.
Abishai, Joab’s [younger] brother, was the leader of the 30 [greatest warriors]. [One day] he fought against 300 men and killed them all with his spear. As a result, he also became famous.
19 Əslində «üç igid»dən daha şöhrətli idi və onlara başçı oldu, lakin «üç igid» kimi deyildi.
He was the most famous of the thirty greatest warriors, and he became their leader/commander, but he was not one of the three greatest warriors.
20 Yehoyada oğlu Benaya da böyük işlər görən igid adam idi. O, Qavseeldən gəlmişdi. Benaya iki Moavlı igidi öldürdü. O, qarlı gündə çuxura enib bir şir öldürdü.
Jehoiada’s son Benaiah, from Kabzeel [town], also did great deeds. He killed two of the best warriors from the Moab people-group. Also, he went down into a pit on a day when snow was falling, and killed a lion there.
21 O həm də qədd-qamətli bir Misirlini vurub öldürdü. Misirlinin əlində nizə vardı. Benaya onun üstünə dəyənəklə getdi və Misirlinin əlindən nizəsini çəkib aldı, onu öz nizəsi ilə öldürdü.
He also killed a huge soldier from Egypt who carried a spear. Benaiah [had only] his club, but he attacked the giant with it. Then he snatched the spear from the man’s hand and killed him with his own spear.
22 Bunları Yehoyada oğlu Benaya etdi. Buna görə də onun «üç igid» qədər şöhrəti var idi.
Those are [some of] the things that Benaiah did. As a result, he became famous, like the three greatest warriors were.
23 O, «otuz igid»dən daha məşhur idi, lakin «üç igid» kimi deyildi. Davud onu öz mühafizəçilərinə başçı qoydu.
He was more honored than the other members of the group of thirty great warriors, but not as famous as the three greatest warriors. David appointed him to be the commander of his bodyguards.
