2 Samuelova 23
1 Ovo su posljednje Davidove riječi: “Riječ Davida, sina Jišajeva, riječ čovjeka koji je bio visoko uzdignut, pomazanika Boga Jakovljeva, pjevača pjesama Izraelovih:
Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse says, the man who was raised on high says, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel:
2 Jahvin duh govori po meni, njegova je riječ na mom jeziku.
“The LORD’s Spirit spoke by me. His word was on my tongue.
3 Reče mi Jakovljev Bog, reče mi Izraelova hrid: Tko vlada ljudima pravedno, i tko vlada u strahu Božjemu,
The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, ‘One who rules over men righteously, who rules in the fear of God,
4 taj je kao jutarnja svjetlost kad ograne sunce, jutro bez oblaka, na kojem se svjetluca zemaljska trava poslije kiše.
shall be as the light of the morning when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs out of the earth, through clear shining after rain.’
5 Da, moja kuća stoji čvrsto pred Bogom: on je učinio vječan Savez sa mnom, u svemu dobro uređen i utvrđen. Da, on će dati da napreduje sve moje spasenje i svaka moja želja.
Isn’t my house so with God? Yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure, for it is all my salvation and all my desire. Won’t he make it grow?
6 Belijalovi ljudi svi su kao trnje u pustinji, jer ih nitko ne hvata rukom.
But all the ungodly will be as thorns to be thrust away, because they can’t be taken with the hand.
7 Nitko ih se ne dotiče, osim gvožđem i kopljačom, i potpuno se spaljuju u ognju.”
The man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear. They will be utterly burnt with fire in their place.”
8 Ovo su imena Davidovih junaka: Išbaal, Hakmonac, prvak među trojicom; on je zavitlao svojim kopljem protiv osam stotina i pobio ih najedanput.
These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb Basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; he was called Adino the Eznite, who killed eight hundred at one time.
9 Za njim dolazi Eleazar, sin Dodonov, Ahoašanin, jedan od trojice junaka; on je bio s Davidom kod Pas Damina kad su se ondje skupili Filistejci za boj, a Izraelci se povukli pred njima.
After him was Eleazar the son of Dodai the son of an Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel had gone away.
10 Ali se on čvrsto držao i udarao Filistejce dok mu se ruka nije ukočila i ostala kao prirasla uz mač. Jahve je dao veliku pobjedu u onaj dan, pa se vojska vratila za Eleazarom, ali samo da pokupi plijen.
He arose and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and the LORD worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take plunder.
11 Za njim dolazi Šama, sin Elin, Hararac; kad su se Filistejci skupili u Lehiju, bijaše polje puno leće, a vojska je bila pobjegla ispred Filistejaca.
After him was Shammah the son of Agee a Hararite. The Philistines had gathered together into a troop where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.
12 Tada je on stao usred polja i obranio ga i potukao Filistejce. Tako je Jahve dao veliku pobjedu.
But he stood in the middle of the plot and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and the LORD worked a great victory.
13 Trojica između tridesetorice jednom su krenula na put i o početku žetve došla k Davidu u Adulamsku pećinu kad jedna filistejska četa bijaše utaborena u Refaimskoj dolini.
Three of the thirty chief men went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
14 David je tada bio u svojoj kuli, a filistejska je posada bila tada u Betlehemu.
David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
15 David uzdahnu: “O, kad bi me tko napojio vodom iz betlehemskoga studenca što je kod vrata?”
David said longingly, “Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”
16 Tada ta tri junaka prodriješe kroz filistejski tabor i, zahvativši vode iz betlehemskog studenca što je kod vrata, donesoše je i dadoše Davidu. Ali je David ne htjede piti, nego je proli kao ljevanicu Jahvi
The three mighty men 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 he would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD.
17 govoreći: “Ne dao mi Jahve 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.
He said, “Be it far from me, LORD, that I should do this! Isn’t this the blood of the men who risked their lives to go?” Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.
18 Abišaj, Joabov brat a sin Sarvijin, bio je vojvoda nad tridesetoricom. On je zavitlao kopljem na tri stotine, pobio ih i proslavio se među tridesetoricom.
Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. He lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name amongst the three.
19 On se odlikovao među tridesetoricom i postao njihov glavar, ali nije dostigao trojice.
Wasn’t he most honourable of the three? Therefore he was made their captain. However he wasn’t included as one of the three.
20 Jojadin 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.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit in a time of snow.
21 Ubio je i nekog Egipćanina, čovjeka golema stasa. Egipćanin je imao koplje u ruci, a on izišao preda nj sa štapom: istrgavši Egipćaninu koplje iz ruke, ubi ga njegovim kopljem.
He killed a huge Egyptian, and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but 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.
22 To je učinio Jojadin sin Benaja i proslavio se među tridesetoricom junaka.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name amongst the three mighty men.
23 Bio je najznamenitiji među tridesetoricom, ali one prve trojice nije dostigao; David ga postavi za zapovjednika svoje tjelesne straže.
He was more honourable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three. David set him over his guard.
