2 Samuelova 23
1 Tato jsou pak poslední slova Davidova: Řekl David syn Izai, řekl, pravím, muž, kterýž jest velice zvýšený, pomazaný Boha Jákobova, a libý v zpěvích Izraelských:
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 Duch Hospodinův mluvil skrze mne, a řeč jeho jazykem mým vynesena.
“The Spirit of Yahweh tells me what to say; the message that I speak [MTY] comes from him.
3 Řekl mi Bůh Izraelský, mluvila skála Izraelská: Kdo panovati bude nad lidem, budeť spravedlivý, panující v bázni Boží.
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 Rovně jako bývá světlo jitřní, když slunce vychází ráno bez oblaků, a jako mocí tepla a deště roste bylina z země:
They are like the sun that shines at dawn and causes the grass to [sprout/sparkle] after the rain ends.’
5 Tak zajisté dům můj před Bohem; nebo smlouvu věčnou učinil se mnou, kteráž všelijak upevněna a ostříhána bude. A toť jest všecko mé spasení a všeliká útěcha, že nic tak vzdělávati se nebude.
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 Bezbožní pak všickni vypléněni budou jako trní, kteréž rukou bráno nebývá.
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 Ale kdož by se ho chtěl dotknouti, vezme železo a žerď, aneb ohněm docela spalí je tu, kdež zrostlo.
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 Tato jsou jména nejudatnějších Davidových: Jošeb Bašebet Tachmonský, přední z vůdců, jehož rozkoš byla s kopím pojednou udeřiti na osm set ku pobití jich.
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 A po něm Eleazar syn Dodi, syna Achochi, mezi třmi silnými, kteříž byli s Davidem, když se opovážili proti Filistinským shromážděným tam k boji, když již byli odtáhli muži Izraelští.
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 Ten vstav, bil Filistinské, až ustala ruka jeho a ostála se při meči. V ten den zajisté učinil Hospodin vysvobození veliké, tak že se lid za ním navrátil, toliko aby kořisti vzebral.
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 Po něm pak byl Samma syn Age Hararský. Nebo když se byli shromáždili Filistinští v hromadu tu, kdež bylo díl rolí poseté šocovicí, a lid utekl před Filistinskými:
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 Tedy postavil se u prostřed dílu toho, a vysvobodil jej, a porazil Filistinské. I učinil Hospodin vysvobození veliké.
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 Sstoupili také ti tři z třidcíti předních, a přišli ve žni k Davidovi do jeskyně Adulam, když vojsko Filistinské leželo v údolí Refaim.
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 (Nebo David tehdáž byl v pevnosti své, a osazený lid Filistinských byl u Betléma.)
David [and his soldiers] were in the cave [because it was safe there], and [another] group of Philistia soldiers was occupying Bethlehem.
15 Zechtělo se pak Davidovi vody, a řekl: Ó by mi někdo dal píti vody z čisterny Betlémské, kteráž jest u brány!
[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 A protož probivše se ti tři udatní skrze vojsko Filistinských, navážili vody z čisterny Betlémské, kteráž byla u brány, kterouž nesli a donesli k Davidovi. On pak nechtěl jí píti, ale obětoval ji Hospodinu,
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 A řekl: Nedejž mi toho, ó Hospodine, abych to učiniti měl. Zdaliž to není krev mužů těch, kteříž šli, opováživše se života svého? I nechtěl jí píti. To učinili ti tři silní.
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 Potom Abizai bratr Joábův, syn Sarvie, byl přední mezi třmi, kterýž pozdvihl kopí svého proti třem stům, kteréž i pobil, a byl z těch tří nejslovoutnější.
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 Z těch tří on jsa nejslavnější, byl knížetem jejich, a však oněm třem nebyl rovný.
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 Banaiáš také syn Joiadův, syn muže udatného, velikých činů, z Kabsael, ten porazil dva reky Moábské. Tentýž sstoupiv, zabil lva v jámě, když byl sníh.
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 Ten také zabil muže Egyptského, muže ku podivení, a měl Egyptský v rukou kopí. I šel k němu s holí, a vytrh kopí z ruky toho Egyptského, zabil ho kopím jeho.
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 To učinil Banaiáš syn Joiadův, kterýž také slovoutný byl mezi těmi třmi silnými.
Those are [some of] the things that Benaiah did. As a result, he became famous, like the three greatest warriors were.
23 A ač byl mezi třidcíti nejslavnější, však oněm třem se nevrovnal. I ustanovil ho David nad drabanty svými.
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.
