2 Samuel 23
1 Og disse ere de sidste Davids Ord: Saa sagde David, Isajs Søn, og saa sagde den Mand, som er højt ophøjet, Jakobs Guds Salvede, og lystelig ved Israels Salmer:
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 Herrens Aand talede ved mig, og hans Tale er paa min Tunge.
“The LORD’s Spirit spoke by me. His word was on my tongue.
3 Israels Gud sagde, til mig talede Israels Klippe: Der skal være en, som hersker iblandt Menneskene, en retfærdig, en, som hersker i Guds Frygt,
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 og som Lys om Morgenen, naar Solen opgaar, om Morgenen, naar der ikke ere Skyer, naar Græsset vokser af Jorden ved Solskin efter Regnen.
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 Thi staar mit Hus sig ikke saa med Gud? thi han har sat mig en evig Pagt, som er ordentligt beskikket i alle Maader og bevaret; thi al min Frelse og al min Lyst, skulde han ej lade den spire frem?
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 Men Belials Børn, de skulle alle sammen være som Torne, der udkastes; thi de kunne ikke tages med Haand.
But all the ungodly will be as thorns to be thrust away, because they can’t be taken with the hand.
7 Men hver, som vil røre ved dem, maa være forsynet med Jern og Spydstage; og de skulle opbrændes med Ild, hvor de bo.
The man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear. They will be utterly burned with fire in their place.”
8 Disse ere Navnene paa de vældige, som hørte David til: Joseb-Basebeth Takmoni var en Øverste for Høvedsmændene, han svingede sin Lanse imod otte Hundrede, som bleve ihjelslagne paa een Gang.
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 Og efter ham var Eleasar, en Søn af Dodo, som var en Søn af Ahohi; han var iblandt de tre vældige med David, da de forhaanede Filisterne, som der vare forsamlede til Strid, medens Israels Mænd droge op.
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 Han stod op og slog Filisterne, indtil hans Haand blev træt, og hans Haand hang fast ved Sværdet, og Herren gjorde en stor Frelse paa den samme Dag; og Folket vendte tilbage efter ham kun for at udplyndre de ihjelslagne.
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 Og efter ham var Arariteren Samma, Ages Søn; da Filisterne vare forsamlede i en Hob, da var der sammesteds et Stykke Land fuldt med Linser, og Folket flyede for Filisternes Ansigt,
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 og han stillede sig midt paa dette Stykke og friede det og slog Filisterne, og Herren gjorde en stor Frelse.
But he stood in the middle of the plot and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and the LORD worked a great victory.
13 Og tre af de tredive ypperste gik ned og kom om Høsten til David til Hulen ved Adullam, og Filisternes Hob havde lejret sig i Refaims Dal.
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 Og David var da i Befæstningen; men Filisternes Befæstning var da i Bethlehem.
David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
15 Og David fik Lyst og sagde: Hvo vil give mig Vand at drikke af den Brønd i Bethlehem, som er ved Porten?
David said longingly, “Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”
16 Da brøde de tre vældige ind i Filisternes Lejr og droge Vand af den Brønd i Bethlehem, som er i Porten, og de bare og førte det til David; men han vilde ikke drikke deraf, men udøste det for Herren.
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 Og han sagde: Det være langt fra mig, o Herre! at jeg skulde gøre dette! er det ikke de Mænds Blod, som gik derhen med Livsfare? Og han vilde ikke drikke det. Dette gjorde de tre vældige.
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 Og Abisaj, Joabs Broder, Zerujas Søn, var en Øverste for Høvedsmændene, og han opløftede sit Spyd imod tre Hundrede, som bleve ihjelslagne; og han var navnkundig iblandt de tre.
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 among the three.
19 Var han ikke herligere end de tre? og han var deres Øverste; men han naaede ikke de tre.
Wasn’t he most honorable of the three? Therefore he was made their captain. However he wasn’t included as one of the three.
20 Og Benaja, Jojadas Søn, var en stridbar Mands Søn, stor i Gerninger, fra Kabzeel; han slog to Løvehelte af Moabiterne, og han gik ned og slog en Løve midt i en Brønd en Dag, da der var Sne.
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 Og han slog en ægyptisk Mand, som var anselig, og den Ægypter havde et Spyd i sin Haand; men han gik ned til ham med en Kæp, og han rykkede Spydet af Ægypterens Haand og slog ham ihjel med hans eget Spyd.
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 Disse Ting gjorde Benaja, Jojadas Søn, og han var navnkundig iblandt de tre vældige,
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the three mighty men.
23 herligere end de tredive, men han naaede ikke de tre; og David satte ham i sit Raad.
He was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three. David set him over his guard.
