2 Samuel 23
1 Dette er Davids sidste Ord; Saa siger David, Isajs Søn, saa siger Manden, Højt ophøjet, Jakobs Guds salvede, Helten i Israels Sange:
These also be the last wordes of Dauid, Dauid the sonne of Ishai saith, euen the man who was set vp on hie, the Anointed of the God of Iacob, and the sweete singer of Israel saith,
2 Ved mig talede HERRENS Aand, hans Ord var paa min Tunge.
The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his worde was in my tongue.
3 Jakobs Gud talede til mig, Israels Klippe sagde: »En retfærdig Hersker blandt Mennesker, en, der hersker i Gudsfrygt,
The God of Israel spake to me, ye strength of Israel saide, Thou shalt beare rule ouer men, being iust, and ruling in the feare of God.
4 han straaler som Morgenrøden, som den skyfri Morgensol, der fremlokker Urter af Jorden efter Regn.«
Euen as the morning light when the sunne riseth, the morning, I say, without cloudes, so shall mine house be, and not as the grasse of the earth is by the bright raine.
5 Saaledes har jo mit Hus det med Gud. Han gav mig en evig Pagt, fuldgod og vel forvaret. Ja, al min Frelse og al min Lyst, skulde han ikke lade den spire frem?
For so shall not mine house be with God: for he hath made with me an euerlasting couenant, perfite in all pointes, and sure: therefore all mine health and whole desire is, that he will not make it growe so.
6 Men Niddinger er alle som Torne i Ørk, der tages ikke paa dem med Hænder;
But the wicked shalbe euery one as thornes thrust away, because they can not be taken with handes.
7 ingen rører ved dem uden med Jern og Spydstage, i Ilden brændes de op.
But the man that shall touch them, must be defensed with yron, or with the shaft of a speare: and they shall be burnt with fire in the same place.
8 Navnene paa Davids Helte var følgende: Hakmoniten Isjbosjet, Anføreren for de tre; det var ham, der engang svang sit Spyd over 800 faldne paa een Gang.
These be the names of the mightie men whome Dauid had. He that sate in the seate of wisedome, being chiefe of the princes, was Adino of Ezni, he slewe eight hundreth at one time.
9 Blandt de tre Helte kom efter ham Ahohiten El'azar, Dodis Søn; han var med David ved Pas-Dammim, dengang Filisterne samlede sig der til Kamp. Da Israels Mænd trak sig tilbage,
And after him was Eleazar the sonne of Dodo, the sonne of Ahohi, one of the three worthies with Dauid, when they defied the Philistims gathered there to battel, when the men of Israel were gone vp.
10 holdt han Stand og huggede ned blandt Filisterne, til hans Haand blev træt og klæbede fast ved Sværdet; HERREN gav dem den Dag en stor Sejr. Saa vendte Folket tilbage og fulgte ham, kun for at plyndre.
He arose and smote the Philistims vntill his hande was wearie, and his hande claue vnto the sworde: and the Lord gaue great victorie the same day, and the people returned after him onely to spoyle.
11 Efter ham kom Harariten Sjamma, Ages Søn. Engang havde Filisterne samlet sig i Lehi, hvor der var en Mark fuld af Linser, og Folket flygtede for Filisterne;
After him was Shammah the sonne of Age the Hararite: for the Philistims assembled at a towne, where was a piece of a fielde full of lentils, and the people fled from the Philistims.
12 men han stillede sig op midt paa Marken og holdt den og huggede Filisterne ned; og HERREN gav dem en stor Sejr.
But he stoode in the middes of the fielde, and defended it, and slewe the Philistims: so the Lord gaue great victorie.
13 Engang drog tre af de tredive ned og kom til David paa Klippens Top, til Adullams Hule, medens Filisterskaren var lejret i Refaimdalen.
Afterward three of the thirtie captaines went downe, and came to Dauid in the haruest time vnto the caue of Adullam, and the hoste of the Philistims pitched in the valley of Rephaim.
14 David var dengang i Klippeborgen, medens Filisternes Besætning laa i Betlehem.
And Dauid was then in an holde, and the garison of ye Philistims was then in Beth-lehem.
15 Saa vaagnede Lysten hos David, og han sagde: »Hvem skaffer mig en Drik Vand fra Cisternen ved Betlehems Port?«
And Dauid longed, and said, Oh, that one would giue me to drinke of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the gate.
16 Da banede de tre Helte sig Vej gennem Filisternes Lejr, øste Vand af Cisternen ved Betlehems Port og bragte David det. Han vilde dog ikke drikke det, men udgød det for HERREN
The the three mightie brake into the host of the Philistims, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem that was by the gate, and tooke and brought it to Dauid, who woulde not drinke thereof, but powred it for an offring vnto ye Lord,
17 med de Ord: »HERREN vogte mig for at gøre det! Skulde jeg drikke de Mænds Blod, som har vovet deres Liv!« Og han vilde ikke drikke det. Den Daad udførte de tre Helte.
And said, O Lord, be it farre from me, that I should doe this. Is not this the blood of the men that went in ieopardie of their liues? therefore he woulde not drinke it. These things did these three mightie men.
18 Abisjaj, Joabs Broder, Zerujas Søn, var Anfører for de tredive. Han svang sit Spyd over 300 faldne, og han var navnkundig iblandt de tredive;
And Abishai the brother of Ioab, the sonne of Zeruiah, was chiefe among the three, and he lifted vp his speare against three hundreth, and slewe them, and he had the name among the three.
19 iblandt de tredive var han højtæret, og han var deres Anfører; men de tre naaede han ikke.
For he was most excellent of the three, and was their captaine, but he attained not vnto the first three.
20 Benaja, Jojadas Søn, var en tapper Mand fra Kabze'el, der havde udført store Heltegerninger; han fældede de to Arielsønner fra Moab; og han steg ned og fældede en Løve i en Cisterne, en Dag der var faldet Sne.
And Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada the sonne of a valiant man, which had done many actes, and was of Kabzeel, slewe two strong men of Moab: he went downe also, and slewe a lyon in the middes of a pit in the time of snowe.
21 Ligeledes fældede han Ægypteren, en kæmpestor Mand. Ægypteren havde et Spyd i Haanden, men han gik ned imod ham meden Stok, vristede Spydet ud af Haanden paa ham og dræbte ham med hans eget Spyd.
And he slewe an Egyptian a man of great stature, and the Egyptian had a speare in his hande: but he went downe to him with a staffe, and plucked the speare out of the Egyptians hand, and slewe him with his owne speare.
22 Disse Heltegerninger udførte Benaja, Jojadas Søn, og han var navnkundig iblandt de tredive Helte;
These things did Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and had the name among the three worthies.
23 iblandt de tredive var han højt æret, men de tre naaede han ikke. David satte ham over sin Livvagt.
He was honourable among thirtie, but he atteined not to the first three: and Dauid made him of his counsell.
