< 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:
And these [are] the last words of David. Faithful [is] David the son of Jessae, and faithful the man whom the Lord raised up to be the anointed of the God of Jacob, and beautiful [are] the psalms of Israel.
2 Ved mig talede HERRENS Aand, hans Ord var paa min Tunge.
The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, and his word [was] upon 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 says, A watchman out of Israel spoke to me a parable: I said among men, How will you strengthen the fear of the anointed?
4 han straaler som Morgenrøden, som den skyfri Morgensol, der fremlokker Urter af Jorden efter Regn.«
And in the morning light of God, let the sun arise in the morning, from the light of which the Lord passed on, and as it were from the rain of the tender grass upon the earth.
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 my house [is] not so with the Mighty One: for he has made an everlasting covenant with me, ready, guarded at every time; for all my salvation and all my desire [is], that the wicked should not flourish.
6 Men Niddinger er alle som Torne i Ørk, der tages ikke paa dem med Hænder;
All these [are] as a thorn thrust forth, for they shall not be taken with the hand,
7 ingen rører ved dem uden med Jern og Spydstage, i Ilden brændes de op.
and a man shall not labor among them; and [one shall have] that which is fully armed with iron, and the staff of a spear, an he shall burn them with fire, and they shall be burnt in their shame.
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 [are] the names of the mighty men of David: Jebosthe the Chananite is a captain of the third [part]: Adinon the Asonite, he drew his sword against eight hundred soldiers at once.
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 Eleanan the son of his uncle, son of Dudi who was among the three mighty men with David; and when he defied the Philistines they were gathered there to war, and the men of Israel went up.
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 an struck the Philistines, until his hand was weary, and his hand clave to the sword: and the Lord wrought a great salvation in that day, and the people rested behind him only to strip [the slain].
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;
And after him Samaia the son of Asa the Arachite: and the Philistines were gathered to Theria; and there was there a portion of ground full of lentiles; and the people fled before the Philistines.
12 men han stillede sig op midt paa Marken og holdt den og huggede Filisterne ned; og HERREN gav dem en stor Sejr.
And he stood firm in the midst of the portion, and rescued it, and struck the Philistines; and the Lord wrought a great deliverance.
13 Engang drog tre af de tredive ned og kom til David paa Klippens Top, til Adullams Hule, medens Filisterskaren var lejret i Refaimdalen.
And three out of the thirty went down, and came to Cason to David, to the cave of Odollam; and [there was] an army of the Philistines, and they encamped in the valley of Raphain.
14 David var dengang i Klippeborgen, medens Filisternes Besætning laa i Betlehem.
And David [was] then in the strong hold, and the garrison of the Philistines [was] then in Bethleem.
15 Saa vaagnede Lysten hos David, og han sagde: »Hvem skaffer mig en Drik Vand fra Cisternen ved Betlehems Port?«
And David longed, and said, Who will give me water to drink out of the well that is in Bethleem by the gate? now the band of the Philistines [was] then in Bethleem.
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
And the three mighty men broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well that was in Bethleem in the gate: and they took it, and brought it to David, and he would not drink it, but poured it out before the 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 he said, O Lord, forbid that I should do this, that I should drink of the blood of the men who went at [the risk of] their lives: and he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty 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 Abessa the brother of Joab the son of Saruia, he [was] chief among the three, and he lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he killed; and he had a name among three.
19 iblandt de tredive var han højtæret, og han var deres Anfører; men de tre naaede han ikke.
Of those three [he was] most honorable, and he became a chief over them, but he reached not to 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 Banaeas the son of Jodae, he was abundant in [mighty] deeds, from Cabeseel, and he struck the two sons of Ariel of Moab: and he went down and struck a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.
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.
He struck an Egyptian, a wonderful man, and in the hand of the Egyptian [was] a spear as the side of a ladder; and he went down to him with a staff, and snatched the spear from the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.
22 Disse Heltegerninger udførte Benaja, Jojadas Søn, og han var navnkundig iblandt de tredive Helte;
These things did Banaeas the son of Jodae, and he had a name among the three mighty men.
23 iblandt de tredive var han højt æret, men de tre naaede han ikke. David satte ham over sin Livvagt.
He was honorable among the [second] three, but he reached not to the [first] three: and David made him his reporter. And these [are] the names of King David's mighty men.
