Holy Bible Aionian Edition® ~ English---A-Conservative-Version ~ 2-Samuel Chapter 23

< 2 Samuel 23 >

1 Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse says, and the man who was raised on high says, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel:

haec autem sunt verba novissima quae dixit David filius Isai dixit vir cui constitutum est de christo Dei Iacob egregius psalta Israhel

2 The Spirit of Jehovah spoke by me, and his word was upon my tongue.

spiritus Domini locutus est per me et sermo eius per linguam meam

3 The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me. He who rules over men righteously, who rules in the fear of God,

dixit Deus Israhel mihi locutus est Fortis Israhel dominator hominum iustus dominator in timore Dei

4 he 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.

sicut lux aurorae oriente sole mane absque nubibus rutilat et sicut pluviis germinat herba de terra

5 Truly my house is not 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, though he does not make it to grow.

nec tanta est domus mea apud Deum ut pactum aeternum iniret mecum firmum in omnibus atque munitum cuncta enim salus mea et omnis voluntas nec est quicquam ex ea quod non germinet

6 But the worthless shall be as thorns to be thrust away, all of them, because they cannot be taken with the hand.

praevaricatores autem quasi spinae evellentur universi quae non tolluntur manibus

7 But the man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear, and they shall be utterly burned with fire in their place.

et si quis tangere voluerit eas armabitur ferro et ligno lanceato igneque succensae conburentur usque ad nihilum

8 These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains, the same was Adino the Eznite, against eight hundred slain at one time.

haec nomina fortium David Sedens in cathedra sapientissimus princeps inter tres ipse est quasi tenerrimus ligni vermiculus qui octingentos interfecit impetu uno

9 And 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 were gone away.

post hunc Eleazar filius patrui eius Ahoi inter tres fortes qui erant cum David quando exprobraverunt Philisthim et congregati sunt illuc in proelium

10 He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clung to the sword. And Jehovah wrought a great victory that day, and the people returned after him only to take spoil.

cumque ascendissent viri Israhel ipse stetit et percussit Philistheos donec deficeret manus eius et obrigesceret cum gladio fecitque Dominus salutem magnam in die illa et populus qui fugerat reversus est ad caesorum spolia detrahenda

11 And after him was Shammah the son of Agee a Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop where was a plot of ground full of lentils, and the people fled from the Philistines.

et post hunc Semma filius Age de Arari et congregati sunt Philisthim in statione erat quippe ibi ager plenus lente cumque fugisset populus a facie Philisthim

12 But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines. And Jehovah wrought a great victory.

stetit ille in medio agri et tuitus est eum percussitque Philistheos et fecit Dominus salutem magnam

13 And 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.

necnon ante descenderant tres qui erant principes inter triginta et venerant tempore messis ad David in speluncam Odollam castra autem Philisthim erant posita in valle Gigantum

14 And David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

et David erat in praesidio porro statio Philisthinorum tunc erat in Bethleem

15 And David longed, and said, Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!

desideravit igitur David et ait si quis mihi daret potum aquae de cisterna quae est in Bethleem iuxta portam

16 And 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 Jehovah.

inruperunt ergo tres fortes castra Philisthinorum et hauserunt aquam de cisterna Bethleem quae erat iuxta portam et adtulerunt ad David at ille noluit bibere sed libavit illam Domino

17 And he said, Be it far from me, O Jehovah, that I should do this, to drink the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives? Therefore he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did.

dicens propitius mihi sit Dominus ne faciam hoc num sanguinem hominum istorum qui profecti sunt et animarum periculum bibam noluit ergo bibere haec fecerunt tres robustissimi

18 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three.

Abisai quoque frater Ioab filius Sarviae princeps erat de tribus ipse est qui elevavit hastam suam contra trecentos quos interfecit nominatus in tribus

19 Was he not most honorable of the three? Therefore he was made their captain. However he did not attain to the first three.

et inter tres nobilior eratque eorum princeps sed usque ad tres primos non pervenerat

20 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.

et Banaias filius Ioiada viri fortissimi magnorum operum de Capsehel ipse percussit duos leones Moab et ipse descendit et percussit leonem in media cisterna diebus nivis

21 And he killed an Egyptian, a good-looking man. 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.

ipse quoque interfecit virum aegyptium virum dignum spectaculo habentem in manu hastam itaque cum descendisset ad eum in virga vi extorsit hastam de manu Aegyptii et interfecit eum hasta sua

22 These things Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did, and had a name among the three mighty men.

haec fecit Banaias filius Ioiadae

23 He was more honorable than the thirty, but he did not attain to the first three. And David set him over his guard.

et ipse nominatus inter tres robustos qui erant inter triginta nobiliores verumtamen usque ad tres non pervenerat fecitque eum David sibi auricularium a secreto

24 Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

Asahel frater Ioab inter triginta Eleanan filius patrui eius de Bethleem

25 Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite,

Semma de Arari Helica de Arodi

26 Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,

Helas de Felthi Hira filius Aces de Thecua

27 Abiezer the Anathothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite,

Abiezer de Anathoth Mobonnai de Usathi

28 Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite,

Selmon Aohites Maharai Netophathites

29 Heleb the son of Baanah the Netophathite, Ittai the son of Ribai of Gibeah of the sons of Benjamin,

Heled filius Banaa et ipse Netophathites Hithai filius Ribai de Gebeeth filiorum Beniamin
