Holy Bible Aionian Edition® ~ English---Berean-Standard ~ 2-Samuel Chapter 23

< 2 Samuel 23 >

1 These are the last words of David: “The oracle of David son of Jesse, the oracle of the man raised on high, the one anointed by the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel:

Ovo su posljednje Davidove riječi: “Riječ Davida, sina Jišajeva, riječ čovjeka koji je bio visoko uzdignut, pomazanika Boga Jakovljeva, pjevača pjesama Izraelovih:

2 The Spirit of the LORD spoke through me; His word was on my tongue.

Jahvin duh govori po meni, njegova je riječ na mom jeziku.

3 The God of Israel spoke; the Rock of Israel said to me, ‘He who rules the people with justice, who rules in the fear of God,

Reče mi Jakovljev Bog, reče mi Izraelova hrid: Tko vlada ljudima pravedno, i tko vlada u strahu Božjemu,

4 is like the light of the morning at sunrise of a cloudless dawn, the glistening after the rain on the sprouting grass of the earth.’

taj je kao jutarnja svjetlost kad ograne sunce, jutro bez oblaka, na kojem se svjetluca zemaljska trava poslije kiše.

5 Is not my house right with God? For He has established with me an everlasting covenant, ordered and secured in every part. Will He not bring about my full salvation and my every desire?

Da, moja kuća stoji čvrsto pred Bogom: on je učinio vječan Savez sa mnom, u svemu dobro uređen i utvrđen. Da, on će dati da napreduje sve moje spasenje i svaka moja želja.

6 But the worthless are all like thorns raked aside, for they can never be gathered by hand.

Belijalovi ljudi svi su kao trnje u pustinji, jer ih nitko ne hvata rukom.

7 The man who touches them must be armed with iron or with the shaft of a spear. The fire burns them to ashes in the place where they lie.”

Nitko ih se ne dotiče, osim gvožđem i kopljačom, i potpuno se spaljuju u ognju.”

8 These are the names of David’s mighty men: Josheb-basshebeth the Tahchemonite was chief of the Three. He wielded his spear against eight hundred men, whom he killed at one time.

Ovo su imena Davidovih junaka: Išbaal, Hakmonac, prvak među trojicom; on je zavitlao svojim kopljem protiv osam stotina i pobio ih najedanput.

9 Next in command was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite. As one of the three mighty men, he went with David to taunt the Philistines who had gathered for battle at Pas-dammim. The men of Israel retreated,

Za njim dolazi Eleazar, sin Dodonov, Ahoašanin, jedan od trojice junaka; on je bio s Davidom kod Pas Damina kad su se ondje skupili Filistejci za boj, a Izraelci se povukli pred njima.

10 but Eleazar stood his ground and struck the Philistines until his hand grew weary and stuck to his sword. The LORD brought about a great victory that day. Then the troops returned to him, but only to plunder the dead.

Ali se on čvrsto držao i udarao Filistejce dok mu se ruka nije ukočila i ostala kao prirasla uz mač. Jahve je dao veliku pobjedu u onaj dan, pa se vojska vratila za Eleazarom, ali samo da pokupi plijen.

11 And after him was Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. When the Philistines had banded together near a field full of lentils, Israel’s troops fled from them.

Za njim dolazi Šama, sin Elin, Hararac; kad su se Filistejci skupili u Lehiju, bijaše polje puno leće, a vojska je bila pobjegla ispred Filistejaca.

12 But Shammah took his stand in the middle of the field, defended it, and struck down the Philistines. So the LORD brought about a great victory.

Tada je on stao usred polja i obranio ga i potukao Filistejce. Tako je Jahve dao veliku pobjedu.

13 At harvest time, three of the thirty chief men went down to David at the cave of Adullam, while a company of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.

Trojica između tridesetorice jednom su krenula na put i o početku žetve došla k Davidu u Adulamsku pećinu kad jedna filistejska četa bijaše utaborena u Refaimskoj dolini.

14 At that time David was in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was at Bethlehem.

David je tada bio u svojoj kuli, a filistejska je posada bila tada u Betlehemu.

15 David longed for water and said, “Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!”

David uzdahnu: “O, kad bi me tko napojio vodom iz betlehemskoga studenca što je kod vrata?”

16 So the three mighty men broke through the Philistine camp, drew water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem, and brought it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out to the LORD,

Tada ta tri junaka prodriješe kroz filistejski tabor i, zahvativši vode iz betlehemskog studenca što je kod vrata, donesoše je i dadoše Davidu. Ali je David ne htjede piti, nego je proli kao ljevanicu Jahvi

17 saying, “Far be it from me, O LORD, to do this! Is this not the blood of the men who risked their lives?” So he refused to drink it. Such were the exploits of the three mighty men.

govoreći: “Ne dao mi Jahve da to učinim! Zar da pijem krv ovih ljudi? TÓa izlažući život pogibli, donijeli su vode!” I nije htio piti. To su, eto, učinila ta tri junaka.

18 Now Abishai, the brother of Joab and son of Zeruiah, was chief of the Three, and he lifted his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name along with the Three.

Abišaj, Joabov brat a sin Sarvijin, bio je vojvoda nad tridesetoricom. On je zavitlao kopljem na tri stotine, pobio ih i proslavio se među tridesetoricom.

19 Was he not more honored than the Three? And he became their commander, even though he was not included among the Three.

On se odlikovao među tridesetoricom i postao njihov glavar, ali nije dostigao trojice.

20 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a man of valor from Kabzeel, a man of many exploits. He struck down two champions of Moab, and on a snowy day he went down into a pit and killed a lion.

Jojadin sin Benaja, junak iz Kabseela, bogat junačkim djelima, ubio je dva sina Ariela iz Moaba; on je jednoga snježnog dana sišao i ubio lava usred jame.

21 He also killed an Egyptian, a huge man. Although the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club, snatched the spear from his hand, and killed the Egyptian with his own spear.

Ubio je i nekog Egipćanina, čovjeka golema stasa. Egipćanin je imao koplje u ruci, a on izišao preda nj sa štapom: istrgavši Egipćaninu koplje iz ruke, ubi ga njegovim kopljem.

22 These were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who won a name alongside the three mighty men.

To je učinio Jojadin sin Benaja i proslavio se među tridesetoricom junaka.

23 He was most honored among the Thirty, but he did not become one of the Three. And David appointed him over his guard.

Bio je najznamenitiji među tridesetoricom, ali one prve trojice nije dostigao; David ga postavi za zapovjednika svoje tjelesne straže.

24 Now these were members of the Thirty: Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

Asahel, brat Joabov, bio je među tridesetoricom. Zatim: Elhanan, sin Dodonov, iz Betlehema;

25 Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite,

Šama iz Haroda; Elika iz Haroda;

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

Heles iz Peleta; Ira, sin Ikešev, iz Tekoe;

27 Abiezer the Anathothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite,

Abiezer iz Anatota; Sibekaj iz Huše;
