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:

Dette er Davids siste ord: «So lyder ordi frå David, Isaisonen, so lyder ordi frå mannen som vart upphøgd, han som Jakobs Gud hev salva, Israels ljuvlege songmeister:

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

Herrens Ande hev tala i meg, ordi hans er på tunga mi.

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,

Israels Gud hev tala so, Israels berg hev sagt til meg: Den som råder og gjer rett millom menn, den som rikjer i otte for Gud;

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.’

han likjest på dagsprett når soli renn, ein morgon forutan skyer, når graset grønkast i sol etter regn.

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?

Er det’kje so med mitt hus hjå Gud? Han gjorde ævelegt samband med meg, feste og trygde meg heilt og fullt. Ja, alt som vert meg til frelsa og gleda, det let han visseleg veksa åt meg.

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

Men uvyrdor likjest alle på utkasta tornar, ein vil ikkje taka i deim med hender.

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.”

Lyt ein røra deim væpnar ein seg med jarn og med spjotskaft; so set ein eld på deim og brenner deim på flekken.»

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.

Dette er namni på dei djervaste stridsmennerne åt David: Joseb-Bassebet, tahkmoniten, den fremste av kjemporne, han som svinga spjotet yver åtte hundrad falne på ein gong.

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,

Næst honom kom Eleazar, son åt Dodi, son åt ein ahohit. Han var ein av dei tri stridsmennerne som var med David, då filistarane samla seg til strid og svivyrde deim då Israels-mennerne drog seg attende.

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.

Men han heldt stand og hogg laust på filistarane, til dess handi hans trøytna, so ho trena i hop kring sverdet. Og Herren gav ein stor siger den dagen. Etterpå hadde folket berre å snu um og fylgja med honom og plundra.

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.

Næst honom kom Samma, son åt Age, ein hararit. Ein gong stemnde filistarane i hop og vart til ein heil flokk. Der var ein åkerteig full av linsor. Folket rømde for filistarane.

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.

Då tok han post midt på åkerteigen og verna honom, og slo filistarane. Herren gav ein stor siger.

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.

Ein gong drog tri av dei tretti fremste kararne ned, og kom i skurdonni til David i Adullams-helleren, medan ein filistarflokk låg i læger i Refa’imsdalen.

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

David var då i fjellborgi, samstundes med at ein filistarpost låg i Betlehem.

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 fekk slik hug og sagde: «Gjev einkvan vilde gjeva meg vatn å drikka frå brunnen ved byporten i Betlehem!»

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,

Då braut dei tri stridsmennerne seg gjenom filistarlægret, auste vatn or brunnen ved byporten i Betlehem og bar det til David. Men han vilde ikkje drikka det, men helte det ut for Herren.

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.

For han sagde: «Aldri i verdi, Herre, vil eg gjera dette! Skulde eg drikka blodet av dei mennerne som gjekk av stad og våga livet sitt?» Og han vilde ikkje drikka det. - Sovore hadde dei tri stridsmennerne gjort.

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.

Abisai, bror åt Joab Serujason, var den fremste av tri andre. Ein gong svinga han spjotet sitt yver tri hundrad falne. Han hadde eit stort namn millom dei tri;

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

han var visseleg meir vyrd enn nokon annan i dette trimannslaget; og han var hovding yver dei hine. Men upp til dei tri fyrste nådde han ikkje.

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.

Benaja Jojadason var son til ein djerv og dådrik mann frå Kabse’el. Han slo dei tvo Ariel i Moab. Det var han som steig ned ein snøversdag og drap løva i brunnen.

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.

Han drap og den egyptaren som var so sjåleg. Endå egyptaren hadde spjot i hand, gjekk han på honom berre med ein stav. Han reiv spjotet ut or handi på egyptaren og drap honom med hans eige spjot.

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

Sovore hadde Benaja Jojadason gjort. Han hadde eit stort namn millom dei tri stridsmennerne.

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

Han var meir vyrd enn nokon av dei tretti. Men upp til dei tri nådde han ikkje. David sette honom inn i livvakti si.

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

Til dei tretti høyrde: Asael, bror åt Joab, Elhanan Dodoson frå Betlehem,

25 Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite,

Samma frå Harod, Elika frå Harod,

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

Heles, paltiten, Ira Ikkesson frå Tekoa,

27 Abiezer the Anathothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite,

Abiezer frå Anatot, husatiten Mebunnai,
