2 Samuel 23
1 Now these are the last words of David. David, the son of Jesse, says, the man who was lifted up on high, the man on whom the God of Jacob put the holy oil, the loved one of Israel's songs, says:
Torej to so zadnje Davidove besede. Jesejev sin David je rekel in mož, ki je bil vzdignjen na visoko, maziljenec Jakobovega Boga in prijeten Izraelov psalmist, je rekel:
2 The spirit of the Lord had voice through me, his word was on my tongue.
» Gospodov Duh je govoril po meni in njegova beseda je bila na mojem jeziku.
3 The God of Israel said, the word of the Rock of Israel came to me: When an upright king is ruling over men, when he is ruling in the fear of God,
Izraelov Bog je rekel: ›Izraelova skala mi je spregovorila: ›Kdor vlada nad ljudmi, mora biti pravičen, vladajoč v strahu Božjem.‹‹
4 It is as the light of the morning, when the sun comes up, a morning without clouds; making young grass come to life from the earth.
In on bo kakor svetloba jutra, ko vzhaja sonce, celó brezoblačno jutro, kakor nežna trava, ki poganja iz zemlje, s čistim sijanjem po dežju.
5 For is not my house so with God? For he has made with me an eternal agreement, ordered in all things and certain: as for all my salvation and all my desire, will he not give it increase?
Čeprav moja hiša ni takšna z Bogom, vendar je z menoj sklenil večno zavezo, urejeno v vseh stvareh in zanesljivo. Kajti to je vsa moja rešitev duše in vsa moja želja, čeprav ji on ne daje rasti.
6 But the evil-doers, all of them, will be like thorns to be pushed away, because they may not be gripped in the hand:
Toda Beliálovi sinovi bodo vsi izmed njih kakor zavrženo trnje, ker ne morejo biti prijeti z rokami,
7 But anyone touching them has to be armed with iron and the rod of a spear; and they will be burned with fire, every one of them.
toda človek, ki se jih bo dotaknil, mora biti ograjen z železom in palico sulice, in na istem kraju bodo popolnoma požgani z ognjem.«
8 These are the names of David's men of war: Ishbaal the Hachmonite, chief of the three; his axe was lifted up against eight hundred put to death at one time.
To so imena mogočnih mož, ki jih je imel David: Tahkemoníjec, ki je sedel na sedežu, glavni izmed poveljnikov; enak je bil Ezničan Adino. Svojo sulico je vzdignil proti osemstotim, ki jih je enkrat pobil.
9 After him was Eleazar, the son of Dodai the Ahohite, one of the three great fighters, who was with David in Pas-dammim when the Philistines came together there for the fight; and when the men of Israel had gone in flight,
Za njim je bil Eleazar, sin Dodója, Ahóahovca, z Davidom eden izmed treh mogočnih mož, ko so izzivali Filistejce, ki so bili tam skupaj zbrani za boj in Izraelovi možje so odšli proč.
10 He was with David and went on fighting the Philistines till his hand became tired and stiff from gripping his sword: and that day the Lord gave a great salvation, and the people came back after him only to take the goods of the Philistines.
Ta je vstal in udarjal Filistejce, dokler njegova roka ni bila izmučena in se je njegova roka trdno oklenila meča in Gospod je tisti dan izvršil veliko zmago in ljudstvo se je vrnilo za njim, [vendar] samo da plenijo.
11 After him was Shammah, the son of Ela the Hararite. And the Philistines came together in Lehi, where there was a bit of land full of seed; and the people went in flight from the Philistines.
Za njim je bil Šamá, sin Hararéjca Agaja. Filistejci so bili skupaj zbrani v krdelo, kjer je bil kos polja poln leče in ljudstvo je pobegnilo pred Filistejci.
12 But he kept his place in the middle of the bit of land, and kept back their attack and overcame the Philistines: and the Lord gave a great salvation.
Toda on je stal na sredi polja in ga obranil in pobil Filistejce, in Gospod je izvršil veliko zmago.
13 And three of the thirty went down at the start of the grain-cutting, and they came to David at the strong place of Adullam; and the band of Philistines had taken up their position in the valley of Rephaim.
Trije izmed tridesetih vodij so odšli dol in prišli k Davidu v času žetve, k votlini Adulám, in krdelo Filistejcev je taborilo v dolini Rafájim.
14 And at that time David had taken cover in the strong place, and an armed force of the Philistines was in Beth-lehem.
David je bil takrat v utrdbi in garnizija Filistejcev je bila takrat v Betlehemu.
15 And David, moved by a strong desire, said, If only someone would give me a drink of water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town!
David je hrepenel in rekel: »Oh, da bi mi nekdo dal piti od vode betlehemskega vodnjaka, ki je pri velikih vratih!«
16 And the three men, forcing their way through the Philistine army, got water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town, and took it back to David: but he would not take it, but, draining it out, made an offering of it to the Lord.
Trije mogočni možje so predrli vojsko Filistejcev in zajeli vodo iz betlehemskega vodnjaka, ki je bil pri velikih vratih in jo vzeli ter jo prinesli k Davidu, pa vendar ni hotel piti od nje, temveč jo je izlil Gospodu.
17 And he said, Far be it from me, O Lord, to do this; how may I take as my drink the life-blood of men who have put their lives in danger? So he would not take it. These things did the three great men of war.
Rekel je: »Daleč naj bo od mene, oh Gospod, da bi to storil. Mar ni to kri mož, ki so šli v nevarnosti za svoja življenja?« Zato tega ni hotel piti. Te stvari so storili ti trije mogočni možje.
18 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the thirty. He put to death three hundred with his spear, and he got for himself a name among the thirty.
Abišáj, Joábov brat, Cerújin sin, je bil vodja med tremi. Svojo sulico je dvignil proti tristotim in jih pobil in imel je ime med tremi.
19 Was he not the noblest of the thirty? so he was made their captain: but he was not equal to the first three.
Mar ni bil on najbolj častitljiv izmed treh? Zato je bil njihov poveljnik, vendar prvih treh ni dosegel.
20 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, a fighting man of Kabzeel, had done great acts; he put to death the two sons of Ariel of Moab: he went down into a hole and put a lion to death in time of snow:
Jojadájev sin Benajá, sin hrabrega moža iz Kabceéla, ki je storil mnogo dejanj, je usmrtil dva, levom podobna moža iz Moába. Odšel je tudi dol in ubil leva v sredi jame v času snega.
21 And he made an attack on an Egyptian, a tall man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a stick, and pulling the spear out of the hands of the Egyptian, put him to death with that same spear.
Ubil je Egipčana, čednega moža. Egipčan je imel v svoji roki sulico, toda dol k njemu je šel s palico in iztrgal sulico iz Egipčanove roke in ga ubil z njegovo lastno sulico.
22 These were the acts of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who had a great name among the thirty men of war.
Te stvari je storil Jojadájev sin Benajá in imel je ime med tremi mogočnimi možmi.
23 He was honoured over the rest of the thirty, but he was not equal to the first three. And David put him over the fighting men who kept him safe.
Bil je častitljivejši od tridesetih, vendar prvih treh ni dosegel. In David ga je postavil nad svojo stražo.
