2 Samuel 23
1 These are the last words of David. Now David, the son of Jesse, the man to whom it was appointed concerning the Christ of the God of Jacob, the preeminent psalmist of Israel said:
達味的最後遺言如下：葉的兒子達味的神諭，至高者所舉揚的人，雅各伯的天主的受傅者，以色列的善歌詠者的神諭：
2 “The Spirit of the Lord has spoken through me, and his word was spoken through my tongue.
上主的神藉著我說話，的話語在我的唇舌上。
3 The God of Israel spoke to me, the Strong One of Israel spoke, the Ruler of men, the Just Ruler, in the fear of God,
雅各伯的天主說過，以色列的磐石曾向我說：那以正義統治人的，那以敬畏天主之情統治人的，
4 like the first light of the morning as the sun is rising, when a morning without clouds glows red, and like plants springing forth from the earth after a rainfall.
有如日出時的晨光，無雲的黎明，雨後射在綠草地上的光輝。
5 But my house is not so great with God that he should undertake an eternal covenant with me, firm and fortified in all things. For he is the entirety of my salvation and the entirety of my will. And there is nothing of this which will not spring forth.
的確，我的家必屹立在天主前，因為衪與我結了永久的盟約，妥善而有保證的盟約，衪豈能不給我產生救恩和喜樂。
6 But all prevaricators shall be plucked out like thorns, yet they are not taken away by hands.
但匪徒敗類必像被拋棄的荊棘，誰也不敢去用手拿；
7 And if anyone wishes to touch them, he must be armed with iron and a wooden lance. And they shall be set ablaze and burned to nothing.”
誰若去觸動，必用刀或槍柄打伐，而後用火燒盡」。
8 These are the names of the valiant of David. Sitting in the chair was the wisest leader among the three; he was like a very tender little worm in a tree, who killed eight hundred men in one attack.
以下是達味勇將的名單：哈革摩尼人依市巴耳是三傑之首，他一次揮矛擊殺了八百人。
9 After him, there was Eleazar, the son of his paternal uncle, an Ahohite, who was among the three valiant men who were with David when they chastised the Philistines, and they were gathered together in battle there.
其次為阿曷亞人多多的兒子厄肋阿匝爾，也是三傑之一。有一次他同達味在帕斯達明，當培肋舍特人正在那裏集合準備交戰時，以色列人退卻，
10 And when the men of Israel had gone up, he himself stood fast and struck down the Philistines, until his hand grew weak and stiff with the sword. And the Lord wrought a great salvation on that day. And the people who had fled returned to take up the spoils of the slain.
他卻固守陣地，擊殺培肋舍特人，直到他的手麻痺無力，貼在刀柄上。上主在那一天使他大獲勝利，民眾折回，在他身後專奪財物。
11 And after him, there was Shammah, the son of Agee, from Hara. And the Philistines gathered together at an outpost. For a field full of lentils was in that place. And when the people had fled from the face of the Philistines,
再其次是哈辣黎人厄拉的兒子沙瑪。那時，培肋舍特人在肋希集合；在口有一塊長滿扁豆的田地。當民眾由培肋舍特心面前逃走時，
12 he stood fast in the middle of the field, and it was protected by him. And he struck down the Philistines. And the Lord wrought a great salvation.
他獨自立在田間，保護了那塊田地，殺敗了培肋舍特人：如上主又使他大獲勝利。
13 And moreover, before this, the three who were leaders among the thirty descended and went to David at harvest time, in the cave of Adullam. But the camp of the Philistines was positioned in the Valley of the giants.
在開始收割時，培肋舍特的軍隊在勒法因平原紮了營，三十勇士中，有三位下到阿杜藍山岩，來見達味。
14 And David was in a stronghold. Moreover, there was a garrison of the Philistines at that time in Bethlehem.
達味恰在山岩內，而培肋舍特人當時在白冷駐防。
15 Then David desired, and he said, “If only someone would give me a drink of the water from the cistern, which is in Bethlehem beside the gate!”
達味渴望著說：「誰能為白冷城門旁的井中，給我打一點水來喝﹖」
16 Therefore, the three valiant men burst into the encampment of the Philistines, and they drew water from the cistern of Bethlehem, which was beside the gate. And they brought it to David. Yet he was not willing to drink; instead, he poured it out to the Lord,
那三位勇士就衝過培肋舍特人的營幕，從白冷城門旁的井裏打了水，將水取來，帶到達味前，但他不肯喝，反而將水奠於上主前，
17 saying: “May the Lord be gracious to me, so that I may not do this. Should I drink the blood of these men who have set out to the peril of their own lives?” Therefore, he was not willing to drink. These things were accomplished by these three robust men.
說：「上主決不許我做這事；我豈能喝那些冒生命危險者的血﹖」所以他不止喝。這是這三位勇士的事。
18 Also Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was first among the three. It was he who lifted up his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed. And he was renowned among the three,
責魯雅兒子，約阿布的兄弟，阿彼瑟是三十勇士的領袖，他揮舞長矛擊殺了三百人，因此，在三十勇士中出了名。
19 and he was the noblest of the three, and he was their leader. But at first he did not attain to the three.
他是三十勇士中最出名的，所以做了他們的領袖，但尚不及前三傑。
20 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, a very strong man of great deeds, was from Kabzeel. He slew the two lions of Moab, and he descended and slew a lion in the middle of a den, in the days of snow.
約雅達的兒子貝納雅原是卡貝責耳人，是一位英勇，大有作為的人。他擊殺了摩阿布人阿黎耳的兩個兒子，又在下雪天，下到旱井裏打死一隻獅子。
21 He also killed an Egyptian who had a spear in his hand, a man worthy to behold. And yet he had gone down to him with only a staff. And he forced the spear from the hand of the Egyptian, and he killed him with his own spear.
他也曾打死了一個埃及大漢。這埃及人手中拿著長矛，他只拿著一棍子，就下去與他對抗，從那埃及人手裏把長矛奪過來，用那長矛將他殺死。
22 Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, accomplished these things.
這是約雅達的兒子貝納雅做的事，因此，他在三十勇士中也出了名。
23 And he was renowned among the three robust men, who were the most noble among the thirty. Yet truly, he did not attain to the three, until David made him his secret advisor.
他比三十勇士更有名望，但尚不及前三傑。達味派他作侍衛長。
