< 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:

Og disse ere de sidste Davids Ord: Saa sagde David, Isajs Søn, og saa sagde den Mand, som er højt ophøjet, Jakobs Guds Salvede, og lystelig ved Israels Salmer:

2 “The Spirit of the Lord has spoken through me, and his word was spoken through my tongue.

Herrens Aand talede ved mig, og hans Tale er paa min Tunge.

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,

Israels Gud sagde, til mig talede Israels Klippe: Der skal være en, som hersker iblandt Menneskene, en retfærdig, en, som hersker i Guds Frygt,

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.

og som Lys om Morgenen, naar Solen opgaar, om Morgenen, naar der ikke ere Skyer, naar Græsset vokser af Jorden ved Solskin efter Regnen.

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.

Thi staar mit Hus sig ikke saa med Gud? thi han har sat mig en evig Pagt, som er ordentligt beskikket i alle Maader og bevaret; thi al min Frelse og al min Lyst, skulde han ej lade den spire frem?

6 But all prevaricators shall be plucked out like thorns, yet they are not taken away by hands.

Men Belials Børn, de skulle alle sammen være som Torne, der udkastes; thi de kunne ikke tages med Haand.

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.”

Men hver, som vil røre ved dem, maa være forsynet med Jern og Spydstage; og de skulle opbrændes med Ild, hvor de bo.

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.

Disse ere Navnene paa de vældige, som hørte David til: Joseb-Basebeth Takmoni var en Øverste for Høvedsmændene, han svingede sin Lanse imod otte Hundrede, som bleve ihjelslagne paa een Gang.

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.

Og efter ham var Eleasar, en Søn af Dodo, som var en Søn af Ahohi; han var iblandt de tre vældige med David, da de forhaanede Filisterne, som der vare forsamlede til Strid, medens Israels Mænd droge op.

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.

Han stod op og slog Filisterne, indtil hans Haand blev træt, og hans Haand hang fast ved Sværdet, og Herren gjorde en stor Frelse paa den samme Dag; og Folket vendte tilbage efter ham kun for at udplyndre de ihjelslagne.

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,

Og efter ham var Arariteren Samma, Ages Søn; da Filisterne vare forsamlede i en Hob, da var der sammesteds et Stykke Land fuldt med Linser, og Folket flyede for Filisternes Ansigt,

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.

og han stillede sig midt paa dette Stykke og friede det og slog Filisterne, og Herren gjorde en stor Frelse.

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.

Og tre af de tredive ypperste gik ned og kom om Høsten til David til Hulen ved Adullam, og Filisternes Hob havde lejret sig i Refaims Dal.

14 And David was in a stronghold. Moreover, there was a garrison of the Philistines at that time in Bethlehem.

Og David var da i Befæstningen; men Filisternes Befæstning var da i Bethlehem.

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!”

Og David fik Lyst og sagde: Hvo vil give mig Vand at drikke af den Brønd i Bethlehem, som er ved Porten?

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,

Da brøde de tre vældige ind i Filisternes Lejr og droge Vand af den Brønd i Bethlehem, som er i Porten, og de bare og førte det til David; men han vilde ikke drikke deraf, men udøste det for Herren.

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.

Og han sagde: Det være langt fra mig, o Herre! at jeg skulde gøre dette! er det ikke de Mænds Blod, som gik derhen med Livsfare? Og han vilde ikke drikke det. Dette gjorde de tre vældige.

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,

Og Abisaj, Joabs Broder, Zerujas Søn, var en Øverste for Høvedsmændene, og han opløftede sit Spyd imod tre Hundrede, som bleve ihjelslagne; og han var navnkundig iblandt de tre.

19 and he was the noblest of the three, and he was their leader. But at first he did not attain to the three.

Var han ikke herligere end de tre? og han var deres Øverste; men han naaede ikke de tre.

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.

Og Benaja, Jojadas Søn, var en stridbar Mands Søn, stor i Gerninger, fra Kabzeel; han slog to Løvehelte af Moabiterne, og han gik ned og slog en Løve midt i en Brønd en Dag, da der var Sne.

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.

Og han slog en ægyptisk Mand, som var anselig, og den Ægypter havde et Spyd i sin Haand; men han gik ned til ham med en Kæp, og han rykkede Spydet af Ægypterens Haand og slog ham ihjel med hans eget Spyd.

22 Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, accomplished these things.

Disse Ting gjorde Benaja, Jojadas Søn, og han var navnkundig iblandt de tre vældige,

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.

herligere end de tredive, men han naaede ikke de tre; og David satte ham i sit Raad.

24 Among the thirty were: Asahel, the brother of Joab, Elhanan, the son of his paternal uncle, from Bethlehem,

Asael, Joabs Broder, var iblandt de tredive; Elhanan, Dodos Søn af Bethlehem;

25 Shammah from Harod, Elika from Harod,

Haroditeren Samma; Haroditeren Elika;

26 Helez from Palti, Ira, the son of Ikkesh, from Tekoa,

Palthiteren Helez; Thekoiteren Ira, Ikes's Søn;

27 Abiezer from Anathoth, Mebunnai from Hushah,

Anathothiteren Abieser; Husathiteren Mebunaj;

28 Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite,

Ahohiteren Zalmon; Netofathiteren Maharaj;

29 Heleb, the son of Baanah, also himself a Netophathite, Ittai, the son of Ribai, from Gibeah, of the sons of Benjamin,
