Holy Bible Aionian Edition® ~ English---Leeser-Tanakh ~ 2-Samuel Chapter 23

< 2 Samuel 23 >

1 And these are the last words of David. Thus saith David the son of Jesse, and thus saith the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet singer 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, and his word was upon my tongue.

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

3 [Thus] said the God of Israel, concerning me spoke the Rock of Israel, That [I should be] ruler over men, be righteous, ruling in the fear of God;

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

4 And as in the light of morning the sun riseth, in a morning without clouds, with more than the brightness [reflected] by rain on the herbs that spring from the earth.

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

5 Truly is not so my house with God? since he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, firm in all, and sure? yea, will he not cause to grow all my salvation, and all my 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 godless are all of them as waving thorns, which cannot be taken in the hand;

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

7 But the man that will touch them must protect his hand with iron and the staff of a spear: and they will be utterly burnt with fire in the dwelling.

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

8 These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Yosheb-bashebeth, the Thachkemonite, the chief among the captains, —the same as 'Adino the 'Eznite, —because of eight hundred slain 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 And after him was El'azar the son of Dodo, the son of Achochi, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel had withdrawn themselves;

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 He then arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand did cleave unto the sword: and the Lord wrought a great victory on that day; and the people returned after him only to strip [the slain].

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 the son of Age the Hararite. The Philistines were gathered together into a troop, and there was a piece of ground full of lentiles; and the people had fled from the Philistines;

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 he placed himself in the midst of the ground, and delivered it, and smote the Philistines: and the Lord wrought a great victory.

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

13 And these three, the chiefs of the thirty, went down, and came to David at harvest-time unto the cave of 'Adullam: and the troop of the 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 And David was then in the strong-hold, and an outpost of the Philistines was then in Beth-lechem.

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

15 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would bring me water to drink out of the well at Beth-lechem, which is by the gate!

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

16 And the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines; and drew water out of the well of Beth-lechem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; but he would not drink thereof, and poured it out unto 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 And he said, Far be it from me, O Lord, that I should do this: [is not this] the blood of the men that went at the risk of their life? and thus he would not drink it. These things did 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 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruyah, was the chief of these three; and he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain, and had a name among 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 Although he was the most honored of the three, wherefore he became their captain: he nevertheless attained not unto the three [in prowess].

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

20 And Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', the son of a valiant man, great in many acts of Kabzeel; he it was that smote the two lion-like heroes of Moab; he also went down and slew a lion in the midst of a pit on a day when it snowed;

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 And he slew an Egyptian, a man of good appearance; and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and he snatched the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him 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 things did Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and he had a name among the three mighty men.

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

23 He was more honored than the thirty; but he attained not to these three. And David appointed him in his private council.

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

24 'Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elchanan the son of Dodo of Beth-lechem,

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

25 Shammah the Charodite, Elika the Charodite,

Šama iz Haroda; Elika iz Haroda;

26 Chelez the Paltite, 'Ira the son of 'Ikkesh the Teko'ite,

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

27 Abi'ezer the 'Anethothite, Mebunnai the Chushathite,

Abiezer iz Anatota; Sibekaj iz Huše;
