< 2 Samuel 23 >
1 And these [are] the last words of David: “A declaration of David son of Jesse, And a declaration of the man raised up—Concerning the anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweetness of the songs of Israel:
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 YHWH has spoken by me, And His word [is] on my tongue.
上主的神藉著我說話,的話語在我的唇舌上。
3 He said—the God of Israel—to me, He spoke—the Rock of Israel: He who is ruling over man [is] righteous, He is ruling 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 And he rises as the light of morning, A morning sun [with] no clouds! By the shining, by the rain, Tender grass of the earth!
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 For though my house [is] not so with God; So He made a perpetual covenant with me, Arranged in all things, and kept; For all my salvation, and all desire, For He has not caused [it] to spring up.
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 As for the worthless—All of them [are] driven away as a thorn, For they are not taken away by hand;
但匪徒敗類必像被拋棄的荊棘,誰也不敢去用手拿;
7 And the man who comes against them Is filled with iron and the staff of a spear, And they are utterly burned with fire In the cessation.”
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 mighty ones whom David has: sitting in the seat [is] the Tachmonite, head of the captains—he [is] Adino, who hardened himself against eight hundred—wounded at one time.
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 And after him [is] Eleazar son of Dodo, son of Ahohi, of the three mighty men with David; in their exposing themselves among the Philistines—they have been gathered there to battle, and the men of Israel go up—
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 he has arisen, and strikes among the Philistines until his hand has been weary, and his hand cleaves to the sword, and YHWH works a great salvation on that day, and the people turn back after him only to strip off.
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 [is] Shammah son of Agee the Hararite, and the Philistines are gathered into a company, and there is a portion of the field full of lentils there, and the people have fled from the presence 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 and he stations himself in the midst of the portion, and delivers it, and strikes the Philistines, and YHWH works 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 three of the thirty heads go down and come to the harvest, to David, to the cave of Adullam, and the company of the Philistines are encamping in the Valley of Rephaim,
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 [is] then in a fortress, and the station of the Philistines [is] then in Beth-Lehem,
達味恰在山岩內,而培肋舍特人當時在白冷駐防。
15 and David longs and says, “Who gives me a drink of the water of the well of Beth-Lehem, which [is] by 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 And the three mighty ones cleave through the camp of the Philistines, and draw water out of the well of Beth-Lehem, which [is] by the gate, and take [it] up, and bring [it] to David; and he was not willing to drink it, and pours it out to YHWH,
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 and says, “Far be it from me, O YHWH, to do this; is it the blood of the men who are going with their lives?” And he was not willing to drink it; the three mighty ones did these [things].
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 And Abishai brother of Joab, son of Zeruiah, he [is] head of three, and he is lifting up his spear against three hundred—wounded, and he has a name among 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 Is he not the honored of the three? And he becomes their head; and he has not come to the [first] 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 son of Jehoiada (son of a man of valor, great in deeds from Kabzeel), has struck two lion-like men of Moab, and he has gone down and struck the lion in the midst of the pit in a day 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 And he has struck the Egyptian man, a man of appearance, and a spear [is] in the hand of the Egyptian, and he goes down to him with a rod, and takes the spear violently away out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slays 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 son of Jehoiada has done these [things], and has a name among the three mighty ones.
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 He is honored more than the thirty, but he did not come to the three; and David sets him over his guard.
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。
