2 Samuel 23
1 David, the son of Jesse, was a man whom [God caused to] become great. He was appointed to become king by the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. He wrote beautiful songs for the Israeli people. This is the last song that he wrote:
Dessa äro de sista Davids ord; David, Isai son, sade: Den mannen sadet, som för en Jacobs Guds smord uppsätter är, och en lustig Israels diktare.
2 “The Spirit of Yahweh tells me what to say; the message that I speak [MTY] comes from him.
Herrans Ande hafver talat genom mig, och hans ord är skedt genom mina tungo.
3 God, the one whom we Israeli [people worship], has spoken; the one who protects us Israeli people said to me, ‘Kings who rule people justly have an awesome respect for me, God.
Israels Gud hafver talat till mig; Israels tröst hafver mig tillsagt, den der råder öfver menniskorna, den rättvise rådanden i Guds fruktan;
4 They are like the sun that shines at dawn and causes the grass to [sprout/sparkle] after the rain ends.’
Såsom ljuset är om morgonen, då solen uppgår bittida, utan moln; och af skenet efter regn växer gräs upp af jordene.
5 And truly, that is how God will surely bless my family [RHQ] because he made an agreement with me that will endure forever, an agreement in which he promises that no part of it will ever be changed. He will surely cause me to prosper [RHQ], and he will always help me, and that is all that I desire.
Ty ingen ting är för Gudi såsom mitt hus; ty han hafver gjort ett evigt förbund med mig, i alla måtto visst och fast; ty det är all min salighet, och all lust, att intet så växa skall.
6 But [he will get rid of] godless/evil people like [SIM] people throw away thorns that [injure people if they try to] pick them up with their hands.
Men den ogudaktige Belial skall varda alldeles utrotad såsom törne, så att man intet behåller deraf.
7 Someone [who wants to get rid of thornbushes] does not grab them; he uses an iron [shovel] or a spear [to dig them out] and then he burns them completely.
Och om någor antastar dem, skola de med jern och spets platt förderfva dem; och man skall uppbränna dem med eld i deras rum.
8 These are the names of David’s three greatest warriors. The first was Esh-Baal, [whose other name was Jashobeam], from the Hachmon clan (OR, the son of Hachmon). He was the leader of the three men. One time he fought against 800 enemies and killed them all with his spear.
Desse äro namnen af Davids hjeltar: Jasabeam, Hachmoni son, den ypperste ibland tre; hvilken upphof sin spets, och slog ihjäl åttahundrad i ena reso.
9 The second/next one of the three greatest warriors was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh. One day he was with David when they defied/challenged the soldiers of Philistia who had gathered for the battle. The [other] Israeli soldiers retreated,
Näst honom var Eleazar, Dodi son, Ahohi sons, ibland de tre hjeltar med David, då de förhädde de Philisteer, och voro der församlade till strid, och Israels män drogo upp.
10 but Eleazar stood there and fought the soldiers of Philistia until his arm became very tired, with the result that [his hand cramped and] he could not stop gripping his sword. Yahweh won a great victory on that day. And afterwards the [other] Israeli soldiers returned [to where Eleazar was], and stripped off the [armor from the men whom he had] killed.
Då stod han, och slog de Philisteer, tilldess hans hand dofnade, trött af svärdena. Och Herren gaf en stor salighet på den tiden, så att folket vände om igen efter honom till att röfva.
11 The third one of the greatest warriors was Shammah, the son of Agee from [the clan/town of] Harar. One time the Philistia soldiers gathered at Lehi [town], where there was a field full of lentils/peas [that they wanted to steal]. The other Israeli soldiers ran away from the Philistia troops,
Efter honom var Samma, Age son, den Hararitens. Då de Philisteer församlade sig i en rota, och der var en åker full med linse, och folket flydde för de Philisteer;
12 but Shammah stood there in the field and did not let the Philistia soldiers [steal the crops], and killed them. Yahweh won a great victory on that day.
Då trädde han midt uppå den åkren, och undsatte honom, och slog de Philisteer; och Herren gaf en stor salighet.
13 Altogether there were 30 special warriors among David’s soldiers. Once, when it was almost time to harvest [the crops], three of those 30 men went down to Adullam Cave, where David was [staying]. A group of men from the Philistia army had set up their tents in Rephaim Valley [near Jerusalem].
Och desse tre ypperste ibland tretio kommo neder i andene, till David uti kulona Adullam; och de Philisteers rote låg i Rephaims dal.
14 David [and his soldiers] were in the cave [because it was safe there], and [another] group of Philistia soldiers was occupying Bethlehem.
Men David var på den tiden på borgene; och de Philisteers folk låg i BethLehem.
15 [One day] David very much wanted [some water] to drink, and said “I wish that someone would bring me some water from the well near the gate at Bethlehem!”
Och David vardt lysten och sade: Ho vill hemta mig dricka af det vatten i BethLehems brunn, under portenom?
16 So his three greatest warriors forced their way through the camp of Philistia soldiers and drew some water from the well, and brought it to David. But he would not drink it. Instead, he poured it out [on the ground] as an offering to Yahweh.
Då föllo de tre hjeltar in uti de Philisteers lägre, och hemtade vatten utu brunnenom i BethLehem, under porten, och båro till David; men han ville intet dricka det, utan utgöt det Herranom;
17 He said, “Yahweh, it would certainly not be right for me to drink this water! That would be like [RHQ] drinking the blood of these men who were willing/ready to die for me!” So he refused to drink it. That was one of the things that those three great warriors did.
Och sade: Det låte Herren vara långt ifrå mig, att jag detta göra skulle; är det icke de mäns blod, som sitt lif vågade, och gingo dit? Och han ville icke drickat. Det gjorde nu de tre hjeltar.
18 Abishai, Joab’s [younger] brother, was the leader of the 30 [greatest warriors]. [One day] he fought against 300 men and killed them all with his spear. As a result, he also became famous.
Abisai, Joabs broder, ZeruJa son, var ock en ypperst ibland tre. Han hof sin spets upp, och slog trehundrad, och var också prisad ibland tre;
19 He was the most famous of the thirty greatest warriors, and he became their leader/commander, but he was not one of the three greatest warriors.
Och den härligaste ibland tre och var deras öfverste; men han kom icke intill de tre.
20 Jehoiada’s son Benaiah, from Kabzeel [town], also did great deeds. He killed two of the best warriors from the Moab people-group. Also, he went down into a pit on a day when snow was falling, and killed a lion there.
Och Benaja, Jojada son, IsHails sons af storom gerningom, af Kabzeel, han slog tu de Moabiters lejon, och gick ned, och slog ett lejon i brunnenom i snötiden;
21 He also killed a huge soldier from Egypt who carried a spear. Benaiah [had only] his club, but he attacked the giant with it. Then he snatched the spear from the man’s hand and killed him with his own spear.
Och slog desslikes en grufvelig Egyptisk man; den hade en spets i sine hand; men han gick neder till honom med en staf, och tog den Egyptien spetsen utu handene, och slog honom ihjäl med sin egen spets.
22 Those are [some of] the things that Benaiah did. As a result, he became famous, like the three greatest warriors were.
Detta gjorde Benaja, Jojada son, och var beprisad ibland de tre hjeltar;
23 He was more honored than the other members of the group of thirty great warriors, but not as famous as the three greatest warriors. David appointed him to be the commander of his bodyguards.
Och härligare än de tretio; men han kom icke till de tre. Och David gjorde honom till sitt hemliga Råd.
