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:
Davut'un son sözleri şunlardır: “İşay oğlu Davut, Tanrı'nın yükselttiği adam, Yakup'un Tanrısı'nın meshettiği, İsrail'in sevilen ezgi okuyucusu şöyle diyor:
2 “The Spirit of Yahweh tells me what to say; the message that I speak [MTY] comes from him.
RAB'bin Ruhu benim aracılığımla konuşuyor, Sözü dilimin ucundadır.
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.
İsrail'in Tanrısı konuştu, İsrail'in kayası bana dedi ki, ‘İnsanları doğrulukla Ve Tanrı korkusuyla yöneten kişi,
4 They are like the sun that shines at dawn and causes the grass to [sprout/sparkle] after the rain ends.’
Bulutsuz bir sabah, Şafakta görünen gün ışığı gibidir, Parlaklığı yağmurdan sonra topraktan ot bitirir.’
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.
Soyum da Tanrı'yla böyle değil mi? O benimle sonsuza dek kalıcı, Her yönüyle düzenli ve güvenilir bir antlaşma yaptı. Kesin kurtuluşa ve her dileğime kavuşmamı O sağlamayacak mı?
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.
Kötülere gelince, Elle tutulamayan dikenler gibi Tümü bir yana atılacak.
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.
Dikenlere dokunan kişi, Demir bir araçla Ya da mızrağın sapıyla dokunur. Dikenler oldukları yerde bütünüyle yakılacak.”
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.
Davut'un yiğit askerlerinin adları şunlardır: Esnili Adino diye de bilinen üç kişinin önderi Tahkemonlu Yoşeb-Başşevet bir saldırıda sekiz yüz kişiyi öldürdü.
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,
İkincisi, Ahohlu Dodo oğlu Elazar. Pas-Dammim'de savaşmak için toplanan Filistliler'e meydan okuyan Davut'un yanındaki üç yiğitten biriydi. İsrailliler o sırada geri çekilmişlerdi.
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.
Ama Elazar yerinde durdu; eli yorulup kılıca yapışıncaya dek Filistliler'i öldürdü. O gün RAB büyük bir zafer sağladı. İsrailliler yalnız yere serilenleri yağmalamak üzere Elazar'a döndüler.
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,
Üçüncüsü, Hararlı Age oğlu Şamma'ydı. Filistliler Lahay'daki bir mercimek tarlasının yanında toplandıklarında, İsrailli askerler onların önünden kaçmıştı.
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.
Ama Şamma tarlanın ortasında durup orayı savunmuş, Filistliler'i öldürmüştü. RAB büyük bir zafer sağlamıştı.
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].
Biçme zamanı Otuzlar'dan üçü Davut'un yanına, Adullam Mağarası'na gittiler. Bir Filist birliği Refaim Vadisi'nde ordugah kurmuştu.
14 David [and his soldiers] were in the cave [because it was safe there], and [another] group of Philistia soldiers was occupying Bethlehem.
Bu sırada Davut hisarda, ikinci Filist birliğiyse Beytlehem'deydi.
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!”
Davut özlemle, “Keşke biri Beytlehem'de kapının yanındaki kuyudan bana su getirse!” dedi.
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.
Bu Üçler Filist ordugahının ortasından geçerek Beytlehem'de kapının yanındaki kuyudan su çekip Davut'a getirdiler. Ama Davut içmek istemedi; suyu yere dökerek RAB'be sundu.
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.
“Ya RAB, bunu yapmak benden uzak olsun!” dedi, “Canlarını tehlikeye atıp giden bu üç kişinin kanını mı içeyim?” Bu yüzden suyu içmek istemedi. Bu üç kişinin yiğitliği işte böyleydi.
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.
Yoav'ın kardeşi, Seruya oğlu Avişay Üçler'in önderiydi. Mızrağını kaldırıp üç yüz kişiyi öldürdü. Bu yüzden Üçler kadar ünlendi.
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.
Üçler'in en saygın kişisiydi ve onların önderi oldu. Ama Üçler'den sayılmadı.
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.
Yehoyada oğlu Kavseelli Benaya yürekli bir savaşçıydı. Büyük işler başardı. Aslan yürekli iki Moavlı'yı öldürdü. Ayrıca karlı bir gün çukura inip bir aslan öldürdü.
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.
İri yarı bir Mısırlı'yı da öldürdü. Mısırlı'nın elinde mızrak vardı. Benaya sopayla onun üzerine yürüdü. Mızrağı elinden kaptığı gibi onu kendi mızrağıyla öldürdü.
22 Those are [some of] the things that Benaiah did. As a result, he became famous, like the three greatest warriors were.
Yehoyada oğlu Benaya'nın yaptıkları bunlardır. Bu sayede o da üç yiğitler kadar ünlendi.
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.
Benaya Otuzlar arasında saygın bir yer edindiyse de, Üçler'den sayılmadı. Davut onu muhafız birliği komutanlığına atadı.
