< 2 Samuel 23 >
1 Now these [are] the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man [who was] raised on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet 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 spoke by me, and his word [was] on my tongue.
Herrens Aand talede ved mig, og hans Tale er paa min Tunge.
3 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, He that ruleth over men [must be] just, ruling 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 And [he shall be] as the light of the morning, [when] the sun riseth, [even] a morning without clouds; [as] the tender grass [springing] out of the earth by clear shining after rain.
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 Although my house [is] not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all [things], and sure: for [this is] all my salvation, and all [my] desire, although he maketh [it] not to grow.
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 [the sons] of Belial [shall be] all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:
Men Belials Børn, de skulle alle sammen være som Torne, der udkastes; thi de kunne ikke tages med Haand.
7 But the man [that] shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the [same] place.
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 mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same [was] Adino the Eznite: [he lifted up his spear] against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time.
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 And after him [was] Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, [one] of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines [that] were there assembled to battle, and the men of Israel had gone away:
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 He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand adhered to the sword: and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to plunder.
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 [was] Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were collected into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentils: and the people fled from 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 But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory.
og han stillede sig midt paa dette Stykke og friede det og slog Filisterne, og Herren gjorde en stor Frelse.
13 And three of the thirty chiefs went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
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] then in a hold, and the garrison of the Philistines [was] then [in] Beth-lehem.
Og David var da i Befæstningen; men Filisternes Befæstning var da i Bethlehem.
15 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, which [is] by 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 And the three mighty men broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that [was] by the gate, and took [it], and brought [it] to David: nevertheless he would not drink of it, but 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 And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this: [is not this] the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty 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 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief among three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred, [and] slew [them], and had the name among 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 Was he not most honorable of three? therefore he was their captain: yet he attained not to the [first] 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, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lion-like men of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time 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 And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew 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 These [things] did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name among three mighty men.
Disse Ting gjorde Benaja, Jojadas Søn, og han var navnkundig iblandt de tre vældige,
23 He was more honorable than the thirty, but he attained not to the [first] three. And David set him over his guard.
herligere end de tredive, men han naaede ikke de tre; og David satte ham i sit Raad.
