< 2 Samuele 23 >

1 Queste sono le ultime parole di Davide: “Parola di Davide, figliuolo d’Isai, parola dell’uomo che fu elevato ad alta dignità, dell’unto dell’Iddio di Giacobbe, del dolce cantore d’Israele:

These are the last words of David. Now David, the son of Jesse, the man to whom it was appointed concerning the Christ of the God of Jacob, the preeminent psalmist of Israel said:

2 Lo spirito dell’Eterno ha parlato per mio mezzo, e la sua parola è stata sulle mie labbra.

“The Spirit of the Lord has spoken through me, and his word was spoken through my tongue.

3 L’Iddio d’Israele ha parlato, la Ròcca d’Israele m’ha detto: “Colui che regna sugli uomini con giustizia, colui che regna con timor di Dio,

The God of Israel spoke to me, the Strong One of Israel spoke, the Ruler of men, the Just Ruler, in the fear of God,

4 è come la luce mattutina, quando il sole si leva in un mattino senza nuvole, e col suo splendore, dopo la pioggia, fa spuntare l’erbetta dalla terra”.

like the first light of the morning as the sun is rising, when a morning without clouds glows red, and like plants springing forth from the earth after a rainfall.

5 Non è egli così della mia casa dinanzi a Dio? Poich’egli ha fermato con me un patto eterno, in ogni punto ben regolato e sicuro appieno. Non farà egli germogliare la mia completa salvezza e tutto ciò ch’io bramo?

But my house is not so great with God that he should undertake an eternal covenant with me, firm and fortified in all things. For he is the entirety of my salvation and the entirety of my will. And there is nothing of this which will not spring forth.

6 Ma gli scellerati tutti quanti son come spine che si buttan via e non si piglian con la mano;

But all prevaricators shall be plucked out like thorns, yet they are not taken away by hands.

7 chi le tocca s’arma d’un ferro o d’un’asta di lancia e si bruciano interamente là dove sono”.

And if anyone wishes to touch them, he must be armed with iron and a wooden lance. And they shall be set ablaze and burned to nothing.”

8 Questi sono i nomi dei valorosi guerrieri che furono al servizio di Davide: Josheb-Basshebeth, il Tahkemonita, capo dei principali ufficiali. Egli impugnò la lancia contro ottocento uomini, che uccise in un solo scontro.

These are the names of the valiant of David. Sitting in the chair was the wisest leader among the three; he was like a very tender little worm in a tree, who killed eight hundred men in one attack.

9 Dopo di lui veniva Eleazar, figliuolo di Dodo, figliuolo di Akoi, uno dei tre valorosi guerrieri che erano con Davide, quando sfidarono i Filistei raunati per combattere, mentre gli Israeliti si ritiravano sulle alture.

After him, there was Eleazar, the son of his paternal uncle, an Ahohite, who was among the three valiant men who were with David when they chastised the Philistines, and they were gathered together in battle there.

10 Egli si levò, percosse i Filistei, finché la sua mano, spossata, rimase attaccata alla spada. E l’Eterno concesse in quel giorno una gran vittoria, e il popolo tornò a seguire Eleazar soltanto per spogliare gli uccisi.

And when the men of Israel had gone up, he himself stood fast and struck down the Philistines, until his hand grew weak and stiff with the sword. And the Lord wrought a great salvation on that day. And the people who had fled returned to take up the spoils of the slain.

11 Dopo di lui veniva Shamma, figliuolo di Aghé, lo Hararita. I Filistei s’erano radunati in massa; e in quel luogo v’era un campo pieno di lenticchie; e, come i popolo fuggiva dinanzi ai Filistei,

And after him, there was Shammah, the son of Agee, from Hara. And the Philistines gathered together at an outpost. For a field full of lentils was in that place. And when the people had fled from the face of the Philistines,

12 Shamma si piantò in mezzo al campo, lo difese, e sconfisse i Filistei. E l’Eterno concesse una gran vittoria.

he stood fast in the middle of the field, and it was protected by him. And he struck down the Philistines. And the Lord wrought a great salvation.

13 Tre dei trenta capi scesero, al tempo della mietitura, e vennero da Davide nella spelonca di Adullam, mentre una schiera di Filistei era accampata nella valle dei Refaim.

And moreover, before this, the three who were leaders among the thirty descended and went to David at harvest time, in the cave of Adullam. But the camp of the Philistines was positioned in the Valley of the giants.

14 Davide era allora nella fortezza, e c’era un posto di Filistei a Bethlehem.

And David was in a stronghold. Moreover, there was a garrison of the Philistines at that time in Bethlehem.

15 Davide ebbe un desiderio, e disse: “Oh se qualcuno mi desse da bere dell’acqua del pozzo ch’è vicino alla porta di Bethlehem!”

Then David desired, and he said, “If only someone would give me a drink of the water from the cistern, which is in Bethlehem beside the gate!”

16 E i tre prodi s’aprirono un varco attraverso al campo filisteo, attinsero dell’acqua dal pozzo di Bethlehem, vicino alla porta; e presala seco, la presentarono a Davide; il qual però non ne volle bere, ma la sparse davanti all’Eterno,

Therefore, the three valiant men burst into the encampment of the Philistines, and they drew water from the cistern of Bethlehem, which was beside the gate. And they brought it to David. Yet he was not willing to drink; instead, he poured it out to the Lord,

17 dicendo: “Lungi da me, o Eterno, ch’io faccia tal cosa! Beverei io il sangue di questi uomini, che sono andati là a rischio della loro vita?” E non la volle bere. Questo fecero quei tre prodi.

saying: “May the Lord be gracious to me, so that I may not do this. Should I drink the blood of these men who have set out to the peril of their own lives?” Therefore, he was not willing to drink. These things were accomplished by these three robust men.

18 Abishai, fratello di Joab, figliuolo di Tseruia, fu il capo di altri tre. Egli impugnò la lancia contro trecento uomini, e li uccise; e s’acquistò fama fra i tre.

Also Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was first among the three. It was he who lifted up his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed. And he was renowned among the three,

19 Fu il più illustre dei tre, e perciò fu fatto loro capo; nondimeno non giunse ad eguagliare i primi tre.

and he was the noblest of the three, and he was their leader. But at first he did not attain to the three.

20 Poi veniva Benaia da Kabtseel, figliuolo di Jehoiada, figliuolo di Ish-hai, celebre per le sue prodezze. Egli uccise i due grandi eroi di Moab. Discese anche in mezzo a una cisterna, dove uccise un leone, un giorno di neve.

And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, a very strong man of great deeds, was from Kabzeel. He slew the two lions of Moab, and he descended and slew a lion in the middle of a den, in the days of snow.

21 E uccise pure un Egiziano, d’aspetto formidabile, e che teneva una lancia in mano; ma Benaia gli scese contro con un bastone, strappò di mano all’Egiziano la lancia, e se ne servì per ucciderlo.

He also killed an Egyptian who had a spear in his hand, a man worthy to behold. And yet he had gone down to him with only a staff. And he forced the spear from the hand of the Egyptian, and he killed him with his own spear.

22 Questo fece Benaia, figliuolo di Jehoiada; e s’acquistò fama fra i tre prodi.

Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, accomplished these things.

23 Fu il più illustre dei trenta; nondimeno non giunse ad eguagliare i primi tre. E Davide lo ammise nel suo consiglio.

And he was renowned among the three robust men, who were the most noble among the thirty. Yet truly, he did not attain to the three, until David made him his secret advisor.

24 Poi v’erano: Asael, fratello di Joab, uno dei trenta; Elkanan, figliuolo di Dodo, da Bethlehem;

Among the thirty were: Asahel, the brother of Joab, Elhanan, the son of his paternal uncle, from Bethlehem,

25 Shamma da Harod; Elika da Harod;

Shammah from Harod, Elika from Harod,

26 Helets da Pelet; Ira, figliuolo di Ikkesh, da Tekoa;

Helez from Palti, Ira, the son of Ikkesh, from Tekoa,

27 Abiezer da Anathoth; Mebunnai da Husha;

Abiezer from Anathoth, Mebunnai from Hushah,

28 Tsalmon da Akoa; Maharai da Netofa;

Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite,

29 Heleb, figliuolo di Baana, da Netofa; Ittai, figliuolo di Ribai, da Ghibea, de’ figliuoli di Beniamino;

Heleb, the son of Baanah, also himself a Netophathite, Ittai, the son of Ribai, from Gibeah, of the sons of Benjamin,
