Otra Samuela 23
1 Un šie ir Dāvida pēdīgie vārdi. Dāvida, Isajus dēla, vārdi: tā saka tas vīrs, kas apstiprināts par Jēkaba Dieva svaidīto, un kas mīlīgs Israēla dziesmās:
These are David's last words. The divine message of David son of Jesse, the divine message of the man made great by God, the one anointed by the God of Jacob, the wonderful psalm-writer of Israel:
2 Tā Kunga Gars caur mani runā, un Viņa vārds ir uz manas mēles.
“The Spirit of the Lord spoke through me; my tongue gave his message.
3 Israēla Dievs saka, Israēla patvērums uz mani runā: valdītājs pār cilvēkiem, kas taisns, valdītājs dievbijāšanā,
Israel's God spoke; Israel's Rock told me, ‘He who rules the people justly, he who rules respecting God,
4 Tas ir kā rīta gaisma, kad saule uzlec, kā rīts bez mākoņiem, kā kad no spožuma un lietus zaļums zeļ no zemes.
is like the light of the morning sunrise on a cloudless dawn; like the shining of raindrops on the new grass growing from the earth.’
5 Vai tāds nav mans nams ar to stipro Dievu? Jo Viņš man uzcēlis mūžīgu derību, kas visādi labi nolikta un pasargāta. Jo visai manai pestīšanai un visam labam prātam, vai Viņš tam neliks plaukt?
Isn't this how my family is with God? For he has made an everlasting agreement with me, set out in detail and with every part guaranteed. He will make sure to save me and to give me all I want.
6 Bet tie netiklie, tie visi ir kā nomesti ērkšķi, ko rokā neņem.
But evil people are like thorns to be thrown aside; they can't be held in the hand.
7 Bet ikviens, kas tos grib aizskart, ņem dzelzs ieroci jeb šķēpa kātu rokā; un tos sadedzina ar uguni tai vietā, kur tie auguši. -
The only way to deal with them is to use an iron tool or the handle of a spear. They are completely burned up right where they are.”
8 Šie ir to varoņu vārdi, kas Dāvidam bijuši: Jazabeams, Akmona dēls, tas augstākais starp tiem virsniekiem. Viņš cilāja savu šķēpu un pārvarēja astoņsimt un tos nokāva vienā reizē.
These are the names of the leading warriors who supported David: Josheb-Basshebeth, a Tahkemonite, leader of the Three. Using his spear, he once killed eight hundred men in a single battle.
9 Un pēc tā bija Eleazars, Dodus dēls, Aoka dēla dēls, šis bija starp tiem trim varoņiem ar Dāvidu, kad tie Fīlistus kaunā lika, kas tur bija sapulcējušies uz karu, un Israēla vīri (pret tiem) cēlās.
After him came Eleazar, son of Dodai, the Ahohite, one of the Three leading warriors. He was with David when they defied the Philistines gathered for battle at Pas-dammin. The Israelites retreated,
10 Šis cēlās un kāva Fīlistus, tiekams viņa roka piekusa un viņa roka pie zobena pielipa, un Tas Kungs deva tai dienā lielu pestīšanu, ka tie ļaudis atgriezās viņam pakaļ, tikai laupīt.
but Eleazar took his stand and went on killing Philistines until his hand stuck to his sword. The Lord saved them by granting them a great victory. The Israelite army did return, but only to strip the dead.
11 Pēc viņa bija Šammus, Agas dēls, tas Arariets. Kad Fīlisti bija sapulcējušies vienā ciemā, un tur bija tīrums ar lēcām, un tie ļaudis bēga priekš Fīlistiem,
After him came Shammah, son of Agee, the Hararite. When the Philistines gathered at Lehi, in a field full of lentils, the Israelite army ran away from them,
12 Tad viņš apstājās paša tīruma vidū un to aizstāvēja, un kāva Fīlistus, un Tas Kungs deva lielu pestīšanu.
but Shammah took his stand in the middle of the field, defending it and killing the Philistines. The Lord gave them a great victory.
13 Un šie trīs virsnieki starp trīsdesmit vareniem vīriem nogāja un nāca pļaujamā laikā pie Dāvida, Adulama alā, un Fīlistu pulki bija apmetušies Refaīm ielejā.
At harvest time, the Three, who were part of the Thirty leading warriors, went down to meet David when he was at the cave of Adullam. The Philistine army was camped in the valley of Rephaim.
14 Bet Dāvids to brīdi bija pilskalnā, un Fīlisti bija ielikuši Bētlemē karavīrus.
At the time David was in the stronghold, and the Philistine garrison was in Bethlehem.
15 Un Dāvidam iegribējās un viņš sacīja: kas man dos ūdeni dzert no tās akas pie Bētlemes vārtiem?
David was feeling really thirsty, and he said, “If only someone could bring me a drink of water from the well beside the entrance gate to Bethlehem!”
16 Tad šie trīs varoņi izlauzās caur Fīlistu lēģeri un smēla ūdeni no Bētlemes akas, kas bija pie vārtiem, un ņēma un atnesa to pie Dāvida. Bet viņš to negribēja dzert, bet to izlēja Tam Kungam,
The Three leading warriors broke through the Philistine defenses, took some water from the well at Bethelehem's gate, and brought it back to David. But David refused to drink it, and poured it out as an offering to the Lord.
17 Un sacīja: lai Tas Kungs mani pasargā, ka es to nedaru. Vai tās nav to vīru asinis, kas nogājuši, savu dzīvību netaupīdami? Un viņš to negribēja dzert. To šie trīs varoņi darīja.
“Lord, never let me do this!” he said. “Isn't it like drinking the blood of these men who risked their lives?” So he did not drink it. This is just some of the things the Three leading warriors did.
18 Un Abizajus, Joaba brālis, Cerujas dēls, bija arīdzan par virsnieku starp trim. Tas pacēla savu šķēpu pret trīs simtiem un tos nokāva, un viņš bija arīdzan slavēts starp trim.
Abishai, Joab's brother, was leader of the second Three. Using his spear, he once killed 300 men, and became famous among the Three.
19 No šiem trim viņš bija tas augstākais, tāpēc viņš tiem bija par virsnieku, bet viņš tos trīs (pirmos) nepanāca.
He was the most highly regarded of the Three and was their commander, though he was not one of the first Three.
20 Vēl bija Benajus, Jojadas dēls, stipra vīra dēls, kas lielus darbus darījis, no Kabceēles; šis kāva divus stiprus Moabiešu lauvas, viņš arī nogāja un alā kāva vienu lauvu sniega laikā.
Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, a strong warrior from Kabzeel, did many amazing things. He killed two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went after a lion into a pit in the snow and killed it.
21 Viņš arī kāva vienu briesmīgu Ēģiptieti, un tā ēģiptieša rokā bija šķēps, bet viņš nogāja pie tā ar zizli un izrāva to šķēpu no tā ēģiptieša rokas un to nokāva ar viņa paša šķēpu.
Another time he killed a huge Egyptian. The Egyptian had a spear in his hand but Benaiah attacked him with just a club. He grabbed the spear from the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.
22 To Benajus, Jojadas dēls, darīja un viņš bija slavēts starp tiem trim varoņiem.
These were the kind of things Benaiah did that made him as famous as the Three leading warriors.
23 Viņš bija tas augstākais starp tiem trīsdesmit, bet tos trīs pirmos viņš nepanāca. Un Dāvids viņu iecēla pār saviem pils karavīriem.
He was the most highly regarded of the Thirty, though he was not one of the Three. David put him in charge of his personal bodyguard.
