1 Krønikebok 11
1 Då kom heile Israel i hop hjå David i Hebron og sagde: «Du veit me og du er same folket.
All the Israelites gathered to meet with David in Hebron. They told him, “We are your flesh and blood.
2 Alt longe sidan, då Saul endå var konge, var du den som førde Israel. Og til deg hev Herren din Gud, sagt: «Du skal vera ein hyrding for Israel, folket mitt, ja, du skal vera ein hovding yver mitt folk Israel.»»
In recent times, even though Saul was king, you were the real leader of Israel. The Lord your God told you, ‘You will be the shepherd of my people, and you will be the leader of my people Israel.’”
3 Då so alle styresmennerne i Israel kom til kongen i Hebron, gjorde David eit samband med deim der i Hebron for Herrens åsyn, og sidan salva dei David til konge yver Israel, etter Herrens ord gjenom Samuel.
All the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a solemn agreement with them before the Lord. There they anointed David as king of Israel, as the Lord had promised through Samuel.
4 Og David for med heile Israel til Jerusalem, det er Jebus; der var jebusitarne, som endå var att i landet.
Then David and all the Israelites went to Jerusalem (formerly known as Jebus) where the Jebusites lived.
5 Og Jebus-buarne sagde til David: «Du kjem ikkje inn her.» Men David tok like vel Sionsborgi, det er Davidsbyen.
The Jebusites told David, “You will not enter here!” But David did capture the fortress of Zion, now known as the City of David.
6 Og David sagde: «Den som fyrst drep ein jebusit, kven det so er, han skal verta hovding og herførar.» Og Joab, son åt Seruja, kom fyrst upp, og vart då hovding.
David had said, “Whoever is first to attack the Jebusites will be my commander-in-chief.” Since Joab, son of Zeruiah, was the first, he became commander-in-chief.
7 Sidan sette David seg til i borgi; difor kalla dei henne Davidsbyen.
David decided to love in the fortress, which is why they named it after him the City of David.
8 Og han bygde byen rundt umkring, frå Millo og heilt ikring, og Joab bygde upp att det andre av byen.
He built up the city all around it, from the Millo in a circuit all around, while Joab repaired the rest of the city.
9 Og Davids velde auka Davids velde stødt og stendigt, og Herren, allhers drott, var med honom.
David became more and more powerful, for the Lord Almighty was with him.
10 Og dette er dei gjævaste kjemporne hans David, som gav honom kraftig hjelp, i lag med heile Israel, til å verta konge, til å gjeva honom kongedømet hans, etter Herrens ord um Israel.
These were the leaders of David's powerful warriors who, along with all the Israelites, gave him strong support in becoming king, just as the Lord had promised would happen to Israel.
11 Dette er talet på kjemporne hans David: Jasobam, son til hakmoniføraren for kjemporne; han svinga spjotet sitt yver tri hundrad, som vart drepne i ein gong.
This is the list of the leading warriors who supported David: Jashobeam, son of Hachmoni, leader of the Three. Using his spear, he once killed 300 men in a single battle.
12 Og etter han kom Eleazar, son åt Dodo, ahohiten; han var ein av dei tri kjemporne.
After him came Eleazar, son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the Three leading warriors.
13 Han var med David i Pas-Dammim, då filistarane hadde kome saman til strid, og der var ein åkerlapp fullgrodd med bygg; og folket rømde for filistarane.
He was with David at Pas-dammin when the Philistines gathered for battle that took place in a field full of barley. The Israelite army ran away when the Philistines attacked,
14 Då stødte dei seg upp midt på åkerleppen og varde honom og hogg ned filistarane, og Herren gav deim soleis ein stor siger.
but David and Eleazar took a stand in the middle of the field, defending their ground and killing the Philistines. The Lord saved them by giving them a great victory.
15 Ein gong for tri av dei tretti hovdingarne nedetter berget til David ved Adullams-helleren, medan ein flokk med filistar hadde lægra seg i Refa’imsdalen.
Another 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.
16 Men David var den gongen i borgi, og ein av filistarvaktpost var då i Betlehem.
At the time David was in the stronghold, and the Philistine garrison was in Bethlehem.
17 Då fekk David brått ein sterk hug og sagde: «Å um einkvan vilde gjeva meg vatn å drikka utor brunnen som er attmed porten i Betlehem!»
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!”
18 Då slo dei tri seg gjenom filistarlægret og auste vatn utor brunnen ved porten i Betlehem, og tok og bar det åt David. Men David vilde ikkje drikka det, men helte det ut for Herren.
The Three 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.
19 For han sagde: «Gud late det aldri koma i mine tankar at eg skulde gjera slikt! Skulde eg drikka blodet av desse mennerne som hev våga livet? For med livs vågnad hev dei bore det hit.» Han vilde ikkje drikka det. Dette hadde dei tri kjemporne gjort.
“God forbid that I should do this!” he said. “It would be like drinking the blood of these men who risked their lives! They risked their lives to bring me a drink.” So he did not drink it. This is just some of the things the Three leading warriors did.
20 Absai, bror hans Joab, var føraren for dei tri; han svinga spjotet sitt yver tri hundrad, som vart drepne. Og han var namngjeten millom dei tri.
Abishai, Joab's brother, was leader of the second Three. Using his spear, he once killed 300 men, and became famous among the Three.
21 Han var ein gong til so mykje vyrd som nokon annan i dette tritalet, og han var hovdingen deira; men endå nådde han ikkje upp til dei tri fyrste.
He was the most highly regarded of the Three and was their commander, though he was not one of the first Three.
22 Benaja, son hans Jojada, som var son åt ein djerv og dådrik mann frå Kabse’el, han drap dei tvo Arielarne i Moab, og det var han som steig ned i brunnen ein snøversdag og slo i hel ei løva der.
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.
23 Han felte og den risestore egyptaren som var fem alner høg. Endå egyptaren hadde eit spjot i handi som liktest stor-riven i ein vev, so gjekk han imot honom, og hadde ikkje anna til verja enn staven sin. Og han rykte spjotet ut or handi på egyptaren og drap honom med hans eige spjot.
Another time he killed an Egyptian—a huge man who stood seven foot six inches tall. The Egyptian had a spear whose shaft was as thick as a weaver's rod. Benaiah attacked him with just a club, but he was able to grab the spear from the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.
24 Dette hadde Benaja Jojadason gjort. Og han var namngjeten millom dei tri kjemporne.
These were the kind of things Benaiah did that made him as famous as the Three leading warriors.
25 Ja, han var meir vyrd enn nokon av dei tretti; men upp til dei tri fyrste nådde han ikkje. Og David sette honom til hovding yver livvakti si.
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.
