< 2 Samuel 23 >

1 Dette er Davids siste ord: «So lyder ordi frå David, Isaisonen, so lyder ordi frå mannen som vart upphøgd, han som Jakobs Gud hev salva, Israels ljuvlege songmeister:

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 Herrens Ande hev tala i meg, ordi hans er på tunga mi.

“The Spirit of the Lord spoke through me; my tongue gave his message.

3 Israels Gud hev tala so, Israels berg hev sagt til meg: Den som råder og gjer rett millom menn, den som rikjer i otte for Gud;

Israel's God spoke; Israel's Rock told me, ‘He who rules the people justly, he who rules respecting God,

4 han likjest på dagsprett når soli renn, ein morgon forutan skyer, når graset grønkast i sol etter regn.

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 Er det’kje so med mitt hus hjå Gud? Han gjorde ævelegt samband med meg, feste og trygde meg heilt og fullt. Ja, alt som vert meg til frelsa og gleda, det let han visseleg veksa åt meg.

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 Men uvyrdor likjest alle på utkasta tornar, ein vil ikkje taka i deim med hender.

But evil people are like thorns to be thrown aside; they can't be held in the hand.

7 Lyt ein røra deim væpnar ein seg med jarn og med spjotskaft; so set ein eld på deim og brenner deim på flekken.»

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 Dette er namni på dei djervaste stridsmennerne åt David: Joseb-Bassebet, tahkmoniten, den fremste av kjemporne, han som svinga spjotet yver åtte hundrad falne på ein gong.

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 Næst honom kom Eleazar, son åt Dodi, son åt ein ahohit. Han var ein av dei tri stridsmennerne som var med David, då filistarane samla seg til strid og svivyrde deim då Israels-mennerne drog seg attende.

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 Men han heldt stand og hogg laust på filistarane, til dess handi hans trøytna, so ho trena i hop kring sverdet. Og Herren gav ein stor siger den dagen. Etterpå hadde folket berre å snu um og fylgja med honom og plundra.

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 Næst honom kom Samma, son åt Age, ein hararit. Ein gong stemnde filistarane i hop og vart til ein heil flokk. Der var ein åkerteig full av linsor. Folket rømde for filistarane.

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 Då tok han post midt på åkerteigen og verna honom, og slo filistarane. Herren gav ein stor siger.

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 Ein gong drog tri av dei tretti fremste kararne ned, og kom i skurdonni til David i Adullams-helleren, medan ein filistarflokk låg i læger i Refa’imsdalen.

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 David var då i fjellborgi, samstundes med at ein filistarpost låg i Betlehem.

At the time David was in the stronghold, and the Philistine garrison was in Bethlehem.

15 David fekk slik hug og sagde: «Gjev einkvan vilde gjeva meg vatn å drikka frå brunnen ved byporten 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!”

16 Då braut dei tri stridsmennerne seg gjenom filistarlægret, auste vatn or brunnen ved byporten i Betlehem og bar det til David. Men han vilde ikkje drikka det, men helte det ut for Herren.

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 For han sagde: «Aldri i verdi, Herre, vil eg gjera dette! Skulde eg drikka blodet av dei mennerne som gjekk av stad og våga livet sitt?» Og han vilde ikkje drikka det. - Sovore hadde dei tri stridsmennerne gjort.

“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 Abisai, bror åt Joab Serujason, var den fremste av tri andre. Ein gong svinga han spjotet sitt yver tri hundrad falne. Han hadde eit stort namn 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.

19 han var visseleg meir vyrd enn nokon annan i dette trimannslaget; og han var hovding yver dei hine. Men upp til dei tri fyrste nådde han ikkje.

He was the most highly regarded of the Three and was their commander, though he was not one of the first Three.

20 Benaja Jojadason var son til ein djerv og dådrik mann frå Kabse’el. Han slo dei tvo Ariel i Moab. Det var han som steig ned ein snøversdag og drap løva i brunnen.

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 Han drap og den egyptaren som var so sjåleg. Endå egyptaren hadde spjot i hand, gjekk han på honom berre med ein stav. Han reiv spjotet ut or handi på egyptaren og drap honom med hans eige spjot.

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 Sovore hadde Benaja Jojadason gjort. Han hadde eit stort namn millom dei tri stridsmennerne.

These were the kind of things Benaiah did that made him as famous as the Three leading warriors.

23 Han var meir vyrd enn nokon av dei tretti. Men upp til dei tri nådde han ikkje. David sette honom inn i 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.

24 Til dei tretti høyrde: Asael, bror åt Joab, Elhanan Dodoson frå Betlehem,

Included in the Thirty were: Asahel, Joab's brother; Elhanan, son of Dodo, from Bethlehem;
