2 Samuelova 23

1 A ovo su pošljednje rijeèi Davidove: Reèe David sin Jesejev, reèe èovjek koji bi postavljen visoko, pomazanik Boga Jakovljeva, i ljubak u pjesmama Izrailjevim:

Now, these, are the last words of David, —The oracle of David, son of Jesse, Yea the oracle of The man raised up on high, The Anointed of the God of Jacob, the Delight of the Songs of Israel:

2 Duh Gospodnji govori preko mene, i besjeda njegova bi na mojem jeziku.

The Spirit of Yahweh, spake in me, —And, his word, was on my tongue;

3 Reèe Bog Izrailjev, kaza mi stijena Izrailjeva: koji vlada ljudima neka je pravedan, vladajuæi u strahu Božijem;

Said the God of Israel, Unto me, spake the Rock of Israel: —One Ruling over Men, A Righteous One, ruling in the reverence of God,

4 I biæe kao svjetlost jutrenja, kad sunce izlazi jutrom bez oblaka, i kao trava koja raste iz zemlje od svjetlosti iza dažda.

Is even as the light of the morning when ariseth the sun, —A morning, without clouds, [As] from brightness, [and] from rain, the fresh shoots out of the earth.

5 Ako i nije taki dom moj pred Bogom, ipak je uèinio zavjet vjeèan sa mnom, u svemu dobro ureðen i utvrðen. I to je sve spasenje moje i sva želja moja, ako i ne da da raste.

When, not so, was my house with GOD, Then, a covenant age-abiding, he appointed me, Ordered in all things and guarded, Now that it is all my salvation and all my desire, Will he not make it shoot forth?

6 A bezakonici æe svikoliki biti kao trnje poèupani, koje se ne hvata rukom.

But, as for the abandoned, like thorns to be tossed away are they all, —For, not with the hand, can they be taken;

7 Nego ko hoæe da ga se dohvati, uzme gvožðe ili kopljaèu; i sažiže se ognjem na mjestu.

But, the man that would touch them, Must fence himself with iron, and the shaft of a spear, —Then, with fire, shall they be, consumed, on the spot!

8 Ovo su imena junaka Davidovijeh: Josev-Vasevet Tahmonac prvi izmeðu trojice; njemu milina bi udariti s kopljem na osam stotina, i pobi ih ujedanput.

These, are the names of the mighty men, who belonged to David, —The president a Tachmonite head of the charioteers, the same, was Adino the Eznite, for eight hundred, slain at one time.

9 Za njim Eleazar sin Dodona sina Ahohova, izmeðu tri junaka koji bijahu s Davidom, i osramotiše Filisteje skupljene na boj, kad Izrailjci otidoše;

And, after him, Eleazar son of Dodo, son of Ahohi, —in the hero-class of mighty men, with David, when they reproached the Philistines, they were gathered together there to battle, but the men of Israel had gone up;

10 On se podiže, i bi Filisteje dokle mu se ruka ne umori i ukoèi se pri maèu; i Gospod dade veliko spasenje onaj dan, te se narod vrati za njim samo da pokupi plijen.

he, however, arose and smote among the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto his sword, so Yahweh wrought a great victory on that day, —the people, coming back after him, only to strip the slain.

11 A za njim Sama sin Agejev Araranin; kad se Filisteji skupiše u gomilu, i ondje bješe njiva puna leæa, i narod pobježe od Filisteja,

And, after him, Shammah son of Agee, the Hararite, —and, when the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, there being at hand an allotment of field-land full of lentils, but, the people, having fled from the face of the Philistines,

12 Stade usred njive, i odbrani je, i pobi Filisteje, i Bog dade veliko spasenje.

then took he his stand in the midst of the allotment, and defended it, and smote the Philistines, —and Yahweh wrought a great victory.

13 I ta tri prva izmeðu trideset siðoše i doðoše o žetvi k Davidu u peæinu Odolamsku, kad vojska Filistejska stajaše u okolu u dolini Rafajskoj.

And three of the thirty chiefs descended, and came in, towards harvest, unto David, unto the cave of Adullam, —although, a troop of Philistines, were encamped in the vale of Rephaim;

14 A David bijaše onda u gradu, i bješe onda straža Filistejska u Vitlejemu.

and, David, then was in a stronghold, —and, a garrison of Philistines, was then in Bethlehem.

15 A David zaželje, i reèe: ko bi mi donio vode da pijem iz studenca Vitlejemskoga što je kod vrata!

And David longed, and said, —Who will give me to drink water out of the well of Bethlehem, that is within the gate?

16 Tada ona tri junaka prodriješe kroz oko Filistejski, i zahvatiše vode iz studenca Vitlejemskoga što je kod vrata, i donesoše i dadoše Davidu; ali on je ne htje piti, nego je proli pred Gospodom;

And the three mighty men brake through the camp of Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was within the gate, and bare it, and brought it in unto David, —yet would he not drink, but poured it out unto Yahweh,

17 I reèe: ne daj Bože da bih to uèinio. Nije li to krv ovijeh ljudi, koji ne mareæi za život svoj idoše. I ne htje piti. To uèiniše ova tri junaka.

and said—Be it far from me, O Yahweh, that I should do this! is it not the blood of the men who went with their lives [in their hands]? So he would not drink it. These things, did the three mighty men.

18 I Avisaj brat Joavov sin Serujin bješe prvi izmeðu trojice; on mahnu kopljem svojim na tri stotine, i pobi ih, i proslavi se meðu trojicom.

And. Abishai brother of Joab son of Zeruiah, he, was chief of three, in that he brandished his spear against three hundred whom he slew; and, he, had a name among three.

19 Izmeðu te trojice bješe najslavniji, i posta im poglavar; ali one trojice ne stiže.

Was he not most honourable, of the three, and so became their captain? Nevertheless, unto the three, he attained not.

20 I Venaja sin Jodajev, sin èovjeka junaka, velik djelima, iz Kavseila; on pogubi dva junaka Moavska, i sišav ubi lava u jami kad bješe snijeg.

Benaiah also, son of Jehoiadah, son of an active man, hero of many a deed, a man of Kabzeel, he, smote the two sons of Ariel of Moab, he, also went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit, on a day of snow;

21 On ubi i jednoga Misirca, znatna èovjeka; imaše Misirac koplje u ruci, a on izide na nj sa štapom, i istrže Misircu koplje iz ruke, i ubi ga njegovijem kopljem.

he, also smote an Egyptian, who was of valiant bearing, and, in the hand of the Egyptian, was a spear, but he went down unto him with a staff, —and wrested the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slew him with his own spear.

22 To uèini Venaja sin Jodajev, i bi slavan meðu ova tri junaka.

These things, did Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and, he, had a name among three mighty men.

23 Bješe najslavniji izmeðu tridesetorice, ali one trojice ne stiže; i David ga postavi nad pratiocima svojim.

He was the most honourable, of thirty, although, unto the three, he attained no, —so David added him to his council.
