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. David the son of Jesse says, the man who was raised on high says, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel:
2 Duh Gospodnji govori preko mene, i besjeda njegova bi na mojem jeziku.
“The LORD’s Spirit spoke by me. His word was on my tongue.
3 Reèe Bog Izrailjev, kaza mi stijena Izrailjeva: koji vlada ljudima neka je pravedan, vladajuæi u strahu Božijem;
The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, ‘One who rules over men righteously, who rules in the fear 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.
shall be as the light of the morning when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs out of the earth, through clear shining after rain.’
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.
Isn’t my house so with God? Yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure, for it is all my salvation and all my desire. Won’t he make it grow?
6 A bezakonici æe svikoliki biti kao trnje poèupani, koje se ne hvata rukom.
But all the ungodly will be as thorns to be thrust away, because they can’t be taken with the hand.
7 Nego ko hoæe da ga se dohvati, uzme gvožðe ili kopljaèu; i sažiže se ognjem na mjestu.
The man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear. They will be utterly burned with fire in their place.”
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 whom David had: Josheb Basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; he was called Adino the Eznite, who killed eight hundred 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;
After him was Eleazar the son of Dodai the son of an Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel had gone away.
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 arose and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and the LORD worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take plunder.
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,
After him was Shammah the son of Agee a Hararite. The Philistines had gathered together into a troop where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.
12 Stade usred njive, i odbrani je, i pobi Filisteje, i Bog dade veliko spasenje.
But he stood in the middle of the plot and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and the LORD worked 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.
Three of the thirty chief men went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
14 A David bijaše onda u gradu, i bješe onda straža Filistejska u Vitlejemu.
David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the 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!
David said longingly, “Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by 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;
The three mighty men broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate and took it and brought it to David; but he would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD.
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.
He said, “Be it far from me, LORD, that I should do this! Isn’t this the blood of the men who risked their lives to go?” Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.
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.
Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. He lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three.
19 Izmeðu te trojice bješe najslavniji, i posta im poglavar; ali one trojice ne stiže.
Wasn’t he most honorable of the three? Therefore he was made their captain. However he wasn’t included as one of the three.
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 the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit in a time 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 killed a huge Egyptian, and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.
22 To uèini Venaja sin Jodajev, i bi slavan meðu ova tri junaka.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the three mighty men.
23 Bješe najslavniji izmeðu tridesetorice, ali one trojice ne stiže; i David ga postavi nad pratiocima svojim.
He was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three. David set him over his guard.
