2 Samuel 23
1 Torej to so zadnje Davidove besede. Jesejev sin David je rekel in mož, ki je bil vzdignjen na visoko, maziljenec Jakobovega Boga in prijeten Izraelov psalmist, je rekel:
Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse saith, And the man who was raised on high saith, The anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweet psalmist of Israel:
2 » Gospodov Duh je govoril po meni in njegova beseda je bila na mojem jeziku.
The Spirit of Jehovah spake by me, And his word was upon my tongue.
3 Izraelov Bog je rekel: ›Izraelova skala mi je spregovorila: ›Kdor vlada nad ljudmi, mora biti pravičen, vladajoč v strahu Božjem.‹‹
The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spake to me: One that ruleth over men righteously, That ruleth in the fear of God,
4 In on bo kakor svetloba jutra, ko vzhaja sonce, celó brezoblačno jutro, kakor nežna trava, ki poganja iz zemlje, s čistim sijanjem po dežju.
[He shall be] as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, A morning without clouds, [When] the tender grass [springeth] out of the earth, Through clear shining after rain.
5 Čeprav moja hiša ni takšna z Bogom, vendar je z menoj sklenil večno zavezo, urejeno v vseh stvareh in zanesljivo. Kajti to je vsa moja rešitev duše in vsa moja želja, čeprav ji on ne daje rasti.
Verily my house is not so with God; Yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in all things, and sure: For it is all my salvation, and all [my] desire, Although he maketh it not to grow.
6 Toda Beliálovi sinovi bodo vsi izmed njih kakor zavrženo trnje, ker ne morejo biti prijeti z rokami,
But the ungodly shall be all of them as thorns to be thrust away, Because they cannot be taken with the hand;
7 toda človek, ki se jih bo dotaknil, mora biti ograjen z železom in palico sulice, in na istem kraju bodo popolnoma požgani z ognjem.«
But the man that toucheth them Must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear: And they shall be utterly burned with fire in [their] place.
8 To so imena mogočnih mož, ki jih je imel David: Tahkemoníjec, ki je sedel na sedežu, glavni izmed poveljnikov; enak je bil Ezničan Adino. Svojo sulico je vzdignil proti osemstotim, ki jih je enkrat pobil.
These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite, against eight hundred slain at one time.
9 Za njim je bil Eleazar, sin Dodója, Ahóahovca, z Davidom eden izmed treh mogočnih mož, ko so izzivali Filistejce, ki so bili tam skupaj zbrani za boj in Izraelovi možje so odšli proč.
And 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 that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away.
10 Ta je vstal in udarjal Filistejce, dokler njegova roka ni bila izmučena in se je njegova roka trdno oklenila meča in Gospod je tisti dan izvršil veliko zmago in ljudstvo se je vrnilo za njim, [vendar] samo da plenijo.
He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword; and Jehovah wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take spoil.
11 Za njim je bil Šamá, sin Hararéjca Agaja. Filistejci so bili skupaj zbrani v krdelo, kjer je bil kos polja poln leče in ljudstvo je pobegnilo pred Filistejci.
And after him was Shammah the son of Agee a Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.
12 Toda on je stal na sredi polja in ga obranil in pobil Filistejce, in Gospod je izvršil veliko zmago.
But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and Jehovah wrought a great victory.
13 Trije izmed tridesetih vodij so odšli dol in prišli k Davidu v času žetve, k votlini Adulám, in krdelo Filistejcev je taborilo v dolini Rafájim.
And three of the thirty chief men went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
14 David je bil takrat v utrdbi in garnizija Filistejcev je bila takrat v Betlehemu.
And David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Beth-lehem.
15 David je hrepenel in rekel: »Oh, da bi mi nekdo dal piti od vode betlehemskega vodnjaka, ki je pri velikih vratih!«
And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the gate!
16 Trije mogočni možje so predrli vojsko Filistejcev in zajeli vodo iz betlehemskega vodnjaka, ki je bil pri velikih vratih in jo vzeli ter jo prinesli k Davidu, pa vendar ni hotel piti od nje, temveč jo je izlil Gospodu.
And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto Jehovah.
17 Rekel je: »Daleč naj bo od mene, oh Gospod, da bi to storil. Mar ni to kri mož, ki so šli v nevarnosti za svoja življenja?« Zato tega ni hotel piti. Te stvari so storili ti trije mogočni možje.
And he said, Be it far from me, O Jehovah, that I should do this: [shall I drink] the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.
18 Abišáj, Joábov brat, Cerújin sin, je bil vodja med tremi. Svojo sulico je dvignil proti tristotim in jih pobil in imel je ime med tremi.
And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred and slew them, and had a name among the three.
19 Mar ni bil on najbolj častitljiv izmed treh? Zato je bil njihov poveljnik, vendar prvih treh ni dosegel.
Was he not most honorable of the three? therefore he was made their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the [first] three.
20 Jojadájev sin Benajá, sin hrabrega moža iz Kabceéla, ki je storil mnogo dejanj, je usmrtil dva, levom podobna moža iz Moába. Odšel je tudi dol in ubil leva v sredi jame v času snega.
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he slew the two [sons of] Ariel of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.
21 Ubil je Egipčana, čednega moža. Egipčan je imel v svoji roki sulico, toda dol k njemu je šel s palico in iztrgal sulico iz Egipčanove roke in ga ubil z njegovo lastno sulico.
And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: 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 slew him with his own spear.
22 Te stvari je storil Jojadájev sin Benajá in imel je ime med tremi mogočnimi možmi.
These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name among the three mighty men.
23 Bil je častitljivejši od tridesetih, vendar prvih treh ni dosegel. In David ga je postavil nad svojo stražo.
He was more honorable than the thirty, but he attained not to the [first] three. And David set him over his guard.
